New Supergroup!!!!

It's already on my short list.

It's gonna flounder like all Hughes projects. He's a great singer and bass player, but unstable in any permanent group line up. Having played in DP Mk III does that to you I guess.

When I hear Bonamassa, btw, I hear quite a bit of seventies Blackmore in him. That is probably why I liked his last solo album so much.

i guess the term supergroup does not mean what it once did.

I saw Bonamassa last summer in Denver at an outdoors concert - he was very good, and definitely channeled SRV a good bit of the time.,,but it was a BB King blues tour.

I saw Bonamassa live a few years ago. Every single song featured an extended guitar solo. Where a song would've normally been less than 4 minutes it now became a 15 minute long ordeal of geetard auto-fellatio. The man is a virtuoso guitar player, but he needs a good producer to keep him on track.

... a 15 minute long ordeal of geetard auto-fellatio..

I'll have to remember that line.

Just as Chickenfoot was the best new band of old fokks in 2009, these guys might win a Grammy for Best New Artist of 2010. heh

Interesting that Glenn used to work with Chad of Chickenfoot, huh?

Dig the new do. ha haaa Glenn is tryin' to look like a young lad.

Chad Smith and Glenn Hughes worked a lot together.  If anyone remembers the events of Kevin DuBrow's death, it was Hughes that called the police, fearing something had happened to him.  Chad and Glenn were at Glenn's house, waiting for Kevin to join them for a Thanksgiving dinner.
I first saw Chad Smith in a Michigan club band called Toby Redd.

A guy I went to high school with, who was the hottest guitar player around when we were young tadpoles, used to play with Tobey Redd. I saw him  year or so ago in a band called the Teraplanes and he's still sounding great. Tobey Redd was a pretty hot band. Thanks for the memory

That is a great Mistreated version and quintessential for Hughes ... the way he holds the bass at 45 degrees, the posing, the noisy slides and sudden outbursts of upper fretboard notes, the rhythmically accentuated playing, the falsetto screams he can do pitch-perfect. You either love it or you think it is completely overdone (no need to comment, Dave, ok?). Today, I tend towards the former, but there are days when I find Glenn a bit too much cherry pie.

Bonamassa's playing is amost a bit too reverential on this. He's obviously heard his share of Blackmore. Mistreated is a simplistic riff, but very few guitarists get that pained groove of it right. He does.

I think Joe will be playing with the Less Is More guideline in Black Country, & he's stated in interviews that the emphasis is on ROCK not Blues in this band.
I'm sure Hughes will bring some Funk into the mix, but hopefully not too much.
Jason deserves to be in a band of his own again since he's filled in for other drummers for so long, playing in UFO, Foreigner, & his dad's band.
I really LOVED his band BONHAM & got to be Front Row Center with one of my hottest girlfriends ever for one of their shows.
Derek Sherinian has proved himself by playing in DreamTheater & Planet X but he'll be glad I'm sure too if this band is successful enuf to stay together for a good long while.
They certainly are a Supergroup & I'm sure they'll give us at least one great album like Blind Faith did, but I'm hopin' they'll keep on Rockin' together after that & produce several albums of great songs & music!!
