Hello Joe,
Gotta tell you that I am disappointed in your decision to go with a different band. Yes I agree that If you your going to go with vocals that Sami would be the one to do it with, but I sure miss your other style. Your guitar playing is great anyway you go but you are restricted and your old great style is not being unleashed. For us older generation that really get into a three man band, tear it up, rock and roll no vocals, just good old guitar, drum, and bass, I think you have shot yourself in the foot. Really miss your old style,
Jim

Hi peeps!
Man, that was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time!
Davy & his band blew me away! It was my first time seeing him and his band ~ and WOW!!! Killer band! His drummer was wandering around halls outside the HOB, and we talked to him a bit He was a bit flustered at first and couldn't seem to find a door to let him inside the venue. lol! Next time he came by I asked him if he was lost again. He was just wandering around at that point, and had found the correct door. lol! What a great group of guys! Their own songs were great, but when they did Almost Cut My Hair - whoa!! I wasn't expecting that. I'm listening to a version of it on youtube from another show right now. I'm not going to post the link. If you've seen them already, then you know. If you haven't - wait! Fantastic opening act! 10 thumbs up! My one tip - EARPLUGS! He hits the highs and squeezes the crap out of 'em.
Chickenfoot took the stage and it was on! They were ready to rock - and they did! Chad is a force to be reckoned with on the drums. Holy Christ I love watching him play! Well...in all fairness you have to keep an eye on him cause you might get a stick, tambourine, or flying body upside yer skull trying to catch the things he's throwing! Mikey was on fiii-yaaaaah, as usual keeping the back beat and hitting those high notes. I like that he doesn't stay on his side of the stage and comes over to visit Joe's side. Same thing with Sammy. He covers the stage and gives everyone a show. Sammy sat almost directly in front of us on the edge of the stage to play Bad Motor Scooter. That was way cool! While Sammy was sitting on the stage playing BMS and everyone was watching him, I looked over at Joe standing in the shadows waiting for his time to come in and pointed to him. He saw me and waved, and I waved back :-) Aww yeah! The guys were having so much fun. We were laughing at them more then they were laughing at each other! At one point, Sammy came over to Joe and got about 3 inches from his face, and Joe pulled off this expression that was priceless. It was hilarious! Chad was having his own stick throwing championship to hit a target out in the middle of the crowd. I couldn't see who he was throwing all these sticks to, but holy shit man, they got half his stash out there in the middle! lmao! Yay for them! He was throwing them up into the balcony and everything. In between drumming and throwing, he was making gestures and faces and lemme tell you - this dude is off! lmao! So much fun to watch! I usually watch Joe and Jeff in Joe's band, and in this band I find myself doing the same thing - Joe and drummer. lol!
The after show was just....man...I haven't said I love Joe in a few hours, so I'ma say it again...I love Joe. lol! He came out the doors and walked straight to me and I think that's the first thing I said to him. lmao!! "Aww Joe, I love you!" and gave him a big hug. lol! I just freakin' love that guy! He gave hugs all around and had some laughs with us. There weren't many peeps for the after show, but they had to travel to the next show so Joe made his rounds, then we sucked him back in and hugged him up before we let him leave. He even hugged my husband. lmao!!! I love that guy!! We chatted with Mick a bit, and said hi to Mike Manning while he was breaking down Davy's set. It should be time for his daily 6 month haircut soon? lol!
We left there on cloud 999 and just laughed our way into the night.
T & J - I love u's like nobody's bidness! Thanks for traveling in for a fantastic weekend. Thanks for making me laugh until my face was wet with tears and I couldn't breathe. Thanks for the b-day prezzies (thanks AL!). Thanks for all the photo ops. Thanks for driving the big red machine. Thanks for the butt dance on the escalator (you know who you are!). Thanks for the teef - they will not go unused! Thanks for being wild and wonderful and wacky and all the things that make u's who you are!

Michelle- Thanks for the review..I can tell you are still reeling from the Euphoria.
I can't wait..1 week from tonight. This is truly a special event for me. This band has been building within me for a long time. It seemed like forever before we got to see anything from them but man when we did. I realize Joe's solo career is important to many of you and me too but this is FUN!! And hey Joe will be back to being Joe.
I looked @ my seat #s and they say row 3.. I could have sworn I clicked on the 4th row ( best 2 seats available) I think they must have just canceled the sale of the backstage tickets because these seats have been open for a long time. I'm glad I got to sit so close. This thing is nearly sold out.
We should be close to center stage just over to Joe's side a little.
I hope they allow cameras.

Railton: I don't know if it's the same over there, but it seems that if you want to advance in the show you must play something really popular. So forget obscure songs and play Summer Song or any of the ballads. Otherwise go for the toughest song u feel comfortable playing live.
WhammyFreak: Egyptian sounds interesting! Plus that Egyptian doctor screwed up Wolfie, so that's an omen!! jajaja
Slanshroom: LOL! That is spot-on dude!
I saw this at the other forum I visit, I think I'm in love again. Yasi Hofer. Guitarist.. Don't recall anyone here ever mentioning her, good chops.

Chickenfoot has refined their act as a non stop variety of music and personality! ..and reminding us of what Rock and Roll is all about! Thanks!
Chickenfoot Atlantic City, NJ 2009 ENDingWow
The Beer Mike handed me =)..it was delicious
Flying Fish

Chickenfoot Slot Machine..lol
Thanks to Mari-Mari SRV(she had to cancel out) by giving me the info i needed to get the best spot in the house ;) ......lol..i met quite a few fans that knew me from youtube...its always an awesome experience at these shows because every time, guaranteed, I will meet other fans and new friends...heres a shot of just a couple of them..lol
AC, NJ HOB Crowd
So much more....they played awesome...reviews at this point are hard to do the justice of the experience...especially for me after three shows, front row, interacting with the band, as they/Joe does for so many during the shows,was truly a once in a lifetime experience...though i keep saying that show after show...lol.
Long Live Chickenfoot!

I just don't get the concept of the ashes. Lets go stand out in the hot sun for day's on end and play catch..... And the winner gets what? Burnt wood..... Might as well hit a little ball around for a 10Km walk.

Peace Lily - OK somehow we will have a T-M-J-S-P Joe weekend and we'll get BigBunny in too!!!
I guess Mr Vai would look vain if he voted for himself. I must say, I checked out Europa (his no.1 pick) on youtube and it IS stunning.....

Marcos Ambrose is a doing great this year in NASCAR. You Aussies trained him up right
Juan Pablo Montoya should have already won a race as consistent as he has been.
Pip- That shows ya just how difficult a win is in this series.

Hi Joe, I just signed up on here, and I know I'll sound like a dork probably, but you are the greatest guitarist of our time and I am a huge fan. Ok dorkiness out of the way. So when are you going on tour by yourself again? Don't get me wrong I love Chicken foot, but I really would like to see one of your shows, not the bands. Well whenever you do, make sure you come to North Carolina, and I'll be there.

Railton: Pretty good kid eh? I agree, Fur Elise is a lovely song...I've actually tried working it out on guitar, didn't get very far ;)
RE: The Ashes, I find it funny that whenever we last won it there was a HUGE fuss made about it, open top bus parades and suddenly cricketers endorsing stuff left right and centre. This time, well nothing really happened. It just about made the evening news...What's life without a friendly rivalry though? :)

Scuba: Well, she is definitely good looking, but I was thinking about her guitar prowess. You seldom see/hear female guitarists playing that style of music, and playing it well enough to get on stage with Vai and not look like a complete fool is even more impressive, regardless of gender. Did u check out that vid, her playing with Vai?
Railton: I'd say get a feel for what the judges want, playing a song of yours is probably option 1 but if they won't even let you in the door with that u should have an alternate "popular" song ready to go. That's how I would approach it anyways.
