Sounds awesome, the guitar kind of reminds me of Mission Impossible.

Yes! I immediately thought the same thing; a comparison shows them to be similar but different:

Theme Song for The Film Mission Impossible:

Scumbag Blues:

I must say I absolutely love this video production. It's truly exceptional and whomever produced it is a genious.

If anybody needs me I'll be checking into Room 15 for the remainder of the year.

Well, it's not Led Zeppelin but it's a piece of them at least.

Bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones will hook up with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl on drums and Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme on lead vocals and guitar in their newly formed outfit, Them Crooked Vultures, for an Oct. 9 show at The Sound Academy, the only Canadian date of their first North American tour.

Tix, $46, are on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster, Rotate This, by phone at 416-870-8000, online at livenation.com or ticketmaster.ca.

The group is also expected to have a new album out in the fall.

What is the deal with TCV pre-sales tomorrow (sept 3) for the US shows...does anyone know??

Thanks!!

Sharon

The UK pre-sales yesterday was chaotic, but I think most people that wanted tickets got them in the end.

You need to have signed up to the mailing list on the Crooked Vultures website and they sent out pre-sale instructions two days ago, with urls, passwords etc. I'm guessing you don't have that email?

I could kick myself for not signing up to their mailing list. I hope I'm still able to get tickets when they go on sale here on Saturday.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but UK fans wishing to buy advance tickets for TCV gigs at O2 venues can still do so before the tickets go on general sale if they are O2 customers. You need to register here: www.o2.co.uk/music

Then search for THEM CROOKED VULTURES ...obviously. B)
