they never talked to each other since ten fucking years.

Untrue.

Dave's new band "The Panic Channel' is due to release their debut album this summer while Dave himself will be on board again this summer for a new season of "Rockstar" on CBS. ?Dave's actually become a co execultive producer for the show, lots of rumors floating about what group the show will be auditioning singers for, the hottest being Camp Freddy..

I won't say I hope it's true. but if it is, it's fucking awesome in a way! lol.
that way being that we get to hear Axl & Slash together again, and that VR will still move on with a flat out amazing lead guitarplayer.
but I still hope Slash will continue with VR.

Look, if Slash was back together with Axl, so would the rest of the old lineup. I don't know why you guys think there is going to be a reunion soon.

Damn, hope Guns will tour very soon, just to finally put an end to this reunion nonsense.

I don't know where this rumour started before it got picked up by the site mentioned above, but it's nonsense as far as I know. VR are not currently recording a new album and everyone in the band is basically doing their own thing right now. There are no plans for any of the band members to join other bands. There are no plans for Slash to play with Axl. There are no plans for Dave Navarro to join VR. There are, however, a few band members who are working on solo albums to release them during some off time from VR. Seeing as the band is not planning to release an album before the fall, it seems like there's plenty of time for everyone in the band to do some extracurricular activities for the next two to three months.

Sounds like the next album isn't their priority since there not working on the album at the moment.


They have too much solo stuff going on, Scott's solo album, movie, book, Camp Freddy. Matt's with Camp Freddy and he's working on a solo album, god knows what Slash is doing but he's always working on something with someone.

Dave went from a rock star to a celebrity flake.

I think he is totally overrated and his image is unfixable after all the gay shit he has done.

Dave is exactly what Axl tried to stop Slash from becoming.

I dunno, I don't think any less of Dave Navarro or Slash, and neither do most of the general public.

Slash is still held in pretty high regard despite many of musical short-comings. He's still THE rock guitar hero to most people.

If Slash rejoined the band, Guns would be unstoppable once again.  But that's unlikely to happen and a lot of people will refuse to give Axl the credit he deserves if this album ever comes out.  Most people don't recognize Axl's latest rendition as Guns N' Roses, not without Slash.

I am just happy that Navarro got his shit together & uses his time productively nowadays. When I was younger I used to rip on people for selling out or whatever, but now I know better. Who wouldn't want to be married to Carmen Elektra, spend your days doing extremely high paying TV spots & your nights playing starstudded gigs at famous LA clubs. Trust me, Dave Navarro has THE life & is a bigger rock star than ever.

Well said.?

He's also becoming quite the broadcast mogul.? Beyond his producing interests on "Rockstar"
his "Spread Radio Live" project is borderline revolutionary.

It sure would suck to be that "overrated" and have this kind of "unfixable" image. ::)

No worries D, he won't be joining VR anytime soon...

Whom would you say Navaro has influenced in "the modern rock era"? I don't see a lot of JA's handiwork in the 90s-00s. I always thought JA's brand of art-rock was pretty unique. Also, I would agree that his priority seems to be being a celebrity as opposed to being a musician. He hasn't done anything really great since RDLH, and that came out 16 years ago, although I did like that album he did with RHCP.

Navarro really is a puh c, but he is okay.  He is friends with some cool guys, but watching that focking show and seeing him get pissed cause his luggage didn't match was so gae.  Anyway, I wonder if Slash has felt somewhat depressed.  Like when Jennifer Anniston found out Brad got Angelina pregnant.  Its like Axl moved on and is now having Chinese Democracy.  I just hope Slash doesn't take this hard.  I know he is really pulling for Axl and is just pissed about the way guns ended.  maybe he feels empty always wondering what could have been in GNR.  If I was him, I still would be taking this hard.  That was a rocky relationship they all had.

Slash left GN'R 10 years ago and I don't think he's got any animosity about it. I doubt he is gonna take the release of CD to heart at all. He moved on from that long ago.

I think dave and slash are a lot alikeas influental players and personalities.. I don't think you have to stay inside the 'box" so to speak to still be the same guy who is loved and respected.. You might get those fat fucking that's not metal douche bags like iann robinson not liking you but who gives a fuck

I highly doubt that slash is pissed that Axl is moving on, Slash has had a lot of side projects and what not, Duff and Slash are suing Axl at the moment in which they definatley have't spoken in ten years!!! i heard though Axl was talking to Izzy but theres no way Slash is going back, i wouldn't be happy at all, i think he is better off in VR as they fucking rule!!!! I've nothing against Dave Navarro i think he's a cool player but i would lose interest in VR if Slash left and Dave took over It wouldn't be the same! people can be full of shit though? ??? :no:

Post by: Smoking Guns on February 28, 2006, 03:13:59 PM
Dave Navarro is nowhere near the level of Slash and certainly not Zakk Wylde.  Those two guys are the biggest two from that era.  Navarro is way down that list.  Don't forget about Dimebag too.  Dave is good, but not great.

He played with Christina Aguilera, he was on a fucking INXS reality show.

Plus he wasnt good enough to be in RHCP's.

If he is a modern guitar icon pioneer then I guess we have him to blame for all the shitty fuckin guitaring that is out today.

I think Dave is more of a celebrity now than a serious musician.

He may have been a guitar icon at one time but he isnt really that now.

Fair enough. I'm not gay or anything, but he is a real good looking guy, like Jonny Depp and James Dean rolled into one. If he looked like the guitar player from Crowbar, there wouldn't be such a fuss over him.

would you stop with that nonsense about RHCP?
Dave quit the band cos he was back on drugs.
and for your information, Dave is technically better than any other guitarplayer that has set his foot within the RHCP walls (apart from Buckethead, lol). that however doesn't mean he sounded better in the band and that his style fit like Frusciante and Slovak, but I think he did a damn great job, the Peppers were looking for a new sound at the time, and Dave brought it!

and to you other people, I think his solo album is awesome. I play it all the time.

I can't see how he's a celebrity more than a musician, he talks about all the work he puts in with TPC on the radioshow, and he's been working pretty damn hard on their debut album. he also works on and plays with Camp Freddy a lot.
I think he gets a lot of media cos he's married to Carmen, if he wasn't, I doubt many people would be calling him a  media whore.

I LOVE that album One Hot Minute, and I saw Dave in concert with RHCP in 1996 and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been too. John Frusciante is terrible live, he fucks up all his solos, and I couldn't say the same about Dave.

I don't agree about John.  he's more of a Slash type of player, either hit or miss live. they both play with an incredible feel and improvise a lot, and I always enjoy both live.

now Dave rarely misses live as he's got a cleaner style, even his improvisation seems to always be well executed. but there is a big difference in styles here.. and yeah, OHM is an awesome album!

Dude please never put Dave navarro even in the same sentence with Prince.

Prince is not only a master of guitar soloing but he is a master of Funk,jazz,rock,pop and just about any other style u can name.

Prince is probably one of the 10 best guitarists ever.

I agree with the last two posts. Also, he isn't the best songwriter in the world either. The bass player in JA wrote most or a lot of the songs. And his solo album didn't light the world on fire either.

Fianally, someone other then D and I feels that Navarro is nothing more then a muscian for Hire.? Pretty sad.? Did you guys ever watch the show with him and Carmen?? This guy is awful.? As far as a player goes, I would take Prince of him.? Prince can really jam.


Dude please never put Dave navarro even in the same sentence with Prince.

Prince is not only a master of guitar soloing but he is a master of Funk,jazz,rock,pop and just about any other style u can name.

Prince is probably one of the 10 best guitarists ever.


He is a focking bad ass.  I still put Slash over him, but here is him from SNL not long ago.  It is incredible!

Prince is my fav artist of all time *well he is sorta tied with GNR and Bon JOvi.


comparing Prince to Dave Navarro is like comparing Jimi Hendrix(Prince)to the dude in Good charlotte.


I have that SNL taped, Prince is flawless at not just rock but every style.

I am just happy that Navarro got his shit together & uses his time productively nowadays. When I was younger I used to rip on people for selling out or whatever, but now I know better. Who wouldn't want to be married to Carmen Elektra, spend your days doing extremely high paying TV spots & your nights playing starstudded gigs at famous LA clubs. Trust me, Dave Navarro has THE life & is a bigger rock star than ever.

Well said.

He's also becoming quite the broadcast mogul. Beyond his producing interests on "Rockstar"
his "Spread Radio Live" project is borderline revolutionary.

It sure would suck to be that "overrated" and have this kind of "unfixable" image. ::)

No worries D, he won't be joining VR anytime soon...




He played with Christina Aguilera, he was on a fucking INXS reality show.

Plus he wasnt good enough to be in RHCP's.

If he is a modern guitar icon pioneer then I guess we have him to blame for all the shitty fuckin guitaring that is out today.

I think Dave is more of a celebrity now than a serious musician.

He may have been a guitar icon at one time but he isnt really that now.

would you stop with that nonsense about RHCP?
Dave quit the band cos he was back on drugs.
and for your information, Dave is technically better than any other guitarplayer that has set his foot within the RHCP walls (apart from Buckethead, lol). that however doesn't mean he sounded better in the band and that his style fit like Frusciante and Slovak, but I think he did a damn great job, the Peppers were looking for a new sound at the time, and Dave brought it!

and to you other people, I think his solo album is awesome. I play it all the time.

I can't see how he's a celebrity more than a musician, he talks about all the work he puts in with TPC on the radioshow, and he's been working pretty damn hard on their debut album. he also works on and plays with Camp Freddy a lot.
I think he gets a lot of media cos he's married to Carmen, if he wasn't, I doubt many people would be calling him a media whore.


Dude Im starting to really think u are on drugs

Dave better than John Frusciante????????

I cant even respond to such a propsterous statement like that.

fuck, are you on to me!? :nervous:

well, what I mean is Dave is better than John the same way Buckethead is better than Slash...technically...dude. ;D

Edit: DAMN! Im on to something here! Chinese Democracy will be GN'Rs One Hot Minute!! :hihi:

I was bout to say.

I took the "technically" as u know technically he is better as in HE IS BETTER.

Ive been a little harsh on Dave, he doesnt suck but I hate when guys who could've been guitar and musical legends sell themselves out to be on cheesy reality TV shows.

He is more of a celebrity than a rock hero and that pisses me off.

He knows that a segment of the fans feel that way, and he's cool with it.? Opinions vary.

He's also said he's not going to hold himself back on things he wants to do under the guise of "artistic integrity".? He going to what the fuck he wants to do without regret, true artistic freedom.

He's very proud of the fact he played a part in those kids getting noticed by the industry, there's something to be said for giving back to the musical community after it's given him so much.

"segment of the fans"? I'd be hard pressed to find any JA fans that think him hosting an INXS TV show is cool.

"He going to what the fuck he wants to do without regret, true artistic freedom."

Is that double-talk for whoring himself.

I'm a JA fan and had zero problem with it.

You just don't/won't get it, which is fine.

Check out his Spread Radio Live, see how he's promoting unsigned/Indie artists.

You might change your tune

Yes, that's cool and all, but the whole INXS thing isn't. Just my opinion.

Isnt that kind of the problem with music today though?

no one has that artistic integrity anymore, its all about being seen now and not heard. Its all about "The Profile" instead of true music.
