Comments on: Chickenfoot’s new single / US “Road Test” shows http://www.vhnd.com/2009/04/13/chickenfoots-new-single/ The Latest News & Info about The Mighty Van Halen Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mole http://www.vhnd.com/2009/04/13/chickenfoots-new-single/comment-page-3/#comment-19085 Mole Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:44:12 +0000 http://www.vhnd.com/?p=1146#comment-19085 Okay, I went through and listened to the three songs of Chickenhead via the VHND, and here are some thoughts (my opinions) 1. Sounds like solo Hagar albums always do 2. Does Mike actually play bass on the songs, or should we assume he does? 3. Lyrical writing is not the strong suit of either Dave or Sammy. Party guys write about what they know (lol....I think Sam and Dave have that covered) 4. I have seen Joe live, Sammy live, Van Halen live, Van Hagar live, etc., but I do not think this one will be worth aything more than say $50.00. Too tame I am glad Sammy is still writing music, and I also glad that era of Van Halen is over. Hell, it could be over for good, but ah, the memrioes will be around forever Peace!

It wasn't my mom...she passed away in a car crash years ago. I appreciate the attempt at humor though. VH III wasn't a bad album at all...Eddie was very creative on that album and Gary sang his ass off too! The people weren't ready at all for a third new singer. walteR,

You're right, VH III wasn't a bad album, people just weren't open to the idea of Gary Cherone singing... The CF project will be great.. Maybe Sammy n Mike will even invite VH to a show.... Line6Guy,

Joes playing is held back here, but I think that is by choice, normally there would be no room for lyrics with Satch shredding all over the place. Joe better technical player, Eddie better rock player. Did anyone really expect the lyrics to be like U2, its Sammy Hagar for christ sakes, he partys and sings, thats why we love him, we all want his life. Same with Dave why would they change after all these years. Van Halen/ DLR/ Hagar always a party band period. If you want serious songs check out VH III. Thats what I thought, we all know it was technically a pretty good album, but it sucked as a Van Halen album. And remember if you disagree with me that means you are wrong.
