Logically rocking result from three-piece puzzle Has a supergroup ever lived up to its classification? The best (Traveling Wilburys, Dead Weather) have been great at times, but to say that they were ‘super,’ better than the bands from which they came, would be foolish. “Handle with Care” was good, but one of those Wilburys wrote Blonde on Blonde all by himself.

But such doesn't seem the case for Them Crooked Vultures, the new supergroup—ahem, rock band—featuring Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl. ... read more

As of last month, all anyone really knew about the Dave Grohl/Josh Homme/John Paul Jones collaboration was that it was happening and that Grohl told Mojo in 2005 that the group "wouldn't suck." Finally, we know that the group has a name (Them Crooked Vultures), some decent social-networking skills and, potentially, a hush-hush gig coming up.... read more
