on est pas le 1er avril, donc cela ne semble pas un canular, auquel cas youpi ! c'est ici :
http://www2.canoe.com/divertissement/musique/nouvelles/2008/05/24/5658916-pc.html
Un guitariste virtuose et un ancien batteur de Van Halen se retrouvent dans le nouveau «super groupe» de Sammy Hagar, mais ceux qui espèrent le voir à nouveau chanter aux côtés du héros de la six cordes auquel il est le plus souvent associé risquent d'être déçus.
Il semble en effet qu'une trêve dans la guerre qui oppose Sammy Hagar - surnommé Red Rocker - à Eddie Van Halen n'aura pas lieu avant des années, si elle arrive jamais.
«J'aime Eddie, mais nous ne nous aimons pas l'un l'autre, a-t-il déclaré jeudi au cours d'une entrevue. J'ai entendu dire qu'il était à nouveau désintoxiqué. Heureusement qu'il reste sur cette voie et qu'il n'est pas mort, parce qu'avant que nous mourrions tous les deux, il faut absolument que nous redevenions amis. Mais comme je dis, les gens doivent avoir la tête sur les épaules et être en bonne santé avant de pouvoir régler un différend.»
Les combats d'Eddie Van Halen contre la drogue et l'alcool sont légendaires. Ses excès ont, par le passé, conduit à l'échec plusieurs concerts avec Hagar. L'an dernier, une tournée avec David Lee Roth le chanteur originel du groupe et prédécesseur de Sammy Hagar - avait même d être reportée.
Plutôt que d'attendre que cette amitié se ressoude, Sammy Hagar a donc décidé de monter un groupe avec le guitariste virtuose Joe Satriani, le batteur des Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chad Smith, et l'ancien bassiste de Van Halen, Michael Anthony.
Le groupe, baptisé Chickenfoot, entrera en studio la veille de la fête du Travail.
«Nous avons écrit huit ou neuf chansons. Il ne nous reste plus qu'à aller en studio le 1er septembre, a indiqué Sammy Hagar. Quand les gens entendent notre musique, ils pensent à Led Zeppelin. C'est aussi bon que ça. Je sais que c'est une comparaison osée (...). On peut rivaliser avec Zep.»
Bronzé, portant le bouc et arborant toujours la même la tignasse blonde, Sammy Hagar, âgé de 60 ans, ressemble remarquablement à celui qu'il était à l'époque de Van Halen.
Après un concert avec les Wabos - un autre des ses groupes - au Casino Rama, dans le nord de Toronto, Hagar s'est installé pour la journée dans un hôtel du centre-ville afin de faire la promotion de son nouveau métier: expert en spiritueux.
Les fans de Van Halen n'ont certainement pas oublié le titre Cabo Wabo, tiré de l'album de 1988 OU812 maintes fois certifié platine, qui faisait l'éloge de la ville mexicaine de Cabo San Lucas.
L'amour de Hagar pour cette ville l'a conduit à ouvrir plusieurs restaurants et à lancer une marque de tequila portant le nom de la chanson. Il passe maintenant l'été a vendre la Cabo Wabo Tequila.
C'est parce qu'il voulait servir dans ses restaurants de Cabo San Luca une boisson locale de qualité que Sammy Hagar a eu cette idée. La marque a grandi et s'est peu à peu imposée sur le marché américain.
L'an dernier, le chanteur a vendu 80 pour cent des parts de sa société à une compagnie internationale spécialisée dans les spiritueux. La transaction lui a rapporté 80 millions $.
«Tout le monde pensait que c'était juste un gadget. C'est une tequila qui est chère (la bouteille de 750 ml se vend 71,20 $ au Canada). Et ils se disaient: qu'est-ce que ce type connaît à la tequila?»
Hagar est même arrivé à convaincre Michael Anthony de lamper sa tequila sur scène, alors que le bassiste était plutôt connu pour apprécier le Jack Daniels qu'il buvait directement à la bouteille pendant qu'il était sur scène, à l'époque de Van Halen. |

ce super groupe sera en studio en Septembre :
The new "supergroup" featuring former VAN HALEN frontman Sammy Hagar, ex-VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith recently began work on material for its debut album. According to Anthony, that music that has so far been completed for the band, tentatively called CHICKENFOOT, is "F--IN' rockin and we hope to be in the studio finishing it up early September so we can get out there and PLAY!"
Smith told The Pulse of Radio he got involved in the project by owning a home near Hagar's place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "If you're in Cabo, of course you know Sammy 'cause he's, you know, he rules the joint," he said. "And he's a really nice man, he's a great guy actually. Somehow he's taken a liking to me, and we played in Vegas, and we played some cover songs — we're a good cover band now. He got pretty excited about it and it actually sounded really good. Him and Joe got together up at his place and they wrote like five things together, and we'll see."
Hagar himself spoke about the project in a recent interview, explaining, "We've written eight, nine songs...When people hear the music, it's LED ZEPPELIN. It's as good as that. I know that's a mighty bold statement...We could rival ZEP."
Hagar sang with VAN HALEN from 1986 to 1996, and again on a 2004 reunion tour, but left both times after feuding with guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Hagar said recently about his relationship with the troubled guitar hero, "I love Eddie, but we don't love each other. I heard that he got cleaned up again. Hopefully he stays that way and doesn't die, because before we both die we have to be friends again."
Chad Smith has been playing with former DEEP PURPLE bassist/singer Glenn Hughes as well as his own jazz combo since the CHILI PEPPERS came off the road last year after touring in support of 2006's "Stadium Arcadium" CD. |

Sammy Hagar fait lepoint sur ses activités, entre le futur album solo le 18 novembre et Chickenfoot :
Billboard magazine recently conducted an interview with former VAN HALEN singer Sammy Hagar about Sammy's new album, "Cosmic Universal Fashion" (out November 18 via Loud & Proud/Roadrunner), and his CHICKENFOOT project which also features guitarist Joe Satriani, bassist Michael Anthony (formerly of VAN HALEN) and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Billboard: What's the story behind the track "Cosmic Universal Fashion"?
Hagar: I was looking for management a few years back, and I had a meeting with Miles Copeland in Cabo. And I said to him, "If you were my manager, what would you think I should do?" He said, "I think you should be more political, make more statements, become a more outspoken artist." I've never been that. Being an activist for me was "I Can't Drive 55". That was my rebel yell. So he got me thinking: "I am older, more mature. How many times can I keep writing rock 'n' roll car songs?" With "Right Now" I tried to do it in VAN HALEN a little bit, but I got pushback from those guys at the time. So Miles brought me this song. I based the album around the idea of, "I think I need to make some more statements."
Billboard: What's next for the CHICKENFOOT project?
Hagar: We got in the studio and recorded eight demos in two days. The chemistry is everything in a band. The band changes one guy, sometimes the whole damn thing changes — look what happened when I joined VAN HALEN. But with this band, the chemistry is awesome. It's the best chemistry I've ever experienced, better than the MONTROSE chemistry, better than the VAN HALEN chemistry. We've got nine songs recorded, we're going back in December to get a couple more songs and will hopefully have a February/March release.

et pour compléter l'info, un widget sympa :
http://www.chickenfoot.us/
le groupe vient de faire un concert, des photos ici :
http://www.johncuniberti.com/photos/
CHICKENFOOT, the "supergroup" featuring members of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and VAN HALEN, played a private concert on March 18, 2009 in Southern California for employees of Best Buy. A photo taken at the show can be found at this location. Concert video footage can be viewed below (from 2:46 to 3:07 mark).
CHICKENFOOT will release its self-titled debut disc this spring. The first single from the CD will either be "Oh, Yeah!" or "Bitten By The Wolf". The band will also hit the road in May in support of the album, hitting clubs in the U.S. first, heading to Europe during the summer, then coming back for a larger North American run in the fall.
Two full songs — "Soap On A Rope" and "Down The Drain" — are available for streaming on the CHICKENFOOT MySpace page.
The group plans to perform songs from each of its members'careers in addition to tracks from the CHICKENFOOT album, so fans will get to hear songs from VAN HALEN, the CHILI PEPPERS, Satriani, and Hagar's solo catalog.
CHICKENFOOT will appear on the cover of the June issue of Guitar World, due out on April 7. |

et la bio de melodic, une vraie bible :
Bio: "Rarely has a band come freighted with such expectation and promise than the new outfit that calls itself Chickenfoot.
Yes, you read correctly - Chickenfoot. Say that name again, just to get used to its sound. Chickenfoot. It's a silly name for a band - - and album - - that kicks a donkey's ass six ways to Sunday and back again. Maybe that's because long before the four men who comprise Chickenfoot came together they already filled the pages of rock history with enough individual mind-blowing chapters to boggle the mind. The news that they've pooled their inordinate talents to one collective whole quickly spread across the Internet last year (and perhaps that crazy name helped just a little). The fact that they've succeeded artistically beyond anyone's wildest dreams (except perhaps their own) is all the more reason to celebrate.
First, let's consider the stellar line-up. There's Joe Satriani, he of guitar god status, a dream born on the fateful day of September 18, 1970. It was the day Jimi Hendrix died, and it was the same day that Satriani, upon hearing the news, quit his high school football team and decided, at age 14, to devote his life to the electric guitar. Interesting, what Satriani wanted more than anything was to be part of a big-time rock band fronted by a larger-than-life singer. He bounced around from group to group, but nothing hit the mark. Finally, he scraped money together and made a record of his solo guitar recordings. Not of this Earth attracted the attention of the guitar cognostici. But it was 1987's Surfing with the Alien that made Satriani a household name. The album went Gold (it has since gone multi-Platinum) and went on to become a benchmark of its kind. Since that time, Satriani has become one of the world's most influential guitarists, releasing albums such as The Extremist and Super Colossal that have sold in the millions around the world. "It was all by accident," the soft-spoken guitarist says. "I never mapped out a plan to be an instrumentalist. I really wanted to be a part of a big vocal-oriented rock band. I had offers, but nothing seemed to fit. Everything seemed like career move...until Chickenfoot."
So what about that singer? Well, that would be another guy who needs no introduction; Sammy Hagar, the original "Red Rocker", a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee for his tenure with Van Halen, who made his professional debut as the singer for the much-revered group Montrose during the early 70's. As a replacement for the iconic David Lee Roth, Hagar faced what many would have viewed as an unenviable, if not impossible fast, but as Hagar sees it, "I decided I wasn't going to get criticized for being the second singer in the band - - I was going to be the only singer in the band."
Hagar carried the Van Halen brand to new heights, and together they scored a string of No. 1 albums and sold tens of millions of albums. "I upheld the artistry of the band," reflects Hagar, "and brought them to new places they normally wouldn't have gone. That, to me, is what I really accomplished in that band." Hagar wasn't looking to form a new group in his post-Van Halen career. "I really wasn't looking to have a real band, but when I got involved with these guys, only a fool would say, 'No, I'm not going to do this.' The minute we started jamming it was obvious, like, 'This is something that needs to be heard.'"
A great band is nothing without a great rhythm section, and Chickenfoot has one of the best in the two-man team of bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Chad Smith.
As a founding member (and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer) of Van Halen, Anthony laid the bedrock for which guitar genius Eddie Van Halen could fly. More than that, he provided a signature style of background vocal that became an intrinsic part of that band. "A total fluke," the good-natured bassist humbly asserts. "I was just doing what came naturally." Hagar sees Anthony's abilities differently - "Michael keeps the band going. Listen, he's never going to get the kind of credit he deserves - - he played next to Eddie Van Halen. Hell, Jack Bruce didn't get much credit compared to Eric Clapton - - that's just the nature of things. Mikey held down the fort, and he still does."
Aiding Anthony in holding down the fort is Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have, since Smith joined the group in the late Eighties, gone from cult faves to a worldwide force. Heretofore thought of as a "funk/alternative" drummer, Smith gets to rock hard with Chickenfoot, and the percussion explosion he creates might come as a surprise to those who only know of his work from tracks like Under The Bridge. "The guy's from Detroit, for God's sake!" says Hagar. "He can play the hell out of funk, but he's a rocker. He plays hard, man. You could put one mic in a room with Chad, and you can hear all the parts of his kit - - he's hard, but he's balanced. The band wouldn't exist without his groove." The members of Chickenfoot admit that the band came together almost by accident, a result of jams held at Hagar's club, Cabo Wabo Cantina, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
"We were just having fun," recalls Michael Anthony. "After Sammy and I left Van Halen, we'd get together with musicians, and certain people seemed to really gel. Chad came down and we got on well with him. Gradually, we started talking about doing something more serious, but we needed a guitarist. Somebody smokin' - somebody who could take us to the Promised Land." Enter Satch, who hooked up with Hagar, Anthony and Smith and felt "an immediate connection unlike anything I'd ever experienced before." To Satriani, who had almost abandoned his lifelong dream of being a part of a "big-time rock band," here was his chance, and here were his band mates. "After just a few songs, it became stunningly obvious that we shared an overall musical agenda. The only question was could we make a great album?"
The band answered that question last fall when they hunkered down with the illustrious producer Andy Johns at George Lucas' Skywalker Studios and knocked out a batch of songs that sets a new standard for rock music in the new millennium. From the thunderous, ominous opening strains of Avenida Revolution (detailing the bloody drug wars in Tijuana, in which Hagar makes his feelings come through his skin) to the album closer, the shimmering rock ballad Future's in the Past, "Chickenfoot" is a firebomb of a record, the likes of which we haven't heard in ages. The band kicks and snorts their way through a passel of take-no-prisoners rockers like Soap on a Rope, Sexy Little Thing, Oh Yeah and My Kind of Girl.
"These are the kinds of songs I could never do on my own," says Satriani, "I needed a band like this to make those songs come alive." The band explores mature themes on songs such as Runnin' Out, about a world stretched to the breaking point to Learning to Fall, perhaps the most poignant love song Hagar has ever written lyrics for. As both a vocalist and songwriter, Hagar's intensity and forcefulness are on vivid display on "Chickenfoot". "I write what comes to mind," the singer says. "I'm not bound by anything subject-wise. I'm inspired by the music. When I heard the music Joe was going for, it made me reach, it made me stretch. I think it made me sing in a way that I normally wouldn't have done. We seem to have that kind of effect on each other."
Satriani agrees. "People have this idea of what this band is about, or what Sammy Hagar is about as a lyricist and a vocalist. The thing is that we manage to get each guy to up his game in a non-confrontational way. When I play with Chickenfoot, I find myself wanting to give them more all the time. I don't hold anything back. I think the rest of the guys feel the same way."
That Satriani unleashes sheets of shred magna is, of course, a given, but what's interesting is, as individualistic and recognizable as his talents are - - and this is true of all the players - - they transform in a strange and beautiful way on "Chickenfoot".
Likewise, Anthony and Smith, channel past heroes. For Anthony it's Electric Flag bassist Harvey Brooks. For Smith it's Zeppelin's John Bonham. Together, they perform something of an astonishing balancing act, dispending performances that meet at the intersection of Heavy and Nimble. This is what a rhythm section does, drives the band in forceful, creative ways. Listen to Chickenfoot and you'll hear what a true rhythm section sounds like.
By the way, did we mention they have a weird name? |
