Friday Hair Metal: Pushin' Too Hard

I don't love the new Chickfoot album, but there are parts of it that I like.  In particular, I like the fact that it sounds, for large parts, like a Joe Satriani album rather than an album where Satriani is merely doing an impression of Eddie VanHalen.

This song is called Lighten Up, and it's my favorite cut off the new album.  This particular version is especially awesome because it focuses on Joe, and you can barely hear Sammy Hagar's inane lyrics.

If you get bored with the first half of the song, do yourself a favor and skip ahead to the 3-minute mark.  Starting there, Satriani blisters it for the rest of the clip.
