Sounds interesting but these "supergroup" side projects usually end up being kinda "meh."

Curious to check it out.

Sounds good on paper! But if the songwriting isn’t up to snuff, it’s another hyped waste of time.

Sounds interesting, but I feel the same as most of you. Supergroups usually suck, so I’ll definitely be listening to some songs first before I buy this. Love the band members though, hopefully it’s a good album.

There have been worse names for metal bands, The Poodles, Pink Cream 69, Four Star Revival, A.C. (google what that name stands for, but be warned it's NSFW), and oh yeah, Rainbow. None of those band names sound very "metal" to me.

How do you even chant that name in a concert? Should have just called it Weapon.

It's like they were out of ideas when they went with such awful name.

The name “Elegant Weapons” reminds me of Velvet Revolver.
