Chickenfoot...well let's see now...A good drummer...a very good bass player with high harmony vocal chops...a lead singer that certainly doesn't need any introduction...and finally, a rhythm/lead virtuoso guitar player who's so good that he defies description all playing some pretty good but not great songs and there you have it...a pretty damn fine album. I would give an 8.5 out of 10...and I'm listening to it as I write this...I say buy it. BlueRick@BlueRick.com blues u can use
From the beginning track "Avenida Revolucion" through all the songs ending with "Future in the Past" I was amazed at how much this Chickenfoot effort sounded like Van Halen's release OU812. With Michael Anthony on bass, I guess you can't help but to instantly pick up on the Van Hagar years with Sammy pluggin' away writing hit after hit and jammin' with Van Halen. Sammy wrote most of the 11 songs that are on this release, and let me tell you if your expecting a Waborita's style then you may be disappointed! Think late 70's Sammy solo + mid to late 80's Van Halen + the outstanding drummer Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Pepper's fame + the awesome lead guitar put down by Mr. Joe Satriani and you will come to just one conclusion, it = a hard rockin' straight forward guitar laden romp with outstanding storytelling songs sung by a master! Folks their simply isn't a bad or mediocre song on this disk. I do have a few favorites though after listening to the disk front to back 4 times now. The opener Avenida Revolucion is my favorite, its in your face, has great lyrics and perhaps the best guitar licks on the whole cd. My 2nd favorite, and a close second to Avenida is the ultra catchy track 5 "Runnin' Out". If your a fan of Sammy, or if you liked the Hagar w/ Van Halen years, if your a fan of Satch (Joe Satriani), or just a fan of great hard rock music you'll absolutely love this cd! I guarantee it!Read full review
First of all let me tell you that I didn't know about Chickenfoot, one afternoon I received a SMS from a cousin, telling me that Chicckenfoot is good rock... I started to look for the band in the internet, when I realized the musicians that formed the band my mind and heart blown away. That same day I went to a local store to find the CD and bought the regular... the first impression was kind of hesitating about what I heard. After listening to it more than two times I was amazed with the sound a the songs structure. Then I satarted to look for the Special Edition (DVD included) Regarding the music... I will tell how I feel every song. 1. Avenida Revolution, the first time I heard to it, I felt a strange sensation, because is slow and the rythm for me was hard to catch. However, listening carefuly it is possible to understand the intention of the band with the song, is great 3.5/5 2. Soap on a Rope, the very first riff is catchy and Sammy's vocals are great, the structure is kind of repetitive, but is a good song 3/5 3. Sexy Little Thing, with this song my perspective of the CD started to change, it has kind of country style and the lyrics are great 4/5 4. Oh Yeah, this is the soul of Chickenfoot, with this song I realize how the band enjoy to make music... just look for the video in YouTube and you will catch what I mean 4.5/5 5. Runnin' Out, wow, this song is ALA Van Halen, it could fit in those old 80's records (5150 & OU812) 4/5 6. Get it Up, this is the most rocker song of the CD, it has different type of vocals, Michael Anthony is a great bass player and his job as backing vocal can be appreciated here 4/5 7. Down The Drain, this is a song that was created from a jamming session, it is amazing the bluesy sense of the song, Satriani's riffs are great, and Sammy's vocals are amazing 5/5 8. My Kinda Girl, I love this song, is the kind of song that has great rythm, the chorus and the bridges are great, and again Michael's baking vocals are supreme 5/5 9. Learning to Fall, this is the ballad of the CD, it has deep lyrics and the music flows softly, at the end it is possible to take a deep breath full of life. 5/5 10. Turnin' Left, after a slow and clam song, Turnin' Left is the song that moves you a lot, with fast tempos and a catchy chorus, it's like Get it Up. 4.5/5 11. Future in the past, this is the reflexive song of the CD, is a great close of a great record, with this song you want to here the whole CD AGAIN!!! After all, with Joe Satriani, Chad Smith, Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony in a band you can expect the best of the best in rock n' roll. I can't wait for their next release early next year. Go for it, you won't regret.Read full review
Rock. The way it should be done by some of the best in the business. Old school. And by that I mean musicians that have poured there blood, life, heart, and soul into giving us a lifetime of what *Rock'in Roll* truly is. Sammy Hagar (vocals); Joe Satriani (guitar); Michael Anthony (bass guitar); Chad Smith (drums). Chickenfoot will take you back to the good old days when music would set you free. After listening to this CD the only you can feel is.....GOOD.

A great DVD pack in one word. To see some extra materials you need to "Play All" instead of selecting tracks. Extras are very interesting. I've always loved to see Joe out of stage. Band is playing amazing, as Chad said there's a chemistry in-between them :) Video Quality: 4.5 of 5.0 Audio Quality: 4.5 of 5.0 (no audio selection DD5.1/DTS/Stereo) Extras: 4.0 of 5.0 (I think could be more) Package: 4.5 of 5.0 Content: 4.0 of 5.0 (Some of tracks are not complete in videos) Price/value: 5.0 of 5.0 Directed/edited: 5.0 of 5.0 Thanks for bonus track!!!
