Bloody hell Joe, you made me look like a right GIT!
:)
Oh, no wait, I did that on my own! LOL!
Good to hear from you Joe, I think you underestimate the impact a little blue has on all of us.
I had only one question then, do the loyal T2J satchers get a preview of chickenfoot? Cmon, throw us a little soap on a rope!

CHICKENFOOT is heating up :) :) :)
Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith team up for supergroup and give Classic Rock the exclusive lowdown.
The name Chickenfoot doesn’t exactly conjure up visions of a union between some of rocks mightiest musical behemoths; in fact it sounds more like a nasty side effect of bird flu.
“It was just supposed to be a bullshit name that we’d used for a while,” former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony told Classic Rock. “And then the rumours spread about the band, everybody used that name so we thought, ‘fuck it, let’s call it Chickenfoot - it all comes down to the music anyway.”
Featuring Sammy Hagar (vocals), Joe Satriani (guitar), Chad Smith (drums) and Anthony; this million-dollar quartet are reluctant to call themselves a supergroup as a modest Smith explained: “We’re not a supergroup, we like hanging out together and the music is a bonus. We just happen to be in other groups.”
Classic Rock caught up with the band at Hagar’s recording studio in San Francisco where the ever ebullient Red Rocker explained the origins of the band.
“It started off with me, Michael and Chad jamming at my club-Cabo Wabo-in Mexico. Then people started asking us when we were going to tour, make a record etc. So I said if we’re going to do this properly then we’re going have to get a guitarist, let’s talk to Joe Satriani. As far as I’m concerned he’s the best guitarist in the world.”
The band made their official debut a year ago in Las Vegas at a Hagar concert where they played a three song covers set (including Zep’s Rock’n’Roll and Traffic’s Dear Mr Fantasy). Since then they have managed to record an album’s worth of material with Andy Johns and Mike Fraser at the helm. They are currently putting together a tour of Europe’s festivals this summer, which will include some shows in the UK.
“Europe is where I want this band to start, I feel so guilty that I haven’t played Europe in years,” Hagar revealed.
Classic Rock was given an exclusive preview of three tracks from the band’s eponymously titled debut. Soap On A Rope and Sexy Little Thing have the humour and loose feel of prime Halen, with the unbridled energy of Montrose. Avenida Revolution is an epic political anthem about the troubles on the Mexican/American border and has all the making of a classic.
“I’m not looking for fortune and fame out of this. I’ve had enough of that to last five times,” explained Hagar, maybe referring to selling an 80 percent interest in his Cabo Wabo tequila company for $80 million. “So pull that out of the equation, what am I doing it for? The music and enjoyment.”

Right just me then.........
So who's in Europe and the UK and who's GOING to Europe and the UK to see Chickenfoot? As much as I love Australia sometimes the distance is a pain.
If you form a tour group please make sure you take a banner again for all the T2Jers - maybe you could list us all by name?????? And loads of pics.

Oh yeah, the BLUE!!! It softens my eyes (...and the shouting in-between blinds them...) more of that blue, good to hear from you Joe.
michelle: No idea al, they're interchangeable imo just like Starsky & Hutch. Who cared what their names were. lol! It's what they did with the car. lol!
Jayzus, now they're testing kids books for lead. They're making it mandatory to test kids books made after 1985. Who the hell can afford that? Just make kids wear a seat belt and helmet when they read them and everything will be a-okay. Geez man, if kids wouldn't eat so many books we wouldn't have this problem. What I want to know is... if lead is supposed to make kids IQ drop, how smart would kids who are reading all the books be if they didn't read those books and be exposed to lead? And what about the kids who never read? Are they just eating the pages and getting stupider? Is stupider even a word? I would know that if I wouldn't have eaten those books I shouldn't have read. hahahahaha
All the sick/sad/unemployed people: not awesome, been there. Hope you all get better.

Thats it! I'm flying to Europe to see Chickenfoot. Anyone happy to put me up for a few nights?
If anyone is thinking of following the tour for a few stops (when we know the itinerary) let me know and I'll come along if you don't mind!
See you in Europe Joe!

Hey Joe
mama M:Prayers of y all across here hon as always
Maritime:Easy as she goes champ
roo:y didnt look a git at all bro its a fair point, should really hit the chat room at times meself instead o peeps havin t sift through these hugely important mails i post...not
Scuba:The official legal pay per hour for a fully qualified Builder or Electrician in 2006 mind! was 33Euros per norm working hour 40E for reperations & 65E p/h for urgencys/festive days b4 tax..... a semi qualified helper 20E then have per hour on top o that extras "non Taxed"......80cents per km for petrol 10E for every hour spent traveling back & forward t work 20E per day for yer grub....so you do the math for yer hourly rate & add on the extras right?¿
A semiqualified "helper" professional should get payed after tax 6-800 euro a week
What fully qualified people do here is go self-employed, work for a company, find someone semi qualified that is desperate t work & pay em in the black 250-350E per week that way yer boss gets from said company "most are mafia" 2000E A WEEK & pockets the helpers extras and hourly cash t pay off his tax and monthly expenses
There y have it the legal paperwork stating what you should get payed & the sad reality of whats payed t Barcelona,s working class...little wonder theres an uneasy shuffle when it gets mentioned or people dont want t talk about it eh
Be carefully out there all of y, dont sell yerself short, they come with a smile...bastards
Al:Redrum should work for other drum samples but i dont see a program in Reason that can do the same for other orchestral samples or am i missing something? really pushin the CPU on the Ap mac t max now with this plug in malarky & its slowin down,maybe have t mix down & import t another track, bollox t it up all night wi this, eyes like piss holes in the snow zzzzzzz

plugins will eat up all your procesing power alrite
as for reason, theres tons of orchestral samples avilable and u can run them in an nnxt sampler easily, or in a combinator then 3 nnxt samplers in one, combinator just merges them together in one rack unit... great for strings
when you expand the nnxt u can change a ton of settings and paramaters for each piano key in one sampler, or even set up a series of keys for a sample aswell as usual ADSR and and pitch controlls and some otheres
but for a simple string sample or something just use 1 nnxt and it will be easy to do and write on the sequencer window
if ur running that into pro tools it all comes in as an instrument track, dont run a mixer in reason, patch direct to the output unit on the very top in reason and rewire reason in an instrument track in PT
that saves some power if u can manage to follow it all, easier done than said really and i suck at explaining things

Guys, The comment Sammy made about Joe is understandable, Sammy has worked with many great guitarists over the years. Eddie is great is his own way, I mean probably one of the most unique styles in rock guitar. But Joe is in my opinion the most soulful and creative player in the rock genre. Or any other genre.
Look this Chickenfoot thing is like a dream come true. I mean you already know how I feel about Joe, and Mikey man Van Halen supplied a huge part of my inspiration to play. Love Mikey's harmonies and playing style. And Sammy...Look guys I love Van Halen...I love old Van Halen with David Lee Roth... BUT when Ed, Mike and Alex walked out on stage with DLR at the awards show and announced that Dave would be re-joining the band, I was very disappointed. Of course the reunion did not last long only to release the greatest hits album... But my favorite version is VAN HAGAR. They had a chemistry that worked man. Sammy is still one of the most powerful dynamic vocalists in music, after all these years still gettin' it done. I am 43, a little old to be a huge Peppers fan but I do like what they offered, but a group that puts this kind of lineup out there,...Wow man I just have 2 things to say,. THANK YOU, and please come to MEMPHIS!!
