Chickenfoot on That Metal Show
Wednesday, 18 November 2009
VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show caught up with Chickenfoot before their concert at New York’s Irving Plaza in May. The first half of the video clip below contains the entire 5-minute Chickenfoot segment, which originally aired on Nov. 7th.
RARE “Cradle Will Rock” TV lip-sync performance
Monday, 16 November 2009
Here is a rare treat. A little-known clip of Van Halen lip-syncing for TV in Europe in 1980.
Keep in mind that seeing Van Halen on TV was something that almost never happened back in 1980. And when you did actually get to see a great rock band on TV, it was often a lip-sync performance, which was standard practice, since the TV studios usually didn’t have the facilities to have a band perform live. Getting to see a wild and cutting edge rock band like this on your 13″ color TV was really something!
Music Review: Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot (Deluxe Limited-Edition)
Monday, 16 November 2009
BlogCritics.org posted a second review of the Deluxe Chickenfoot CD/DVD.
Author: Greg Barbrick — Published: Nov 15, 2009
The sound of “classic rock” is alive and well on Chickenfoot. Actually, the term classic rock is a little ridiculous, as it is used to describe anything from about four decades of music. Let’s just say that with Chickenfoot the mid-80’s spirit of Van Halen proudly parties on.
This would be Van Halen Mark II, with Sammy Hagar on vocals. One of the most unheralded, yet distinctive voices in rock belongs to former VH bass player Michael Anthony. His harmonizing with Hagar back in the Van Halen days were a big part of the band’s successful singles run during their period together. On the self-titled Chickenfoot debut, they repeat this formula to winning effect with “ Get It Up,” “My Kinda Girl,” and the power-ballad “Learning To Fall.”
Guitar hero Joe Satriani takes on the Eddie role, one he is well suited to. Satriani has played with numerous bands over the years, including Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, and even the almighty Spinal Tap. In the drum chair is another virtuoso musician, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As Smith has demonstrated with his Bombastic Meatbats on their recent Meet The Meatbats, he is an amazing player.
Although the musicians in the band certainly have the capability to show-off, that was never the intention of Chickenfoot. This is a proudly commercial album, and sounds all the better for it. I have to say, I miss good old radio-rock like this.
Chickenfoot has done pretty well so far, having already been certified Gold by the RIAA. But for whatever reason, the band has released a deluxe limited-edition. This version includes the original 11 songs, plus a previously unreleased track titled “Bitten By The Wolf.”
There is also a one-hour long DVD included in the package, featuring a mix of live and studio versions of the Chickenfoot tunes. The highlight of the DVD for me is them doing “Bitten By The Wolf.” Although it is not the full-length song, it shows Satriani really shredding, which is always fun to see.
I recommend this edition of Chickenfoot pretty strongly to anyone who does not yet own the original version. If you do already have it, then it becomes a matter of how much one new song as well as an hour’s worth of video footage means to you. In the US, this version is only available at Best Buy, and is available in the UK and the rest of Europe from earMusic.

Sammy Hagar rocks Cabo Wabo Cantina with surprise performance during Vegas visit
Monday, 16 November 2009
From Examiner.com:
Sammy Hagar poses with the sexy staff of Las Vegas’ Cabo Wabo Cantina.
The Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar, paid a visit to his newly-opened Las Vegas restaurant and nightlife experience Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Sat., Nov. 14. Hagar delivered his official seal of approval before getting up on top of the bar to toast the energetic crowd with his signature Waborita margarita. Hagar and his wife stayed to dine at the Cantina where they sampled a variety of sizzling items including Cabo Wabo’s signature fajitas, nachos and guacamole.
Later that night, Hagar surprised excited fans with a rocking performance (pictured left; photo by Carlos Larios). The entire performance was shown live on the oversized LED video screen above Cabo Wabo Cantina facing Las Vegas Boulevard outside of the Miracle Mile Shops.
Just three days into its opening, Cabo Wabo Cantina has already hosted thousands of guests. Serving up a flavorful blend of Tex-Mex and coastal Mexican cuisine with contemporary flare, Hagar’s Vegas Cantina is his second location, off the success of his flagship Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The hard-rockin’ dining and nightlife experience combines a high energy atmosphere with live music, great food and a vivacious outdoor patio, where it is never uncommon to rub elbows with the rock ‘n’ roll great himself or catch him in a live jam-out session on stage.
Cabo Wabo Cantina will celebrate its official grand opening on Fri., Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. with a free concert to the public by Hagar’s band, the Waboritas. For Cabo Wabo merchandise & collectibles, click here.
