I'm penning a feature on rock collaborations, supergroups, projects etc. The criteria for entry is: involved artists must have been members of established acts prior to forming the project, it can't be named after one of the band members, and only one entry per act.

 

As with any such feature, my inclusions are going to based on what I personally rate, and while I can see an argument for certain acts, if I'm not personally a fan then they'll not make it - no surprise I guess!

 

So far I have:

 

- Coverdale•Page

 

- The Winery Dogs (debut)

 

- KXM (debut - but I'll choose for sure upon hearing album #2)

 

- W.E.T. (Rise Up)

 

- Chickenfoot (debut)

 

- Revolution Saints

 

I'm looking for another three, plus a stinker (Contraband?).

 

Suggestions please - obscure choices welcome (as long as it's had a proper release).

Some great replies so far, thank you.

 

I've just been thinking about Flesh & Blood actually. I'm thinking about including the 2013 reissue of War & Peace's 'The Flesh & Blood Sessions' - I guess we can consider it a project?

No one mentioned Bad English?

 

Just an observation, and to each their own... is it just me, or do 90% of these projects suck balls? In general I've never really been a big fan of these projects, and perhaps this thread suggests why.

 

I love Bad English, Shadow King, Westworld, WET & The Storm, and The Revolution Saints album was good too. But aside from that... the rest of them? Just, yuck.

 

Oh, and I did like Contraband too. Not loved it, but it was a cool album.

Surely Temple of the Dog wasn't a supergroup as none of the members had broken through at that time?

How far do you want to go back and how wide?

Cream , Humble Pie and many more of that period.

 

Then you can move on to Powerstation and The Firm.

 

GTR. Mike and the Mechanics?

 

Mr Big. Badlands. Slash's Snakepit.

Good call on Mr Big. Curious call on Slash's Snakepit. I didn't realise anyone else in that band was anyone.

Missing one of the best supergroups ever - House of Lords!

 

If you add artists who hire help you could go on forever eg.

David Lee Roth - Vai etc.

Van Halen

Whitesnake - Sykes, Vandenberg, Vai and so on.

Vince Neil - Steve Stevens

Jeez, HOL is a bit of a stretch isn't it? Giuffria was probably the "biggest" name, but even he you'd hardly consider a celebrity before that band was formed (or after?)

the more recent ones are generally better

 

Defiants last year and coming up we have Tokyo Motor Fist which will be cool............ammunition is also a supergroup in a way.

 

Although, I would say that the Allen/Lande and Damn Yankee debuts are very good.

Oh yeah, missed Allen/Lande - they are generally quite good albums. Damn Yankees had four good songs on two albums, imo. Not great odds. ;)

2nd album is shite imo but at least half of the debut is excellent

All you need is their Best Of, and even that gets a bunch of skipped tracks.

How about Ayreon? Although the lynchpin is one guy, the albums have featured some pretty stellar* talent?

 

*Geoff will probably disagree ...

      Nationwide - new band from Sweden

      Safe, but a nice song.  Did they name their band after a random HEAT song?

      No Resolve - Bye Bye Bye (rock cover)

      By Geoff · Posted

      Really good band, but haven't heard from them in an absolute age. Shame if all they're doing is a few covers.  The 'Bye bye bye' cover is killer.  'I want it that way' is a great song anyway, but their version is gold. Love that.  But just to prove you can't polish a dog turd, no one could make 'Thriller' sound listenable to me.  Amplified even more with 'Believer.' No Imagine Dragons song should ever be covered or allowed to be acknowledged that it was even actually recorded. Horrendous band and I hate the cover only a tiny bit less than the original, which is a tonne.

      Doesn't do much for me. Not sure it's any better than what I've heard from the new BJ album... but I guess it's not too bad. Wouldn't play it again, though.

      Motley Crue new single Dogs of war due 26th April

      By Geoff · Posted

      Bit 50/50 on it, myself. I prefer the stuff on Mick's solo album, but it's not a bad song. That kind of solo in a Motley song definitely sticks out... but not in a bad way. It's cool. I dig.

      7Th Heaven new box set

      By Geoff · Posted

      Did they actually break up? They were releasing albums annually and finally fixed up the production end but haven't heard from them for a while now. Always loved everything they released, personally.  Edit - yeah, 'Be Here' from 2020 seems to be the last album. Allegedly still active, but obviously no recent albums. Would love to hear them add to the discography.

      Alice Cooper - Breadcrumbs EP finally gets an international CD release with bonus tracks.

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan. It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks. One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single. https://townsendmusic.store/product/140275?lf=035f179d9c80928d2d3b155fa72b0731 Follow the breadcrumbs to a sonic treasure trove with Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" EP, which will be available on CD for the first time ever, featuring additional bonus tracks on this edition! Originally released in 2019 as a limited-edition 10" vinyl record, "Breadcrumbs" is a tribute to the garage rock heroes of Alice Cooper's hometown of Detroit. The EP features six tracks that showcase Cooper's raw and energetic take on classic Detroit tunes, including Suzi Quatro's "Your Mama Won't Like Me", Bob Seger's "East Side Story", and the MC5's "Sister Anne". It also includes the two additional bonus tracks "Don’t Give Up", conveying Cooper’s message of hope and perseverance to his fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a live version of "Go Man Go" from his electrifying set at Hellfest 2022. The album featured a star-studded lineup of Detroit musicians, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Johnny "Bee" Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels, and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. "Breadcrumbs" marked the beginning of Alice Cooper's homecoming, a journey that culminated in the critically acclaimed studio album "Detroit Stories", released in 2020. This EP served as a taste of Cooper's profound affection for his hometown's rich musical heritage, making it an essential addition for any devoted fan of the shock rock icon.   1. Detroit City 2020 2. Go Man Go 3. East Side Story 4. Your Mama Won't Like Me 5. Devil With A Blue Dress On / Chains Of Love 6. Sister Anne 7. Don't Give Up (Bonus Track) 8. Go Man Go (Live At Hellfest 2022) (Bonus Track)
