Formed in 2008, the hard-rocking "supergroup"
Chickenfoot features the talents of vocalist
Sammy Hagar (
Van Halen,
Montrose), bass player
Michael Anthony (
Van Halen), drummer
Chad Smith (
Red Hot Chili Peppers), and guitar virtuoso
Joe Satriani. Formed out of a series of impromptu jams at
Hagar's club, Cabo Wabo Cantina, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the band made its live debut at a 2008
Hagar solo show in Las Vegas before deciding to take its signature blend of high-energy rock & roll, funk, blues, and roots rock into the studio.
Chickenfoot released its eponymous debut album in 2009, followed by a worldwide tour. The live, Get Your Buzz On DVD arrived in 2010, followed by the band's second studio album, Chickenfoot III, in 2011.
