Hey People of the Foot! Just picked up the CD and LOVE it! Gotta go download the bonus track now. Great work Joe and Co!!!

Pip- I have a difficult time with 55 miles / hour. A few years back I got one of those nice letters from the State of Arkansas informing me that driving was a privilege and not a right and that mine soon might be taken away. Needless to say I spent the next few years on cruise control. All the negative points on my record have expired. Now I am back to my old ways. No matter how hard I try, I just can't stay near the speed limit. In Texas the speed limit is 70. I could live with that. 55 is like pulling my teeth with no anesthesia.

Skippy- Excellent idea.. She loves to shop. I am thinking I need to try to get to one of the shows from Aug 10 - Sept 1. The venues I am thinking are pretty small. I bet tickets will be a pain to get.

Ozzy- You and Fatape given up on your effects pedal business?

Austin- I couldn't recommend a Steely Dan Album to check out, and I am usually not a big fan of greatest hits albums. (usually because they purposely leave 1 song out so you will have to by another to get that song. But in this case it may be a good choice. "Aja" comes to mind as one of their bigger albums. Mikesb could probably point you in the right direction. The reason I asked you about Steely Dan is because your musical taste reminds me of a guitar player I was in a band with. I think you will like the stuff you don't hear on the radio.

Mikesb- "Got a case of Vegamite,...I could hold out here all night. Or maybe it was dynamite.

Do you Aussies really eat that stuff? (Vegamite) I may be spelling it wrong. I just remember it from Down Under

One to get stuck in your head all day long. Mexican Radio

OK, this sucks. I thought the bonus track was gonna be on the CD. When I realized it wasn't a hidden track I went to iTunes to download it and I can't d/l it as a track (I have to d/l the entire CD). Come on, this just can't be. Is this available to purchase individually?

Not really a guilty pleasure song but I did think the whammy work on the guitar solo was cool back in 82 Frida

burly, Vegemite Rules!

It's funny, but whenever an Aussie returns from overseas they almost always head straight for a toast with vegemite. It's hard to describe what it is, but it's awesome.

The best way to acquire the taste and enjoy it is a VERY thin scraping on a nice bread like turkish or sourdough toasted nicely.

Most newbies make the mistake of pasting it over bread or toast.

It has a great taste, believe me. :)

But I have heard of vegemite pizza, not sure about that one, but haven't tried it so I can't say if it's good or not.

Roo- Maybe I'll try it one day. It just looks really nasty.

Time for the Footday finale - The Tonight Show!!!

I'ma be sooo tarred at 5:00 a.m..........

But I love me some Joe and Chickenfoots - so I'll take that hit :-)

burly - yes we love that Vegiemite stuff but I can completely understand foreigners hating it. As roo says a thin smear on buttered toast is heaven.

Our house has been rockin' all afternoon and evening! Great album!!!!!!!! I'm with Michelle's post a day or two ago though - "Our Joe" isn't going to be ours after today. I'm pumped for him to be in a big-time band, but it's also a bit strange. Can't explain it. I don't post often, but do read good old T2J frequently and Joe's loyal satchaholics are the best! Great info. & insights here. The other day I was cleaning out my dresser and stumbled across my old T2J shirt with the yellow bar across the back for our user names to be written in black Sharpie, ha. I remember wearing it to The Filmore one show and meeting other T2J'ers.

I thnik the guys really mesh well with one another with Joe being the quiter calm one, Mike being the happy smiling one, and Chad & Sammy being the rambunctious one's.

Great chemistry, great band! Should help for a fun suumer!

I'm back from the signing...more on that in a minute.

First...if anyone in the LA area is reading this, can you record tonight's 11 p.m. NBC (channel 4) news broadcast? They were at the Best Buy signing and I was interviewed...I don't have a way to record TV here at my apartment. I'm not sure if I'll make it on the broadcast, as they talked to a lot of people, but it'd be nice to get a copy somewhere just in case.

Thanks...

That was fuckin' sweet!!!

HEY JOE - was that Will Farrell on the drums??

lmao!!

"I am not Will Ferrell" Classic!

Awesome performance guys! Great way to cap off the Footday!

Hey Joe, Watched Chickenfoot on Conan tonight. (OH YEAH!) Saw you gave another one of your Chickenfoot guitars away to Conan. How many of those things do you have!?! Haha!

Went to pick up the album today, the local music store was sold out! I'll just web order the vinyl. :P

Wish Chickenfoot would tour Texas but maybe another day... :(

All I can say is that performance on Conan was BAADDAASSSS!!! I loved all of it and I couldn't believe Joe gave Conan that guitar he was playing. Joe has a big heart than so many people, especially some musicians.

Do The Stu: Congrats on getting interviewed and the signings. Hope you will get shown on television.

GoldenGirl2: Thank you for the praises and I thank you and Steve for your loyalty and being good friends to me as well.

Cheese101: Congrats to Chris on his gigs. Looks like we will see a future Joe in him. Don't feel bad, my CD and Vinyl hasn't arrived yet.

Michelle: I was thinking the same thing about Chad, but he also had that Conan wig on. Hope work goes well for you in the morning.

Joe & Chickenfoot: Great performance. Chad, excellent job on the drums & great "Will Ferrell/Conan" look. Michael, I enjoyed your bass/guitar playing. Nice job on the backup vocals. Sammy, way to go on singing "Oh Yeah." All I could say was "OH YEAH!" Joe, I praise you on your guitar playing. Now I know why you have such a huge heart when you gave Conan that guitar you were playing. Congrats to you all!

I got today off and speaking of Joe, I went to one of our local arcades and played Surfing With The Alien on Guitar Hero (twice). That was so much fun.

Solid Performance on the Tonight Show. Im happy you guys sang the song live :) Very good performance and if it wasnt for my stupid exams i would have came to see your toronto concert The chicken foot guitar is awesome.. did you actually let him keep it?

Btw i dont know if it was just the fact im sooooo used to your old sound but.. When you were playing it sounded kinda weird.. I picked out the effects but.. what did you have running (dont say your fridge ;) ) I already bought your cd its great... No... it aint great... its better than that... its FINGER LICKING GOOD!! (KFC joke...woooow)

It was great to see you again, Joe! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me a bit, even though the Best Buy people were pushing everyone along as fast as they could. And Mick, if you're reading this, it was nice to see you again too.

Joe was first at the table and then I made my way down the line...Mike was next, then Chad, and Sammy was on the other end.

Chad remembered me from the Roxy gig!

As I was making my way along he screamed "HOW did you know all the words?" I think I mentioned this here after that show, but I was up front at the Roxy and Chad was making faces at me while I was singing along to everything. He threw me a stick and gave me a pick from Sammy as a result...I had him sign the stick tonight.

Backing up a bit... I got to Best Buy around 5 p.m. for the 8 p.m. signing, and the line was much longer than it was at a comparable time for the Chickenfoot gig at the Roxy last month. This wasn't a gig and it involved fewer people, but it was crowded earlier? I'll never figure out crazy LA people...haha.

I took a few pictures of the line outside, but as cosmic_ape said, they didn't allow cameras inside. They had a lot of Chickenfoot ads everywhere, and the band was playing on all the TVs in the store. They had tape on the floor directing us where to go for the signing...the markings alternated between arrows and Chickenfoot logos, which I thought was a nice touch.

Anyway... Conan is on now...I watched the news before this and they only gave about 15 seconds to Chickenfoot. The anchor didn't even mention Joe's name on air...argh!

Not that late here in Honolulu. Chickenfoot really ought to consider playing at the Waikiki Shell later this year - I saw Hendrix there twice.

There are only 2 critical Steely Dan records - The Royal Scam was the last of the gritty, followed by Aja which was the first of the polished. Both are important.

Pay attention to the Chickenfoot site next Monday for tour and ticket information.

Axeshredder - thanks for posting the vid from the Tonight Show - we peeps down under really appreciate it.

Austin - did you manage to say hi from me?

I'm up and dressed, but not sure if I'm functioning. lol! Couldn't fall asleep until around 1:30, and had to wake up at 5:00 for work. I might have slept better if Sammy wouldn't have been yelling 'GET IT UP!" in my head all night. lol! Maybe I shouldn't have listened to the cd so many times. lol! Anyways, it's all good, and I got my Foot fix.

The clip might be up on Conan's website. I think they have full episodes there too.

Jayzus I'm tired. lol!

T - good luck today getting the cd.
