Why do you describe him with the word "douchebag"? Did you have a personal experience with him?

I typically save that word for dudes who wear sideways baseball hats. :noclue:

I would listen to an original band called Royal Machines for sure.
I dunno. Washing Machines or Royal Flush seems like a more apropos name for this outfit.

I've met him... and yes I would use that word.

However, that was when he was coked out of his gourd so I can't say how he is sober (is he officially "sober" now? I know he did a stint in rehab not too long after a friend did a local radio sponsored festival with him where Mark passed out and peed himself in the back of their vehicle...)

I remember walking into the bathroom at the Janes El Cid show years back and seeing McGrath come out with some serious coke jaw action! I'm just mad I didn't ask him for any. I have no idea if he's a douche. He's basically just a Navarro light kind of guy. I'm sure he wants to host the adult video awards and all that stuff too.

If just looking at Mark McGrath doesn't immediately set off your douche radar then I'm not sure I can help explain it.

OK.....well here you have it.....Ladies and gentlemen…. introducing Royal Machines - @DaveNavarro @BillyMorrison @donovan_leitch @mark_mcgrath @joshfreese #ChrisChaney
So I'm guessing this is just Camp Freddy with a new name? More cover band bullshit?

I was RIGHT! Sorum was the dick that was left out! haha

Nice to see they got Freese. That dude is a fucking machine. He also happens to be a dude who only plays for big money bands, so I am wondering if maybe this is going to signal a more active band than Camp Freddy had been. Hmmmmmm

and Weezer. and Sublime. and formerly (possibly still) DEVO. and formerly NIN. and formerly A Perfect Circle.

He's a hired gun for pretty much any touring band.

So as I said... he's into getting paid. Which makes sense that he'd join Royal Machines. But still... how would he fit those one off shows into a busy touring schedule with 2-3 other bands?

Royal Machines have to be planning something bigger than Camp Freddy ever was.

Dave wont ever accept that the only reason he's famous is because of Perry.

So, did Sorum own part of the name "Camp Freddy"? Because this is just CF without him.

I think the majority of us are surprised they broke up because we weren't aware they considered themselves a band.

I dunno, but I think Navarro is probably more famous than Perry.

I agree with this statement. :nod:

I think if someone just conducted a random poll asking people on the street if they had heard of either PF or DN, I think more people will know who DN is.

His choices of lead singers make me seriously wonder what his subconscious says about PF.

I was wondering if Dave would ever make music again if CF broke up. I guess this is his main gig now. Wonder what happened to those two solo albums?
