DO the Stu:

Austin - you are kidding right?

Where else can you have all this information at your fingertips?

Each disk came in Separate sleeves with artwork and heaps of writing.

Basically everything that is in the cd booklets, but better!

Hey Joe!! Do you know of any professional recording studios in or around Virginia? Took a couple of demo tracks I had here to a studio here in Richmond. They did a decent job, but they seemed to be a little too relaxed about getting things done that I would have hoped (punctuality, etc.) Just looking for someone to take things more seriously!! I know you're on the west coast, but was curious of the things you look for when building a relationship with a studio and how you hooked up with the right people to make a project come together???

P.S. - I met you about 2 years ago at Warner Theater in Washington D.C. and gave you a copy of a CD I was working on at the time. Any suggestions??

Hope all is going great, looking forward to CHICKENFOOOOOOT!

Abbott and Costello - At the Computer Store

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello , and not too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO : Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT : Mac?

COSTELLO : No, the name's Lou .

ABBOTT : Your computer?

COSTELLO : I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT : Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou .

ABBOTT : What about Windows?

COSTELLO : Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT : Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO : I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT : Wallpaper.

COSTELLO : Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT : Software for Windows?

COSTELLO : No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT : Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT : I just did.

COSTELLO : You just did what?

ABBOTT : Recommend something.

COSTELLO : You recommended something ?

ABBOTT : Yes.

COSTELLO : For my office?

ABBOTT : Yes.

COSTELLO : OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT : Office.

COSTELLO : Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT : I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO : I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

ABBOTT : Word.

COSTELLO : What word?

ABBOTT : Word in Office.

COSTELLO : The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT : The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO : Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT : The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.

COSTELLO : I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO : That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT : Money.

COSTELLO : I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT : It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO : What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT : Money.

COSTELLO : Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT : Yes. No extra charge.

COSTELLO : I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT : One copy.

COSTELLO : Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT : Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO : They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT : Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT : Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO : How do I turn my computer off?

I need XXXL......

Al:Great job on V Point, makes a HUGE difference having peeps in the know, another feather on the cap sham...onwards

dang dodgy comp grrr

campbell:-Way back in 1978 I was a couple of months short of my 15th birthday and my Dad decided to take me and some of my friends to Circular Quay in Sydney.As we got off the train we could hear loud music and unbeknown to me,there was a free concert being put on by one of the local radio stations on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, so that's the direction we headed.There must've been around 80,000 people there but we managed to find our way to almost the front right of the stage.First up was a local guy you may or may not know of by the name of Jon English.Did good job of warming the crowd up.Then came a group who were a one hit wonder here in Oz, named Wahkoo.(they had a hit with a song titled "Fabulous Dancer").I remember them being quite good live,but haven't heard anything of them since.Then came the BIGGEST surprise yet(and still one of the greatest memories of my life) THIN LIZZY!!!! They were my favourite band at that time(and still hold very high ranking for me) and to make it even better GARRY MOORE was their new guitarist. Man,they rocked like only a good rockin' thing can.And DAMN,they were LOUD! They actually had the Sydney Harbour Bridge shaking, which was reported in the media.People from several miles away said they could hear it quite clearly too. Garry played like a demon and I have the DVD of the original video footage to prove all of it.

So, am I jealous of you going to see Garry Moore?.....

NAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jaysus Roy thatz cool, the music will jig and lilt with that pedigree sound dude... Plus you will obviously be often royally pissed during the process I expect.

Good Morning Satchland....... What Up?

PLEASE READ CHICAGO CHICKENFOOT FANS:

MAY 22nd at The Park West

I talked with a Ticketmaster rep and he stated:

Tickets for the general public was moved to this Sat. at 10am.

If you were trying to purchase today and couldn't get them that is why.

Good Luck to you all and I'll see you at the show.......

fatape

Gary Moore screams!!!

In an interview I heard with Slash on Rock 103 (Memphis) a few years back, Slash made reference to doing the Gibson concert bash with Gary Moore on the bill and his comment was that Gary would have more Marshalls there that anyone else and it would be difficult to stand up to him. I don't really know if his comment was a positive or a negative.

Slansh- Put your stuff out there and someone is bound to pick up on it. I guess T2J attracts a great # of musicians primarily as Joe fans as well as guitar fans in general. There is just a lot of good talent represented here.

Chickenfoot ticket holders- Enjoy!!!!

GuitarVibes- I agree with you on the XXX Large. Folks this guy is huge. I saw his My Space page and remember thinking I had maybe saw him on ESPN ( Worlds Strongest Man Competition.) He dwarfs Joe in the pictures.

Hey Joe,

Joe back to Brazil ... hahaha

... please make another show in Brasilia ... you only came here once and was last year ... in your next tour be sure to return here

Woah... how many pages?

fatape - I don't suppose there's any footage of you being australian jigsaw masacre at that BC Rich is there!? lol. Or maybe a before and after photo?

jdublu - you're right in there was only a couple shipped here. But it affects all of them apparently and shouldn't really happen on any line, let alone the LTD's. You'd think they'd take more care. If I was spending upwards of £3k on an axe it would have to be perfect

Ozzy Fudd - nice RG. Have you customised the 100 at all? Maybe a 1000 neck and the upgraded pickups?

Burly - F1 racing this weekend yes, and Moto GP when you posted that I think. More rain forecast so could be entertaining

Cube - lmao, you posted some Southpark. I nearly posted "no kitty" the other day. Couldn't find cartmans probe in relation to the other posts.

Oh no.... Pip abuse ....

JS1200JS1000 - wow, that's a sweet little collection. Get Joe to finish the back (seeing as no-one ever finished the back of any of them).... that'll be truely unique. Should only take 5 minutes given his ability to just spill out doodles effortlessly

Igneous - noooooooooooooo... you posted a pic of the bike I shoulda bought but didn't, and now can't get. It's so pretty (for a bike). Darn it...

Do The Stu - I updated my CF profile. Got the same error message (that I guess everyone is getting) so just logged out, and when logged back in everything had changed as expected. Maybe have another crack at it. Thanks for the detail on the bone interview. Will you be catching any of the Long Beach race this weekend?

Michelle - how's your arse now? Buns of steel don't ship UPS! Classic Van Halen song (Black & Blue), and the album... thanks for the reminder

Cheese - oh, fanfire messing up again. Maybe it's time Joe's team moved away from fanfire? Ah, the Britains Got Talent phenomenen. I understand Ashton Kutcher saw that and posted it on Twitter, then Demi responded as well... anyway, the first vid of it had 12 mill hits after about 4 days, and I think there's about 25mill hits all told. A surprising voice... cool

Satriella - I didn't think it had gone that far (break up)?
