TGIF My Fellow RedHeads:

I was running some errands at lunch today, and was hit with an epiphany when the Thin Lizzy classic "The Boys Are Back In Town" came on the radio.

Now stop for a minute and think about this. Thirty four years after its initial release, this song is still a mainstay of most rock station catalogs, and to this day, many have tried to emulate its sound, but none have come close. However, how incredible would it be to hear a Chickenfoot version of this song to open up the 2011 tour? Phil Lynott (May God Rest His Soul) had a very distinctive vocal sound, but so does Sammy, and please don't even try to convince me that Joe could not put his own spin on the work of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham while still paying homage to the original. Twin guitarists, already built into Chickenfoot (and might I say quite an upgrade as well). Remember the VH Live recording of "Won't Get Fooled Again"? In my opinion, Sammy sounded better than Roger Daltry, and I am a HUGE Daltry fan.

Just something for the band to consider for the next tour, but either way, I am stoked for any new snippets the guys are willing to release ahead of time. "HINT, HINT, MY DEAR FRIEND SAM".

I guess that is it for now, but have a great weekend, drink a shot or two of CABO, and try to find the beach.
