Foo Fighters + QotSA + Led Zeppelin =...

Them Crooked Vultures.

cording 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.

This could be amazing. I am looking forward to this since the last time Homme and Grohl collaborated, they produced one of my favorite rock albums.

Holy crap.

What was the previous Homme / Grohl collaboration? I've just been getting into QotSA but admit that I'd tuned out on the Foo Fighters several years ago.

This sounds frigging amazing.

"Songs for the Deaf", so that was just mostly Grohl on drums. Still, I can't think of a bad album where Grohl is drumming.

True, I prefer him as a drummer over that of a frontman.

BTW, with all these new ventures the bandmates of QotSA are on, is the band offically broken up?

I consider the band broken up when the bass player (can't remember his name, with the crazy goatee) left. It really helped elevate the material. Not to say their later material is bad.

I can never tell(Seeing as how the members but Homme all rotate) because at one point I heard they were back in the studio recording their next CD.

Their post-Oliveri stuff isn't bad. Plus, Oliveri was kind of a dick (he got fired for being abusive to his girlfriend).

As for the OT, I'm definitely interested. I wonder who takes vocals (probably Homme, but maybe Grohl).
