Anything Don says you take with a grain of salt...or coke.
I'm sure there is a "Lisa" but not the one pictured.
When The Don came clean with the facts....his answer's hold no water.
Chicago Sludger's.....hit up Don's show with a camcorder and grill that fucker for info.
-jpf.
btw...if it wasn't for me this thread would not exist.
I stand by everything I posted.
Those who know Don or Love Znuff are trying to do damage control.
I deserve a change from "Playing shitty clubs in a van" to "Busting Vie's Balls" or you Sludger's decide..
lets recap..
Donnie...
about Monaco......................
I agree.Jon was great in the band.I loved his vocals,his playing was great and he was is one of the funniest guys I know.He was just really mean to me,and did nothing but talk shit.I tried a million times to write with him(seeing the better potential in colaberating than some) but he wouldnt or couldnt bring himself to do it.What can I do? this shit is fucked up enuff as it is without an internal sabatoure(??? no idea how thats spelled). I answered your question
-Monaco always pushed for a change in the setlist. FACT!
about The Big Guns..
Yeah paul stanley gave me a ride,when I got left at the china club.when I got in his car with him and his girlfriend(who im sure was the one sucking his dick) our record was already in the cd player.In fact a few years later,backstage at Kiss n makeup tour,The demon walked right over and shook Chip & my hands and also told us that we were one of their favs.Ask them...If YOU can!.So have many other huge artists.(aerosmith,cheap trick,Bon Jovi etc....)All the bands love our stuff(melodies/Vocals)(I do believe that would mean me!
-If these Acts Loved Znuff so much why didn't they take Znuff out?
Clive Davis..
No I never Insulted Clive Davis.He was only interested in the CHR(contemporary hit radio) stuff we had.those were the ballads.they had no rock dept.and also didnt get the rest of the band or the image or wrecking great pop songs with big stupid hair,pretty pink drums,or a clown stealing the spotlight.
_The Don held flowers to a private area and said "Here's looking at you Clive"
Poison and Warrant.....
once when I was doing an interview after a show,they kept bringing up warrant(I was not a fan of the tunes,but later learned to appreciate jani's non warrant material he played me)Chip once again failed to mention they were also on the tour with us and Poison.after a while i was like" who gives a fuck about warrant! why do you keep bringing them up?!" I said some wisecrack,as there were fans watching me do the interview,and I wound up hiding in the bus for the first few shows,till Jani and I became buds.WE have other history involving me and a couple of his wives(before he met them)No biggie
yeah,I dont dig most of the 80s bands music,and am not a hypocrite brown noser.
Im not the biggest Poison fan musically(they are all mediocre at best) but I do appreciate what they do and what they are good at.And they are all friends of mine,and love what I do.
-Don is a hypocrite
On Ricky, Drugs and Derek.....
I have never been an intravenous drug user.(maybe 5-10 times my whole life)I have never shot up with Frigo,nor did he do that when I knew him,,,and until the end,Ricky was a health nut except for slamming as much beer as he could after shows and fucking everything and anything in sight.my last year with him(them before I left) he started getting high but I never saw him shoot anything except a load.Im not sure what happened in his years to follow.he was a sweet guy and he and so was Derek when he wasnt all coked up and they both died tragic deaths(Ricky of cancer and Derek was murdered,but it wasnt proven) so you are one misinformed piece of shit for slandering their memory's)
-The Dude's been dead for how long? Just now the Don says he was murdered?
On Cinderella stealing New Thing...
our manager at the time,owned Royal recorders that many of doc m'gee's bands recorded at.WE left a session cause we were invited to BonJovi/Cinderlla.after the show they came back to check out the studio and hear what we were doing(the first record) we played them "new thing" they asked to hear it 5 or 6 times over,,,the next cinderella album featured "Gypsy rose" Listen to the riff... Its exactly new thing riff only backwards.Who knows. but what a coincidence
-old ass story.
Life....
yeah I got fucked up alot,but I was unhappy and that was the only way I knew how to cope.Yes Im Bipolar,and ADHD and suffered an abusive childhood(in every way)in a very fucked up enviroment,with no support or supervision(or money) But I did make it to Number 1 and MTV.And went on to write and put out almost 20 great albums total.Have you?
-How can the Don be so unhappy when all he does is use people.
LA SmOGG and Znuff...
I came back with a great record and high hopes that some things would be different.It was the same ol same ol,in fact I was getting fucked around in a whole new way.Jake wont tour,CJ didnt work out(for this band)
I came back ready to kick ass,got discouraged right away,then disinterested,so I resorted to my same stupid method of coping.But this record is only getting started.we have a great new European deal in the making,a decent japan situation,Ive made some good new strides with my issues(thanks to the help of Lisa),went to rehab,and we'll just have to wait n see.Although Im about burnt on the rockstar thing,and am happy now getting into more practical areas in the field,not to mention for the first time in my life truly happy and in love.I aint promising shit to anyone but Lisa and myself,but Im sure I'LL keep making records to the best of my ability to anyone who wants to hear them till I run out of ideas.for now Im loving living a normal,quality life
-Once again the Don playing the victim.
Burning a bridge with Stern...
There was a date. "Win-a-date with Enuff Z'Nuff." We went on the date and the poor girls were uglier than fuck. Gary Dell'Abate, Boy Gary, had a girlfriend at the time. I didn't really know she was his girlfriend. She was passing notes to me all night and this-and-that; she was pretty fine, she worked for Penthouse and I ended up banging her that night, and I think that's what it was. I think that's where it went south really.
BUT... It's also....I think Chip over did it with "Howard Stern's favorite band" and all this-and-that. Chip always, when he's got a good thing he overworks it till it's nothing.
-Chip has got a huge painting from Stern as a gift. Don didn't get one.
On Jake E Lee and touring....
dont know. he just wont.He is a peculiar fellow but what a great player!
-really? just how many tracks did Jake play on? It doesn't sound like any of his previous work.
On the Name Znuff...
I hate and always hated the name.And on top of it chip needed a better last name than the one he was using(saint chocolate) so on our way back from gettn a gyro,I said"how bout chip znuff" he was wispering to himself the whole way home,and when I pulled up to drop him off he goes"IM CHIP ZNUFF!!!!" oh brother
I shot for "Fireflys"
btw...
THE DUDE
RICKY
R.I.P!
