I bought it. I wanted to like it.
I didn't.

I guess for a couple reasons: one, I've determined that I'm just not that keen on Sammy Hagar. I quit buying Van Halen records right after 5150 as well.

Secondly, there's nothing on this Chickenfoot album that Giant didn't do better 15+ years ago.YouTube: Giant Live in the Studio

IMHO, YMMV

I can see were you are coming from...I am used to looking at each as an individual.

The heavier groove would have a lot to do with the fact that they turned up Michael Anthony, and also that they have a real drummer.

I really want Chickenfoot to succeed if for no other reason than Chad Smith. He is one of my top 5 favorite drummers (that's not dead) and on top of that I cannot find a single bad word that has been said about him as a person.

I like the CD. We're learning two of the songs to cover. They're coming to Myrtle Beach in August, and I'm debating on the $52 ticket price.

I'm assuming you guys caught them on Conan. Best thing about the performance: Chad Smith's "I am not Will Ferrell" T-shirt. I always thought he and Will Ferrell looked just alike.

Such a sad effort, so cliche sounding. I could not like one cut on it. I'm a fan of everyone in the band except Hagar.


Just so mediocre. I tried to like it, but can't.

I'm right there too. I'd go see them live in a heartbeat, though.

I said the exact same thing to my friends "best part of the performance was Chad Smith's shirt." That's not high praise for the band.
