"CHICKENFOOT III"
was produced by Mike Fraser features an elaborately designed 3D package
with optical illusions and special codes giving fans a fully immersed
creative Chickenfoot experience, creating a spectacle with spectacles.
With special “3D optical enhancers,” otherwise known as
old-skool 3D glasses that come with each package, the cover and inside
photos feature artwork that trick the eye by looking through the two
different red and blue lenses of the glasses. Having used a special
state-of-the-art 3D camera rig to create the designs, CHICKENFOOT
gives fans a truly multi-dimensional experience throughout the
packaging that also offers a 3D photo of each band member with stats and
Q&As, QR codes for behind the scenes 3D video content from the
photoshoot on smartphones and much more. A look through the red lens
even reveals a very special message on the CD itself.
The first single, “Big Foot,”
debuted at #1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock Chart holding the position
for seven weeks and earning over 1.85 million listeners and continues to
receive critical acclaim:
“‘Big Foot’ is sinewy, muscular and abundantly familiar – but in a good way. As Hagar sings, ‘that s*** rocks.’” – Billboard Magazine.
"Chickenfoot light a fire under rock 'n' roll's collective ass,
setting the pace for the genre as a whole. Chickenfoot III melds
monstrous grooves and virtuoso playing in one of the year's best rock
records," writes Rick Florino of ARTISTdirect.com.
In support of the album, Hagar will be the special guest of the week on VH1’s That Metal Show
debuting on Saturday, September 24th and throughout the week. On the
big screen, Satriani has a cameo in this weekend’s hotly anticipated big
screen feature Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt.
"CHICKENFOOT III"
features 10 tracks with so many moments of epiphany that one can barely
take them all in on first listen. Colossal, stadium-shaking riffs
abound on earth-movers such as “Alright, Alright,” “Last Temptation” and “Lighten Up.” Tradition meets innovation on the Nashville pop-tinged “Different Devil,” the Delta-blues flavored “Something Going Wrong” and the aching rock ballad “Come Closer.” Special video releases and more can be seen at the band’s webpage
, as well as their podcast, YouTube, Facebook and Google+ pages.
Chickenfoot III follows the band’s 2009 debut album, which debuted at #3
on the Billboard Top 100 and was certified gold for sales of over
500,000 units by the Recording Industry Association of America.
