scubadaz well cool, let us know when you Jem is fixed, i had a cols soldier joint on a guitar once and made the pickup seem dead

omg Guitarvibes that's a fantastic vid, thanks for the heads up!!

Holee f*ckaroni they look like they're having a freakin BLAST!!! CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT!!!

Very cool Chickenfoot video...it's probably my favorite of the bunch (the flock?). And I think the mahogany guitar is actually a JS 6, not a JS 3. Here's a picture from an older version of satriani.com:

Aaand, since the Chickenfoot tour begins today, I thought I'd share the Yngwie Elvis photo with everyone...but mainly mikesb and michelle.

No, I don't know where it originally came from. :-)

All hail Chickengut Elvis!

check this 15 year old out, sounds like joe!!!! puts joe down as his idol www.myspace.com/joshmarment

Learned over time, ya can't have too many moms! That includes the young, Alan McKenna!!!!!! Ya know, the nuclear family just didn't do it for me........I needed more (I hope I'm not alone in this conclusion).

Mikesb, Guitarvibes, Scubadaz, Skippygirl and burly--

Thanks for all your well wishes to Steve. We just found out yesterday that the surgery won't be May 18 after all......it is postponed until June 1! Oh, well........(not just a Fleetwood Mac song).

Do the Stu--Yeah, Steve and I are both going to the San Fran gig on Sunday. Thanks to my older sister, Deborah, we are going to park our car at her place and take public transport to the Fillmore. We have to pick up our tickets at Will Call window. I think I bought tickets in the wrong area--the printout says Gen admission dance floor! So I called the Fillmore and asked about accommodations for the disabled (Steve needs a seat even if I have to stand the whole time). Fortunately, the person I talked to said they can seat him and to make sure I tell the person at the window that he is on the disabled list.

We are going to be just 2 people in an ocean......still, it will be worth it to meet other fans and find out what all the togetherness is about.......or are we just strangers that should remain in self-imposed exile? ;-/

Cheese101--Tracie, I hope I see you and Chris at the Fillmore this Sunday.

This is a huge leap of faith here. Joe.......I hope you read this.

Woke up this morning to I Believe and Friends.

Work at library today, tomorrow and Saturday as usual.

And the goofiness goes on!!!

Too many cream puffs and not enough exercise!!!

Al McKenna--Ya must be the prince of shizzle!! Now start writing the Wylde Stallions comedy show series!!

And I am Paleolithic!!

hybes - A few days ago I was complaining about the vinyl version of the Chickenfoot album having a bonus track. But as it turns out, I think the Best Buy signing will be enough to get me to buy the album on vinyl as well as CD. Autographs will look better on a record sleeve than on a small CD booklet...I'll buy both, have them sign the vinyl, and then file it away.

The venue only sells GA tickets, so if you want to get a seat you'd normally have to get there early to be toward the front of the line. But if Steve is disabled they're legally obligated to give him a seat. I'd suggest being there at least an hour before doors open so you can talk to someone at the will call window...try to ask for two balcony seats if you can.

Here is a picture taken from a balcony box during a Black Crowes concert I went to there back in December. I was on the floor, 3 or 4 people back from center, but this photo should give you a good idea of what your seat could be.

Look for me when you get to the venue and say hello...I'll be the tall guy with dark hair and glasses. I should be toward the front of the line with Tracie, Chris, and some other T2Jers...don't be shy.

(EDIT - I corrected the spelling of Rhoads...before people jump all over me I'll say there was this girl in my high school geometry class named Brandi Rhodes. I made a lot of Ozzy/Randy jokes back then, so that's where the confusion comes from.)

Hi Joe

Will you be coming back to Scotland at all this year??? Checked out tour dates and none in Scotland.........we usually do a round trip of over 200 miles to come to Glasgow, and was disappointed Scotland wasn't on your list of locations.... Would be great if Chickenfoot would come here, look forward to seeing you again soon "I hope"
