DIABLO IN THE HOUSE

CIRCUS DIABLO: Day One Rehearsals

Please note that this is a large file size. A high speed connection is preferred.









Here you go. A little look into our week of lockout rehearsals that started yesterday. Duffy is flying back from The Cult european dates and will be joining us at the weekend. So its just the four of us getting the basics tight and sounding together. I'll be posting a few V-Blogs from the rehearsal room over the next week, just letting you in on the process and giving you a little taste of the music. Its very exciting and the band sounds really good. Cannot WAIT to get out there. Enjoy the V-Blog and I'll be back very soon.

Oh yeah - and with reference to the question asked about Tommy and Jason and the whole Supernova thing - I gotta tell you that in every band, there are tensions, conflicts and then resolution. THAT is what makes great bands great!! I love that they are getting into it because it means they are passionate and believe in what they are doing. High RPM, low IQ does NOT describe either Tommy or Jason ..... they are world class professional musicians who have sold millions of records, and are in the unenviable process of putting something new together. Its called Excitement. Anticipation. Belief. Good luck to em - I'll be tuning in!!!.

Peace out people

Billy

Hi Billy,
Yes i did travel all the way from the UK to see Camp Freddy! i did actually speak to Matt Sorum before the gig for a couple of minutes, and did try to speak to you just after but security had rushed you out the side door before i could say hello! amazing gig!! you should bring the guys to the uk for a show or 3!
Can't wait for the Circus Diablo record, and UK Gigs?

hi billy,
we stayed at the hard rock hotel while we were in LV and even saw Paris Hilton at the pool!! ever thought of doing a Camp Freddy "Live album" with all the special guests on it? it would be a legal nightmare but what a record it would be!!!

billy,
perhaps my comment of " high rpm low I.Q." was taken out of context. in NO WAY am i saying that tommy lee is not a pro at what he does, i personally think he is the best rock drummer out there and i have been following his career since the too fast for love days. as far as jason goes i didnt refer to him in the above comment at all. so with all of the proper respect to tommy being given, i dont care how much of a "pro" you are, you dont tell your band mate to shut up on national t.v.. espiecally when he is giving some constuctive criticism to your potential lead singer.
so with ALL of that being said maybe the question to you should have been, billy what would you have done had one of your fellow band mates told you to shut up on national t.v.?
and as far as the whole "tension" thing goes, anybody thats been in a relationship for longer than 5 minutes knows there is gonna be tension. i would like to know how you as a professional guitar player would have handled it.
thanks for your time,
leon

Peebs,

Don't worry about the sound part, they sang "We love you Robin we can't wait to see you again."

Just flying by to say tweet motherfucking tweet y'all!!!!!!!! Billy, we LOVE your ass!!!!

hiya all.
we tell each other to shut up pretty often around here, and it's funny and okay cos we know each other so well.
"shut up, I'm talking"
"you shut up"
"no, you shut up"

Awesome v-blog!!! Can you guys all do me a favour and stop looking and sounding so goddamn hot? So I don't have to be sulky about not being at those shows you've got coming up.

Posted by: ylais at July 13, 2006 05:01 PM

LOL BETH!! That cracked me up!!!!

But I just watched it with sound! You guys sound AWESOME! Billy what was the second song in the Vblog, I LOVE IT even without any vocals. Ok and here I thought Brett thought MB and I were escaped mental patients last weekend ;-) he's not wrapped too tight himself! What a freaking character. Definately tell him your going out for a bite to eat but really take him to the tattoo parlor. That "ink ridden Buttheads" comment on the community so deserves a little pain on him!!!

I'm going to be in Vegas next week, seeing Mr. Sorum, Mr. Weiland, Mr. McKagan, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Slash at the Joint. I hope I only lose $250 like Ricky.

Rock out dudes!
Robin

Peebs - I'm such a smartass, I can't help myself.

Billy, I liked both songs on the blog, LOVED the second one. Does it have a title yet?

I just listened to the Vincent Gallo guest spot on CFR. Funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. The guy is so fucking original, hot and sexy. Reading the hateful post here makes it clear that most guys are jealous of Gallo. My friend who heard the show live said Gallo as well played the best set of music 103.1 broadcast in years. I wish I could say the same for Jones. Does anybody have a copy of Gallo on the Jones show? Please help

Thanks for the sneak peek Billy! What a character you have found in your bass player (and a really nice guy!) Can't wait to see more V-blogs and more of all of you guys!

brett definitely needs some ink....an I (heart) Billy M tattoo would be cool! AHAHAHAHAHHHAAAA

Keep em coming Mr. Morrison...especially the song rehearsals....since you aren't coming east during your short jaunt next month...I gotta get Circus Diablo music where I can get it!
