Check out a couple of videos, get a feel for the sound. Don't listen to absolutely everything, leave room to be surprised.

Ah right. I recommend just go and listen to the rest later (not a lot of studio work to be found anyway). Let it blow your mind without knowing what's coming.

Josh Homme and Dave Grohl dripped sweat. I got asked for dope by some out-of-towners. My right ear drum is damaged beyond repair. I give this show an A-.

Take any photo's?

Good to know you enjoyed it.

Videos Crooked Vulture
 

I love the first video clip, Nobody Loves Me, the sound is great. The next piece may have overdone the cymbal, playing.

I did record an audio clip of the last minute and a half or so of a song, dunno if it came out well though... if it did I'll definitely upload.

only bad thing was, it was so ****ing loud I couldn't pick out JPJ's melody at ALL. And they wasted 40 minutes in the soundcheck tuning his 5 or so basses, because that's definitely a one-man job >_<

Saw them on Friday. Was AMAZING. John Paul Jones alone was worth the price of admission.

There are a few videos here - I didn't film them.

You could HEAR him?

Yes.

Most of the time.

I guess they just decided our venue was built for being as loud as possible... that or I was standing on the wrong side of the auditorium

Loud = great... unless you suffer some sort of severe hearing injury from it, which is kinda sorta not....

from what i've heard, i like. some real classic riffs. i imagine it would be killer live and loud.

I think Josh Homme's motivation lately has been competing against Jack White. First there was his response to the White Stripes with The Eagles of Death Metal, with himself playing the primitive skins, and now you got his reply to the The Raconteurs. Gosh darn it Josh, if you want to top Jack, collaborate with the original lineup of Kyuss!

If he's competing with Jack White, he's done more than enough to defeat him

More than enough I'd say.... but I doubt he's really trying to compete... it's more than likely a coincidence...

This band sounds like they'll be grrreat. I can't wait for the album to drop.

Look what CDWow has:

THEM CROOKED VULTURES - TBA | CD WOW! Nederland


November 23rd...they better right!

LEAAAK!!!http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...ower/hyper.gif

not really a leak. It's an official release of the album via Youtube by the band.

These songs are WAY better live. Still great though.

You're right, didn't bother to look it up, just saw the blog post...

I agree. The album rocks and sounds great but live it all sounded spectacular. Not disappointed at all though.

Everything sounds better live. ;)

I like it. It's amazing how much a great drummer can benefit a band...Grohl is a god.

Them Crooked Vultures
 

Them Crooked Vultures (band with John paul Jones Josh Homme and David Grohl ) comes out today I heard some of the songs on youtube it looks like a pretty good album I'm gonna buy it.:afro:

made it halfway through their first single, thought it was utter garbage. if this is indicative at all of what the next Queens album will sound like, i won't be buying that either.

It's called jealosy bro. Either people who are in a ****ty garage band that will never be succesful are jealous at anyone with sucess. Or people that only like unknown bands that kinda suck. It's all based on jealousy. If you don't like the band, I don't see any reason to comment on them unless it's music related. I don't like name-calling, but anyone who has something negative to say about a musician ( at that musican as a person ) is just a sad jealous loser.

It's kinda bland, but they do bland rock quite well...

I like them- I heard one of their songs (cant remember which one) and then really different. I love it when band members get together and make another band.

Anyhow, I'm seriously contemplating going to Munchen to see them live. Only we're kinda skint right now and it's a long ass drive...

I just wanna hear their stuff! If anyone has an upload...

Their album is great, first time I listened to it, I liked it. Didn't love it. But I feel like it's a grower, the more I listen to it, the more I'll like it.

I'm OK with growers... I think half of my favorite albums are growers!

Can't get enough of it. Definitely one of the best albums this year.

You can listen it for free on youtube scottsy, I guess...

Had a few more days to digest it. There's only 3 songs I could do without, Elephants (although I love the first minute), Interlude with ludes and Warsaw, particularly the latter because I feel Spinning in dffodils would have been a perfect closing track.

For anyone following, P4K just published a (half-assed) review. 6.2. Hilarious. But I guess it'd be kinda like complaining about the NME list. :\

Incidentally, I'm a little surprised by the lack or response from MB...:\

I've listened to it twice now and i like it. It's nothing spectacular, nothing original, nothing mindblowing but it's a good album. It's kind of what i expected in many ways. Alot of people will say this could have just been another QOTSA album and it isn't a million miles away but i wasnt looking for anything original and judged on its own merit it's a decent record. Mr. Grohl's drumming is of course top notce as well.

i've only listened to it briefly and i'm more in line with mojopinuk (i only now noticed your name wasn't mojopunk haha). it's really good but not great. the two things that stood out the most for me was the relatively new singing style Homme is using with starting a lyric at one pitch then changing it up for every syllable like he's singing a scale.

the other, where the hell are the drums? did they use the ...And Justice For All method of production and give the drums that album's bass treatment? seriously they're so low in the mix at times i wonder what the point of bringing Grohl into the fold was. and when you can hear him it's not like he really sounds any different than Joey Castillo.

I don't know what im more surprised by, how long its taken you to get my name right or no love for Grohls drums. Personally the moments this album did make me stop and pay closer attention, it was Grohls drums every time.

it's not that i thought the drums were really bad or anything but i never noticed them standing out. if anything i found myself wondering where they were more often than not, then i'd have to focus on trying to find them in the mix.

maybe they're more prominent when listening through headphones as opposed to speakers, i'll have to give it another go one of these nights.

I felt the same, and will also have to give it another go.

On the other hand Holmes disappointed me. I enjoy QOTSA and such but I am mainly a fan of his early Kyuss work which seems to not be apparent at all in this recording.
