hybes - That's awesome...we posted at the same time, and we're saying the same thing!
I'm also listening through headphones, of course.

Do the Stu - LOL. It is really a lot better through the headphones. I agree, the songs put together on the whole CD are really better. Musically this cd really kicks ass. Very glad it's finally here.

"We need music to survive" by Karl Paulnack is for everyone really!!
DotheStu--I got my red CF T shirt from the fan club membership via Fanfire.
BestBuy.com says my CF CD was shipped this week and it should arrive any day now.
My guitar lesson with Ry on Wednesday was so cool. He asked me if I saw the movie, "Crossroads" with Steve Vai playin' the part of the devil. I said I only saw a trailer of it and what was posted here a couple months ago. He said I have to see it so I ordered it over Netflix. Ry wants me to practice more, a tall order with all the distractions going on in my life!
I'm practicing ZZ's Song......heavenly triplets and power chords! Joseph--this song touches my heart like no other!
Michelle, Tracie, Al Mc, Igneousice, Scubadaz, Glitzman, Castle49, burly, roo, Pip Satrini, fatape, SkippyGirl, Satriella--I am so far behind on reading posts, but I will get there! I am determined!
JS1000JS1200--Believe me, I figured out how clueless the US is/was when I was a kid--when I found out a whole segment of the US population wasn't allowed to vote until the civil rights act of 1964!!!
F**king bizarre!!! ;-/

The new album is everything I hopes it would be. Came home from work, downloaded the Amazon version, cracked open a cold brew and tossed the headphones on!
This CD won't leave my car's player all summer...

Hi Joe... I'm an old fan, haven't really listened to much instrumental rock since you put out Time Machine (which I bought two copies of). The new stuff you've down with Chickenfoot is blowing me away.
I was thinking the guitar might get too much in the way, or might be too tight.. but man, this- this is the best rock I've heard in at least a decade! This is infectious, I can't get-it-out-of-my head, good sh!t
Looking forward to seeing you guys on tour, but I have two request:
1. Please get in at least two solo spots. I mean when Hagar was in Van Halen I know there was only one guitar solo in the set, but then again... All Eddie had one solo (Eruption) and he played it every night. You have an entire catalog of incredible instrumentals, please break into a few of them!
2. Can you guys play a few Van Hagar era covers? Maybe some Zep, I don't know.... With a true supergroup I think a lot of us are looking forward to the covers you pick to play.
Take care. What an awesome rebirth for all of you this is.

Well, it's time to head back to Best Buy for the signing tonight. I'm bringing my camera...I don't know what kind of pictures I'll be able to get, but I'll share them with everyone later.
And those of you on the east coast, let us west coasters know if any Chickenfoot-related stuff happens on the Tonight Show before the usual song at the very end. I'll tune in early, but only if I have to. ;-)

I'm thinking *really, really hard* that a Philly show will pop up in the September time slot...
Now...where did I put my diskman and headphones.....
I agree that the sound is so much better on the cd than what we've been listening to. I played the first two songs in my car while taking my daughter to work. I literally made her have the cd unwrapped and ready to go when I swooped by after work to take her to her job. I smiled the whole way there and back. lol! Then I sat in the garage and skipped songs just to hear what they sounded like. Get It Up has the best feckin chorus ever. lol! Then I brought the cd in the house and played it all the way through. Woweewoowoo!
agghhhh, I must find my headphones! lol!

this is pretty wild...I was just at Best Buy picking up my cd and one of the geek squad guys asks me if I am really into it or checking it out. Then he tells me that he was at the Grove when they played a couple months ago. Then he brings over another guy from the geek squad who you can see in the promotional video. One of those guys caught one of Chad's drum stick and the other one caught a pick from Joe. That's pretty crazy for a store that has like 40 employees in Yukon Oklahoma!

So me and my 2 little ChicKenheads opened the Best Buy this morning and got the first 2 copies out of the box. No mad rush, in fact we were the only ones there for it.
Amazing album.
I'm going to make a template of the ChicKenhead thing that you can print and staple to make your very own ChicKenhead! Those crude prototypes will pave the way for a very smooth finished product, anyone else feels motivated to make something go for it! Imagine how the band would feel if they walk out on stage one night and the audience is full of ChicKenheads? That would be classic!
Notice the shirt I'm wearing is 19 (that's right, I said19!) years old! On the back it says "Dreaming In A Blue World Tour 1990" when my Wife (then girlfriend) & I saw Joe here in Ottawa at the Congress Center for the first time.
smooches,

Hey Joe! Cant wait to see Chickenfoot. Checkout my good friend Mark Stanley from way back to high school. No need to say what decade that was. Anyway I remember him picking up the guitar at the age of 13 and within a year he was rocking the instrument. Over the years has developed a unique style from many influences. Check it out he is really good

Chris did great today, played for an hour and get this....one guy said if he'd brought a sharpie with him, he'da axed Chris for his autograph...he wanted him to sign his pants, LOL!!!
JOE....does that sound at all familiar?? As in, the guy in the audience back in Anaheim, April 2005 yelling at you onstage to sign his pants? I about split a gut when the guy said that today, LOL!!!
And Chris got asked to play some other gigs from people hearing him today....one is a city-wide event this summer! He's excited....and I'm very proud of him :)
Sooo...it's kinda sorta footday fer me...no cd, nowhere near the signing in LA...but I hope I stay up and awake tonight fer Chickenfoot on The Tonight Show....I'ma set an alarm in case I falls asleep!!

Hey everyone, the CF CD was here when I got home from work! My Steve put it in the CD player right away and had it on when I got home.......I love my man!!!
What a great heat sensitive album......I love the triangle with the three word message!
Turnin' Left kicks ass! Learning to Fall and Future In the Past do something to me that is tough to describe......just bring so many things together for me......remind me of good times......friends--human, feline, canine and equine!
If it weren't for Tracie, DotheStu, Michelle, Blue_Moon, Satriella, Anibur, SkippyGirl, fatape, Igneousiceman, mikesb, Slansslang, Castle49, Guitarvibes, Satchblues, roo, scubadaz, SuperSwingDog, ZincMaster, Keniko, GlitzMan, Ibanezplyr, and all the other great T2J ppls and Jon Luini and Joe and Steve Vai and Morse....I would be floundering in an ocean of my own tears without hope! Friends and friends of friends of friends of friends.......past, present and future!
Commodore Drake--What's new in Kansas besides that despicable murder in Witchita? ;-( Firearms mean death as far as I can see........that's why I don't own a gun...

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
