Them Crooked Vultures on SNL 2/6/10

#21
It was great, and JPJ did some VERY Ramble On licks as fills, if you listen closely. Well, more Led Zeppelin fills, but very Ramble On - esque.

I love em, super trio, with my all time favorite bassist.

It goes without saying there could have been more bass and backup vocals, and a little less guitar:smug:. One of my favourite moments was after mind eraser was done (the first song), the looks on their faces; almost as if they knew they just rocked that stage harder than its been rocked in a loooooonnnnnngg time.

why is josh homme doing all the singing for them? and why is the other guy on guitar getting zero camera time when he's playing a fair amount of leads? and why don't they have good songs when dave grohl is one of the best songwriters out there? something tells me josh is the guy in charge here, and i think he's talented but his songs just aren't very catchy. i really want to like this band, but it doesn't do much for me.

Meh, I've listened to the whole album and I gotta say, when it comes to these "supergroups" I just havent been very impressed, especially with the talent involved. Crooked vultures, Chickenfoot, Monsters of Folk(I dont really like that style of music anyway), all very meh. I guess I've been spoiled with the likes of velvet revolver and audioslave, but then again thats just maybe more my type of music.

Great to see JBJ. I don't think I have ever seen him use a pick, but who cares. He is John Paul Jones!!!! NUFF SAID!!!!

I remember a column that he wrote in with BP or Guitar World in the mid 90s, where he noted that while most bassists would "scoff at the idea of using a plectrum," he found it useful when he wished to have a certain articulation. He used a Led Zeppelin song as his example, but I'll be damned if I can remember which one.

I think he said that about Black Dog.
