Them Crooked Vultures Philadelphia review

Mr. SunCaughtFire got a chance to see Them Crooked Vultures in Philadelphia Monday night and mailed in this review. In case you don't know, this is a "super group" made up of drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Scream), vocalist and guitarist Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss) and bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin):

Caught Them Crooked Vultures at the Electric Factory tonight. It was one of those "Hey, Chuck, you know that new sound you been lookin' for???" kind of moments. They're that good and that tight. Hard rock, but not so fast that it becomes metal. Extremely riff-happy, but not dull or monotonous. And clearly having fun on stage. Dave Grohl is a monster on drums and John Paul Jones is the freaking man! The album can't arrive fast enough.
