Super Groups that Dont Suck...

batreleaser · 05.12.2008, 12:05 PM

Supergroups are often very lame, lets discuss ones who are oh so un-lame...

Naked City (duh): Zorn, Eye, Bill Frissel, Frith, Wayne Horvitz, Joey Baron. Easily the most awesomest supergroup ever, definitley made way more (amazing) records than most of them

Yona Kit: Jim O'Rourke, KK Null, Darin Gray of the Dazzling Killmen, and Thymme Jones of Cheer Accident. These guys were basically like a skin graft all star team, if anyone hasnt heard them i suggest they do so right away, really agressive, super intricate math rock.

Fantomas: Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, Trevor Dunn, and ol' Buzz. Some people would argue these guys suck and directors cut is their only good record, I disaree, I like all their records, I just like how the music is so much different and weird than any of the members' main bands. I mean the drummer from Slayer is playin with these guys, who is my favorite drummer by the way.

Painkiller: Zorn, Bill Laswell, Mick Harris. People prolly dont realize how influential these guys were. I mean in 91, not many bands were mixing Grindcore and Free Jazz so seamlessly, now tons of grindcore bands have the free jazz influences.

Massacre/Skeleton Crew: Fred Frith has an incredible knack for putting a shitload of ridiculously talented musicians in a room together and somehow making it work with incredible results.

ok everybody, lets add to this list.

boredoms is basically a super group if you look at all the amazing projects all their members have done separately.

Rob Instigator · 05.12.2008, 01:13 PM

to be a super group, the members have to come from super bands, not bands that you like, or bands that are innovative, but previously succesful and known acts.

a true supergruop is wone where all the members are FAMOUS,

the traveling wilbury's, for all their suck, were a supergroup.

Fatomas, is just a bunch of dudes who played in previous bands (mike patton the only "famous" one). by that definition sonic youth is a supergroup, with members of the crucifucks, Branca's guitar orchestra, The Coachmen, The Arcadians, and CKM

velvet revolver, for all their suck, are a supergroup

everyone else mentioned on here is just bands, dude. just bands.

:P
