I have made maybe 10 threads in my time here at the Sherdogs. One of those threads covered this subject many years ago. I spent about 10 minutes trying to dial it up. I promise. Coouldn't find it.
Supergroups are those bands that consist of musicians that don't typically perform or record with one another. Some of them are our wettest dreams come true, some of them are...well...not. A couple of the best I found over the years were:
Oysterhead was an alternative rocksupergroup featuring bassist Les Claypool of Primus, guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish and drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police.
and
The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan,George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty.
Another was the lesser known
Class of '99 was a short-term alternative rock supergroup consisting of members from notable rock bands: Layne Staley of Alice in Chains as the vocalist, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine as lead guitarist, Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction as the drummer, and Martyn LeNoble of Porno for Pyros as bass guitarist. They also had the help of Matt Serletic on keyboards.
There are many, many more. Some of these bands are responsible for some of the greatest singles, albums and tours in the history of the music business.
Let's celebrate the good and the bad here, eh?
