Them Crooked Vultures
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know the three guys pictured above. Individually they play/have played in some of the greatest bands of our time. Together they’ve formed, in our opinion, the #epic-est supergroup of the last decade. Them Crooked Vultures sees the collective talents of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) come together for an album of some of the juiciest licks we’ve heard all year.
Check out ‘New Fang’ from their self-titled debut for a taste of the Them Crooked Vultures experience.

Here’s a quick FAQs about Them Crooked Vultures
1) WHAT DOES THE BAND SOUND LIKE? It sounds like the guy from Queens of the Stone Age singing and playing guitar with the bass player from Led Zeppelin and the drummer from Nirvana. Now that music is getting out there, this one is sort of unnecessary but still…
2) HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE NAME/WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Virtually every name the three guys came up with would inevitably be taken. So they came up with one that wasn’t.
3) WHAT PREVIOUS HISTORY DID THE BAND MEMBERS SHARE? To recap their various histories, Dave played drums with Joshua’s Queens of the Stone Age on the 2002 classic Songs For The Deaf and on the first part of the tour supporting that record. John contributed to Dave’s Foo Fighters’ 2005 two-disc opus In Your Honor, contributing piano, mandolin and mellotron to the double album’s quieter second half. John also conducted the orchestra for the Foo Fighters 2008 Grammy performance and, together with his former bandmate Jimmy Page, sat in with the Foos for encores of ‘Rock and Roll’ and ‘Ramble On’ on the second night of the band’s historic two-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium later that year.
4) HOW/WHEN DID THE BAND FORM AND WHOSE IDEA WAS IT? Dave first came up with the idea of him, Joshua and John playing together. Joshua thought it was a great idea but wasn’t really aware how serious Dave was until Dave essentially set him and John up on a blind date, inviting both of them to his 40th birthday party in January 2009 at Medieval Times in Buena Park, CA. He had the two seated together and was able to observe their chemistry from his perch while being knighted and cheering on the Blue Knight.
5) WHERE/WHEN WAS THE RECORD RECORDED? The band members managed to find a break between their other music and family commitments and record the album at Joshua’s Pink Duck studios in Burbank in sessions taking place from February to July 2009.
6) WHO WROTE THE RECORD? All three write and arrange. Joshua is the lyricist.
7) WHO PRODUCED IT? Them Crooked Vultures.
