CHICKENFOOT NUMBER THREE, IT'S REALLY NUMBER TWO, AVAILABLE NOW ON VINYL ALL YOU AUSSIE CD ADDICTS




Well it had to happen sooner or later, Timbo has decided to go back to vinyl, and give compact discs the boot. 

My very first installment in the 'new' vinyl collection starting now in the year 2011 is the new Chickenfoot LP, titled CHICKENFOOT 3.

Sorry cant do roman numerals here, a supergroup from America whose self titled debut was released going back two and a bit years ago. 

Legendary virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani, former Van Halen bass guitarist Michael Anthony, one time VH and Montrose vocal-
ist Sammy Hagar and the Chilli Pepper drummer Chad Smith whip up an unlikely blues rock inspired chemistry that has made it perfectly onto record and stage.

I have not even opened up the record yet, it is still sealed in plastic, but the ten song titles appear to point the album in the same direction as their first effort. 

DUBAI BLUES sounds interesting, I could be
disappointed but maybe Chickenfoot have applied a little middle eastern aroma to the sound of this song, then again it may sound just like KISS for all I know (laugh).

DIFFERENT DEVIL sounds a bit devilish, figure that out, BIG FOOT puts a picture in my brain about King Kong, SOMETHING GOING WRONG reminds me of about 50 women I could have had but who gave me the flick pass out of dummy half over the decades, and LAST TEMPTATION makes me consider if I will ever get the chance to have a romantic evening with Jennifer Hawkins while 'Jake' has the Backyard Blitz team give his backyard a makeover (laugh).

I wish and dream on should be my motto there. Anyhow, Chickenfoot are a great rock band, as good as any retro-inspired band around these days, if it's like their debut album it will be a classic Led-Zeppelin like affair with a lot of punctuations in dynamics and some exuberant drumming especially from Chad Smith.

And remember Australians, compact discs
are mostly all inferior quality these days,
the big record companies are intentionally making them that way so they dont last more than five to ten years, the best advice I can offer is go back to vinyl, look after your albums, clean them regularly and dont scratch them with the needle and enjoy many years of listening enjoyment as your reward.
