The "best new band" category begins at 3:45. Nigel Tufnel mentions ours.

I saw them two nights in a row in Anaheim on the Vertigo tour and they were amazing...some of the best concerts I've ever seen. My webcast interview with Joe was just a week or two after those shows, at a smaller theater just a few blocks away from the arena where U2 played.

Joe seemed really interested in the shows...I guess he hasn't ever been able to see them in concert.

Roo - Nice job with the Apps. Unfortunately I can't donate to your cause as I do not own an iphone. I do have a 1st generation touch but the only time I'm around a wi-fi connection with it I have my compouter. Someday when I break away from T-Mobile I may try one out though.

Do the Stu - Thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense now. I was sitting there watching that special on NBC and I was amazed at how fast the journalists pulled those stories together! Duoh!

Blue Moon - At least the beer guy was close by.

Burly - Are any of your crops able to grow in this heat??? My gosh. It's here early this year.

To say all, it's a sad day to try the SL-20.

So,

Vids have started.... I need one that lasts slightly longer than Joe getting the camera out

But you get to see the end of show antics with Chadster

Chickenfoot

... and I couldn't spell antics... shocker

axeshreddjrc - killer video. Thanks. Chad is nuts!!

hi, joe, today we have lost Michael Jackson. it is very sad to me though he did not make the music i listened to.

so many thoughts are passing through my mind about loss of michael jackson. but first thing about this was to consider, learn about the people i most care about.

i must cut it, it..

the first thing i thought about was your conditions. i cannot take this thing i write away from a letter. thus, see below for the conclusion:

i hope you are alright. you are young and i know that you take care of yourself well.

oh dear.. i cannot shake the attitude of being fan.

anyway, i am from turkey. i was at your concert in turkey, and i felt sad about the audience in the concert.

anyway (second, i know), it would be honour if i would host you in turkey. you are precious, no doubt.

i cannot shake it, i know. this is the deal,

let me know that you are ok. it is not easy to track you here.

ps. though i am a translator, i could not make myself clear about my concern.

Thanks for all the vids and pics everyone, much appreciated from way over here. Looks like just the best gig.

In the vid Axeshredder linked to (kamikazeespleen) , surely Pip and Scuby you are in that? What about around 5:50 is that you Pip taking a video/pic right in front? Was there a bald guy 2 to your left?

Any more reports for Netherlands yet? Are you still on the Foot high guitarvibes?

errmmmm hybes.....NO!! LOL!! I don't miss the muggy hot weather of Oklahoma, or the biting flies or chiggers, lemme tell ya.....but in some strange and warped way, I do miss the thunderstorms :) And the people....we lucked out and lived in a lovely little neighborhood, everyone was warm and friendly. We really did love our time there in Bartlesville.

Anibur and scuba and mckenna, tanks for the photos :) oh and the video too mc...nice eyeball ya got there, LOL!! U were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy back!!

Scuba, Joe posted a pretty up-close picture of his new prototype pedal on his twitter page....my son saw it and is guessing it hasta be a version of the fulltone ultimate octave so feel free to confirm or deny, LOL! We know how Joe loves his "nasty fuzz" sounds :)

Yeah Austin, now the hotel search begins...I wanna get it taken care of this weekend and then ferget about it. I don't much like dis part =| Cool that Chickenfoot has been nominated as best new band....and of couse they should WIN!!

elpp, thanks for the bd wishes for my lil mum, very thoughtful of you :)

So Cappy, yer gonna be a permanent land-lubber den? I think that'll be so nice for you and your family not to have those long separations...and u can ride herd on that great kid you've got there, LOL!!!

Pip.....the only solution is....MORE SHOWS MORE SHOWS MORE SHOWS!!!! Notice I dint say cure cuz there is none and why would u want a cure fer that disease anyway? FEED IT! lol!! Oh, and I spotted yers and scubas heads in that vid, lol! You had the dream spots to watch the show!!

burly, good luck on making it to a show nearby, I really hope you do...this is just too good to miss!!

The vid of Chad's flying dangerous drums....jayzus Chad, what were u thinking!!! Sammy's lucky somethin dint get broken, like his face!! It's still early in their tour, whatever will happen next, LOL!!!

Thanks for all the Chickenfoot in Europe pictures and videos, everyone... I'm still missing My Kinda Girl though. ;-)

I love Joe's tone with these Marshalls...nice and thick.

I don't know what the specific differences are between the 50 and his larger amps, but I'd imagine there's something different about the smaller amp that gives him tone he likes. But he needs larger amps because of the venues the band is playing...maybe that's why he's using Marshall now?

Can someone in the UK tell me what exactly ITN is? Are they a tabloid network, or are they a legit news station?

They have a video on YouTube of reactions to Michael Jackson's death...someone on Mike Portnoy's forum posted a link to it. Satch is the second person on it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS9Iyo4nFBk&feature=fvhl

It looks like they shoved a camera in his face as he was signing autographs after the show, and based on Joe's reaction I bet this is how he first found out about MJ's death.

Why go through all the trouble to get a musician's thoughts when you don't identify him? And why go about getting reactions in such a rude way in the first place? Argh...

Well, that's my rant for the night...
