Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
Do you occasionally feel the need for PROPER ROCK?, that’s rock played by time served veterans, namely Chad Smith, drums, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Michael Anthony, bass, ex Van Halen , Sammy Hagar, vocals, also ex Van Halen and Montrose, and virtuoso master of the ugly squealing electric guitar, Joe Satriani.
Do you want an album whose contents sound like Poison mugging AC/DC on a Santa Monica boulevard cica 1989?, an album that is so cliche ridden that the vocalist is heard to scream alot about ‘lurve’ and ‘hoochie coochie men’... (wot, no references to being your ‘back door man’?...you missed that one lads).
Do you need to hear tunes that contain 142,937 guitar notes in 14 seconds and not one of those notes conveys any emotion? ...at all… (apart from ‘can I have my cheque now please’?) then this PROPER ROCK album is for you.
PROPER ROCK has been trying to get out of its lead lined coffin for years now (quick lads , more nails) and here’s the latest attempt at ressurecting the hoary old monster. It’s awful, and the sight of four grown men ‘rocking out’ pretending that they can remember what sex is (and more importantly how many times they can still do it) when they would be better off staying at home, looking after the grandkids or pottering about on their allotments is something no one should have to experience…they even include the obligatory sensitive rock ballad, cue ‘Learning To Fall’...aaaaarrrrggghhhh!!
