"Chickenfoot"

Here is a new band with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith (chili peppers). I think this will be very interesting to say the least.
Here's a interview with Mike Anthony about the project.

I'll buy it. I think it will be good, but it won't be better than Zeppelin.

Seriously though, I'm excited about this project. Should be good, but Sammy's out of his mind to compare it to Zeppelin and VH.

I just hope they can pull it off. Remember Planet US?

Remember HSAS?

I actually liked some tunes of that HSAS album, I didn't care for their version of "Whiter Shade of Pale" but the rest of the album while not groundbreaking was very good, Hagar and Neal Schon made a good combo.

You're so old.

At least they put an album out.

Just read an interview with Sammy where he said even if they did change the name, you'd have to explain to people "they used to be called Chickenfoot". So even though they know it's a silly name, they're keeping it.

Sound likes a Buckethead album though.

I read it's just a code name for the project.

I still have this album, on vinyl. I thought it was ok.

How do you figure that?

This might turn out to be what I was hoping for when Sammy joined Van Halen!

Here's the album cover:

Is that the real cover??

Chicken Sh*t Bingo? I guess they're not going for that "Walmart-exclusive" deal like AC/DC.

Have they released anything yet? I'm kinda curious to hear Joe Satriani play with a band and not just solo over everything.

Hmmmm, not much to go by with that clip. A repeated riff with Sammy rambling over it ain't exactly making my nips stand at attention. Ah well. We'll wait and see I guess.

Thanks Manny.

I'm curious to hear what Satriani comes up with. Sammy sounds pretty good in the clip.

I don't really like Sammy Hagar, but I do love Satriani and Chad Smith in the Peppers. I don't know what to think of this. I'll probably listen to it a couple times, and if I like it, pick it up in the discount bin. We all know that's where it's heading.

Here's an interview with Hagar:

Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith team up for supergroup and give Classic Rock the exclusive lowdown.
The name Chickenfoot doesn’t exactly conjure up visions of a union between some of rocks mightiest musical behemoths; in fact it sounds more like a nasty side effect of bird flu.
“It was just supposed to be a ox manur name that we’d used for a while,” former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony told Classic Rock. “And then the rumours spread about the band, everybody used that name so we thought, ‘fuck it, let’s call it Chickenfoot - it all comes down to the music anyway.”
Featuring Sammy Hagar (vocals), Joe Satriani (guitar), Chad Smith (drums) and Anthony; this million-dollar quartet are reluctant to call themselves a supergroup as a modest Smith explained: “We’re not a supergroup, we like hanging out together and the music is a bonus. We just happen to be in other groups.”
Classic Rock caught up with the band at Hagar’s recording studio in San Francisco where the ever ebullient Red Rocker explained the origins of the band.
“It started off with me, Michael and Chad jamming at my club-Cabo Wabo-in Mexico. Then people started asking us when we were going to tour, make a record etc. So I said if we’re going to do this properly then we’re going have to get a guitarist, let’s talk to Joe Satriani. As far as I’m concerned he’s the best guitarist in the world.”
The band made their official debut a year ago in Las Vegas at a Hagar concert where they played a three song covers set (including Zep’s Rock’n’Roll and Traffic’s Dear Mr Fantasy). Since then they have managed to record an album’s worth of material with Andy Johns and Mike Fraser at the helm. They are currently putting together a tour of Europe’s festivals this summer, which will include some shows in the UK.
“Europe is where I want this band to start, I feel so guilty that I haven’t played Europe in years,” Hagar revealed.
Classic Rock was given an exclusive preview of three tracks from the band’s eponymously titled debut. Soap On A Rope and Sexy Little Thing have the humour and loose feel of prime Halen, with the unbridled energy of Montrose. Avenida Revolution is an epic political anthem about the troubles on the Mexican/American border and has all the making of a classic.
“I’m not looking for fortune and fame out of this. I’ve had enough of that to last five times,” explained Hagar, maybe referring to selling an 80 percent interest in his Cabo Wabo tequila company for $80 million. “So pull that out of the equation, what am I doing it for? The music and enjoyment.”

Still looking forward to this.
