Contraband is a pretty kick ass cd, Lechium. And Audioslave was good too. They were also quite awesome live, and I'm hoping Velvet Revolver are too.

Alterbridge isn't in the same category though. While he may be a good singer (I dont know) this Myles fellow doesn't really have the same auroa about him as say, Chris Cornell or Scott Weiland.

But band members swapping and creating new bands isn't a new thing.

or Scott Stapp......

Just grow up sucker!!

i don't think we're witnessing music history. sure the bands are good, if not great. but there've been supergroups before. and, at any rate, Alter Bridge is a lesser supergroup when compared to Audioslave or VR. Soudgarden and Rage or GN'R and STP vs. Creed and M4? No question about it, the first four bands are all immaculate and awesome, etc, etc, etc. I'm not denying that Alter Bridge is gonna be awesome, but this just ain't music history.

Guys, what I meant was...look at whats happening. These bands: Creed, Guns 'n Roses, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine -- we are witnessing an evolution in our music scene RIGHT NOW. That was the point of this thread...to bring attention that we are witnessing something that really doesn't happen all the time. I think it's so cool to watch this happen.

But it DOES happen all the time, like it did with those 5 other bands

Hah :rolleyes:
