Chickenfoot To Hit The Studio
Sammy says that the band to start new album in April
Chickenfoot will enter the studio in April to start work on a new album.
Speaking to Attention Deficit Delirium, frontman Sammy Hagar revealed that he is keen to get back together with Chickenfoot to record a new record and won’t be doing any solo work until that’s finished.
"I'm pretty much going to wait for Chickenfoot now. I was asked if I wanted to go out and do some solo shows this summer and was offered a great package with somebody that I thought would be really great. I thought I'd put Mike in the band and we'd go out and do it for fun, then just this morning I woke up and said, "I'm not going to do that. I'm going to wait for Chickenfoot." It's something special. I might go out and play 25 or 30 concerts this summer, and if something were to happen with Chickenfoot in the fall, I might not feel like touring because I just toured. I want to save it for my passion right now, just like I said when we first started talking. I've got a passion for Chickenfoot. I woke up one morning and said, "I want to play with Joe Satriani, Chad Smith" — who I had been jamming with a lot at the Cabo — "and Mikey." I wanted to put together this band, and I was so overwhelmed with it. It's all I wanted to do. I did it, it worked and I want to do it some more now. I want to keep that passion and not burn myself out on something else. Right now that's my band.
"In April we’re supposed to go in the studio. Chad (Smith) has a little window from the Chili Peppers, and we’re going to go in and start recording a second album. We’re not going to rush it, we’re going to start. Joe (Satriani) and I are always writing. We’re definitely going to try to do it again.”
Chickenfoot release brand new live DVD, Get Your Buzz On Live, on 26 April.
