CHICKENFOOT: A Weird Name But A great Band.....

Well I must say that I, a person who is into all things musical, got blindsided by this one. A good friend of mine, you know the kind of friend I am talking about, one of those you can count on the fingers of one hand; well he is the index finger for me. This friend of mine whose name is Frank said to me, "hey dude check out CHICKENFOOT", and I’m like who????? Anyway long story short I did and they blew me away. What a killer vibe this quartet has going on.

The line up for this band is extraordinary as well. Sammy (The Red Rocker) Hagar fronts this musical concoction of talents. Joe (Satch) Satriani is the guitar virtuoso extraordinaire. Michael Anthony of that fabled party band known as Van Halen grounds this band on bass. Last but not least Chad Smith drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers rounds out the rhythm section and is the pump behind the bands sound.

Since this band is a recent incarnation they only have one album to their credit at this point. Their self titled debut “CHICKENFOOT” is an awesome rockin mix of tracks. With tunes like “Oh Yeah” and “Avenida Revolution”, which really gives this bands sound an edgy gritty feel. The chick dedicated tunes like “Sexy Little Thing” “Soap On A Rope” and “my Kinda Girl”, which are obvious dedications to those rock and roll road toys that Sammy has always been fond of really gives this album a real rock and roll party feel. There is absolutely no way this album can fail and is a great foundation for them to build upon and create something even more extraordinary.

On a more personal note, I have already joined their fan club and become a premium member. I absolutely cannot wait 'til they get to my neck of the woods because I will definitely be there for that show. I will not say that they are better than Van Halen or Van Hagar just yet, but if they have the same longevity as Van Halen/Van Hagar I am sure I will be changing my opinion then.

I hope you all have an awesome weekend and I look forward to next weeks requested artist or band. I hope you all enjoy the video. See ya l8r g8r’s CIAO4NOW!!!!!
