Chickenfoot: new supergroup in action
CD REVIEW
 Hiruma Cyrus
Fights and more fights. Offence and discussions make the media and the band eventually split. In the case of Van Halen, in equal parts, two musicians on each side.
Guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, drummer Alex carry on his group, which became a family business. The entrance of bassist Wolfgang, son of Eddie, showed he is a musician right, but his shyness and lack of charisma is evident in the shows. In the speech, the return of original member David Lee Roth.
The new Van Halen tour is a nostalgic event, but it is curious to hear songs that were long years out of the setlist of the shows.
Meanwhile, another faction of the band, vocalist Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, lost no time and formed the so-called supergroup: on guitar, Joe Satriani, who needs no introduction. And Chad Smith on drums, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Thus arose the Chickenfoot, unique and unusual name that is also the title of the band's debut CD.
In "Avenida Revolution" opens with a solo Satriani-style virtuoso Eddie Van Halen and recalls in "Mean Street" (CD Fair Warning, 1981). Hagar does not give any importance to the fact that the past 60 years: he lets his voice with all the power you deserve. In addition, the composition is a solid hard rock with an outstanding quality of production.
The pace of "Soap on the Rope" is very reminiscent of Van Halen OU812 (1988) and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991) and highlights are for the incisive guitar riffs that coordinate aggressive melodic line of the song.
"Sexy Little Thing", as the title of the lyrics brings a typical Sammy Hagar, but the music surprises. It is a folk-blues that highlights the band's more acoustic side and an ideal chance for Michael Anthony show their strong presence on backing vocals.
The progress of "Oh Yeah" begins to show a certain repetition in the formula CD listening to the moment when the chorus begins an outbreak of weight. The low wins the foreground and Satriani is the perfect way to ground, one of the best moments of the album. The opposite of "Runnin 'Out," which brings no novelty begins to tire and the lack of change in progress.
"Get It Up" arrives on time to save the situation: Chad Smith accelerates the download speed stick and decibels on Hagar, who barks loudly letters. Joe Satriani acts with intelligence and blend sequences with slower speed, close to the blues. The result is great.
It is a pity that "Down the Drain" Do not hold the same sink. The greatest merit is for the use of guitar effects pedals and variations of sound, responsible for the creative side of music.
The band returns to thrill in "My Kinda Girl", more dynamic than its predecessor, the weight measured at the right and a lot of fun, spontaneity reminiscent of the current solo Sammy Hagar. Moreover, the ballad "Learning to Fall" is a typical composition of the singer, combined with a beautiful introduction of Satriani.
"Turnin 'Left' is just a theme that serves as a passage to the last track," Future in the Past. " The beginning resembles the classic "Can not Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith. But the similarity ends there, the instrumental gains strength and becomes a powerful hard rock, ideal end of the CD.
The debut album from Chickenfoot is not sensational, but it shows that the union of these musicians earned a good job, done with great vitality. There is plenty of energy for new projects and creative potential can be better spent on a second album.
