Ally, only if you hold my hand. lol!

I do believe this is the last day that Joe will be "our Joe". He's about to blow up! Them bitches ain't gonna know what hit 'em when they feel the power of the FOOT!

I think that calls for a little celebration!

CRANK IT!!

I'm so excited for FOOTDAY!!

Jayzus! That's some killer widdly widdly woo wooo in that song!

This might sound silly, but I'm so proud of Joe!

He could be the Transformer that helps to make the world more positive. We shall call him...OPTIMIST PRIME!

lol!

If any of you have Itunes....the chickenfoot is available for purchase right now!! It's a day early!

I am not sure if I am going to download it. I am looking at it. I am for sure going to buy the cd, so I don't know if I can justify buying both.

Came home from work to find my Chickenfoot vinyl waiting for me. A little unexpected, as Best Buy shipped it via USPS on Tuesday from Kentucky (to California). Figured I wouldn't see it until Monday or so. So at least that was one good thing that happened today. ;)

Since I don't even own a turntable, I just used the included code to download the full album, including Bitten By The Wolf. Nice to finally hear the studio version of that one. The whole thing sounds fantastic. I'd probably be enjoying it even more if I weren't still recovering from a nasty little bout of food poisoning the other day (or at least I think/hope that's all it was!).

Sides B and D on the records say "Ask Me Later" and "Definitely Maybe". Both are possible responses from the Chickenfoot Magic 8-Ball that VIP ticket holders got at the shows.

The only disappointment is that the outside cover obviously took a beating in Best Buy's warehouse. Definitely not in pristine condition. I guess I might have done better by waiting to hand-pick a copy in a store. But then again, I didn't realize Best Buy was even selling vinyl until just the other day. Oh well!

Happy Footday, everyone! :-)

There's a section of Best Buy's website that lists playlists from all the guys in Chickenfoot. I don't think it's been posted here yet, so:

Joe
Sammy
Mike
Chad

And here's an interview with Mike from Music Radar. I don't want to talk too much about this because it's Footday and it should be a happy day, but...has Rolling Stone said anything positive at all about Chickenfoot? It seems their article (there's a link to it on the Music Radar page) is doing nothing more than giving EVH a chance to slam his former bandmates ahead of their CD release.

Anyway, to end on a positive note...the Tonight Show! Today! :-) Joe hasn't been on there since The Extremist era, right?

Guitarvibes- Yeah I love Ed but get pissed at him quite a bit. I often wonder why some groups have such a good thing going and just can't keep it together. Kinda like any relationship I reckon. In a way I understand how difficult it is to keep a band together you would expect something as huge as Van Halen to endure. I guess much the same with a lot of big groups, Beatles, Doobie Bros. Police just to name a few.

For now Chickenfoot is my salvation for Sammy and Mike.

I would buy a guitar album from EVH...yes that would be nice.

Yeah...that's one of the things that bugs me most about Eddie. If he wants to play with his son, fine. Record an instrumental album and do a G3 tour with Wolfgang and Alex backing you for fun. Don't kick your bass player of 30 years out of your main band and then say he "left", just like you kicked out the lead singer who "left" almost 15 years ago.

I love Van Halen, and Eddie is one of my favorite guitarists...but, man. The guy has supposedly been writing songs nonstop for the past decade, but we haven't heard anything. And he keeps pushing back the date when he'll supposedly start working on his next album.

While I was waiting in line at the Fillmore for the Chickenfoot gig, I asked Tracie and our group whether we thought we'd get the second Chickenfoot album before the next Van Halen album. Most of 'em seemed to think we'd get a third Chickenfoot album before anything from VH. That's probably right...and you know what? I think I'll be happier with that, anyway...

Good morning to Footday everyone in the US!! We have to wait till next Fri 12th for JB HiFi to get their act together.

Do The Stu - check your dm in Twitland, hope you get your CD signed by the guys. Bugger we can't get the Tonight Show here but hopefully someone will post it on youtoob, or better still if some T2Jers could post a report it will still be Sat afternoon here. Austin can you tweet from the instore pretty pleez, pics would be great?

burly - morning mate, sounds like the crops are coming along just fine, if you get the chance to whisk Mrs burly off to a CF weekend (hey she can always shop!) wouldn't that be wonderful?? You'll get 2 tours before we even get one.

Well at least we have a long weekend here so 3 days off woo hoo. Huge family BBQ tomorrow so I'll see my bro and play guitar with him, I hope I can play Father and Son and he actually recognises it ;0).

There is a recent interview in Rolling Stone with Eddie Van Halen. Reading Do the Stu's post made me laugh. Because he was talking about how much music he has been writing. I think if he had that much going on in the studio, he would have produced something by now. The interviewer asked him if he had heard of chickenfoot and he said no...i don't listen to music.

Do the Stu - DMB is on the Today Show and Chickenfoot is on the Tonight Show. Good Footday.

Someone emailed me this and it's already uploaded elsewhere so here's the link to a joke.....

ha ha Dustin Hoffman

Back to check posts later... have a great day everyone

EVH may not be a 100 watt bulb BUT he did have a masterful plan... "Hmmmmm, if I give the kid a job, no more child support payments PLUS, maybe the kid's presence back stage will help keep me on the straight and narrow!"

YAY...Can pick up me Chickenfoot album tomorrow!

Jeepers sometimes things just make ya mad....got yet another solicitors bill yesterday taking the total to £1,300 for this divorce and we haven't even got to court yet...and its taken over a year so far....and there is the headline...Jordans divorce final in six days! grrrrr

HI JOE - hey .... I was watching the enw Iron Maiden Documentary yesterday....there was this guy on their...some sort of priest who basically uses Iron Maiden lyrics as parts of his sermon, but anyway hehas 166 Maiden Tattoos!

For those who haven't yet gotten the CD or vinyl:
