Roo...

Go here to see the Dimebag Tribute Guitars

There's a picture of Joe's guitar, it's a little hard to see, but it's in the almost last row of pics.

Joe talked about it in the chat with us, just a bit. It ended up being very evocative, because of the unintended placement of one of Joe's drawings, on the back of the guitar. It was a drawing of Dime....and the holes in the back of the guitar ended up being on Dime's body.

All of the guitars done were amazing.

Canada - eh!?... don't know if this is accurate but I read "Chickenfoot will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on August 2, 2009. The concert will be with Our Lady Peace, Finger 11 and Cheap Trick".....

.... and it's not just me who's spotted this either Seperated at Birth

I'd better not mention the Satch/Voldemort one.. DOH....

Burly - ah, NASCAR.... taxi's on steroids really. I wish Montoya would stop being lazy and go back to Indycar. He was awesome there, and it's not working out in NASCAR. It was maybe me you were thinking of re driving?... if I was at my desktop I'd post a pic... I'll get to that

Do The Stu - I'd put forward driving at night for when you're driving at night : ) but maybe this one for some mellow cruising: Heart of the Sun

If anyone wants this track mail me....

Then on your list I'd have One Big Rush, Motorcycle Driver, Back to Shalla Bal etc etc... oh, and (cough) Summer Song : b

Igneous - I second who you're supporting but looking at testing (and you can never rely on testing of course) it's not looking good yet. Well, you frightened me (re 30mph) as I thought it might have been on the MTB. Sounds like you'd better start the hill climb practice then. I hate doing the same killer hill at least twice in the same session, but it works. Tired just thinking about it!

Scubadaz - sounds like you're a busy guy then. Does this sound like your day ha ha

Roo - ha, that's one of my favourites. What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?? As for white dog they should put the 1000WH back into the range too as I'd say that's an iconic guitar.... and I want one : )

ya know, I said that earlier today and people just looked at me like I was talking in a foreign language.

Pip,..F1 cars are awesome I agree..I mean the transmission alone costs more than an entire NASCAR stock car..but..The NASCAR is much more difficult to drive. They are not nearly as forgiving when approaching corners..If you get into a corner too hot in a cup car road course race, you are very likely to spin...And even on the ovals, the cars are much harder to drive...No traction control..no automatic upshifting. In reality a 90 pound whimp with good driving skills can drive an F1all day long...but he will not hold up in a 500 mile NASCAR race...I am not saying NASCAR is better than F1 at all,..I am just saying that Montoya is working his arse off on Sundays.

Actually if you want to see true skill,..Come to the U.S. and watch some dirt track racing,...Something I could really get into is Road Rally..This is close to what I grew up doing on the backroads as a teenager...That's the way we drive in rural American backroads...well the adrenaline junkies anyway.

I want to do a F1 experience in the future,..How much does this cost in Europe?

Skippy- Is Marco Martin an Aussie?(Road Rally)

Austin_ good dessert driving song- Robert Plant,.."Big Log"

Goodnight all!!

Joe,

I've invented a circuit that allows a whole new control for placement of effects on a pedalboard. All controlled from the pedalboard while playing. It is a wonder why no one has thought of it before. Please contact me. I'm trying to schedule an appointment with Peavey to pitch it to them. I have a patent on it already, but it could be improved upon. Please take a wild chance on this. I bet you'd use it if you like playing as much as I do, and like having more control of my effects while playing.

Please email me at glenpoland@yahoo.com if you're interested. And feel free to check to see if I'm for real.

Got Blackhawks flying over our office at the moment for Grand Prix preparations in Melbourne.

The Who is playing the Grand Prix concert BTW, would be interesting...........

burly - I haven't heard of Marco Martin myself - I'm a general sports fan not a diehard car racing fan (talk to my brother, his cat's name is "Ambrose" LOL) so not sure.

Thanks for the music suggestions, everyone. No time to reply right now (other than to say Summer Song will be excluded...haha), but I'll catch up when I'm back.

Feel free to follow me on twitter if you like (http://twitter.com/alewis525), but I don't know how much I'll post there. And I can't access the internet with my phone so I won't be able to read your replies until after my trip.

I plan on taking lots of pictures and doing other stuff that I'll share when I return.

Oh, and if we get any huge Chickenfoot news (like tour dates or an album release date), I expect one of you T2Jers with my phone number to give me a call and let me know. :-)

I should be back late Friday night / early Saturday morning. Until then...

Fade in Thunderbirds theme...... Fade out......

<Jeff presses intercom> BEEP...

Jeff: "Brains, will you come in here please?"

Brains: "uh, uh, yes Mr Tracy?"

Jeff: "Brains, where's Australia?"

Scubie- Sorry but I missed Marco in the posts..I was thinking he was either English or Australian.

Pip that Heart of the Sun track was an excellant start of my day.
