Chickenfoot Drummer Kenny Aronoff Talks About Playing with Some of Rock’s Biggest Names
For this writer, seeing legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, Smashing Pumpkins, Bob Seger, etc.) live for the first time with Chickenfoot in 2011 -- at a special club show at the Metro in Chicago, no less -- was an experience that personally was on par with seeing bassist Nathan East (to use one example) playing with Eric Clapton in the ‘90s.
As Chickenfoot launches a new leg of U.S. tour dates, the opportunity arose to talk with Aronoff and we couldn’t resist digging into several topics.
