Chickenfoot paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Los Angeles the other night to perform two songs from their recently released second album, Chickenfoot III. You can check out videos of the band playing Three And A Half Letters (above) and Big Foot (below).
With touring drummer Kenny Aronoff sitting in for Chad Smith (who is tending to his "day job" with a little outfit called the Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chickenfoot, which also includes guitar star Joe Satriani, singer Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, are finishing up a "Road Test" series of US shows.
In January, the band will hit Europe for a quick, six-date run. It is expected that more extensive touring will take place in 2012.
Recently, Joe Satriani sat down with MusicRadar for an exclusive, track-by-track walkthrough of Chickenfoot III. You can read his descriptions of each song right here.

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
