Not arguing that there aren't a lot of "super" groups out there. But perhaps they're not in the spirit of this thread. Correct - this is the intent of the thread.

Snake45 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 How about The Highwaymen? When Johnny Cash comes in with "I fly a starship...." I get chills up my spine.
Kit Basher Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) How about the first one (that I know about): Followed pretty quickly by these guys: Edited September 23, 2020 by Kit Basher
440 Dakota Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 here's a couple for the 80s hair guys, how about HSAS, I still had the cassette up until a couple years ago when the basement took on water Sammy Hager Montrose, Van Hager, Solo, Chickenfoot Neil Schon Journey, Santana, Bad English Kenny Aaronson Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Michael Schieve Santana
440 Dakota Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Can't forget Damm Yankees Ted Nugent Jack Blades Night Ranger Tommy Shaw Styx Michael Cartellone Skynard
Jantrix Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Well Ringo Starr has sort of made his post-Beatles career of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_Starr_%26_His_All_Starr_Band Then there's Chickenfoot - Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers
stinkybritches Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I feel like David Lee Roth's first solo band fits the description. Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, and Greg Bissonette. I was there at the opening night of the Eat' em and Smile tour in Hampton, Va. That was the most bare breasts I have ever seen in one place, outside of a strip club. 19 year old me enjoyed the show immensely. Edited September 23, 2020 by stinkybritches Added more

Not arguing that there aren't a lot of "super" groups out there. But perhaps they're not in the spirit of this thread. Notice there are TWO different definitions there, one on each side of the word "or." Most of us are going by the second definition (as apparently intended by the OP), but NYLIBUD wants to use the first.

Draggon Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 One of my favorite groups at the moment, the Dead Daisies. Guys have been in G'n'R, INXS, Stones, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, The Cult, NIN, Motley Crue, Foreigner, Journey, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc.
Snake45 Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 A friend at work gave me a Chickenfoot CD a couple years ago. I really liked one song on it, and several others were pretty good too.

None of them were famous before Sabbath. So not a SuperGroup. Tony Iommi's book Iron Man is worth a read, if you haven't read it. Cheers, -Don. Edited September 25, 2020 by DonW
Earl Marischal Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Black Country Communion: Joe Bonamassa, Glen Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian. Good hard outfit. steve
DonW Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) On balance maybe most Supergroups weren't as good as the sum of their parts. For me, Jack Bruce was diminished by the other two idiots in the Cream. And as for the Wilburys... They were all individually far better than that. The Firm is another example in my opinion. ELP are on the other side of the coin. And Bad Company. Steve, BCC aren't too shabby! I'd never heard of them. Cheers, -Don. Edited September 25, 2020 by DonW
