best super groups

[jnevi9nr]

Bands that came together from successful other bands, such as atoms for peace with Thom Yorke from radiohead and flea from rhcp. Please include cd or dvd that showcases them. Another example would be rage against the machine minus lead singer and singer from soundgarden.

Cool concept. First one I thought of was Bad Company with members from Free, King Crimson and Mott the Hoople. The albums Bad Company and Straight Shooter come to mind.

Blind Faith (Cream + Traffic)
Pigface (Everyone + Their Mothers)

Also, has anyone else thought that since the bass player and drummer are all that's left from the Beatles, and the guitar player and singer of the Who is all that's left of that group -- that there should be "The Whotles"?

I saw something on dvd with steve gadd, marcus miller and clapton.

Traveling Wilburys (Tom Petty, Harrison from Beatles, Orbison, Dylan, nuff said..)

I though Traffic was a bit later...maybe not.
Cream was a supergroup (John Mayall Bluesbreakers + Graham Bond Organisation...the 3 guys were considered highly enough on their own...that's why they were called CREAM!).


Led Zeppelin was almost Moon/Entwistle + Page/Plant.

Captain Beyond (Deep Purple + Johnny Winter And + Iron Butterfly)

Here's more-
Supergroup (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Journey, CSN&Y, UK, ELP, Asia, Humble Pie, Ginger Baker's Air Force, etc.

I was thinking Weather Report & Return To Forever in the Jazz Fusion realm.

Army of Anyone

The DeLeo brothers, the singer from Filter and a sick session drummer

[N.F.A.]

Cactus - Musicians from Vanilla Fudge, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and the Amboy Dukes. . Check out the bass part on Evil. It's one of my favorites to play.

This one kicks kister too. It's their version of Parchman Farm

[Phendyr_Loon]

Jeff Beck Group.

The Dillinger Escape Plan (Mike Parton era).

And I suppose you could call the Foo Fighters a supergroup, The Germs/Nirvana/Sunny Day Real Estate combo works.

GTR


Just kidding.

[BluesMan1]

- Temple of the Dog
- Mad Season

Liquid Tension Experiment ~
John Petrucci
Jordan Rudess
Mike Portnoy
Tony Levin

Them Crooked Vultures.

Hands down my favourite supergroup. Dave Grohl, JPJ and Josh Homme. Really doesn't get much better than that. I saw them live and I felt like I was watching giants.

[TBAR Shane]

Obscura
Jeroen Paul Thesseling from Pestilence
Christian Meissner and Hannes Grossman from Necrophagist

Not two commercially successful bands, but very big in the metal community.

[Hoover]

"best"? imho none of them. The entire concept is fraught with problems: ego, expectation, hierarchy (or lack thereof), misguided direction/goals...

But on paper, lots of 'em seemed like a good idea!

My personal favorite (conceptually, not in actual practice) was XYZ: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Chris Squire & Alan White.

[abstractart06]

Buffalo Springfield - Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Jim Messina

CSNY

Return to Forever - Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Al DeMeola

Weather Report - Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Jaco, Manolo Badrena, Airto, Alphonso Johnson, N,Dugu Chancelor

[mam1862]

Asia had four strong musicians. The debut album was solid from beginning to end.

+1 for Them Crooked Vultures. They have put out some amazing stuff, I would love to see them live.

Black Country Communion

Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Derek Sherinian, and Joe Bonamassa.

Actually an eclectic bunch imo. Glenn Hughes is awesome; but neither him nor Roger glover are better than one another. Joe Bonamassa one of the greatest sixers. Derek Sherinian certainly a world class key guy, just google him. Bonham. nuff said.
