Looking forward to the FOOT at the Schnitzer tonight in Portland! I've heard this tour has been pretty awesome so far.
I'm so glad they decided to hit PDX, and at a venue that's quite a bit more intimate than a place like the Rose Garden.
And Peace Lily: Yeah, this isn't one of Joe's solo shows, but I've heard he does get pretty wild on the guitar on Chickenfoot's live shows. I bet you'll enjoy it. :)

Hey guys! I have been absolutely loving my JS1000 so far, it plays excellently and barely a day has gone by where i havent played it!
I also have a question:
How can you connect VOX amplugs to an amplifier? Being able to play with Joe's amplug tone through a proper amp would be awesome! I know it's possible, as Joe does it on the promo video for his amplug...Yeah anyway, how do you do it? Thaaaanks :-)

Brian- Little late now, but yes, my ticket was will call. Luckily I purchased insurance on it but they need all kinds of crazy notes from my wife's doctor stating the she wasn't able to make the trip and I had to be here to take care of her rather than go to Portland. I don't know if it's worth getting my $70 back or not, lol!

Just when I think I can't possibly lose any more respect (less than zero?) for Axl Rose, he cranks it up another notch!
No Slash shirts allowed at his show? Seriously? What a pathetic childish bastard. Not just the guys, but any woman wearing a Slash shirt was supposed to take it off? The way it sounds the shirts were not allowed IN the venue, so WTF? It's not bad enough he went on late and most of the people had to leave after a few songs to catch the last train, but then to be forced to take off your shirt? Fuck you dude! WHY people even give this guy their money is beyond me.

I'm shock to find that out too, I just don't understand on why rock stars try to downgrade toward a fan in the crowds, I can also see why some band mates can just overlook and some are just pure jerks...
Does anyone know the history relationship between mr axl rose and slash? did they ever got along with each other over the years? just wondering.

And I'm back. What can I say about yesterday's Chickenfoot show in Portland. Other than Joe you sure can play the F out of your guitar. I'd never been to the Schnitzer, makes the Roseland look like a dump. lol Seriously I really liked the show which, could of been a few more songs longer. Our seats were upgraded a little from what we were given because of my wife's wheelchair, nonetheless the new locations wasn't bad easy in and out for my wife.
Got to see some of the gang from the Tahoe from a couple years ago. Even if only briefly it was nice to see cheese & her son, Brian and his Mrs. A little mini reunion.

bluebuffalo - Glad to hear you two made it to the show. I hope we find ourselves at the same show again sometime in the future...Lake Tahoe in 2009 was a lot of fun.
oxley11 - I'm considering wearing a Chickenfoot shirt when I see Van Halen next week. I don't think I'll be the only one, as the shows are so close together (Chickenfoot plays LA on Sunday and then Van Halen is in Anaheim on Tuesday).
I'll be representing Sammy and Mikey either way...If I don't wear a Chickenfoot shirt, I'll go with my 2004 Van Halen shirt.
Speaking of Slash, does anyone have his new album, Apocalyptic Love? It's pretty killer...
...Austin...

Finally back from Portland !!!!!!! Very tired but very happy...a Chickenfoot show is definitely an experience ...my ears are not ringing though lol
They musta turned down the volume a lil for Portland maybe.
did not get to visit to much with peeps :/ just a wee bit but always wonderful to see folks and visit ....
My sis got some awesome pics of Joe...I think she was somewhat mesmerized . It was her first experience listening to Chickenfoot live and also seeing Joe play. Hope to post more about the show later if I can compose my thoughts and find the time to post .... :-)

Stu- I do have Apocalyptic Love, but haven't given it a full run-through yet. So far it has not struck a chord with me, pun intended.
Glad to hear you all had a good time seeing the Foot! What songs did they play?

Gotta give the Slash cd a go, I don't mind his tunes atall atall
Axl is in the middle of a tour with fake GnR.. He just had a gig here a few weeks ago, my mate who is an avid GnR fan left before it was over!
The same gig was on a year or 2 ago when he was 2 hrs late, so the folks threw bottles at him and he stormed off
Even though I used to love GnR... cba going to see William and friends

Thanks Peace Lily- It makes me feel a little better to know that I have already seen 6 of the 14 songs performed live twice. Still, I would have loved to have seen them again; plus all the new stuff, esp. Lighten up, Bigfoot, Something going wrong, Diff Devil and Up Next.
Maybe next time!

Thanks for the feed back on the vid but I must tell you that it is not my video. I can't do too many things at once so I chose to enjoy the concert and rock out instead of trying to record. :-)
My sis & I were in section B row G seats 11 & 12. About seven rows back from the stage. Joe's side ...we had a perfect view (most of the time) of the concert. There were a few extra tall peeps so sometimes I had to duck down & look between them to see Joe's fingers flying thru his solo's.
I was surprised how often my focus was on Sam however....he is definitely a charismatic front man personable with the fans. I was impressed with his energy level and thought his voice was in excellent form that night.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the whole concert!!!
Still waiting for sis to upload her pics though.... I am feeling a lil impatient waiting . :-)
