Michelle - I actually keep meaning to check that out and have not gotten around to it yet. But oh yes...I think Chad's drumming on this cd is amazing. It's just very different from chili peppers and the first cf.
I thought this was a great quote from a review from Ultimate Classic Rock:
He heads deep into ‘Physical Graffiti’ territory on the album’s standout track, ‘Dubai Blues.’ As Hagar lays it on extra-thick, even for him, in the role of a lovestruck billionaire sheik, Satriani busts out an ever-evolving series of funk-heavy hard rock riffs while bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Chad Smith percolate away in double-time underneath. As the song builds to it’s impressively complex and compelling climax, you realize Chickenfoot won’t easily be swept under the rug when the mighty Van Halen returns to the airwaves.

I don't doubt the effort that went into CF III. No one doubts the individual talents of the band. But I don't listen to hear all the little technicalities of the mixing. It IS all about the song(s), and outside of Something Gone Wrong, this CD is just a lot of noise.
No offense intended to your opinion, but I don't have to "work" to enjoy a Satch solo album.

I have the same issue too on the Chickenfoot fanclub site, I've logged in both as myself and as Chris, I purchased premium fanclub membership for each of us and both accounts now say we're just the free account and need to upgrade...ermmm....
But, they do give an email addy: FANCLUBSUPPORT@LIVENATIONMERCHANDISE.COM
to email them to get help with your status. It does ask for your original purchase number or some such information which I no longer have cuz that was on a different puter and it died along with all saved emails...soooo, I just hope they can help me to restore both our accounts to premium status.
If not, I'll prolly cry big fat chicken tears =|

Cheese-I paid for my membership too ...now it says free. I t was not free paid my hard earned cash to join.......NOT HAPPY "bout that.
Now my two cents about chickenfoot III ... either ya like it or ya don't...I don't really care . I like it for the most part..not crazy about 3 1/2 Letters (good message- hard to listen to) Love "Somethings Going Wrong" and find the rest of the album enjoyable. But that's me but I 'm not gonna bash those who don't like it or try to convince them their wrong.
...if ya don't like it ya don't like it...end of story.
Because music is subjective and a matter of personal preference ...
.so just because you don't like something it DOES NOT make it crap. I mean I'm not too crazy about the new Metallica- Lou Reed collaboration.....does that make it not good ????
(well maybe...lol)
Anyway hopping off my soap box for now. Have a good one peeps......

Live Nation Sucks Balls ordered 4 Signed Wormhole posters to receive 1 and the amount of postage and double charging they do and phone bills to get shit corrected is beyond a joke.
Like i keep saying Damned if ya do Miss out if ya don't.
But now and i bet it is the case for every original "Chickenhead" they are going to feel cheated that they are now referred to as free members who have to pay again just to get pre order codes for so called Road Test Tours honestly they feel more like lazy ass Sammy can't be fucked travelling they won't let him bring his wabo thru customs Tours some shit like that.
Fair Dinkum Wrong and i am writing here cause i know Joe reads the posts around here and i know that he is better than this well i atleast thought so ,so would be nice to see Joe chime in and say he understands the situation and maybe sort something out.

I'm having the same problem with my Chickenfoot account. I logged in today and it now says that it is a "free" account although I paid for membership a couple of years ago. I don't have the email from a couple of years ago! Sheesh.
My husband and I were going to purchase the premium ticket packages like we always do, but now we won't because we are not paying 40 bucks just to be able to purchase a couple of several hundred dollar packages - especially since we already paid for the account once before.

The awesomeness of having a shit memory is I don't remember if I paid or not, so no worries for me I guess? lol! Haven't logged on yet either. Can't make it to the road test anyways, and I always get crap seats on presales, then see better seats are avail on reg sale date.
oh well...tra~la, tra~la...
Bobby! It's a little blue fuzzy thing!

Pip,
I own a JSX. Like you've read before, the clean channel is awesome! The other two channels are not bad at all. I would say that if you use Eric Johnson's "stages of gain" approach and set the gain on these channels kind of low and get the rest of gain from a distortion pedal, the amp will sound great.
However (and this is a bone I have to pick with Peavey), I have found that the effects loop sucks way too much tone, so using the dirty channels + post gain effects becomes almost impossible to do. All of the sudden, the tone loses all the high end and gets a ton of reverb and the output gets severely reduced. I thought at first that it was my particular amp. I have not tried others, but I remember JOE using the clean channel only and getting all distorted tones from his pedals. So that's that.
I have already retubed mine so I guess I will be keeping it. But after a couple of gigs with it, I think I will emulate JOE's usage of the JSX...

I logged back in to my Chickenfoot account this morning to see if the fiasco with having to pay the double membership fee had been corrected. It wasn't. Today, instead, it now says my account "EXPIRED 2010-4-17". Give me a break. I now feel totally ripped-off.
This household will now boycott Chickenfoot. We won't be buying any CD's, DVD's, merchandise, and certainly not any premium ticket packages ever again. The greed, especially during this economy, is a total turn-off. Especially since they keep trying to tell us they are "not in it for the money" What a bunch of baloney.
Now it is a matter of principle. Any business entity that makes me feel like I got ripped-off never gets any of my $$$$ again.

BrownBow1955 - No offense taken at all. I did listen to the cd in it's entirety twice so that I could just see what tracks jumped out at me right away. Then i put on good headphones and gave it a careful listen. I enjoy doing that but I know it's not for everyone. It just gives me a greater appreciation. It's probably a little nerdy actually, but that's just me. =)

Chelle, if you got the red t shirt with the white lettering that says "chickenhead" and the logo on the front and "fan club" on the sleeve...den u paid for a membership too honey :)
How's the butterfly brigade this mornin'? lol!! Maybe they just liked it there so much they decided to stick around?
PS...I'm gonna give my fanclub people a chance to rectify the situation before I'm too sad or upset...could just be a glitch and they could be working on it.

A few things..
Most fanclubs charge an annual membership fee. And most fanclubs (especially those run by Live Nation / Fanfire) are out to make a profit.
The first time around, I do recall seeing information saying that the membership would only be good through the first album's touring cycle. I can dig up that email/information later, if anyone would like.
With the new memberships, you're basically paying $40 for a $30 shirt, a $5 sticker, and rights to purchase presale tickets. It's not the best deal, but if you like the shirt I guess it's worth it (I like it).
You can have either a "free" and "fan club" membership at the Chickenfoot site. If your old membership expired, you were demoted to a free account. If you buy a new membership, you get the site upgrade that includes the presale code up in the corner just like last time. Your username will stay the same.
...Austin...

I have the expired message in my Chickenfoot account now too. Funny thing is that when I accessed the account a few weeks ago there was no mention of needing to pay again or that my account had expired. It feels like a money grab and I am not comfortable with that at all. After watching the webcast the other night and hearing them say how they are in it for the fans and the story behind 3 1/2 Letters it now sounds very phony and contrived. Also, Ticketmaster is putting their tickets on sale today anyway.

already getting excited for a new SATCH album... tehehe... Listening to a lot of Joe today!
Dont think I have ever mentioned this, but when I got my Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards cd from best buy, I took it out of the case the first time and it was scratched, I was soooo mad! But of course I had to drive about an hour to get it because the best buy in my town didnt have it and there was no cd player in the car so had to wait till I got home! ARG!

Austin, yer posotootely right....I just got an email from Live Nation confirming that my membership was only good for one year and I'd hafta renew and pay again. Guess I musta missed that in the fine print when I first bought my membership. I was too excited, LOL!!
Soo fer now, I'ma let it ride and not renew yet. Most of the shows we go to are GA, so needing to get in on the pre-sale isn't always necessary. I'm not mad or upset, it is what it is and it's my fault fer not paying attention :) I'm still a chickenfingers fan, and most DEFINITELY a Joe-fan fer life!!

Howdy all to Darth Zinc, michelle, slansh, Clarky, cheese, the two jokers above (of course), Do The Stu, Cappy, mikesb and the rest of you Satchheads.
