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.

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.

Zf:for electric imo a Hiwatt 70,s 100 watt bass amp head through a Marshall 4 b 12 1960B straight cab does the trick! y can add fxs t that mother n its so clean live & studio...i miss that setup

For Acoustic... AER...these german peeps get the job DONE!

goodnight roy.

Thx for giving your point.. already get a marshall hp 1966A lead 2X12.

theigloo - welcome to the forum, tell us a bit about yourself, always good to see a new Aussie here..

guitarvibes - glad you had a good time at the show

burly - anyone who can drum gets a high five from me!

Did somebody say Echo... echo..... echo ? Ha ha

Here's also Overdriver

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 .

Cube, if someone wore a shirt that read Chickenhead one day, then the next day they wore a shirt that read Back Door Slam - what would you think?

Anybody wanna chime in??

michelle backdoor slam is a cool band .. dont blame em..

Punkdude75. I have 3 girls so it can get a little trying at times. But it's worth it.

I personally feel sorry for M Jackson he had a hellish childhood, his dad was a pure c**t & the media circus ripped into him constantly its little wonder he wound up so messed up, i,m surprised he lived as long t be honest

I saw Explosions In The Sky in concert tonight. They were excellent, as they always are. This was my fourth time seeing them, going back to 2006. It's cool how in just three years or so, they've gone from playing rooms that hold 250-500 people to selling out tonight's show at the Palladium (4,000 capacity).

I wasn't alive when he made the transition from Jackson 5 member to solo artist, but he was still HUGE as I was growing up. I remember going to a friend's birthday shortly after the Dangerous album was released. His mom gave him that album, and every single one of us kids thought that was the coolest gift ever...way better than all of the action figures, NERF guns, footballs and whatever else we had given him.

You're probably right that future royalties will go to his kids...hopefully that helps them through the difficult times ahead.

Oh, and I bought the new Davy Knowles album today. I'll let you know what I think after I give it a listen...

What are some of your other favorite bands/albums? You're fairly new here, so I don't know. If you could pick a different producer for the album, who would you go with?

Even though I have a lenient viewpoint toward overproduction, I have always been very impressed to hear artists recreate the album sound live. Scorpions (Monsters of Rock 1988 sticks out for me). I had to look at the soundboard several times to see if Dieter Dierks was manning the controls..

The Chickenfoot record does have a lot of low end. It does sound great though with a sub-woofer. I turned the bass up 2 notches from where I normally listen. I have never been a fan of the rumbling bass sound but for some reason I like the lows on this album and how they blend with Joe. One point that sticks out for me is on MKG with Chad riding the floor tom (which is in tune with the bass line) and the mix is blended and transitioned from Mikey to Chad and back again throughout the song. It has a rumble at times that would normally be annoying to me somewhat, but I like it. And I do realize that I have had a great deal of anticipation and excitement with this project so there is a factor there that would render me partial.{br]

Got my Chickenfoot T for Fathers Day from my oldest daughter. She ordered it way back and it just came yesterday. (Was supposed to be delivered by DHL and so charged but it came regular mail)

Enjoy

Roy : i agree about MJ.. the man seemed very pertubed & haunted by terrible demons..

Austin : The most annoying point to me is that the ones who have blamed him during changing skin color weirdness & pedophilia scandal are now acclaiming him.. now he doesn't need them anymore.

Gone quite in here ......

:(

Oops, I meant quiet of course!

LOL!
