Glitzy--I'm still practicing my acoustic Fender even when it growls at me! I don't think it appreciates my forgetting that it has 6 strings instead of 4 (as my violin from many years ago had). It says, "Hey, get with the program.....I have 6 strings and that means you have to look before you move that right hand! Stop bumping into strings that aren't called for! The A string is NOT the D string NOR is the D string the A string....get that through yer thick head ya luni!!! Sometimes, I think my guitar wants to kill ME! If the guitar ever grew legs and arms.....yikes! I'm freaking myself out!

Anyway, I'm practicing some songs that go from the low C to the 3rd fret on the high E.....my fingers are still not cooperating to form the F chord and I'm miffed at meself!!!

Blue Alan Moon--With Mother's Day in mind....this Sunday in the USA.......How many Mums do you have including me, Michelle and T. Safley??? @;-D

Goin t be a loooong night...have a childhood friends 40th birthday bash this Sat in Scotland, he,s not on this forum AT MO so i can say...cant wait t surprise the man.

I,ve been tailoring over a custom self put together Strat the last month t present him which has turned out amazing..who,d o thunk it! "slan rubs sweat from forehead" the man thinks because i live in Barcelona n having such a young son perpetualy ill "as lil bods get while in kinders one gets a cold then all get the parents etc etc" theres no chance of me getting home...but

My parents are MAJOR party peeps so between us we worked out a lil evil plan

Back the 12th

Blue Alan Moon--Cat Stevens has a better case i think

You got that right! I noticed the melody is so exact right about 3:37 for about a whole minute and then again at 4:50 on! And to think Cat is no longer Cat! I like the feline creatures...they give lots of affection mostly and have musical purrs that often sound like either a Harley-Davidson or a Mac Truck! Oh, not that KIND of cat....well, ok k.

Milli goes off into luniville again....blame it on the charms of Alan McKenna!!

My apologies to Cubester. ;-)

Scubadaz--Yes, it is!

well might aswell make use of this lovely post space... here's a picture of Vai ...or similar

Alan--That would be perfect for my new magazine BITS.....the opposite of HOOTERS magazine!!! LMAO!!!!

Austin - I don't mean to be picky, but my somewhat (very) tongue in cheek rhetorical Q was " is he by default also alleging that Joe plagiarised him as well?"

I was just having a bit of fun, I do it a lot.

I can see you take all things Joe (and other musical matters) very seriously and that's very cool, me i'm not so cool, more like a cynical old fart.

Keep rocking,

well Austin, true enough, I'll remember that next time then and spill the beans, lol!! I dint wanna rain on yer fun :)

Millie, what are u on about? I have never claimed to be mc's mother. He's got a very lovely one. I'm just his 'old woman retarded American friend', eh mc?

Matt K....seems yer keeping so busy, u just might be staying out of trouble....but somehow...I doubt it ;)

matt king - A space pirates rock musical? Well, that certainly sounds like something that has never been done before...haha. What a neat project... Can you post a link to the newest piece of music you've recorded, whatever it is?

I left my job at the newspaper about two weeks ago...they moved our office and offered a buyout in the process, so I took it. So I'm looking for work at the moment. It kinda sucks (OK, it really sucks), but I'm optimistic. :-)

michelle is still around here...I don't think Paul Clark or ovation1/Mike have posted in a long time, though. I have Mike's email address...maybe I'll send him a note to see what he's up to...

I do appreciate the humor though... And I promise you I don't take EVERYTHING seriously...go back and read some of my April Fools posts here. ;-)

Joe - so it's Chickenfoot because that was the name of sammy's first ever band? Really really??

Good to see you around here so much lately.... have you ever met Ben Stiller by the way?

Joe Interview... you'll want to listen from 1 hour 5 minutes

Here's a cool PIC from it too, but no larger version I'm afraid

Cheese - thanks for posting those Bone interview vids. Wahoo - the bone rock girly... she seem nice : )

Michelle - holy carp, that's a mighty set of lyrics (Metallica). I reckon that's tellin' it like it is! Did they write that at/about someone in particular? Cool that your fella's job is safe.

Ozzy Fudd - those rehearsal photos you posted were great. Love the WTF one from Joe, hil-ar-ee-oose!

skippy - you missed another Joe item? You're losing your knack! ; b Just teasin. How's Ten Words going (better when I have the guitar room set up she says)?

Cappy Steve - welcome back. How's things, and glad to hear the Mrs is on the mend

Kayla - congrats

Scuba - good footage there. Nice to see peeps stop to help with the GN Vitese crash. I have driven a 67, and a 68 from memory, and probably 57 too? Oh, & Joe mentions me on one of the vids on Stu's channel : )

goest - I expect you'll find it's not Simon Cowell's sort of music and therefore he'll say no, but you never know. You can find the relevant books in any good music store, or at the stores website, or try amazon, ebay etc. They'll also have some mention of the relevant effects in there as well. For all three of those I'd say mild overdrive and delay are going to be involved.

Guitarvibes / Burly - LMAO, I forgot about Larry Bill.... and will this come back to haunt CP.... "I bet Chris regrets what he said to Rolling Stone mag in 2005: “We’re good, but I don’t think we’re that original. I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists."

Blue Moon - where are you digging up those photos. Cool stuff.... apart from an almost naked stevey on his tractor, that's just wrong LOL

Igneous - Time machine I believe has the 1st string tuned down to D. Live I think Joe went with standard tuning, other than for the Time Machine promo stuff. I did mine in standard tuning. Did you see Lance slightly messed up with Twitter? His video about it is pretty cool

Do The Stu - LMAO, this is great... "the bonus that came with the Guitar Center version of PSATMOR is a DVD...it features about a second and a half of yours truly. Oh, and then there's video of three live songs from the SWTA anniversary tour, and some making-of PSATMOR footage...if for some reason you're interested in what that Satriani guy is doing .... Thanks for the Sammy review... must be a CF one next?

Alexandrea - congrats man & hope you can fix the JS issue

... here's another old Joe photo...

Joe - do you remember this one?

The night of the day we first met, and you asked me ? for a favour... what an odd but amazing day, and for things to play out like that.

A stand out memory for me!

Thanks Joe!

MJK in the house! Hiya honey! I'm still here. Did you get Chickenfoot tix for any of the May shows?

Pip, not sure. I'm thinking somebody else wrote it. Can't think today. Had a migraine earlier, so my brain is on crutches now. lol!

Alan, you drunkin' bastid. lmao! Can't wait to see yer never again post tomorrow. Glad you had a good time...and are still having one. lol!

T, I'll throw ya an email.

Did anyone who signed up for the CF fan club get their t-shirt yet?

Just wondering...

nope, no shirt in sight.....and I still can't get Fanfire to work with me on the duplicate fan club fiasco...they haven't responded to any email beyond the initial one saying "send us your order number"....I've sent twice and nada.

=|

I love having a friend on the Eastern side of the country, I already know who got voted offa American Idol and it's not even on here fer another hour and a half, LOL!!

Slan....sounds like your friend is very fortunate in having you for a friend :)

Do The Stu--You are right on, man! Al needs to give us mum types a nod and a wink now and again....and a nice prezzy at least once or more.

Tracie--The adjective I would use instead of "retarded" is "Paeliolithic" to describe us doting "mature" women.

Michelle--You, Tracie and I need to form a pact with Alan's biological mom to keep him from falling out of whatever he may fall out of.....so he doesn't hurt himself and cause excruciating pain to his loved ones!

Blue Alan--Please, please, please don't hurt yerself, because I will feel it all the way over here in Cali!!!!! I'm glad yer having a crazy good time and even though I'm Paeliolithic....I still love you!! I would be yer adopted mom if it's ok with you.
