I'd personally have no desire to see a documentary about Dave that focuses on this sort of thing. I like the guy for what he does (or maybe used to do) as a musician, not as a multi-media celebrity or freakish attention whore. I get that Dave has life long issues and fucked up "hobbies" that in some cases, play some part in dealing with his past. That's his thing and if that's what floats his boat, so be it. I also get that by definition, an exhibitionist is just an attention whore. But when he makes it a point to publicize his weirdness as if that's part of his personal self-therapy, it comes off as exploitive and pretentious. I just shake my head and laugh.Warped wrote:I don't see it as exploiting her memory, what about the documentary? If it will ever see the light of day would you see it like that too? I believe it's something he needs to do and if it's good for him i am good with it too. No one will ever know what is going on in his mind regarding his mom.

I'm sick of the dude and yet I still come here for you folks. I just wish he would play music and shut the fuck up.Pandemonium wrote:(Just so we can focus on our guy Dave, here's his own thread)

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
It would be interesting if he at least played music. And by that I mean, composed, recorded and performed it more than once a decade. His personal history is tragic and compelling to outsiders, but that's not the reason he's famous. He has every right to his exorcisms, public or private. But I suspect at this point, Dave is more concerned with celebrity than artistic exploration. Then again, who knows. Maybe he's inclined to be more private with his music and more public with other forms of expression. Pursuing artistic excellence may come with tradeoffs and regrets. I'd expect they are less than non-pursuit.
Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
he should get to work on those TWO solo albums instead of fuckin around like that

Yeah, too much thinking hurts brains. Even if its about DN.Warped wrote:

I dont think a single member of Janes Addiction (past, present, or collectively) is capable of making music that will ever "wow" again.
Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
Maybe he'll announce next week that they are done, the same way Trent surprised everyone.Matz wrote:he should get to work on those TWO solo albums instead of fuckin around like that
Oh, wait, I forgot... Trent is a musician first and a celebrity... well... not even 2nd. Maybe 8th?
Point being, Dave will release new music when Perry gives him permission.

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
In hindsight, he really seemed to dial the celebrity thing down in 08-10. He toned down his stage presence and had some neat postings on JA.com right before the ninja tour that were totally about recording and touring, rather than something about directing a meat hook suspension porn documentary. It's interesting how having the original lineup together really tempered those aspects.

He pulled away from the spotlight because he was hooked on Oxycontin.

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
That was better than anything Dave has put out in the past 4 years. Also the quote of the thread. I'm tired of this shit. Once again Dave..........shut up and back it up. Maybe join a new band for a while? Or put out solo shit? I know that's a joke. So please stop with the sound pollution.Essence_Smith wrote:S&M wrote:I love Dave but the older I get...I ain't got time for that....My own life has had more twist and turns than his...drug addiction?...Please that's some tired ass old shit?.....every smart minded fella been there.....just play sum good riffs...make room for Perry'z splash and spin our fucking heads the fuck out....LSD is getting hard to score....be my dose...and STFU.....<3 ya....kiss kiss ....number nine...number nine....number nine... ;)

I wish he spent half as much time recording music as he does putting needles in his skin.

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
In a few of the later Dark Matter podcasts, he's been saying that he hardly has time for things he wants to do (like the rest of us I guess) so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that recording and releasing music isn't his top priority these days...
Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
pretty soon he has to get together with jane's to practice all of the new songs they will play on the tour coming up.....oh wait..

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
give up on Dave as a musician, it's over, his focus is having as much sex as humanly possible it seems....if I were him I might be doing the exact same thing, can't rule that out at all he has an impressive body of work already, nothing left to prove

Yeah, it must suck having ONLY 24 free hours per day where you don't have to work.nausearockpig wrote:In a few of the later Dark Matter podcasts, he's been saying that he hardly has time for things he wants to do
a few days ago he complained on twitter that iTunes season pass wasn't downloading for him. Maybe if he spent less time watching TV in bed he could get a few more things done, such as writing music, composing music, recording music, and playing music.
Everyone in Pearl Jam has at least 2-3 side projects, Maynard is working on albums for 3 different bands, Henry Rollins puts out 3 CDs and 4 books a year in between his world travel, Mike Patton releases 6 albums a year, but Dave Navarro can't seem to find any free time?

Re: That Crazy Dave Navarro!
90% of Dave's twitter looks like this:
"It was great seeing you too!! XO @SkankoidMcPornstarXxX It was so great seeing @DaveNavarro6767 last night!"
"I hope so too!!! XO @HalfShavedHeadFattyBurlesqueTattooBroad Ran into @DaveNavarro6767 last night! Hope that happens more often!"
"You want my dick. XO @GraceAndManners Check out this picture of Dave being fucking weird! www.piclink.edu/34dhGtoX"
