2009 Chickenfoot Tour Dates, mp3s: Hagar, Satriani a “Supergroup”?

This might be the most annoying promo video ever made. It’s for a band called Chickenfoot.

Have you heard of Chickenfoot?

Chickenfoot is being billed as a new “supergroup” featuring ex-Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar, ex-VH bassist Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and guitarist-who-sued-Coldplay-for-plagiarism, Joe Satriani.

A guy who couldn’t upstage David Lee Roth and a guy so boring Coldplay might’ve swiped his song? Um, thanks…

As expected, Chickenfoot basically sounds like a middle-aged Van Halen cover band. The group’s self-titled debut album hits stores in June, if you’re curious, you can check out three free Chickenfoot mp3s.

We admit, when we first heard about this horribly-named band, we snickered to ourselves and sort of thought it was a joke.

Turns out, this band is some sort of a dream-come-true for fans of guitar magazines and rock radio. In fact, many of the band’s shows are already sold out. (But, the band should probably STOP calling fans Chickenheads.)

Stay up-do-date when new shows are added so you can score tickets before they sell out. Or not.
