What's up Dave?

[phlame]

So, how's it going man?

[phlame]

What's it like to play with Steve vai all the time?

[DavejWeiner]

Hey Phlame.

What's up?

To answer your question... for me, it's mostly educational. Steve, to me, is the quintessential musician. He takes care of his fans, he pays attention to the slightest detail and he knows his business and every aspect of it for the most part. I've tried to absorb that ethic as well.

Aside from that, it's crazy fun to play for a ton of people and travel the world to just play my guitar.

Take care.

Just wondering: Are you going on tour with Steve next time out?

[DavejWeiner]

Yup. We're heading to South America in Nov for a G3 tour and then I believe we'll be doing a bunch of touring in support of Steve's new cd in '05. Hope to see you there.

Dave

[Ekim]

Well of course! At least once if not twice. I cannot wait.

[AndersPGM]

awesome!


will you be touring europe in Ž05?

sweden?

[DavejWeiner]

Hi Anders..

I can't promise anything since I don't book the tours, but I believe Europe was on the schedule for 05. Hopefully!

Dave

[AndersPGM]

Thanks Dave!

sounds great!

IŽll keep my eyes n ears open.

[MetalliJedi]

Great to hear that youŽll be touring with Steve next year!

But I just wonder... when are we going to see a Dave Weiner solo tour???? It would be interesting to see you play YOUR material with your band.

I hope youŽll get to do that soon... (I hope sooner than the actual release of John PetrucciŽs Suspended Animation cd) (sorry about JPŽs sarcasm.. but hell years and years pass and no sign of that album)

[DavejWeiner]

Hey Jedi.

My band and I are rehearsing my cd right now and hope to do a few local shows early 05. Hopefulyy that will go well and we can expand our touring.

Where do you live?

Dave

[Ekim]

Just get Steve to let y'all open for him like Keneally and BFD did in 96!!

[invisibo86]

band rehearsals!??!?! you need to get those on DW-TV man!!! and are you going to be letting us know who these incredible people are?!! killer news man

[DavejWeiner]

Yeah, I'll get a clip of rehearsals in thenext few weeks.

The guys I'm playing with right now are Chris Maute (bass) and Mike Kernikey (drums). They are sick players.

My music really calls for at least a 5 piece band, but I have to keep it at a 3 piece until the big $$ offers come in. So, to play the cd, we will be playing to Protools. Obviously the drums, bass and my lead lines will not be part of the backing tracks, just the extraneous harmonies, synths and percussion.

I'll definitely let you know when and where the shows happen (likely early 05).
