Acoustic can also mean unaccompanied, can't it? Either way, was just relieved to have found it, lol!

This post is 7 years late, but I guess it's not the first time I've been behind. I was trying to create a ringtone out of Summer Song, but discovered I have to buy it from iTunes rather than use the version from any of my Satch CDs that have it. I figured it was worth $0.99, so I searched iTunes and discovered that Brad Gillis had covered it in 2002.
Of course, Brad and Joe have very different styles, but I like both, so I downloaded it. It clearly wasn't Joe, it was Brad. He did some cool stuff and lacked some of Joe's cool stuff.
So, what does anyone else think of it?
I'm particularly interested to find out if Joe has heard it and hear his opinion.

that cover of summer song is on a rare satch/vai cd called lords of karma a tribute to satriani and vai
i picked it up in a weird cd store in london a few years ago, neil zaza covers friends and does an amazing job... the other satch covers are average at best, vai ones are questionable, george lynch covers shy boy... interesting cd

Austin, mornin' hon! lol! I have no idea who or what that acoustic version of RBSH is, but I must say, the vibrations in the bass rattle inside my skull nicely this morning. lol! As for those VH songs, I'd have to listen to them again. I was cleaning and moving from room to room, mostly thinking "Why don't I know this song?" lol! They didn't grab me as instantly kick ass tunes I needed to pay more attention to, so maybe that says something? I'll have to give them another listen. Unfortunately, I've never seen VH live. Would have loved to though.
Just watched the Chickenfoot live in Vegas 'Rock & Roll' vid. Our little Joey is gonna be a true blue rock star till this is all said and done. lmao!!
Can you imagine how much fun this has to be for Joe? Having a singer to take all the lead parts he usually has to play on guitar must be so liberating. I hope these guys are having the time of their lives! They all deserve it!
iggy, thanks for the Thorogood. lol!
Of all days, my husband wants to do yard work. lol! We bought stone border things for around the roses. That calls for some trench digging, which calls for strength, which I have none of at the moment. lmao!
Jayzus, do I know how to have fun or what? lol!

scubadaz - When I saw Sammy Hagar last summer he actually brought Billy Duffy out to jam on a few songs. They didn't do Loud, but Sammy talked about it (he said they hadn't rehearsed it yet, or something)...he played lead on Rock Candy and another song or two also, I think.
cheese101 - Thanks for the extra info on that version of RBSH.
cosmic_ape - Yeah I think you're right, it does sound like just a clean acoustic guitar. The file name is the same as it was when I downloaded it years ago (I think I've had it longer than what Tracie mentioned, but I really don't remember). Anyway...
michelle - Those songs don't really hold their own against any older VH, but I like them because it was just nice to hear new music from the band. They did sound pretty good live, though, I remember that (especially Up For Breakfast). They had dropped Learning To See by the time I saw the tour, which was a bit of a bummer...but they replaced it with Seventh Seal, one of my favorite VH songs. So it worked out just fine.
...Austin...

im never drinkin again.........
Mr. McKenna--I'm wondering if those words may be a small section of "McKenna's Law". Ya know if there's a Murphy's Law, I was thinkin' there could very will be a McKenna's Law that is not so well known as Murphy's. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The Irish continue to puzzle and fasinate me as do the dutch!
You always have choices, man!

So today I went to see a soccer game here in town, over 20,000 in attendance waiting for the game to begin, and lo and behold Crowd Chant started blaring out of the speakers. It is such an obvious choice for a sporting event, but it's the first time they have used it for the soccer games here, it was a cool moment. I recorded a vid while it was playing, I'll try to put it up on the Tube for all to see. Later!!

Randel- Just got my Digitech Jam Man . bought it from Dave Weiner ( off his web sale). It's cool. It really is helping me already on improvising. It's been years since I played guitar with accompaniment.( being a drummer) You will love your Jam looper...
Weekend almost over. Looks like dry weather is coming for me..Later!!

Hey Joe- I saw you play your harmonica with a hands free harmonica holder. It looked like it was attached to your microphone stand. Where did you find that and where can I get one? I have been looking everywhere. It's tough playing bass and harmonica at the same time. The over the shoulder holders just don't cut it. Any info. would be greatly appreciated from anyone! Thanks!!!

Sapanaro, welcome to the forum!
If you look closely, it seems that JOE has a little device that holds the harmonica, but the gizmo itself is attached to the mic with tape... It looks like it's something either JOE or his tech MacGyvered... I had the exact same question years ago and I never got an answer...
Perhaps this is an alternative you might be interested in... Or you can buy the regular neck holder from Jim Dunlop, that one looks easier to disassemble and maybe "tweak" to get it to fit around a microphone...
...just a thought...

I'm for the old bamboo straws under the fingernails torture for writers of computer viruses. My laptop is sick...I'm trying to use that one for recording with little luck or should I say no luck...Moving back upstairs tomorrow to the trusty ol' desktop.
Is it really true that MAC has very little problems with viruses?..I am a pretty calm guy for the most part, but I think I need to sleep and let my blood pressure subside,...I could scream...This virus is a doozie. It takes over the administrator profile and will not let me log on. Of course it wont let me update virus software from the other profiles...Smart little virus it is. So now I think it has left the door open for others to come in. I understand that you need to remove the hard drive and connect to another computer as an external drive to clean it.
Well enough with my problems..sorry.. But watch out for this virus. Have a great week folks.

download malwarebytes and avg free, that will clean your system up, dont bother with norton, although norton 2009 has sorted itself out, but norton antivirus is bollocks, mcaffee are alrite now, but avg and malwarebytes free simple reliable software that will clean my problems up, and macs are much more reliable than windows, and less subseptable to virus's yes, but with more and mroe people using macs now, you never know, but genereally yea you have the right idea
and external hard drives are the best for recording, wave files and get to be ridiculous file sizes and if u have ur music u can always transport to the studio easier with a simple hard drive, make sure its fast 7200rpm and firewire 2... 800mbps transfare is beter than usbs 400 and something i forget which type of hardrive storage is the best... google the different formats

Do The Stu - I just started listening to Oz Noy a few days ago. I got 2 albums - "Fuzzy" and "Ha!". Hard to separate them out right now in my head without listening a few more times. Both have some really cool stuff, plus some stuff that's a little out there. I'm digging it so far, though. I'd say just listen to some previews on Amazon or iTunes and see if any of it grabs you. Bits and pieces of it vaguely remind me of a cross between Charlie Hunter (7 and 8-string jazz guitar player who plays both the guitar and bass parts at the same time! - and he also took lessons from Satch years ago) and Johnny A.
If you like that, Alex Skolnick is another guy I've been listening to lately, even more towards the jazz side of things. He's the guitarist from Testament but he put together a jazz trio which of course sounds nothing like Testament. It's actually pretty amazing how he can play such a totally different style and does it so well.
Oh and on the subject of recommendations, I have to mention GHS - Frank Gambale, Stu Hamm, and Steve Smith. You may already know about this one, given your nickname. ;) They did 3 albums together of fusion/jazz type stuff. Really great stuff.
Guess I've been on a jazz and fusion kick lately! Of course, Chickenfoot's gonna bring me right back in to some good old rock and roll. ;)
