Hey Joe,
It's been a while since I've posted on here but I think about asking this all the time, so here goes.
In the interview you did on the Live in Paris DVD, you spoke with your interviewer about the song writing process. You said it was something you could talk about for hours haha. I happen to completely agree with that statement and was wondering if you would be down to do some sort of interview strictly on that subject. You could geek out comfortably! So much more appreciation for the music is gained by understanding the nature of its composition, not just its mechanics but rather, why your hands and mind were drawn to its creation... Alot of students stress out thinking you either can write music, or you can't. Any light shed on the true, maniacal nature of the process lets us all know that, there is indeed a process, and that it doesn't just happen like it does on "Glee" haha.
The creative process can be a way of life, and I believe the example should be lead by people who live it seriously. There is barely an information out there, straight from the artists mouth in regards to their true creative process. In other words, really walking through someone in detail a song, or idea's creation, going beyond its superficial explanation i.e. "oh I was sad that day" which come on.... is totally cool, but that barely scratches the surface! Compound this problem with the magazines asking how fast you can "shred" and what was it like to party with Keith Richards....
Ok, I know its not THAT bad, I'm only trying to get you really jazzed about this idea. "Torturing yourself on stage" and this "secret of music" I've heard you mention, they all sound like fascinating subjects! Anyways.... there it is. I hope if this sounds appealing, we could make it happen!
-Mike

Hi Joe,
I saw you in France, the october 27th of 2010, at "Le Colisée" to Roubaix.
A beautiful place to a beautiful music.
It was very great, totally amazing.
I think it was the better show I've never saw !!!
Congratulations !! To you and the band.
I hope to see you with your next tour, but before, I hope, it will be with Chickenfoot !!
So, where are you with the next album ?
Probably ... the "Chickenfoot IV" ?
When could we listen it ??
And when do you think beginning the tour ??
What will be the european dates ??
Particulary, the french dates ...
So much questions ... to ask you.
Thanks to be there.
Yul.

I really like Dust Bowl off Bonamassa's new cd. Really a slick goovin song.
How about Whitesnake releasing a new cd? LOL. They are still rockin after all this time. Coverdale is like 762 years old and still slammin!! Plus the love song tossed in here and there.
I sure can't wait to hear some teaser's from the next Chickenfoot cd.

So true about the bass line comment.....most if not all your fave songs have a strong bass line and they hold up as interesting by themselves!!! Something I noticed early on in the many bands I've been in. Great thinking out there T2Jers!

Right on Alan, I've always wanted them to make a 3rd release, and maybe someday they will get the chance. Great stuff indeed....
Btw Alan, I saw that same pic you posted, and was wondering the same thing, lol, or was he joking, haha!! And is that a G3 in the making or what?!
Zen san: Nice experimentation going on there, and nice work with the thumb..thanks for posting your link....

Ovation : thx for your encouragement. I appreciate. Well.. i just permit myself.. if you want to check my artisanal work, you can go here
I'll get soon a rock prog album downloadable called Centaurus. There's Mark London onto one song, doing a cool & imaginative guitar solo. I'll keep this place posted. Still thx.
About tonebone pedal, it's a very good one.
About thumb & distortion, that's very difficult. I personnaly think that Mark Knopfler & Jeff Beck are the shit of this tone searching.
Blue Moon : indeed, GH & RK sounds great. But Joe smoking, just weird.
