What do people think of collaborations between artists, often from different genres? For example, the recent news that one of the Foo's tracks on their new album was recorded with Norah Jones:

Quote

One of the special guests on the upcoming Foo Fighters album 'In Your Honor' is jazz star Norah Jones.

Jones will sing alongside Dave Grohl on the track 'Virginia Moon'. The track is something completely different for Foo Fighters. It is described as having a jazzy, bossa-nova feel.

The Foo Fighters album will be a double disc. Disc one featuring rock and disc two featuring a softer, acoustic style.

Norah will guest on the second disc.

Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones features on disc one on the track 'Miracle'. Jones also recently worked with New Zealand's The Datsuns on their second album.

'Best of You' will be the first single from the album. It is the opening track on the rock disc.

'In Your Honor' will be released on June 13.

I dunno, some are good, some are just shit, it depends who you put with who. You can mix lod bands to get good new ones, bu t hen again, when some artisits team up, it's just a big clash of egos

I love collabarations. If they don't work, so what? Ignore it. Although in rock, it's more a few members of different bands coming together or guest vocalist or soemthing. Of these my fav is Maynard of Tool, Tom and Brad of RATM, the bassist of FNM covering Kiss's Calling Dr Love.

One collaboration that somehow worked magically is Liquid Tension Experiment. John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy (both of dream thaeter), tony levin (king crimson), jordan rudess (then Dixie Dregs).

although all musical geniuses, only mike portnoy is a control freak. the rest of the band are quite humble and mike can therefore have all the control he wants.

sadly we wont have another album though... cuz jordan joined dream theater.

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is to guest on the Carlos Santana’s new album.

Hammett is just one of a host of artists featuring on tracks on ‘All That I Am’, pencilled in for release on September 13, reports Blabbermouth.

The Metallica guitarist had hooked up with Santana three years ago at a live show in Los Angeles.

Santana also worked with Hammett’s band in 2002 while they were working on their album ‘St Anger’.

It depends whats classed as a collaboration.

I have plenty of split EPs, remixes, and 'supergroup' concept albums.. but theyre more single artists messing around with each others work, or coming together for projects, rather than whole bands sitting down together to compose something.

Collision Course was a piece of crap, even beyond the fact that the collision was two piles of shit. It's stupid with the happyness of Jay-Z's backbeats with Linkin Park's angsty 'oh no-one loves me' lyrics. The best example of this is the Big Pimpin mix. Anyway, don't Linkin Park have enough rapping, and why does Mike Shinoda suck JayZ's cock off?

because it's so big

does anyone else find it ironic that so many people hate linkin park because they sing about how much everyone hates them?

I liked the Foo Fighters collaborations, and in general I think the work pretty well.
