oxley11 - Cool YouTube video...that's a neat thing that you put together. A few comments from me:

- Ceremony: My favorite parts of this song aren't in the solo at all...in fact, my favorite moment would be the lick that begins right where your clip ends, haha. ;-)
- Chords Of Life: One of my favorite Satch moments ever...nice choice!
- New Blues: Good, but if I had to pick one moment from The Extremist it'd be from Why (2:34-2:52 specifically).
- Rubina: The ending to that solo is another of my favorite Satch moments.
- A Cool New Way: I'd go with another song from Super Colossal instead of this one...probably Ten Words (1:42-2:26).

Looking forward to the rest of your list...I wonder if the pieces I mentioned will be on it.

jsTony, so very sorry to hear about yer mum. Sending good healing vibes to you and yer family. ((hugs))

thanx for the well wishes blue, my sister lives in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, of like she said yesterday no Hope Valley!lol even though it's a small state her end of it, the southern part got 6 inches more rain than we did in the northern part.

thanx michelle, peace, glitz! we're fine, just a little tired of bailing water. our house is fine. when i finished our basement to install our Cabo Club Northeast, i waterproofed all the walls and floor! alot of other people have lost everything though. when we were driving home from my sisters, it took 2 hours for a 45 minute ride becuase of all the road closures, we saw a lot of misery. some people's homes are totally submerged and you just know they aren't going to get any help from the insurance companies. they'll probably deny coverage due to an act of god or something like that. it really was heartbreaking. me and the mrs. are going to try to head to the worst area today to see if we can help in some way. hard to sit by and watch people in your local area in need and not help.

i'm chompin at the bit for another Chickenfoot cd and tour! they definitely just scratched the surface.

jsTony: Tony, I'm sorry to hear the loss of your mother. My prayers & condolences go out to you and the family.

JS Tony, very sorry to hear on what happened to your mom...may she rest in peace

@Peace Lily-I completely forgot, I could've posted that. Thanks for doing it for me. One of his best ballads. :)

Oxley11- Your welcome , I already had "Home " in queue to play. :-)

Skippy-Re; Chickenfoot Are you having a bit of fun with us? Seeing as its........well..... you know.

My condolences, too, Tony. Wow, death is always a tough thing to talk about. Yet, nothing soothes our uneasiness like good friends to share in our grief..'cause we all get there at different times of life.

I spent 30 years of my life raised heathen. :-) No spiritual belief except this very subtle nagging on the inside that there must be something more out there. Until I met Melissa. Now, I've been a believer of Jesus for the last 20 years and have seen two totally different impacts on my life & vast differences of perspectives.

I once had a curiosity with death...where will I go? If anywhere? Typically a fear because of the unknown. And , now I have a confidence in a new & perfect beginning. Total peace about this next eternal life, and a new outlook that stays fresh every year regarding a need to live each day to it's fullest.

It's carried over into my music, too. Where I once was a learning guitarist in a late 70's rock band...playing Zepp, Blue Oyster Cult, Skynyrd, Stones, Yes, etc....now I spend it playing in our local church and...where songwriting was once elusive and quite a struggle...now the lyrics come with a renewed focus...and the music is much easier to develop now that I can let go and let the Holy Spirit take control and drive my inspiration to a work that honors Christ & not myself.

Agape love is certainly where it's at. That self-sacrificing love that holds a higher regard for the person beheld...than for your own needs and perspectives. Well...that's my story. It got me through the times of watching a father-in-law pass from colon cancer...or seeing my grandmother pass from it just being her time with age (and I lived with her in those days).

But, what a drive in music, too, eh? Look at the works out there and look at what is truly spiritually driven...there's a marked difference if done in the proper perspective. So, death for me is the ultimate new beginning...the mark of being set free from the decay of this world that saddens us all...and of a new hope of a life that's forever unchanging. :-)

Peace everyone! Sorry to digress so much from a board that honors Joe's music. But, I've seen enough posts here to see what a band of family you've all become...especially you 'old timers' in here! :-)
