    Them Crooked Vultures-- the megawatt supergroup of Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones-- made their live debut last night at a Lollapalooza aftershow at the Metro club in Chicago.

    http://pitchfork.com/news/36161-…

    Anyone know if they have any MP3's/streaming music out right now? I'm dying to hear their sound.

  • digdre0

    maybe suprise act at a festival next week where i'm going..

    • ill keep my fingers crossed for you - bring a camera and upload the vid to QBN!identity
  • ismith0

    There is a really short teaser (audio) clip on youtube, but that's all I've seen. It sounded like a random sample of QOTSA (no surprise there). I hope it's better than Eagles of Death Metal.

    hahah - does sound like QOTSA...
    I've recently gotten into Witch. Similar in sound - but with a SCREAMING vocalist... sounds a lot like Robert Plant at times... speaking of Led Zeppelin

    A coworker of mine went to the show and said it was unreal. All the reviews I've seen said it was amazing. They were kicking people out left and right for recording video.

    Metro has a 1,000 person capacity; I would be willing to bet they only released half that as tickets for the public. There were apparently tons of artists from Lollapalooza there, lots of invited guests, etc.

  • ismith0

    I'm a little tired of Dave Grohl (although I can still listen to Probot on and on) but for the last year or so I've been on a Josh Homme kick, so if this works out I'll be really happy. My only concern is the supergroup novelty, e.g. Tinted Windows, Chickenfoot, etc. BUT, fingers crossed, it's sounding good and hopefully when we get more recordings it'll show they can write complete songs together that are fuckin awesome.

  • fooler20

    chickenfoot was a joke band, no?

  • calcium0

    Joke's on the Billboard list.

    • I don't know anything about the charts, but 4 on the Billboard 200 can't be bad.ismith

    nice, looking forward to this. Ive been lookin around for a new hard rockin band.
