Loving the new single!!!! I like it more and more every time I listen to it :) The dive at about 1:54 is just about the coolest thing I have ever heard. Can't wait to see you rock that tune out in London :D

Austin- Thank you muchly!

Also.. More Meat from Chad Smith...

Interesting to see that the name of the band on the new CD is "Bombastic Meatbats featuring Chad Smith" as opposed to the first album, which was "Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats". Makes me wonder if Chad may have had less participation in the making of this album due to his busy schedule.

It will be out on October 19th... Kind of have to wonder if a Chickenfoot record could have fit into his schedule instead this fall!? Oh well, January is right around the corner.

Hiya Chad...he's getting better, thanks for asking...it was the damndest thing, very wierd and scary...he worked today and made it through the whole day, so that's good :) Whatchoo up to? Did you see some Canadian dates are now up on the tour page for early January? Better check em out, specially if you want to buy club Joes :) How's our lil Logan-berry doing?

Hi Joe, Hi people of T2J.....

Thanks to the kindness of musicians and fans/friends I have somewhere to run when life gets weird.......Steve and I were peacefully waiting in a doctor's waiting room this afternoon when a woman from right-field decided to give her opinion loudly about Presiden Obama and how she thought he was a communist and how this country has "gone to hell in a handbasket since 1945." This as well as a TV monitor broadcasting CNN News! She went on about how people from Chicago are corrupt and President Obama is no exception. I firmly and quietly said, "My husband's step-mom is from Chicago." I should have kept my mouth shut because this only added fuel to this woman's firey speech. "Oh, she said. Then she can tell you all about the corruption there!" Lord help me. Then Steve firmly stepped in and said, "I don't think it's appropriate for you or anyone to talk politics in a doctor's waiting room!" Touche! She shut up and sputtered and fumed. Then Steve and I were called in to see the doctor. Lordy! Not a second too soon as far as we were concerned. And btw, the doctor thanked Steve for politely telling the woman to shut up. (High 5s) Michelle, Al, Tracie, Austin, and all ppl of compassion, I thank God every day for you and this forum. I still believe in an unwritten social contract that my parents taught me while I was growing up....don't give your opinion unless it is asked for or unless it is an appropriate time and place. Politics and religion are best left at home........I recall someone saying something about a closet and in secret in regard to prayer.....

Oh lordy, I've said enough! 8-/

I do like what I hear from BCC so far. In fact, I didn't even know about it until a few days ago when a friend mentioned it. Guess I was living under a rock, but then I've been trying to finish my recording as well.

GG2, It just kills me, and I'm so glad you and Steve spoke up. The Bush's have had 20 years in office to F up the US, and the minute Obama (or any Dem) gets in it's all his fault. Are people really that ...ignorant? Really? They listen to idiot hate mongers like Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox news (a channel for high functioning retards IMO), and believe all the bs being created for the good ol' boys to keep their control of the US and keep everyone in FEAR of what will happen if they're not in control. We have a "truth meter" on our news program that goes over what the politicians are spewing in their commercials. The half truths and total fabricated crap they put on these commercials should be illegal - on all sides! Anyways, that's enough of that. No secret where I stand. I'm just so effin tired of the fear tactics they're using against Obama. So lame. I don't know how the spin doctors sleep at night. I hope they all piss in bed :-) lol!

Go Niners!!

:43 secs left - tie game

ahh well, Saints won. lol!

Best of six string for your tour Satch & thanks for following me on Twitter. I was blown away. As always you are the man!

turbo236 - Thanks for the note about the new Bombastic Meatbats album...I'll have to pick that one up when it's released.

I don't know any more than you do, but I doubt the slightly different name means anything. The Meatbats grew out of jamming as Glenn Hughes' backing band, so they go back a few years.

Here is my earlier post with instructions on how to hear Dream Song.

The "BC DVD" you're asking about is probably the bonus disc that comes with the new album from Black Country Communion. That album comes out tomorrow (Tuesday) in the US. It's not related to Satch in any way, but it sounds great so we're all psyched.

Meatbats More Meat pre-order. The album is US$9.98, and ships the day before release date, or you can pay $25.00 for an upgrade and have an autographed copy shipped on Sept. 28th and also receive a digital download of the entire album the same day. Even the track listing sounds funky!

Austin- I noticed on their Myspace page that they have a show Oct. 26th at the Baked Potato Jazz Club in Studio City. Not sure if this is the same Baked Potato you posted a pic of your dinner on FB the other night from or not, but I thought I'd throw that out there. There are a couple other shows in L.A., I believe.
