John Paul Jones in new Supergroup

Spedracer · #1 07-05-2009, 04:47 AM

So, apparently John Paul Jones, Josh Homme and Dave Grohl formed a supergroup and are currently recording the debut album.

Quote:

The super-group to end all super-groups? Perhaps so as two of the heavyweights in hard rock Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) join with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones to form an as yet unnamed band.

The trio are presently in Los Angeles, recording their debut album, and although the project has been simmering for years, this week's confirmation comes from Brody Dalle, Homme's wide who leaked the news during an interview with the website Antiquiet; Dalle is Homme's wife.

"I'm not at liberty to talk about it," she said, "but I think it's pretty ****ing amazing ... Just beats and sounds like you've never heard before."

All i have to say is it sounds like a trifecta of awesome. Wow.

Discuss.

Excited to hear more about it. That's pretty much a powerhouse of rockers right there.

What was wrong with TOTD? That album they put out was great, song for song, its a great album with some very talented musicians

link please....

Oh, make no mistake TOTD was exceptional, IMO. But one album, and a few tours when I was like 7 is still a letdown for me.

Sounds awesome. I am assuming that Dave is on drums, Josh is guitar and vocals and John is on bass, but it could be different as I know that Josh also plays drums.

This could be awesome stacked with awesome. I hope it doesn't suck.

WOW!! Dave Grohl back on drums would be GREAT!
And with JPJ locking in = I'd LOVE to hear this!!

Temple of the Dog was a one time group formed to play the songs of Andy Wood of Mother Love Bone (RIP).
It was never meant to be a permanent group as the players all had strong working bands at the time = Pearl Jam & Soundgarden.

I can't see this supergroup sucking at all. I mean, JPJ is a great composer/producer. Which would go to say for all three of these guys.

If you want a link just type supergroup Dave Grohl (or similar) in google.

Its big news.

So yeah, I found this link and one from Yahoo! news that asserted that Mike Patton might even be involved.

If so, I have a hard time imagining that not being incredible.

I have much respect for Mike Patton, but hes just too weird. Tomahawk was a cool band. Plus it only really describes Patton as being included in the desert sessions, which i feel is more up his alley anyways.

I am willing to eat my words on all this though, in the case that im all wrong, i hope mike tones it down just a tid bit.

I could see a faith no more Mike Patton being a good fit in this. I also understand why Mike doesn't like going to the dessert sessions. A week of drug induced recording. Just too weird.

Temple of the Dog predates the success of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. They got together as a tribute to their friend, Andrew Wood, after he OD'd on Heroin.

Beat me to it. TotD wasn`t a super group. They were simply a tribute to Andrew Wood after he OD`d on heroin. The remaining members went on to form Pearl Jam, and Chris Cornell went back to Soundgarden.
