Hey Joe & all, All I can say is that I truley hope that I missed the Arizona leg of the Black Swans Tour. I have been glued to the site AND to the local venues and have seen nothing...this is most disturbing! All fairness to Cliff and Chickenfoot(I too am a Foot Soldir=er!) but I will be saddened to think that I might not get the chance to see "Premonition" live.

I have just seen the "Posted Messages" that may shed some light on to why there have been no Arizona shows. I am truley saddened Joe. After all (at least my relatives, which are from Italy) were stranded on Ellis Island WAITING for there turn to ENTER this country-knowing and accepting that this was the process. At least your German-born example didn't get restricted to an island of the New York coast. And please remember that these are the same people that went on to be respected business people in Chicago-not identity theiving liars here ILLEGALLY-right or wrong.

I never thought that such an incredible gift like that of music (especially something as theraputic as your music) would be used as a tool against people for standing-up for themselves and thier property and even their Country, our laws DO state that their Visa Papers can be requested and reviewed at ANY TIME.

20+ years of trying to see you play and every time something happens that prevents me from seeing you.

Today was my birthday and you were making an appearance in Ottawa. An of course a freak storm collapses the stage that Cheap Trick were playing on and everything is shut down. I believe people are hurt, so this was a serious disaster.

It was really a surreal event. I saw a tech running in the downpour trying to protect a Les Paul.

Please, think about a visiting ottawa again!

Wow the storm was that bad?? Hope everyone, and the equipment, is OK.

Its our turn for a tour Joe!!

Uh-oh, shits gone sideways!! That's some scary stuff!

Thank you Jesus for saving our guys and no major injuries.

so we're standing on the side of the stage at the Ottawa Blues Fest watching Cheap Trick killing it..then this happens: tinyurl.com/449ouyy (see link above)

OMFG! That was some SCARY shit. I was watching Mike Manning setting up Joe's Gear (on the rail) and listening to Cheap Trick playing at the stage beside us, one minute they are playing I Want You To Want Me and the next their stage is completely gone! I almost couldn't believe my own eyes. Very surreal.

I was watching from the Back Bar and it was like watching a 3-D natural disaster movie unfold in front of me. Too bad the show was cancelled but good news that there were no serious injuries and no fatalities. I sure hope Joe and the band come back another time.

Wow so I just heard about the storm. Thy is so scary. Literally made my heart sink. Praise god everyone is ok and there were only minor injuries.

Hey Black Dog, seeing the Nuge in August at the same venue... Casino Rama in Orillia. They tend to get a lot of great acts at very good prices. Nuge tickets are only $40. I'm about halfway back, and so seats are not the greatest, but not terrible. Joe tickets were 16 rows back and center.

michelle & Peace - thank you for those links! those lucky canucks! ... i mean canadians >=;)

Satch & MetallicA on the same stage, same night ***drools*** my fav. guitarist & my fav. band ***drools***

Hi Joe, I attended your show at Casino Rama on July 15 and it was a great show as usual. That was number 11 for me (the same as Nigel's settings on his amps)!!! Let me wish you a belated happy birthday although I was in the front ro singing my lungs out so I hope your heard! Also I was waving 2 albums most of the night - Surfing, and also Flying in a blue Dream - and was hoping you could have signed them but no such luck. Any chance I could send the covers to you and get you to sign them?

Rock on! Can't wait for the new Chickenfoot cd also.

I was attending the show at "festival d'été de Québec" and I want to thank you for comming to our city and giving us such a great show. To make a long story short, things were terribly wrong in my life those past few months and I used to play/teach guitar but since given up on playing altogether. Seing you and Metallica on stage inspired me and I picked up my guitar as soon as I came back home after the show. I thank you for bringing the love to play music to me again. You along with Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Marty Friedman and Jason Becker were always an inspiration to me and I could nit be more inspired then this last saturday by your display of passion!

Had the tune Kitten's got claws going round in my head all day driving me mad cause it's not the Whitesnake version and I couldn't remember who it is, it's just come to me that it's Steve Vai, at least I think so. Great song annyhoo.

If anyone's heard of the mafia game of educated guessing, then get cho ass in here now and sign up.
