Chickenfoot - Big Foot
I like this one...it's crunchy but still plenty melodic. If I had to pick two songs to compare it to, I'd go with Soundgarden's Rhinosaur (from Down On The Upside) and Sammy Hagar's 24365 (from Cosmic Universal Fashion).
To compare it to early releases from the first album, I like it more than Oh Yeah and Down The Drain. It's on the same level as Soap On A Rope to me right now, although Big Foot definitely has better lyrics.
I don't like this mix as much as the first album...hopefully that's just because this is a compressed internet stream.
Listening to: Chickenfoot - Big Foot

@Do The Stu-yeah it's probably because it's on the internet. It'll sound better coming off the CD because audio files lose some of their quality after getting compressed and going on the internet. The guitar doesn't sound as punchy as it does when you listen to the preview. And the cymbals on the drums sound too tinny. Just loss of sound integrity, though.
And does anybody know what radio station they're playing it on and when?

When I first heard the song was called Big Foot I thought it was Bigfoot, like Sasquatch. But now I can listen to the lyrics and its not... :( but I like it. :)

Big Foot - great to have a new tune, very similar to Chickenfoot I, best part is from 2;20 onwards. And Sammy left out the word "dirty". Not that there's anything wrong with the word, he just over-used it on CFI.
Pip - come one mate, you know you like to do those ustream things in your birthday suit.

I like the new Chickenfoot song. It is cruchy...I like that. Good guitar parts. Lots of off beat changes.
My favorite part of lyrics so far is Sammy saying he's got Houses of the Holy on the box. Nice one for Zep!
Looking forward to hearing this whole thing with my best headphones on! I sure hope this song makes airwaves here in OKC. We need something hot here other than the heat.

All the reviews are saying the best pickup combo is a PAF Joe in the neck and a Mo'Joe in the bridge.
But my Ibanez RG5EX1 has a middle pickup that Joe doesn't have, what should I put there?
and what is the difference between regular and F spaced?
Does the fact that my guitar has 24 frets affect the neck pickup? because the js guitars have 22 except the js2400 which has rail pickups at the neck.
and one last thing, does the chrome pickups sound nicer? it costs almost twice as much as the others, it definately looks cool but how does it sound compared to the others?

Hello, I am Brazilian and I'm 53, I'm industrial designer since 1999 and working with import of hospital supplies.
My husband and I have a company. I love the guitar and its sound is my favorite.
I love your guitar. Finally had the courage to come to your site and try to talk with you. I have a son who is 22 years old who works with us. He studies music and plays guitar, it was he who introduced me to the sound of Joe Satriani, which I fell in love. He studied classical music from an early age his books are in English and Italian, so working with us from Monday to Friday and all the nights and weekends only studied music, want to study in Berkee / Boston, I think in 2011 will be able to go. Anyway I am a mother like any other business but when the guitar is, I am a teenager. When I'm driving only hear your music.
Desculpe por meu inglês, eu uso o google para me ajudar.
Quando você fará show no Brasil? Serei a primeira a comprar o ingresso.
Obrigada por me dar oportunidade de escrever para você, é minha primeira vez que escrevo a alguém em um site.
Se você puder me retorne.
Acho que não sou tão velha quanto minha idade, pois meu filho e seus amigos ainda se divertem comigo e me apoiam.
Obrigada e até mais, se me permitir.
Obs: Meu nome é Magali Libardi Tiengo Di Toro( meu sobrenome é italiano).
Obrigada.
Best regards.
Magali.

Sorry for my English, I use google to help me.
When you will show in Brazil? Be the first to buy a ticket.
Thank you for giving me opportunity to write to you, is my first time writing to someone on a website.
If you can return to me.
I'm not as old as my age as my son and his friends still have fun with me and support me.
Thank you and more, if I may.
Note: My name is Magali Di Toro Libardi Tiengo (my surname is Italian).
Thank you.
Best regards.
Magali.

Guitarman77897- I went with the PAF Joe/Mo'Joe combo in my JS100 and love it. If I remember correctly, F spaced pickups are for guitars with double locking trems (Floyd Rose-Spacing). It has to do with the spacing of the pole pieces, or distance between the strings. As for the single coil p/u in the middle, I'd consider something like the DiMarzio Pro Track, which is what Joe uses at the neck position on the JS2400. Just my two cents.
Loving Big Foot, BTW!!!
Ian

blew out my amp, will take 2 weeks to repair.
Guitarman without guitar for 2 weeks.
I am sad...
I am also sad for Randell, its gotta be the hardest thing to lose an immediate family member, I have lost both my grandfathers, and that was hard enough, but a brother has got to sting a lot.
my condolences...

Its a tube combo amp, when I turned it on there was a loud pop and it stopped working.
Its a Peavey valveking royal 8, it was really nice and there aren't a whole lot of tube amps for $200. And Guitar Center doesn't sell them any more.
I already took it to American TV for repairs. There was a $40 fee up front. they said it would not cost more than $65, but if the tube needs replacing that could easily be $75 for the part.
I hope they can fix it because if they can't I won't be able to get another one like it and would have to switch to a valveking 112, at $420. Which I would rather not do at the moment.
If I need to buy a new amp, is there any tube combo amp between $200 and $300?
I was at Guitar Center yesterday and was looking around, there were plenty of $200-$300 amps by Marshall, Line 6, Peavey, Vox etc. but not one of them was a tube amp.
I wanted to try the Joe combo amp. But then saw it was $1500. Thats more than the JSX head, must be amazing.
If there is a cheap half stack I might consider it. I saw a Marshall half stack for $550 and another for $600.
Joe is gonna release his modified Marshall head and I have no idea how much that is gonna cost.
So now I am gonna have to wait a couple weeks for the amp, so I sent the Big Bad Wah back and am gonna replace it. Hopefully this one won't squeak. And it was actually more of a nails on a chalkboard kind of scratchy sound. It sounded like it could do damage to the pedal so fingers crossed this one works better.
The pickups are gonna have to wait as well. I am going with the PAF Joe in the neck and a Mo'Joe in the bridge. and I think I will take Turbo's reccomendation and put a Pro Track in the middle.
So if I need F spaced pickups, and the Pro Track doesn't come in F spaced, will that matter?

The tubes they had on display at guitar center were $75, on the site I am seeing them anywhere from $10 for one to $150 for a two pack.
how much does the tube affect the tone? Should I have American just replace it with whatever it had before or buy a better tube and have them use that?
