Guest kingkamala Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Out of all the super groups ever assembled most have been mediocre and dissapointments, but some have sucked the meat missle. I think the worst supergroup of all time is Damn Yankees featuring Tommy Shaw of Styx, Ted Nugent, the singer of Night Ranger and some other guy. They totally wasted the Nuge and were just another shitty generic pop band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kingkamala Report post Posted July 25, 2003 What about that band that had Scott Weiland of STP and some members of GNR that did a song for the Hulk soundtrack. I've only heard one song and it's not as bad as "High Enough"(Damn Yankees signature song). And I for one think Audioslave is decent. A major dissapointment? Maybe but not the worst supergroup by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 25, 2003 I like Audioslaves two videos but prefer "Like a Stone" better than "Coochise". Was never a fan of the Wu-Tang as the rap supergroup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I suppose Superjoint Ritual could be called a "metal supergroup"...and they're god awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steviekick Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Audioslave is just awful. I saw them at Lollapalooza this past Tues, and they were incredibly horrible. The crowd was dead. Cornell tried sucking up to the NJ crowd by playing a Bruce Springsteen song...he got booed. The only song thatgot the crowd excited was their cover of the White Stripes' "7 Yr Army"...then the crowd died after they played their next song. I suppose Superjoint Ritual could be called a "metal supergroup"...and they're god awful I don't find them to be that bad. They're no Down, but they're good for what they are. Was never a fan of the Wu-Tang as the rap supergroup. They were never really a supergroup. They kind of got supergroup status after they started putting out solo albums.

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I'm unsure if they meet "supergroup" status, but Oysterhead (w/ Les Claypool, Stuart Copeland and Trey Anastacio) was amazingly bad for a band with three really, really talented musicians. Just utter crap in musical form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Wow...I like both Audioslave AND Oysterhead...Oysterhead's better than Phish, anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I burned a bunch of the Oysterhead songs after they played that show in N.O. and didn't dislike them, but then made the mistake of seeing them when they played in Lowell. I was so bored, it wasn't even funny. I was pretty depressed, I'm a former-Phish fan and a former-Primus fan, and still consider the Police to be a really good band. The three just didn't click live, at least for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I don't really think Oysterhead are that bad. True, the album is rather boring, but it's not outright bad, like Audioslave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Blind Faith was an awful supergroup. Clapton's next attempt, Derek and the Dominoes, worked out much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Ehh, I thought that Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs was a terrible album, and the Dominos were much worse than Blind Faith. Although I'll grant that neither one was that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 26, 2003 All bias aside, Oysterhead is really goddamn good. Their album reminds me a lot of Antipop, only mellower. I utterly despise Phish, but Anastasio does some really good, really catchy riffs on the album that vary from his usual meandering jam garbage that starts nowhere and goes nowhere. It doesn't knock me out of my seat or anything, but it's a damn good little rock album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 26, 2003 As far as other supergroups go, the worst one I can think of offhand is Temple Of the Dog. "Hunger Strike" is one of the most annoying, shittiest singles of the 90's. The best one is easily Down, featuring various swamp metal creatures and Phil Anselmo doing a Sabbath-esque take on things. The first album is, in my book, the best metal cd of its decade. Put it in, hit play, and it absolutely kicks ass from beginning to end. Great, interesting metal riffs that don't go overboard into technicality, or sink to aimless chugging, excellent vocals to match the music, with great lyrics, fantastic solos, and a thundering rhythm section, just like early Black Sabbath. Nola is an absolute masterpiece that literally anyone with an interest in hard rock or metal needs to have. I should also mention the fantastic slow songs on the second half of the cd, ending on one of the coolest grooves to end any cd. Down II, while still solid, is quite different from the first, and reminds more of Deep Purple than the first one does. It's a good little album, but it's evident they didn't even attempt to top the first cd, but to try to do so is madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Does Bad Company count as a supergroup? Because they blew, too. And I agree about Down. Nola is good shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kingkamala Report post Posted July 26, 2003 Does Bad Company count as a supergroup? Because they blew, too. Yes and don't knock Bad Co. god dammit! They're the original supergroup Jimmy Page's stint with the Black Crows wasn't bad but they should have done more stuff together instead of just performing Led Zeppelin covers live. EDIT: Come to think of it Page or Plant hasn't done anything really good since Zeppelin broke up, everything they do ranges from crappola to good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 27, 2003 To clarify, Bad Company consisted of Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke of Free, Boz Burrel of King Crimson and Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople. I actually like Bad Company and you could make a case for them as the most succesful super group of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
