What's the gray/red pedal on Joe's board in the picture that Keniko posted (between the POG and the Satchurator)?

I saw that at the LA gig and thought it might have been Joe's next Vox prototype? I meant to say something about it back then but it slipped my mind.

And I got your email...I'll reply in a moment.

I don't know if Joe has ever used the Chickenfoot picks like Sammy and Mikey. He was using his own picks at the shows I saw, and those were the third and fourth...to early in the tour for him to have run out.

Do you remember when/for what song(s) Mikey used his Jack Daniels bass? He didn't play it at either CA show.

Aaand (sorry for all the questions) when is the next NY show? We don't have an official tour announcement yet, but if I know when they'll be in NY I can guess when they'll be in CA.

All that i know about Strat is that i'm gonna to change picks up. But i don't know yet if i'm gonna to take the Jeff Beck noiseless, or the Fender noiseless.

I expect Chickenfoot to do Oh Yeah, as it's the radio single. I don't think the crowd will do much singing along, though, so Sammy might look a bit weird during the chorus. I think Soap On A Rope might come across better on TV.

Personally, I'd love to see the band play My Kinda Girl. I've mentioned it before here, but I think this song could be a great summer single. Maybe it's too early to be pushing that now, though...I wonder if they could get on Letterman to do that for the next US leg?

Do The Stu- Thats the voodoo vibe-heres everything youd want to know about it..its basically a Chorus, Vibrato or Tremolo

..Chad mentions it in one of the vids but i cant recall...i dont see the ultimate octave..though i havent heard it with chickenfoot yet.

I think it was Turning Left that Mike used the JD Bass

and you can see a chickenfoot pick..i didnt know Joe didnt use them =(

I bought this cool hat for Joe..the balls on top flash led's...lol i guess Joe wasnt interested but Mike grabbed it and wore it for a moment...i would have gotten a great kick seeing Joe wear it...i think its freekin cool...Chad was eyeing it..lol

fooking Brits....

Must be hilarious to hear parents ordering their kids to do their local geography and history homework?

Would not like to be the village idiot though...... And for once, the municipal taxes are aptly named.....

Whelp, I been gettin updates all day from chelle...they've had an interesting time so far, checked out several of the bars near the venue lookin fer refreshments and sustenance and relief from the rain...yes...RAIN!!!

When they first got to the venue, around 3ish I think? there was no one in line, so off they toddled...and when they came back there were 20 peeps in line!!! She said it became complete chaos at one point, bet that was when the doors opened....

But then all is good....she's inside, 2nd row right between Joe and Sammy, and some opening act is on stage at the mo....she dunt know who it is but sent me a pic, LOL....

Oops.....it was a false alarm, Chad ran on stage after the opening act, but the rest of the guys dint follow, LOL.....

I went to Guitar Center this morning. Tried out a Pearl Demon double bass pedal. WOW! I never realized pedals made that much difference. That thing is super sensitive. I ordered a DW 3000 double off Ebay which DW is known for thier smooth operation. I just hope it is half as smooth as the Demon.

Skippy- I am working on compiling some pictures to put together a MySpace page. My plans are to link them with my existing duck hunting site beaverdamduckhunts.com which is supposed to be updated by my designer already. I don't know what's up there. I am also working on another website for another business. I plan to link them all together to a My Space project which will allow me to keep my customers updated. I will also have a music page and hopefully get into posting some vids. You know strangely not many photos of me exist I guess because I am always the one with the camera. I promise they are coming as soon as I get time to work on it.

Looks like I wont make the jam session tomorrow nite :-( because I will be back in the field :-) :-) That's a double big smile. But I did restring my RG this evening in case I get a chance to sneak off early.

Good nite everyone. Best wishes.

I think I need to pay Pip or Mckenna to record some backing tracks for my vids. Those guys can come up with 5 recordings before I can do 1. I recorded an original and finally faded it out @ less than 2 minutes because I was exhausted. At that rate I'll have a vid on My Space by 2012 LOL. I want to set up triggers on my drums to record the drum tracks myself. I did find a guy who builds a nice trigger but it requires either leaving the bottom head off or drilling holes in the shells to accomodate the large jacks. If I go that route I will probably just by some crappy old drums and not drill the DLXs. After all the triggers and module will make a coffee can sound great.
