Then and Now

 Next Monday night Them Crooked Vultures will be performing  the opening show of the 2010  Teenage Cancer Trust series of  concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. The  TBL Crew plan to be  in attendance for a pre gig meet. We will be in The Queens Arms pub in Queens Gate Mews, (the same venue as the pre gig meets for Roberts Teenage Cancer Trust show in 2005 and the Page/Plant/Weller Teenage Cancer Trust show in 2002)  from around 5pm onwards and look forward to seeing all those that can make it along. This excellent …

35 years ago today February 24th 1975 Led Zeppelin’s sixth album Physical Graffiti was unleashed on an eagerly awaiting Zep public. This 15 track double album stands for many as their premier recorded statement. Over three decades on, it remains the perfect one stop summary of every ingredient that makes Led Zeppelin THE outstanding rock band of yesterday… of today and tomorrow… 
I vividly remember the pure excitement of investing in the new Led Zeppelin album that day 35 years ago. Feasting my eyes on that incredible sleeve, and the first …

Them Crooked Vultures set their perch atop the Tabernacle last Thursday night.

In a music world that seems to be spitting out so called “supergroups” left and right, Them Crooked Vultures are circling and setting their gaze upon the dieing carcass of mainstream rock groups creating bland and uninspired rock and roll.
Them Crooked Vultures have a sound that blends together the quirky inspired fuzzy  jams of Josh Homme (Queens of The Stoneage), the mastership bass and keyboard playing of John Paul Jones and the pounding beats of Dave Grohl. With this …

The three living members of this all-time great rock band — singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones — got together for a well-received …

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.
