Chickenfoot (band)
Encyclopedia
Chickenfoot is an American rock
supergroup
, consisting of former Van Halen
members Sammy Hagar
(vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), solo artist Joe Satriani
(guitar) and Red Hot Chili Peppers
drummer Chad Smith
. The band released their self-titled debut album, Chickenfoot
, on June 5, 2009. Regarding the band's status as a "supergroup", vocalist Sammy Hagar states: "We’re not a supergroup, we like hanging out together and the music is a bonus. We just happen to be in other groups."
While the band's name and logo reference a disparaging term used to describe the peace symbol, the "footprint of the chicken", bassist Michael Anthony asserts that the name originated from initial jam sessions between Hagar, Smith and himself: "there are three talons on a chicken’s foot and there [were] three of us." Later Anthony stated: "it was just supposed to be a bullshit name that we’d used for a while, and then [when] the rumors 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." Chickenfoot have recently finished their second album, Chickenfoot III, which was released on September 27, 2011.
The band's first performance together was in February 2008 at a Hagar concert in The Pearl Concert Theatre @ The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas
. The show included a three song set which included Led Zeppelin
's "Rock and Roll
", Traffic
's "Dear Mr. Fantasy
" and "Going Down", a song often performed by Hagar and Anthony in their other band, Los Tres Gusanos. Regarding the show, bassist Michael Anthony states: "At that point, we knew the chemistry was there. It was so much fun, and the instant gratification from the audience was great. We decided to take the next step and see what we could do. It was just too much fun to pass up."
During breaks in Satriani's touring schedule, the four-piece gathered in Hagar's home to record demos, and ultimately recorded a full-length album at Skywalker Sound
.
The band's eponymous debut album, Chickenfoot
, was released on June 4, 2009. On its release date, Chickenfoot performed the single "Oh Yeah!" on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
. Chickenfoot subsequently began touring in Europe and America.
In October 2009, Smith reconvened with the Red Hot Chili Peppers
to begin work on their tenth studio album, ultimately causing Chickenfoot to enter a temporary hiatus. Despite this, the band still appeared on television once more to perform "Sexy Little Thing" and "Oh Yeah" on the November 6, 2009 broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live (taped November 5). Smith stated:
This is also stated on the interview with Chad Smith on MusicRadar.com, posted on August 24, 2009:
on April 17, 2010 Joe Satriani confirmed that a second Chickenfoot album was in the works, that he and Sammy Hagar had gotten together for several writing sessions, and that with any luck it would be released in 2010. In the same month, Chickenfoot voiced themselves on an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force
.
On May 6, 2010, Chad Smith confirmed that Chickenfoot would be recording their second album in the fall of 2010 after he completes the recording of the next Red Hot Chili Peppers
album. Around the same time, Satriani confirmed that a number of songs had been written, including one called "Come Closer," which began simply as a piano and vocal number.
On September 3, 2010, Chickenfoot announced that they were gearing up to record their second album. Although Chad Smith participated in the recording, it is very likely that the band will have to consider a different drummer for touring purposes, as Smith along with the rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers are about to release their next album I'm with You
on August 30, 2011 and will follow it up with a subsequent tour
. The band said they are considering plans to audition different drummers and possibly find a drummer to fill in for Smith. Joe Satriani stated that he would love to have Tommy Lee
fill in for Chad. Some other names that have been in consideration are Abe Laboriel, Jr. from Paul McCartney
's band, Velvet Revolver
's Matt Sorum
, Pantera
and Hellyeah
's Vinnie Paul
and Jason Bonham
.
On October 15, 2010, Chad discussed his future with Chickenfoot and said that although he and the rest of the band planned to enter the studio in January 2011, he would be unable to tour in support of the next Chickenfoot album because of the Chili Peppers' new album and subsequent touring.
On January 21, 2011, Michael Anthony confirmed that the band would enter the studio on January 29, 2011, along with Chad Smith who will record the drums for the album, though as stated before, he will not be touring with the band due to his commitments with Red Hot Chili Peppers.
On March 11, 2011, Sammy Hagar confirmed that the band had been recording with Mike Fraser
, a Canadian producer, engineer, and mixer. He also confirmed that they had 12 songs worked up and that some of titles are, 'No Change,' 'Who's Next,' 'Astral Years,' and 'I Ain't Got You, I Got The Two By Blues.' The official title for the new album is Chickenfoot IV (four). Sammy Hagar says "It's the working title, but I guarantee it'll stick.", Chickenfoot IV is due to be released in fall 2011 with the album cover being in 3-D. Hagar also stated the band are also planning to do a third, fourth, and greatest hits albums sometime in the future. Joe Satriani recently confirmed that "Come Closer" and a song called "Setting Sun" are to also be on Chickenfoot IV Joe Satriani also sent an email on May 3, 2011 to all his fans saying that Chickenfoot IV was almost finished and the band were hoping to mix the album in June 2011. On May 22, Chad Smith tweeted that he had just finished cutting the last 2 songs for the album.
On June 19, 2011, in an interview with Joe Satriani, he revealed that the new album is due out in October. Satriani also confirmed that the band will do a select number of shows in the fall, and hopefully more in February 2012. The band must work around Sammy and Chad's other schedules.
The next day, on June 20, 2011, on his birthday, Michael Anthony confirmed that the mixing for the new album has been completed, with the first single from the new album expected to hit radio airways this summer, and the full enchilada to follow in October.
On June 30, 2011, Michael Anthony told the Van Halen News Desk directly, that the new album will be released on September 27, 2011. The first single from the album, to be released on August 2, 2011, is titled "Bigfoot". Mike also confirmed that, despite rumors caused by Hagar, the new album will not be called Chickenfoot IV.
On July 6, 2011, it was announced that the band signed a new distribution deal with eOne Music in North America. Also, the title for the new album was confirmed to be Chickenfoot III. On July 8, 2011, the band posted a teaser of one of their new songs online with this message: "Attention Foot Soldiers... Get Your Boots On".
Michael Anthony has confirmed that the band plan to tour in the fall of 2011, supporting the release of Chickenfoot III. He said the band are still not sure about a temporary replacement drummer for Chad Smith, though they may play some shows with Chad, and some shows with another drummer filling in for Chad while he is on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
According to Satriani, it is likely that Kenny Aronoff
will take over the drumming duties from Smith for the tour promoting the second album, due to the latter's commitments with Red Hot Chili Peppers. This was confirmed on 27 August.
The band has announced that "Big Foot", the first single off the second album, will make its online debut July 31, 2011, with the single being released to radio and iTunes on August 1, 2011.
On September 24, 2011, Sammy Hagar appeared on That Metal Show on VH1 Classic and admitted that Chickenfoot decided to name their second album "Chickenfoot III" to avoid the dreaded second album drop-off experienced by most bands. He said they just decided to "skip" the second album and make the third album.
On September 27, for the release of III, the band played a live concert via webcast from TRI Studios in California. A fan Q&A followed the performance. They also played a show at the Cabo Wabo Cantina in Mexico on October 9, 2011.
