Skippy- He bangs away and can hit with surprising accuracy but he kinda thinks the sound of a rim shot is cool and he likes to whack the top of the bass drum which is a beautiful wine red mahogany. So I am having to cover up the spots he can do damage to. If I tell him to strike the inside of the circle he can, but he has an unbelievable mischievous streak.(which he didn't get from me BTW). My hearing damage might have had something to do with the drums but I blame the giant Magnavox headphones I had as a teenager and Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo cranked to 11.5.

Hybes- glad to hear you are a drummer too. It's fun to revisit, do you still play?

Austin- Maybe Joe knows someone in the music/ journalism field who could hook you up with a potential employer.

Roy- in the states you'd be dead with a temp of 39 as we use the Fahrenheit scale. We Americans have to be different ya know. Normal for us in 98.6 F. Hope you get to feeling better.

Good day all.

Love Day 4 of the Foot! (You know where it is www.chickenfoot.us) I really think this is a great marketing approach, giving people an insight into the 4 band members and where each song has come from. The rapport between them is obvious.

short pre-show Chickenfoot interview May 26

Future's In The Past from Boston

Burly - I haven't played drums for several years now. I think I was 31 or 32 the last time I picked up sticks (other than playing guitar hero with the kids). I have really thrown myself at the guitar. It's funny because I have always had more interest in guitar...I just was naturally better at drums.

A knights tale is one of my favourite movies of all time...well when it starts with a medieaval ...darn it how do you spell that...ok starts with a joust and all the audience are are singing and doing the motions to we will rock you...you know its gonna be good...along with the blues brothers of course!

but I found the soundtrack at a boot sale last week for a quid...awesome...and there is an eric clapton track which is great...

http://www.last.fm/music/Eric+Clapton/_/Further+on+up+the+Road

hey JOE...ever wanted to play with Eric?

I have to admit that I have not really heard much of Eric Clapton before...only the usual...like Layla etc...but this track is muchly awesome...I may have to look into more from this chappy! LOL

Do the Stu - oh well....worth looking into...this day next year or the year after.

Clarky - thanks for the birthday wishes!

Cappy Steve - LOL Trouble is if its a germ....a cricket box wont help much...coz they get everywhere.

Pip - Ta muchly for replies ....great job on overdrive.

Thanks for the link Skippy, there are two more of that same interview carrying on there...that was pure craziness, don't know how anyone could hear a thing, either from the interviewer or the guys. Things are gettin crazy, eh?

And check this segment out

Get a load of Joe's new bucket hat....has his drawings all over it with big, glowy alien eyes on it, LOL!!

Have ya gone into the hat bidness now Joe? It's way cool!! If that guitar thing dunt work out for ya, you've always got clothing and accessory designs to fall back on ;)

LOL!

Morning Tracie - yeah I think the European tour is now definitely going to be HUGE, McKenna, guitarvibes etc better give us a good report but I fear Al will be plastered most of the time :0). So far I think I wish I was at San Fran (for the home crowd) and at Boston (for the small venue) - they seem to have been the best shows so far.

I agree with Austin on "Learning to Fall" it's just lovely.

Good Morning Satchland......

Cappy..... The band is doing great. We fired our bassist and got a real one. Dave is our new bassist and played in my band The Blues Mavericks for 3 yrs. Dave's a great addition and we're booking September now. I love it..... Full steam a head matey

Max Cady Band

Edit : The Blues Mavericks

Cheese/michelle..... I can always count on me lady friends. Thanks for the update. Love you both.... Hugs

Kayla..... Congrats sweetie and tip of the hat from the man himself.

Joe..... You'll never stop amazing me with your music and your kind heart. You're the best. Tell Mick,Thanks again for the Park West.... Cindy and I will never forget this. God Bless....

Good morning everyone!

Joe is with Chickenfoot at the radio station 98.5 KFOX in San Jose (Saint Joe)!! LOL! Greg Kihn and his buddy Chris Jackson are interviewing the guys. So far, they have talked about the Squares. Chad Smith said he's a Squares fan AND Joe said he is holding a vinyl LP of the first Chickenfoot album! This is amazing! Check it out on kfox.com

I know Greg Kihn has been wanting to do this for several months. At last.......a dream come true! Woooo hoooo!!!

Thank you, Joe, Chad, Sammy and Mikey!!

Thanks everybody for all your messages and support! It truely means a lot!!!

I am going to major in child pyschology/ development.

I really want to be able to make a difference. My crazy life has inspired me to do this, and my sister has also been an inspiration.

Im going to just go to the community collage here for the first 2 years and get my AA then go to the state collage for the last 2 years for my bachlors. Its a great way to do what I want to!

Michelle- I was actually awarded the top scholor. but Yes it really just depends. I would so shocked and SOO happy to get it... I cant afford it any other way. The one I got I had to write a letter about what has inspired me... I had 3 topics to pick from... So I wrote about my life with my dad... cause as you know.. It was CRAZY. Then I got a letter of recomendation from my teacher. they really love me and they are actually opening another school just like the one I went to kinda for me. like.. I inspired them to do that...

Skippygirl- actually he played in seattle but I was only a day late for tickets before they sold out which just completly crushed me... but I know I will see him sometime again!

anyway... I gotta run will talk later!

Hey Skippygirl..is all good..ill have to get you back when the foot stomps australia..lol..leaving in a few for the best spot and the long wait.

Cool Chad, now u can play "dress up" with yer Joe....

U know, things like hats, accessories, whiskey bottles, etc, fer parties and Halloween.

LOL!!

Edit: Just in general, out to the cosmos......

Ya know what I don't get? I don't get these supposed "reviewers" who can do nothing except complain that Chickenfoot isn't a rehash of EVH, or Montrose, or RHCP or anything from Sammy's solo career or Joe's....what the hell do they expect? It's like they're retarded, thinking that this group will sound just like EVH or whoever. They are 4 guys with amazing musical histories and backgrounds, who have come together because they all love what they're doing and want to make some music together...and blend into a new whole.

ya eedge, of COURSE I dint mean fer u, it's fer yer Joseph :) DRESS UP!! So an empty bottle would be fun, lol!!
