Them Crooked Vultures, are you excited?

[willdabeast21]

So, there may or may not have already been a thread about this, but Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones have formed a band called Them Crooked Vultures and are putting out an album, presumably called Never Deserved the Future, this fall.
They played their first show last night, but I can't find a decent youtube video.
So yeah, I'd say I'm excited, I've liked everything all of these guys have done (Particularly Led Zep, QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal and Nirvana).
Thoughts?

EDIT - 14 second sample available here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQEOEnQlXjg)
UPDATE - album due out October 23rd
EDIT - new 33 second sample available here (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=491766979&blogId=506329306)

Should be interesting going to have to pick this up before I judge though from their first show can you tell what direction they are going in?

Like I said, all the youtube videos are such bad quality I can't tell
The song titles are -
* "Elephants"
* "New Fang'
* "Scumbag Blues"
* "Dead End Friends"
* "Bandoliers"
* "Mind Eraser"
* "Gunman"
* "Daffodils"
* "Interlude w/ Ludes"
* "Caligulove"
* "Warsaw"
* "Nobodys Loves Me"
That sounds kinda Queen's of the Stone Age/Eagles of Death Metal to me.

[supernova1324]

I have high hopes for it.

[Mystlyfe77]

Eagles of Death Meal? Interesting. :P

Eagles of Death Meal? Interesting. :P

Fixed
And if I were getting the chair I might eat eagle as my last meal.

[SG_Hitman]

I just found out about this yesterday. I'm really excited for it.

[polishdog90]

I'm now excited to hear what they sound like.

[RainbowMist]

I am very curious to see what this sounds like, they seem to have gotten great initial reviews. (although my source for that is a Foo Fighters board, so they may be a bit biased)

[willdabeast21]

Check out the link I put up, it sounds quite like Queens of the Stone Age

[Backbeat60-62]

This goes to show that John Paul Jones isn't relying on the past, at least.

[BonyGrunt]

Every review of their Lollapalooza show I've read basically said it was beastly. I can't wait for this, as the Foos, QotSA, and Zep are all among my favorite bands. Looks like there will finally be a supergroup that is actually as good as it should be!

...I've listened to that sample AT LEAST 20 times...

[Ultimatum]

I've been begging for Grohl to pick up the sticks again ever since Probot came out, so I'm extremely excited, especially with JPJ making up the other half of the rhythm section.

[Alright_Computer]

Based on what I've heard (i.e. the 14-second clip), I'm pretty excited for this. It has a nice Kyuss/QOTSA vibe.

[Pwnz0r3d]

If Josh Homme is lead singer, i love this band already.

[sonicnerd23]

You mean the John Paul Jones? The one from Led Zeppelin?

[JukeBoxHero]

Yes. :)

[clashcityrocker10]

I'll give the band a listen after the album comes out, should be pretty interesting.

[Snitsky]

Which one of them is singing for the band? Dave or Josh? Or both?

[KallenS]

Which one of them is singing for the band? Dave or Josh? Or both?

Josh. Dave's on the drums.

[Pwnz0r3d]

Its official.
This band is sex.

[TEJC36]

This band is naked glee.:cool:

EDIT:
The albums coming out on September 20th. -Pass out-

[Backbeat60-62]

So yeah, I'd say I'm excited, I've liked everything all of these guys have done (Particularly Led Zep, QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal and Nirvana).

UPDATE - album due out September 20th

Yes. Both Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones have played with some of the ex-Beatles on solo projects and concerts over the years. Plus Josh's music with QOTSA has a heavy hint of psychedelic-ness mixed with metal. It sounds like a win.

[jayou521]

Wow, seriously?! Not only is Grohl teaming up with Homme again, but the bassist of Zeppelin is joining them?1

This is too awesome! Really excited to hear this album.

EDIT: Where is everyone getting the September 20th release date from? I'm seeing October 23rd on a few sites

I got September 20th from buddy a few posts ago....
Guess it is october, thanks



also - check out the new 33 second clip they put on their myspace, I have a link in the original post

[Evilbottom]

I realized I have yet to post my opinion on this. So here it is:

All the bands that these guys come from (QotSA, Led Zep, Foo Fighters, Nirvana) are among my 'meh' pile. The only band I have a slight interest for is Nirvana, and even then it is very slight. I'll check out this album none the less, maybe the collaboration will create something greater than the sum of its parts. But to answer the question 'are you excited?'... no.

[TEJC36]

I've been reading up. Some people are saying September 20th, some October 23rd. We need to wait for official word.

[Parodygm]

Well, I'm excited! I can't see how this could possibly be anything less than excellent.

[willdabeast21]

Make sure you check out the new sample in my original post

[themcrookedvultures]

This band is going to suck

Sarcasm doesn't exactly seem as easy to detect as I believed it would be. I thought maybe by my name people would understand I was obviously joking.

[Ultimatum]

It's kinda hard to detect jokes when they're bad.

[sonicnerd23]

I'm looking forward to it. JPJ is the most underrated Led Zeppelin member.

[NormanCoxwell]

This will either be an orgasmic explosion of awesome or a train wreck. Gonna be fun to find out.

[themcrookedvultures]

Well it's obviously not as easy as it is to detect an ******* on a message board.

[Ultimatum]

Quite the clever one today, aren't we?

[californication]

You could say I'm excited. :)

Three of my favorite musicians, kickass songs so far, I'm getting the album day one most likely.

[MrFruitLord]

They sound good live.

[Lithuanian_Boy]

It's kinda hard to detect jokes when they're bad.

And on the internet, but it depends on the joke.

[HeyRiles]

Besides Muse and Wolfmother, this is my most anticipated album of the year...and all I've listened to was their YouTube previews!

I sent them an Email about Rock Band Network, but no reply

[Swivle]

I just listened to the Youtube previews, and they sound great. Awesome lineup, and it sounds like they work very well together. You can count me in on the 'excited' team.

[a_bull_on_parade]

Kinda a checked woo here

[Lizard_King]

they are touring now, going to see them in nashville, first date after their austin run. its going to be amazing.

[Refero]

I dunno if this has been posted already but I found a 37 second bit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBckNeRMXDY&feature=related) of the song Elephants on YouTube.
