so, who sucks here?
Joe has explained himself that he wanted to built a versatile amp wich permits to him to work on stage as if he got several of his heads. He has never said that he would renonce to all his other material.
Just tired to read silly thing.
Yeap.. silly.. go on.. be silly.

I don't mean to be offensive with this, but I have a Michael Jackson question...
Does it bug anyone that suddenly everyone is buying his music? Record stores are sold out, online outlets are backordered, and most of the top downloads at iTunes in any category are MJ-related (as I'm typing this it's 7 of the top 10 songs, 9 of the top 10 albums, and all top 10 videos).
He was hugely popular, but he had to DIE before people thought his music was worth purchasing? If so many people liked him so much then why didn't they buy his music when he was alive, so he could have known just how popular he still was? And he would have been the one paid for his work, instead of (now) his estate or his creditors.
I love rock and roll and most of its related genres (instrumental, prog, metal, "jam bands", fusion, etc.), but I don't like much pop/rap/R&B. Still, my music collection includes Michael Jackson's Thriller (and other things, like Run DMC's Raising Hell). If I can buy albums like this, why can't the actual fans?
burly - It's not just overdubs or multiple tracks that bug me, it's the way they're done on this particular album. Like on the ending chorus of My Kinda Girl...the lead lines that Joe plays really stick out to me because most of the rest of the song is just the rhythm guitar. And in a band where two people know how to play guitar, it comes across as unnecessarily cutting corners.
For the record, I love overdubs and multiple tracks done right (the EOC album, You Saved My Life from SBM, etc.)...
Mikey has said that band wants to write and record all of their next album sitting in a room together. I hope they do, and I hope Sammy has a guitar with him and doesn't mind recording some of the rhythm tracks.
There are things I love about the album, though...I love the touch of harmonica on My Kinda Girl (I wish Joe would've found a way to do something with that live), the banjo on Sexy Little Thing, and the keyboards scattered throughout.
scubadaz - Your pre-Chickenfoot meal was KFC? My brother and I did the same thing in San Francisco...haha.
And the "R"s are all backward on the other Chickenfoot shirt, the one without the faces. The "K"s are normal, aside from the name of the band, though. Hmmm...
Pip Satrini - Yeah, it'd be awesome to get another big group together at a gig. Hopefully next year's tour, whether it's Chickenfoot or solo Satch, will have all the dates announced at once so it'll be a bit easier for us to plan...
cheese101 - I can't stand TV journalism, and that video is a prime example of why. Argh... I think society as a whole is to blame for a lot of journalism's problems, though. People just eat this stuff up.
Don1963 - Yeah, isn't this band great live? I really do think this band has legs (unavoidable pun...sorry), and I can't wait to see what they can come up with two or three albums from now.
punkdude75 - I have my tickets to Progressive Nation 2009...the last night of the US tour, in LA. I'm psyched! Are you seeing them in Chicago?
rjmuzza - Yeah I posted that late last night...I'm sure they knew who he was (it looks like he's signing autographs), but it's lame that they didn't identify him.
Listening to: Dredg - The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (current song: Quotes)
...Austin...

Austin-I'm with you.I am beyond sick of the MJ worship going on right now.Some people are acting like he was the greatest musician to ever live.I personally just thought of him as an entertainer, not a musician.
I guess I just can't relate.

Chickenfoot's up on www.Grooveshark.com :-)
bee you tea full dai owt two dai!
Bought the new DT cd just a bit ago. Listened to cd #2 on the way home. I'm really hoping the rest of the cd is better, cause that bored the hell outta me. I kept skipping to the next song hoping one would really grab me. Nothing. My son, who usually loves DT didn't like it either. I left it in my husbands car with the cd sleeve and brought the other two cd's in the house. I'm not saying it's a total loss yet. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for DT these days? Great graphics in the inside booklet though.
I can't even be upset about it because I have Chickenfoot playing on my puter. How can ya be in a bad mood with Oh Yeah & GET IT UP! playing??? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! lol!
Get your buzz on, right here!
Austin, I absolutely agree. To little, to late. I've bought MJ cd's in the past for gifts, but never for myself. I always felt sorry for the guy the way he was like a caged animal - just like Princess Diana. Money hungry stalking paparazzi sucked the souls right out of them (Brittany and many others too). The way the dude grew up, he never had a chance at being a "normal" guy. As a kid he had no "friends" like kids should. It was all work, and all family. He never learned the things he needed by interacting and experiencing LIFE. Sure, he entertained and made millions, but what's life if you can't make a move without being dissected by the "press" and millions of people. If you can't walk out yer front door without getting mauled by photographers or fans, yer world gets very small. His musical aspect was pure genius, but his mentality was stunted by his fathers push to make him a money machine. I'm not buying any MJ merch now although I do believe the children are entitled to all his earnings through his music. I think everything else he owns will go to his estate - which will go to the bill collectors. Maybe buying his music now isn't a bad thing? It might be a benefit for the kids in the long run? Lots of good memories with the Jackson 5 and MJ. Just sad the way it all ended up over the past 10 years or so.

Hello Joe,
I went to the Chickenfoot show in Heerhugowaard, Holland, yesterday and it was great to see you guys play.
[edited this:] You should check out the Gainland pre-amp Peter van Weelden made. Sound samples can be found here.
Thanks,
Kjeld

Hum.. Jackson was a musician.. a good singer, & an awesome dancer.
With the help of Mr Quincy Jones, Thriller has been the 80's BOMB.
Beat it with Lukather on rythmical guitar & evh on lead.
Billie Jean
& of course, Thriller realized by John Landis.
We had never seen video clips like that before MJ.
Even if i think Prince is the funky Man, MJ has brought a lot to music.

i have been a MJ fan since i was a KId , MJ 's tune beat it was the first time i heard crazy guitar solo's and from then on i was hooked on EVH and Guitar i did not start playing till a few years later , but i have off the wall, thriller , Bad , dangerous, i enjoyed MJ's music , he did not play an instrument , but did write many of his tunes ,
I think the world has lost a great talent ..that will be overshadowed by crap .
there will never be an other performer at the level of MJ .
am i annoyed that people are buying his music .. not really ...its still better than coldplay

Punkdude75. I have 3 girls so it can get a little trying at times. But it's worth it.
Do the Stu. I think the cd is a little overproduced. I think another producer might have done better. I know a lot of people like Andy Johns and he has done great work, but I think he should have pushed the bass and drums back a little more and brought out Satch's playing. Mikey and Chad are just too powerful and Andy likes bass so I think it is a little bass heavy. I usually play the Chickenfoot cd on a different setting (low bass) on the cd player. These guys are fantastic live and I can't wait for more!
