Hagar, Anthony, Smith and Satriani unveil Chickenfoot
Former Van Halen bandmates Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani are poised to release the debut album from their new group, Chickenfoot, and are rehearsing for a tour in support of the set.
The quartet has completed work on the as-yet-untitled release, which is expected to surface next month. The set features the cuts “Soap on a Rope” and “Down the Drain,” both of which are streaming at Chickenfoot’s website.
Photos at the group’s Facebook page show the band rehearsing and performing a private show in Southern California last week.
“When people hear the music, it’s Led Zeppelin,” Hagar told MusicRadar.com last year. “I know that’s a bold statement, but it’s as good as that.
“It’s 10 times Van Halen because it’s functional,” he added. “We all like each other.”
Neither a specific release date for the album nor details for the impending tour have been revealed.
