"Chickenfoot" (Fontana;

Chickenfoot. Sounds like a name of a bad fast foot chain. However, that could not be farther from the truth. Chickenfoot is Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith. That's what I call a supergroup.
This release is rock'n'roll. Period. It is what it is: no record company bullshit, nothing to get in the way of the music. When a band is in a right place, it shows in their music and Chickenfoot is in the right place at the right time and their musical presentation is close to perfection.
Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are, of course, ex-Van Halen, Chad Smith is currently still with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Joe Satriani is ... well, Joe Satriani, 'nuff said. Separately, they are musicians who have played worldwide and sold millions of albums; together the chemistry is undeniable and this recording is simply rock'n'roll majesty.
I seem to be spinning my wheels here. In plain English: Chickenfoot rocks!!

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
