Satriani Tired Of Waiting For Chickenfoot, Starting New Band

(Classic Rock) Joe Satriani has given up trying to bring Chickenfoot together for another album - and he's aiming to form another band instead. The guitarist says he's tried to persuade singer Sammy Hagar, bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Chad Smith to make a follow-up to their second title Chickenfoot III, released in 2011 - but he's had no luck.

He's decided it's over despite a brief reunion with Hagar and Smith at a charity concert last month. Satch tells UCR: "So there was the three of us - three Footers were there, gentlemen of the Foot hanging out. But I get the distinct feeling it's just not going to happen.

"For reasons that are too boring to go into, I've kind of giving up trying to be the instigator, of trying to get another record done. At the end of the benefit, although it was one of those fun things with being up there with Sammy and Chad again, I just got the feeling that they're not thinking it's on the cards."

He reveals that much of the material on solo album Shockwave Supernova, out in July, was originally designed to be Chickenfoot music. Read more here.
