Them Crooked Vultures
 

Dave Grohl on Drums, Josh Homme, vox and guitar and JPJ on bass and keys.

A few scrappy YT vids about from their live debut last night in Chicago are about, but lets be honest here...

It's going to be fucking awesome.

:drool:

They've also apparently got Alain Johannes on guitar and backing vocals. Not sure if he's full time or not, but either way :y:

Yeah, I am pretty sure he will be involved on stage. He was at their first gig, and plays on about half of the songs they played.

He was there with QOTSA a few years back in london. Played a mad intro to Long Slow Goodbye. Top guitarist.

i was just about to make this thread.
i haven't been this hyped for a band in a long, long time.

Lot of good videos on their forums, but these are a couple of the best...

omgggggggggggg

Can't wait for them to tour here

Yeah, we're going.

I think I vaguely remember Dave saying QOTSA is, and I quote,

Dave Grohl + JPJ = not gay

Most def all over those Austin tickets. Will gladly give up money for bills for this

Sweet Jesus

Just got 2 tickets to the Oct. 1 date through the insanely fucked up presale

We watched Spinnerette at Leeds, and we then went to see Eagles of Death Metal. They had Joey Castillo drumming, and with Brody there, I was thinking 'Josh must be about, and playing somewhere, at some point!'

We went back to the tents to get more loaded, and came back to see Ian Brown. We literally must have walked straight past the tent they were on, ignoring the video screens outside the tent and walked on by.

They did a secret show at 4pm on that day, we were walking past, to Ian Brown at the main stage at 4.10. Devo'd

5 days until I see them in Austin. This will be the most expensive concert I've ever attended. Had to pay ample amounts of cash to get the car fixed. Twice. That on top of the $106 for the tickets.

$106 + $184 + $240 = My wallet hurting

PS. Car may potentially have a flat soon due to the "Low Tire Pressure" light coming on, but no noticeable flat

Got back from Austin a few hours ago, fucking amazing. Didn't know much about John Paul Jones before this, but now I'm a big fan. Dude was ridiculous.

My only complaint, NEVER GO TO SHOWS IN TEXAS. Difficult to enjoy anything when you're on the verge of dying from the heat.

Was cool to see all the different kinds of fans there. All the older 40+ there for Jones (I saw plenty of people in their 50s and 60s) or the younger 18-30 there for Grohl and Homme. Pretty neat.

the better complaint there is to never go to Texas ever

Did they play any covers?

Of...anything really?

Nope, all original songs. I can remember:

Elephants
Scumbag Blues
Daffodils
Interlude With 'Ludes
No One Loves Me And Neither Do I
Gunman
Mind Eraser
New Fang
Dead End Friends
Caligulove

And maybe 2 or 3 others

Free download of Mind Eraser, No Chaser on iTunes if you're a fan of iTunes on facebook.

Someone on the TCV forum ripped and uploaded 30 second clips from all the songs before Amazon took them down. I'll find the link if anyone wants it.

Awesome news, I shall be getting the album.

No One Loves Me and Neither Do I: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P2YUXIZD Ripped from a radio station

What we've got on the TCV forums, so far

Also, Dead End Friend: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YWWY9PK9

Some guy on Twitter, who's already leaked Spinning in Daffodils and Caligulove says if no one leaks the album by 8, he'll do it himself

EDIT: Well, band just decided to leak it themselves: http://www.youtube.com/user/themcrookedvultures

Yeah, the whole album is out on torrents and I like it a lot

"Gunman" is blowing my face off. Pun intended.

Does anyone have a non-torrent leak of the album? I am at work and, working for a music company, they frown on torrents. Possibly a megaupload link or something of that nature?

edit: Actually, http://rapidshare.com/files/304941495/tcv-tcv.zip

There you all go.

it's on youtube free streaming from the bands channel full album

How am I supposed to stream when I'm driving around town, Clox?

That's not info just for you.

Glad to be of assistance. Half way through. Review coming later.
