It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's SUPERGROUP
Five Rock Legends band together to make a VH1 reality show and play a gig without pissing of loyal fans. Good luck, boys.

Describe your first reaction to your new band mates.
Bach: I was stoked when i saw Scott, because he's fucking killer. But when I saw Ted I fell right the fuck down-never in a million years could i fathom being in a band with him.
Ian: I kind of thought that Sebastian was in it, but in the back of my head I wondered, What if it's Rob Halford?
Seinfeld: When they said I wouldn't be singing. I thought the singer had better be pretty fucking good. And when Sebastian Bach walked in I had nothing to say- he was just born with a bigger gun.
Ian: I've met everybody from every metal band of the past 20 years, and I didn't recognize the guy behind the drum kit at all.
Bonham: Nobody does. I've shaved my head, and I'm like, 40 pounds lighter.
What do you think of the name Supergroup?
Nugent: It offends me on all intellectual levels, but I'm the eternal optimist. I will find gold in your shit. I have faith in Vh1..Did I just "faith" and "vh1" in the same sentence?
Ian: From age 11 to age 15, Nugent and Kiss and Cheap Trick basically ruled my life. Those four years flew through my head as I tried to comprehend the fact I'm playing in a band and living in a house with Ted Nugent for two weeks.
Bach: Me? i don't want to say anything to Ted, because he's Ted Fucking Nugent.
Seinfeld: Sebastian's such a fan he can't even function. I had to slap him the other day. Sebastian stop! He wanted to do all Ted Nugent covers. He pulls me aside twice a day and says "I'm getting better about being in awe of Ted thing."
Nugent: Aw, that's cute. I hope our camaras are picking up some of these Ted adorations.
Describe the sound you guys are going for.
Bach: It's gonna be loud and clear mothertrucka.
Seinfeld: Sebastian wants to make this a heavy metal band. And I'm like, "no, dude, let's be Zeppelin reunited, they would want us to open for them."
Nugent: Obnoxious, guttural, voluminous, sexy
Ian: I'm gonna have to drag Ted into my world a bit. We can't just sound like Nugent.
What's the goal of this show? Your already famous.
Bach: A concert, but we're also recording. There's no producer here, but we're doing demos.
Seinfeld: We haven't been taking that playing a show part very seriously. Collectively, we've all been on tour for probably 100 years-just put us up there and we'll get it done.
Nugent: We'll put something together, but how wonderful remains to be seen. It could be dazzling or just cute as hell. But even if its cute as hell, how can you go wrong with that? I've built a careerout of that loincloth and all.
Are you guys getting along?
Bonham: Yeah. But that's probably not what Vh1 wanted. I think they wanted us all to have a big falling out.
Ian: My attitude going into this is that it's summer camp with guitars. If something comes out of it, that's just added to the fact that I hung out in some fucking retarded house in Vegas for two weeks on VH1's dime. It was fun to make a rider of the most over the top list of stuff and have them call up and say "Everything you wanted is there."
Nugent: I can't gush enough about what Evan and Scott and Jason and Sebastian bring to this and believe me I don't suck dick. It sounds like i'm sucking dick but I ain't sucking dick. They're just greasballs of intregrity. This collaboration is genuinely moving.
Dude something has to suck?
Seiinfeld: They only downside is that I've been throwing a rock n roll party every night and Ted Nugent has dinner, burps for an hour, cleans his guns and goes to bed at 7:30.
Bach: Last night they went out partying... I couldn't do it. I have to be on top of my game
Seinfeld: I thought Sebastian would be the troublemaker, but I'm the guy going "Sebastian, if you don't go with me on strip club crawl tonight, your a pussy."
Nugent: When we go to to topless bars I drop them off and tell them to be in in before they turn into pumpkins.
Seinfeld: I was thinking last night I'm going to miss these guys. I Bonded with fucking Ted Nugent at Bass Pro Shops. I had the best time shooting arrows with him and taking a tour of the gun room.
Bach: Yeah on the last day of all this-and I hope there isn't a last day-I'm going to be a blubbering mess.
