Sammy said that since Chad Smith is working on the next Red Hot Chili Peppers album, he's gonna record the second Chickenfoot record and then he's going on the road with the Chili Peppers for a year and a half. Sammy said "Once they start recording, Chad’s never going to be able to get a break,” Hagar told Billboard.com on Sept. 1. “If he does, he’ll get a couple weeks here, a couple days there, which is not really enough to devote to Chickenfoot. And when they’re done with (the album) they’re gonna go on the road for a year and a half.
