Chickenfoot Get Retrospective in ‘Something Going Wrong’ – Premiere
It’s only been four and a half years since Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith joined forces to create Chickenfoot, but the rock supergroup has just re-released their debut album Chickenfoot in a new deluxe edition. In this video for “Something Going Wrong,” the band offers a revealing retrospective of their short time together, splicing together studio cuts, live footage and candid shots of the musicians goofing around together like true friends do. With such good vibes, Chickenfoot usually find themselves in a warm place, but there were more esoteric elements at work with “Something Going Wrong.”
“Normally, I write positive lyrics, but when Joe brought me the music it was spooky,” Hagar tells Rolling Stone. “So, I just wrote about what I saw around me in the present and tied it into the four elements: earth, air, fire and water in what we call a solar year, or a 2,000 year cycle.”
