Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you have a wonderful day, family plans sound warm. Funny how dsyfunction gets re-labelled when tolerated with love and the rosy glow that growing older brings. We have that here too (every holiday) lol even if we don't have TG! And I remember the post last year re the mass text outbreak, your text reply this time really made me laugh. Hope you got some decent apologies!
Love to all.

Errrr...something weird happening with comments - will this appear?

I typed a comment and then got thrown out of typekey when I tried to post it, hence the test..

Just wanted to say...

I don't get mass texts because nobody cares about me but I'm a crabby old bitch so I'm not that bothered!!

Lucky you with embracing your family dysfunction! My family all got stressed out and drunk on sherry, then gave each other death looks over the turkey at family get-togethers. As a kid I just wanted to hide or run away - perhaps why I'm a crabby old bitch.

I won't be celebrating over in Blighty, but all you guys have a great time xxx...............SB

PS. I never tried to win any posters or such because I assumed anyone overseas wouldn't be eligible. Am I wrong?

Hey Dave,
Happy Thanksgiving! For a question for Dan, I'm sure a lot of people would like to know, what does Dave's pedal board consist of?

Already sent you a mass comment on MySpace but I'll say it again, Happy Thanksgiving Dave.

I always say all families are dysfunctional; it wouldn't be family if it wasn't... love it and embrace it. My family is HUGE; my great-grandparents had 13 kids, and it seems like having a bunch of kids runs in my family to so it's ALWAYS something else haha. It's cool though because we're all "young adults" now and we tend to get into a fun bit of trouble.

Example, one of my cousins from Baltimore always has to talk shit... she thinks she's sooo hood because where she's from and she talks nothing but pure shit but me being the nice one... I decided to deal with it by picking her up. By the end of the night though, all of my cousins were fed up with her so we threw her out of the car in front of the wrong hotel that we thought she was staying at... she was like "this isn't even my hotel," and we told her it was now and we left. It was even more funny because she left her phone in the car and we decided to run up her minutes and everything but man didn't we get into some shit....... oh well, good times :p.

Love having a dysfunctional family at times...

Much Love and Respect,
-Kirsten

Hi Dave!
i have not commented for such a long time...but i caught the first dark matter and the music selection was great.
i just realized you will be in Portland Dec 3! i would have travelled to come see you with J had i known earlier and danced and danced but i scheduled a trip to Europe at that time. Hope you have a fantastic night there and Happy Thanksgiving today!

Hey Dave,
I tried calling Dark Matter today from the UK to see if i could win one of the posters (just before i went college missed the bus an a bit of english lit. because of it) but i'd always get a message saying "say your name blahblahblah" and i did everything it said and it would just go back to the start again, which was so annoying .i've worked up a huge phone bill and i dunno what you can do but it was really annoying and i know Jane's won't be coming to England any time soon and your my favorite band (although hopefully one day i'll be able to see you live) it was just really annoying kept calling when it decided to do that...

P.S Happy Thanksgiving

I would have loved one of those posters but but by rights they belong to true followers of your band! I wil never forget you doing a blog about thanksgiving and you told this "beautifully touching" story about how one thanksgiving you lied and nicked off halfway through to get some heroin, and how your dad now gave thanks each thanksgiving with a tender smile that you did not do that anymore! I know it is touching but also amusing in a way. I could see this scene in some black comedy film.

Dave, you dont have thanks for your fans? are you kidding me!!!? well, perhaps you made a small mistake, but unfortuantely for you, the only way you can make it up to us is to bring Janes to the upper east coast...there we will accept you apology! :]

Happy thanksgiving dude! Many are greatful for the radness of DN and I'll throw my hat in that ring... If I had a hat... Or a turkey head, even. lol :)

This new 6767 gear trip with Dan sounds cool. Here's some from me to choose from. ~

Does DN's rig consist of two Marshall JCM 900's for the purpose of running one for gain/distortion sounds and another for clean tones?

If so is this due to the Marshall JCM 900 having only one set of tone controls which is shared by both channels, thus using two seperate heads allows for varied settings to be attained for gain and clean tones?

What system do you use to toggle between the heads?

What tube compliment is employed in these amps and do you use different tubes for each, are they biased differently?

In Dave's set-up, are the tubes biased hot, cold or right down the middle?

Can you compare some advantages and disadvantages that exist between a self contained head or combo amp, such as Dave's amps, versus a seperate pre and power amp set-up?

Dan, how does your personal rig compare with that of Dave?

What is up with that white Ibanez Dave played (in the pic that accompanies the El Cid post)? I thought I saw a PRS tremolo on that instrument, can you tell us about that Guitar?

I think I'll just stop now... Hahaha!

xo

Hmm...shove it down our throats? Am I the only one here having nasty thoughts? HaHa

I hope everyone is having a great day, much love to all...xoxoxo

Happy thanksgiving to all.
enjoy your day and your families, It is great to see this holiday for you being so nice, its the one time you can reflect and stop and smell the roses. Life is so fast now that sometimes you forget about taking a moment and just enjoying it for what it is.
take care and have a great day.
Love and stuff S..xx

HI all! We just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all. We are thankful for the wonderful people that surround me in my life. We are thankful that we have this wonderful blog that we can share thoughts with people whom live much different lives, but all come together for our common love, DN. I am never disappointed in my 6767 family. No matter the different opinions that we may have we still have that common ground. On any day I can come to 67 and Laugh my ass off or get pissed or even say OMG she didn’t go there. So thank you 67 Family I love you all very much thanks for making our lives just a bit more exciting! God bless all!
Dave, If there wasn’t dysfunction in our family I wouldn’t feel normal, whatever normal is.
Well I got a whole 3 hours sleep after hearing Dark Matter before I started cooking. So I am full and beat. So time for more turkey and then the turkey coma! Love ya!

XOXOXO

And Yoli (who slept while I cooked lol)

Hi Dave, happy Thanksgiving dude!

Hey great idea to get Dan to answer some gear questions -- I know you hate to do it, but it's been a couple years and us gear junkies need to stay up to date ;-)

Spencer covers a lot of ground...but in relation to your amp setup, I notice sometimes you have one of the 4x12's pointed backwards -- what's the point of that? Also are you still using the JCM 900's sometimes I have squinted really hard at my computer screen and they look like JCM 2000's.

i was going to ask YOU what thanksgiving day is all about we don't have it here in australia and it seems to be quite a set date in the U.S...checked my lil diary for '09 and it's the 26th of nov.next year i thought ok happens annually a month before xmas to get you all in the mood i spose...sorts out the dysfunctions a month early so xams doesn't get off the richter ha do not fret every family is dysfunctional the ones that do not appear to be are pretenders...i saw lyn spears on tv two nights ago saying everything is ok with britney now i thought see even if you shave your head get married for 24 hours in vegas then divorce get photographed wearing no underwear put on a bit of weight then lose it make songs about your womanising father of your kids in the end everything works out fine:)dysfunction may be god's way of proving he's the only omniscient one around who is perfect thanksgive 4 that i wouldn't want you to get performance anxiety...over cables or mass texting or bedroom technique ha you and your 6-7 minutes and it's all over you've kept me smiling...stamina is your middle name dave...it might be michael but he is an angel of great fortitude and strength don't forget that...enjoy your repast honey...xo

Happy Thanksgiving Dave! I don't know how your handling the carb/sugar overload that comes with this day but right now I feel like I'm going to explode!
My family actually puts the "fun" back in dysFUNction. Just add alcohol.....

Happy Thanksgiving, Dave! Even though I'm a day late. I'm definitely more than feeling the effects of over eating, but I'd only feel bad about it if it didn't taste so damn good. Enjoy your weekend!!

-Kristen

This blog is like a dysfunctional family. I hate coming here sometimes, but I still come. And I am the attention seeking socially retarded child who everyone wants to lock in the bathroom by mistake..for ever! They tried that actually...my family...but I got out and complained to social services. But as they say, there is a thin line between hate... and love. Me, I don't agree. I say there is a thin line between hate and hiring a hitman. But hey.. if I got hit by a hitman at least I'd be getting some attention! And can you imagine the JOY of bragging about that in heaven? "how did you die?" "Oh well, I had congestive heart failure and died on my desk at work. You?" "Well.. I got garrotted then cemented by a hitman!" I say Heaven, but obviously if Dave Navarro goes to hell, I would jump straight down down there, so I could continue to stalk him...into eternity. Only Jking!!! Haa.

Hola DN- I am sure the mass texts are pretty annoying. Since I don't text......I don't have to worry:)

At least you know us crazy fans are always here and not just on certain holidays huh?

Hope you had fun with the families and ate lots o potatoes!

I had a super time listening to your show! I wish I had every THU off so I could stay up late and not have to worry about working in the early AM. I also had a funny time with the Asylum inmates -

Thanx again- con much amore, Db
