Chickenfoot with Chad Smith

[Stormbringer74]

Sammy Hagar to hit studio with guitar hero Joe Satriani and ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony plus Red Hot Chilli Peppers drummer Chad Smith -

The group, code-named Chickenfoot, will enter the recording studio just before Labour Day.

"We've written eight, nine songs. We just got to go in the studio Sept. 1," Hagar said.
"When people hear the music, it's Led Zeppelin. It's as good as that. I know that's a mighty bold statement... We could rival Zep."

my god !! Chad is everywhere !!

[FCinnella]

Sounds like a group to hear and see. The name could use a little tweaking though Sammy Hagar sure is getting around in the upcoming months, and Satriani and Chad together can sound nothing less than AWESOME !!!!

[Arjen]

Great line-up! Looking foward to the songs already

For those unfamiliar with Chickenfoot up until now...

Chickenfoot (Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith) will have their self-titled debut CD released in either April or May 2009. Their debut tour will kick off in May, warming up in smaller venues (possibly clubs) in the USA followed by a few weeks in Europe during the Summer. Then the band will return to the USA for a larger headlining tour this fall. The band is planning on performing the entire CD, as well as songs from each of the band members careers. So, expect to hear some classics from Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and some blazin’ Joe Satriani instrumentals!

We're going and its on my birthday so a few drinks first will be the order of the day!!!!

[christmas fairy]

hope you have a fab time!!! I can't go as my manager is in egypt that week, and it would be a stretch to get there straight from work, and then home again, as i'm fated with trains! havent been to a gig in a little while, so it would have been great! i've ordered the album tho, so i'll just have to listen to that instead, and hope that there are more dates in the UK (hopefully London) in the future! xx

Not bad at all. Chad's playing is quite good, as usual. This won't be the record of the year but it definitely seems like a solid release.

[Chip]

I watched this last night as it aired. Chad always the comedian, had a red Conan wig on that was used in a bit earlier in the show and a t-shirt that said I Am Not Will Ferral. Classic Chad

[captmidnite1962]

I had to make a trip to the mall...perish the thought..and stopped in Best Buy while I was there. I didn't even think that the Chickenfoot CD was about to be released...and there it was!

Grabbed a copy and am listening to it now....am enjoying what I hear thus far!
