Joe Satriani has been considering 'replacements' for Chad Smith in Chickenfoot

Thu, 07 Oct 2010

There has been speculation that Chad Smith may be too busy with the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album that he may not able to tour with Chickenfoot.

At the moment it's still unconfirmed if Chad Smith will be joining Chickenfoot in January when they return to the studio, but Joe Satriani believes that he will be, according a recent interview with Music Radar.

When thinking about the possible future without Chad Smith behind the drums for Chickenfoot Joe Satriani has a few replacements in mind, "Were Chad not able to be in the band because of the CHILI PEPPERS, I think it would be fun to get somebody really outrageous like Tommy Lee. He's a great drummer, a lot of fun and a crazy personality. We've had some guys sit in from time to time. Some names that have been thrown around are (Paul McCartney drummer) Abe Laboriel Jr. and Jason Bonham — they'd be really great." he tells the Pulse Of Radio.
