    How about Golden Smog? Alt-Country supergroup.

    Members of the Replacements, Jayhawks, Wilco, Soul Asylum, Soul Asylum, and Big Star have been in it over the years. The one tour I saw had both Gary Louris (Jayhawks) and Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) on it, and was a great show
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    That is a good one. I never thought the music was as good as i wanted it to be though. I liked it, but i thought it would have been even better.

  • i always thought cleveland was the mistake on the lake? i mean, we did manage to set fire to WATER once.

    i might have to change my answer to the gutter twin too... dont know how i forgot them!

    That was only a couple of times in the 60's and 70's and it got blown waayyyyyyy out of proportion. It's actually funny, we just covered how it was a common theme in the 70's to blow environmental problems way out of proportion to show how the counterculture movement and general liberalism was causing a decline in America and how America should flow back towards a tight knit nuclear family with a breadwinning father and a stay at home mother in my 1970's history class. Apparently because women were leaving the home to pursue jobs rivers were lighting on fire.

    Anyways, the way I see it is, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Detroit have limited natural harbors on the lake and managed to become booming industrial cities, where Erie has an absolutely beautiful natural harbor in Presque Isle, yet failed to become a center for industry like its rust belt counterparts.

    That's my understanding, anyways. Nowadays pretty much any city in the rust belt is a mistake. Nothing but closed factories and cold air.
    If hope can grow from dirt like me ...

  • Holy shit, how did I forget about The Gutter Twins?? Damn I'm embarassed now; Lanegan could be considered an all time fav singer of mine. I looked over a group that I saw twice last year - AND they were excellent live! Dumbass! :oops:

    Also, honorable mention goes to A Perfect Circle as well.

    ironic becos the guys responsible for rivers catching fire were probably the same guys trying so hard to keep their wives at home. if your wife's no longer ok with being your domestic sex slave, you've got to find something else to fuck i guess, and mother nature was right there...

    given the state of buffalo, detroit, and cleveland, erie might have chosen wisely. rust belt is right.

    Favorite group:  Hmmm, tough one.  I'll have to go with Neil Young and Crazy Horse

    Favorite supergroup:  There has been a bit of debate here as to what makes a super group, so I thought I would defer to Wikipedia's list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_supergroups#List_of_groups).  But then I noticed that there are no jazz groups on that list.  WHAT?  That is an egregious error.  There have been many amazing jazz groups that, according to Wikipedia's definition of a super group: "A supergroup is a musical performing group whose members have successful solo careers, are members of other groups, or are well known in other musical professions" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergroup_(music) ) , should definitely be included as supergroups. 

    So all that said, I will go with Sun Ra and the Solar Arkestra.  Despite Ra having returned to his native Saturn, that band still performs under the leadership (at the ripe age of 96!) of longtime veteran Arkestra member Marshall Allen.  The Arkestra has had at lest 44 members over the years, probably several more, but I can't find a definitive list.

    Heard this song by L.A. Rats on the radio and I was thinking this sounds a lot like Rob Zombie. Surely enough it was a side project along with Nikki Sixx, John 5 and Tommy Clufetos.
