Hello all!
New here. I've been a fan of Sammy's for almost 30 years and I've always loved Joe's playing, but I only have the one album - 'Surfing With The Alien" and it's on vinyl, so I gotta get it on CD too. Needless to say, I really need to get some more of his material. What do you all recommend on my next JS album purchase? I can't afford to run out and get them all (wish I could!) but I just wanna hear more of him now! Saw CF in SF at The Fillmore. These guys are so great!!! I have a few vids up on YouTube (username-RedJeanette) from that show if anyone's interested. Glad I found this place! Take care everyone!!!
Love & Peace,
~JA~ /|\

JSP: I suppose I did know about the whole s.count thing in a way....probably just tried to kid myself, but when the BBC tells you you can't ignore it. :)
How about some Electric Gyspy for your Wednesday or whatever it is wherever you are :)

Do The Stu,
You asked me for some coments on the U2 360 tour...
Here it goes..
I had more fun in the Vertigo tour, probably because I liked more "How to dismantle.." than "No line on the horizon".
Having said that, the stage is a milestone in rock history when played in big stadiums. From now on, I guess other big bands will use this concept. U2 call it "the claw". Imagine a spider with only four legs standing at 3/8 of the lenght of a football stadium. The body of the spiders holds the speakers and the video screen. The thin legs hold the light guns, and allows a clear view of the stage from any seat of the 360º of the stadium.
I will not unveil some of the surprises of the show. I will just say they played a tribute to Michael Jackson, when at the middle of "Angel of Harlem" Bono sang some verses of "Man in the mirror" and "Don't stop til you get enough".
They played seven tracks of the new album, most of them at the beggining and of course hits of their repertory (One, With or without you, streets no name, Sunday bloody sunday, Pride (In the name of Lord, Still haven't found....)
For those interested, the supporting band was "Snow Patrol". Even those who know nothing about them will recognize the tune "chasing cars" if they follow Grey's Anatomy.
My advise for those hesitating: Go ! Having the experience of a show with such an innovative stage is worth it

Blue.... that was too f*n funny! My wife is a huge Sammy fan and even she had to laugh at that one!
Hey Jeanette! Me and the Mrs. signed up here recently. A little less drama on this board. Don't know if I've been here long enough to extend a welcome to the board or not, but I say welcome. Oh shoot didn't even think, can you guess who this is by the name?
Not sure if anyone knows or not but RubyG's postings are done with an automated program so ignoring or not won't have any effect.
Happy B-day to the Webmaster, might be late or early, on the east coast of u.s. so not sure. And I must say that you do a great job here. I've been on other boards and they're not so great! Great job!

hello joe
I'm sad that Michael Jackson left us. I console by listening to your music. It would indeed be if you could one day compose a piece in homage to Michael.

Hey Joe, just thought I'd say tell you that as a guitarist, your music has really influenced me, my favorite songs of yours are "Surfing with the alien", "Satch Boogie", "Crystal Planet" and "If I could fly"
I love how your guitar sounds with the effects on surfing with the alien, did you use chrous and delay effects?
I've also gotten into your students music, that of Steve Vai, and his song "For the love of God". I was surprised to hear that you taught him, you really are a legend. =)
As a guitarist who is learning some of your songs, I seem to have a problem with doing a bend with vibrato, I can do normal bends and vibrato's without bending just fine, I was wondering if you could give me any advice, on specific techniques etc.
I also have problems with doing fast, alternate picking from string to string, on solo's like Surfing with the Alien, any help please?
My guitar amp is a Line 6 Spider III 75 Watt, there is a Satch Boogie and your phaser pre-sets on it, just wondering; did you actually help make them with Line 6?
PS: Do you still give guitar lessons, and if so can you teach me? =P
Hope to see you live or in person at some point.
Cheers from England.

Happy Canada Day hosers!
Working an 11 hr. shift (at double-time and a half!) and it's far and away THE most insane day for bus drivers. Everything goes! Most of the city goes downtown to booze up and riot... then they take the bus (for free!) home after they've inebriated themselves beyond all recognition.
Party on Wayne!
Party on Garth!
Wish me luck... I'm gonna need it!
(Hopefully no roof-surfers (again) this year!)
smooches,

Chee, the tour dates in that article still have the band at the Borgata. No HOB listed. *sigh*
Welcome Sammy fans! Don't feed the sheep. Remember, we're all here but some of us are not all there. Enjoy the ride and always wear your seatbelt.
Al, you can walk the walk with Sebby (as E calls him). He's crossed the line of good taste now. lol! yeeeeeehaw!
I prefare a good Bitchslap, but even that is lame compared to the old stuff.
Here's what I want you singing AL - Club Michelle. You can dance around yer room like a mo and be happy & carefree like you were when you were 21.
New AIC Not bad :-)

Do the Stu - Grew up with seeing Sammy and the early work of his, Red, Heavy Metal, Can't Drive 55, etc. Really a big fan of his Montrose days as well. Just got word that my work may have me in KS during the show there on the 11th of Aug. Hope they stay together for a couple of albums. Haven't seen Joe in a couple of years - can't wait. Going to the show in Dallas - first time for the wife to see Joe live - she is stoked about going. She is now a member of the Chickenfoot fan club and this website as well. I honestly enjoy every track on the new album. Rock On!

Hey Scuba! sorry guess I missed that one. I missed a day and went through the new posts a little too quick.
Happy Canada Day to all those here from there!
It's kind of wierd to hear all those complaining about the weather where they are. We here in the NE US had one day of sun in the last month, yesterday, and its supposed to be sunny in the 80's this time of year. I told the mrs. that the country flip flopped and we should change our name to Seatle.lol

The Irish and the Scots Are From the Same Tribe
Ireland used to be divided up into five parts, the five fifths. There was a northern fifth, Ulster, a western fifth, Connaught, a southern fifth, Munster, an eastern fifth, Leinster and a middle fifth, Mide. Click here to see a map of the five fifths.
The Ulster Cycle is a set of stories which are grounded in the five fifths. Indeed, they are primarily concerned with Cú Chulainn, the Ulster hero and his king, Conor Mac Nessa in their wars against the king and queen of Connaught, Ailill and Maeve. These figures play a prominent role in the what may be the greatest story of the Ulster Cycle, the Táin Bó Cúailnge, The Cattle Raid of Cooley.
Sometime after 300 AD, Ulster became steadily less important in status among the five farthings and the ruling family of Mide, the Uí Néill Sons of Niall started to take over large parts of Connaught and most of Ulster. A similar move was made in Muster by the ruling family of Munster, the Eoganachta family. Thus was Ireland divided almost entirely into two halves.
The people of Ulster were pushed to a small coastal strip bordering the Irish Sea. The kingdom changed it's name to Dál Riata. Yet eventually Dál Riata fell under the rule and influence of the Uí Néill. This family, not content with the boundry presented by the sea, launched colonies across the Irish Sea into then Pictish Britain. Thus was Scotland founded, for it was these Uí Néill that the Romans called Scotti, not the original Picts.
Indeed, it was this Irish Expansion which led to Christianity in Scotland in 563 AD. St. Columba, the patron saint of Scotland, was a member of a powerful family in Dál Riata and in order to keep his ties in Ireland he settled on an island that was close to both Scotland and Ireland, Iona. Of course, even more bizarre is the fact that St. Patrick, the man responsible for bringing Christianity to Ireland in the first place.................was from Wales!!!!!! bwahahaha
