Thanks for the good wishes Danny, that was nice of you!

Chris and I should be at a Nickelback concert right now but....due to circumstances beyond his control, sort of, he couldn't go after all. So I'm home, grumpy and out of sorts, wishing we were there. Decided not to go on my own...but if it'd been Joe, wild horses couldn't keep me away, LOL!

Sigh......

Anyway, sending out hugs and wishes for all the moms out there to have a lovely day tomorrow, or hope you had a lovely day today in some parts of the world :) I'm going to have my lil mum over for tea and a scary movie, then treat her and my dad to a special dinner and dessert :) I love dems sooooo!

Hi Joe,

I'm a huge fan, so much so, that I own 3 of your Js model guitars, Chromeboy(#485), Crystal Planet (#39), and just recently bought a Red JS1200. Anyway, I was wondering that if you're ever in the San Diego area, that I could somehow get you to sign the "Crystal Planet" and "Chromeboy" guitars. Just as an FYI, my favorite songs are Satch Boogie and Super Colossal, I can play them both. But on Satch, I can only play it at about 90% tempo. There's a number of other songs I'm working of as well...., keep the great music com'n. I'm hop'n you'll come and do a show here sometime, I've never been able to come see you live.

Btw, how do you get the sustain on Satch Boogie during the lead in? The only way I can get it to sound like you is to use a Slide (echh)...

Thanks,

hybes  BigsBunny - How funny you say that about China. I was telling my wife the other night that if China decides to cash in it's chips, we'll be selling entire states to the Chinese, and short of going to war, there's nothing we can do about it. Our country is in a real pickle. We're not all that far from being the Greece of North America

hybes - did you see how the Dalai Lama was treated at the White House earlier this year? let out a side entrance past the garbage. Obama doesn't want to upset China. the US government is for freedom but when it comes to Tibet, can't touch it China owns us.

i heard on the news that the UK has worse debt then Greece. no riots there though? too busy watching Gordon Brown f**k up >=;P

Hey guy's, what's up! :-/

Looking forward to the european tour, it is gonna be awesome. I wonder if Joe will drop in at the Guitar Show because I believe it is around the same time. :-)

I can only hope I guess.

Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies out there, and a special nod to all those mom's who are no longer here with us but always in our hearts.

Love Love Love

BigBunny - Ya, that's a real shame. It's very hypocritical if you ask me. The Chinese know they have us. They have been cyber attacking our electrical grid for the past couple of years now and we know it and can't do anything about it. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm an over the top positive guy, but watching the past 20 years in this country really makes me believe our days are numbered as a country with any clout. Hopefully I'm wrong. I hate to think that my kids and grand kids will have to endure that.

On to a bright note. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS ON THE SITE.

Yesterday was a perfect day. Met up with family at the river, my mom & dad, brothers & sister-in-laws etc. The weather wonderful and as the sun was setting we sipped red wine and ate freshly caught fish taco's...after which my youngest daughter's boyfriend played his guitar & harmonica for us as we all mingled around the campfire. :-)

TheHawkguy- Thank you for your Mothers day wishes, was very kind. Hope you have a great day!

Cheese- I am sorry U are missing your concert ,bummer but I am sure your day will still be wonderful ..'cause you are spending it with your awesome parents.

Tomorrow I am going to a Daughtry concert with my sis and youngest daughter in Yakima WA. Should be fun, and Chris Daughtry is quite easy on the eyes IMHO..........

JsTony- Hugs for you .....( AND) for our JOE too. I hope memories will not be too painful today so soon after your loss.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there! a little something i wrote for my mom a few years ago, redicated to all the moms here!

M is for the many times you stood by me, even when i made the wrong choices in my life.

O is for the one thing i can always be sure of, my mom will always love me.

T thank you for all the sacrifices you made in your life so that i could be happier in mine.

H is for the heartfelt love you always showed me no matter how little i showed you.

E for everything you have done for me, whithout your guidence i would not be who i am today.

R for the reason i write this to you. I want you to know that no matter where my life takes me, I know that i will always have the love, support and unwavering dedication to my happiness that only a mother can give. when all is said and done i know i will never lose your love and it makes my world a better place thinking of you mother.

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 :)
