LMAO! Why are people obsessed with filming themselves having sex so they can watch themselves "perform" later? Same thing with nekked pics. It usually always ends up being pilfered and in the hands of someone else. I think it's pretty damn funny to be honest. If yer stupid enough to do it, well then.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes for my son. He's looking a bit better than he has been. He's moving around the house and sitting up more instead of being a blob of sweating shivering sleeping mess on the sofa. He was burning up, but said he was freezing cold since Sunday night. Right now his temp is 100.4. yay.

Roo, did yer whole family have the same symptoms? Our doc said that right now there's only one flu going around, and it's the H1N1 "swine flu". He said they worry more about the elderly and young, and those with compromised immune systems. Most healthy ppl get through it with no meds except fever reducers - which is all my son had to try to keep his fever down. Hope yer fam is all back to normal and healthy soon.

Hi all! Long time, no posting...

Been trying to catch up in reading all the posts, but that's impossible. You guys post more than I can read. So, I had to take a 2 months leap until today.

Was planning to go to Madrid but with Chad's injury now that's no use.

Been watching lots of Satch lessons on youtube, it's great for my guitar playing :) It's also great that he's willing to share all that stuff. I've also found inumerous rare videos and footage of him performing live, but I bet you guys already know them.

Chickenfoot CD hasn't reached the stores yet here in Portugal (at least the one I usually go to) so I've only listened to the broadcasted mp3. It's ordered though.

Also, all this Chickenfoot thing brought up some nostalgia and made me look for Eddie stuff and I'm kinda re-discovering his genious. The fact is a few years ago I couldn't even figure out where to begin with. Now I kinda found my starting point and I finding Eddie's playing a great inspiration.

Another guy that recently blew my mind was Petrucci and his solo on "Best Of Times" track. Now that's what I'd like to play one day! DT played here in Lisbon a few weeks ago, it was awesome!

Hope all you guys and gals are ok.

I'll try not to spend a couple of years until I post here again :)

Are you bored or something?

Yes Jeanette its me.

Michelle..... sorry to hear about your son, hope he gets healthy soon and everyone else in the family stays that way.

I was bored this afternoon and started trying to figure out Led Zeppelin's Bron-Yr-Aur on acoustic guitar. I only have the first few bars down, but it's a fun song...

I was nice about it, but I don't think he's ever read a post here so I don't think he'll be back to talk about other things. I like having new people here, but...

I love I'll Be Around (one of his best vocal songs ever, I think), Lucky Charms, and Fever Dreams.

It wasn't exactly a party, but I was visiting some relatives one summer several years ago and my brother and I think one or two of my cousins got chicken pox. My parents kind of intentionally left me exposed to them but I never caught it. I guess I'm immune...I wouldn't want to take my chances with swine flu though.

Here's last years fireworks finale. We stand about 100 yards from where they set them off, so even the concussions from them being set off are fierce. The thuds let off a nice echo. The boomers at about 6:30 on the vid rattle yer rib cage and set off car and house alarms for miles. They're my fav. Nothing better than getting yer snack on, yer swerve on, then walking 2 blocks to see a kickass fireworks display for 30 minutes, then stumblin' back home with swarms of other people partying throughout the community. I call the day after the fireworks - National Hangover Day. Tomorrow is gonna be the first year we're not having or being at a party. *sigh* Guess I can still get my swerve on, but it won't be the same.

We've been watching a marathon of the Deadliest Catch all day. lol! Thems some crazy bastids!

Ashton Kutcher tweeted this -and said - this is the coolest mf ever. How do come this close to getting hit and be that chill

Hey folks, long time no speak those of you I used to chat with some time back!

Hope all's well?

Hey Suzo

Austin,do you know what's up with Steven? Did he go back into rehab? The Hershey & VB shows are cancelled.

01-Jul-09 Aerosmith drummer writes of "Hitting Rock Bottom"

Reuters By Gary Graff

DETROIT (Billboard) - Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer says he wrote his new book, "Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top," in order "to be entertaining, but at the same to ... help people."

Kramer tells Billboard.com that "Hit Hard," which was published Tuesday (June 30), is the result of a four-year process with writers William Patrick and Keith Garde. The book, which includes a forward by Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, chronicles the drummer's substance abuse problems, his psychologically scarring relationship with his father and a similarly tumultuous, "co-dependent" battle with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. Kramer hopes that the book will shed some light for those dealing with the same issues in their lives.

"My desire to help people plays a strong part in my character," Kramer says. "Because I've been allowed to do what I've done via Aerosmith, I'd like to be able to carry it on as I get older, on another level. Whatever that may be is really unbeknownst to me -- maybe some sort of a lecture series or circuit or whatever -- but I know that it will come."

Kramer says that Tyler -- whose own autobiography, "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?," has been pushed from an October publication date to the summer of 2010 -- was supportive during his bandmate's book-writing process. "When I was trying to tell him about some of the stuff that was in the book, his comment was ... 'Hey, man, as long as it's the truth, I don't care,'" Kramer recalls. "And that's pretty much where Steven is at. He's about the truth."

Bassist Tom Hamilton, who Kramer portrays in "Hit Hard" as perhaps his closest friend in Aerosmith, calls his rhythm section partner's tome "pretty amazing. It's a really hard-hitting book ... but there's also a lot of neat references to people that we knew when the band started and things that happened that I forgot about. So it has some real entertainment value, too."

Aerosmith as a band collaborated with author Stephen Davis on 1997's "Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith," but Hamilton says he does not anticipate each member of the Boston quintet bringing out his own book.

"Right now my passion is expressing myself through music," Hamilton says. "I think the thing to do is to be the last one to write a book. That way you can let everybody else put things in their book that are gonna make you mad, and then you can answer back and (have) the last word."
