So whos side project was Murderdolls? As a Wednesday 13 fan I always was given the impression they where friends and they decided to do a covers album Because thats all the 1st Murderdolls album is.... Covers of Frankenstein drag Queens from Planet 13 songs
Most painful recommendation, if you dont like Wednesday 13 songs with Joey playing drums check out all the same songs minus joey because they are better? x'D
Please do more research. Joey Jordison did not play drums for Murder Dolls. He was one of the guitarists. That could possibly be 1 reason why the drumming is soo much different than him in slipknot
Audioslave's albums still hold up to this day. It's a shame that before his death, Chris and Tom were coming back together and it seemed like more music was on the table
Audioslave was amazing. It really seemed like it was impossible to pull it off but somehow they did it. Whoever hasn´t heard more than Like stone (thats a great track BTW) I would recommend you to give it a go to the complete first album. Production is top notch quality, and although Morello gets lots of time in the spotlight, Tim and Brad are one of the best ryhtm sections in rock history, period. Besides, they were really big back in the day. I was born in 1990, so I didn´t really catch RATM on their peak, but I think that maybe with Audioslave they got bigger?
Stone Sour could technically count as Corey Taylor's side project from Slipknot, even though they originally formed before he joined Slipknot. He reformed them shortly after Slipknot blew up, and they did really well.
It's not Corey's side project, he was stone sours second vocalist, brought in by their guitarist Jim Root, (one of slipknot's guitarists) who asked him to be slipknot's second vocalist. Stone sour and Slipknot share 2 members.
Mike Mccready wrote some awesome riffs on that project too. Tbh everyone in that band was a really solid musician. Sucks we had to lose half of the band ☹️
That album helped me when I was freshly clean in 2010. I figured I'd end up like Layne, but found the album while working at Goodwill. Listened to it every morning at a terrible job, until I finally got my life together. RIP Layne
The ultimate side project is Skrillex….. it started out as an electronic side project of Sonny Moore (From First to Last) and turned into a huge chart topppng success that arguably changed music forever. (for better or for worse)
@@TheCivildecay I mean Skrillex was kinda important to a lot of us Zoomers getting into weird shit tho. I know a lot of people who are like 17-20 and are now listening to stuff like neurofunk, breakcore or glitchbreak but started their journey by listening to skrillex in 2013
I’m surprised Finn didn’t mention Transplants, Travis Barker’s other side project. They are a really hit or miss band for me, but the music is more interesting/creative than any other blink side project in my opinion.
Another side project I thought was awesome was “Down”. Considering Phil Anselmo came out with their first album at the peak of Pantera, it would obviously be compared greatly to Pantera. With that being said I had my doubts about it being a huge Pantera fan. But I was shocked at how much I loved it. All the albums to me are good.
Phil Anselmo side projects are just as good if not better than Pantera....Well Maybe better than Reinventing the steel which sounded like Damageplan lite.
Blur are actually one of the most successful and influential bands of the last 30 years here in the UK and are held in much higher regard than Gorillaz. The difference is Blur were pretty much exclusively marketed to British people and so they didn’t have much influence overseas. Gorillaz may have more album sales worldwide but Blur are considered icons of the 90s Britpop movement.
Americans have problems understanding that a world exists outside America that is completely separate to what is going on there. If they didn't know about it then it didn't exist.
Blur were absolutely huge in New Zealand too. Every kid at school was singing "I got my head shaved", even when they had long hair. Gorillaz were also popular but not to the same extent as Blur.
It’s surprising to hear no mention of queens of the stoneage. From the bands origins with Kyuss to the eventual ‘Th m crooked vultures’ supergroup of Josh homme, Dave grohl, and Jon Paul jones , so much material there
@@theticketthatexploded420 he claimed to have a bunch of songs saved up that he wrote specifically for slipknot. He planned on reuniting and using those songs with them. Only one person from the band came to visit him in the hospital after he lost control of his legs during his last show. They thought he was on drugs. Turns out he developed a condition. They threw him away. I can't listen to them anymore. I was obsessed with slipknot. I lost respect for them. Especially Corey and Shawn. They let me down...
Agreed. While th criticism of Prophets hold, because Cornell didn't do the rap/rock thing and just sang with his incredible voice, Audioslave stands a little different. It's the best post OG lineup
I love Cornell, but Audioslave were musically mediocre. Soundgarden were experimental, Rage were good at what they did, Audioslave seemed super underwhelming to me after such groundbreaking projects. But to each their own!
Killer be Killed with Greg from Dillinger, max calvera from sepultura, and Troy sanders from Mastodon is a great supergroup and probably one of the best. Showcases all vocalists really well
Gorillaz are my favorite band so it broke my heart to hear them described as "Kia Commercial Music" but at least you respect how successful they are as a whole 👍🏻
I like Deltron 3030 their rapper a lot, that's saying something because I really don't like that much rap honestly. I like me some Kool Keith/Dr Octagon and a few others like that but it's mostly that less mainstream variety.
Why would you suck all this info from him, he doesn't have enough knowledge about it nor he have checked discography and it was his personal opinion. Usually youtubers only has a certain % information that is useful, true and half way reaserched
When Joey died, it wasn't Slipknot that I felt like hearing or Scar the Martyr but actually Murderdolls. I was a kid just getting into Slipknot when they came out and my love for Joey and the Misfits really took over. Also, Xtrmst rules and it's a shame we never got a follow-up, maybe with better recordings.
Yes! Murderdolls are awesome and definitely deserve more recognition. What a fun band, the project really showed a different side of Joey we didn't see in Slipknot. He was such a versatile musician.
I loved Murderdolls almost as much as I loved Slipknot when I was a teenager. Despite my taste in music expanding and changing a bit as I got older, I still go back to Murderdolls and early Slipknot sometimes.
I agree. I found The Murderdolls because of Slipknot and Joey, but they quickly eclipsed them in my book. Wednesday 13 is one of my favorite musicians and has been for ages.
The first 2-3 Foo Fighters albums are so dope, still hold up to this day. And one cool supergroup I liked was The Damned Things. I initially thought throwing together members of Fall Out Boy, ETID and Anthrax sounded like a gigantic mess on paper, but I thought they were great.
Absolute favorite supergroup of mine lately is Killer Be Killed that consists of Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan), Max Cavalera (Soulfly), Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and most recently Ben Koller (Converge). The two albums the band has released are just spot on amazing and having Sanders, Puciato and Cavalera trade off vocals even on one song still works great. Check out their song "Dream Gone Bad" to see what I mean.
Funny that you mentioned Blur in relation to "Girls and Boys", I thought in the US Blur were only known for "Song 2". For the record, in Britain they were the second biggest guitar band of the 90s, and shaped the Britpop that dominated here in the mid 90s.
Down made me realize how much Phil had influenced Pantera to become what it was. Damage Plan was so bad it actually made me question how good Pantera was. Down is one of the greatest super groups.
Half of this list is Phil Anselmo, who also had some extreme metal side projects. I don't know if the whole white power thing was a joke or not but nowing his twisted sense of humor it probably was. I doubt he's actually racist though seeing how he sang about it in a negative perspective in 5 minutes alone "Your God's a racist tool" it kinda sounds like he's not for it. From what I gather he was being called out by skinheads in the audience and he was kinda mocking them because he has the look but isn't really one of them. It sounds probable at least, but who knows these days, people have gone down some very strange political roads for god only knows what reason.
I'm curious to know your opinion on two things: Them Crooked Vultures cause I don't know how well they actually did but I enjoy the album; and the the roster of Queens of the Stone Age that brought Songs for the Deaf that to me was a suped version of QOTSA that I'd say was near peak.
TCV album is flawless and still one of the best supergroups ever done. Dave, Josh, and JP are such an amazing combined force. Still praying they make another album. :C
yup scrolled down looking for this! I remember every song on TCV album 12 years later. The Desert Sessions collective side project with Josh Homme, Les Claypool, vampire actor/musician Matt Berry and a lot of other artists is really cool and underrated also.
I feel like Fantômas should get some recognition as one of the greatest (and most bizarre) supergroups ever conceived, even if they are rather obscure.
Some Honorable mentions not listed here (IMO): The Almost: Aaron Gillespie's (underoath) side project. As a drummer I enjoyed warming up by playing along to Southern Weather. Silvertooth: Side Project? sort of? For folks that love Silberstein and Beartooth, you'll love this. Silverstein started a limited time only side project, featuring the entire band Beartooth. May their short run live on through youtube forever. A Perfect Circle: This is what you get when Tool's touring guitar tech has a "hold my beer" moment & catches the eyes of the front man himself, Maynard James Keenan. This band was arguably the most successful of any side project to date. The Damned Things: Ever wonder what happens if you cross Fall Out Boy, Anthrax, Every Time I Die, and Alkaline Trio? Well, now you have an answer. With two full studio albums already under its belt, it surprising that no one has heard of this group. I personally really like the sound they've produced. You could describe it as Rockabilly Metal. Not to dissimilar from the sound of He Is Legend. Their latest single "Cells" really drives home this sound.
I started out as a Mark Hoppus guy, resenting Tom's live vocal performances and his stage banter that was incredibly juvenile to see in like 2009, but with time I've realized he's definitely the better songwriter. Corey Taylor's solo choices also include appearing in Nostalgia Critic's The Wall.
I think saying that their stage antics were only relegated to tom is a very silly thing somebody could say. They all acted like that. I thought that was kinda the whole gag, punk rock and dick jokes.
@@samcardenas1991 Pretty much. Mark was /just/ as bad as Tom when it came to juvenile shit lol. That was Blink's things. They were a gaggle of degenerates and it's how they've always been.
@@Scrinwaipwr I agree. I've been listening to Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket a ton lately and (in my opinion) compared to Mark's songs, Tom's lyrics are so bad. To be fair though, Tom's lyrics got a lot better on the self-titled and Neighborhoods.
my favorite supergroup is Killer be Killed ... i usually roll my eyes at supergroups and end up only giving a couple listens but killer be killed has been in my rotation since they started.
@@ivanagustinortiz5237 as much as I love Josh Homme, Eagles of Death Metal is not good. The vocals are kind of annoying and the music is just very mid at best. Them Crooked Vultures is arguably the best supergroup ever and Queens of the Stone Age is god tier
City and Colour (with Alexisonfire's Dallas Green) was probably the first 'heavily-tattooed-guy-from-a-hardcore-band-showing-his sweeter-side-with-folk-music' kinda side project. But even if it wasn't, it's still definitely the best.
The Murderdolls was one of my favorite bands when they came out when I was a junior in high school. I still love their music because it’s nostalgic at this point. I never got to see them live but I have seen Slipknot about a dozen times and Wednesday 13 once.
@@AlexGreat321 I’m kind of surprised he didn’t because a number of those songs were recycled or semi recycled from his music before them either from Frankensteins drag queens from planet 13 or his early solo stuff for the first record.
I saw Wednesday 13 in a basement of a pizza parlor I think it was in Berkeley. I don’t remember it was a long time ago. I remember hIm bitching about how close the crowd was to him.
I’ve never seen slipknot, but have seen Murderdolls and Wednesday 13 twice each! I met Joey after one of their gigs. I still listen to that stuff and love it.
THE TRAVELLING WILBURYS Off genre, but a unicorn; one of the most stacked supergroups talentwise to be ever formed Dylan, Harrison, Lynne, Orbison and Petty. Just the best of the best. And the music is great
Oh crap I forgot about them! I said Pulley was my favorite supergroup but yeah, actually Traveling Wilburys are now that you mention it. My dad would play their Volume I album on cassette often when we'd take a drive to my grandparents' house when I was a kid and I think that catchy music had an influence on the type of music I ended up liking as I got older. I didn't listen to it myself until I was older but that Vol I is one of my favorite albums. 👍
On the didn’t suck side, I was really shocked to see that you didn’t make mention of temple of the dog or Mad Season…. Both were phenomenal super groups I still listen to today.
@@stuffedanimalparade6240 fuck yes it is a great song. And so is the song lips turn blue. Finn, let me see you shit out 9 albums in one year. They deserve a bit more credit than was given.
I went through a big Chiodos/DRUGS phase in like 2013. DRUGS is coming back so that’s exciting but I’m hoping the music is good. None of Craig’s solo ventures since have caught my attention
There was actually a FOURTH Blink-182 side project, the Transplants (formed by Travis, along with Tim Armstrong from Rancid). They're rap rock, and they recorded their albums between 2002 and 2013, in between Travis's stints in Boxcar Racer, +44, and Blink-182. Travis was a busy man in the 2000s.
Prophets of Rage were absolutely fantastic live - very high energy and a lot of fun. B Real and Chuck D were great with the crowd. When I saw them in Auckland in 2018, Serj from System of a Down came on stage to perform Like a Stone by Audioslave in honour of Chris Cornell.
hey man, love the video, but if i can offer a quick correction: you mentioned Joey's playing in murderdolls being more straightforward than his playing in slipknot. that would most likely be due to the style, sure, but also because Joey was playing guitar in murderdolls, not sitting behind the kit :) that honor would originally go to Ben Graves, and later, Racci Shay and Jason West for a short time towards the end of the reunion tour. sorry not sorry, massive Joey (RIP) and slipknot fan, so i couldn't help myself, haha. thanks again for the great vid!
Chester Bennington’s side project Dead By Sunrise was surprisingly pretty great. Him with members of Julien K and Orgy. Basically a post-grunge band with hints of punk and industrial
Not to mention his time with Stone Temple Pilots. Not also mention Fort Minor which is probably one of the few, if only, times that a nu-metal mc pulled of an iconic hip hop album.
Chester did the vocals on a song from Mark Morton's (of Lamb of God) solo album called "Days Gone." The song itself is kinda "eh," but I like it because it was really good to hear Chester scream again. I think it was one of if not the last things he recorded before he died.
Down is the ultimate side project/supergroup. Nola is legitimately one of the best records of all time in my opinion, and it’s interesting because the band was formed before a lot of the members’ full time bands.
The Adventure by Angels… may be one of the best songs ever. It just gives you such a feeling. Also Corey Taylor’s black eyes blue is also an incredible song. However the rest I couldn’t get into.
I love that +44 Album so much. Great Record. Mark play some songs from them live on twitch, on bass. That was fucking awesome. Sad that their didn't make a second record.
Finn, bro you totally forgot Hellyeah. They were an absolutely excellent super group. Well, half super anyways. Vinnie Paul, and Chad gray. Man, there last album 'welcome home' was so good. Finn, if you haven't heard it yet please do yourself a favor and atleast listen to the track 'oh my god' or 'welcome home'. Anyways, I'd like to thank you for the quality content you put out. Take care!
An honorable mention here I think David Draiman's device was one that kind of fell flat, his vocals are so unique that he could try really hard, but whatever he does is still going to sound a LOT like disturbed no matter what
I saw Device open for the Megadeth /Black Label Society tour about ten years ago and it SUCKED. No bass made for a really thin sound, and David's lack of charisma didn't do the set any favours either.
Will Swan's underrated Swancore projects that can make a whole concert on his side hustle bands alone. Imagine playing in Dance Gavin Dance, Sianvar, Secret Band, and Royal Coda in one sitting at one concert... .
If you do a sequel, I’d add Isles & Glaciers and the sound of animals fighting. You could also add The Word Alive as Craig’s side project that became huge.
I&G is good but it is so hard to give a shit about Jonny Craig bands for me, even older Dance Gavin Dance. One of the few times I have a hard time separating the art from the artist.
Hey Finn, great video. Maybe you could do a part 2 to this idea? Would love to see you talk about Oysterhead. Definitely one of the best (and most bizarre) shows I have ever seen live.
I loved murderdolls. It was just fun "cooler" version of misfits. I remember laughing so much because it was def a band I never could play out loud caz it was such dumb lyrics. Me first is legit one of my favv bands.
A couple of interesting additions to this list could have been Maynard James Keenan's side projects: one the one hand, you have A Perfect Circle, a supergroup that achieved such level of sucess and artistry it almost rivaled Tool... and the you have Puscifer, where not even collaborations with Milla Jovovich managed to make it not suck.
I remember I fell in love with the Murderdolls back when I was a kid. I was also a Slipknot fan and being that there wasn't google back then, it took me up until I was a teenager to realize that Joey was the guitarist. Still to this day 20 years later I still love them. I jam Murderdolls every once in a while and it takes me back to 5th grade lmao!
END has to be one of my favorite side projects/supergroups. It features members of Misery Signals, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit For An Autopsy, and Counterparts.
Check out Secret Band - it’s basically Dance Gavin Dance with only harsh vocals. Also, don’t forget the Rancid/Blink-182 crossover band, The Transplants. Don’t be put off by the ‘rap rock’ label because it’s not really representative of their sound
Great points about Blink. I do feel like their stuff with Matt was awesome though. Im grateful we got two albums with Matt rather than nothing without Tom just because Tom didn’t feel like being in the band. Tom’s latest Angels album was rad though!
I’m interested in what part of Tom Morello’s politics you don’t agree with? I’ve researched him a little bit (don’t know much about him other than the music) but was wondering about your take?
I have to say, that in prime time Damon Albarn and Blur make a great success - but in Europe. They wasn't well known at USA, but it was really well know in other places
My favorite part of the Damnocracy thing was Sebastian Bach trying super hard to convince the guys that the band should be called SAVAGE ANIMAL! like it was the coolest band name to ever exist
OMG, the comparison between Methods and Mayhem and a scene from the Fast and the Furious is spot on. Although, you can't really have this list without talking about the myriad of projects (of varying quality) from Phil Anselmo .
You started to mention Audioslave, but didn't say what you thought of them. I'm curious as I loved the group. If you mention them in a previous video I'd love to watch
Great video man... As always! Can I suggest a video about new era grunge and alternative bands like Violent soho, Narrow Head, Soul Blind, Bugg, Superheaven etc etc? Would be cool to hear your opinion on those kids
I remember watching Supergroup when it was coming on VH1 back in 2006 or so. Initially they were going to call the group Fist. Because, according to Sebastian, the five of them were like five powerful fingers coming together to form...a fist. Lots of laughs during that show. I also remember a scene where Ted woke up the house with a rendition of the national anthem on his guitar. Classic VH1.
You spoke of Grohl but didn't mention his project Probot. Now is it is a side project or a super group? I mean look who's involved. Dave Grohl - lead guitar, drums, bass, lead vocals Kim Thayil - additional guitar (tracks 6, 11) Cronos - lead vocals, bass (track 1) Max Cavalera - lead vocals (track 2) Lemmy - lead vocals, bass (track 3) Mike Dean - lead vocals (track 4) Kurt Brecht - lead vocals (track 5) Lee Dorrian - lead vocals (track 6) Scott "Wino" Weinrich - lead vocals, guitar (track 7) Tom G. Warrior - lead vocals (track 8) Denis "Snake" Bélanger - lead vocals (track 9) Eric Wagner - lead vocals (track 10) King Diamond - lead vocals (track 11) Jack Black - lead vocals, guitar (hidden track) Bubba Dupree (Void) - guitar (track 4) Erol Unala (Apollyon Sun, Celtic Frost) - guitar (track 8) Matt Sweeney - additional guitar (track 9)
@@biznatcho7 as a European think I've only seen Chris play with the gimmes a couple of times as Scott normally comes on the eurotours but I ain't complaining. Was pretty mad a couple years ago at groezrock when it was face to face, gimmes, and NUFAN and Scott played all 3 sets back to back lol. Also don't think I've seen fat mike play bass over here with them in an age but had some great replacements like the long stint of jay Bentley for a few years.
I'm surprised you didn't mention DOWN (Crowbar, Pantera, Eyehategod, COC), definitely one of the most talented metal supergroups and their first album, NOLA, is an all-time sludge/stoner classic.
I've always enjoyed the gorillaz. The many collaborations on a single album makes each song sound fresh and interesting. The Humans album is a great example of this!
I loved the DRUGS album, and looking forward to the new album. I didn’t like chiodos either. At least not with Craig in it. I liked them for one album, and it was the album called illuminaudio
Joey Jordison had another metal project going, called "scar the martyr" - song suggestions: "blood host" and "soul disintegration" Tommy Lee's band "methods of mayhem" released an album in 2010 called "a public disservice announcement", which is quite pleasing to listen and has some "hit potentials".
@@m00k61 I don't really think of them as side projects - more continuations of Danzig's work. Pretty sure any crossover between the bands was short, if there was any cross over at all. I was thinking more... Graves, Gotham Road, Dr Chud's X Ward and possibly worst of all.. Kryst The Conqueror. Doyle probably gets a pass on "Doyle". But yeah, if I'm including those bands then Samhain and Danzig are probably just as much side-projects as any of these are, and Samhain SLAPS.
Yeah definitely... belladonna,, temple of the dog,, the raconteurs,, the transplants, p.i.l.,,The nightwatchman, infectious grooves.. if you include solo albums, it's an hours discussion..
Out of all the videos I've watched from you over the years I have never heard such heresy spoken! You DON'T like Gorillaz music? I mean come ON. They are definitely a very experimental band who is constantly changing their sound and pulling in artists from all over the world to do collabs with them and it works. I mean they're not all bangers, but if you actually take time to smoke a bowl and relax to some of their music you'd be really surprised. They got their newest series out called song machine and some of it is pretty wack like the Elton John thing they did, but they had one really weird song called, "Desolé" that was for lack of a better word, "beautiful". You got the same keyboard and relaxed vocals from 2D, and then some crazy chick from Africa hops in and starts singing and it's almost enough to bring a tear to your eye.
united nations was a good “supergroup.” i remember chatting with chree from #12 back in the aim days and he told me about that project. after so many years it finally happened but chree was no longer in it(to my knowledge)
I absolutely resented angels and airwaves because I felt like that’s why my favorite band broke up. But around 2015 I finally caved and they shot straight up to my 2nd favorite band. Dying to see them live
for next time: Art of Anarchey (Big names in the rock and metal scene), Dreamcar (Davey Havok + No doubt band), Outer Glow // ShYbeast (I see stars vocalists) We Are Harlot (that time when Danny Warsnop quit Asking to do country rock or something like that), you could talk about Attack Attack! and how many bands that's turned into with the revival of the band it'self as well. just some ideas :) Thanks for the video!

So whos side project was Murderdolls? As a Wednesday 13 fan I always was given the impression they where friends and they decided to do a covers album Because thats all the 1st Murderdolls album is.... Covers of Frankenstein drag Queens from Planet 13 songs

what about Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies and the Damned Things
Please do more research. Joey Jordison did not play drums for Murder Dolls. He was one of the guitarists. That could possibly be 1 reason why the drumming is soo much different than him in slipknot
Audioslave's albums still hold up to this day. It's a shame that before his death, Chris and Tom were coming back together and it seemed like more music was on the table
The first one was the best imo!
I was preparing myself for Finn’s bad take on Audioslave but then he completely glossed over them.
Like A Stone is such a fucking good song.
Audioslave was amazing. It really seemed like it was impossible to pull it off but somehow they did it. Whoever hasn´t heard more than Like stone (thats a great track BTW) I would recommend you to give it a go to the complete first album.

Show Me How to Live is such a jam
Surprised there was no mention of A Perfect Circle. Definitely one of the best side projects.
thats the first side project i ever heard... i wanna believe maynard invented side projects lol
The first one that comes to my mind every time. 🤘🏻
Absolutely.
My favorite
Without a doubt🙌
I really enjoy the 3 side projects that Chino Moreno has developed, “Team Sleep”, “Crosses”, & “Palms”
Did you expect Finn to mention this?;)
But yes they are really cool
Team sleep are better than deftones lets be honest!
@@lewisb85 Team Sleep is great, but I wouldn't go that far. Calm down.....
I was today years old when I found out that Team Sleep was Chino's project, it all makes sense now
I agree. Finn not so much.
Stone Sour could technically count as Corey Taylor's side project from Slipknot, even though they originally formed before he joined Slipknot. He reformed them shortly after Slipknot blew up, and they did really well.
Really showed Corey's range.
Slipknot is the real supergroup/side-project.
It's not Corey's side project, he was stone sours second vocalist, brought in by their guitarist Jim Root, (one of slipknot's guitarists) who asked him to be slipknot's second vocalist. Stone sour and Slipknot share 2 members.
StoneSour was the worst thing to have happened to Slipknot. Once they got big, Corey started turning Slipknot into radio friendly band.
Corey is the John Cena of metal
Can't forget Mad Season, Layne Staley from Alice in Chains' awesome side gig. Definitely worth a listen.
Rest Peacefully Layne.
Mike Mccready wrote some awesome riffs on that project too. Tbh everyone in that band was a really solid musician. Sucks we had to lose half of the band ☹️
@@aleksastamenkovic5526 definitely! 🤙

The ultimate side project is Skrillex….. it started out as an electronic side project of Sonny Moore (From First to Last) and turned into a huge chart topppng success that arguably changed music forever. (for better or for worse)

@@michaeltrommler9144 thankfully I got into that stuff well before I had ever even listened to Skrillex despite loving him in FFTL 🤣
Dubstep is some of the worst music I have ever heard.
I’m surprised Finn didn’t mention Transplants, Travis Barker’s other side project. They are a really hit or miss band for me, but the music is more interesting/creative than any other blink side project in my opinion.
Also, Drugs broke up because Craig rejoined Chiodos and didn’t discuss it with the rest of the band (from what I remember.)
The Transplants is Tim Armstrong's project that included Travis. But yeah they're definitely a punk/ rap supergroup.
Pretty hard to keep track of Barker's side projects these days 😂 he's basically half involved with half of pop punk these days.
The Transplants were mean to Nardwuar during an interview. I won’t support them strictly because of that lol
I was getting ready to type the same thing but figured I should check the comments first. I agree.
Another side project I thought was awesome was “Down”. Considering Phil Anselmo came out with their first album at the peak of Pantera, it would obviously be compared greatly to Pantera. With that being said I had my doubts about it being a huge Pantera fan. But I was shocked at how much I loved it. All the albums to me are good.
Phil Anselmo side projects are just as good if not better than Pantera....Well Maybe better than Reinventing the steel which sounded like Damageplan lite.
Was going to mention DOWN/Superjoint!
@@lewismcnicholas2631 Super Joints last album was awesome and when it comes to stage presence Phil still gots it.
@@ogvelociraptor205 I agree - best metal frontman ever. Looking forward to the new project he is doing with Kerry King
Down is better than Pantera. Kirk and Peppers riff writing and playing is 10/10 on Nola.
Blur are actually one of the most successful and influential bands of the last 30 years here in the UK and are held in much higher regard than Gorillaz. The difference is Blur were pretty much exclusively marketed to British people and so they didn’t have much influence overseas. Gorillaz may have more album sales worldwide but Blur are considered icons of the 90s Britpop movement.
Yeah kinda weird that he said Gorillaz are bigger than Blur, like I'm Australian and even I was like 'Idk about that'
He also called him Damien and not Damon lol
Americans have problems understanding that a world exists outside America that is completely separate to what is going on there. If they didn't know about it then it didn't exist.
Blur were absolutely huge in New Zealand too. Every kid at school was singing "I got my head shaved", even when they had long hair. Gorillaz were also popular but not to the same extent as Blur.
Blur was mean to nardwaur so fuck them
It’s surprising to hear no mention of queens of the stoneage. From the bands origins with Kyuss to the eventual ‘Th m crooked vultures’ supergroup of Josh homme, Dave grohl, and Jon Paul jones , so much material there
Definitely worth mentioning.
My favorite part of murderdolls was just seeing Joey on guitar instead of drums. Truly shows the dimensions of his talent.
Long live the god 🤟🏻
It's apparent that him and Paul wrote a lot of great songs for Slipknot. I'm not really a fan of the past 2 albums.
@@abowla7187 I think Joey wrote Scissors if I'm not mistaken, great track
@@theticketthatexploded420 he claimed to have a bunch of songs saved up that he wrote specifically for slipknot. He planned on reuniting and using those songs with them. Only one person from the band came to visit him in the hospital after he lost control of his legs during his last show. They thought he was on drugs. Turns out he developed a condition. They threw him away. I can't listen to them anymore. I was obsessed with slipknot. I lost respect for them. Especially Corey and Shawn. They let me down...
@@abowla7187 Clown and Corey have been showing their true colors lately
Audioslave was an incredible supergroup. Rip Chris Cornell
Agreed. While th criticism of Prophets hold, because Cornell didn't do the rap/rock thing and just sang with his incredible voice, Audioslave stands a little different. It's the best post OG lineup
what about mad season? i liked that one
Im a huge Rage and Soundgarden fan but i just couldnt get into audioslave... It was bland to me.
@@kimmyfreak200 I love mad season to rock in peace brother Layne Staley
I love Cornell, but Audioslave were musically mediocre. Soundgarden were experimental, Rage were good at what they did, Audioslave seemed super underwhelming to me after such groundbreaking projects. But to each their own!
Killer be Killed with Greg from Dillinger, max calvera from sepultura, and Troy sanders from Mastodon is a great supergroup and probably one of the best. Showcases all vocalists really well
This
I think they're awful, but each to their own 🤷♂️
I actually think they are a hell of a wasted potential.
compared to nailbomb its shit, Alex newport was a beast who got the best out of max!
@@lewisb85 now that was a hell of an album
Audioslave debut album was nearly flawless. It’s as good as any Soundgarden and RATM album IMO. I would say they are the standard for supergroups.
Gorillaz are my favorite band so it broke my heart to hear them described as "Kia Commercial Music" but at least you respect how successful they are as a whole 👍🏻
Finn has pretty bad taste
I like Deltron 3030 their rapper a lot, that's saying something because I really don't like that much rap honestly. I like me some Kool Keith/Dr Octagon and a few others like that but it's mostly that less mainstream variety.
Why would you suck all this info from him, he doesn't have enough knowledge about it nor he have checked discography and it was his personal opinion. Usually youtubers only has a certain % information that is useful, true and half way reaserched
Everything outside of punk hardcore screaming is a comercial music to him XD
dude is tonedeaf XD
That was a bad take. Gorillaz are fucking great
I think mad season should definitely get a mention. probably the best side project / super group in my opinion.
also Temple of the dog
It truly was. Above is a masterpiece.
Just left the same comment! Mad Season was awesomeness 🤘🤙
oooh good call
Probably my favorite supergroup now that you mention it
When Joey died, it wasn't Slipknot that I felt like hearing or Scar the Martyr but actually Murderdolls. I was a kid just getting into Slipknot when they came out and my love for Joey and the Misfits really took over. Also, Xtrmst rules and it's a shame we never got a follow-up, maybe with better recordings.
Yes! Murderdolls are awesome and definitely deserve more recognition. What a fun band, the project really showed a different side of Joey we didn't see in Slipknot. He was such a versatile musician.
Scar the Martyr has some good tunes.
Murderdolls was amazing! Beyond the valley is my all time fav album
I loved Murderdolls almost as much as I loved Slipknot when I was a teenager. Despite my taste in music expanding and changing a bit as I got older, I still go back to Murderdolls and early Slipknot sometimes.
I agree. I found The Murderdolls because of Slipknot and Joey, but they quickly eclipsed them in my book. Wednesday 13 is one of my favorite musicians and has been for ages.
The first 2-3 Foo Fighters albums are so dope, still hold up to this day. And one cool supergroup I liked was The Damned Things. I initially thought throwing together members of Fall Out Boy, ETID and Anthrax sounded like a gigantic mess on paper, but I thought they were great.
Damned Things were really good!
Even the first album is good. I have so many favorite songs from that album
Shout out to The Damned Things!
Damned Things are great!
Love The Damned Things!
Absolute favorite supergroup of mine lately is Killer Be Killed that consists of Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan), Max Cavalera (Soulfly), Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and most recently Ben Koller (Converge). The two albums the band has released are just spot on amazing and having Sanders, Puciato and Cavalera trade off vocals even on one song still works great. Check out their song "Dream Gone Bad" to see what I mean.
Funny that you mentioned Blur in relation to "Girls and Boys", I thought in the US Blur were only known for "Song 2". For the record, in Britain they were the second biggest guitar band of the 90s, and shaped the Britpop that dominated here in the mid 90s.
Mad Season, Superjoint Ritual, Down, and A Perfect Circle are 4 side projects that were (and in some cases still are) super popular and successful.
Hell yeah! Cant believe that dude didnt mention one of them. He has to learn a lot
Down made me realize how much Phil had influenced Pantera to become what it was. Damage Plan was so bad it actually made me question how good Pantera was. Down is one of the greatest super groups.
Half of this list is Phil Anselmo, who also had some extreme metal side projects. I don't know if the whole white power thing was a joke or not but nowing his twisted sense of humor it probably was. I doubt he's actually racist though seeing how he sang about it in a negative perspective in 5 minutes alone "Your God's a racist tool" it kinda sounds like he's not for it. From what I gather he was being called out by skinheads in the audience and he was kinda mocking them because he has the look but isn't really one of them. It sounds probable at least, but who knows these days, people have gone down some very strange political roads for god only knows what reason.
Probot kicked ass
Mad Season was always sad but now with Mark Lanegan gone it's absolutely heartbreaking.
I'm curious to know your opinion on two things: Them Crooked Vultures cause I don't know how well they actually did but I enjoy the album; and the the roster of Queens of the Stone Age that brought Songs for the Deaf that to me was a suped version of QOTSA that I'd say was near peak.
TCV album is flawless and still one of the best supergroups ever done. Dave, Josh, and JP are such an amazing combined force. Still praying they make another album. :C
yup scrolled down looking for this! I remember every song on TCV album 12 years later. The Desert Sessions collective side project with Josh Homme, Les Claypool, vampire actor/musician Matt Berry and a lot of other artists is really cool and underrated also.
I love Them Crooked Vultures. That album was amazing. QOTSA are my favorite band.
So fucking good
@@SonicBroham same dude. Especially with the whole super group shit. Such a good band
The Murderdolls were SO sick, really wish they would've done the tour off of their last album.
They did tour the album in the UK
I loved dem
I loved them when they debuted their album but all my friends totally hated it
I loved Murderdolls, first band I got my guitar teacher to teach me songs of when I was 12 years old 🤣
@@almost.sweettalk.caffeine good teacher.
I feel like Fantômas should get some recognition as one of the greatest (and most bizarre) supergroups ever conceived, even if they are rather obscure.
Fuck yes!!!
Some Honorable mentions not listed here (IMO):
The Almost: Aaron Gillespie's (underoath) side project. As a drummer I enjoyed warming up by playing along to Southern Weather.
Silvertooth: Side Project? sort of? For folks that love Silberstein and Beartooth, you'll love this. Silverstein started a limited time only side project, featuring the entire band Beartooth. May their short run live on through youtube forever.
A Perfect Circle: This is what you get when Tool's touring guitar tech has a "hold my beer" moment & catches the eyes of the front man himself, Maynard James Keenan. This band was arguably the most successful of any side project to date.
The Damned Things: Ever wonder what happens if you cross Fall Out Boy, Anthrax, Every Time I Die, and Alkaline Trio? Well, now you have an answer. With two full studio albums already under its belt, it surprising that no one has heard of this group. I personally really like the sound they've produced. You could describe it as Rockabilly Metal. Not to dissimilar from the sound of He Is Legend. Their latest single "Cells" really drives home this sound.
The Damned Things are very underrated
The Almost is good.
Prophets of rage was definitely mediocre but audioslave was amazing especially their first album
Can anyone really expect a bunch of middle age dudes to put out rap rock and it actually be anything other than mediocre?
The first Audioslave album is such a classic. Also has one of Morello's best solos in 'Getaway Car'
I started out as a Mark Hoppus guy, resenting Tom's live vocal performances and his stage banter that was incredibly juvenile to see in like 2009, but with time I've realized he's definitely the better songwriter. Corey Taylor's solo choices also include appearing in Nostalgia Critic's The Wall.
I think Tom writes better music but Mark writes better lyrics.
And I also think that Mark is a much better vocalist from the very start.
I think saying that their stage antics were only relegated to tom is a very silly thing somebody could say. They all acted like that. I thought that was kinda the whole gag, punk rock and dick jokes.
@@samcardenas1991 Pretty much. Mark was /just/ as bad as Tom when it came to juvenile shit lol. That was Blink's things. They were a gaggle of degenerates and it's how they've always been.
@@Scrinwaipwr I agree. I've been listening to Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket a ton lately and (in my opinion) compared to Mark's songs, Tom's lyrics are so bad. To be fair though, Tom's lyrics got a lot better on the self-titled and Neighborhoods.
my favorite supergroup is Killer be Killed ... i usually roll my eyes at supergroups and end up only giving a couple listens but killer be killed has been in my rotation since they started.
wasnt that one of the max cavalera projects?
Killer be killed is fantastic. Showcases all vocalists so damn well
Max, the bassist from mastodon, former vocalist for Dillinger, and I forget whose on drums.
@@toyotaecw dude from converge
Came here to say the same. Killer be Killed is what a supergroup should sound like.
If he's gonna do a part 2 he should include them crooked vultures. Underrated and left you wanting more
Same with Eagles of Death Metal
@@ivanagustinortiz5237 as much as I love Josh Homme, Eagles of Death Metal is not good. The vocals are kind of annoying and the music is just very mid at best. Them Crooked Vultures is arguably the best supergroup ever and Queens of the Stone Age is god tier
City and Colour (with Alexisonfire's Dallas Green) was probably the first 'heavily-tattooed-guy-from-a-hardcore-band-showing-his sweeter-side-with-folk-music' kinda side project. But even if it wasn't, it's still definitely the best.
City and Colour is amazing. Took me way too long to understand the name. Dallas Green. A city and a color. I felt so dumb when it finally clicked.
Me + You is another great Dallas Green side project with Pink.
@@AkenoNorris Yes! Me + You is a fantastic project
Yes, D.R.U.G.S were fucking great. They do have a new album coming out, hope something will happen with them. It's Damon, not Damien, singer of Blur.
The Murderdolls was one of my favorite bands when they came out when I was a junior in high school. I still love their music because it’s nostalgic at this point. I never got to see them live but I have seen Slipknot about a dozen times and Wednesday 13 once.
I saw them once years ago and that's when I realised how teeny Joey Jordison really was :)
I've seen Wednesday 13 twice and both times I was hoping he would do some Murderdolls songs
@@AlexGreat321 I’m kind of surprised he didn’t because a number of those songs were recycled or semi recycled from his music before them either from Frankensteins drag queens from planet 13 or his early solo stuff for the first record.
I saw Wednesday 13 in a basement of a pizza parlor I think it was in Berkeley. I don’t remember it was a long time ago. I remember hIm bitching about how close the crowd was to him.
I’ve never seen slipknot, but have seen Murderdolls and Wednesday 13 twice each! I met Joey after one of their gigs. I still listen to that stuff and love it.
I think Hellyeah was a great supergroup. And Stone Sour deserves mention for how big it actually was.
Pretty sure Corey was in Stone Sour before Slipknot. So I wouldn't really call it a side project.
THE TRAVELLING WILBURYS
Off genre, but a unicorn; one of the most stacked supergroups talentwise to be ever formed
Dylan, Harrison, Lynne, Orbison and Petty. Just the best of the best.
And the music is great
Oh crap I forgot about them! I said Pulley was my favorite supergroup but yeah, actually Traveling Wilburys are now that you mention it. My dad would play their Volume I album on cassette often when we'd take a drive to my grandparents' house when I was a kid and I think that catchy music had an influence on the type of music I ended up liking as I got older. I didn't listen to it myself until I was older but that Vol I is one of my favorite albums. 👍
On the didn’t suck side, I was really shocked to see that you didn’t make mention of temple of the dog or Mad Season…. Both were phenomenal super groups I still listen to today.
Great call on Mad Season.
In the span of a year and a half, Psycho Synner/Psychosexual released 10 of the worst albums I've ever heard in my life. What an accomplishment.
Afterlife Wife is an awesomely bad song.
@@stuffedanimalparade6240 fuck yes it is a great song. And so is the song lips turn blue. Finn, let me see you shit out 9 albums in one year. They deserve a bit more credit than was given.

@@manifestationsofasort lol, yeah they put out 9 albums in one year all in one drop
You unlocked a long-forgotten memory with DRUGS. I was obsessed with them in High School. And the Murderdolls. Great video, Finn!
I went through a big Chiodos/DRUGS phase in like 2013. DRUGS is coming back so that’s exciting but I’m hoping the music is good. None of Craig’s solo ventures since have caught my attention
DRUGS just came back and is going on tour soon
There was actually a FOURTH Blink-182 side project, the Transplants (formed by Travis, along with Tim Armstrong from Rancid). They're rap rock, and they recorded their albums between 2002 and 2013, in between Travis's stints in Boxcar Racer, +44, and Blink-182.
Travis was a busy man in the 2000s.
I remember the transplants being super popular in my area, for whatever reason.
Angels and Airwaves came out during a tumultuous time; it got me through so much, but I also prefer their spacey sound
Nailbomb was a sick side project of Max Cavalera, sadly they only released one LP.
Nailbomb motherfuckers!!!
Damn, just had that on. It still crushes all these years later.
@@worksofein6449 and the fact they played 2 shows and called it quits. They were the best side project in 90s

Prophets of Rage were absolutely fantastic live - very high energy and a lot of fun. B Real and Chuck D were great with the crowd. When I saw them in Auckland in 2018, Serj from System of a Down came on stage to perform Like a Stone by Audioslave in honour of Chris Cornell.
Profits of rage is a money grab
@@johnnydaggers7649 it is funny how Tom and Zach are communist, but flat out purist capitalist when it comes to music
@@johnnydaggers7649 yup.
hey man, love the video, but if i can offer a quick correction:
you mentioned Joey's playing in murderdolls being more straightforward than his playing in slipknot. that would most likely be due to the style, sure, but also because Joey was playing guitar in murderdolls, not sitting behind the kit :) that honor would originally go to Ben Graves, and later, Racci Shay and Jason West for a short time towards the end of the reunion tour.
sorry not sorry, massive Joey (RIP) and slipknot fan, so i couldn't help myself, haha. thanks again for the great vid!
Another Drummer Side Project worth mention: The Almost, Aaron Gillespie's band after he left Underoath.
The Transplants are a pretty solid side project/super group featuring Travis Barker and Tim Armstrong.
Agreed, that first album of theirs is especially good.
Chester Bennington’s side project Dead By Sunrise was surprisingly pretty great. Him with members of Julien K and Orgy. Basically a post-grunge band with hints of punk and industrial
Agreed!
Anything Chester touches is a masterpiece
Not to mention his time with Stone Temple Pilots. Not also mention Fort Minor which is probably one of the few, if only, times that a nu-metal mc pulled of an iconic hip hop album.
Chester did the vocals on a song from Mark Morton's (of Lamb of God) solo album called "Days Gone." The song itself is kinda "eh," but I like it because it was really good to hear Chester scream again. I think it was one of if not the last things he recorded before he died.
i listen to it often...same as his 1st band grey daze
Down is the ultimate side project/supergroup. Nola is legitimately one of the best records of all time in my opinion, and it’s interesting because the band was formed before a lot of the members’ full time bands.
LIFER!!!!
For me Down had more longevity. Also Them Cooked Vultures and Soulfly should be here
Sad you didn't mention Probot. Though Probot only released one album it proved Dave Grohl can be successful in nearly any genre he touches.
The Adventure by Angels… may be one of the best songs ever. It just gives you such a feeling. Also Corey Taylor’s black eyes blue is also an incredible song. However the rest I couldn’t get into.
I love that +44 Album so much.
Great Record.
Mark play some songs from them live on twitch, on bass.
That was fucking awesome.
Sad that their didn't make a second record.
Certainly room to make a sequel to this video, would love to hear your take on Isles & Glaciers. Also the Transplants are worth mentioning.
Personally I find Isles and Glaciers to be boring. It’s very slow and should be full of bangers.
If this gets 100 upvotes will you say “What’s up everybody I’m the punk rock MBA and this is Finn McKenty” on the next one?
Yes
Finn, bro you totally forgot Hellyeah. They were an absolutely excellent super group. Well, half super anyways. Vinnie Paul, and Chad gray. Man, there last album 'welcome home' was so good. Finn, if you haven't heard it yet please do yourself a favor and atleast listen to the track 'oh my god' or 'welcome home'. Anyways, I'd like to thank you for the quality content you put out. Take care!
@@ThePunkRockMBA Don't do it, Finn
It's lame
If this comment beats Matt's to 100 upvotes will you not do it?
I'll even give Matt the 12 vote headstart
+44 is so incredibly underrated imo, that album is still one of my favorites and I wish Mark would perform some of those songs now and days
That album is awesome
Album is incredible. The only problem is the single is the worst song imo
An honorable mention here I think David Draiman's device was one that kind of fell flat, his vocals are so unique that he could try really hard, but whatever he does is still going to sound a LOT like disturbed no matter what
I saw Device open for the Megadeth /Black Label Society tour about ten years ago and it SUCKED. No bass made for a really thin sound, and David's lack of charisma didn't do the set any favours either.
Will Swan's underrated Swancore projects that can make a whole concert on his side hustle bands alone. Imagine playing in Dance Gavin Dance, Sianvar, Secret Band, and Royal Coda in one sitting at one concert... .
And Mike Patton can make a whole festival just for his side projects
Yes! Although Royal Coda doesn't feel as much like a side project, it almost feels like Kurt Travis's band. (Even though it's not really)
Sounds unenjoyable as a musician
If you do a sequel, I’d add Isles & Glaciers and the sound of animals fighting. You could also add The Word Alive as Craig’s side project that became huge.
TSOAF is a good shout, what a fucking great band
That first TSOAF album is still in my top 10!
I&G is good but it is so hard to give a shit about Jonny Craig bands for me, even older Dance Gavin Dance. One of the few times I have a hard time separating the art from the artist.
“Damien” from Blur lol. Makes me think of how I used to call Willem Dafoe “William”
Hey Finn, great video. Maybe you could do a part 2 to this idea? Would love to see you talk about Oysterhead. Definitely one of the best (and most bizarre) shows I have ever seen live.
I loved murderdolls. It was just fun "cooler" version of misfits. I remember laughing so much because it was def a band I never could play out loud caz it was such dumb lyrics.
Me first is legit one of my favv bands.
A couple of interesting additions to this list could have been Maynard James Keenan's side projects: one the one hand, you have A Perfect Circle, a supergroup that achieved such level of sucess and artistry it almost rivaled Tool... and the you have Puscifer, where not even collaborations with Milla Jovovich managed to make it not suck.
I like Puscifer but I also wish he mentioned MJK!
bro how can you listen to Simultaneous and still tell me Puscifer sucks
Puscifer was damned interesting!
I love both Audioslave and Soundgarden.
R.I.P Chris Cornell.
Audioslave was the best RATM related band.
Boxcar Racer has got to be one of the best 1 off side project albums of all time
I remember I fell in love with the Murderdolls back when I was a kid. I was also a Slipknot fan and being that there wasn't google back then, it took me up until I was a teenager to realize that Joey was the guitarist. Still to this day 20 years later I still love them. I jam Murderdolls every once in a while and it takes me back to 5th grade lmao!
Bloodbath is probably the greatest supergroup of all time
END has to be one of my favorite side projects/supergroups. It features members of Misery Signals, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit For An Autopsy, and Counterparts.
NECESSARY DEEEAAAATHHHHH!!!!!
Velvet Revolver was actually fucking incredible. I still think I liked stp more, but that first album that vr put out was iconic. Rip Scott
still blast it to this day
Check out Secret Band - it’s basically Dance Gavin Dance with only harsh vocals.
Also, don’t forget the Rancid/Blink-182 crossover band, The Transplants. Don’t be put off by the ‘rap rock’ label because it’s not really representative of their sound
So many Swancore projects! Royal Coda, Nova Charisma, Pushover, and others.
Most Swancore bands are DGD side-projects or post-DGD projects hahaha
Great points about Blink. I do feel like their stuff with Matt was awesome though. Im grateful we got two albums with Matt rather than nothing without Tom just because Tom didn’t feel like being in the band. Tom’s latest Angels album was rad though!
I’m interested in what part of Tom Morello’s politics you don’t agree with? I’ve researched him a little bit (don’t know much about him other than the music) but was wondering about your take?
I have to say, that in prime time Damon Albarn and Blur make a great success - but in Europe. They wasn't well known at USA, but it was really well know in other places
Song 2 was big everywhere even the US
Love Corey Taylor but that reaction to his solo stuff was hilarious and totally correct :D
The Almost is another decent drummer side project. I don't think they got very big but loved the first album.
My favorite part of the Damnocracy thing was Sebastian Bach trying super hard to convince the guys that the band should be called SAVAGE ANIMAL! like it was the coolest band name to ever exist
It's a way better name than Damnocracy.
OMG, the comparison between Methods and Mayhem and a scene from the Fast and the Furious is spot on.
Although, you can't really have this list without talking about the myriad of projects (of varying quality) from Phil Anselmo .
You started to mention Audioslave, but didn't say what you thought of them. I'm curious as I loved the group. If you mention them in a previous video I'd love to watch
I was waiting to be triggered, honestly.
Great video man... As always! Can I suggest a video about new era grunge and alternative bands like Violent soho, Narrow Head, Soul Blind, Bugg, Superheaven etc etc? Would be cool to hear your opinion on those kids
Narrow Head is tremendous!
I remember watching Supergroup when it was coming on VH1 back in 2006 or so. Initially they were going to call the group Fist. Because, according to Sebastian, the five of them were like five powerful fingers coming together to form...a fist. Lots of laughs during that show.
I also remember a scene where Ted woke up the house with a rendition of the national anthem on his guitar. Classic VH1.
I just remember Sebastian Bach being obsessed with the band name SAVAGE ANIMAL
@@mrfarenheit0323 OMG YESSSSS and he was weirdly obsessed with making sure everybody knew he worked out every day.
@@jackalope_butchery YES and he spent a good half of the air time obsessing over being in a band with the nuge
A good example of a Supergroup is Killer Be Killed. Comprised of Max Cavalera, Troy Sanders & Greg Puciato
You spoke of Grohl but didn't mention his project Probot. Now is it is a side project or a super group? I mean look who's involved.
Dave Grohl - lead guitar, drums, bass, lead vocals
Kim Thayil - additional guitar (tracks 6, 11)

Max Cavalera - lead vocals (track 2)

Tom G. Warrior - lead vocals (track 8)
Denis "Snake" Bélanger - lead vocals (track 9)

Damnocracy really was “What if we make a band out of 5 guys who would’ve tried to kick each other’s asses in the 80s?”
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes was one of the best live shows I've been to. I was definitely surprised by how good they are.
I love that Chris Shiflett will still come out with them too.
@@biznatcho7 as a European think I've only seen Chris play with the gimmes a couple of times as Scott normally comes on the eurotours but I ain't complaining. Was pretty mad a couple years ago at groezrock when it was face to face, gimmes, and NUFAN and Scott played all 3 sets back to back lol. Also don't think I've seen fat mike play bass over here with them in an age but had some great replacements like the long stint of jay Bentley for a few years.
@@biznatcho7 true
I'm surprised you didn't mention DOWN (Crowbar, Pantera, Eyehategod, COC), definitely one of the most talented metal supergroups and their first album, NOLA, is an all-time sludge/stoner classic.
I've always enjoyed the gorillaz. The many collaborations on a single album makes each song sound fresh and interesting. The Humans album is a great example of this!
I loved the DRUGS album, and looking forward to the new album. I didn’t like chiodos either. At least not with Craig in it. I liked them for one album, and it was the album called illuminaudio
Joey Jordison had another metal project going, called "scar the martyr" - song suggestions:
"blood host" and
"soul disintegration"
Tommy Lee's band "methods of mayhem" released an album in 2010 called "a public disservice announcement", which is quite pleasing to listen and has some "hit potentials".
I’ve never listened to the 2nd Methods of Mayhem album but their 1st one is quite possibly the worst nu-metal album I’ve ever heard lol
Joey later had Vimic, and a true supergroup, Sinsaenum.
Angels & Airwaves were clearly heavily inspired by A Flock Of Seagulls self-titled album. Right down to the guitar sound and alien themed lyrics.
Not mentioning any of The Misfits side projects was extremely wise. The world would be a better place if we all managed to forget them.
What? Danzig and Samhain are awesome.
Well, you brought it up
@@m00k61 I don't really think of them as side projects - more continuations of Danzig's work. Pretty sure any crossover between the bands was short, if there was any cross over at all.
I was thinking more... Graves, Gotham Road, Dr Chud's X Ward and possibly worst of all.. Kryst The Conqueror.
Doyle probably gets a pass on "Doyle".
But yeah, if I'm including those bands then Samhain and Danzig are probably just as much side-projects as any of these are, and Samhain SLAPS.
@@Iyashikei-t4u Ironic, innit?
@@xneurianx oh I agree with that. I only know Doyle and Kryst. And yeah Kryst was godawful (pun intended lol). The Doyle stuff was catchy.
Velvet Revolver was sooooo good dude. My band in highschool used to cover their songs at our shows. Def crowd favorites.
That riff from the Velvet Revolver track inspired Weird Al’s song “My Own Eyes”, which parodies Foo Fighters’ style
Id love to see a Part 2 of this. Great video!!
Yeah definitely... belladonna,, temple of the dog,, the raconteurs,, the transplants, p.i.l.,,The nightwatchman, infectious grooves.. if you include solo albums, it's an hours discussion..
Dave Grohl's Probot was one of the best rock albums in the last 20 years
Dave Grohl Does Other Genres is my favorite side of him, from hippie disco to stoner sludge
one supergroup that i loved was Isles & glaciers, the album is a post hardcore gem
I love Johnny I love vic and Craig is cool but they didn't hit for me
Great video, really enjoyed it!
It's Damon, not Damien Albarn from Blur/Gorillaz though.
Out of all the videos I've watched from you over the years I have never heard such heresy spoken! You DON'T like Gorillaz music? I mean come ON. They are definitely a very experimental band who is constantly changing their sound and pulling in artists from all over the world to do collabs with them and it works. I mean they're not all bangers, but if you actually take time to smoke a bowl and relax to some of their music you'd be really surprised.
They got their newest series out called song machine and some of it is pretty wack like the Elton John thing they did, but they had one really weird song called, "Desolé" that was for lack of a better word, "beautiful".
You got the same keyboard and relaxed vocals from 2D, and then some crazy chick from Africa hops in and starts singing and it's almost enough to bring a tear to your eye.
united nations was a good “supergroup.” i remember chatting with chree from #12 back in the aim days and he told me about that project. after so many years it finally happened but chree was no longer in it(to my knowledge)
I was talking with Geoff of Thursday last year about United Nations and he even gave me a free shirt!
@@timoratus_music damn that’s tight, dawgy!
Stormtroopers of Death
Enjoyed this a lot but couldn't get over "Damian" Albarn
I absolutely resented angels and airwaves because I felt like that’s why my favorite band broke up. But around 2015 I finally caved and they shot straight up to my 2nd favorite band. Dying to see them live
for next time: Art of Anarchey (Big names in the rock and metal scene), Dreamcar (Davey Havok + No doubt band), Outer Glow // ShYbeast (I see stars vocalists) We Are Harlot (that time when Danny Warsnop quit Asking to do country rock or something like that), you could talk about Attack Attack! and how many bands that's turned into with the revival of the band it'self as well.
just some ideas :) Thanks for the video!
