THEM CROOKED VULTURES officially kicked off its first North American tour on October 5 in Nashville. The group has been the subject of furious international buzz since making its official live debut on August 9 in Chicago.

FOO FIGHTERS drummer Taylor Hawkins told The Pulse of Radio he's heard the VULTURES' record and likes it. "It's really great," he said. "I'm really proud of Dave, and I think he's having a real blast not having to shake his booty at the front of the stage for a while, you know?"

THEM CROOKED VULTURES taped a performance for the Austin City Limits TV program on September 30.

Several short clips of both live and studio performances by the trio have already surfaced on YouTube.

	COMMENT \| QOSA... II posted by : inversion 10/26/2009 11:26:24 AM

	not bad, its ok but alittle too much like Queens of the Stone age.. which aint a bad thing. But for a new band I would like a new sound.

	COMMENT \| eh posted by : brir 10/26/2009 11:32:00 AM

	it's ok, not loving it. will give the whole record a chance based on the players, but if this weren't Grohl, Homme, and JPJ I'd think it was kind of generic. As above poster noted, sounds a bit too much like QOTSA, and not enough like a mixture of all that these three have done!

	Awesome!!!!!! JPJ....Enough said.

	COMMENT \| Too Queens of the Stone Age... posted by : BlabberMagnetic 10/26/2009 12:03:49 PM

	..ish.

	I'm with Trevil. 2/3 of the band are talented. Homme is godawful. I made it 45 seconds into the song.

	COMMENT \| Awesome posted by : RiotAct666 10/26/2009 1:04:52 PM

	Can't wait for the CD

	COMMENT \| * posted by : Slaveyard 10/26/2009 2:09:47 PM

	not the best of choises for the first single.. there are better songs than New Fang!

	COMMENT \| posted by : booch 10/26/2009 3:45:51 PM

	It could be that there are better tunes, but New Fang is the most radio friendly, and it's smarter for the record company to go with that, than to go with the cooler, but less accessible tracks.

	Look at some of the comments on this forum. The complaining and the bashing. As if you're all awesome and your opinions matter. (laughs)

	Joshua Homme has the midas touch. If you don't agree, then you just don't know. It's so easy to say JPJ is a god and it's great to hear Grohl on drums again. But anyone in the know understands that Josh is the driving force behind this band. Do you think JPJ or Grohl are doing this for money? Nope. They are doing for the opportunity to work with someone who is arguably the greatest guitarist/songwriter alive.

	COMMENT \| posted by : froosh_17 10/28/2009 11:35:49 AM

	^sepulqotsa I'm with you. Grohl and JPJ are doing this just for fun, because they're good friends with Homme, and not for the money. But unlike what happened with Chickenfoot, THIS IS QUALITY MATERIAL! I wouldn't go as far as saying that Homme is one of the greatest guitarists alive (he's just average IMO, though I like his playing), but where he stands out is as one of the most talented songwriters I've ever come across, and there's no point on denying that: whether people like him or not, NO ONE is doing what he does nowadays, and NO ONE sounds like him. He's an absolutely unique genius, as well as his partners.
