I love the energy on the forum after Joe has posted, its so positive ! I like the changes at the Chickenfoot site too, I think it looks awesome and the contests , movie and webcast will be fun. Course I don't have any foot-age but will be good for those who do .

Sorry 'bout the game, it really is an outrage. The whole world watching and still it persists. CRAZY.

I've been quiet for a while...a few random things to comment on:

- I haven't seen a definitive answer anywhere...do we know what show will be playing in theaters on December 1? The band has filmed so many. Is this an advance preview of the DVD, or maybe footage from Atlanta (if the DVD is Phoenix)?

- Joe set things straight, but I don't think that preview sounded like him at all. There were aspects of his playing there, but nothing that chronologically goes together (the playing reminded me of FIABD or The Extremist, but the style of the backing track sounds more like something from Super Colossal). So unless the Time Machine pedal is actually a time machine, I didn't see how it could've been true. And I mentioned this on Twitter, but I thought it was funny that I can even manage to get into a fake JS video (it used some clips from LISF).

- Thierry Henry should be ashamed of himself. Accidentally touching the ball with your hand when the ref doesn't see it is one thing, but to intentionally cheat? That's just pathetic.

Pip55 - I've been listening to a lot of solo Joe lately (and solo Hagar)...it's quite nice. I don't think I've listened to the actual Chickenfoot album in months (I did watch the bonus DVD though, with the rerelease)...but that's because I'm spoiled and have had so many chances to see the band live.

I was listening to Satch while I was at the gym the other night. I had a random observation...I really like the snare sound on the ITLIS? album. So there you go.

Listening to: Rush - The Big Wheel

When they did the voir dire and asked for your occupation, Joe, did you say: 'I'm a famous rock and roll guitar player'?

People, follow Joe's lead: Always take the jury money.

Once, I signed off to give the 10 dollars a day back to the city because the previous time I had it was for a one day drunk-driving case(guilty!)

The time I gave up the money was, just my luck, for a murder case. That could have been a month, but the perp pled guilty the final minutes before we were to start. All I was thinking about before he chickened out was what I could have done with the money I was going to be giving up.

That would have bought a lot of beer.

Now, This town doesn't see much action, much less murder cases , but we are the only town in this state to be on the Dec.1st movie list!

Take that Portland!

Joe, btw, did you write the 'Sexy Little Thing' solo sitting down or something? :)

I can't wait for dec. 1st.

Whoo!

Al, Joe says they should have a do-over. Bring that up at the next meeting!

JOE, yer the best and I just love ya to bits! You always know when to pop in at just the right time. Thanks for thinking of Chris. Glad yer flu is gone and jury duty is over. Think you had yer fill of lawyers this year? LOL!

Slan, I was telling me mum to drink extra orange juice and make sure to have some bananas while she's on this extra Lasix (water pill). Now I really have a reason to research side effects. Thanks, and my best to yer ma. What a scare that must have been! Thanks for the hug. It's just what the doc ordered :-) Back at ya!

Cappy, Mikesb, Cosmic, and anyone else who sent a nice thought or prayer to us, thanks so much.

Peas Lily, sorry about yer friend.

Pip, now that looks like a hell of a good time!

Have a Meatbat

T-Bones, there's always bread balls!

lol!

Cool... more blue.....Thank you Joe for taking the time to interact with your fans. It means the world to us. Stay healthy!

Michelle- thanks for the condolences. It just does not seem real ...its not sinking in yet.

Wow more blue thanks Joe you should do jury duty more often! Any Australian visits Joe?

To all mums who are poorly at the moment, big love from Oz and to your kids who worry about you too.

Chrispy (is this how you got your nickname?) how is the amp, has the doctor been?
For Chickenfoot in Australia say "aye"!

Skippy, I gave Chris the name Chrispy after he got nailed with some high voltage messing around with one of his amps a while back.

I just added my Chickenfoot vids to the CF site. Have at 'em! I'm to tired to post pictures tonight. I'll get to that when I can.

Great memories!!

Thanks for the info, Joe! :-)

And your solo from Paris is still set for late January, right? Any chance of either show also being released on CD?

Hey Joe!!! When will you be going on tour again? And will you be coming to the Boston area?

Pip55 thank you. It's my homestudio, which is in my livingroom, or maybe I should say: my homestudio is my livingroom. ProTools LE 8.0.1, EZdrummer, master keyboard and soundlibraries, several POD's, Line6 JM4 looper, plenty of pedals incl Satchurator, analog mixer, etc. I would love a Vox Octaver in the Satch-line. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Joe nice to see some blue, suddenly T2J becomes interesting again. Glad you woke up this place. Fifteen dollars! Blood money :-)

A lot of justified outrage on the web about Asian eating habbits. Reasons to be vegetarian: Fried fish eaten alive!
"Eating "rare" delicacies just got to a new level. In China, chefs have figured out a way to keep a fish alive as it gets deep fried and then waits to be eaten.
The shocking video of a deep-fried fish that's still living and moving on a plate. Warning, this may be too graphic for some readers."

Thierry Henry had about five seconds in which to decide to join the immortals.

Listening to: Dream Theater - Black Clouds and Silver Linings

echoin mama M,s post thx peeps

Frits:i dont know whats worse your post or this news Anti wrinkle cream...made from human fat

McKenna: this one's for you!

'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store. 'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line,' said a woman.

I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.

'It's one of them welfare card things. Darn people need to get a job like everyone else,' said the man standing behind me.

The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment.

‘It was me,' he said, pointing to himself.

The young lady's face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove way.

After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps; I had learned never to judge anyone, without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.

Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.

'Why would she do that?' asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. 'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man.

'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,' he said in a very firm voice.

'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,' he replied, Shaking both his hands about.

The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?' pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries.

'It wouldn't take her card' the clerk told him.

'Do you know where she lives?' asked the man who had made the comment.

'Yes, she goes to our church.'

'Excuse me,' he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier, 'Please use my card. PLEASE!' The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.

Hold on,' said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. 'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!' he told everyone in line.

Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts. 'Go back and get two big turkeys,' yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man.

'NO,' yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. 'Four turkeys,' yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work.

When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man. 'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,' he told the man.

The young man looked at the check and said, 'This is really very generous of you.'

'No, ' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.'

Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.

A great example of why we should be kind and patient.

Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.

RED MARBLES

Part 1

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean,hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.

I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr.. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

'Hello Barry, how are you today?'

'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya.. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good.'

'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?'

'Fine. Gittin' stronger 0alla' time.'

'Good. Anything I can help you with?'

'No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas.'

'Would you like to take some home?' asked Mr. Miller

'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'

'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?'

'All I got's my prize marble here...'

'Is that right? Let me see it' said Miller.

'Here 'tis. She's a dandy.'

'I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red DO you have a red one like this at home?' the store owner asked.

'Not zackley but almost..'

'Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble'. Mr.. Miller told the boy.

'Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller.'

Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me. With a smile she said, 'There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances . Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.'
