You can tell the CF guys are havin´a lot of fun. Sammy is laughin´and hollerin`his ass of on every track! Reminds me of Van Halen II. Same kinda vibe. only the songs are so much better this time.
Luther

Bring Mike back to what was Van Halen and put out some new music. Wolfgang should start his own band and do his own thing.

doyou want vh or chicken foot music out of this band the cd rocks get it up is rockin and so is turning left so take that all you haters
TIM5150

seriously , these guys are F*cking hilarious !1 obviously they are having a LOT of fun , just clowning around.
remember when van halen would just clown around when they were on tv/film.
back in the day van halen was notorious for spontaneous hilarity and deliberate juvenile antics.

the FOOT looks like they are honestly interested in having a great time . vanhalen used to do that.

hahahah jl5150 are you serious?!?! yes vh clowned around in there earlier careers, however i dont know how old you are but i too loved it when they were like that and i bought into it. as if it wasnt a act. of course it was a act then and this is a act now(chickenfoot) the difference SHOULD be that you are now older and SHOULD be able to pick up on this. as well as SHOULD be annoyed that they are trying to portray this wild crazy “im in a band cause im this was not im this way cause im in band” B.S that pretty much is questioning are intelligence. sorry i aint buyin M.A who’s favorite place in the world is disney land and likes to where gumby shirts, is a wild jack daniels chuggin mofo, or that sammy i like thousand dollar wines, is some beach bum that lays around all day and sips cabo and jams at night. what a bunch of queers!

Ok so most of us like Chickenfoot and really love Van Halen. For some folks it may be vice versa. But we must ALL agree that the Canadian Trio cannot and will not go away. For who among us can not admit to the quality of the almighty RUSH!!!!!! That trio has rocked the planet from end to end for 30+ years and they still keep going. Lets give credit where credit is due!

very very cool
i remember when they went into the studio with sam and ed and mike and al for the live tour that was a good time and i really thought a great tour

now that i think of it only one tour ed stunk it up

imagine a video from van halen with dave
i mean dave is a genius with so much going on in his mad mind
he wrote a book for god sakes
i guess ed has him muzzled and he only shows up to sing and they dont hang together
its about money people.
sam is about fun
that is the difference!
i still give dave credit for makin it happen
i always enjoy listening to old roth radio mp3s

I don’t like Bon Jovi, never have and never will. I don’t go to there website and bitch about their music or Bung Jovi’s horrible voice. Point being, if you don’t like Chickenfoot, Dave, Mike, Ed, or Sam – that is fine – but what sense does it make in coming here to complain about any of them. Add something intelligent to the conversation. I’m just sick of the same arguments on every post: Eddie has done anything in ten years, Sammy’s lyrics suck, Daves lyrics suck, etc… Everyone in this band contributed in a meaningful way otherwise there wouldn’t be this kind of following. Enjoy what is out there and what is to come.
SCAR

Bort, I applaud you, another Bomb jovi hater!!!!! They do suck!!!!!!! I’d rather read one of lame6guy’s brilliantly boring complaints than listen to that bullshit bubble gum garbage!!!!!
Jason

Minnesota – St. Paul, Minneapolis….. Anywhere, etc…. You BETTER be here……. I’m waiting !!
Jake

I gotta say, now that SCAR is adding some of Sammy’s older lyrics into his posts I am starting to notice that even his older material sucked!!

And the gentleman that posted about all of the pre-video releases and news about the band overshadowing the actual product has some great insight here. I know these guys have to promote this, especially after hearing the lyrics they are going to need to promote their ass off, but watching four BEYOND grown men act like total idiots is starting to have as much of a negative effect on me as the way below average lyrics on the songs.
SCAR

Hey lame6dork, I see you took the bait!!! Pity!!! So, a thought crossed your mind? Must of been a hell of a long journey! I’d like to leave you with one thought, but, I’m not sure you have anywhere to put it!!!! You are living proof that there is no vaccine against stupidity!!! Bummer!!!! “Because Rock…. is in my blood…. Rock… is in my soul”…
SCAR

Hey Jake, dude it’s OK to have fun, you sound like life’s got you on lock down or something!!! Your one of those guys who wishes he was a rock star like Sammy but your dreams were squashed and now your nothing but a hen pecked wussy. I bet Sammy laughs at guys like you – ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!!!! What’s in your wallet Jake??? “The Beast is ready to devour all the metal they can hold”….
Jake

SCAR what’s up man, when someone doesn’t think like you the best you can come back with is an insult! I think you might be the one that needs to take a look at himself. What is the problem for real, mommy didn’t love you enough, Daddy wasn’t around to tell you it isn’t O.K to dig dudes sexually? I don’t know what it is man but you may want to talk to someone about it, other than your boyfriend.

As for me, I am livin’ the dream brotha as I play music in a kick ass band that gets a lot of props in our area, and a lot of local radio play. I’ve been playing the guitar for 24 years thanks to seein’ Eddie on tour back in the 5150 days with BOZO the big fat clown. We gig out 4-6 times a month and it is the time of my life. In fact I’d like to extend the invite to our next show to your little lady (if you have one, probably not though) or, hey why not invite your mom down too, and trust me we’ll show them the time of their life and they may even like the music!!

And what’s in my wallet, plenty actually! Probably a bit more than whats in yours I’m guessing which again may be why you are so angry. Chill out man and listen to some more Chicken crap if you want to. It’s cool and this forum is for opinions so let me and everyone else voice ours just like you do yours. Am I right about Sam and his new band, maybe, maybe not!! But I’ll tell you it sure does seem that I may be a little more correct with my opinion on Sammy’s lyrics because I ain’t the only one doggin’ them. Face it bro, your little (or should I say rather large) Jimmy Buffet wanna be has lost what little ability he had——-
LightEmUp

The Chickenfoot guys definately look like they’re having fun though! It’s nice to see Joe in a band setting and I’m sure he’ll go off more live too. Hagar seems to be burned out lyrically now though or he just doesn’t even care anymore what he writes? I thought some of his lyrics on VH’s Balance album were great though, especially on The Seventh Seal. This new stuff however is about 5 steps back lyrically…high school stuff at best here. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the music on this album though.

BTW…what’s up with this scar guy? He sounds like a total tool!
Nick

Jake,

SCAR is a brainless/jobless idiot. Don’t mind him. He disagrees with a lot of people, then presents no argument against them. His reactions are typcal for mindless/brainless/uneducated types when they don’t agree with somebody elses point-of-view.

BTW…what’s your bands name…and where’s your next gig?
http://vhnd exodus

The reason I wont buy this album is because of Sammy Hagar. There is something about the guy that strikes a nerve. I never bought a VH album with him singing. The last VH album I bought was 1984. Chickenfoot is good but they would do better with another singer. Should be a good concert, they will be covering all of VH songs plus red hot chili peppers.
I can get that for free here in my hometown, with a better singer.
The hype should be over by now for this band. Enough said , Sammy sucks, the rest of chickenfoot is awsome. Erase the lyrics and fill in with guitar……..
Line6Guy

Jake,

Yeah I agree man. It definately sounds like scar missed out on a few hugs growing up. He sounds like the cranky, lame ass neighbor who tells you not to walk on his lawn! Poor guy just doesn’t get it either. He’s been dismantled so many times online already that I almost feel sorry for replying to him. There’s definately some deep seeded issues going on there…homeboy needs a check up from the neck up pronto!

Anyways, enough of old man mullet. That’s cool that you play Jake. I play guitar too and a little bass. My buddy has a studio where we go to jam and record. What kinda gear you got? I got a Peavey Wolfgang Standard(the one w the contoured body & tone & volume knobs) & a beautiful SRV signature strat that I love to play. I’m playing through the Line6 Spider Valve Bogner head and one 4X12 cab right now. Keep tearing it up man! What’s the name of your band by the way?
ClubfootKolby

I think Van Halen needs to get Don Henley to sing for the band, he is a great singer, and a great leader
LightEmUp

ClubfootKolby,

Somehow I just can’t picture Henley singing Panama…or ANY damn Van Halen song! Haha
http://none J5149.5

ok vhnd i’ll go along with the whole chickennugget affiliation with vh and whatnot.just please promise me when the new vh record comes out we’ll be focused on that.i know, i know naysayers ,it will be 10 years until eddie releases material,wolfie’s no mikey,they’re all washed up,i spent 800 bucks on the reunion tour and walked out on the 3rd song,the sky’s falling,etc.etc.i still believe in the mighty vh and always will.not saying the newsdesk doesn’t and i have nothing against this site just making an observation of some of the comments posted.
SCAR

Seems like old man mullet struck a few nerves!!!!!! “I know this guy named Richard he’s my redneck friend”……. Later suckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake

Nick & Line6,

Thanks for the kind words guys, this SCAR dude is somethin’ else but the funny thing is, the more we chat about him the more wood he gets over it so I am done with that. He sucked me in to his childish world for one post and that was one too many.

My band’s name is Magnesium Jake and thanks for askin’. We mix up a lot of classic and alternative rock influences and try our best to keep it heavy and energetic. For gear I was using the Spider Valve for the longest time, it is a great amp and I absolutely loved the tones I could get with the metal amber channel but now I have settled in with a Carvin X100B reissue for recording and an Egnater Tourmaster for giggin’ out. I play PRS guitars mostly and my number one axe is a standard McCarty and my number two is a standard Mira. I love their feel, and for tone my opinion is they can’t be beat. I used to play a seafoam green Wolfgang by Peavey but ended up selling it to get some cash for the Mira.

Van Halen has always, and will always be my favorite band and don’t get me wrong I really like the stuff Sammy did with them, and lyrically he had a lot of real moments on 5150, For Unlawful, and Balance, but now I don’t get where he’s goin’. He is almost a parody of his former self and I hate to see him drag such great musicians like Mikey, Joe, and Chad down with him.

Anyway, cool talking with you guys, and everyone else on here. I know now that I have given my band information out SCAR will be all over us with great comments but whatever, that’s just how love goes I guess!! If you guys want to hear some tunes we are at myspace.com/mgjake. Later everyone,

Jake
SCAR

Oh yea I wouldn’t tell people you been playing for 24 years and then bash Sammy!!!! If you compared your last 24 years to Sammy’s, well lets just say you are a real turd and Sammy is THE RED ROCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stick that in your McCarty and play it!!! Thank you for the entertainment it’s been a pure waste of my time slamming you!!!!!! “Switch on the light… Later turds of thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick

WTF was that?

Nice comeback SCAR! LOL!!!!!!!!

You’re a joke dude!
Line6Guy

Jake,

Yeah the McCarty PRS’s are tasty guitars with sweet tone indeed! Cool, I’ll check you guys out on myspace. I totally agree with you about Sammy lyrically too man! He use to write some really good lyrics…5150 & Balance. But now it’s wierd, it’s like he doesn’t even care what he writes or what nonsense comes outta his mouth…kinda like scar!

BTW, scar is living proof that the unemployment rate is sky high in America right now!
SCAR

Lame6guy and Nick, now you can be groupies for Jake’s Band!!! You can be the Magnesium Girls!!!! Sorry to burst your little brain bubble, I am not unemployed, I’m actually a Mad Scientist!!! If I was unemployed, I guess I would have time to form a crappy band and pretend I’m a rock star like you three gomers!!! Have fun stroking each others egos!!!! Later Magnesium Girls!!!!!
Nick

Scar,

Once again…nice comeback!!

Get a job bro!!!!! And maybe an education too!

Wow what is this a high school vanhalen page ,people act your age,well most of you,ALL THIS FIGHTING and not much inteligent talk.I for one am looking foward to chicken foot.Theres a lot of talent there and in the state of music today everyone else should be to.NO1 SATCH WRITES SUCH GREAT MELODIES it is going to be great to see what he can do with a real band,and one loaded with talent.As far as all the Vanhalen talk hey they were one of the greatest bands ever with the greatest rock guitarist ever but lets face it I along have been waiting for ED to come out with an ass kicking guitar driven album from the gut for to long now,even if he did a solo instramentel album he would shake up the world but maybe he and Axle can get together and release something 30 years from now.I mean he didnt even show for the hall of fame,I was so looking for him to melt the place at the show ending jam.Maybe he was just home at the time puting tape on guitars he was selling for 25k how greedy you want to be .I have come to the conlusion ED is a prick.All the years of bad mouthing DAVE then SAMMY,you never wanted to believe it was EDS fault but when he gave MIKE the boot that was the one for me.And all this hating on SAMMY who I never even like before he was in VH cmon they were great with him, maybe not as dark and on the edge but theres a lot of grest music there.and as far as ED goes after hendrix everyone thought that the guitar couldnt go no further well ED sent it to another universe,as far as rock gods hendrix is the old testament and ED the new.
Line6Guy

Stringbender,

Ed was in rehab during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony…when isn’t he rehabing though? You can possibly blame Sammy a little for Ed’s relapse with the booze…I mean wouldn’t you hit the bottle hard too if you had to play guitar to a turd song like Up For Breakfast? That just happens to be scar’s favorite tune while he’s browsing the want ads by the way. Hopefully this new gal Ed’s engaged to and set to marry this year will help keep his ass clean and get him back in the studio soon to make another kickass record!! The few Chickenfoot songs I’ve heard are ok but so far it’s typical Sammy teenage lyrics to go with them.
ClubfootKolby

Maybe Don Henley could sing and play the drums for Van Halen, cause they aint doing nothing.
Deja Vu

Scored my pair of tickets for the Mass show. Was one of the lucky ones. These tickets sold out so fast. Just goes to show how much the real rock n roll fans are anticpating this blockbuster tour. Chickenfoot Lives!!!!!!
Jeremy

LINE6GUY MUST BE DOING 6 LINES WITH EDDIE IF HE THINKS VAN HALEN IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

IF PEOPLE KEEP COMMENTING ON CHICKENFOOT, JUST SHOWS THAT YOU ARE JEALOUS OF THE FACT THAT 2 FORMER MEMBERS OF VAN HALEN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO MAKE MUSIC AND CARE ABOUTH THE FANS.

EDDIE JUST PUT OUT 5150 CONDOMS AND ERUPTION LUBE SO GO BUY IT AND BE LIKE EDDIE, SHORT AND FAST AND NO SUBSTANCE!

BETTER YET, TO THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN WRITE BETTER SONGS THAN SAMMY, PROVE IT!

GO TO REDROCKER.COM AND CHICKENFOOT.US AND SUBMIT YOUR GREAT SONGS THAT WILL GIVE YOU A CAREER OF OVER 4 DECADES!

YOU CAN’T SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND DON’T RESPOND TO THE CHICKENFOOT POSTS THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE VAN HALEN DESK WANT US TO KNOW!
Jeremy

SCAR, GREAT POSTS AND THE SO CALLED FANS ARE JUST THAT, SO CALLED FANS!
Line6Guy

Jeremy,

Sorry dude but I don’t take drugs. I seem to remember Ed & Alex saying that they’d NEVER work with Roth again too and look what happened? Never say never! BTW, excellent job of ball washing scar! Calm down people, the Chickenfoot music is ok but the lyrics are beyond cheesy so far.
