CHICKENFOOT AT HARVEYS LAKE TAHOE - September, 2009
Chickenfoot consists 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 American 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 bullsh*t name that we’d used for a while, and then when the rumours spread about the band, everybody used that name so we thought, "f**k it, let’s call it Chickenfoot" - it all comes down to the music anyway.
