The coolest supergroups according to Fuzz Music magazine
Содержание
There are musicians who can single-handedly take the world stage by storm and give the public stunning hits that become classics for centuries. There's no doubt about it: these idols are strong, ambitious and incredibly talented! Their flair for great rhythms and lyrics that are sure to touch hearts is a natural gift. But what if a few of these gurus could be brought together in the framework of one group? Yes, you'll get a real monster gang of geniuses that you can hardly avoid.
Today we decided to remember not just the worthy bands, but the supergroups - I mean bands that are all about idols! The difference between such a band and any other simply popular band is that it was formed by musicians who have already earned themselves big names. Although... we do have a surprise for you. All right, here we go! Now, this is really the kind of thing coolest.
The Travelling Wilburys
One of the of the coolest supergroups in a story that was founded entirely by accident. Just our luck, somewhere far away in the galaxy, the stars aligned and an ex-Beatle George Harrison offered the ELO legend To Jeff Lynn to work on his Cloud Nine album. The two hit it off so well that a few weeks later Harrison said:
"Look, Lynn, we should definitely have our own band."
So, they formed The Travelling Wilburyswhich also features a '50s vintage rocker in the person of Roy Orbison, folk-rock star. Bob Dylan and American rock legend Toma Petty. What can I add - it's just a superhero rock'n'roll band, that's all it is!
Hollywood Vampires
Another band that you can't call "super" without the prefix "super" is "Hollywood Vampires.". It includes the king of shock rock Alice Cooperstar of one of the most rebellious American hard rock bands in history. Joe Perryas well as the famed Caribbean pirate and heartthrob. Johnny Depp! Sounds more than impressive, doesn't it?
The line-up itself is already extremely ambitious and extravagant, but the music they play is also Hollywood Vampiresshe's gorgeous. This trio has clearly found each other. By the way, according to Cooper, the only thing they're missing is. Lemmy Kilmister on bass. But, alas, this Hollywood vampire is no longer with us....
Bad Company
Unlike most of the other bands on this list, the music of the Bad Company was characterised by an unassuming, almost Spartan simplicity. Founded in 1973 by the singer Paul Rogersguitarist. Mick Ralphs and the drummer Simon Kirkand later Bad Campany took on a bass player. Boza Barrella. And Peter Grant, who managed Led Zeppelin, was their manager for nearly 10 years.
With many millions of copies worldwide, Bad Company was a big hit in its day! Why did they? Their hits are still on the classic rock airwaves today.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The group, which included David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash (Neil Young occasionally participated) was formed with the light hand of Joni Mitchell (in part).

The story goes that the Canadian singer was dating The Byrds lead singer David Crosby when she offered him the role of producer for her next LP. As it turns out, Buffalo Springfield were recording in the neighbourhood. On hearing this, Mitchell immediately thought of her old mate Young. She told Crosby:
"You should meet Neil. He's so funny, funny! You're going to love this guy."
That's pretty much how it turned out.
Cream
Here comes our little surprise! We know you might be thinking right now, "What does Cream have to do with anything?". Of course it does. not a supergroup in the classical sense. But that's what Cream is constantly being called. Or rather, it is called the first supergroup in the history of rock music. And no wonder why.
Cream had only been together for a few years, but the fact that Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. made in that short time, will live on forever. Although the band didn't stay around for long and for most of the time they were a band the members fought amongst themselves, the music they created and the influence they had at the time means that they are undoubtedly the greatest trio in the history of the genre.
