Chickenfoot

Rarely has a band come freighted with such expectation and promise than the new outfit that calls itself Chickenfoot. The band is full of legendary rockers including guitar god, Joe Satriani, former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals) and Michael Anthony (guitar) and Red Hot Chili Pepper's drummer, Chad Smith.
It's a silly name for a band -- and album -- that kicks a donkey's ass six ways to Sunday and back again. Maybe that's because long before the four men who comprise Chickenfoot came together they already filled the pages of rock history with enough individual mind-blowing chapters to boggle the mind. The news that they've pooled their inordinate talents to one collective whole quickly spread across the Internet last year (and perhaps that crazy name helped just a little). But the fact that they've succeeded artistically beyond anyone's wildest dreams (except perhaps their own) is all the more reason to celebrate.
