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 …
