GRANDMA ALWAYS TOLD ME TO EAT LOTS OF CHICKENFOOT

 Monday, June 15th, 2009 at 1:56pm by

So, Chickenfoot released a new video last week. Chickenfoot of Hagar, Anthony, Satriani and Smith fame. Chickenfoot of selling over 49,000 albums (!!) during their album’s first week on the charts fame. Chickenfoot, recipients of a collective MetalSucks Haterade Mafia shrug. The video is basically just a collection of candid, studio, live performance and “goofing around” shots, which given the band’s makeup and selling points makes a whole lot of sense. And the fact that it’s so low budget is kind of refreshing, playing down the celebrity status of the band’s members. The perfect video for a ho-hum but serviceable rock song.

In other news, Eddie Van Halen is probably still saying Michael Anthony quit Van Halen and Michael Anthony is probably still saying he was kicked out. Same shit different day.

    AmazonMP3 was selling the album for like $3.99 last week, which methinks helps explain that first week sales figure…

    You referenced some “selling points” for the band…Chickenfoot actually has selling points? It must have taken one HELL of a marketing team to come up with those.

    Take Van Hagar, and replace Van Halen with Satriani…

    Hey, I’m sure Joe has some really expensive legal bills these days. Per Diem baby!

      Unfortunately that is like most satriani for me… he’s got some chops, but it just doesn’t do it for me.

      Except that one Coldplay song he wrote… pffft…

    I find it funny that Eddie only opens his mouth when someone is doing better then him.

    Its called “new music” Eddie, you should try it sometime.

      Wait, Chickenfoot is ‘new music’? They have easily over a century of combined playing. That’s not new.
