Lets put the 'Super' into Supergroup

**taffy2** · March 18th, 2012, 03:48 PM

I've been checking out a few so called supergroups and I've come to the conclusion that most of them flat out suck.

So here's our chance to put it right.

Who would you have in your supergroup(s)?

Whats the band name and what type of music do they play?

Here's mine:-

Ethan Miller - Howlin' Wolf - Vocals
Joe Bonamassa Black Country Communion Guitar
Mark Tremonti Alter Bridge Lead/Rhythm Guitar, backing vocals
Dave Chavarri Ill Nino - Drums
Anthony Buda Revocation - Bass

Rock / Blues Band

Band name : I suck at band names

**tygrkhat40** · March 18th, 2012, 08:23 PM

Vocals: Freddie Mercury, Queen
Guitar: Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix Experience and Duane Allman, Allman Brothers
Bass: John Entwistle, the Who
Drums: John Bonham, Led Zeppelin
Saxophone: Clarence Clemons, the E Street Band

In addition, Jimi and the Ox can supply vocals and Freddie can sit down at the piano.

Genre: Straight up kick-ass rock and roll
Band Name: Rock and Roll Heaven, 'cause that's where they all are now.

Hey Folks.

Surely you do not need to go to all that trouble. There has only ever been one "Supergroup" and they were The Beatles.

You will make your choices folks but "Hey" the world in the 60's made theirs.

No one has come close since. Even with your "fantasy" groups.

Good point

Mind you, they'd have been even better with John Foxx on synths

The problem with the "super groups" listed is that most of the musicians included had such different styles that they would not have made it past the first chorus.

**karloschaos** · March 18th, 2012, 11:29 PM

Natalie Merchant - Vocals
Harvey Bainbridge - Synths
Dave Brock - Rhythm Guitar
Phil Rudd - Drums
Frank Zappa - Lead Guitar
Me - Bass
