Chickenfoot Hits The Big Screen

Rockers Chickenfoot will put their stamp on movie theaters throughout the US for a one-night-only showing of a concert film shot during the group's 2009 tour behind its self-titled debut.

Dubbed "Chickenfoot Live," the screening is set to take place at select theaters in 33 states on Dec. 1, and will be presented in full HD and 5.1 surround sound, according to Sony Digital Cinema Music Series. A list of specific theaters is available at the event's webpage.

Earlier this month, Chickenfoot - Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, formerly of Van Halen; guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani; and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith - released a deluxe edition of its gold-certified debut, which originally surfaced in June. The revamped version of the set features a bonus cut titled "Bitten By The Wolf," a DVD that houses an hour of new material, including videos for all 12 album tracks, as well as concert, rehearsal and studio footage. More information is available at the group's recently overhauled website.

Thanks for the report to Livedaily.com.

why?

[Pencil Man]

because

[mfergel]

I loved the album when it came out but the songs really aren't that strong.

[megaironpriest]

welcome to the age of supergroups my friends and enjoy your visit

[FRACTUREDx2]

most bands NEVER hit the big screen and this supergroup (which was formed earlier this year) gets it right up front. somethings wrong with this picture.

[Inhale.Breathe]

hopefully it comes here

[stondagain]

Tired, cliche'd "party rock". Yawn. Satriani should just accept the fact that he's not gonna make it in a band, he IS the band.

[Fry667]

Now I need to throw up. Supergroup, the worst invention ever.

[MasterExploder0]

I thought this type of shit was reserved for the Jonas Brothers lol.

I like some supergroups. Them Crooked Vultures is awesome, and Audioslave was pretty good...

[hunterm8]

hopefully they'll include back door slam's opening. if not then I'm not going

Checked

[hildesaw]

They should have it in IMAX so you can see the wrinkles all over Hagar's face. I hope its not as dumb as their music videos, but I don't think that is avoidable. Damn it Chickenfoot. You don't even nearly equal the sum of all of your parts.

[Lrn2play]

this is reminding me of moby grape

[Anne0807]

FYI They don't say they ARE a supergroup, but everyone just calls them that. So the Expectations are like REALLY high, So some people might be dissepointed because the expected something super super super awesome. But when they hear the CD they forget to really listen and then say Chickenfoot is not a super group But I still think they rock :P

Completely agree.
Chickenfoot just isn't a good enough to really make something like this. They only have 12 songs, and not all of them are good.

[Flying Afros]

They should have called it BLOOD OCEAN

[IDoCocaine]

Who cares what they do. More power to them.

[UnaLaguna]

Am I the only person who prefers Chickenfoot to TCV? TCV sounds dull and miserable to me, Chickenfoot at least had some life and fun in them.

Having said that, with the special edition album and now this, it does feel like they're rather milking the 'foot.

you know whats a supergroup???? LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN!!!!!

+ infinity. Dethklok rules.

[Monolisk]

Regardless of how good they are or not, are they really popular enough to do this? I get U2 and Miley Cyrus doing stuff like this, simply because they have a shipload of fans, but I don't know anyone who's heard of chickenfoot, and an even smaller group is people who care.

[pepsi1187]

it's obvious they're just trying to live out their led zeppelin fantasy. this isnt a surprise .. cause didn't LZ release a live concert in theaters?

There's nothing good about who Sammy Hagar is or what he does.

a super group means that all of the members were already famous before they joined this group. it doesn't mean they're superfantasticly good.

[xcrunner1]

The claymation movie "Chicken Foot", from the makers of Wallace & Gromit, will probably top this movie.

me too.. what are we talking about ??

[evilbeavil]

anyone else notice a possible metaphor with the name of the bonus track "Bitten By The Wolf" as maybe a reference to Van Halen's replacement of Michael Anthony with his song Wolfgang?

[sticknick]

They should have called this band Washed Up.

[garager]

proof that theyre in it for the money

Audioslave wasn't a supergroup; they were a band that got a new singer, not an amalgamation of musicians known from other bands.

I keep hearing this from people: Not the idea that Chickenfoot is better, but the comparison of one supergroup to another, regardless of genre or musical style... Why lump them all together..?

All that being said: "Yes."

I hope the live performance invokes something more spectacular than the performance on the record, or I will probably have lost all faith that this is anything more than a B.S. cash grab.

[Black Label93]

I met them all backstage, really fun group of guys. Concert was spectacular. And quite frankly, they have earned the god damn right to do what they please. None of you guys would ever turn down this kind of thing anyway. And no. I don't think they're in it for the money, they all have prolly made a good enough of a living to retire. They're just doing what they love.

And Dave Matthews is also doing the same thing, just saying.

Take that back. Transatlantic. >

[jcarrig]

i like the idea of live performances in theatres, beats watching the dvd.. don't really care for this group though

And the singer was Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. I dunno, I'd say they were a bit supergroupy.

[Kapalen]

I like them, but i wanna point out to people saying they arent popular enough. Most of their fans are old guys in their 40s, so they may not be popular among your teenage friends but they're popular among the people who have lots of disposable income. that's why they're doing this.

+1, I was happily surprised to see them open up for chickenfoot when I saw them. I saw Davey Knowles as a solo acoustic act when he opened for Jeff Beck. Now Back Door Slam needs to be their own major act and have other people open for them. They are very good.
