CHICKENFOOT Bassist Interviewed At 'Mark And Brian Christmas Show' (Video)

December 22, 2011

CHICKENFOOT performed at this year's Mark And Brian Christmas Show on December 15 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Singer Sammy Hagar kicked things off with a rousing rendition of "Santa's Going South For Christmas" with the MARK AND BRIAN ALL-STAR BAND. Guitarist Joe Satriani later teamed up with the ALL-STAR BAND to perform "Satch Boogie" before Sammy and bassst Michael Anthony took the stage to play "Poundcake" and "I Can't Drive 55". CHICKENFOOT then hit the stage together, performing a four-song set that had the crowd at the sold-out theater on its feet and pumping its fists.

A pre-show interview with Anthony conducted by KLOS rock reporter Sal Cirrincione can be seen below.

As top-rated syndicated morning show personalities, Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps of the Los Angeles-based "Mark And Brian Show" entertain audiences live with their dauntless comedy weekday mornings from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

CHICKENFOOT's sophomore album, "III", sold 42,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 9 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's self-titled debut opened with 49,000 units back in June 2009 to debut at No. 6.

"III" was produced by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, METALLICA) and is the much-anticipated follow-up album to the successful eponymous debut of a rock band packed with successful veterans.

Featuring guitar hero Joe Satriani and former VAN HALEN members Michael Anthony (bass) and Sammy Hagar (vocals),CHICKENFOOT's touring lineup includes legendary drummer/musician Kenny Aronoff, who is filling in for Chad Smith while Smith hits the road with his main band, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.
