A waste of talent

I like supergroups. For me it started with bands like Cream. They were at the time a real supergroup. Today we have bands like Rush and Dream Theater but this post is about the bands in between.

Im talking about bands like Van Halen and Extreme. These bands are no more but i consider them as a waste of talent. Nunu Bettencourt is one of the best guitarists in the world, and u actually like Gary Cherone voice but the music is… well crap.
With that much talent in a band you should be able to write better music?

The same with Van Halen. All the musicians are among the best in the world but most of the song are… well crap.

Ok, I may be wrong, maybe I just dont understand their musical vision or something like that, but I still think tha most of the music is crap.

But man, Eddie and Nunu can play :)

Arena Rock

I must admit, I miss arena rock…

I dont mean like Bon Jovi and stuff like that I mean the real stuff. Like Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Blue Oyster Cult and Journey. When it was a boombastic sound that made it and not cheesy pyrotechnichs and wierd outfits like Slipknot. I would give almost anything to hear Wayards son or Dont fear the reaper live
Im to young to have been a part of the development of heavy metal in the 60-70. I may have gotten a bit of topic here but what if you could go back in tima and see the early years of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin just to see how the Arena Rock developed. That would have been a great Journey.
