Love, Peace and a Big Chickenfoot!
Love, Peace and a Big Chickenfoot!

Hey Redheads-
Less than a week left until Chickenfoot III is released! I'm so excited to share this album with you in its entirety. Is it just me or is this taking forever! I've been getting lots of great feedback about the song-by-song podcasts and "The Making of Chickenfoot III" series we've been sending out and already have had people come up to me on the street and tell me how much they are enjoying them. Even my pal from the Dead, Mickey Hart, has a favorite song already! We have such a cool creative dynamic in the band and I'm glad that each song's story is able to be told.

Hey Redheads I've been seeing some posts from many of you about my set being cut short at one of my Detroit shows with Kid. I was super bummed, but with the recent events at other shows - we decided to be safe rather than sorry. I always put the safety of my fans first. When things cleared, I decided to allow Kid to run his whole show for the fans. People were going to be disappointed either way and it just felt like the right thing to do. On a positive note, did you see the fan video of me and Kid and our rocking version of American Band!?

Hey Sammy here,

It's been a litte while and I just wanted to check in with you all. As usual I've been going full speed. Lots going on with the Foot in preparation for our upcoming album drop and this past weekend we shot a music video for "Big Foot" - it's going to be awesome and I can't wait until you see it. I know you'll love it! Man Chickenfoot III is so slamming-- I wish we could release it today and already be out on the road playing it for you!

A True Music Lover - Carter (1946 - 2011)
A True Music Lover - Carter (1946 - 2011)

Redheads,

Last week I lost a manager, a friend, a cowriter, & a producer. But most of all Carter was a fan of fans – a true Redhead. He cowrote the song "Red" with me and was the kind of guy who would have been in that line sleeping on the sidewalk. He was a true music lover.

I miss him.

I thought my right hand was going to fall off. I signed that many books in the last two weeks. Literally thousands and thousands. Some of you were there in NYC, St Louis, LA... I love my Redheads. So great that so many of you came out to get the book signed. Not so great that so many eBay sellers were so rude and pushy and made it so hard for the real fans who were respecting each other and following the rules. Everywhere at all the bookstores there were awkward incidents that were so embarrassing to me. If you are someone who had a bad experience I am truly sorry.
