July 5, 20179 yr Rush's Alex Lifeson's one and only solo effort was a 1996 project called "Victor" with an album of the same name where he used the services on various tracks of Les Claypool (Primus etc.),Canadian vocalist Edwin (I Mother Earth, Crash Karma), and Canadian female singer/songwriter Dalbello.

July 5, 20179 yr In an experiment IMO gone horribly wrong, in 1995 David Bowie teamed up with Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails to create the Brian Eno produced release "Outside" where they painted a dark edgy haunting slop of negative industrial nonsense. Coincidentally this was the only time that I had ever seen Bowie live, and for that matter Nine Inch Nails. Of all times to see him when I should've picked any one of his other 20+ releases to catch him. This is about the only tune from the release that I can sorta deal with, and really just on one of those days that I'm considering slashing my wrists. In truth this one tune from "Outside" was about as close to Bowie's not so dark usual form as the album got... but Meh. It may sound sacrilege to say, and I realize that Bowie was starring at death's door when writing it, but I just cannot listen to his last release "Blackstar" at all. It takes me to a very dark depressing place that I just don't want to be.

July 5, 20179 yr Author The Power Station was a 1980's supergroup made up of singer Robert Palmer, former Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and Duran Duran members John Taylor on bass, and Andy Taylor on guitar. Mrs. Lawnboy BIG fan of this group.

July 5, 20179 yr Though many bands from this video have already been mentioned, still a nice compilation displaying the Top 10. As a side note the number 10 band mentioned, the Jack White lead "The Raconteurs" were also comprised of Jack Lawrence on Bass, and drummer Patrick Keeler, both of the great Cincinnati garage band "The Greenhornes".
July 5, 20179 yr During the 2006 version of the "Rock Star" reality TV series that originally began as a contest to find a replacement lead singer for INXS in 2005, the band "Rock Star Supernova" was formed in the 2nd and final season made up of Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses), Johnny Colt (Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes), Jason Newsted (Metallica), and contestant winner Canadian Lukas Rossi where they released one album that peaked at 101 on the US charts, but debuted at No. 4 on the Canadian charts.
July 5, 20179 yr On a brief side note here is "Rock Star Supernova" contestant winner and vocalist Lukas Rossi covering Adele's "Hello". When it first began I cringed, but hung in there to find that I actually dig his power rockin' version of the tune. Sure it has that sheen that I typically despise when rockers amp up famous tunes this way, (Think Disturbed - Sound of Silence, or Shinedown - Simple Man), but I have to say that I really like it.
July 13, 20179 yr Down This is the original lineup Phil Anselmo-Pantera Pepper Keenan-Corrosion of Conformity Kirk Windstein-Crowbar Jimmy Bower-Crowbar/COC Todd Strange-Crowbar Their debut album NOLA, is one of my top 10 all time favorites. They have released 5 albums in 26 years. Also, they are one of the very bands that I still make an effort to see live. Yes Sir...I have a original copy on vinyl. Not a easy get or cheap. Also in my top 10...
July 14, 20179 yr Although not successful as a "supergroup" this song absolutely kicks butt, and I like this version better than the original from Mott The Hoople. Contraband - 1991 Richard Black (Shark Island) Michael Schenker (Scorpions, UFO, Michael Schenker Group) Tracii Guns (Guns N' Roses, L.A. Guns) Share Pedersen (Vixen) Bobby Blotzer (Ratt) Contraband ~"All The Way To Memphis" (1991) Ratt L.A.Guns MSG Vixon Shark Island - YouTube It is such a good cover. It's one of my favorite 10 songs ever. Just a jam.
July 14, 20179 yr Black Country Communion. Joe Bonamassa Jason Bonham Glenn Hughes Derek Sherinian Glenn Hughes is possibly the best singer I have ever heard. Him and David Coverdale doing "Burn" while in Deep Purple is a classic. Now in his 60's, he still delivers.
July 14, 20179 yr Yes Sir...I have a original copy on vinyl. Not a easy get or cheap. Also in my top 10... Great analog production, that no doubt sounds perfect on vinyl.
July 14, 20179 yr Derrick and the Dominoes--Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and 3 other dudes from Delaney and Bonnie Journey(pre Steve Perry)--Neil Schon/Greg Rolie (Santana), Ross Valory (Steve Miller Band) I'd call Ozzy's first solo band a Supergroup--Ozzy (Black Sabbath), Randy Rhoads (Quiet Riot), Bob Daisley (Rainbow), Lee Kerslake (Uriah Heep)
