someone please find a way to give comfort to Jerome.

I just wish he would go into detail about his guitar playing.. like tunings, effects,stuff like that. all he ever says is that he doesn't think about it but obviously his sounds are very "crafted"

Love dave so much.
Cool answer to this:

Ugh yeah, or Derek

Dave is giving some really sweet answers to some of these questions

"and whats up with that hand signal you do in most pics?"

haha he skipped this one. intentionally....?

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:54 pm

I hope he answers that pizza topping one someone asked.

I've never called for a downvote brigade before, but if we could all act together to get those awful Deak comics away from the top, that would be cool.

2011 jams
"I fear those songs are lost in the past and might never return. That's ok though. Though if they did resurface it wouldn't be the first time i've gone back to old stuff so you never know. but i have no plans for them right now."

fuck fuck fuck

lol sorry

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:59 pm

whoa, didn't know the story behind Herk

"Worst was in belgium at a festival on the Feels tour. I got really drunk before we played and knocked down all my amps three songs in cause the on stage sound was terrible and i couldn't hear what was going on. I threw my PRS into the air and it cracked in half and i said goodnight. The sound guys were like "whos this guy, he's worse then axel rose". I kinda vowed never to do that kinda thing again.
one of the best things i did though was make up for that by playing a bunch of acoustic songs in the parking lot for some people after the show with josh."

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:59 pm

yea those deakin pics are pretty awful.
Bummed that I'll probably never hear Song for Jerome or Death Raga in the studio

But there's still some hope for Alvin Row live...right guys?

all that + Josh found out that his father passed away before the set so everything just fell apart

"Are you a fan of Mike Patton and has he influenced you at all?"
i see you el camino

"I've found that effecting the voice helps blend the music and voice together a bit better for some of the music i've been working on. There actually isn't a lot of flanger on etsh cause i used so much of it on down there. But for some reason i thought Flange sort of helped that swamp atmosphere so it was a creative decision for down there. Lately actually I've thought of doing a record with no vocal effects at all."

^sick av. What I See is his fave dp track, prbly mine too

Good news, Dearest!

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:27 pm

he thought about it and was like naa fuck that!

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:28 pm

lol. the rain one isn't weird to me, but campfire as floor seems weird... and Transition as SJ is also interesting... guess it is kind of a divide of sorts in their discog..maybe

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:29 pm

they performed campfire songs on the floor before recording it (and i think during?) so that one rings

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2014 9:30 pm
