Sad news for fans who have been waiting for Chickenfoot to reunite
In a new interview with Andrew Catania for All That Shreds, Joe Satriani was asked about Chickenfoot.
He said:
“I stopped asking everyone. I felt Chickenfoot had a couple of albums [and] world tours left. I loved my time in the band, but I think there will be no more Chickenfoot.”
Further asked about his artistic expression, he said:
“I try my best. It’s that drive that is difficult to put into words. I don’t try to understand it that much, but I just want to do something different, to break down any internal artistic and make myself uncomfortable so that I have to try harder to get the music out.
It’s traumatic. It’s cathartic, I probably drive my family crazy during the periods where I’m trying to do something new, but I feel super fortunate, as you pointed out, I have the label, the people at Sony, for supporting me and never getting in my way. They never say don’t, and every time I come up with a crazy idea, they just say, how can we help? So it’s been a great relationship.”
