Episode 147
Aaron and Brent look at two different supergroups: one that features members of Dream Theater and Mr. Big while the other combined musicians from Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, and AC/DC.
Formed under an agreement to serve their songs first rather than showboat their own chops, Aaron highlights three songs from the Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan and Mike Portnoy trio, The Winery Dogs.
Giving them both an opportunity to play music again after the demise of their previous bands, Brent spotlights three songs from the Paul Rodgers/Jimmy Page project The Firm.
