I can't wait to check them out. That may be the greatest living rhythm section in rock and roll.

Sickkkkkk. That song on Bassbombs video is an awesome jam. I'm a Ledhead, LOVE all of JPJ's basslines. Maybe these guys can bring some GOOD hard rock back into these s**t-infested times.
BTW, yes that's Jonesy's Manson 8. There's pictures of it on the Manson custom shop site. he doesn't whip it out too much though

Josh Homme and Dave Ghrol always seem to have cool projects, smart dudes!

I had a friend who was the sound tech at a rehearsal they did in CHicago, and he said they were all cool and really sounded great.

Waking this up to ask if anyone in Texas or Tennessee went to the shows, or are going to the shows still to come?

I'm excited to check them out but disappointed that the early rumor of Mike Patton doing vocals on some (or all) of the tracks turned out not to be true.

Now THAT would have been epic.

I'm really surprised at these guys. Usually when bands like this come alone, they tend to suck. I am extremely impressed with them so far and can't wait to hear the album.

Listening to those riffs just proves that JPJ was truly integral to Led Zeppelin's sound. I'm just tickled an AARP eligible dude like JPJ is still rocking hard as hell! I don't buy a bunch of rock, but I thinkI may get Them Crooked Vultures.

saw them friday at ACL. it was good, but not what i expected. maybe i had too high of expectations... i'll still buy the album.

i did come within 3 feet of JPJ though as he was getting into a cart and my cart was passing him. i crapped my pants a little.

But I'm still exited about the album.
