NO VAN HALEN, PEPPERS, SATCH, HAGAR FOR CHICKENFOOT

Fans should not expect any Van Halen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Satriani or Hager solo stuff on Chikenfoot’s latest setlist, and they tell why.

Chickenfoot, the all-star band comprised of former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, will be solely focused on their just released album. The album landed at Number 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and fans are certainly digging the new music.

However fans expecting to hear selections from their other catalogs of music with other bands will be severely disappointed.

[Michael Anthony] “Yeah, of course fans will always want to hear the old catalog or whatever, but this is Chickenfoot right now. The live show, we’re not doing any of the old Van Halen or Chili Peppers, or whatever you want. We want to establish ourselves as Chickenfoot. Maybe down the line, another album something like that, maybe we’ll do one here or there. But we wanted to establish that this is a band right here.”

With a successful album and brief club tour that is leaving fans wanting more, the band is looking towards returning this summer. They currently have dates booked in Europe starting June 20 and running through mid July. They kick off the North American tour August 2 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
