Chickenfoot

An American hard rock supergroup that includes two former members of Van Halen — vocalist Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Regarding the group's status as a "supergroup," Sammy Hagar said: "We are not a supergroup, we like hanging out together, and the music is a bonus to that." Michael Anthony said that the group's name came from a jam in which he, Sammy Hagar, and Chad Smith participated. When rumors about the group began to spread, everyone started calling the group that, and so we thought: "Well, why not? Let's be Chickenfoot."
