Supergroup on VH-1 is the best show, even though the stars suck

You're a better man than I, Uri. Hearing him cry and watching him hug Doc Magee, repeatedly saying "I love you" and variations of thereof made my thumb jerk on the channel changer. The series crashed and burned the first week, making everyone look like a fool. The only person spared was Jason Bonham who left to do some lame Foreigner reunion gig even the original drummer is too embarrassed to do. Ted Nugent in a Hawaiian grandpop shirt makes me flinch. I love the man but there's a limit.

Sebastian Bach was an intelligent, opinionated man who was an acquired taste. To see him act the broken down wretch on a trivial VH1 show is horrid. A minute and a half was more than enough. I don't enjoy watching the wings being pulled off flies.

"Sebastian Back" ..fucking genious, that Ken.

Dude didn't really care what the band was called as long as he thought of the name. Godwar was pretty dumb too, though.

looks like one of the runty baldheads is beating Bach in the upcoming episode, ohboy

Yeah, it's Evan Seinfeld decking Bach in the preview. Can't wait.

Speaking of Sebastian Bach assholism, does anyone else remember that dickish letter Rolling Stone published from him right after and regarding Kurt Cobain's suicide? I was looking for it online but came up empty.

Yeah, isn't it great to be festive, gleeful and make money over the plight of a raging alcholic? It's Bum Fights except the bums don't have bum fights tattoo'd on their foreheads for a case of beer. It costs more -- a couple weeks in a fancy digs in Las Vegas.

I've caught excerpts of the entire thing and even those leave you soiled. A fistfight is as predictable as garbage rotting in the sun. What a treat, Mr. Can't Wait!

like they're all mortified to be there, with this guy

And they don't bail. Anyone with an ounce of self-respect would. But Bonham's son abandoned his years ago when he decided to squeeze every penny possible out of his surname. Check him out in the "Rock Star" DVD and past photos. He's a poster boy for plastic surgery, looking younger than his dad when the man croaked.

That said, that show was too much trainwreck. Bonham lost it for me when he wasn't even willing to listen to suggestions on how to make his drumming sound less Freedom Rock. "Bonham doesn't do punk," he says.

And yeah, that song they turned in was shitty and not even Darkness funny shitty.

Although rarely is anything under $8 in the slightest bit good. Boone's Farm is $4/bottle isn't it? This $2 Trader Joe thing seems like a rare steal.

trader joe's sells some VERY good under-$5s, but they're the exception. and wine @ west coast trader joe's is usu. a few bucks cheaper than east coast trader joe's, so what you get for $4 here goes for $7 or $8 back east. you just have to know what you're buying.

jason bonham never played for the Who (and, lord willing, never will). you might be thinking of zak starkey. he's ringo starr's son and far more powerful and nuanced a drummer than jason bonham can ever hope to be. he also gets bonus points for not forming a band called "Starr."

that was zak starkey too. he also was with oasis for the better part of a year. despite those two strikes against him, he is unbelievable with the who.

I gues he played for the opener, then, who was Robert Plant. That makes sense, of course, but I sort of thought he played with both, or that, he definitely played with The Who. But, now that I'm thinking about it, I have no idea. The Who had a different bass player, I know that much.
