BunnysBastatrds 2,320 Posted July 9, 2015 I use this one often. Pat Benatar You Better Run Yes. I saw them in concert a few years back. She bragged to the crowd that her band had the first guitar players on MTV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiPolarBear 483 Posted July 9, 2015 What band was the first "Super Group" that got together in the 70's. Blind Faith? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 2,320 Posted July 9, 2015 Blind Faith? Yes. Great band that should have done more IMO. To many egos I guess. There haven't been to many more that I can recall off the top of my head. The two that come to mind from my generation are Damn Yankees and Temple Of The Dog. Velvet Revolver? Great bands and Ihave always wondered why more bands didn't hook up. Creativity issues and writing songs for their labels is probably the reaon. Imagine band members being free agents and signing deals together like pro sports teams. Icould run off fifty names of band members that should have tried it. Imagine the possibilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine the possibilities. formed in 1968, didn't make it thru 1969 Keeping with the Clapton theme, I would nominate Derek and the Dominos as the first supergroup of the 1970s. Bad Company soon thereafter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted July 9, 2015 - "Dream" super group: vocals - Danzig guitar - Jimmy Page and Johnny Thunders bass - McCartney drums - Keef Moon I'm gonna vote for Brian May on guitar, and possibly Freddy Mercury on vocals.Freddy could sing in all styles. I think drums and bass depends more on taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think drums and bass depends more on taste.the entire group (Queen) merits honorable mention at each 'position' imo ... not to mention Roger Taylor's bonus vocals ... 'Drowse', 'Tenement Funster', 'I'm In Love With My Car', 'Rock It (Prime Jive)' are all top favorites of mine that Taylor sang lead on. of course, the dream group i cited were my personal faves - 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted July 9, 2015 the entire group (Queen) merits honorable mention, imo of course, the dream group i cited were my personal faves - I guess I should have said its all subjective. But I think Queen did so many varied forms of Rock that they could hang with anyone. I could see them being like Led Zep, the Beatles, and Elton John. Not too many bands could pull that off.
