Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Queens Of The Stone Age participants joining together. Not many details on the album yet, but this looks like a Chickenfoot-like can't miss deal.
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

I believe the band is playing together at the Lollapalooza after party at Metro in Chicago this Sunday.

I had heard that. Grohl has been wanting to hook up with Jones for a long time if I remember what I've read in the past.

A lot of bands like this look great on paper. Let's see how it sounds on vinyl.

New Fang heading to radio Monday said Billboard. I have a concert on disc from these guys. Best mega type band I've heard in a while.

If this doesn't hit #1 on all rock formats, then radio doesn't have its ears on nowadays.

I can't believe this is Top 20 and yet I've never heard it. I've tried finding it on Soulseek but all I seem to find are crappy live versions. I wonder if it's anything I may find a liking to anyway.

Well, if you don't mind taking the approach of we, the peons and just streaming it: www.myspace.com/crookedvulturesI like this one. Has a nice classic sound to it, with almost a J. J. Cale-esque blues-rock influence. |

It's going to take some listening to for me. I was expecting Foo Fighters and Led Zeppelin to have more of an influence, but mostly what I hear is QOTSA, but not even catchy QOTSA. Mostly meandering QOTSA. I'm gonna have to really sit with this for a while.

I can't decide whether I really like it or not. It does sound a hell of a lot like QOTSA, but nowhere as good. I think it could grow on me though if I listen to it a few more times.

Mostly meandering QOTSA. I'm gonna have to really sit with this for a while. That's pretty much how I feel. For all the star power involved, it hasn't proven itself to be anything memorable. And we're up to 5 listens now. |

It worries me that between members of Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and QOTSA, this is the best they have to offer right off the bat.

I'd be interested in knowing if it would be any better if Mike Patton had signed on to be the frontman.

I'll save judgment for Tuesday. But New Fang makes the rest of the CD sound promising. Great riffs and feel for me.

Out today. One listen so far. This is too much fun. Other than Wolfmother, the closest we'll here to serious Zeppelin grooves. New Fang and Mind Eraser, No Chaser really stood out to me.
