Do the Stu - what a way to have to finally hear some Candlebox. I'm glad you remember a couple of songs. They really were awesome for a minute and then just faded away. Let me know how you like the rest of the cd when you buy it. Their new release is really good too. I was very impressed.

SAMMY HAGAR BLAMES TEQUILA FOR ZEPPELIN COMMENT

A 3-Part Sammy Hagar Podcast interview can be heard/downloaded at: http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/sammy-hagar-blames-tequila-for-zeppelin-comment-174781 Interview summary:

"Chickenfoot could rival Led Zeppelin." It was a quote that made its way across the Internet within hours, and the man who said it, Sammy Hagar, blames it all on tequila.

"I got fucking ripped and I said something stupid," Hagar admits, laughing, recalling the press day he did in Toronto this past spring to launch his premium Cabo Wabo Tequila in Canada (a product he just said sold an 80 percent interest in for the tidy sum of $80 million).

Throughout the day, journalists and Hagar were imbibing, and the singer reveals that the combination of alcohol and his unbridled love for his new supergroup led to an unfortunate slip of the tongue.

"I told Joe (Satriani), 'I'm so enthusiastic about this band, I might've said something. But I was buzzed up. What are you gonna do?"

And with the lineup Sammy Hagar has for Chickenfoot (a code name, by the way; the real name has yet to be decided), he has a right to be buzzing.

Along with Mr. Can't Drive 55 are guitarist Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and fellow ex-Van Halen member, bassist Michael Anthony. According to Hagar, the recording sessions are exceeding his wildest expectations.

"The world needs this band right now. The rock 'n' roll world needs this band. We are a rock band, and we're at the top of our game. When the world hears this, it's gonna turn on its side."

Throughout his career, the Red Rocker has been in his share of groups (Montrose , HSAS, Van Halen) and side projects (Planet US, Sammy And The Waboritas) and he's spent considerable time as a solo artist (his new album, Cosmic Universal Fashion, drops in November), but at the ripe age of 60 ("But I'm still 18 in body and spirit!"), he's convinced that Chickenfoot will be his finest hour.

"This is the music I always wanted to make with the kinds of guys I always wanted to play with. I can't wait for people to hear it!"

Hey Joe & Everyone,

Been busy as usual: Work, Running, etc. Ran a half-marathon last Saturday and I have another one to do this Saturday. With my "hospitality" work, it is very doubtful to see Satriani in concert, which sucks.

Just need to find Additional Creations and then I will have every single one of Joe's CDs. Does anyone know when he will be coming out with another album?

Joe, hope you are doing well and the best of luck to you on your U.S. Tour (wish I could come and watch you perform).

Gotta run, got errands and chores to get done. Deuces to you all!!!

OOOOooooooo those of you in Boston and San Diego, check out the road page, Joe is doing some special appearances to sign autographs and give away SWAG!!! Lucky dux, wish I lived one of those places :)

Plus....check the news section, there's another give-away contest that looks my-tee-fine....with CAD mics and Joe!!

Joe, yer a doll, always doing something nice for your fans when u don't even hafta...we love ya! Bet yer already in rehearsals for the upcoming tour, maybe Mr. Luini can sneek a cam in and give us a sneak preview vid :)

HA! McCain is running away from Friday nights debate. lmao! He knows he's gonna get his ass kicked and be caught in all the lies he's been making up. This is precious! Obama would have more or less been debating an empty space anyways, so we'll see what happens.

T-Bones, yer such a super slueth! I think I'll give you a cookie ;-)

Now, in case you guys were wondering...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Let the debates begin: VH1 has compiled its list of the 100 greatest hip-hop songs, and Public Enemy's black power anthem "Fight the Power" tops the list.

The cable channel will count down its list in a series of shows starting Monday. At No. 2 is the Sugarhill Gang's groundbreaking song, "Rapper's Delight," followed by Dr. Dre's "Nuthin but a 'G' Thang" at No. 3. Run-D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message" round out the top five.

Salt-N-Pepa was the only female act in the top 10, with their early hit "Push It." Two of rap's biggest names — Jay-Z and Eminem — didn't make the top 10, though they are in the top 20.

Flavaaaaaaa Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav! lmao!

Hello everyone, I'm new here! Pleased to meet you all, and I'm glad to now be part of the Satch community!

Thanks Michelle! Big 22 so kinda sucks cause it finally marks the end of my teen hood and now adult hood kicks in...lol. AJ

Do The Stu, I havn't seen the bass yet. My parents told me over the phone that they bought me one so when I go get it, I will let you know what kind it is and hope to get some starter licks.

21 more days till YOUR GIG in KITCHENER!!!!!! 21 more days till the Meet and Greet! I am too excited!! So excited I had to post my excitement again!!! :)

(geez I hope you don't think I'm a lame-o when ya meet me Joe... LOL)

Have a great week

hi joe!!

This is my first post massage, im just a kid of 13 years old, i think you are awsome. I saw you in the metropolitan theatre it was unveliable! However i want to ask you something, how is that you can make so cool songs?, do you already have them in you head?

Zinc Master - That's a good Sammy Hagar interview...he has a lot of nice things to say about Joe in the second audio clip. Man, I can't wait for this project...

The holiday decorations and stuff start just as early on this side of the pond, too, and it bugs me as well. I think Thanksgiving is a bigger holiday for people on a personal level here, as there's no religion tied to it (no one is "excluded"), but as far as holiday hype in the media and in stores and so on Christmas is by far the biggest holiday of the year.

Joe's next release will likely be the PSATMOR live DVD (and CD?) recorded in Paris earlier this year. His first release of new stuff should be the Chickenfoot project with Sammy Hagar...that should be out in early 2009.

Are you much of an Aerosmith fan? The bass in their music generally doesn't stray too far from what the rhythm guitar is doing, so since you're a guitar player that might be a good place to start learning bass. I can recommend some songs for you, if you'd like. Or if you hate Aerosmith, I can come up with some different stuff. ;-)

Keniko- thats great that your excited about your new band. did you read my last post? I'm comin home man!! wife decided it would be best to raise our family there. i am very happy, to freakin hot here. and people drive like idiots. i could give a list but that is the top two. really want to come check you out when i get back probably in December. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
