“Super-group” is a term thrown around a lot in the music industry. But recently, two such mega-loaded bands have appeared on the scene and are rocking America pretty hard.
CHICKENFOOT
How can a band with as stupid of a name as “Chickenfoot” expect to bring in an audience? Well, when your band is composed of former Van Halen rockers Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, and guitar-God Joe Satriani, it doesn’t really matter what you call it. People are going to come check it out. Listen to the single, “Oh Yeah”, below.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES
When Lollapalooza hit Chicago last month, the show that generated the most buzz all weekend wasn’t actually playing in Grant Park. Them Crooked Vultures, a new super-group featuring Foo Fighters/Nirvana’s Dave Grohl on drums, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones on bass. Their “secret show” at the Metro last month was a huge success and their addition to the Austin City Limits bill next month has everyone talking. They’re going on tour again this October… but no stops scheduled for Chicago. Below is a preview of one of their new songs.

So we want to know… who would be in your super-group? Would you have Steve Perry accompanied by Slash? Or maybe Eddie Van Halen and Angus Young just rocking your face off is more your style. Let us know, leave a comment. Who’s in your Super Group?
