Chickenfoot Alert: Atlanta being filmed! That's right-- the gig on Sunday is being recorded and we want to let everyone who is coming out know that they may be featured in a future DVD release. So if you're there, let us know you're in the house!

elpp..im shocked you ask but glad you liked the photos..the camera i used i picked up refurbished for the widescreen...Kodak easy share z1085....i have many issues with it and own another camera thats so much better but these are the sacrifices i had to make to get widescreen photos and video...walking in with a camera like joes will have them throw me out just as fast... every show ive been to lately, after videoing 2 songs i get the tap on the shoulder, you know, thats enough filming....but the band sees what im doing...and the results are to their benefit....but you know...i do like to enjoy the show so unlike so many...i only film 2 or 3 songs...the three shows ive been to ive captured an awesome collection and so many havent even been posted...its just too much...about 200 pics per show....phones cant photograph this well...sorry for long post. but thanks for the reply and appreciating my effort!..=)...

chelle, it's the end of the day....I love you more now than I did this morning :) WOW!! That means yer horoscope is amazingly accurate!! Dats incredible!!

Austin, if u think that will help, I'll be more than happy to have "THE TALK" with you...we can be as scientific or graphic as u think we need to be :) Although....that might attract some really nasty peeps our way so hmmmmm.....I don't know about u, but Chris and I will be in line early so we can be as close to the front as possible...shorties here ya know!!!

Dude survived a plane crash, but life got him.

RIP DJ AM

Sad.

about 35 minutes of a recent Chickenfoot show

Mystical Robot :- As far as scales go,while I know my way around the fretboard fairly well,I've never been good with theory. I've always been more of a "feel" player and Ive usually discovered things purely by chance and then found out later what it is I discovered. Not that I don't understand theory,I've just never been able to consciously apply it. I've learned over time never to underestimate your own ability,because even though you may think your not that good,sometimes you gotta take note of what those around you say when they hear your playing.If they're telling you how good you are,run with it and keep improving.

Another tip I can offer is this: anytime you have the guitar in your hands and you feel like you're stuck in a rut,listen to music you don't normally listen to and improvise over the top of it.Doesn't matter what it is.Rap,R&B,Metal,Classical,country, even commercial pop.I've always found this opens you up to fresh ideas and sounds,as does jamming with other musicians.Cheers!

Austin-I actually went to Meyers Elementary School with Jaycee Lee Dugard.One of my best friends was at the bus stop and saw her get kidnapped.Surreal.

cheese101 - "Chris and I will be in line early"

And, for once, I can be right there with you from the start! I won't have any toll bridge traffic to get stuck in this time around...haha. I think I've been about 30 minutes to an hour later than you to the last two SF shows...argh.

Maybe I'll get to Lake Tahoe an hour earlier the day before to make up for it? ;-)

What a great album...buy it!

Austin, " I can't imagine how addictive some drugs must be... " Read some books like Scar Tissue & The Heroin Diaries. It's beyond anything you can imagine if you've never been there. Funny thing is, ppl who don't have a drug/alcohol problem say "Well why don't they just stop!" Sounds so easy, doesn't it. I'm still not sure which is worse - if you have the problem yerself, or you love someone with that problem. Either way is hell.

Anyways, let's dance.

elpp :- Hey buddy,hope you're still thirsty coz I gotta fridge full of Hahn SuperDry.Here...catch!!! Anyone else care to join me??? Cappy?? Scoobs?? Whatabout McKenna,Chonch And Cheese??? Help ya selves,people.Plenty to go 'round!!!

Back from Swiss. Most civilized and decent country in the world. Space. Had a great relaxed and healthy time with my friends there.
28 T2J pages behind, I will not even try to catch up.
As of sept. 20 unemployed, maybe I should pick up guitar teaching agian.

Tracie- I will be the big bald guy who needs a shower because he stood in line all day ..because he couldn't decide if he could go to Atlanta until all VIP tickets were gone. But anyway...I'll be thinking about you guys.

We are staying close to the venue so maybe I can keep an eye on the line and jump in if I need to.

Skippy- If I see a camera on me, I'll be sure to wave to the T2Jers.

If you are there, come by and say Hi to Burly and Mrs. Burly. I think I may wear a "Got Riffs" T shirt. and do some advertising for my man Dave.

GuitarVibes-I thought you had been quiet lately. Glad you enjoyed the trip.

Anyway our flight leaves this afternoon so I am going to pack.

Atlanta T2Jers- Where are the good places to eat in the downtown area? We are not packing attire to go to Ruth's Criss

Don and Peace Lily, glad you liked that long CF video....I found it on youtube and put the link here, but it's not my vid, I wasn't at that particular show. In fact I don't know which show it's from other than it has to be one before the Atlantic City gig as it was posted on youtube Aug 21, and our gig was Aug 22. Do you know where it was? Whoever did the vid did a fantastic job!!

I was at the Atlantic City show with my peeps there...too bad you didn't make that one too, lol!! Joe-HO'S that you are :))) It's a great label, wear it proudly, lol!!

chelle...what happened IS very sad and you're absolutely right. I've seen it time and time again, the grip that drugs have on people. I'm not sure what the "x" factor is that some people have that helps them kick their addictions, but so many just can't. It's very complicated because so much can play into how they got into drugs in the first place...family environment, their mental/emotional health, socio-economic status, the friends they chose...the list goes on and on. I know that ultimately it is the person's free will and choice that first leads them down this path, but some people are just so damaged to begin with that they are easy targets for addictions to take root. I see it all the time in my job. By the time they get to us....they barely have enough brain cells left to even tell me their name. It's incredibly frustrating, and sad. I wish it was as easy as grabbing them, shaking sense into them, and making them just STOP. Instead...we deal with the shell that's left behind.

Anyways.....

Found this write-up from Aug 27th's show... here. The author LOVES Davey Knowles (who doesn't!) and says good things about Chickenfoot.

burly, you and wifey have a fantastic time at the show...I know alllllll about the long wait in line, my son and I do it all the time but it's SO worth it!! As skippy said, WAVE..and wave BIG so we can see ya on the dvd, LOL!!

So apparently Aerosmith's Brad Whitford jammed with Chickenfoot during the encore of the Charlotte show on 8/27. Was anyone there? I looked on YouTube but didn't see anything.

I've also read bits and pieces of The Dirt, Motley Crue's bio.

You haven't started reading the Slash bio yet, have you? I got it recently but haven't started yet...let me know when you do and I'll try to read it at the same time.

Sorry to hear about your job, but at least you know ahead of time...right?

I do have one piece of Atlanta dining knowledge, but I don't know how helpful it'll be: breakfast at the Burger King at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta is pretty good. ;-)

I had a layover there for a few hours while flying to NY for Dream Theater's Score CD/DVD recording in 2006.

And Skippygirl, since I know you'll ask ;-), I'm not staying at my apartment tonight so I won't be able to post a review until sometime tomorrow. But I will post one.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

cheese; that was definately the CT show at the Mohegan Sun Casino. like I said we were about 5 or 6 rows to the right of the person who took those vids. believe me if we had any money left we would have been in NJ, NY, SC and any other east coast show they did.
