Them Crooked Vultures

[jman3000]

Joshe Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl from Nirvana/Foo Fighters, and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin.

They're gonna be playing in Austin next month and I'm wondering if anybody's going. Should be a good show.

If you are going and you wanna meet up let me know.

[Imposter]

That band already exists, they're called Queens of the Stone Age. And 55 bucks to see them? I'll pass. Heard it sold out in 10 minutes though so there is some hype going into this show.

[jman3000]

This is probably a one time tour. I'd say it's worth the 55.

[ATRAIN]

I have a ticket J so hit me up man. I have heard some clips and WOW its like a Led Zep queens fusion!! This is the closest im going to get to see Led Zep and Imposter 55 to see QOTSA is WELL worth it. I would pay over 100 if I had to. J wouldnt it be bad ass if Eagles of Death Metal were opening up for Vultures. Have you heard of any opening acts? Seeing Grohl on drums will be the closest im coming to see Nirvana too. Should be a great fucking show!!!

[ATRAIN]

Oh yeah got my ticket in the mail yesterday.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

probot part III

[ATRAIN]

probot part III

Who was part two?

I have to say NO on this.

This sounds more like a QOTSA meets Zep. Have you heard any clips of how they sound? They are only doing a few shows and selling out FAST so I think this will be sucessful.

Best performance on the European festival circuit this summer.

How were they?

[leemajors]

How were they?

I would assume they were good given his comment.

[ATRAIN]

Well yes I got that thanks for clearing that up but I wanted details.

[jman3000]

Eagles is in Europe touring right now, so that's outta the question... but yeah it should be a bad ass show.

I'll respond to your message when I get outta work.

[koriwhat]

damn i wanna go! seen QOTSA twice now and they never cease to amaze me.

[ATRAIN]

damn i wanna go! seen QOTSA twice now and they never cease to amaze me.

Yeah seem them 3 times one of those times was a secret show at Emos. If you have never been to Emos its a SMALLLL ass venue in Austin. It was bad ass to see them there.

[CuckingFunt]

I've still never seen QOTSA live. It saddens me.

[jman3000]

They've never had a secret show at Emo's. The "secret show" was at Waterloo. The tour show right after was just a tour show.

[BlackSwordsMan]

what are some good queen of the stone age songs? I youtubed and aint find nothing

[CuckingFunt]

what are some good queen of the stone age songs? I youtubed and aint find nothing

Some good QOTSA songs... all of them?

Go With the Flow
No One Knows
Skin on Skin
"You Got a Killer Scene There, Man..."
You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
Hangin' Tree
Burn the Witch
I Never Came
Monsters in the Parasol
Regular John
Someone's in the Wolf

[BlackSwordsMan]

thanks I'll check em out

[jman3000]

This song is about ... fucking.

[CuckingFunt]

This song is about ... fucking.

I was under the impression that pretty much all their songs are about fucking.

[jman3000]

I'm pretty sure everything off Rated R is about acid trips and pimping young girls.

[CuckingFunt]

I'm pretty sure everything off Rated R is about acid trips and pimping young girls.

Definitely.

But, they've always struck me as the type of band where even the songs that aren't really about fucking are still about fucking. But... maybe that's just me.

[jman3000]

haha... yes I can see that.

[ATRAIN]

They've never had a secret show at Emo's. The "secret show" was at Waterloo. The tour show right after was just a tour show.

Well I guess it wasnt a "secret" show but it was announced that week on their myspace.

[ATRAIN]

Some good QOTSA songs... all of them?

[ATRAIN]

J and Funt, now which album would you say is thier best? Hey J have you seen the limited ed vinyl for Rated R called Rated X?

I think I'd have to put Songs for the Deaf as their best album, though I love them all (and though my favorite song is on Lullabies to Paralyze). Grohl on drums = infinite win.

And you didn't ask me the second question, but I know someone who has Rated X.

[jman3000]

all rated r vinyl's are called rated x.

it's only limited edition insofar as they didn't make any of them. You won't find Rated R vinyl's because they don't exist.

I found one on ebay for like 20 bucks because the seller didn't know what he was selling. They normally go for over 40.

Oh well I didnt know that. SO you have one and got it for 20?? I would have to say the self titled out of print album is the best.

[jman3000]

Rated R is my favorite because it's the most "out there" in terms of sound.

I actually found a self titled CD a few years ago at a Best Buy and snatched it up. Hard as hell to find.

I heard they are going to remaster and re-release it. I am going to pick that up on vinyl for sure. Rated R is my second fav and SFTD is my 3rd.

[jman3000]

Hey train... wanna meet up before the show and have a couple beers?

I'll be with a couple of my friends, so don't try any of that hands down my pants stuff.

[jman3000]

I'm off to Austin to pick up my tickets. Hopefully Waterloo is still open around 7:45 when I get there.

[ATRAIN]

Tonight is gonna kick sooo much ass

[Suicidal Jack]

I hope the place burns down.

[jman3000]

It was perfect.

[ATRAIN]

It was perfect.

It was


It was just amazing

[Imposter]

Did they perform all new material? Anything from QOTSA or Grohl's stuff? HOw long was the set?

[jman3000]

It was all new material. Set started at 9 and was probably 13 songs at 4-5 minutes a pop + time in between to talk to audience.

I would have been disappointed if they had played any covers from their old bands.

[Imposter]

well, this along with a good friend of mine raving about the show last night pretty much secures my attendance to catch them @ ACL. won't be as intimate as stubb's but hopefully I can get a glimpse of what they are all about.

[leemajors]

they played less than 90 mins? how much did you pay?

[jman3000]

I payed a bit over 55. I would have paid 100.

It's not like they have multiple releases to play from.

[ATRAIN]

I didnt pay as much as you with the presale but I would have paid 100 as well.

[Imposter]

I get that it was a good show and all, but paying 100 bucks to catch one act, a new one at that, is ludacris.

[leemajors]

i was just curious. most bands like to play a short set and charge out the ass. better value than a hip hop show that starts at 1:30 AM and, oh, damn, it's 2 and we're closed tho, haha.

Well there was no opening band and I am sure they played all of their material. Shit was good too.


Hey Jman, Josh walked right by me in the crowd when I was getting a beer. Grohl had already passed me.

[ATRAIN]

I get that it was a good show and all, but paying 100 bucks to catch one act, a new one at that, is ludacris.

New band yes I suppose but not really. Everyone knows who Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme are.

If your a rock n roll fan that is.

For not even putting out a record yet they sold out in 10 mins from what I heard.

Sure evey rock fan is familiar with those names, everyone knows the guys from Chickenfoot too and I wouldn't blow 100 bucks to see them either.

and the 10 minute thing is what I had initally heard too, only to find out that there were still tickets on the Stubbs website days later. apprently a bunch of orders were cancelled because people were trying to buy a bunch at a time to scalp when the limit was supposed to be two.

[JoeChalupa]

I wouldn't have paid $100.

[JoeChalupa]

But I'm sure they are one hell of a band.

humm well I didnt hear that. Ok you cant compare chickenfoot with bands like Nirvana, Zep, and even Foo Fighters.

I talked to a guy that was there from Scotland just to see John Paul Jones. Some Canadian guys there for Grohl on drums and Jones. Granted most are prob there for ACL anyways.

[jman3000]

a bunch were available because people are too lazy to go to the fucking venue and buy tickets. The tix they had set aside for gate purchases weren't going as fast as the ones online, which went almost instantaneously. To sell the excess gate tickets they put a bunch of them online, but by that time it's too late.

I didnt know they had a seperate ticket count for online and gate. Thought it was all the same.

i wouldn't pay $100 to see anyone.

Me either but back in my younger days?.....nah.

same

[jman3000]

To each their own, I suppose. Oh well.

[ATRAIN]

To each their own, I suppose. Oh well.

Yeah I tell you Jman, if eagles of death metal would have opened up it would have been the perfect show.

[jman3000]

My friend told me that. They're in Europe opening for the Arctic Monkeys right now... but yeah it would have been pretty nice.

[JoeChalupa]

Eagles of Death Metal?...Arctic Monkeys?....what the.......man am I out of the current rock scene.

[JoeChalupa]

to each their own, i suppose. Oh well.

+1

[leemajors]

I could brew 10 gallons of awesome beer for $100, and download a flac off the soundboard for the show. It's just hard to justify it imo.

It was just amazing

I hate you both.


Josh walked right by me in the crowd when I was getting a beer.

Did you attack him and have dirty sex in the middle of the crowd? If not, you completely wasted the opportunity.

[leemajors]

dude teach me your beer making ways

i just follows the instructions from these fine people:

[jman3000]

"Interlude with ludes" was such an obnoxiously sleazy song, but it worked. JPJ on the keytar and Homme sans guitar with microphone wondering around stage was priceless.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Was this gig at a House of Bourgeois?
That might explain the excessive, unnecessarily high price tag for a ticket.
I hate going to shows at HOB. I always boycott them.
You pay more for the name on the building than you do for the band on the stage.

[ATRAIN]

I hate you both.

Well the initial shock of him walking right by me had me stunned so no. Damn my man crush :lmao.

Seriously though Funt it was fucking amazing and all those songs they had were fucking awesome!!!

[jman3000]

It was at Stubb's, but I hear what you're saying about HoB. I went to a show in Dallas a couple years ago and the ticket was 60 something at HoB.

[Sausage]

Them Crooked Vultures released their first single on their Youtube account. It sounds awesome. Album comes out November 17th.

New Fang is bad ass, cant wait for the album.

[jman3000]

Picked it up yesterday. Tasty.

[DieMrBond]

Listening to the album now, liking it a lot!

[CuckingFunt]

Downloaded this one today so I can give it a listen during tomorrow's drive.

[Fat Bones]

2nded.

[atxrocker]

I don't know what it is but for some reason I am having trouble being crazy about this. I'll pick it up soon to hopefully prove myself wrong.

[Spurstro]

Disappointed in the album.....

[ATRAIN]

Disappointed in the album.....

Why?

[Spurstro]

New Fang is great, and I guess I was expecting more after hearing that track a few weeks back.

It's almost like the rest of the songs don't come close to that one. That could just be me comparing the rest of the songs to New Fang....maybe the second time through will be different.

Well its rare a cd blows your mind the first time. It does happen but I dont give a thumbs up or down till like the 4th listen. Thats how you find gems.

[DieMrBond]

This album keeps getting better on repeated listens... Some of the songs that don't 'blow your mind' on first listen, just keep getting better... there is a lot of detail in the songs, and its a bloody good album.

exactly. during the show every song sounded good... but when I got the cd it actually took a few listens to get into it. Bandoliers, New Fang, Culigulove, Spinning in Daphodiles, and Reptiles really grew on me. All in all it's very good imo.

Definately an album you need to listen to with headphones.

[Sausage]

Noone Loves Me & Neither Do I is amazing. From 2:43 to the end of the song, it's awesome.

[ATRAIN]

This album has been playing in my truck, ipod, and everywhere else a lot lately. Bandoliers is becoming one of my favs. Interlude with Ludes is really the only song I skip over.
