The Damned Things were a heavy metal supergroup consisting of Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Rob Caggiano of Volbeat (formerly of Anthrax) and Keith Buckley and Josh Newton of Every Time I Die. The band's name is inspired by the lyrics in Ram Jam's 1977 version of "Black Betty".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jambase.com/Artists/79048/The-Damned-Things/Bio )〕 The band is currently on an indefinite hiatus; all members are now working with their original bands. ==History== In 2008, Joe Trohman and Scott Ian met and began writing music together.
