All Chickenfoot has is the instrumentals (
link to Amazon.com
). 'Cause the lyrics are completely worthless. I remember when Sammy
couldn't drive 55; his lyrics were kinda dumb then — but this is just flat-out banal. I recall hearing a live
recording of Hagar doing Van Halen's (and I make the distinction) "Panama"; the band vamped while Hagar
spewed profanity to the crowd. And the Alien Surfer Satriani has reduced himself to essentially copying
Eddie Van Halen's chops, short of hammer-ons. (So, thank Eddie for Chickenfoot's music.) Still, for as
putrid as this is, it's obvious these guys have been in the business long enough to know what sells...
apparently, this is it.
