July 4, 20179 yr From my experience, "supergroups" tend to be very bloated and rarely live up to the expectations that come from bringing poop-tons of immensely talented musicians together. Internal chemistry is often sorely lacking, and the magic all those talented people had with their original bands is rarely recreated.
