Cappy, we kept family & friends away over the weekend cuz that would be close contact. The party is always here. My son still had a fever on Saturday also. That said, my hubs and I still have to go to work. I'm not about huggin' up on anyone at work, so they'd have less chance of getting any on 'em. Family however, is all about hugs. My mom is 75, and my pop is still recovering/fighting the cancer thing. No way do I want to get them sick or have them in my germ infested house. The peeps at work...pfft! lol! Seriously though, I wouldn't wish that flu on anyone.
Austin (Do The Burgers - lmao!), thanks for the congrats. They spent a lot of weekends writing and recording this cd. All originals too. We're proud of the boys. They have a bunch of gigs planned for the summer between here and Philly. They grow up so fast. lol!
Al, I sent that spider over because you called us douches, so there!
Beautiful moon out tonight :-)

What's up Joe! I hope you do a solo album again. I do love Chickenfoot but those of us that have followed you since 1985 crave for your solo albums and intricate studio work. I would also love to have all of the extra tracks you have done like with the Nascar total team control soundtrack and the mini-colossal song and all of the other stuff you did with other artists such as Jordan Rudess, John 5, Yardbirds, Particle, etc. Will we ever get any of this stuff? I have most of it but it took a lot of research and time to get it. Die hard Joe fans deserve everything there is of Joe Satriani. It would also be cool if you did a remake of Talk to me. I remember you did an interview and said that you were going through a lot of demos and ZZ came in and said that he liked a song which turned out to be Come on Baby. Where are all of those demos? I would love to even hear outtakes that you have done. Just a thought!! See ya!

Blue Moon - isn't that just the most beautiful song ever in the history of guitar? I stumbled upon it this morning and haven't stopped listening to it yet. Buckethead is a REAL class act to be sure.
Anyone who has not yet heard Buckethead's tribute to Michael Jackson... what are you waiting for?! On the page there it is called The Homing Beacon but after you download it it's called The Landing Beacon... weird.
I listened to it all night while driving, it is just so hauntingly beautiful. For The Love Of God used to be my #1 favorite instrumental guitar track but it has officially been de-throned. Buckethead is SO the man.
smooches,

Do The Burgers - Austin, I do understand that Chad has hurt himself (that's rock and roll) and needs to ensure he's OK before continuing. My post was intended to show I empathise with the disappointment and frustration of those who are missing out this time round. On a personal level I am used to missing out on quite a lot of things due to the nature of my employment although I occasionally dig up a little nugget so to speak, such as being in Sydney and being able to score a ticket for the Fleetwood Mac gig at the Sydney Showground on the 'Tusk' tour.
Conch and Monterrey Trace - The big ass thang has me chuckling, a few days back I referred to my wife's as being a value for money ass. When she said 'are you trying to say I have a big bum' I said 'well I suppose you could say it is family sized'. LOL

Blue Moon - now THATs a beautiful song, thnx for the link that Buckethead guy has a soul which is tangible in that piece. I sent it to my bro-in-law who plays flamenco.
elpp - lovely pics of your holiday I'd love to go to Mexico one day...
scuby - congrats on the 1000 and on the new job!!!!
Yesterday I was playing "Stand By Me" to a backing track and Mr Skippy walked in and said "Is that Stand By Me?" yyiippeeeeee yes I can play something yayyyyyy!!!! Also got going on a groovy Minuet thing, I tell you this old Danny Poole Beginner's Guitar CD-ROM is really good - he plays A with a different fingering to what I learn in the Dummies Guide and it's easier to switch chords the way he does it cos your 1st finger pivots and slides quicker.
Only ten years to Ten Words.....
Joe - how ya going buddy - don't let the Chad thing get you down, hope you're relaxing with the family and seeing the sights in Europe before Bospop.

Yes, a music site, also a place to connect with possible like minded people.
We get little to no news of UK. And domestic news is only the lies propagated by the Bilderberg controlled media. NOBODY here knows of the evil EU.
OK, music talk to make you happy.
Joe, please don't quit the solo career. Best reason was stated by Zappa, "Shut up and play your guitar". Love the CF music, but 90% of the lyrics are kinda lame and the singing(screaming) is just too much.

Well been away for a couple of days, catching up on all the posts. I agree with some here that maybe CF should cancel some more shows to give Chad recovery time. Playing injured is not good for anyone, especially someone who plays as hard as Chad. I know it sucks for those who don't get a show and if I was one I would be dissapointed but I would still rather he cancel now and come back when he is healed.
I know this will probably get more than a few groans, or find another board remarks but...... I think Joe is understanding of whats going on with the injury thing. I maybe wrong but I don't think he is in any hurry to get back to soloing. I have been to two shows only a few feet away from him both times and have seen him on countless videos since they started touring. I also have seen many vids and pics of him doing his solo work. I can say this for certain, I have never seen him so happy and having so much fun onstage than he has been with CF. He has even said it himself. Others in his camp have also said it. He is happy as he's ever been and loves not having all the pressure on him alone. I also think that CF allows him to be "free" onstage to go off on a tangent or just hang back if he wants. He can change things up and has been from show to show instead of making sure each note and chord is perfectly duplicated like his solo stuff. Just my opinion of course..... and yes I know they are like a-holes and yes I have one.
On another note; We finally got all our video transfered to DVD. It was a horribly long process because we don't have the capability to do it at home ourselves so we had to count on others to do it for us. Unfortunately every time someone said they could get it done, they couldn't. Finally got it done myself on my daughters computer last night after about 5 hours. The good thing is the DVD is finished and it's awesome to watch on a TV. The bigger the TV the better. There is a lot of great stuff on it and at one point Joe pulls up on his whammy bends to one side and with mouth wide open holds that note for like 10 seconds right in front of me, I almost think he did it for me but he probably didn't, it just looks that way. Anyway great stuff when the whole band is only a max of 10 feet away.
Well I guess thats it for now, hope I'm not banned from the board now lol. Have a great day everyone!

nahhhhhhhhhhh....but u do hafta put fitty cents in the jar fer yer opinions.
:) J/k.....no worries Don, I'm with you, I've never seen Joe so excited and animated and just bubbling with enthusiasm as he is now. Of course we all love his solo stuff and wanna see that back some day....but he gets to do whatever he wants, he's entitled to make choices. I happen to love Chickenfoot and am excited and happy for him. Joe has always been the complete pro with all he has done and always put on a good face, even when exhausted by the end of a solo tour he still has his smiles and hugs for us. But this....he's just like a kid in a candy store, I'm tellin ya, lol!
Love ya Joe, u just go on wit yer bad self, LOL!

I had a super cool tshirt from one of your shows back in the 1980's and it was stolen. I always remembered that shirt and how cool it was. I am wondering how I can get another one. It was from the flying in a blue dream tour and it had a big picture of a hand on the front of the shirt. Any chance I can find another one and how?

michelle - "They have a bunch of gigs planned for the summer between here and Philly."
Can they take the long way to Philly? I'll say the same thing to you (well, your son) that I've said to matt king. Play a gig in LA and I'll be there, front and center. :-)
I seem to remember you posting a live clip or two of your son's band, but are there any samples from the CD that I can hear? Or not yet?
elpp - Thanks for sharing the pictures.
What kind of car do you have, and how on earth can that be a comfortable place to sleep? I'm 6'4"...that'd never work for me. ;-)
Guitarman77897 - Hey! What've you been up to lately?
scottycherie - I think Ebay is your best bet. I've seen the shirt you're talking about and I think it's very cool...hopefully you're able to find another one.
...Austin...

Do The Burgers, the cd was just finished, so the stuff they have on their myspace page was put up before that and isn't mixed as well. They have a few gig vids up on youtube. here, and some vids of practice. Here's a lovely mix of recording and a gig. Take note - when they play in the basement it's at gig volume. lol! The drummer is 18, my son is 17, and the guitarist just turned 17 in June.
Good times man, good times.

Blue_Moon--oK...I went to bucketheadland and listened to Landing Beacon.........WOW......I can't think of a better tribute to MJ. Saying what someone means to me or anyone is best done through musical instruments anyway.....words, written and oral language are so limited.....what more can I say?

Any of you old farts remember Ringo's No No Song? We were in the car and the song came on the radio and my hubs and I started laughing. Hell, I ever remember most of the words to it and I haven't heard it in probably 20 years!

scubadaz: Thanks! You're right, I'm definitely not a critter fan. Spiders in particular. Which brings us to Michelle's question. Congrats on the job!
Michelle: Its scientific name is Bigass Mexican Spider, next time I see one I'll send it to u so u can ship it to McK....lol, everyone I showed that picture to at work said the same thing, but it's actually a trick of the eye. I was inside a mesh tent, and so was the spider, while the tree and table were several feet back. In reality the spider was about the size of my thumb nail. Had the spider been as big as it looks I probably would've had a panic attack (not kidding), and I definitely would not have taken the photo!
Skippygirl: Thanks! And you should definitely come over to Mexico. As nice as this place (Los Filtros) is, there are literally hundreds of places far more beautiful. I hear a lot of good things about Oaxaca and Guanajuato, haven't been there yet myself.
Austin: It's a Chevrolet Chevy C2. Only for sale in Latin America, think a shorter version of the Cavalier. It is uncomfortable as f@#$k for sleeping. I had to roll down the back seat and sleep with my head in the trunk, my body in the back seat and my feet in the front seat!!! But it runs nice, doesn't eat up a lot of gas, and I can squeeze it into openings a big car would never get into (like right next to a lagoon!).
