On November 1, 2009, Chickenfoot, the rock supergroup comprised of guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, and Van Halen front man Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, will release a Deluxe Limited Edition of their eponymous debut album, recently certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America with over 500,000 in album shipments. The album will be exclusively released through Best Buy and is available for pre-sale now at bestbuy.com/chickenfoot.
Chickenfoot’s Deluxe Limited Edition will feature a reverse design from that which was featured on their self-titled debut. The original black album artwork was printed with heat sensitive ink and the new design will feature a white background printed with flourescent ink. In addition, the package will include one bonus track, ”Bitten by the Wolf,” and a bonus DVD containing an hour of behind the scenes footage of the band, music videos, interviews and concert footage from their European and U.S. tours. It will be available initially for a sale price of $9.99, exclusively through Best Buy.
Chickenfoot just completed a 30-city cross-country U.S. tour in support of their debut album. The band made their first ever TV performing appearance during the first week of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on Friday, June 5. The self-titled debut is a hard rock album that sets the standard for rock music. “The album is an 11-song slab of raging rock,” says writer Joe Bosso of Guitar World magazine. Chickenfoot is produced by Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones) and mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica). The band’s first single, “Oh Yeah,” has been embraced by radio. It has proven to be a true multi-format smash, topping both the mainstream and classic rock charts at #1, as well as charting in active rock.
