Just watched the US President's speech. He always seems to be reasonable, says the right things and conveys the right sentiments.

It is about damn TIME they got the SOB that turned our country upside down!!!!! May he rote in HELL!!!!!

Damn good speech Mr.President.

Osama is dead, good riddance.

Osama Bin Laden has been found dead. Not only is this a huge moment for America, but for the entire world.

It's time to no longer live in fear and let our pride grow strong.

It's time for a brand new day to emerge from the darkness.

It's time for the lives lost to be avenged by their fellow comrades.

It's time for justice to be the hero of today.

It's time for a bright future.

A happy one.

Where hate and fear don't govern our lives.

When we can look into the big, blue horizon and know there's peace.

Where we can live in a world of hope.

Hi Everyone.

I hope everyone is well. Work, running, and learning some guitar has been keeping me busy. I have the next couple days off so I'm going to try to get some running in before my next big race. I'll be in Indianapolis this Friday & Saturday to run the Indy-Mini (Half-Marathon) on Saturday. It sells out every year (35,000 entries), and this will be my third time running this. I enjoy this run.

Just found out on the news that Osama Bin Laden is dead. That is good news to hear for the U.S. I praise the U.S. Troops for their bravery and hardwork. God Bless them all and the U.S.A.

To answer whoever asks about my running. I sometimes run with my MP3 player with headphones. It depends on how I feel. If I do a long run, like a two hour run, most of the time, I have my music. When it comes to the races that I do, I never have my music, because I focus on the run.

Joe: Great to see that blue. I see you're coming to my home state of Indiana, the day before your birthday. I'm going to try to see if I'm able to see you in Hammond. It was great seeing you at Sweetwater back in March of 2010. One of my friends, who is teaching me some guitar, is a fan and would like to come see you as well. You think you'll be able to do any autographs/signings or photo shots, and perhaps sign my JS100 (Limited Edition White)? It will be neat if you did; if not, that's cool.

Talk to you peeps later.

Sadaam, check

Bin Laden, check

im going to see simon mcbride tonight! For those of you who dont know, he is an awesome blues rock guitarist and songwriter.

And he supported Joe for the England part of the tour.

hi Joe you legend. When is the next G3 tour? also, when are you next coming to England. I loved your Newcastle show that i saw.

When i looked at some people pictures of the show, i realized that if i had got there half an hour earlier, i would have met you :-(. Excellent show though!

Also, what is the wise choice for someone like me who is young, and wants a really good guitar.

Save up for a JS1000 or 1200

Or buy a JS100?

I´d like to play the guitar like you.

You are awesome Satch!!

And I have a question....

wow - let's dance

Gettin my Satch on!!! WOOP WOOP!!

HEY JOE- how are you? Hope all is well with you and the family! What would you say your favorite place you have been is? Hope I can see you with Chickenfoot this tour :)

I have always wanted to go to Seattle, so I can mark that off the list! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Italy, Ireland, and San Fran!

Congrats in advance to everyone who scores tickets to the Cliff Cultreri benefit in LA in July - that would be a great show.

MESSAGE FROM JOE Hello to all my fans around the world! The Live in Montreal 3D-film/DVD/CD project is nearing completion as we've just mastered the audio, and it sounds HUGE! I'll let you know about release schedules as soon as I get them.

Chickenfoot's second album is almost finished, and we're hoping to mix sometime in June. It is heavier, and better than the first one, and I can't wait to get it out there!

Steve Vai and I are doing a benefit show for Cliff Cultreri at the Hollywood HOB on Sunday, July 10th. Please follow this link for more info...

Thanks for your continued support of all things Joe!

Got the news e-mail about the CD/DVD set...very disappointing though, is there really not going to be a Blu-ray with 24-bit high resolution audio? Lossy DVD multi-channel and bit-rate starved MPEG-2 480i video is so 1990's.
