Just read your post. Good luck my man. Music is something that can fill your life with joy. It kept me out of a lot of trouble. Focus on the good and stay pure in mind and soul. You'll get there.

fatape - no drama here really, thanks fo rasking. Bout 9pm last night I was practicing on the geetar and the room shook a little but not much. Only found out it was a tremor when I read the morning papers. Went a long way, Korumburra in the east I believe.

Thank heavens we had some miraculous rain this week to finally pu tout the fires - ironic as we haven't had a real rain in years and we got 2 days' worth.

burly - thanks for that, so is Ten Words hard after all? I only have an old Fender Tele anyway and no effects gear (a $3.80 Woodstock amp) so it was always going to sound average! Will give it a try and keep practicing.

... it's 4am, I woke up as I could hear what sounds like a baby crying outside. Once I stepped outside it stopped. Come back inside and it starts again... what's going on!?

Michelle - that's great news. I'll raise a glass tonight

Blue Moon - well, that's a really really nice job on the pedal board. Didn't think about the F/X loop as on the (dead) effects box I have it's obv built in. Your board is such a nice job I reckon you could sell them no probs.... so that's three for the Chickenfoot bus then

Igneous - the spuds episode sounds the same. Me and mate stopped at T-junct. One car, pause balanced, few more cars, pause balance. Time to go... speeding car.... stop... balance.... lose balance... comedy fall sideways like tree being felled... bike stays attached until last minute when the quick release saves an injury. Queue hysterical laughing from two cyclists. 3 for the bus... so we'll get away with a Nissan Micra for the time being : )

Cheese - some kick ass vids of Joe from the 80's. NICE find, cheers for posting. Um, you/Chris has a JS20th????

Ibanez God/ScubaDaz - have you seen Big Daddy with Adam Sandler in it? Because now that you're scubadaz all I can see is scuba steve! LMAO

Do The Stu - I'm pretty sure you won't get to view that U2 footage from Igneous as it's linked to BBC iPlayer which I'm reasonably confident is restricted to UK only. That's not to say it won't get youtubed of course. Anyway.... back to Kate Beckinsale : )

Skippygirl - the camera ads inches LOL. I dropped you a reply to your email a couple weeks back, did you get it? Ah, yes, the Satch Boogie video. I remember first seeing it and wishing they'd just stayed filming Joe's fret hand... but it's still gr8! How's practice going?

Cube - well it's a great cover.... if you can call playing a song releaseed by someone else but written by you before that "a cover" LOL. Look forward to the next one. Billy Ray Cyrus ("achey breaky heart") maybe? Oh, and hanging out with Zakk W.... for the second time? Tell us more (maybe)?

guitarmeister2005 - sounds like a great birthday. With 1000 watt sound system I can see a Back to the Future moment coming on....

Satriella - they're pancakes ha ha

Cosmic Ape - PG gig sounds awesome. I'd better go search youtube for it

Roo - how much was originally being asked for the JS3? I see your point about the T2J section, but I always got the impression Joe just wanted to bring people together here, just like he does with the music.... an if you do end up coming over for some UK/Europe chickenfoot keep me posted and I'll try to help out (or reserve you a spot on the UK/Europe fan bus LOL)

Maritime - sorry to hear that! Best wishes for a quick return to full health

Hybes - nice link to classic rock. In case it helps, when you go to make any type of post there's a handy set of notes for links etc, just under the "Post his message" button

Burly - that's funny (Joe and picking up girls). I started playing as I loved the sound of the instrument but I soon noticed that as I improved so did the number of girls that wanted to hang out with me. Very funny

Chickenfoot

Joe - thanks for the great music and a great website. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Ah yeah cant go wrong with a bit o Lizzy t go wit top news mama M

mikesb:love TL timeless stuff i get a feelin Chickenfoot will be knockin out some toons that,ll be hangin around for a while 2....hmmm a LONG time since i remember getting excited about new music from any line up

Pip Satrini:Y,d be surprised how much a cat can sound childlike its had me fooled a couple o times

So the scumbag who started those huge wildfires here in Southern California that killed five firefighters back in 2006 was found guilty Friday. He hasn't been sentenced yet, but he faces the death penalty.

I haven't heard the latest on what's been going on with the suspect(s) in the Australian fires...is there any news from down under?

You should create an account there though ("Everyone else is doing it..."). I created a group for T2Jers a few months ago...it's been kinda dead lately, but with some new members maybe it'll pick up.

To shift to the less serious, I was listening to Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast earlier tonight. I know you love your double-bass, but I don't know if you've ever said anything about this album (or band, for that matter)...any thoughts?

JSPhil: there was no price on the JS3, I needed to make a bid to secure it against a second (tenacious) buyer that I told about it (stupidly)? - not really, I had spent far too much on guitars and had to let it slip through my fingers. I decided not to contest it.

ah well, I know it went to a good home - I don't mind helping a fellow collector.

Went to an Iron maiden tribute show Matt (the floor manager from the local music shop) was singing in last night.

What a FUN night. Very cool to hear some really good music played by good musicians, rarely get that around here.

I'm not a maiden fan, so didn't know the songs, but it went off! They played number of the beast and I loved phantom of the opera and many of the others.

I am absolutely serious about this chickenfoot euro tour bus thing. As soon as we get dates, let's start organizing it. I wonder what the plans are for a chickenfoot.us/fansforum site? I guess it makes sense to bring all the fans together soon.

Good Saturday morning everyone. The sun just came up here. I will be spending my Saturday cleaning up from the monster ice storm a few weeks back. Won't have to go to the gym this week.br

Have any of you guys heard of a guitarist named Tony Spinner. Tony is originally from S.E. Mo. He played in a couple of bands around this area and we crossed paths almost every weekend as well as did some shows with them as support for some big time bands of the early 80s. Tony is a talented blues guitarist and vocalist and has recorded several albums.br

I got a text message from my sis this morning. it reads:

"Thank you and Joe and everyone. No sleep here. I want to come home now. "

Not sure if she's coming home today or not. Prolly tomorrow or Monday. Haven't talked to her yet today. I can't wait to see her, but I'm a little scared. Not scared that she's gonna look all tore up, but scared that I'm going to get nervous and get stupid funny like I always do when I'm nervous. Last surgery she had was her appendix taken out, and when I went to see her I couldn't open my mouth without saying something funny. She still holds that against me and threatened me already. She said if she has one hand on her head, and her middle finger up on the other hand, I'm in BIG trouble! lol! Gotta watch for that. lol! It's no fair really since sometimes all we have to do is look at each other and we laugh, so as you see, I'm at a slight disadvantage. lol! I just wish the hospital she's at wouldn't be over 2 hours away.

Austin, not a big Iron Maiden fan, but I dig a few of their tunes. As a matter of fact, every time the shit gets deep I start singing the chorus of Run to the Hills, Run for your Lives!. lol!
