Awesome!quote:According to Antiquiet, Dave Grohl told Mojo magazine in 2005, "The next project that I'm trying to initiate involves me on drums, [Queens of the Stone Age's] Josh Homme on guitar, and [Led Zeppelin's] John Paul Jones playing bass. That's the next album. That wouldn’t suck."
Four years and hundreds of rumors later, it seems like this no-qualifier-necessary, cap-S Supergroup is ready for its close-up. They've got a name: Them Crooked Vultures. (Via Antiquiet.) There's an oh-so-cryptic show listing for a post-Lollapalooza midnight gig this Sunday, August 9, at Chicago's Metro that features symbols for the Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, and Queens of the Stone Age. And there's also an official-looking website that links to Them Crooked Vultures hubs on MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. The Twitter lists Them Crooked Vultures' bio as "Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones." Super and online friendly!
While a fall tour and new album are currently being whispered about, official spokespeople are keeping mum about Them Crooked Vultures at press time.

15000 views en ze geven ons een lijst. Ik denk dat het een lijst met tourdata is.
De show op zondag wordt live gestreamd. Waar? Ik zou het niet weten.
Lijkt me een fake, net als die teaserfilmpjes die eerder verschenen. Dat was namelijk gespam voor een bandje van een gast.quote:Op zaterdag 8 augustus 2009 23:21 schreef frame-saw het volgende:

Nee, het komt over alsof het een bijzonder filmpje is. (Het enige wat je kon vinden). Wat ik bedoel: er is genoeg materiaal van Grohl samen met Homme.quote:Op zondag 9 augustus 2009 16:11 schreef Manono het volgende:

Dat is de stijl van grohl niet, en niet de stijl van homme.
En als het wel waar is ben ik erg teleurgesteld.

quote:We’ve Been Hoaxed!
Here’s the good news: Them Crooked Vultures are in fact playing the previously reported show at the Metro in Chicago this sunday. They do in fact plan to tour very soon; we’ve confirmed immediate plans with an opening act we can’t announce yet. Their album is in fact coming very soon.
Here’s the totally fucked up news: The promo poster and YouTube clip we presented yesterday are fake; both seem to be part of an elaborate hoax staged by that kid wax on the Rekords Rekords forum, who may or may not be part of a band called Dirk Diggler And The 12 Dwarves. We’d link to their MySpace with the song from the promo video, but fuck them.
So the release date is not necessarily October 23rd. The album title is not Never Deserved The Future. Also, wax and his buddies are a bunch of testicle eaters.

Chicago Tribunequote:Concert review: Them Crooked Vultures at Metro
The term “super group” gets thrown around way too often in rock, but in the case of Them Crooked Vultures, it applies.
The group consists of the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme on guitar, and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones on bass and keyboards. The trio made its international debut and capped off Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago with a 75-minute performance that began at midnight Monday at a jam-packed Metro.
Grohl discussed his hopes for the group as many as four years ago, and the three have been working on an album in Los Angeles this year. But the music has been a mystery; none of the tracks has leaked on the Internet, and the group’s future plans are shrouded in secrecy. After debuting a dozen songs at Metro, the group made it very clear that it’s not only for real, but also has the chance to be the exception to the super-group rule. Most of these Frankenstein projects usually end up being less than the sum of their parts, but Crooked Vultures sounded like it was on to something fresh, invigorating and just plain nasty.
Grohl is in many ways the linchpin. One of the great drummers in rock, he was the man who put the wallop in Nirvana, and also anchored the finest Queens of the Stone Age album, “Songs for the Deaf” (2002). His work on this night was astonishing, a clinic in brute force and finesse that was exhilarating and exhausting to observe at close quarters.
Homme handled lead vocals and guitar, and was unusually clear-eyed and affable, playing with more precision than he usually musters in Queens. And Jones, whose music with Led Zeppelin is an obvious touchstone for both his bandmates, was a huge presence with his variety of four-, six- and eight-string basses, a match for Grohl’s power and a counterpoint for Homme’s melodies. The group was rounded out by Queens alumnus Alain Johannes on guitar.
The set’s foundation was hard rock and hard edges, with Jones and Grohl going toe-to-toe in the engine room. Homme played more with texture and layering sounds on his guitar, the first memorable riff showing up four songs into the set on “Dead End Friends.” His high vocals were often bolstered by harmonies from Grohl, Johannes and even Jones. There were a couple of red herrings: “Bandoliers”” flirted with tenderness (Homme introduced it as a love song) and “Interlude w/ Ludes” came off as a prank, with Jones on keytar and a shimmying Homme in lounge-crooner mode. Otherwise, it was wrecking ball time, with the arrangements sometimes taking several turns before resolving.
Two epic tracks stood out. “Daffodils,” which hinted at psychedelia with reverb effects on the vocals and a massive bass tone, was capped by a Jones piano solo. And “Warsaw” ebbed and flowed, winding down to a low-key guitar-bass exchange before building back up into a slamming finale.
History tells us that super groups usually don’t last very long. But at least this particular one is off to a rousing start.
