Sunday 10

1. Do you mentor to troubled youths? I could see you getting in there and giving them the talk on why drugs are not good.

I have been a speaker on many panels about the potential downfalls of drug abuse. The thing to remember about speaking to young people is that for the most part, they are going to do what they are going to do until they are ready to start a new life on their own. All you can do is give them the information and let them know that there is an alternative. Never get preachy. I only refer to my experiences and what steps I took to stay clean.

2. If you were in a relationship for about a year and half and you have arguments and fights often about the same thing, what would you do?

Many times the source of an argument is valid but it's our inability to communicate respectfully and effectively that creates the bigger problem. I would suggest counseling where a neutral party could help keep discussions and sharing of feelings on the right track, without getting hurtful or stirring up unnecessary old baggage. A good counselor can also teach a couple the appropriate language to help get past some issues when they do come up. Instead of, "You are a jerk for doing such and such!" Try, "When such and such happened, I felt sad/afraid/angry/hurt/etc." Try not to assign blame, but take responsibility for your own part in the problem and your own feelings. If you want your relationship to be a team, you can't win anything. The idea is for the team to win. Once you have taken a side, you have become adversaries. Don't look for a way to win, look for a solution together.

3. Your necklaces are pretty unique. Are they all custom pieces?

No, I either interchange or lose things so often that it would be a waste to have stuff made.

creepy beat me to it!

anyway, here's a couple of CF related questions:

1. What about the 5 cities/5 years thing? Any plans (NY specifically)?

2. Setlist/guests Friday night?

Love,
Sue

Dave,
I'm looking forward to your solo effort. If it's anything like Trust, it'll be unbulleevable. I think a lot of fans feel it's your best work since Ritual. Good luck!

that was a rocking sequence of pics...ha at first when i read ''where are wendybirds CF pics''. i thought it was going to be a friend of yours dave called wendybird and CF meant centrefold pics...pleasantly surprised it was all rockgods rockin out all over each other in some kind of soundtrance...not the j geils band my angel in the centrefold...phew!!!gorgeous the dead boys like the lostboys by wendybird this is like some parallel peter pan session...you will all never grow old...in the neverland house of blues...:)i love it...cute too that shaven piece on the side of your face...xx

and i'd run my fingers through mark mcgrath's hair if i was you too perhaps with not such an ecstatic look upon my face but one of delight nonetheless...question for your sunday 10 what is with all the pics with mannequins with fingers and limbs missing on your SRL page and is it easier to pose for pics with inanimate subjects and more artsy do you think do you have a particular message you are trying to convey or do you just like to pose with inert plastic girls ...don't you find it much more fun to pose with mark and billy and slash for photos or is it a sad case of not finding any females willing to pose with you...ha or is it that so many have tried you have reverted to the prosthetic dolls...tell me dave what's goin in doll

Posted by: karen [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 5, 2007 07:45 PM


maent to say going on doll...damn the type errors...:)

Hi Dave,
dude the concert was the shit!!!! I have many, many more pics of you but only had a limited time to work. I'll post more when ever I go back home. Its hard working when you have a huge hangover!!!

Posted by: WendyBird [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 5, 2007 08:40 PM


Your old crony played my city this weekend and I wasn't there to see it - not that I wouldn't have loved to. I have a hard time enjoying concerts in large crowds these days, even if it's someone I really like. Been spoiled by too many killer shows at small venues I guess!

Do you ever miss being able to watch a show as some totally anonymous fan? For me, a huge part of the live music experience is just losing myself to what's coming from the stage in front of me. I don't know if I could do it if I was in your shoes - I'd be too aware of people being aware of me - AND THAT BUMS ME OUT FOR YOU! I know there's a trade off... you get to experience things in a way that most people only WISH they could - but still.... I've been lucky enough to be a backstage spectator a couple of times - and while it was cool as hell, it's just not the same! There are a ton of reasons I could never handle having any kind of fame - but that's a really big one.

Man, I feel like a big downer now. Hopefully, this doesn't bug you like it would me!

Wendy...I had to steal that sideways shot of Dave playing with his head down, and his arm stretched out...it makes a perfect desktop shot for my powerbook. Thanks!

ooooh forgot u still do the sunday thing? I had my waffles! Happy Sunday

Posted by: StarFucker* [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 12:27 AM


Dave, here's a relationship question since you seem to be so good at it.
If you were a girl who has been in a relationship for about a year and half,you have arguments and fights more often yet you realize its pretty much all about the same thing. You still love each other but 'work on the problem' hasn't show its effectiveness for all this time and you worried that it probably won't anyway, what would you do?

Thanks
Marianne

ps, the photos looks awesome you sexy man

Hey Dave,

Loved SE, hard to beleive that Emmy Rossum is only 20. She was absolutely amazing in Phantom IMO, they left the original for dust, and Gerard Butler...need I say more *sigh*.
Her solo stuff reminds me of a cross between Kate Bush and Clanard (sp?) which btw is a good thing.

This has probably been asked before, but I'll ask it again anyway,
If you had your pick of your absolute dream guest to interview on SE, who would it be and why? (dead or alive)

Have a great week all,
Take care
Lou xx

I would like to know if you have visited Bodies...The Exhibition at the Tropicana in Vegas? I was in Vegas recently, and I totally forgot about the exhibition. I imagine it would be something that would fascinate you too.

Posted by: Linda from San Diego [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 08:15 AM


i agree, you are the best at relationship advice because you're considerate to women and also very experienced..!

question: what encouragement could you give early 20s people who are struggling with the addiction issues you went thru at that age?

Posted by: Season [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 10:08 AM


Hi Dave!

I have a couple of questions....

The first one is a CFR question, sort of. I almost called one night to ask, but - is Billy the Gieco Gecko?

Another question - do you mentor to troubled youths? I could see you getting in there and giving them the talk on why drugs are not good....

And my last question, for now, have you ever consulted or thought of consulting and hypnotherapist?

Always,
me

Posted by: Angel [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 10:15 AM


First of all, I just want to say what a great time I had at the Dragonfly last Thursday. It was so cool to see the show happen live. Everyone there was super nice, and come on now...how often can you say that Dave Navarro bought your drinks? hahaha It was good to see you again, Dave, and like I said, I'll definitely be back once Im down there for good in September! I highly recommend all you LA people go check it out...you'll have a great time.

S10 -
Have you checked out that UFO dvd yet?

Posted by: Ambersonian [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 10:28 AM


"Linda from San Diego" -- I saw the 'Bodies' exhibit when it was here in Seattle. I was really looking forward to it, I was thinking it was pretty much going to be the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life, and shit -- those bodies are real!

But I found I did not enjoy it...I can't explain it really, because it was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be, but it had a sort of strange effect on me. Almost made me a little bit hot and queasy and I don't really have a weak stomach at all. I dunno -- I have always been fascinated by death and images of death and so forth but maybe the exhibit was a bit too clinical. Who knows.

Posted by: jsamans [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 11:07 AM


great answers and since you're being an all grown up advisory DN today, i've got one. have you ever had anyone tell you that they're gay for the first time and they've never actually said that outloud before. what's the best way forwards? i'm still dealing with an emotionally tough afternoon yesterday where a young girl did that with me and i spent time listening and reassuring her but honestly feel as if someone could do such a better job and somehow even that if i said the wrong thing this would stay with her for such a long time. sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. with love. xox

Posted by: vixen [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 11:14 AM


Thank you, Dave!

I was a mentor to a group of teens at a drop in center. I couldn't tell them what to do, but they looked up to me and it was good to know I made an impression on their lives.

For TV, would you consider a "telethon" for one of your causes?

Always,
me

Posted by: Angel [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 11:30 AM


Hi Vixen, i read your comment and had to reply.

I'm really not any expert, but what I find with young people is they are not necessarily looking for advice, they really just want someone to listen. Parents and family sometimes find it hard to do this properly because they are so emotionally involved. If you just let them talk through things they'll usually figure out where they want to go next on their own. Really, it would have just done her so much good to talk about it and she obviously picked you because she sensed you'd be a good listener.

Posted by: tiffanybean [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 01:11 PM


A tonne of stuff for me to catch up on in the land of 6767.......

I tried to sign in last week during the last days of my holiday in Ecuador, but the hotel internet was obviously having none of it! I would have only been 2 hours ahead as well rather than the usual 8 hours! 3 weeks of no mobiles and no E numbers, altitude sickness, travel sickness, sea sickness......and being photographed by the natives! It would seem that white tourists are rare in some parts of Ecuador and we drew crowds! A somewhat bizarre experience, not sure whether it was a pleasant experience or not! I'll not bitch again about the various gadgets in my house after watching women washing their clothes on rocks in rivers. What amazed me was how clean they get white t-shirts!! Maybe I ought to get my stuff down to the local river bank and give it a beating...perhaps not, I know what is floating down that river! My lack of Spanish was a problem, French and German doesn't get you very far in South America, English isn't always the answer either...although my playground sense of humour emerged when I found Plop and Atomic Bum lollipops in the supermarket, they summed up the 'illness' side of the holiday very well! On another note, I think I saw an ad billboard in Quito with Carmen Electra on it - don't know what it said..lack of Spanish again.

Enough of that.....The Bodies thing??? I haven't heard of the exhibition, but I assume the attraction is that they are real bodies? I'm not convinced that death is appropriate as an exhibition, it tends to be voyeuristic, rather than artistic?? I dissected bodies during my degree and many years later worked for a couple of months managing a mortuary where I saw death in many forms, young, old, natural, accidental, suicidal and drug related. I found it sad for the most part as I knew some of the deceased' background. I don't think I would find a body exhibition entertaining, though I can understand the attraction for people who have never seen death.

I'd agree with Dave's take on mentoring etc. Drugs and the related abuse problems are well publicised and for the most part drug education is good, but there are still addicts, and deaths, etc. Preaching and telling people not to do drugs is just going to switch them off and make them do the opposite, if they want to take drugs, they will... People need to know the score and that there is a way out, leading by example... I think Ozzy Osbourne is a depressing example of the physical effects of drug and alcohol abuse, the question is, if Ozzy saw the results of his behaviour before he embarked on his drug career, would he have done it anyway?

Marianne, are the fights etc. perhaps a sign of things to come? If they can't be resolved or overcome, perhaps they are a sign that the relationship is breaking down? An unpleasant wake-up call?

A long blurb, but I haven't had a chance for 3 weeks!! Happy Monday everyone..........SB

The picture you have chosen is my favorite from the ones I saw yesterday. I love seeing all of Wendy's photos!

Posted by: MoonRider613 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 04:47 PM


Dave,

Caught a clip of you at the AVN's on Gene Simmon's Family Jewels on Sunday. As I am sure with SE, there is a lot of editing prior to airing, so my question is, do you get a heads up when you are going to air on a show or video or do you find out like the rest of us & just watch?

Been a while since I have posted over here. I keep forgetting my password while I am at work and of course that is when I do most of my reading/posting. Isnt that what I'm getting paid for? Take care. Niki

Posted by: Merc957 [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 6, 2007 05:24 PM


that's very true...a win/win situation is possible with a truly humble being with integrity who has enough self confidence to feel comfortable with not always being in control there is no need for competition and a place is not relegated for a loser or a winner the word a lady married for 40 years used was ''compromise''she told me that was the secret to longevity in relationships...still that white guitar with the blood painted all over it in wendybird's pics the guy looked like nick from queens of the stone age...made me think about dead boys and the violence that enters some relationships a young 11 year old boy died of knife wounds in a town a few kms away this year trying to save his mother from his stepfather in a rage she survived wounded but he died...very very unfortunate when a child has to die protecting his mother like a young hero...which made me think of your mother glad you weren't with her that day... so actually knowing your bio reignites some of my past baggage:)and makes me sad...a lot of kids use drugs to alleviate intolerable early homelives...my kids are all fine drug free but they've seen a close friend of mine who experimented with everything shatter and fragment his mind into a kaleidoscope of madness...i walked through a psych ward to visit him once that was like one flew over the cuckoos nest that day...a lesson

i loved reading your answers, good solid advice.

Hey all! Been a while since I've posted here...but I actually have a question for Mr. Navarro. I was recently reading an old article from Blender (from about 3 years ago) where you said when you turned 40, you planned to have a red phone connected to Domino's Pizza so that you could get it whenever you wanted? Did that ever come to pass? lol...would you still do it?

Hey to everyone again! Good to post again :-)

Hey Dave, have you heard anything from Ty Taylor lately? All his websites have shut down. Like her disappeared.

Hi Dave, I work over at Penthouse and we get our monthly magazine of AVN. I was looking through it and I saw an ad with you on it that says "Fall 07" With Teravision.

mentoring kids. kids need to just relax and realize growing up takes time, accept themselves and others. say no to labels and pressures. just relax! on maintv front page was this chruch sign about prayng for Dave. that is so lovely to see, it made my day! see Dave you are loved! pray everyone, pray for everything and live life. the sign is very cool i know many churches who are like that; acepting and loving.

as a finanacial auditor, we do "charity stuff". some corp's do these mentor/re-entry programs for those in jail. it was very eye opening and emotional to do those sort of things. i reside in NC and travel for work around the south or left coast. this time upon my asking to help in this program i met many teens/20 somethings. we have such a hard working generation that have some mild emotional hang ups and got into some trouble. it blew my mind. my group and i on a low scale, dressed down, with some treats, walked into a NC/SC ladies jail we listened, talked about re entry into life on the outsdie and that sort of thing. the youth's biggest thing is this spin cycle newsmedia, i told them, "be informed but dont go nuts on that stuff, smile, everything will be ok".

Dave can you get Janis the lady model back on? i love her, classy, a mother :)and a real person.
charlotte and the surrounding areas are freaking too hot, stay well everyone, lindapolver

my lady friend deals/picks diamonds. when i lost my setting she replaced them with this pink/fire stong things, really cool. Dave, we just lose or give it away, LOL! so she travel all over, its quite something neat, shes got 2 body guards for her work. her and the family have this very cool place in charlotte anyways! she had to let go of one guard b/c she was attracted to him! it was too cute, a very fun story really, anyways, the guard was replaed with a new guy. the old gaurd wanted to know why did you let me go? eyes met, 2 people fell in love and so far, she is still with him. of course we were all thrilled. cute huh.

the thing with rings and diamonds is just the value we "put into them" so many think they are such a big deal but they are not. flying into LA, last year, exhausted, barely functioning, this no"ok" guy was pestering me for my number, etc. i just could not handle it. quietly, i just flashed my left and right hand, said married and that is that. so as my lady freind says "come on girls buy some rocks for yourself if you like them and enjoy them, its just a few grand".

poor men, i feel for those creatures, they try so hard for ladies. in my struggles, i have found men lose themselves in a lady, it really tears them up. ladies; dont accept bad behavior from yourself or them, accept, love, communicate, seek to be a equal partner, "no one up one down" relationship-Dave said something very helpful, dont be adversary's, get thru it together. we are just souls in these crazy bodies in this life.linpolver

There's an LA Ink? Miami Ink is interesting enough for my husband to watch and he doesn't like tattoos. I don't always like what Kat Von D does, but her artistry is amazing - I think Ami bullies her a bit though...actually he bullies everyone on the show.

Just flicked through Wendybirds photos, a few really outstanding ones (none of them were bad), especially the one featured above. A striking photo, no matter who was the subject! Well, maybe not so striking if it was Kermit, but I know what I mean. I've done my fair share of photography over the years and I would've been really pleased with that one!......SB

Haven't got more answers yet?

You say your house is pretty free of clutter.. is there anything that you consider your prized possesion or something that you never throw away?
I myself, have to get after hubbie to throw things:(
