"'III' is a work of art from start to finish ... the rock album of 2011"
- Fireworks Magazine (UK)

Produced by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica), Chickenfoot III was co-released worldwide on Tuesday September 27th in exclusive and never-before-seen 3D packaging to critical acclaim. The album is released in the UK and Europe by Edel’s international rock and pop label, earMUSIC (www.ear-music.net).

“I am very proud of the new album,” says lead singer Sammy Hagar. “We called it Chickenfoot III because it's so good, and the songs are so tight, that it's like we jumped right past having to make a second record.” He adds, “We’ve established a real trust, Joe and I, we are truly bring out the best in one another, and that spreads to the whole band.”

"Chest beating, man-sized heavy rock... One bad-ass supergroup."

Chickenfoot’s 2009 eponymous debut album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album reached #3 on Billboard’s Top Selling Independent albums of 2009, and #88 in the overall Top-selling 200 Albums of 2009.

Upon release, “Chickenfoot” charted inside the top 20 in Japan and almost every country in Europe (UK, Germany, Switzerland, Benelux). The album charted inside the top 40 in virtually every other country in the world and has been certified Gold by Impala for sales generated in Europe. Chickenfoot were named “Best New Band” at the Classic Rock Magazine awards ceremony in London, 2009.

As “Chickenfoot” did in 2009, “III” has gone straight into the top-10 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, and is currently inside the top-20 right across Europe after a few days on the market.

"Chickenfoot III is likely to be the best Rock album of the year."

UK release of Chickenfoot’s highly anticipated second album “III” - new video - coming Oct 24th

To coincide with the UK release of Chickenfoot’s highly anticipated second album “III” (Oct 24th) and the recent announcement of two UK concerts in January 2012, this week the band have released a new video for the single “Three and a Half Letters”.

Featuring guitar hero Joe Satriani, former Van Halen vocalist Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, and drummer Chad Smith; “Three and a Half Letters” is the second single to be taken from the band’s new album. The song’s poignant lyrics tackle the world’s economy and current levels of unemployment. The lyrics are taken directly from letters written to Sammy Hagar, following a suggestion from his long standing manager, Carter, who sadly passed away earlier this year during the recording of the new album.

“I've received letters from lots of people, mostly fans, but some people just needing help, looking for work,” says Hagar. “Carter had told me to write a song called ‘I Need a Job’ six months prior but the idea didn't dawn on me until I received a letter from a guy who had just returned from Afghanistan. At the end of his letter he wrote – ‘Can you help? I need a job’."

Chickenfoot will perform two UK concerts in January 2012 as part of a 5-date European tour; dates include Manchester Academy (Jan 12) and London’s O2 Academy Brixton on (Jan 14), followed by concerts in Paris, Tilburg and Dusseldorf. These are the band’s first European shows since July 2009, and will see them perform songs from their gold-selling eponymous debut album, alongside tracks from the new album ‘III’. Tickets are available from – http://bit.ly/qs8Srm.
