Title: Supergroup Chicken Foot on first week of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
Post by: snogrog on May 23, 2009, 02:37:54 PM: Friday, June 5th, Supergroup Chicken Foot (who, if you've forgotten, consists of ex-Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar, ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, drummer Chad Smith of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and guitarist Joe Satriani.).

What are the odds of getting MicNicPicMicNic on there the second week?! (Pretty sure i just messed up the saying and spelling of that...and they may have new members now I'm forgetting!)

(get it, "note"? Music?)

I think this can all be arranged before June 5th. Get to work, fellas.

Context: Just a few days previous, the guys from Green Day gave Conan a guitar.

Conan was markedly less excited by Satriani's gift, a custom guitar with the dumb Chickenfoot logo on it. You could hear him on mic saying "oh no, you don't have to do that" ... and you could see him thinking "Oh god, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!".

Why, exactly?

He isn't on television all that much to begin with. But Conan did have him on several times. I don't imagine you'll see Jonathan Richman on The Tonight Show.

Jonathan Richman lives in San Francisco ... I would hope that Conan would make an effort to invite some old friends onto the new show.

They really sucked. Anthony's just untalented, and Hagar's about 20 years past his 4-6 week prime, but I had hopes that Satriani could pull off something; whether you like his style or not, that guy's seriously talented. But it just sucked from start to finish. I can't imagine they will even be a band a year from now. So, ~~~~super~~group~~, I guess.

Post by: reallynotclever on June 13, 2009, 09:07:04 PM: Just got my first taste of the new chickenfoot album. What an absolute trainwreck of sub-moronic cliches & totally recycled music. "She can drive when I get wasted. A stoners dream on A Friday night. Jump on it. I love, love, love my sexy little thing."- Sexy Little Thing, Track 3. I expected it to be bad, it far exceeded my expectations. If you liked "Blueberries For Breakfast", you'll love this heap of garbage. A Hilarious mess. You can listen to the album for free at http://www.chickenfoot.us/listeningparty/

It hurts my ears just to read your description.

Anthony's just untalented

Really? Tom himself admitted that MA was an "atomic clock" - if that's not talent then I don't know what is!

And you try hitting those high notes !

MICHAEL ANTHONY FOREVER!

"He has torn his small bicep and cannot play the show Wednesday, 1 Jul. The band is very sorry they cannot play for their Spanish fans this week and plan to return as soon as possible".

Yah, and those songs are so complex that they could never pay somebody like Mr Wurster 8-10k/night to fill in.
