Review: Them Crooked Vultures at Vector Arena
By Scott Kara from the NZ Herald.co.nz
Pic from Birmingham.
Dave Grohl said recently that his time spent drumming in American rock band Queens of the Stone Age in 2002 was like being in the “coolest gang”.
With Them Crooked Vultures – a super group made up of the former Nirvana drummer and head Foo Fighter, Queens main man Josh Homme, and Led Zeppelin multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones – he has stepped up into a legendary gang.
Even though they range in age from young buck …

What a weekend of rock we had in Wellington – AC/DC on Thu and Sat nights, with TCV sandwiched between on Friday. The bogans are out of the suburbs in their black AC/DC t-shirts, but there were also lots of black Led Zeppelin and Nirvana and Foo Fighters t-shirts …

THEM CROOKED VULTURES
Hordern Pavilion, January 26
Grohl’s star shines, even at the back on drums
Reviewed by Bernard Zuel from the Sydney Morning Herald and
IT IS easy to forget that Dave Grohl was and is something other than the charming frontman and guitarist for Foo Fighters. He does it rather successfully too. But when you …

Crowd feasts on Them Crooked Vultures
Review by DANIEL NANCARROW from The Brisbane Times
Photo: Michael Clayton-Jones
It’s not often you see a rock god in the flesh, let alone three – each with varying claims to rock divinity – bashing it out on one stage.
But Them Crooked Vultures isn’t your average band. They’re an all-star fusion of baby boomer bassist, gen-X drummer and modern day frontman who combine to form a rumbling, thunderous, timeless whole.
Singer/guitarist Josh Homme greets the crowd with a simple mission statement, which proves an acknowledgment of …

In John Thomson’s post on Friday’s Melbourne show, he said his 16 year-old son commented “that was truly good as.” I think my (much younger) boys’ take on the common Australian expression could be applied to last night’s (Saturday) show – “That show was better than as!”
Walking on stage to wild applause, …

Last night was truly a great show from Them Crooked Vultures. It was a hot 36 degree day from Melbourne with the venue being the old Festival Hall. A venue I had not been to before but famous for The Beatles playing there. Being so old, there was no air conditioning and the drinks queues …

Them Crooked Vultures review
This review by Ashlee Crabbe is taken from WA Today.com
This week it was Perth’s job to welcome super-group of the noughties Them Crooked Vultures to Australia.
The frantic crowd was cheering as soon as the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme stepped foot on stage.
When frontman Homme took the microphone and shouted “are you ready to have a good time?”, the crowd were quick to answer.
Opening the night at Challenge Stadium were local boys The …

Went to see the Vultures at the Hammersmith Apollo on the Friday (18th). Outstanding gig.
It was great to see a band who made it up as they went along, as quite a lot of their songs had extended improvised sections. The rhythm section was outstanding – as you’d expect! And the eye-contact between Dave …

Them Crooked Vultures – Live at Hammersmith Apollo 17/12/09
By Colin Miller
When it was announced that Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones were teaming up to form a band called “Them Crooked Vultures”, eyebrows were naturally raised.
With John Paul Jones on bass and Dave Grohl back behind the drum kit, it could be argued …
