Wonder if Sammy or Chad thought about shavin Joes chest n arm hair "LIVE" b4 the RHCP tracks lmfao

I LOVE THAT SONG!!

Holy geez this show is gonna be sooo much fun!!

Maybe I'm a Leo?

lol!

Hey Joe cant wait til you come to MEMPHIS (hint)

Get the F*** out! I go to youtube to listen to Maybe I'm a Leo, and the first one I click on turns out to be Joe playing Maybe I'm A Leo with Deep Purple!!

lmao!!!

and there's Joe playing Highway Star!

LOL!

Al, I'll get the F*** out, but I'm taking you with me!

I was just listening to a mix cd of Joes songs with vocals and a lot of em would be great with Sam.

GG2- Best of luck with the doctors. [b r]

Scuba- How did the interview go?

Skippy-Recovered from the bike ride?

Chelle- Thanks for the vid link.

Austin- Hows it goin?

Satriella- The amps didn't go to eleven,..They were acting like they were on acid. I would dub a lead over the rhythm tracks and it would be like I was playing behind meter half a beat.

Ozzy- Good lookin'pedal board.

All the rest o you T2Jers have a wonderful evening, I'm beat..talk again in the mornin'..Skippy- the usual again for breakfast but add a protein shake for me.

Burly, I have the opening bass riff to My Name Is Mud as my son's ring tone when he calls my cell. lol!

He's a bass player and likes Primus. lol!

DotheStu--I'm still groovin' on the acoustic version of Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness---indecribably beautiful! Yeah, I would be cool if Joe surprised us with the song while on tour with CF!

A different way to get the days news: salon.com AND a week's worth: PBS.org/Bill Moyers Journal

Eire is in troubles and so is the rest of the world with it---how have we gotten so far into such a sucky financial mess unless the bank execs had some greedy plot to rake in all the money at the expense of average working people who make an honest living and hope everyone else is doin' the same...just goes to show we need regulations, regulators and watchdogs to protect the interests of the average wage earner........Damn, why are we allowing greedy execs rape and ravage our investments, bank accounts.......modest earnings. What's wrong with "share the wealth?" The tightwad execs don't give a damn about the average wage earner.......the big shots don't care if we live or die........Die and they get even more material wealth to rake in!!! Shits!! And I'm facing what no human being should ever have to face with a spouse---Ffinngg...Brain Surgery!!! ;-(

Wow Highway star. The music I grew up with. My favourite musician playing what was my favourite band back in the early 70's. I even playbacked 'Black Night' in secondary school at a party :-)

MIPA = Musikmesse International Press Award

I bought a second hand LIne6 JM4 looper. Jammin' my ass of. Great fun. I'll put a track on Myspace soon.

Joe - Awesome news...glad to hear rehearsal went well. Highway Star isn't a song I would have thought to pick as a possible Chickenfoot cover, but now that I think about it, well, I can't wait to hear it. :-)

Also, I got a kick out of the Highway Star bootleg video. I think it's funny how often it turns out the people filming the shows aren't huge fans and don't realize who takes what solo when. I love how the camera zooms in on Joe while he's playing rhythm under Jon Lord's lead, haha.

I have a small collection of Aerosmith bootleg videos, and it's quite common for the camera to zoom in on Joe Perry when Brad Whitford is soloing. Oh well...

Austin, let me tuck you into bed before I go to work... *tuck*tuck*. Sleep tight honey :-)

T, I think I'm gonna need a couple extra feet, cause I'm gonna have to break off more than one. lmao!!

Happy Tuesday everybody!

Skippy- Tuck all the Aussies into bed. Ozzy tired from all the jigsawing.

Michelle- My little bro was always into Primus,..fun band

My daughter says Highway Star is quite difficult on Guitar Hero. I have always liked that song, glad to hear Chickenfoot will be covering it.

Deep Purple story- Back in the late 80s I had taken little bro back to the airport in St. Louis. This was back before 911 and you could still walk back to the terminal. I was on my way out and in a bit of a hurry to get out of there, walking out of an almost deserted corridor, ( uncommon for STL) I saw a tall bearded man with long hairwalking toward the terminal pushing a large luggage rack. He was with an oriental woman. I remember thinking,"He looks very familiar"..As I walked past them ,they were giving me a look like" He knows who I am." Like I said, I was in a hurry and walked right on past them, turning to look around a couple of times and them turning back to look at me,. I guess they could see the puzzled look on my face. I said" That has to be John Lord". Sure enough, I got back in the car turned on KSHE 95 and the DJ say's " Great show last night for Deep Purple".

Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Double blue baby, yeah!!!!!!!!!!

So glad to have you back with us for just a sec, I so wish I could see Chickenfoot - but I will be there in spirit and sitting on the virtual bus next to Pip, on top of fatape and under Dream3 and Ozzy, in T Safley's pocket and perched on Michelle's head like an aura.

burly- a quick *tuck*tuck* to put the Aussies to bed, and then good morning to YOU honey, hope the oatmeal is juuuuussstttt right :0). Recovered from the bike ride well, went to the footy later that day.

Do The Stu - I figured you must have been leaving your job, hope you find something fantastic soon - any opps with all the internet sites etc? Got your own blog? Did you read the Time Machine stuff?

scuby - just sayin' hi, hope the job interview went OK.

Glitzy - good luck for all those races, you are the nicest runner I think I ever met on the 'net :0) not that I have met any others....send us some pics pleez.

GG2 - hope all went well with the docs.

You know it's funny now when I listen to music on the radio (not often) all those songs I used to think were incredible and I thought the band or guitarist was magic, now don't actually sound that hard (since I now know a few chords) e.g. Skyhooks - used to think Red Symonds was amazing but his guitar now sounds quite basic.

Ozzy - oh right, I bet you got a story about Skyhooks now huh? :0)

JOE - luv you mate, come to Australia you can all stay at my house!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you see the Deep Purple/Satch bootleg vid CD that sold on evilbay a couple of days ago for $200+ USD? Wonder if roo bought it.................

Hi Joe...wow Highway star eh! Well i will certainly be singing along to that one if you play it in london...grew up with that song!

Ozzyfudd - Jeepers...bosses are so cheeky sometimes...thinking you dont have a life of your own and your world revolves around them...grrr...well what did you get at the music shop?

Oh by the way guys...I had another Homer simpson moment..

when i said I was older than joe...I just didnt read it right...Sept 18 1970 was the day he decided to be a guitarist...so I guess he was kinda born then...but he was actually born July 15 1956 making him 10 years older than me!

Phew...

scuby - hope you get it, fingers crossed. Re Ten Words I'm up to that tricky bit from the YT vid - I have to change to the tab version from that point and I can't get the transition right, plus I suspect it will sound odd starting the song one way (with lots of slides) and then changing to just picking notes. I need to also find a vid of somebody playing the whole song where I can see their left hand clearly so I can get another perspective.

Thanks for the timeline reminder (not). I listen to Ten Words in the car everyday so it completely sinks into my brain and I keep thinking how the f**k will I ever get that solo other than extremely slowly :0). Having said that I do now have something, albeit short, that I can play to the kids who think it's pretty cool (but hey, they love me).

When is your next vid coming out? Which song can I expect?

Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives, girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general). These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup

LIST OF RULES

1. you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because: a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this... why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.
