This. The clip he posted today of him actually playing guitar (albeit at home) - skeletal is the word. Dave has always been ever green for me, in terms of appearance. He's always looked younger than his years; all of a sudden he looks old. And not just because he's next to someone half his age most of the time.
It’s kind of hard to glean the context here, but if this person is saying that the honorable thing for JA to do is come out and say he’s dealing with a relapse, I disagree. Clearly he doesn’t want to talk it about it publicly, which is reasonable. They are handling it delicately as they can.Artemis wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 7:11 pmOn a FB group I follow, someone posted about DN announcement that JA made a couple of days ago. The poster is a "Long Covid Ally" and the comments in response to JA are very negative. Obviously, they don't know the full story. Not that I know the full story either, but it's evident that there's more going on with DN than just long Covid.
Here's one:
Agreed. And as poorly as much of this whole fiasco has handled over the last 6 months, I am also prepared to give some benefit of the doubt - that perhaps, long covid was or is an ongoing issue. It started as that, but has since been exacerbated by (or caused) whatever he has going on. I can't imagine they came up with that in the first instance as a cover story and then dropped it the second time around....it'd make sense that they'd be as vague as they have been with the latest statement. You say long covid and maintain someone's dignity - there's no elegant way to point the finger at junk (if that's what it is).Noonesshocking wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 7:43 pmIt’s kind of hard to glean the context here, but if this person is saying that the honorable thing for JA to do is come out and say he’s dealing with a relapse, I disagree.

How did I miss the piece kcal9 did about Janes Addiction???

Impressive deduction, Sherlock. Zero sarcasm intended. Same hole, same role.Six7Six7 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 9:47 amThe one thing that tips me off most that he's using, is his art.
I don't know if anyone remember his 6767.com website back between 99 and 2000 but it was full of the same kind of art he is making now. Right down to creating his own weird font out of symbols. He did that back then, too.
Some of the black and white photos he is using is from that era, which is the time he documented in his book. When he locked himself in his house for 2 years and just did a shit ton of drugs.
He's putting that skull and crossbones with the needles all over everything again.
It's not just a drug relapse but he is literally just repeating his own druggy art now too.
I haven't listened to the art-related interview that was meant to have aired today (I think) - the fact that it was billed as a joint interview with DN and Billy Morrison was interesting. I don't know much about Billy's back story, but given that the whole Camp Freddy/Royal Machines thing was built around them being in recovery and clean, it raised a bit of an eyebrow. Hopefully a dose of support there.
I didn't watch the whole thing but he doesn't seem right. Watch his hands too.phenobarb_bambalam wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:51 amhttps://www.instagram.com/tv/CoLz1pLIPQ ... _copy_link
It's fucking uncomfortable to watch/listen to. One of the things surprised me about Dave when he started having a media presence is how sharp/smart he was.This is painful; he sounds like an old man, frail. It feels like it's hard work for him to even talk. The hands, yes - and the closeups of the arm. That thing looks smaller, but is still there.creep wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 4:07 amI didn't watch the whole thing but he doesn't seem right.

I know for a fact DN and BM were inseparable around the recovery community years ago. So, hopefully the process has begun.phenobarb_bambalam wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:37 amI haven't listened to the art-related interview that was meant to have aired today (I think) - the fact that it was billed as a joint interview with DN and Billy Morrison was interesting.

It's impossible to see that Stage 4 image without the mind filling in the ace of clubs.
Regardless, his recovery will take a while. Wouldn’t expect him to be road-ready anytime soon.SR wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 7:24 amI know for a fact DN and BM were inseparable around the recovery community years ago.
