Hey you Joe!

I am a huge Chickenfoot fan. I saw you guys at the Myth in Maplewood, MN on August 10, 2009. GREEAT SHOW!

Anyway, I have an idea for a cover song you guys can play on your next world tour.

I was listening to the radio the other day and Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" came on, and I immediately started hearing your guitar playing in the opening riffs! Then I started hearing Sammy singing (which he would have the perfect voice for) and Mike's background vocals, then I imagined Chad on drums.

I told my Dad (who is a big Chickenfoot fan too) that "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" would be a great song for you guys to play live in concert, and he agreed!

So maybe you guys can play that song on your next tour, because that would be amazing if you guys played that on the next Chickenfoot world tour!

Also, ever since I heard of Chickenfoot, I started loving all your guys's solo stuff including yours. Your a hell of a guitarist Joe!!

Hey again Joe,

Listen, Im doing a concert with my guitar teacher, his band, and all his other students on May 23, 2010. Im gonna be playin three songs and I was wondering if you wanted to come wand watch me play. It's gonna be at Bogarts Nightclub in Apple Valley, MN. I know your probably busy but it would mean a lot if one of my idols could come and watch me play. But if you cant come, its ok.

Happy Mother's Day, moms! Hope you all have a great day today. And Joe, thoughts of you this holiday...I hope you/your siblings are able to spend today thinking of the many wonderful memories of you all and your mom over the years.

Can anyone think of any good mom-related music for a song of the day? My Kinda Girl is a bit too specific for everyone, and other songs with obvious-looking titles (Pink Floyd's Mother, this is directed at you!) aren't appropriate for the holiday.

Anything?

Well I was browsing the radio last night, and tried Radio 3 as everything else was talking - can't be doing with that ;-),would never play that normally! Anyway, Mike Walker's 'In Two Minds' came on - & I thought I know this song!!! It was nearly exactly the same as 'Killer Bee Bop' from Joe's self titled album! Take a listen In Two Minds Webmaster Jon, can you let Joe know?? Apparently the song came out in 2008. EDIT: just had a quick listen to some other stuff of his & it's NoTHinG like Joe's music LOL. I'm sure it's all a coincidence.

Good morning Joe! As its 12:18 am here in Thessaloniki,Greece. Have all your cd/dvds and I wanted to ask you 2 questions. 1)Will our Paris Dvd be released on Blu RAY REGION FREE? 2)Any plans for an acoustic album?

Hope all the Mums have had a great day, I know I did. Iron Man 2 was fantastic, especially since I was treated to the luxury cinema.

Peace - sounds like a wonderful day you had.

Do The Stu - didn't Chrissie Hyne have "Hymn to Her"? I vaguely recall it.

Hi Joe,

Would love to have you come down to play in India. You have tons of fans here, dying to see and hear you live !

You're God sent !

Take care.

Can't help myself....

My lil mum at dinner tonight

and not to be forgotten, my dad :)

We had a lovely afternoon and dinner together, my mom and I watched Terminator 3, LOL....and then my dad joined us for a visit and dinner and some kitty time :)

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms, Grandmas, Aunts. Stepmoms, and all you ladies out there.

Joe: Happy Mother's Day to Rubina and too your late Mom. Prayers to y'all.

I ran the Indy-Mini last Saturday and my (unofficial time) was 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 30 seconds for the half-marathon. That's 5 and a half minutes faster than last year. I not only received a medal for finishing, I also finished in the top 500 and received an extra medal for that. I'll find out my official time & placing soon.

I also worked Mother's Day Buffet earlier today, and we had a little over 650 people coming out to eat, including my folks. Glad that's another holiday buffet (out of the way).

Cheese101: Great pics.

BTW, I've listened to Super Colossal (a number of times), and enjoyed every song on there, especially Crowd Chant. That was probably a motivational song for me before that Indy-Mini run. Next up: Satriani Live.

Best to you all.

Joe.

Come back to New Zealand!!!!!!

Glitzman- Congrats on your time. You had a very busy weekend with your running and restaurant work.

Don- I enjoyed your Mothers Day poem, thank you for sharing.

cheese- Thanx for sharing the photos of your folks. Looks like your Mom & Dad were having a great time . :-)

Skippy- I remember when I used to get vouchers from my kids but my kids are all about grown.... .goes by too fast.

Glitz Man - Nice job on the half marathon. 13 miles is a loooooooong ways! lol.

I have always been a big fan of super colossal. There is some great work there. I think you'll really enjoy Live 2006. The version of Circles on this one is my favorite version ever.

Hey everybody!! Haven't posted in about a week or so. I saw Iron Man 2 on Friday and it was pretty good. Wasn't as good as the first one (in my opinion), but I'm not going to say why. I'm not a spoiler. lol But that doesn't mean it was bad by any means. The special effects were as good as flawless as always. After I saw the movie with my uncle, we went to a bar and they had an Internet Jukebox. Of course I had to look for Joe and they had MOST of his songs. They were missing about maybe 10. But I played the Live version of Big Bad Moon. It was only one dollar which was very worth it. I wanted to play Summer Song also, but more people started coming in and it got too loud. I could barely hear the music after around 11:30.

DESPERATELY waiting for a release date on the Ice 9 pedal. If somebody knows please tell the world.

I'm catching up on weekend stuff...

I agree on Australia, but "on yer swing through Europe!"...? What kind of twisted Satch geography is that? ;-)

Yeah, that's been a problem going back a few years now. I think it'd be really interesting for the US to cut all ties internationally for a few years...pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan and stop going to Asia for cheap labor/manufacturing. Prices would go up initially, but soon EVERYONE in the US would have a job. I don't think that's a healthy long-term solution, but I think it's always good to shake things up every now and then.

I haven't had one since...last month, maybe? Haha...

Pori Finland 2000 - wasn't that where Joe had a guitar shaped birthday cake from Jussi? :-) Good times man, good times!

Ahh yeah - there it is! Love the archives on this site! lol! Great memories! Totally forgot about the book of greetings :-)

Chadley, thanks for the Mum's day wishes. Glad you had a great time with Lhadly!
