Chickenfoot

Formed by the all-star rock team of Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith, Chickenfoot trade off the members' long careers, whether it's the interplay between former Van Halen cohorts Hagar and Anthony or the stinging whip guitar god Satriani lays on top of the solid rhythm section anchored by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Smith. The band has released two albums so far, with its self-titled debut climbing all the way to No. 4 on the chart in 2009. In addition to the two studio albums in their discography, Chickenfoot released a live album, 'LV,' in 2012.
