If you're looking for an album that rocks, look elsewhere. Like most everything that Hagar has had a hand in since being kicked out of VH, this is awful. Chickensh*t is more appropriate. I had high expectations for this album based on the lineup, but there is not much enjoyment to be had from this music. The lyrics are not good and the music does not go well with the singing. I really want to like this, and maybe it will grow on me, but the first couple of listens are atill leaving me scrathcing my head, wondering why a lineup with such promise puts out music thats so lifeless and all over the place.
What's great about it: Great Guitarist, Drummer & Bass Player

I just saw these guys Live in Seattle for their first Road Test Show in front of 800 crazy fans, and they just blew the doors off. They played all the songs on the Album, plus Bad Motor Scooter and some Deep Purple. I have never seen Satriani Live and he is just incredible, Sammy was awesome as well as Smith and Anthony. You do get a different flavor from Satriani vs Van Halen - I would say more complex guitar riffs, it will be great to hear all the subleties on the CD. Sammy's lyrics are Sammy's lyrics -not a whole lot new, either basic anthem or deep meanings. I definately recommend everyone to see them live - especially Satriani on a Rock stage...WOW!!!
What's great about it: These guys are the REAL deal

Just saw the Chicago show Friday and I can't wait for the CD to arrive. The biggest surprise was Chad Smith. I like the Chili Peppers music I hear on the radio, but I've never followed the band closely - this guy can tear up the drums like nobody's business. Sammy delivers his usual high energy vocals with a spirit that makes it hard to believe he's over 60. He even brings out an axe and jams with Joe a little, which was a real treat to watch. Michael Anthony not only displays his talent on the bass, but shows he is an integral part of this quartet with his backup vocals and stage presence. Then there is Satriani - one of the most amazing guitarists I've heard. Sammy is no slouch on the guitar, but when the two of them jam together Joe just tears him up. These guys truly have chemistry and you can tell it by the great time they have together on stage. Do not miss this album, and get to one of their shows if you have to sell a kidney to do so!
What's great about it: Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriana, Michael Anthony, Chad Smith - 'nuff said!

I am not the biggest fan of Sammy Hagar's solo work and I prefer David Lee Roth in Van Halen over Sammy Hagar! But Van Halen had some great music with Sammy Hagar too! This is a great hard rock CD! The songs are very well written and composed. The guitar work is amazing! The music has tremendous energy! The vocals nobody could ever guess if they didn't know that this is a guy over 60 years old! He could be 30 and you wouldn't know the difference! This CD may not get the credit or popularity it deserves perhaps because it's being released 10-15 years too late considering the state of the music industry today. Bands like this are out of fashion, especially since nobody has ever heard the name, only the players. Hopefully it will do well at best Buy and will catch on! It sure is worthy of it's release. This is a JAM!
What's great about it: Great songs, amazing guitar work, and vocals!

I said it before, Chickenfoot is the CD Van Halen fans have been waiting to hear since their Balance CD. Joe is at his best, Sammy sounds great, Chad and Mike finish off the drums and bass great. This CD is all Van Halen with bass. Joe riffs are what we have been yearning to hear from Eddie for years. My Favs, Sexy little Thing, Get it up, Down the drain, Avenida..... I can just go on and on... You wont be disappointed....

Amazing Guitar work, Screaming hot vocals, and some serious work on the bass and drums. Sammy, Joe, Michael, and Chad have exceeded expectations on this one. Awful band name, great music. Get It Up is my favorite on on this album. I loved all but maybe one song on the whole CD. I highly recommend this one.
What's great about it: Great price on the CD and on the Vinyl, great that the digital download comes with Vinyl
What's not so great: Digital download on vinyl not available until 6/9

I haven't bought a CD in over 4 years, but this one was well worth the purchase. This CD rocks, in a way that music use to rock but has taken a turn for the worse over recent years. Todays bands could learn from these guys, but I'm sure they won't. My next purchase, 2010, Van Halen's new studio CD!!!
What's great about it: Sammy with Michaels backing vocals, Awesome musically!
What's not so great: Lyrics are a bit blah, but you get over it quick
