Guitarvibes- Yeah I love Ed but get pissed at him quite a bit. I often wonder why some groups have such a good thing going and just can't keep it together. Kinda like any relationship I reckon. In a way I understand how difficult it is to keep a band together you would expect something as huge as Van Halen to endure. I guess much the same with a lot of big groups, Beatles, Doobie Bros. Police just to name a few.

For now Chickenfoot is my salvation for Sammy and Mike.

I would buy a guitar album from EVH...yes that would be nice.

Yeah...that's one of the things that bugs me most about Eddie. If he wants to play with his son, fine. Record an instrumental album and do a G3 tour with Wolfgang and Alex backing you for fun. Don't kick your bass player of 30 years out of your main band and then say he "left", just like you kicked out the lead singer who "left" almost 15 years ago.

I love Van Halen, and Eddie is one of my favorite guitarists...but, man. The guy has supposedly been writing songs nonstop for the past decade, but we haven't heard anything. And he keeps pushing back the date when he'll supposedly start working on his next album.

While I was waiting in line at the Fillmore for the Chickenfoot gig, I asked Tracie and our group whether we thought we'd get the second Chickenfoot album before the next Van Halen album. Most of 'em seemed to think we'd get a third Chickenfoot album before anything from VH. That's probably right...and you know what? I think I'll be happier with that, anyway...

Good morning to Footday everyone in the US!! We have to wait till next Fri 12th for JB HiFi to get their act together.

Do The Stu - check your dm in Twitland, hope you get your CD signed by the guys. Bugger we can't get the Tonight Show here but hopefully someone will post it on youtoob, or better still if some T2Jers could post a report it will still be Sat afternoon here. Austin can you tweet from the instore pretty pleez, pics would be great?

burly - morning mate, sounds like the crops are coming along just fine, if you get the chance to whisk Mrs burly off to a CF weekend (hey she can always shop!) wouldn't that be wonderful?? You'll get 2 tours before we even get one.

Well at least we have a long weekend here so 3 days off woo hoo. Huge family BBQ tomorrow so I'll see my bro and play guitar with him, I hope I can play Father and Son and he actually recognises it ;0).

There is a recent interview in Rolling Stone with Eddie Van Halen. Reading Do the Stu's post made me laugh. Because he was talking about how much music he has been writing. I think if he had that much going on in the studio, he would have produced something by now. The interviewer asked him if he had heard of chickenfoot and he said no...i don't listen to music.

Do the Stu - DMB is on the Today Show and Chickenfoot is on the Tonight Show. Good Footday.

Someone emailed me this and it's already uploaded elsewhere so here's the link to a joke.....

ha ha Dustin Hoffman

Back to check posts later... have a great day everyone

EVH may not be a 100 watt bulb BUT he did have a masterful plan... "Hmmmmm, if I give the kid a job, no more child support payments PLUS, maybe the kid's presence back stage will help keep me on the straight and narrow!"

YAY...Can pick up me Chickenfoot album tomorrow!

Jeepers sometimes things just make ya mad....got yet another solicitors bill yesterday taking the total to £1,300 for this divorce and we haven't even got to court yet...and its taken over a year so far....and there is the headline...Jordans divorce final in six days! grrrrr

Burly - Clappers may have to take a back seat....gotta learn those chickenfoot songs off by heart...only three weeks till the gig!

glitz - wish I had more time to really take notice of whats going on on here with people...but I just aint got the time! how you doin? LOL cant say that without thinking of Joey

HI JOE - hey .... I was watching the enw Iron Maiden Documentary yesterday....there was this guy on their...some sort of priest who basically uses Iron Maiden lyrics as parts of his sermon, but anyway hehas 166 Maiden Tattoos! Mad eh.....in the nicest way...mad as in WOW! Whats the maddest fan you have met of yourself in the same WOW way?

For those who haven't yet gotten the CD or vinyl:

Chickenfoot is $3.99 at Amazon MP3 but does NOT include the bonus track (Bitten By The Wolf).

Learning to Fly is my fav at the moment.

Good luck at Best Buy all those going there. Can't wait to see Foot on tonight show, can someone record it and send me a linky please?

Happy Footday (again)!

FYI, it turns out you need a wristband to get into the Best Buy signing...so if you don't have one yet you might want to call to make sure they still have some before you head over there.

:-)

It's so cool to finally have this...there are so many little things on the album that aren't audible on the songs we've been able to stream. I also think the singles sound much better as a part of an album instead of on their own.
