    Post your shows....you have a website!



    The Ohio show was posted around here somewhere, a couple of months ago, with the venue TBA..............then.................no word.....


    Come on Dave, I know the internet isn't the most rock and roll thing....but shit, let us know where you are gonna be. Let the even the casual fan know that you are at least still alive.

    The coolest fanbase you have, has gotta go to your drummer's site to get any info....and even he isn't one hundred percent correct!


    Even my raggedy-ass band does better w/ letting MFs know whats up.
    it would be nice if he did.

    i wonder if he ever comes to UK!

      But it shows that he doesn't really care that much in regards to how well his shows are advertised. (Though he fucking well should!)

      He does care, I've never said he doesn't to the extent that I sure he would prefer to be making hits and selling out hockey halls. But the fact that he knows he's only going to attract diehard fans and some just looking for any kind of rock at their summer festival shows that he isn't under any illusions. He's probably not making that much touring other than his equivalent of beer money.
      If you read the book, Dave tells you that he used to do all the promo stuff, design T-shirts, posters, album covers, the Videos etc etc

      Now it seems he doesnt care any more about any of this shit.
      Computer savy or not, you would've thought Dave with all his creativity would embrace the internet and have a kick ass web site. But the truth is that his page sucks big Sammy balls.

      I dont know about his recent tours, but when I went to see him last year in London I had to buy a T-shirt outside from a bootlegger!?!!??

      As for his concerts, his show is 90% CVH songs. Why is that? Is he just playing it safe going for the bigger possible audience??

      I am sorry to say, as much as I love the man and his music it seems as if he has lost interest.

      Perhaps he is already thinking about retirement behind a radio microphone.

        rather than falling over yourself to be the self appointed "Devil's advocate", try posting something of substance.......
        Aahhh.... substance. Like some of the threads you've started.

        Some classics...

        "'Ya ever have a Beer?!?"
        "THe water smells like rotten eggs!!!"

        and my personal favorite...

        "Dump Mistresses & Army Ladies: What Color Panties You Got On?!?"

        That's substance for you!

          Okay fine... heres one thing I hate about Dave these days.

          His cancelling shows.

          He has just cancelled the second show I was planning on seeing him at this summer.

          First Summer Fest... now Silver Mountain.

          I understand he doesn't need the money...

          I understand hes just playing a few shows here and there...

          I understand Dave does what he wants to do...

          But this is really unfair!

              But what good does that do if he cancels every show I am planning on seeing?

              Sorry... I shouldn't compain I guess, its just that I was really counting on it.

              The first show I wanted to see that he cancelled I was disappointed, but I hadn't made major plans yet... this one I had all worked out!

              Now I know how Jacksmar feels.
