    The military asked for VH first, but Eddie told them only if they issue EVH sneakers to every recruit, so they had to move down the list of bands…

    Oh – I thought that when the Military asked for EVH, he responded with a “I’m busy working in my studio, but boy-oh-boy is my wife happy!”

    Chickenfoot are amazing!!!! I just love love loooove that sexy little thing!!!

  • Jack

    When is Satch going to lose the Gilligan hat?

  • F’nRockstar

    These guys are everywhere! Good for them…keep rockin new original music!

    The Chickenfoot boys need to watch their mouths. That’s twice I’ve heard homosexual jokes about military folk from them: once in this video and once at a Chickenfoot concert I saw about a month ago. The comments came from Sammy and Chad. They may wind up with a size 10 boot in their ass. It just might give them the Chickenshits. Watch your mouths, Chickenfoot.

    Hay CSM Who are you???? Chickenfoot can say what ever they like it’s a free country so you better watch it or ill stick my size 13 in your ass

  • SCAR

    Hmmmm, CSM, since this easily offends you I think it’s time for you to come out of the closet!!! Get a sense of humor!

  • TheTruthHurts

    I knew somebody could find a way to twist Chickenfoot’s support of the troops into something negative. By the way, there was nothing homosexual about the reference, unless you think Chad was calling himself gay. But you read into what you want to read into it.

    Nice of the ‘Foot to send a message to the troops. Anthony was very receptive to doing something on a base, that would be great for the military!

    Ya CSM, simmer down. I thought that was all good.

    On a side note the first person that will depart CF will be Chad Smith. I am not sure he is 100% committed to CF. I get the impression he is a bit embarrassed when Sammy squacking. Besides, I doubt Sammy will want to wait for Chad while he is doing the Pepper record and tour. Next year I sense a new drummer for CF.

  • Pete

    Good for the guys…and to doubters like BOSOX…time will tell, time will tell. One of us will be correct, and time will prove that. It won’t be you though. Remember that, and man-up when the time comes.

  • CSM

    Wow, simmer down yourselves. I’m a huge CF fan myself. Don’t get me wrong. No one is spinning this to make it sound CF are anti-military. You sound like a bunch of Republicans for crying out loud. They’ve made a few off-handed remarks that I and several other military folks take exception to. Sammy said something along the lines of “if you’re military you’re probably gay” during a Virginia show I attended. It was at the start of Soap on a Rope. After he said it, there noticeable hush in the crowd. And stephan chartier, you wouldn’t last a minute. I guarentee it, son.

    CSM says: Sammy said something along the lines of “if you’re military you’re probably gay” during a Virginia show I attended.

    Oh, what-EVER! I’d have to hear it to believe it. I like how you “guarentee” that Stephan wouldn’t last a minute–but you know nothing about him. Nice.

  • bosox

    Oh Pete relax, I like CF. Probably the best rock act out right now. Now get Chad Smiths balls out of your mouth.

  • bosox

    No shit CSM, that must have been really uncomfortable. What did they do after that remark.

  • Pete

    Bosox…what’s with the gay reference?

    ???????

    You predicted that Sammy will move on without Chad, or Chad will simply move on. I merely said that time will prove one of us to be correct, because they both seem pretty committed to this great band.

    I’m not sure what the gay reference was all about, but I’ll leave that one with you to come to grips with. (It’s pretty gross actually, and I can’t imagine a straight man coming up with something like that in response to a fairly innocuous comment about a rock and roll band.)

  • bosox

    Pete, my bad, whatever comes from me is always in a joking way. Never take anything I say seriously, what I meant is like when you call a friend a pansy etc. Never mean spirited, my goal is not to offend. I mean come on this is a all kinda a joke right? Carrying on about this band like it is the end all be all. Peace out, excuse me while I remove Chads balls from my chin.

  • CSM

    BOSOX: they were playing in Portsmouth, VA. A big Navy town. When Sammy said it, a lot of people just looked at each other in disbelief. Kind of like “who does this guy think he is?” It was very palpable. But they were rockin and putting on a great show. I think that’s what saved them. If they weren’t kicking ass, they might have gotten booed. Plus they went right in to Soap on a Rope…so there was only about 10 seconds of this unease.

    TheTruthHurts: Who are you and relevance do you have? How can you comment on things you know nothing about?

    Sometimes It’s just fun to sit back and watch the sammy fans argue… ;)

  • BTD

    Wow I feel for Rock Stars, Actors and such. My god the guys in CF have had to answer these same fuckin questions over and over again…but they always answer the question like it’s the first time they were asked. Good dudes,I couldn’t do it I say “your asking us about our name come on we’ve been asked that a 1000 times do have an original question.”
