Cosmic: cool, I'll let you know if we are gonna make it, and we can catch up.

Austin: I think Joe has some, he sent me a mint shrinkwrapped one ages ago. Joe- you're sitting on a goldmine. I guess they'd lose a bit of value if you sold them all though, less rare then. I thought I read somewhere that he had 500 or something made. Do they'd still be pretty rare.

Moving up the coast (warmer and more relaxed lifestyle).

House market (and economy) actually pretty stable here. I think people fit scared and overestimated the global impact. There are strong economies around the globe that helped resist the slide. Plus our banking is heavily regulated.

Kids are 8 and 11, yes, were going to include universal.

I'll definitely have a chat if the trip works out.

Skippy: no wukkus!

Elpp: lol- definitely!

elpp - that is a lovely vid my friend, it could actually BE the vid for the song. Thanks for introducing me to a DT song I hadn't heard before too, it's really sweet.

Sounds like you've had a rough time, but I am sure you'll write more love songs again (hey as a start you could write a love song to the Gorgeous Rock Chick Guitar Shredder :>)).

roo - *SOBS LOUDLY* thanks mate (sniff!).

Do The Stu - I sent 2 but it's OK no need to respond to both. We could have adopted you, you know that don't you haha?

If anyone didn't buy Guitar Player last month, you can read the Chickenfoot article here (as a PDF or Flash file or something...?):

And I also noticed the big jump from Crystal Planet to Chickenfoot on Joe's list. I find that interesting because, AFAIK, all of the albums between those two were made the same way (Joe did demos at home, playing everything himself, and then the band came into the studio to redo the other parts; EOC fits this too, in its own way). I wonder why Joe would go back to that process again and again when none of those albums made his short list of favorites.

Personally, I'd love to see Joe do his next solo album the way he did JS95 or CP. With the way the Chickenfoot album turned out, maybe he'll do that...I'm hopeful like you are.

If you do make it out to the US, you'll have to go to In-N-Out with me and cosmic_ape before the Universal City show. We can promise you a great burger, but if you want to top it with Vegemite or beetroot or other crazy Australian things you'll have to bring your own. ;-)

And someone needs to send Joe the link to the full version of that group doing Toto's Africa, that cosmic_ape posted (I didn't forget credit this time!)... ;-)

Speaking of the Satch EP 1984 how lovely is this - Saying Goodbye

Good morning / evening

Austin- THX for the GP link...didn't buy that issue.

McDave hope the b-day went well and wishing you many more.

burly - good morning sir. How's the crop? Are you booked for a CF show yet?

Hi Skippy- Rice..haven't had to irrigate since July 4...but bad news for soybeans who can't stand wet feet. Too much rain.

I would really like to go to the Tahoe gig just to be able to join some of the others. I may try to go to the Atlanta show. It's really difficult to plan that far ahead right now. And with the Texas trip earlier, I really hate to spend more $ on travel.

Axe - now THAT's cool.

How's the banner coming along?

burly - maybe a road trip like our friend Mr Lewis? Lots of great music along the way? Hope you get to one, anyway.

There's a few beers in my fridge if anyone wants them... am on a Dr Pepper fix at the moment

Slanshroom - cool about the Mac!! Sphincter unclenched now then. Are you sorted on backup devices?

Scuba - that sounded like a nightmare (Jem adjustments). Is it back from the shop yet? Good luck with the interview

AxeshredderJC - cool banner, not enough white for four signatures though lol

Skippygirl - thanks for the heads up. You have mail : )

Elpp - really nice video!

Cosmic Ape - sorry man, had no idea you'd posted Rain Clap before. Someone emailed me the short clip I posted. Full version is seriously cool - thanks for finding in the first place

Do The Stu - "There's this fancy schmancy site called YouTube that you may have heard of...! ", he he, very good! Thanks for the full link BTW

Guitarvibes - great article, thanks for posting

Roo - congrats, and enjoy the trip if it comes off.

McDave - late Happy Birthday from me

Some more Chickenfoot vids:

Turnin Left (backstage)

Pip-Ill be attaching 4 Silver markers w/ Velcro =)..Im a sign professional..lol

Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones is in a new band with Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) and Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age)...the group is called Them Crooked Vultures. Their CD comes out October 23 (click here).

They are playing a gig in Chicago this Sunday. Tickets go on sale tomorrow and will go very quickly...if you live there you need to be there. Click here for more info on that. Also, for the UKers, I've heard from someone in the know that they will be playing the Reading Festival.

Hey this is my first post! Anyway Joe, I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been to me and that you have sparked my interest in guitar playing.

Next time you're in Philidelphia maybe we can hang out and talk about aliens or something lol.

Peace

P.S. : The T2J iPod Touch / iPhone application works great, I'm using it now!
...Austin...

Congrats Scubadaz!! Very Cool!

It's nice to see another Chickenfoot podcast...it's been a while. And it's cool that there's a T2Jer on it, as well (toward the front of the line, of course)!

I downloaded it through iTunes and I have to say, I never thought I'd see the day where something Joe-related has an "explicit" tag next to it...haha.

Joseph--Those guitars that follow you around the world are looking beautiful and sounding so sweet and it's all because you have the best guitar tech in the world!! You're having way too much fun with those pedals......magic that they are! I don't care how long it takes to meet ya! I'm taking a number as huge as it is and standing in line for a bizzillion years!! Meanwhile, I'm playing my Fender acoustic and taking lessons from Ry Kihn and listening to everyone's nightmare.......Nights with Alice Cooper online at Q107, Calgary, Alberta.

OMG--Blue_Moon--How is it you've found out my weakness for Facebook?!!! A mad addiction.....I tells ya! ;-)

The youngins are restless these days! And some of us middle-aged ppls as well.

Ibanezplyr--I went to Dublin, Cali on Sunday and noticed the people hangin' around the local Peet's Coffee place. Then I looked out the window and noticed a whole bunch of new condos, row houses, townhomes have been built up over the last 6 to 7 years! It looks like they are tryin' to copy Dublin, Ireland architecture-wise. Only they can't because Dublin, Eire can't be copied because it's the old country (with a lot of restless youngins similar to here) and unique in its way.

Los Gatos has a lot of youngins hanging around at the Borders book store and Coffee Roasting Company. I love the coffee houses of California......great bevies! OMG!....the teen girls at Borders were sayin some of the same things I remember my friends and me sayin' when we were their age! "I'm bored!" "There's nothin' to do around here!" My friends and I used to say that when we were just lazin' around and scribbling on pieces of paper! Ahh.....YOUTH! The world is your oyster.......and you may never pass this way again! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! ;-)
