...it's not everyday that I get to post something with a title like that.

Bumblefoot did his first show with them last night as the new guitarist. I cried actual tears of joy for him when he told me he signed the contracts late the other night. Our upcoming European tour had to be postponed, but I get the feeling this is going to have some impact on the next tour we do. I'll wait. :)

I've known for weeks, but had to keep my mouth shut. Feels good to finally let people who know the tour has been cancelled, why it's been cancelled. Just felt I had to share this news and let the family know. :)

Of course!

Actually he uses Ernie Ball strings, and plays Vigier guitars. If he didn't play Vigier I'm sure he'd play Ernie Ball, but Patrice from Vigier has done some incredible things for this guy.

Hey Joe that is great! They auditioned everyone. Trevor Lukather auditioned and grabbed on eof his dads old t shirts not thinking much of it and it was a Black death Vodka shirt (slashes old vodka co) That may not have helped his chances.

I love Patrive and all at Vigier

We're totally still doing the Bumbelfoot thing. I'd have a noose around my neck if we weren't. This is great news for him, and the rest of us too. Our tour has only been postponed.

Thanks all fer the good words. Tonight is his second show. I'm going to hang with them tomorrow. :)
