The Great Cardinal Martin writes in to us about SuperGroups and all the men he wants to play with.

From Cardinal Martin:

I've been a wee bit bored today. I've got all my bids sent out, all my work scheduled, and all my punches complete. My extreme level of efficiency has left me with nothing to do.

Out of this boredom arose some Spotify searches. And from those searches arose some new playlists. And in those playlists are some supergroups like Bad Company, Blind Faith, Damn Yankees, and The Power Station.

This got my brain a’spinnin and my wheels a’turnin.


Who would be in my supergroup?
I'll tell you who.

Let’s start with the front man.
Or in my case….. Front Men.

Twin vocal powerhouses Chris Cornell and Sebastian Bach. My supergroup is going to be hard rock and I need some boys with the pipes to keep up. If it gets too much for one of them, the other is always there to belt out the tunes.

Now onto the rhythm section.

On bass guitar…. Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. I don’t want anything fancy. No plucking and no slapping. Strictly metal and hard rock. The man on the bass needs to know his place.

On drums…. Styx Zadinia from Steel Panther. Drummers have a tendency to be combustible and explode too much so I need someone who can bring the thunder like the hammer of Thor but can withstand the punishment of rocking/drinking/drugging/sexing on a nightly basis. Plus, he has a great name.

Here’s where it gets saucy. The guitar. The true workhorse of a good rock band. And therefore I have elected to go with the three guitar attack a la Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I need some solid power chord downstrummin’ and I have chosen Malcolm Young from ACDC to play rhythm guitar. The man can't play a solo and I don’t need him to. Great Hair. It should be known that no one can be in this band unless they have great hair. Thus, I cannot be in my own supergroup.

Lead guitarist 1 -  Randy Rhoads from Ozzy Osbourne. A Rock Guitar God. And great hair.

Lead guitarist 2 – Slash. His only job is to get as drunk as possible and stand on stage in his well known wide stance with his hair and top hat concealing his face and rip out some hot tasty licks that will melt your face.

Now I ask you, EPPDF, who would be in your seafaring supergroup?
