It's Been a Long Time Since I Rock and Rolled

Holy supergroups, Batman! Allow me to introduce Them Crooked Vultures.

Sir David Grohl of Foo Fighters fame plays on the drums (little known fact: before serving as singer/rhythm guitarist for the Foo Fighters, Grohl played drums for indie band Nirvana).

Mr. Joshua Homme III of Queens of the Stone Age and the Desert Sessions will handle vocals and guitar.

And lastly....

Esquire JOHN PAUL MOTHER-LOVIN' JONES of Led Zeppelin on bass!!!

If that doesn't do anything for you, check out this very generous 14-second clip of the band's "Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I."



Wow. For how face-melting awesome that tidbit was, I am expecting to lots of hard-hitting syncopated jams followed by relentless punches to the face. The band's Wikipedia page classifies the trio as hard rock, which is interesting to note since Jones always strayed from that title with Zeppelin. I can't find the source, but I recall that Zeppelin refused the title of a hard rock/metal act since "over half their songs were acoustic." So if that's any indication, this amalgamation should stray away from the softer side of rock, unlike the Foos and Zeppelin. And with these three at the helm, I wouldn't want it any other way.

What thinkst thou? Are you excited yet? Sound off and let me know some of your favorite supergroups!
