10 Greatest Supergroups In Rock History

10. The Damned Things

Part of the challenge that comes with supergroups is trying to find just the right musicians that are able to gel together. If you don't have people with at least some kind of overarching thread, any potential that they may have will go down the drain if there's isn't that much chemistry. Even though the Damned Things' previous acts are miles apart though, everything makes sense when they're together.

Bringing in members from Every Time I Die, this band definitely have some chops for some heavy stuff, but the ones who really step up to the plate here are the members of Fall Out Boy. Though the pop punk act that we know is typically Pete Wentz' outfit, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley have some real thunder coming from their instruments, which is a shame that they are normally stifled into standard playing in their own band.

As if to put the icing on the cake though, you have Scott Ian from Anthrax, bringing his batsh*t insane rhythm guitar playing into the mix and giving the band a shot of energy. Though the actual music tends to fall into your standard sleazy rock and roll outfit, this is definitely a change of pace than what we're used to. Hell, it's refreshing to at least see all of these guys are able to earn their road stripes across two completely different styles of rock music.
