    Angel was written before Glorified G...


    That makes better sense, because I just re-read the Glorified G lyrics, and Angel wouldn't make sense as any kind of come back or whatever. But I do understand why PJ might never release Angel again. Doubt they want to start performing the song where Dave makes his little stand.

    there really isnt a way to 'buy' it since was only released as a holiday single. like someone said earlier, just check the fansites - its everywhere.

    Yeah... I was just hoping someone might be able to point me towards a good download of a bootleg; I'm having trouble finding one (maybe I'm google-dumb, I don't know). Whoopsies on my thread, lol.

  • Perhaps this is Dave A himself speaking???!!!

    You definitely heard wrong or got your info from Grungereport.net... :)
    He had the same girlfriend for years and the same shitty old car he had before joining the band. He didn't agree with the ticketmaster boycott, he felt they should just be playing music. He just didn't fit in. Ed was trying to get rid of him for some time before it actually happened. They treated him like a piece of crap, especially Ed, who didn't even have the common decency to talk to him after they fired him like the rest of the band did. Stone fired him at breakfast, the rest of the band but Ed called him to talk after it happened. The final straw was an interview that Dave gave to Modern Drummer that Ed didn't want him to do even though Ed was doing numerous articles himself...

    Okay. So Ed and the others hated Dave. *shrug* I just think Dave was acting like an a-hole, not the other way around. That's usually the case when 4 guys don't like what 1 other guy is about and it turns a bit ugly.
    I wonder how Dave feels about that stickman tattoo...
    PS - I'm pretty sure he was a man-ho as well, girlfriend or no, not that it's any of my business, but I don't think the band was into that kind of thing.

    Ya, You're way off on your opinions, You should read some books on it to get the real facts... Dave said he still loves the tattoo cause it represents a great time in his life. I've never heard or read on thing about him cheating, That's nonsense! You definitely need to read some books on it and you'll realize how far off base you are but I don't need to get in a pissing contest about this anymore...

    Basically, Dave wanted to be a rock star and live the lifestyle. Ed didn't want that... Well, now he does...

    don't know where you can download it, but Angel on the bootleg 'No Fucking Messiah' is pretty damn good...

    You can download the song from just about any PJ download site.
    It wasn't released on Lost Dogs cause it's a Dave song and Ed still has a bug up his ass about him 17 years after the fact...


    Its so obvious you have a bug about the dave thing which is fine but youre giving everyone else w a different take a pretty hard time. What makes your sources more credible than other books written on the subject? I am intrigued by what actually happened but things are obviously for the better. He was an amazing drummer for that time period. I love the evolution of pj and i dont think his style would fit binaural etc. I also dont think some of the albums after he left would have been possible if he stuck around. You can blame ed but the reality is that ed became the driving force behind the band and i think ed's pedigree holds up pretty well.
    He was ok but wondering about wandering

  • They played Angel at my first show (Dallas '93)...I have the recording somewhere, but it's kind of an "it is what it is" situation.

    My sources are more credible because they are THE ACTUAL PEOPLE we are talking about being quoted in a book written about the time period!!! When I'm reading quotes made by Jeff & Dave, I tend to believe that over some random person on a message board...

    And Ed's pedigree is holding up but his voice sure isn't! Needs to stop smoking like a chimney, especially now that he hittin' up people for almost $100 a head to see him. He kinda sounds like Kathleen Turner now...
