Pippy - Would you believe the Proclaimers played a show here last night supporting the B52's!!! One of the guys from work went, haven't asked him how it was....
Defo will see Avatar, just took my girls to see New Moon last weekend, corrrrr....lots of screams from the mostly-girl audience when 2 certain people were on screen (and Mums quietly enjoyed it too).
Glitzy - wow well done on the job front you are amazing. Sorry, I didn't realise you didn't play - even more impressive that you got a job in a guitar store! Ps ignore my unrequested advice it is a flaw of mine (I call it helpful but I know it can be annoying) it comes from being a Mum I think, and is well-meant. Actually a couple of open chords are real easy to learn, and that would be all it took to get a prospective customer to experience the excitement of guitar = more sales!!!
Austin - ditto above re the advice :0).
Thanks for the clarification re the movie I forgot it was Phoenix. I have to check the recent DVD one again to find you in that. Good luck with the job hunt - OK I can't help myself, will send you a PM with another idea :0).
Peace Lily - you got 2 great products there I LOVE both of those, Crystal Planet gets very high rotation in my car (esp. Psycho Monkey, which our own Blue Moon does a very nice version of) and the Live! DVD is terrific with Joe in the cool black.
roo - Xmas party huh? Mine's next week, there's a group of us going as a group of doo-wop girls with enormous wigs, gold microphones and black sequin outfits - I just decided to call us "The Pippettes" it will be something like Sister Act LMAO!!
Not long to Vegas let's hope the best video (a T2Jer's) wins.

The Movie....
Well after surveying the 14 people in the theater before the show....ALL were there the night before and carried the same frustration as i had about given the wrong date (dec 1 was not the day as posted by Chickenfoot and Sony). during the movie about another 10 showed up...none of them were Joe...lol
The review....Truly captured the live concert feel by keeping improvised music, words and actions in the forefront. The band must have warmed up extra for this because Joe was so on his game right from Avenida..the camera couldnt keep up with his hands..but came really close.....and quite a few noticable differences and smoother changes from early live Chickenfoot's Ideas. Sammy and Mike's vocals were less pitchy and very harmonic at times. Joe Guitar really recorded well and pierced my ear similiar to the tour......it was awesome stereo/sub not surround (see below). Chad did turnover his set but it just didnt seem as natural and the first time or the one i witnesssed in Atlantic city. I will buy this DVD on it being a perfect memoir of the 3 shows I witnessed, but also it captures more than any seat's perspective as far as seeing the passion and fun in these guys eyes. One issue i had was he camera changes too much and thats what you dont see is more than 3 sec of one shot at a time....or that how it seemed...you couldnt really study 1 individual like in a live show.
The Problem....No surround sound...i complained once and nothing changed so after the show i complained again and said this was my first and last time with this theater.
the final solution........they realized their mistake and they did the right thing and gave me a free pass for any other show and gave me the only poster the NY show received...and as you'll see, altered too...so i have the evidence and a one of a kind for sure...see pic..lol
Dec. 2nd???? =(

The Grammy nominations were just announced...no Chickenfoot anywhere. That really doesn't surprise me, but it's disappointing when I look at some of the crap that was nominated instead (in other categories).
The category we usually pay the most attention to (although not this year, with no solo Satch release), best rock instrumental performance, looks good this year:
Jeff Beck - A Day In The Life
Booker T. Jones - Warped Sister
Brad Paisley - Playing With Fire
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Mr. Surfer Goes Jazzin'
Steve Vai - Now We Run
Other highlights for me include the Dave Matthews Band's two nominations (album of the year and best rock album) and three nominations for U2.
Random comments:
- I think it's laughable that MGMT and the Silversun Pickups are both nominees in the "best new artist" category...I'm not a fan of either band, but I've been aware of them for years.
- The "best rock performance" category is weak IMO, aside from Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood's song...the other nominees are Coldplay, Green Day, Kings Of Leon, and U2.
- If Chickenfoot would have gotten a nomination, I guess it would've been for "best hard rock performance"...that list is slightly more respectable (AC/DC, Alice In Chains, Linkin Park, Metallica, Nickelback).
What does everyone else think?
Listening to: Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King (current song: Lying In The Hands Of God)
...Austin...

thanx for the review axe! good snag on the poster! what 4.5 gigs too big, cmon they have 7.5 cameras already lol!
Stu: Chickenfoot will never be nominated for these kinds of awards, they don't have a 2 to 3 min song that can be played until the disc warps on the radio!
uh oh axe, you're asking for trouble going up against those Sammy fans lmao! sign in to the Sammy board and take a peek. my wife, screen name RIREDROCKER, called out the vote riggers last night and they denied any wrongdoing! of course those same peoples vids keep getting 5 star ratings while new posts get 3 or less!

Cube- I agree Jeff Beck's day in the life is an amazing song i think he will win to. I think i read somewhere that Steve Vai loves it when he performs that song, or that might be where were you i can't remember.

Blue Moon - Al, is that Lisa Simpson your handywork? That's hilarious... does that mean Lisa Simpson is a Chickenhead lmao
Don1963 - maybe people should just give a 5 or not bother. Wonder if there'd be so much fuss if it was just some swag and not a guitar? Good luck mate
I saw your wife's post. She called them out, and they went quiet!
Axeshredder - well, I've voted for yours, Michelle's and a quite a few others and good luck to you all. For me though, the vid that should win was the original Chad drum trash Sammy head smash from London but I can't see that one - that would be my vote to win
P.S Vote for me too peeps : ) I'd like to be part of the selection process, but can't see why the band would pick mine

Next time I want to tell you something in private, I will email mail you here if necessary. Because you do not answer your facebook emails. I tried a more private venue that I knew of on facebook.. It was obviously, important.
But when you did not answer me, and he was kind and considerate to me I informed him of what I knew. Because to me he was a gentleman. Even if he intended to fix me and I in turn fixed him, once again. Your talent Joe is a gift. And so is mine.
