Never heard of the band Chickenfoot? Then how about the musicians that are in it? Surely you've heard of the rock-legend-names Hagar, Satriani, Anthony, and Smith! I remember during the years of the Viet Nam war the Peace Symbol became a prominent image (those of us in the service at the time called it "The Footprint of the American Chicken")...the band's logo is a slightly modified version of it with the chickenfoot being inside of a square rather than a circle as it had originally been used...slick...their sound is even slicker...Check 'em out:
"Chickenfoot is an American hard rock supergroup, comprising ex-Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), solo musician 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 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 bullshit name that we’d used for a while, and then [when] the rumors spread about the band, everybody used that name so we thought, 'fuck it, let’s call it Chickenfoot' - it all comes down to the music anyway." Currently Chickenfoot is writing for their second album." 'Nuff Sed.
