"Different Devil" by Chickenfoot

The Sammy Hagar-fronted band Chickenfoot is a supergroup formed in 2008, pulling in the talents of Joe Satriani on guitar, ex-Van Halen partner Michael Anthony on bass and harmony vocals, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums. Their hotly anticipated self-titled debut peaked at an impressive #4 on the Billboard Top 200, but failed to win over many critics and didn't generate a charting single on the Billboard Top 100. 

But the buzz about the band helped maintain their success on the album chart, with their second record (called "Chickenfoot III") reaching #9 in 2011. In my opinion, the band's chemistry is better and more confident on the follow-up, and the stronger set of songs helped too. "Different Devil" is a great mid-tempo pop rocker with perfect harmony vocals from Anthony, making us nostalgic for those "Van-Hagar" days.
