CHICKENFOOT: New Album Gets Release Date; First Single Due In July - June 30, 2011
CHICKENFOOT's second album will be released on September 27. The CD's first single, "Bigfoot", is scheduled to hit the airwaves sometime in July.

Bassist Michael Anthony, who turned 57 this month, described the new CHICKENFOOT album as "a lot heavier than the first record."

CHICKENFOOT is the rock supergroup featuring former VAN HALEN singer Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith.

Although Hagar stated in March that CHICKENFOOT's second album would be titled Chickenfoot IV" (Four), Anthony told the Van Halen News Desk that the band eventually decided against the idea.

The new CHICKENFOOT CD's initial recording sessions were overseen by Mike Fraser, a Canadian producer, engineer and mixer who has previously worked with AC/DC, METALLICA and AEROSMITH. Other songtitles set to appear on the album include "Last Temptation", "Something's Gone Wrong", "Dubai Blues", "Different Devil", "No Change", "Who's Next" and "Astral Years".

Chad Smith recently confirmed that he won't tour with CHICKENFOOT this year in support of the band's second album due to scheduling conflicts with his main group, the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.

CHICKENFOOT's self-titled debut disc came out in June 2009 and was certified gold for sales of more than 500,000 copies.

Good news for sure.. I can't wait to hear this.. Been expecting it for a long time and glad to see it finally come out..
So I take it Mike Fraser will also produce this one?? I hope.. The first one was a great CD that brought back some good Rock and Roll..
No Chad as to be expected on tour but at least he got to be in on the studio CD.. I wonder who will play drums if they do tour.. Chad is a hard one to copy..

Two rumours for Chad's fill in replacement are Jason Bonham and Matt Sorum

I hope Michael is right about being harder. I'm still trying to get into the first. Hopefully the new one will have an edge to it.

I like the first record, so I'm looking forward to this one. I think they should find a permanent replacement for Chad Smith, and just invite him in as a guest, would be great if he pulled a Portnoy and left RHCP for Chickefoot full time though.

Hmm, that's interesting.

Yes very...Jason is the "have sticks will travel" drummer

Looking forward to this. It's release date is the same as the new Rush DVD from the Time Machine tour. Chad Smith is a funny guy and fits right in with the foot. Sorry he won't be touring with them. Their live DVD Get Your Buzz On is terrific.
