Grohl Teases Them Crooked Vultures Reunion
Dave Grohl isn’t ruling out a return of Them Crooked Vultures. In a recent interview, Grohl was asked about the status of his supergroup alongside Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones.
“Technically we’re still a band,” Grohl said. “We practice once every decade, and we’re coming up on another decade, aren’t we? I don’t have any official news but there’s always something cooking.”
Grohl talked about how he and Josh are best friends and that they are together all the time. He does admit that when it comes to Jones, he's still a bit star-struck. “There are times when you’ve relaxed into a sofa and you’re not thinking about his time in Led Zeppelin. Then you start playing and you’re immediately reminded that you are a musical speck compared to this man.”
Them Crooked Vultures released their first and only album in November 2009. They toured extensively behind the release, but haven’t shared the stage since November 2010.
