GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Chickenfoot's Album Is Out! Yeah!
Posted by: sidewas lightning Jun 26 2009, 02:13 PM
Actually, it came out a few days ago, but for some reason there's no topic about it yet. I know that a few of you are going to go see chickenfoot live.
Even though Satch's guitar work is restrained a little bit, for he no longer has a reason to show off, it's still pretty amazing.
Check out this song:

I think its one of my favorites, first song on the album, best guitar part, and the only song that really sounds foreboding at all.

Overall it's a nice album, but personally I think that type of lyrics is a big drawback

I don´t think this is the best album ever, not exactly my type of music ,too.
But: seeing those guys perform live is absolutely amazing! The sound and performence is incredible and the best part is, you can actually see that they are having a great time on stage (Sammy Hagar is awesome 
) and so does the audience which makes them a perfect live-band!

Unfortunately for me, I can't quite get into them. Although I worship Satch and the ground he has and has yet to walk on. It didn't quite click with me.
Nonetheless, whenever Satch solos, Its a good thing

I will definitely get it soon and listen to it. Should be interesting to check out all the arrangements.

I'm looking forward to getting the album and listening to it!

Not really what I usually listen to, but it sounds interesting

Anybody knows if there will be a tour of Chickenfoot?. It will be really interesting to see them live!

It'd be good if it wasn't for Hagar. I'm not a fan of him, but the rest of the band is groovy.

Looking forward to hearing the album!
Why? I think he's a great singer!

Bought the album the day it came out and I must say I like it a lot more then I thought I would. I'm not a huge Hagar fan and didn't really know what to expect from this "supergroup".
However I listened to it a lot this past week while on vacation, it's pretty good cruising music actually, and it was really enjoyable. Like someone else said it's not the greatest album ever but it is certainly worth a listen imho.

Maybe it's because I always preferred Roth to Hagar in Van Halen, and so have been opposed to him from the start. But I think he sounds very generic and his singing sounds 'forced' somehow, like he's trying too hard to sound perfect. I dunno, just my 2 cents
Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Jun 29 2009, 04:36 AM
Well, Hagar was always like you say. In Van Halen, it seems that sometimes he sings what he actually can't. And you can see it live. But anyway, he's a nice singer. Not as Roth, but he's good
Posted by: Ivan Mihaljevic Jun 29 2009, 08:06 AM
Actually, I'd say Hagar is way better at singing than David Lee Roth, but David is a much better entertainer for sure!

I agree. Or "agreed", rather. I really dislike everything he's put out except Balance. Balance is amazing. One of my all time favorite albums. I think it's because everyone in the band hated each other so much that it created a tension that came though on the record. In my opinion that album is better than every other VH release (Fair Warning is a close second - another album that was recorded when the band wasn't getting along).

When it comes to Hagar I prefer 3 Lock Box and Standing Hampton. Also liked him with Montrose. Bad Motor Scooter was a cool song. (Get on your bad Motor Scooter and Ride!)
Also kinda corny is (Suckers Walk, Money Talks, But it cant touch my 3 Lock Box! Then the guitar part!!!) Sorry But I am reliving my teenage years. 
To me Hagar is good Party Music. Makes me want to Chug a beer and start playing air guitar. Its just good party music! I have listened to Chickenfoot a couple of times now and there are some good songs and some bad songs. To me its not going to be a Platinum album or anything maybe just a vehicle to promote live shows. I think thats where they will have their biggest success is if they put on a descent tour.
Had to make a quick Edit because I Remembered Sammy doing the Song Heavy Metal for the Movie Heavy Metal. Seen that when it came out at the Drive Inn Theater. That was a Great Movie.

there's a blast from the past!! I may have to go and listen to that again!!!
Posted by: blindwillie Jul 1 2009, 07:06 AM
I loved Hagar in Montrose, but since that pretty much the only song I liked have been "Can't Drive 55".
In Chickenfoot though it works.
In songs like "Soap On A Rope" it reminds of Montrose even.
