Hooo-lee shit! I can't believe everything sold out so fast! I mean I can, but I can't. I think every venue is will call too, LiveNation only, so no tickets from any other site - and that's the way the band wanted it. Sucks if you buy tickets then can't make the show. You can't even give them to a friend without going to the will-call window to get them yourself. Blame the scalpers who make a profit on somebody elses hard work. I feel so bad for everybody who didn't get a ticket. That really really sucks.
I accidentally got mine a day early. I heard the Chicago pre-sale tix were sold out, so I went on TM to see if a Philly show was listed. Nothing, so I went to the LiveNation site, and it had a BUY thing next to the Philly show and my code was up. I was like huh? I went through the motions to buy my tickets thinking it would not accept the final click to buy them - but it did. I was like wtf?? About 10 minutes after I bought them, I got mail from CF saying there had been a "miscommunication" with the ticket seller, and the tickets are on sale early - go get 'em - which I already had! If I wasn't checking my computer that day after work expecting them to go onsale the next day, Philly presale might have been sold out before I got to it. Wonder how many peeps got screwed on that one?
Anyways - the BIG pictue is - they'll be coming back around in a few months for another kick-ass round HOPEFULLY in a town near you...and Australia....

I'll get over it... I have spent a lot of money lately so I wasn't going to dish out 40 bucks for the pre sale... Even if I had the money, it seems like a lot, it's almost like buying two tickets...

... gettin' ready to practice for the up coming "road test tour"... just wanted to stop in and say "THANK YOU! to all my friends at T2J... the buzz on the Chickenfoot is amazing, we've got a ton of radio jumpin' on "Oh Yeah", and the ten days I spent in Europe doing press was so cool 'cause everyone loves the new CD... couldn't ask for a better start... me and the Vox team picked up a M.I.P.A. award for the Satchurator pedal at Music Messe, that's cool... just for fun: @chickenfootjoe ... joe

Hi Joe ..... Good to see Blue. I'll be missin' you in Chicago for the Chickenfoot show. Maybe it was me but the email for the presale was sent a day late and looks like this show is sold out. At least I'm a fan club member and looking forward to seeing you when the actual tour starts. Thanks so much for all the great music. Chickenfoot is going to be great and I'm so happy for you as I know you've wanted this for a long time.
Take Care......
BTW,,,, Congrats on your award for the Saturator pedal. I picked up one and it's amazing. It goes good with my signed JSX Head. Thanks again for signing this. You can check my pics
Here of the April GC event where you signed it. There's great pics of you with Cindy,me and Mick and I. Check them out.
Thanks Again......

From the former CD I really like SWTA, Always with me, Always.., Flying in a Blue Dream, The Mystical Potato Head Groove..., I Believe, Friends, The Extremist, Summer Song, Why (This seems like the story of my life--It was said by me mom, I asked way too many questions....she wasn't prepared for her #2 daughter..now we rarely speak to one another), Cool #9, Down, Down, Down (Oh, Joe, I can see the tears running down your face and I can completely relate to such sadness with the demon depression pressing on me), and Rubina (a ray of sunshine).
Thanks, Joe, Webmaster Jon, and all ya great T2Jers

Joe - Thanks for the update...any chance you can give us a hint as to what covers you guys will be playing? ;-) I was listening to the first Montrose album yesterday and think it'd be really cool for Chickenfoot to do Space Station #5. It's a bit obscure, yeah, but I'd love to hear what you can do with the rhythm guitar riffs in that song.
Skippygirl - Thanks for the extra info on Time Machine. I think the write-up you mention being on the vinyl sleeves is also in the CD booklet. I don't think I've read it since I bought the album, though, and that was about 10 years ago. I'll have to go find it (I have it sitting "away", as the cover is autographed by Joe) and read it again...
scubadaz - I don't think Chad will ever "leave" the RHCP, but I suspect they might be done as a band as far as recording new music goes. I bet they do something soon (2010?) but I think it'll probably just be a tour.
Joe mentioned in an interview recently that there's a "break" point for Chickenfoot in November or so. If the RHCP are ready to get back together then I guess everyone will do their own thing for a while...but I hope Chickenfoot goes right back into the studio.
This is an odd thing to talk about, but if Chad goes back to the RHCP I wouldn't mind seeing Chickenfoot turn into a band that records with Chad and tours with Jeff Campitelli. I have no idea what kind of chemistry he'd have with Sammy and Mikey, though...
Anyway...what are some of your favorite Hagar-era VH songs?
JDMD - Welcome to the site!
I have similar feelings about Ten Words, but they have to do with different people (no wife and kids for me quite yet, haha)... I'm sure you've heard about Joe's Chickenfoot project, right? What do you think of those new songs we've been able to hear?
michelle - Did you see Van Halen on the 2004 reunion tour with Sammy (just after the BOBW set was released)? Their Sacramento show on that tour is one of my favorite concerts ever.
What are your thoughts on those three VH songs? I like 'em a lot, even though Mikey didn't play on them (Eddie played bass and Steve Lukather sang background vocals). Up For Breakfast has some similarities, lyrically, to Down The Drain.
You mentioned Poundcake...that's not really one of my favorite VH songs, but I think Chickenfoot would do an excellent job with it. I wouldn't mind hearing that one on tour...
satchblues - Welcome to the site! I was at the ITLIS? CD release party that you mentioned, at Tower Records. That was a great little performance. It's awesome to hear that you're into Van Halen...do you like Sammy's solo stuff at all? Any chance you're going to his show in San Diego on 5/5? I am...

SuperSwingDog - As I said in a previous post, I've not tried other Wah's, so I can't compare it to anything. When fatape can make it around and give it a go, he will let you know what he thinks. I like the sound and am having fun with it. I think the RRP in Australia is $400 but I picked mine up for $300. Was it worth it? Yes, I'm a satchaholic, would have paid whatever they asked. The guy's at the local Music shop really look after fatape and myself. We can go in and just help ourselves to basically anything we want. they even created an account for as and put 5 cents credit on them. So now when any new Joe/Vox pedals come in they go straight on our accounts to secure them for us. Then they get annoyed because they don't get to try the new pedals before there sold.

Do The Stu - thanks for the welcome, although I've been here for a long time. ;) Well, I know I've been here since at least 2000 if not before, since my pictures from the Anaheim EOC show are on the site. I mostly tend to lurk around these parts except when big things start to happen, like now.
I won't make it down to San Diego on the 5th but I've seen Sammy on his solo tours a few times. Always a fun show - the dude knows how to entertain and have fun. I don't suppose there'll be a surprise appearance by Joe and the rest of Chickenfoot? That'd be pretty cool.
I'm really curious to see what other songs they play to fill out the setlist. Presumably a song or two from each band member's past work, plus some covers. If they do any Sammy-era VH, it'd be really interesting to hear Joe's take on Eddie's stuff. I know Joe could handle it easily from a technical standpoint, but it does seem a little weird to think about him playing that stuff.
Random note - I'm currently listening to Oz Noy, another instrumental guitarist (at the suggestion of Eric Johnson in a recent interview he did). A little more on the jazz/rock fusion side of things than straight ahead rock. Really interesting stuff!

scubadaz - This is what I sort of want. I will be taking this idea and adding a few others I have seen.
" If I was a builder, I'd build a pedal board. If I were a builder, I'd probably have a SAAAAWWWW."

Ozzy Fudd that pedalboard looks nice
A bit of Google and you find lots of ideas
If you read a dozen articles and watch some videos you will get a clear vision of what you want your pedalboard to offer. And check this out. I really like the V-shaped ones.
