Van Halen Hangs Backstage with Chickenfoot’s Chad Smith

by VHND — updated July 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

One week ago today, Van Halen performed their second sold out show at Madison Square Garden. That same night, Chickenfoot happened to performed a song on the Tonight Show, minus their original drummer Chad Smith, who is currently being replaced by Kenny Aronoff.

Chad had other plans that night. Here he is backstage at the Garden with Eddie, Alex, and Wolf. Priorities, right?

Wolf tweeted the photo above, and Smith renamed himself “Long lost brother Chad ‘turtleballs’ Van Halen”.
