--been lucky to have played with some of my personal heroes and everybody else along the way...almost died 5 times (plane crash, car crash, thrown from a roof, almost got shot, alcohol poisoning at 13 years old...)If you've ever been to a party at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and San Vicente on the Sunset Strip -- Joan Jett's old apt... (across from the Whiskey A-Go-Go), then you've met me...then I lived in Bing Crosby's old house across from Lemmy on a dead end street by the Rainbow and the Roxy...Now i live across from the Kodak Theatre with all the Hollywood freaks. Fun Fun. Anglophile. Love midgets.
"I love how talented Dave is; he plays so good it's unreal. For us, Dave has tied it all together. He puts in the little extraneous stuff in songs that was missing. He helped us to be able to play the songs closer to the way we produced them on the records. Hes just dripping with soul." -Johnny Rzeznik, Goo Goo Dolls
"Dude, You have the most amazing voice!" - Pink
"Ya did alright, kid." - Bo Diddley
