Does anyone know if there's a two-ticket limit on fanclub presale ticket purchases tomorrow? I know that was the case for the Road Test tour, but I don't see any limit mentioned anywhere this time around.

Also, I thought I saw the ticket packages had a two ticket limit, but I'm looking now and don't see any restriction there either.

I might be traveling to a show (Chicago?) but I'd need three tickets...if I can't get them during the presale I'll wait until the regular on-sale.

I can understand why the Road Test tour had a limit, but I don't think this tour needs one.

Anyone?

Pip, I did take some vids and stuff of Chris, I'll get them up on my youtube here eventually :) He did pretty darn good! And u shud be afraid.......

Austin....we'd all like ta know the answer to that question too, as well as what are the packages this time around so we don't make more silly mistakes....aaaaaand what the other show dates are gonna be. When I first read the premium ticket packages it said two-ticket limit on those. Soooo, yer guess is as good as mine about the regular tix. And presale is supposed to be tomorrow, WE NEED INFO!!!

It would be nice to get my fan club t shirt too, or t-shirts since I don't think my double fanclub membership ever got fixed. Fanfire so often does a piss-poor job with their customer service!! Sigh.....

It's Les Paul's birthday today.

Joe and Les from October '08

Just saw a story on CNN about Joe and Coldplay. I do hope Cat Stevens realizes that the similarities between his song and Joes song are minimal compared to the similarities of Joes song and Coldplays song.

Yes there is a decent similarity between the melodies and some of them musical verses....but rhythms are different and the vocal melody is nothing like it and totally different tempo.

Want to stop a few with speed solo & 4/4?

Do the Stu - I really like Shake Me like a Monkey. But I am not really sure about the rest of the album. Of course I am an infant when it comes to my knowledge of DMB, so I don't have a ton to compare it to. So how cool was the signing at Bestbuy overall? Did Mikey and Sammy shoot the bull with you or were you getting rushed through as quickly as possible?

I was listening to the cd on my way home the other night with the top down...and I was listening to My Kind of Girl, and I was thinking, Man, this is kick ass summer time rock! DTS, it really is great driving music.

I've been following the Chickenfoot thing with interest. It looks like everyone is having great fun - and if thats the purpose - great. However, as a rock band, its just not organized or good (together) enough. I think Joe should be driving that band to something more unique and melodic. Joe is key to his own success here and can become the huge star he always should have been. As tough as it is - he is the one that has to focus and drive it forward if they are to last. I know its a pilot but it has a lot of potential to really make that type of rock music popular again.

Just my thoughts.

I got a Chickenfoot tour email a few minutes ago (I'm sure we all did) and it doesn't say anything about fanclub ticket limits during the presale. So I'll assume we're OK. When someone (Tracie? michelle?) buys tickets for an east coast show tomorrow, can you let us know if there are any restrictions? Thanks!

The journalism nerd in me needs to tell you that "of" isn't needed, so all you need to say is something like "the painting contains myriad colors". See, I have to do this on T2J when I don't have a job...haha. ;-)

On Aerosmith, yeah, it really bugs me that they don't really write music together anymore. It also bugs me that they go on tour each summer instead of working on a new album. It stinks, but I'll take this instead of the alternative (nothing).

This is random, but I'll share my favorite Steven Tyler vocal performance. It's not from an Aerosmith song, but from Elmopalooza, a CD of Sesame Street songs performed by pop and rock stars that was released about 10 years ago. Steven sang I Love Trash.

I love the studio version of Bitten By The Wolf...I think it came across a bit sloppy live, but it sounds great on the album. My problem now is I can't decide whether I like the album with BBTW at the end, as a bonus, or between Down The Drain and My Kinda Girl like when they played live. I wish all of life's problems were this difficult. ;-)

I've been out there twice since then, and on one trip I took a photo of what the rest of the block looks like. And here was my meal...delicious milkshake!

As an aside, I now have autographs of all three former members of Van Halen (I met Gary Cherone at a Who tribute gig he did with Mike Portnoy, Paul Gilbert, and Billy Sheehan a few years ago).

I love the Chickenfoot album, but I do see lots of room for improvement...I hope we get another album or two from them soon. I'll post more in-depth thoughts later, but basically I'd like to see Sammy step it up a bit with his lyrics, and I'd like to see him play guitar on the album as well. And I'd like something with a bit more of a "live" feel...I think I can hear where most overdubs are on the album, and that bugs me a bit.

Thanks Austin - I keep looking in. Hope you (and everyone else on the site) is doing well

Al, you share yer birthday with a lot of famous peeps - including Freddie Prinze, Meryl Streep, & Todd Rundgren

*I* get to share a birthday with Joe Jonas & Napoleon Bonaparte. yay?

I missed it, but Brett Michaels broke his nose and busted his lip on this awards show the other night. LOL! OW!

Joe-

I love the new Chickenfoot album. The band sounds great like everyone is having a great time. When I hear Sammy's comments about you I feel like he understands what all of us Satch fans have known for years. Seeing you, Sammy, Mike, and Chad make such great music together is like watching friends from different stages in my life become friends themselves.

My only complaint is that you have no shows scheduled for the Baltimore/DC area. We would love to have you here. If not, I will do my best to make the trip to see you. If you do schedule a show here, please bring the guys to Walter Reed to visit the soldiers.

Yeah, we already heard it - Girls just wanna have fun. lmao!!!

Ya left it open ally!

Ozzy_Fudd: YES! How did you guess? :)

Pip: OMFG NO! Vegemite is one of a kind - Yeah Baby!

MMMmmmmmmmmm Vegemite......

Death Cube K (Fudd): Differwent? You Wascally Wabbit!

And NOW........

Drum Roll Please!.........................

DRLLLLLLELLRLlrlrlrlrlrlrlrldldllrlrldldlrlrldllrrllddllrlrlr....

Ok, that sucked... sorry, I'm not a drummer! badoom-tish!

..

Anyhoo - GUESS WHAT!

My first iPhone app got published!!! Woohoo, and what's even better is when you search the itunes store for Satriani or Chickenfoot it appears right there next to everything!! Woohoo. (Double Woohoo!)....

Check it out: "RooSatch" for Random Roo Satriani Collection Items - ON YOUR iPhone!

Any suggestions to improve the app, please email to me.

I'm working on the next one now that will be very cool for all Satchers.

Oh, and if you search for "chickenfoot" on the iPhone appstore, you ONLY get my app!

Woohoo to the power of 3!

If any of you decide to download it, please be kind and post a nice review, it can only help.

Pip- That's a cool feature for a phone
Vegemite looks really really nasty to me but I am intrigued enough by it to try it one day. Of course when I get ready to try I will need to ask the Aussies advice again on which kind of bread is best.

On Aerosmith- Ya know I figure the creative stream has to slow down to a trickle after so many years of song writing. Same with Sammy, He has written a lot of songs, and pretty soon to be able stay afloat I would thing you would have to outsource material. I say if it keeps them touring and putting on fantastic shows, it's OK with me.

Mark L,Cool little jazz thing there. It's good to expand ur boundaries.

Roo- Yes I thinks some of the girls may be needing a cold shower. After Chelles comment and I forget who it was yesterday that was talking about Steve Vai's angular features.

Joe- Michelle requests more butt shaking and hip gyrations from yourself on any upcoming videos.

Al- My little bro was really into the RHCPs. What was the original guitarist name? John Frusciante? Yeah I'm a little grossed out at the hand washing thing too...I know folks like that. Good ppl otherwise...just don't want them making me a sandwich :-0

Pip - Yes the opening line to Down the Drain sounds a lot like "Give it Away".

I like THIS version

Sorry 'bout that

I do like RHCPs

Skippy- Back to work after the long weekend?

WEBMASTER For we who are afraid of using a credit card online, would it be possible to set up the Chickenfoot and Joe stuff for PAYPAL? I would have already joined the fanclub if I could use PAYPAL. And one of those cool CHICKENFOOT bucket hats. and probably more.

I really want to see one of these shows. Austin- I can't believe they haven't added St Louis.

Good night all
