Anybody else watch this tonight? It looks like it's going to be pretty good. The show, not necessarily the group... I thought Nugent would be the one causing problems but it looks like the Biohazard dude is the one that's going to be playing that role. He's already threatened to kick the sound engineer's ass. From the season preview at the end of the show, it looks like Bach is going to have a drinking problem and the Biohazard dude is going to kick his ass and leave the band. I'm looking forward to it. Now, if only VH1 would bring back Bands On The Run...
http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/supergroup/series_characters.jhtml Sebastian Bach The onetime frontman for hair-metal hitmakers Skid Row, singer Sebastian Bach was born Sebastian Bierk in the Bahamas on April 3, 1968. The big break hit after signing to Atlantic. Skid Row issued its self-titled debut album in 1989 and earned an opening slot on Bon Jovi's U.S. tour, combined with heavy MTV airplay of the video "Youth Gone Wild," launched the band to stardom, and the singles "18 and Life" and "I Remember You" both reached the Top Ten. Jason Bonham When your father is drummer John Bonham, one of the original members of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin, music comes easily. When his father died, Jason took his place in a televised, first ever, Led Zeppelin reunion that included Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones. Jason went on to tour with Page, and to record the album, Outrider, with him. By 1990, Jason Bonham completed a solo debut album called The Disregard of Timekeeping. One of the tracks from this first effort, "Wait for You," earned him a gold record. In between session gigs, Jason currently puts time and effort into another band of his own, the Jason Bonham Band. Ted Nugent Throughout his lengthy career, guitar wildman and Detroit born Ted Nugent has reveled in the controversy and criticism. It wasn't until the formation of the Amboy Dukes that "the Nuge" got his first taste of stardom. Most famous for anthems, and his standing as one of rock's top live acts. His nonmusical endeavors have caused the most condemnation such as his pro-right wing beliefs, pro-gun advocacy, appreciation of hunting animals, etc. But by the same token, Nugent is a family man and one of the few hard rockers who has admirably stuck by his lifelong anti-drugs and -drink stance throughout his career. Scott Ian Scott "Not" Ian (stage name of Scott Ian Rosenfeld, born December 31, 1963) is the rhythm guitarist for the metal band Anthrax and a former guitarist for the crossover band Stormtroopers of Death. Scott is one of the most influential guitar players to come out of the 1980s. He has hosted The Rock Show on VH1 and has appeared on VH1's I Love The 70's/80's/90's. He is married to singer Pearl Aday, daughter of Meat Loaf. Evan Seinfeld Brooklyn born bassist and vocalist Evan Seinfeld started the band Biohazard in 1988. They were one of the first bands to regularly incorporate elements of both hip-hop and hardcore metal into their sound; since their lyrical fare dealt with the harshness of urban life.
Man, this show has alot of potential. All they have to do is get rid of Evan Seinfeld and then the band will be perfect. The guy's a putz with a crappy tv show and a worthless band. His only good accomplishment is marrying the delectable Tera Patrick, and he's trying to ruin her career too.
The big problem is that while all of the guys can be considered "metal", they're different types. I'd hardly put Anthrax and Ted Nugent as the same style of music. I can see 3/5 the band wanting to do heavy stuff in the style of Zeppelin while 2/5 are geared more towards speed stuff. I wanted the sound guy to kick Seinfeld's ass.
True, but the Anthrax guy seems pretty open minded. I've seen him on some of those VH1 shows commenting on other bands and he's pretty knowledgable. He seems to be a rock fan as well as a musician. The Biohazard dude is the only guy that seems to be a control freak. I'm surprised Ted was so laid back about it all, given his reputation as being hard to work with. He actually seems pretty open to it all. I thought it was pretty funny when they showed him with the plunger in the bathroom while everyone else was at the strip bar.
Good point. I'm a big Scott Ian/Anthrax fan. Anytime Chuck D gives you a seal of approval, you're cool in my book.
