chickenfoot best album!

[Seshmeister]

BTW they won Best New Group not Best Album.

Steel Panther of course should have won both.

I met one at a gig a couple of years ago and he was a complete twat. A total ligger as we used to call them. All he wanted to do was tell me about bands he had met who I hadn't even heard of.

Who gives a fuck apart from 17 year old girls?

HAHAH

Some 17-year old girls make better albums than Chickenshit though...

[Golden AWe]

Btw, here's Stalingrad Cowgirls...they're about 20 (?) and I like them better than Chickenfoot...

Chickenfoot had their moment to really make a point.
But all it does is smack of a Sammy Hagar led project.
So you get the same old, same old.
Shallow and meaningless lyrics and self comparisons to
Rock gods. Its the same deal Hagar puts out there
everytime, Only interest to anyone is there is an
actual original CVH member in the band.

How come all the critics and DJs I've heard seem to think the Chickenshit album is brilliant yet everyone I speak to agrees its complete mediocre thoughtless fucking shit?

Could it be that classic rock critics and DJs are clueless losers these days.

Naw man, the problem with Chickenshit is, as I've said, the past of its members. It's something like a supergroup.

I mean, Spam and Bass Player have been in Van Halen.

Satriani has a reputation as a guitarist.

And the other guy from Chilli Peppers.

Critics who know shit about music are likely to regard this combination of elements as the gratest thing since the Spice Girls.

Steel Panther of course should have won both.

Yeah, but I have a feeling that they'll never be properly recognized as the extremely good musicians that they are because they'll always be regarded as something of a joke band.

Cheers! :bottle:

I doubt if any young girls would be into a band that has 2 oap's ,.for bass and vocals, an alien on guitar and a bum for a drummer.

But i still like mikey

Satriani is surprisingly poor though. His riffs and songwriting on this is a big bucket of pus.

Although to be fair I've only heard about half of it because I got very bored.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yea, Chickenfoot. Great band. I'm sure, years from now, people will still be talking about them...

Person 1: "Do you remember that sort of supergroup type-thing with all those ageing anal buddies that didn't really work?"

Person 2: "No."

I'm actually indifferent. Who cares? Unless I've somehow won an award...in which case I'd be very interested and maybe a little bit confused. People probably voted for them on the basis of each individual members track record (i.e. Hagar fans voted/Satriani fans voted/RHCP fans voted/fans of relatively irrelavent bass players voted), as opposed to people actually thinking they're the best new band.

Hagar - same old, same old.
Satriani - snorefest.
Anthony - kept in the background, once again.
Smith - along for the paycheck.
Album - forgettable.
Band - doesn't really mesh well, contrary to how they try to convince us they do.
Legacy - none.

That is all.

LOL,Best Album,You Got To Be Joking?

Not all that surprising. Talented guitar player isn't the same as a talented songwriter. Fell exactly along the same lines as Van Hagar did, in that whenever Eddie did come up with some decent instrumentation, Hagar's mediocre blandness just served to undermine it. Same thing happened with Chickenfoot, only it was just that much more in the forefront because Satriani is a far better soloist than he is a riff writer.

Makes the most sense here. I highly doubt everyone who voted has even listened to the album in it's entirety.

Actually they kind of voted for them as Best New 25 Year Old Rock Band.

How many contenders were there? The only other one I can think of was Steel Panther.

Musically I like one song... Down the Drain. But like you said Hagar's bland lyrical crap and melodies really drag it down.

From what I've heard of the album and an interview... Satriani composed most the songs and purposely went for a traditional blue collar/70's style rock format for his rhythm structures rather than his more progressive approach in his solo instrumentals. That probably adds to the blandness in comparison to his solo material from what we're used to hearing from Joe.

I do like Mike's bass work being in the front of the mix from a couple of tunes I heard and he plays more than single root note lines.
