Mickalino Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Most supergroups have been flops. Have there been any, that you liked ? A few from the 80's I liked : The Firm : included Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page HSAS : included Sammy Hagar and Neil Schon (the band's acronym stands for Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve) GTR : included Steve Howe and Steve Hackett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 HSAS- Through the fire is an excellent 80s style rock album. Great cover of Whiter Shade of Pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that's very rare - where every single member is a "super" musician. Most "supergroups" are considered so, even for just having just 2 "super-musicians" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Million Dollar Quartet. Cash, Elvis, Perkins and Orbison. Also, if you haven't yet, go right now and buy Those Crooked Vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Million Dollar Quartet. Cash, Elvis, Perkins and Orbison. I had no idea those guys formed a group. How long did it last ? Was it just a few performances ? Maybe we should define "supergroup" with a minimum amount of time staying together, so we exclude those that did it just for the fun, or for the media hype.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Really ?John Rutsey SUCKED Rutsey was actually a sick blues drummer. Peart is just so versatile that it puts the spotlight on Rutsey being a one trick pony. However, he was definitely stout at that one trick.

MattGeorge85 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 While probably not the BEST, but Mad Season's album Above is very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he tries to mimic Rutsey with a few more fills here and there. Methodical rolls around the tom toms are sometimes a detriment when it comes to playing for a song. Peart is a phenom, but the first Rush album wasn't made for a phenomenal drummer. Just a guy that could lay down some bad ass blues numbers.
