Cube:I played most everything as posted Digitech with Jap analog pedals, same weight load

the point is something goes wrong in a simple fxs chain y take it out n replace....with a unit like that, y better have another with yer programs stored

Peace Lilly - it's funny, your post wasn't there when I started typing in the link... I must have taken a while to find the vid I guess. It's well worth a few watches huh : )

Ozzy Fudd - now that's a storm! You all sorted now?

Gotta Have Joe - K, that sucks. Good wishes for your BF & your Pop

Skippy & Cappy Steve - peeps, you gotta stop calling me pippy, that's my bedroom name only lmao. You gotta stick to Pip or I'll get the wrong idea...

Burly - wow, sorry to hear that, I hope she gets better soon. Good vibes to you and her

Don1963 - no worries, Threw you a quick mail as requested

Cappy Scuba & Slansh - thanks for the little comedy skit. I laughed out so loud that I got asked what was so funny... couldn't explain, had to say 'private' joke...

Roo - guess it depends on the artist & the venue... but essentially what Scuba says went for CF london. No flash. Trick is to put the camera on night setting WITH flash and put plenty of black tape over the flash.... there's two genuis photographers on here that gave me that tip, one called Brian, one called Luini. Then hold very very still!

PTRocker, Blue Moon & Axeshredder - hows about a little nod/credit to Peace Lilly for posting the "Joe in a garage playing a cheapy guitar" (lmao) clip several days previously ; )

Cube - interesting about Dweezil. I'm sure for the first couple of albums he did he was promoting a zoom so he's obviously likes his multi-effects (as did, not sure now, Nuno)

Which reminds me, I really must get my ME-5 fixed....

Picked up the first guitar body Wednesday and got to catch up again with my friend. Very excited. It looks awesome. I cannot wait to get it sealed and reassembled. I can't handle the body too much till then - I don't want to get oils on it from my hands.

Pip: great tip thanks!

Berkeley tonight! Woohoo!! Hey joe, how about a "Hi Roo" from you tonight? Have fun, I am gonna have a great night listening to an incredible rock band!!!

".... the countries fucked beyond repair." Blue_Moon, Why so hopeless? What does that mean for your future? and what are you goin' to do about it?

Jaysus!!

Hey Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well. The guitar store is going well and so is my work at the hotel.

Tomorrow, I have my half-marathon run.

Fort-4-Fitness There's a picture of me with all the other participants from last year running on that website. Just go to the bottom and look at the picture of all the runners. I'm near the front wearing a tye-dye shirt. I probably will wear it again to stand out from everyone and you all will recognize me.

The race is sold out and about 5,000 people are in the four mile or half-marathon run.

Well, I better run and pick up my race-packet for the run tomorrow. Wish me luck you T2Jers.

Peppy Pippy & his pickle in his spectacular sleeping gown.

Imagine that if you will.

lmao!! I'll prolly have giggle fits all night thinking about that one.

Enjoy the Joe-glow tonight peeps!!

Good Afternoon Satchland..... What Up?

Here you go, Scuba

Keniko thank you, that's very interesting. As long as I can't afford a JSX or Rectifier (yet) I will use the POD to get close enough.

Joe is coming home soon. I hope that means the Paris DVD we've been waiting for so long, and maybe next spring a double album. With a lot of artwork and a special guitarpick included.

Listening to: Al Di Meola - Electric Rendezvous

Tonight's Chickenfoot show was awesome...the best of the four I've seen so far. The only negative I can think of would be the missing songs (Runnin' Out and Highway Star) compared to a few months ago, but there are other jams and stuff in the set that they didn't do at the other shows.

I've said this before, but the band has so much energy and it seems like they've been playing together for years. Sammy and Chad mentioned the Fillmore show a few times, and even continued some of the stage talk from back then...it was cool that they remembered.

I don't know if they've done this at any other recent show, but they opened the show slightly different before going into Avenida Revolution. Instead of the band launching into it all together, they did it one by one with an improv thing. Chad came out and started playing drums, then Joe did guitar on top of that, and Mikey added bass. Sammy came out next and they launched into the song.

Show highlights include EVERYTHING, and I really do mean that. It was all good. Joe's shirt said "Berzerkeley"...that about sums up the night.

It was great to see Al Surfer briefly and cheese101/Tracie and Chris again, and roo for the first time. It would've been nice to hang out a bit more, but there's always the next gig! ;-)

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a night!! Met Austin in line for a minute. Nice seeing you again.

CF was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!! The energy & enthusiasm is absolutely infectious!! They really have a blast together and are all playing great. Joe was perfect as always!! Lets his guitar do the talking. Nothing new to Joe fans though I know. I can only hope that I'm doing as well as Sammy is when I hit that age (sooner rather than later). The guy acts like Steven Tyler from the 70's!! Loved having Chad on guitar & Sammy on drums.

Queensryche was horrible in my opinion. Sounded like a mash-up of Ratt, Scorpions, Judas Priest, with the singer trying to act like Bruce Dickinson. Wasn't pretty and I'm mad that it made me think of 2 bands I loved in the early 80's - JP & IM. The worst part was that their appearance caused Davy Knowles to do a shortened one-man acoustic set. Davy did a great job though & I've now got his cd.

So my friend won the aftershow passes and being sort of an old hat at meeting Joe we hung back a bit when the 30 or so people with various passes went in so we'd be near the back of the crowd. Hung out a bit longer, chatted with Mike Manning a bit, and the next thing you know we're sort of forgotten and all of the other people have been shuffled through & are heading out the venue. We meander to the back and have a seat on a sofa backstage. Joe comes on over and I mention that roo from T2J is outside and has come from Australia. Joe says "what's he doing here?", lol!!!! So I say "he came to see you Joe" and he says "let's get him back here". Too funny. Joe is so selfless he didn't realize that roo came all that way to see him.

Every time I meet Joe he is always so gracious and patient! What a terrific human being. Takes time to chat and cares about what you're saying. I told him Jeff Beck used my Sharpee and he stuck it in his pocket, lol! roo told him that his Sharpee had just been to a Myley Cyrus show in L.A. and Joe said he didn't want anything to do with that pen, lol! Joe & I then chatted about the bizarre time he played the national Anthem at an A's/Yankees game, but the coliseum guy didn't plug him into the sound system. Told him I have a video of him from my seat playing "air guitar".

Also met Chad & Mike - great guys, but definitely much more reserved than Joe when meeting someone. Makes sense though as I'm sure there are pretty aggresive knuckleheads at VH & RHCP shows compared to the fans Joe meets.

I bought 3 CF posters and Joe, Mike, & Chad all signed each of them. Mike made a joke about they better not show up online for sale & I assured him they were for my 2 kids & my wife.

Also met John Luini & Jeff Campitelli again. Both so cool! Got a good picture of Jeff & Chad having a manly drummer's-hug.

It was really nice to meet and hang out with roo! Glad we were able to get him back there after traveling so far.

Sorry I didn't get to meet Tracie though.

Great night, Joe's the man, and I'm tired so that's all.

Thanks for the show update guys! To effin cool! So glad Roo got to see Joe too.

Did I ever mention how much I hate working weekends, 'cause I really, really do. lol!
