Even though I have a lenient viewpoint toward overproduction, I have always been very impressed to hear artists recreate the album sound live. Scorpions (Monsters of Rock 1988 sticks out for me). I had to look at the soundboard several times to see if Dieter Dierks was manning the controls..
The Chickenfoot record does have a lot of low end. It does sound great though with a sub-woofer. I turned the bass up 2 notches from where I normally listen. I have never been a fan of the rumbling bass sound but for some reason I like the lows on this album and how they blend with Joe. One point that sticks out for me is on MKG with Chad riding the floor tom (which is in tune with the bass line) and the mix is blended and transitioned from Mikey to Chad and back again throughout the song. It has a rumble at times that would normally be annoying to me somewhat, but I like it. And I do realize that I have had a great deal of anticipation and excitement with this project so there is a factor there that would render me partial.{br]
Got my Chickenfoot T for Fathers Day from my oldest daughter. She ordered it way back and it just came yesterday. (Was supposed to be delivered by DHL and so charged but it came regular mail)
Enjoy

Roy : i agree about MJ.. the man seemed very pertubed & haunted by terrible demons..
Austin : The most annoying point to me is that the ones who have blamed him during changing skin color weirdness & pedophilia scandal are now acclaiming him.. now he doesn't need them anymore.

Even worse than MJ news overload, is Twitter "news".
I don't give a flying f--- about what's going on there. F--- twitter. Can we keep it out of the media for the literate.

DoTheStu: I know what you mean about MJ. Unfortuantely, I'm one of those people, as I'd never thought of listening to hi stuff as it seemed the 'wong' genre (if that makes sense)...but I've heard a few tracks on TV programmes and as a result, I've got to like a few. I just wish I'd thought to give him a listen before :(
....and yes michelle, if buying a cd of his will help his kids get through this then consider it bought!

Austin, I absolutely agree. To little, to late - all around. As for the Jackson 5 - they were the coolest band out there when I was a kid. They blew the Osmonds out of the water. LOL! It was really cool to have brother bands - and soo many brothers too!. Then of course they both had little sisters who sang too. Anyways, what's your fav MJ vid? Here's mine - Scream. It's like the lyrics from his songs went unheard by way to many. Maybe they heard them but still thought it was funny to torture him anyway?
Let me just take a sec to add that I haven't been mentioning Farrah's death because of the fact that it's to emotional for me. I haven't been able to watch most of the press on her because I don't feel like crying my eyes out and getting that upset. I've seen what cancer does, and at this time, I have to emotionally distance myself. With my step dad just going through colon/rectal cancer, it hits to close to home. By the grace of God my pop is doing well now, and has even put some weight back on. As far as I know, he has a clean bill of health except for a few non cancer related glitches. Farrah is just as important as MJ - I just can't go there.

Just realised two lil demos of using SL-20.
First demo is SRV funky blues style.. SL-20 is used on bass, rythmical guitar & lead guitar. For the lead guitar, i found a pattern that can be similar to an auto wah.
Second demo is weird stuff.
If some are interested by slicer adrenalin things
SL-20 demos

Hey Austin; Yeah I'm a real newbie here! Well I grew up with everything from Motown, Zep, even Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, through the 80's with all the classic "hair" bands, then the grunge movement to todays heavier groups. Right now I listen to TOOL,SYSTEM OF THE DOWN, PAPA ROACH, NICKELBACK, DISTURBED, which my wife says I am for listening to them lol, it seems the older I get the "heavier" I like my music. I know that's the reverse of how it supposed to be but...... I guess because I always loved the guitar I'm constantly drawn to heavier guitar sounds and styles. I definately can't stand most of what is on the radio these days, which is why my Chickenfoot cd plays non-stop, which is why I'm so excited about this band, you can play the whole cd start to finish. There are no throw away songs IMHO.
I can appreciate giving a little more emphasis on the bass and drums on this record, agreed they are an awesome rythm section, maybe the best in the business right now, just think they needed to tone it down just a smidgen. But that's why they say different strokes for different folks!
As for another producer hmmmmmmm, always loved the production on Candle Box's first one, still listen to that cd. His name is Kelly Grey, not exactly a big name but I think it has awesome balance.
As for all the recent "star" deaths, people may ask what's up with that, I say it's called LIFE.

Jaysus Michelle, Billy Mays and of course Vince the sham wow guy has his troubles. Humankind just cannot keep up the ferocious "pitch" energy those guys spout pretty much 24/7. In Billy's case though, maybe there is some black hair and beard dye poisoning involved as well....
