Superb Interview.... thank you 🙏🏾 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@danib5928]

He's someone on a bucket list to have a conversation with. I love how his brain works and feel there's a treasure trove of wisdom there. 😊

[@BriarthornAJ]

Took my daughter to see the tour in 2023 (that Dave wasn't on) and this tour. Glad Dave's back. There is a big difference. All 4 OGs are magical together.

[@ixxgxx]

until they get in a bitch fight. jesus perry. rehab time!

[@kidda74]

Well, just as well because I doubt very much you'll get the opportunity again sadly!

[@jordonleigh174]

Thank you for this interview, Kyle! I'm a huge fan of Dave's music and it's excellent to hear from him post-covid.

[@RoxiVazz]

Dave was the guitarist who made me want to be a guitarist.

[@benspeeds]

Me too ❤

[@robdevine69]

100%

[@TommieKelly]

Great to hear Dave after so long!

[@upnorthvlogs]

Prince was an amazing artist, truly cared about his fans when I lived in Southern Minnesota I run into him more than once he was as kind as can be

[@AshleyWeninger]

Good for you

[@douglasmarkwith]

Dave's got such a great sense of humor. 🙂

[@KyleMeredith]

He really does. That was a fun one.

[@anha888]

'I love everything you do' is me speaking! I love Dave!!! Thanks for the interview!

[@grunge6909]

Amazing to see after the incident!! They're still dangerous thats why theyre still great! Rock n roll!!!

[@mitchellcohen3361]

"A bunch of clowns doing backflips behind us". That rings a lot different now. I will mis Janes!! Great interview

[@DTNY3000]

I hate leafblowers too! This is a great interview/conversation. Dave sounds like he is "on" something, but he keeps it together. Nice to see and hear from him again!

[@liamhiggins2011]

I was about to say the same thing.

[@anthonyminetti1030]

Definitely

[@macanoodough]

Diamond Dave Navarro, last of the guitar gods. We got 10 year old on KZbin playing EVH with their eyes closed, but Dave is one of those guys who get more out of 2 chords. Though he is a master of the fretboard, he understands horses for courses.

[@ETShroom]

The main thing that attracted me to the new song (without knowing it was them) was the relentless firey guitar!

[@djmylesmatisse]

I think now that Jane's has imploded, Dave should do his 2nd solo album but make it an instrumental guitar and band album WITHOUT singing. Since he loves getting lost in playing guitar and doesn't like lead singing, make it just guitar, bass and drums. I say have Eric play bass and Stephen play drums. Basically Jane's without Perry. That would kick ass and be incredible on every level.

[@SimonDelaney1974]

Second this. Dude is a real talent.

[@ixxgxx]

jane's is nothing without perry and yes he needs to get his shit together. when's the album release

[@yiannisfaitakis]

@@ixxgxx I do agree that JA is not JA without Perry. But not that he is the one that single handedly, solely made and makes the band what it is. Unfortunately i don’t think we will be getting a new album. ‘True Love’ seems to be their swan song… 💔

[@stingerNWO]

Already tried that with Deconstruction and it went nowhere

[@TheLuckyCajun]

They should just play new music in a new band without Perry.

[@ricardocatano7999]

I hope when you come back, the lyrics, the music, gives us what we’ve been waiting for

[@BrianManning-wh6rl]

Ive ran into him twice in my life , while doing music in Los Angeles and i have never seen or heard him speak like this .

[@CassiusKonway]

Dave's so funny I love him, personal hero of mine

[@defshrimp]

Great interview. Dave is a good guy.

[@richfab8667]

Dave is the Man! Here we GO!

[@mjbla2752]

Dave Navarro album with different singers! Please. Dave is awesome, One Hot Minute is my favorite album!

[@DTNY3000]

Like Santana! 😄

[@Errcyco]

Dave is wired right. He's secure, he's talented.. he's kind. I feel bad how this played out. Concerts scare me to be honest but I'd pay to go see Dave just cause he's important to me. He's super important in general. Thanks for being respectful, he doesn't have to do this and pander to us.

[@kratoleaf7619]

no, he is wired. He sounds like a mixture of alcohol and some good coke.

[@ericneville7382]

​@@kratoleaf7619 Interesting comments from a bunch of people on this. I kinda wonder, not having heard many interviews with him, what's he sound like totally clean? Could he just sound like this, when he's comfortable talking with someone?

[@kratoleaf7619]

@@ericneville7382 his speech pattern speeds up and then down with some slurring. He is a very bright guy but he showed none of that in this interview. He is probably just depressed and embarrassed about what happened so I don't blame him for wanting to escape. Nothing like some some expensive wine and a few bangers. He actually looks very healthy, manicured and still very handsome so I don't think this is an everyday thing. He is a rock star for God's sake. Most people don't look like this guy at 56 yrs old. Mexicans age well with their dark features. His eyebrows and beard are very attractive. And I am a straight 55 yr old who has followed this band since the mid 80's. I went thru the 90s and the music was brilliant. Janes was the 80's band that created the 90's. Ministry, The Cure, Depeche Mode, NIN, Bauhaus, Sister's of Mercey and the Cult followed suit.

[@frxble22]

I missed not only him playing but also those casual conversations like on CFR, spread and DM.

[@robertalonzo8655]

Amazing guitar player!!!

[@tyweed]

"The past 20 years or so, I don't think we've been doing it the right way. I think we've been a little bit too showbiz." I'm so glad they have Eric back in the band because I think a lot of us cringed at what we saw when he wasn't there.

[@mikegross5350]

For sure! It was painful. I don't love the new songs either honestly, but at least they are together again...

[@TheArtistJackie]

Love Dave, they'll be back, time heels

[@LSUOdyssey]

Dave is my favorite dood

[@mattcarman855]

This is a great interview but making me bummed out knowing the most recent events with Jane's. Let's hope they work it out, clearly there's lots of love between them...

[@r-erin2go380]

Man Prince to this day will forever be my first favorite artist and one hell of a guitarist, played 27 plus instruments. His performance with petty, the best was Dhani Harrison in absolute awe watching Prince. I miss him he should be here 1💜0(+>

[@anthonymacaluso7283]

I really liked the 2012 great escape stage show it was darkly lit at times and the band was the forefront the stuff in the back didn’t distract but was still fun to glimpse at times. I also love the 4 guys just trying to kill it alone and without a stitch of cinema

[@garymobleyii2320]

He is really a funny dude

[@chrisfu81123]

I like the connect of love n rockets. 🚀

[@KENNA25]

Dave's got a buzz

[@samseth18]

That was my thought as well. Not good. Hope he's OK.

[@markp864]

Yeah I couldn’t watch more than a few minutes of the interview. It’s obvious that Dave wasn’t sober during it and that really bums me out. I love Dave and JA and I wish them health and happiness

[@KENNA25]

@@markp864 look i was sober for 5 years in aa, now im not, but he's sounds relapseing, right, ibe be great, he's rich and his guitar playing is amazing and I think he on tour, all rules straight out the window as long a u handle it?? $$$ the tour

[@ryann.9636]

I love Strays!!! Cheney is a bad ass.

[@dcraexon]

@@markp864yeah right he needs an intervention because you suck

[@ViAndareKV]

NO PHONES!!!! ... I totally relate. . Anyway the best album from me is DECONSTRUCTION!!!! Like that guy. on point.

[@anthonymacaluso7283]

Need more stage divers and crowd surfers that will get their heads of of the crack that is smartphones

[@lightunseen896]

Deconstruction is insane! Painful & beautiful...!

[@giampierogirolamo7134]

great guy dave

[@jeradswartz5609]

Volune is working now. Dave is my favorite seems like a good dude

[@Zen-yt8jj]

Nice one ❤ would love to hear you do one with Billy Corgan

[@KyleMeredith]

It’s been a few years, but I’ve done 2 with him that you can find if you search my page. Both were fun talks but we’re definitely do for another.

[@Zen-yt8jj]

[@RichardMcLaren]

"This is nothing against the leaf blowing community"..........Fuckin' brilliant line, and very Dave Navarro

[@ThinkReal]

Appears Dave's a bit lit in this interview... RnR!!!

[@deetestlogins5269]

I'd love to see a conversation between Dave Grohl and Dave Navarro, especially his take on the phone ppl.

[@curanderoverde]

Dave is totally in the tao

[@Zen-yt8jj]

Dave seems to be high

[@earthhuman5448]

Well yeah. What else does he have to do?

[@anthonymacaluso7283]

He’s c always been this goofy in interviews and that sardonic Wit it there. From the old interviews When Dave’s high he lacks any sarcasm and is just sullen

[@BrianSalazar-kn5ng]

It seems like it

[@slimzimm1031]

Once again, one of my fav somewhat old school rockers is super cool, life wisdom, and we both like WWII porn. RESPECT

[@BrianManning-wh6rl]

Daves guitar parts from 1st three albums are so good . Ever notice dave rarely uses his left hand pinky ? Self taught technique.

[@Susan-iw1xq]

Right tf on with what Navarro says about his tastes in viewing: documentaries etc. rather than fucked up bullshit movies that most of the idiots in our society view as art. I’m with you Dave! 🤘🏼

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Dave is af fking legend who doesn't get nearly half the respect he deserves.

[@nikyt36]

❤Dave

[@1974greymalkin]

Please interview Perry.

[@garymobleyii2320]

Strays is VERY underrated

[@rossginn1171]

Can’t these artists just be ,,,,,,,,,,”not weird”? Geeeeesh

[@jeradswartz5609]

Dave would love a pair of those shades. Where did you buy those at?

[@jmode242]

Thank God they got rid of the background dancers, perry's wife etty seemed to always need to be part of the show, chanys a great musician but Eric brings that primal fucking feel that matches Perkins drumming style. Dave's a heavy metal david Gilmour. Perry's like know one else

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

Hate outside noises I like it quiet or just nature sounds

[@BryTunesMusic]

Dave is so sharp

[@ryann.9636]

Love Dave and Jane’s!! I wish Perry was sounding better, for everyone’s sake!

[@MrOctober44]

He never had much of a voice. Now he's well into his sixties. Happens to everyone.

[@LawrenceAugust_]

@@MrOctober44 You're nuts. His voice was once incredible. Elite, in fact.

[@chrisfu81123]

But that interesting because I was also thinking about sound.

[@Gkitty1974]

I think this is a great interview. I love Dave even though we got into it one day on the phone ha ha. If he walked up to me vip and played the guitar man i would dance fuck the phone!

[@SPINUNDRUM]

You can't groom over turmoil!

[@LSUOdyssey]

What Dave did in the intro usually throws an interviewer off so badly, it's hilarious and Kyle kinda did. He was laughing a bit nervously as this music nerdgod, but Dave is just trolling

[@michaelrdangelo]

Can I ask what day this interview was recorded?

[@peterhopqk]

No!

[@TheArtistJackie]

So sad Perry couldn't keep it together, ruined an awesome thing

[@chrisfu81123]

Dude he was on loveline. He can talk.

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Is it just me or does this guy sound like he’s super HIGH?

[@jeradswartz5609]

There's no volume in this video

[@MrOctober44]

If you tap on the volume button, that should make the sound louder.

[@kidda74]

I totally get the phone thing, I see parents watching their kids shows through their phones only to never watch it again. They miss the whole experience, pisses me off! I get it you want the keepsake, but in reality that's all it will ever be a video of something you fucking missed! 🤷‍♀

[@DTNY3000]

Putting it out there: Now that Jane's has gone kaput, I'd LOVE to see Dave touring with Steely Dan in lieu of Walter Becker (RIP).

[@dcore64]

It all comes down to one thing... leaf blowers SUCK! Unless it's a leaf blower solo, which, there should never be more than one of.

[@jfdblues]

Dave is drunk😂

[@kratoleaf7619]

along with some good coke

[@chrisfu81123]

That’s so funny

[@drummer78]

WW II Europe on the Eastern Front is a whole other focus of study. Then there is the Burma campaign..not quite the Pacific Campaign…WW II has unlimited areas of interest.

[@arlenefox558]

lol, i can see now, that the bands 'oh well lets have a train wreck' vs perry's lead led to this breakup. i am sorry dave, please don't stop playing and stay inspired by anything that makes your soul happy.

[@kt2816]

Got that hat free with a bowl of soup

[@chrisfu81123]

I think I kinda get what he means. By consequence of sound. 😂

[@BrianManning-wh6rl]

This guy couldn't hang on to balls any tighter .... the interview guy.

[@chrisfu81123]

I think he’s talking about me maybe 😂

[@KENNA25]

This is why the Tour stopped they where all wasted 😅😅

[@chrisfu81123]

My darkest secret? probably true… 😅😢😂

Sound is something but whose hot

[@tjwalkup7155]

Dave does seem high. Hope he is staying away from H

[@kratoleaf7619]

this is an alcohol stimulant mix...trust me I know.

[@AmericaReal3onXOFFICIAL]

Daves wasted

[@DONNICOMUSIC]

and they have most likely broken up once again lol

[@chrisharding5447]

You dont need clowns doung backflips when dave navarro is the total cliche of what nikki sixx is . They just need a red nose.

[@LawrenceAugust_]

He seems drunk. This interview's fucked.

[@Daneiladams555]

Daves loaded here, wonder what it is, sounds like booze

[@kratoleaf7619]

Dave is high AF. Slightly slurring his words and prob some kind of stimulant.

[@georgehorner1578]

While a good player Navarro is not even close to being one of the greatest. And Quija boards are tinker toys compared to what you're into ha Dave? Is it me or does he seem impaired just a little?

[@wasteoftimehere]

Ugh

[@shalomchain6272]

if perry was singing, i dont understand why navarro could not lower the volume? perry was in front and was getting all the heat from ppl not being able to hear him, and navarro just ignored him, time to leave toxic masculinity aside w/big egos: navarro, if it wasnt for perry: no one would of know who navarro is/was? if your dog snapped at you once: would u get rid of it?? NO right? keep going n make music, enough of the drama rama NAVARRO, ( PERRY WAS IN HE'S RIGHT TO B HEARD/. BUT U FAILED TO LISTEN TO HIM, SO HE HAD IT.,

[@yiannisfaitakis]

If my dog shoved me, then proceeded to walk me back screaming to my face, bully me and then punched me, HELL YES I would get rid of it… Also, do you really believe Etty’s narattive? (Asking in a very friendly tone)

[@shalomchain6272]

on another note: if it wasn't for perry, there w/never be a JA dudes/duddettes)

[@yiannisfaitakis]

@@shalomchain6272 same goes if it wasn’t for Dave, Perk and Eric.

[@lightunseen896]

That stuff is in the soundguy's hands: Volumes, mix etc- has nothing to do w/the band. Besides, Perry is experienced enough to know (even i am, & that's nowhere close to him) that stage sound is janky a lot of the time. If he was really having those issues, he could communicate it one way or the other to the sound guy. I'm thinking he's just not himself these days, honestly. & It saddens me, but i think if he's genuine with himself- objective i guess- he can come out of this & reach out to the dudes properly for renewal.

[@yiannisfaitakis]

@@lightunseen896 anyone that has been in a band and played gigs even for a very short time knows the ‘sound and volume issues’ narrative is complete and utter BS. Their problems have always been interpersonal and Farrell is just impossible to work with apparently.

[@davidwade3950]

I think Allison from the Kills and Dead Weather would do great fronting the band , who were performing well.

[@dennisfloyd8514]

Never thought of that! I love Allison’s vocals.
