Chickenfoot III

my friends Chickenfoot (pe care sunt mindru :) ca i-am vazut live in 2009, la Paris la Olympia), si cronica aici) au scos un nou album, aparut pe 27 septembrie, intitulat in mod ciudat Chickenfoot III (avind in vedere ca e al doilea ! ).
dixit Hagar:

Sammy Hagar appeared on That Metal Show on VH1 Classic and admitted that Chickenfoot decided to name their second album "Chickenfoot III" to avoid the dreaded second album drop-off experienced by most bands. He said they just decided to "skip" the second album and make the third album.

e fun si melodic, cu riffuri hendrixiene de la Joe Satriani.
piesa Three and a Half Letters are conotatii sociale, referitor la criza, sunt poverstile oamenilor ramasi fara slujbe, gen Up in the Air. Sammy Hagar urla disperat: "I need a job".
mai e si un Dubai Blues, destul de dubios ca mesaj (ai totul pe lume, dar n-o ai pe ea..), dar ritmic, forte , blues-ul e numai in titlu !
piesele mai slow sunt Come Closer si Something's Going Wrong...
piesa bonus e un atac la adresa administratiei si administratiilor, "they lied about"...(No Change)
videoclipul Big Foot (primul single) e ciudatel.

in rest amanuntre si filmulete la ei pe site.
Chad Smith (tobarul functional de la Red Hot Chili Peppers) a inregistrat albumul dar nu participa la turneul nou, datorita angajamentelor de tour RHCP (care au scos si ei album nou, in septembrie (I'm With You). Il inlocuieste Kenny Aronoff.
