So I picked up there album today. Has anyone else? I am really liking it!
If anyone hasn't heard of them this is a Music Super group of;
Vocals - Sammy Hagar
Lead Guitar - Joe Satriani
Bass - Michael Anthony
Drums - Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
This got me thinking if you had to put a band together of musicians who would you want in the band. As you can see in Chickenfoot Hagar (good front man) Satriani (one of the best) Anthony (decent bass) Smith (strong drummer). I am talking about putting together a band that will play well together. If you put Eddie Van Halen, Les Claypool, Neil Pert, and Axle Rose it would be to over powering. Everyone I think would be fighting for center stage and I think the music would suffer. I am talking about a band that would complement each other kinda like Chickenfoot does.
Here is what I came up with
Vocal/Guitar - Kenny Wayne Shepard
Guitar - Ted Nuggent
Bass - Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck)
Drum- Carter Bufford (Dave Matthews Band)
As you can see they are all great musician but I think they will make a great Blues Rock Album! I think all can stand by themselves but can also step back and let someone else take lead.
Only thing I ask is only living people can be in the band. No dead people.
I'm not especially impressed with Chickenfoot.. Pretty much commercial cheeze imho.. While I respect all these guys, Satriani and Smith especially,
anything with Sammy Hagar involved pretty much sounds like any other Sammy Hagar project..
I think a good representation of a "Supa-Group" would be Oyster Head: Les Claypool of Primus(and a few other projects), Trey Anastasio of Phish, and Stewart Copeland of The Police..
These guys playing together sound nothing like their respective bands.. For the record, I'm not any kind of Phish fan.. I actually despise Phish and their scene..
For my version of a "Supa-Group": most of the bands I listen to none of you have ever heard of, so it's pointless..
