Friday, 5 June 2009

Chickenfoot Listening Party!
Listen to the FULL version of the LP-only track, “Bitten By The Wolf,” as well as ALL other songs in full, right here!

UNofficial Chickenfoot “Avenida Revolucion” video
Although not “official,” this video is amazing! Posted by “themixguy” on youtube.

This was a class filming and editing project. We hope to shed some light on the ongoing struggle at the border as money, guns, and people continue to cross the lines. How many more lives will be ruined by this very complex problem? Thanks to Chickenfoot for such a great song!

    I got my copy at Best Buy,listened to it and will listen again.Seems like a lot of first time jams that were recorded.Maybe thats the idea.

  2. Ron says:

    Why don’t you change the name of the site in CFND!
    No chickenfoot, I want van Halen!!

  3. Big AL says:

    I like the song but I don’t understand why no one is creative enough to make a video different from Right Now?!

    This is what the 3rd or 4th time Sam and Mike have used this concept!

    Looking forward to watching them tonight!

  4. McD's says:

    Ron,
    We all want Van Halen…that’s why we go to this site…but there is none! Maybe…and that’s a big Maybe next year, but who knows..when was the last full album again? (not including VH III)?
    I’m happy to hear Chickenfoot…as Sammy says, it’s VH without Eddie and Alex, and they have some pretty awesome replacements in those roles.

  5. SCAR says:

    Happy Foot Day!!! Another great weekend!!! Get your buzz on people!!!!!

  6. motown says:

    Hey Big Al, Sam and Mike had nothing to do with the video. It was a class project.

  7. el c says:

    Absoloutely brilliant piece of art.
    The band have to use this. Straight up. It would win awards, and it enhances the song to a new level, and I cant say enough about the track.
    Brilliant, just Brilliant.
    Well done guys.

  8. Frank says:

    Hey Big Al, you still disagree with me after reading Mikey’s interview ’bout the VH situation?? ;-)

    Frank, NL

  9. stew says:

    BRILLIANT PIECE OF ART? Are you kiddin me ! Soooooooooo BOOOring!

  10. WTF says:

    Great song but I hate poliical rock and roll. Especially when the facts in the video are incorrect. “90% of the guns confiscated in Mexico came from the U.S.” This has been proven false a hundred times. Typical liberal psycho babble. Bring on the FUN rock and roll!

  11. Mike says:

    Seems like CF has been taking pains to not compare themselves against Van Halen, and that’s been a smart strategy.

    But then in that interview Sammy goes and says, “Chickenfoot is Van Halen without Ed and Al.”

    That’s the kind of thing the *critics* and *fans* might say on your behalf, if they deem you’ve proved yourself. When you say it *yourself* it sounds like bluster, and sets people up for disappointment.

    I’m a Sammy fan, and believe he is genuinely down to earth, but when his ego pokes out he shoots himself in the (chicken) foot.

    With The Other Half it was different, because that wasn’t a real band and they weren’t pretending to be anything more than what it was. They weren’t comparing themselves to VH.

    Bad move Sammy. Waiting for EVH to respond: “Our new album will be like Chickenfoot but without Sammy and Mike.” Hopefully he won’t respond like that (he won’t respond at all), but if he does Sammy walked right into it.

  12. ringostore says:

    Yah whatever Chickenfoot.

    Get your facts right. NO it is not 90 percent of guns coming from the US. They have traced a copious amount coming from Russia and China. Ak47s? Ah where do you think they are manufactured? It is a Russian invention.

    Presidentde Calderon is finally stepping up to bat against the drug warlords and he can’t back down. Now Odrama needs to step up and get give him some military help.

    I really don’t know what point Sammy (Mexican Cabohead Intellect) is trying to make here??

    Please VH, make a new album!!

  13. pete says:

    ringostore,this is not an official video and not made by chickenfoot.i’m dont even know if they are aware of it.

  14. phillster says:

    Unofficial is right.What re-hashed cr@p.This vid ruins
    the actual song.If ED&AL died in a plane-crash(god forbid) 15yrs ago,O.K.I`d accept this,(for Obvios reasons).
    Otherwise,I get the same feeling over&over that sam&mike are starting to resemble salesemen(not unlike GENE&PAUL of”KISS”)-
    meaning they recognize the “need4product”vs.Demands of the
    FANS.Which takes away from the musical integrity(-see”Kiss”)the fact that they`re 2rich2 care is a smokescreen.
    they(CHNFT)spent 20+yrs mastering the=VH= sound.
    OF COURSE It sounds like 0U812 reborn.How could it not??
    =CF=was on Conan last night,Mike&Joe`s guitar`s had the
    “CF” logo,as well as Chad`s bass drum head&Sam`sT-shirt,
    -ALL image-no Substance.-This is the best thing to happen to CHAD&JOE`s career,- just like joining VH was for Sam&Mike.
    I haveEVERYTHING Satch has done since `88.+as a proffessional drummerI can safely say Chad`s1 heavyass mo-fo on drums!!-They ARE the perfect
    replacement4Ed&AL as far as what Sam&Mike NEED to carry-on they`re personal
    reputations, simply put.
    Bitch at me all you want,Time will tell I`m right.
    LONG LIVE=VH=

  15. Fanboy says:

    It’s even less than “Van Halen without Ed and Al”.
    It’s “Van Halen without Dave, Ed and Al”.
    Sammy, you definitely overestimate yourself.

  16. Rick says:

    I think if Eddie and Dave would have had a remote idea in 1985 what this clown would be saying about VH in 2009, they would have thought twice about parting ways.

  17. ROB5150 says:

    I like Mike but it seem that he had a weak personality,because Sammy rules him.
    I love Hagar era of Van Halen, they was the N.1 band in late ‘80 early ‘90 but his way of talking about Chickenfoot is disappointing to me as a person.The curious thing is that Sammy wanted to create a supergroup after the reunion of Van Halen with Dave was a success. Whether envious?
    At the MTV awards in 2002 Dave and Sam were guests, during their entry, the songs were “Runnin’ with the devil” and “Right now”, no one interested in a single song from their solo career, both are liable to EDDIE VAN HALEN.
    By the way, to say that “Chickenfoot is like VH without Ed and Al” is nonsense.

  18. stubbed toe says:

    Just another tune Hammy has rehashed ideas, concepts, lyrics…you name it. This clown has brought forth nothing “new” since…well you tell me.

  19. Rocko says:

    Chickenfoot Rocks!!!! Sammy Is world Class even though I don’t agree with his statement of Chickenfoot being Van Halen without Ed and Al or rivaling Led Zeppelin. Mike is and always a pretty cool guy. Joe is smoking on th six string even though Eddie is still the king. Chad is ten times better drummer with Chickenfoot than he was when he was with those dumb ass clowns from the Chili Peppers who were a few songs good. The Wabo’s need a lesson in rockin hard more even though they still are pretty cool. As for the Current VH Fans, let’s hope to hear some new material and that it would sound harder and better than Chickenfoot. As for the haters of Chickenfoot………Their foot up your shitty skanky asses and long live the Foot

  20. pete says:

    when has van halen brought anything new? well you tell me.

  21. phillster says:

    CKFT IS =VH= LITE

  22. Fanboy says:

    Each of you, EVH haters, would sell you mother for new =VH= record. CKFT is only a substitute of what you really want to hear.

  23. stephan chartier says:

    Go sammy go show the VH brothers what it is like to make NEW misic Rock on CKFOOT

  24. phillster says:

    No One Will Ever Really Know What Happend Personally between ED,AL,DLR,MA,Sam&Gary (that brought us to this point as “collective” fans)but them alone.
    When “mob families” go to war,
    Rule #1 is to sit back& use the fallout to your advantage.
    “sammy” lovers-enjoy =CF=.
    1yr ago isaw =VH= Live,1 yr from now,We`ll have a NEW ALBUM&TOUR!!
    HOW`S THAT FOR “CURRENT”-Sounds like the schedule(Ala Aerosmith,Kiss,Stones,WHO,Metallica) of a
    History Making MegaRock Band to me!!
    So Quit yer Bitchin` naysayers.
    Enjoy your shot of “50%”=VH= for now-
    Just save some room for the “STRONGER” STUFF(100%=VH=) next `Round

  25. Rich says:

    How is Chickenfoot the best thing to happen to Chad? He’s in one of the biggest alternative rock bands ever, and has been for 20 years now. That is pretty stupid to suggest that.

    Bad move by VHND to put this video up, people aren’t bothering to read and think this is an actual chickenfoot video. Ah well.

    Can’t blame you though, for being annoyed at the recurrence of these “Right Now” style videos. Sam put one out for “Cosmic Universal Fashion” and it was lame to the extreme.

    if VH came out with a new album, I doubt they’d even need videos, word of mouth would sell that album fast (unless it was a total bomb - but if Sammy can put his shit together and make something decent, Ed can too, if not better).
