If the DeLeos and Kretz were to form a supergroup...

[CoconutBackwards]

Two names I'd like to see play with the STP guys, Anthony Kiedis and Brent Smith(shinedown).

I always love the lyrical journey's Anthony can take you on with a song... and with Brent, the dude can simply whale out some vocals...

"Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone,ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad,"

"Move over dad 'cause I'm a double dipple
Upside down on th big dip dipper
1,2,1,2,3 I?ve got a ticket come ride with me
Let me go down on the marry-go-round
All is fair 'n' a big fair ground
Let's go slow. let's go fast
Like a liqourice twist gonna whip your ass.


No thanks.

That's hilarious. That first line you mentioned is something of a vocal solo I would call it. There's no one like kiedis... When listening to that song, it even flows and just gives it some more vibe. The dude can have fun and can be serious as anything with his storytelling. Even if there are a handful of lyrics that could make your eyes roll from him...for every song like that there are a handful of songs which are just mesmerizing in so many beatiful ways, soul to squeeze is such a piece. If you would have listed the rest of those lyrics you would have made my point.

I'll just name that one for a quick example.

"Soul to Squeeze" is the lyrical journey that first lyric I pasted came from. 


5000 more songs about California and what's left?  I feel saying his lyrics mesmerize in beautiful ways is a very "IMO" statement.

[seattlesound]

Yeah if you would have posted the rest of those lyrics, my point is made. You took one line from the song where in my opinion he is adding some flavor to the song. Another line in there, I'm on a rollercoaster but I'm on my feet... Dude that shit is good.

Either way, we are just going to end up arguing over something that was just my opinion in the first place. A very IMO statement?.. This is a message board, everything posted by someone is a IMO statement.

Scott has his bad moments too. Like in Between the Lines when he rhymes the word "drugs"with "drugs". Kiedis can write some interesting stuff when he wants too, like the end of Death of A Martian.

She's got sword in case
Tho this is not her lord in case
The one who can't afford to face
Her image is restored to grace.

Disappeared.
No trace.
Musky tears.
Suitcase.

The down turn brave
Little burn cub bear careless turnip snare
Rampages pitch color pages...
Down and out but not in Vegas.
Disembarks and disengages.
No loft.

Sweet pink canary cages plummet pop dew skin fortitude
For the sniffing black noses that snort and allude
To dangling trinkets that mimic the dirt cough go drink its.
It's for you.

Blue battered naval town slip kisses delivered by duck
Muscles and bottle-nosed grifters arrive in time to catch the late show.
It's a beehive barrel race.
A she hive stare and chase wasted feature who tried and failed to reach her.
Embossed beneath a box in the closet that's lost.
The kind that you find when you mind your own business.
Shiv sister to the quickness before it blisters into the new morning milk blanket.
Your ilk is funny to the turnstile touch bunny whose bouquet set a course for bloom without decay.
Get your broom and sweep the echoes of yesternights fallen freckles... away...)

Chris Robinson or Josh Todd

JOSH TODD? Wow! We're really throwin' some far out names in the hat now. I'm a fan of Buckcherry but holy cow, I can't see Todd working (successfully) with STP. He seems to be having enough trouble with Buckcherry, but then again, maybe that's why it isn't a bad idea. Still, never thought he'd get brought up.

Robert's the only guy I can think of who could maybe pull another good album out of them not named Eric Avery.

Disagree 100%.

Not the fact that Robert can't pull a great record out of them, but Strays and Great Escape... were both good records, especially the latter. It's not 1990 Janes, but of course it's not...

I agree. I enjoy both of those records and Chris Chaney who played on 'Strays' and tours with them is an awesome bassist. They're unlikely to ever top the greatness of their first 2 studio albums but the same goes for a lot of the bands from the 80's and 90's who are still around, most of them can't top their earlier records. As long as they're still putting out new and interesting music then I'll always check it out.
As for Anthony Kiedis, I was a huge RHCP fan in the 90's and would've been interested in what that Anthony Kiedis couldve brought to the Deleo's music but post 2000 they became less and less interesting to me and more 'pop' with each record. John's backing/ co lead vocals on nearly every goddamn song started to annoy me too tbh.

As for a list of singers for a dream supergroup with the Deleo's and Kretz, some I'd like to hear them work with would be:

Mike Patton
Whitfield Crane
Liam Gallagher
Damon Albarn
Brandon Boyd
Chris Cornell
Mark Lannegan
Richard Patrick (for another AOA album)

They're some of my favourite current singer/songwriters in rock, I think any of them could create an interesting album with the boys as a side project, NOT as STP.

Chaney's a great bassist but he doesn't really contribute songwriting wise.  I liked Strays, but not TGEA, that record was awful.

I think I dig TGEA slightly more than 'Strays' personally. Dave's guitar playing is toned down somewhat but there's some really interesting sounds on that album. I enjoy every song on there.
'Strays' had some great songs like 'To Match The Sun' and 'Just Because' and awesome guitar work from Dave but then it had a few songs I always skip like 'Wrong Girl' and 'Hypersonic'.
Different tastes I guess.

I enjoyed their freebie 2-fer that they did with Trent Reznor in 2009, but even though they were old songs, it was evident that, with Avery, they weren't breaking new ground.
I can see where someone would dislike TGEA, but having followed Perry (in and out of Jane's) over the years, I love how they pushed themselves on that. I credit David Sitek with that. They went in to make an album that was more than just "a band in a room" - which is probably why Duff didn't stick around.

I would welcome another record equally different.

Back to the topic at hand, if we're talking an non-STP group, I sincerely would have loved to hear what they would have done with Chris Robinson. It's just too bad that ship has sailed.

[Blue]

My ultimate 90s supergroup would be:

Vocals: Mark Lanegan
Guitar: Mike McCready
Bass: Robert DeLeo
Drums: Matt Cameron

Maybe throw Dean in there and have him and Mike play dual leads.

[CagedTiger]

I think this would've been a great supergroup side project if they'd have released an album together in say, 1995 - 2000.

Vocals - Scott Weiland
Guitar - Dave Navarro
Guitar - Slash
Bass - Flea
Drums - Ray Luzier

All star lineup right there, talent galore!

Wow! This lineup does look interesting. I am new to the site if I look unfamiliar, but yeah, I'd definitely be down for this if it had been.

Welcome to the boards!
I've thought more about my dream lineup and I would be prepared to trade Ray Luzier on drums for Jimmy Chamberlain from Smashing Pumpkins, that guy is a beast on the kit too.
