HOMME + GROHL + JOHN PAUL JONES = BONER
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 1:33pm by Vince Neilstein
Metal Hammer reports that Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones (those are the dudes from Queens of the Stone Age / Kyuss, Foo FIghters / Nirvana and Led fucking Zeppelin respectively, for the uninitiated or just plain retarded), in what would be the second extremely boner-worthy collaboration involving Josh Homme to surface in the past month.
Grohl is kinda-sorta getting his childhood/ongoing wet-dream of playing drums for Zep, kinda sorta. The man can pretty much do no wrong in my book, whatwith Probot, playing with Mastodon, a million other side projects, and of course the continued quality output of Foo Fighters. A collabo with Josh Homme makes perfect sense given his stoner/metal background, and JPJ is just the icing on the cake! Gonna be some deep, stoney shit.

This is so awesome. Best news of the day.
holy fucking fuck yes. there is no way this could be bad. i hope this doesn’t interfere with the homme/patton collab
Stop teasing me and say no more until you know when we actually get to hear any of this. Seriously, my nipples hurt.
Yes yes yes!
Great news. Grohl’s drum work on Songs for the Deaf was fantastic, so we already know that he works quite well with Homme. Should be awesome!
What an understatement friend….those drum tracks KILLED!
Hells yes. I just wish Grohl did more drumming for QOTSA (his stuff with NIN was pretty killer as well).
what if the mike patton collab and this project are one in the same :O
Then the universe will explode, for that level of pure awesomeness cannot be contained within this universe.
foo queens of the bungle zeppelin
led fighters stoned no more
“and of course the continued output of Foo Fighters”
Fixt. They’ve been making the same record over and over for years now. I guess it’s not too hard though when your formula is to write a catchy pop rock tune and then give it an epic vibe by just repeating the last chorus about ten times more than it needs to be with a few extra power chords thrown in.
go. fuck. self.
nothing wrong with that. It’s better that the modern rock radio is dominated with a billion same-sounding Foo Fighters songs than a billion of god awful Nickelback/Creed bullshit and their wannabes.

Thanks, metalsucks. Now I need a new pair of jeans.
I’m not a big fan of the Foos or Nirvana but everything else Grohl has ever touched has been kickass. Especially his collaboration with the almighty Homme on Songs For The Deaf, which I think is his best drum performance ever. Anything involving these two geniuses is bound to be fucking killer, especially when you get a fucking Zeppelin member involved. Good to see you guys showing some love to the heavier side of rock and roll/stoner rock. I’m gonna go listen to Blues For The Red Sun now.
That is the best thing I have heard all day, cannot wait.
Hell yeah, I just went from six to midnight,
i see what you did there.
I know Captain Beyond made the point earlier, but I’m always surprised at your love for Foo Fighters. I don’t hate them, but their “corporate radio” poppy, rocky, metally, alty music is tailor-made for the radio sound you guys so despise. And you don’t even couch it in terms of “guilty pleasure”. What next, Puddle of Mudd?
Obviously if you just likened Foo Fighters with Puddle of Mudd, then you have no business talking about any of this.
No, I’m not likening FF to POM, but they’re both played on the same radio station playlists.
And you clearly missed my point. The point was that this site is usually filled with hate towards any band or artist that “makes it” and sells over 35 albums, hence my surprise at the Foo Fighters love (and Tool). I don’t personally dislike Foo Fighters.
eh, you just gotta look beyond the radio hits sometimes man, they have a lot of great material.
I have nothing against music just because it’s poppy. Although most poppy music sucks, that doesn’t mean it all does. Being commercial doesn’t automatically make something shit, it’s just that those two things (commercial and shitty) USUALLY go hand in hand. The Foos have some pretty lame singles, but they’ve also got some good songs that got radio airplay. All My Life is a good example. That’s just some kickass rock and roll. I guess unlike most serious metalheads I don’t despise hooks. I wish more good music was popular.
This has serious potential.
Surely, we must all agree that Grohl is a superb slammer.
Did anyone besides me buy the Diamanda Galas & John Paul Jones/ The Sporting Life album?
That chick is super-fucked(in a good way), what with her 4 octave range and just plain scary persona PLUS Zeppelinesque bass grooves AND a killer drummer.
Track one off that album scares the shit outta the cat every time she hits those high notes.
This is going to be so good. Grohl is the man, loved that he did a whole album with Killing Joke as well…who I think are a very underrated band. Probot was sick as well, and although I could never really get into Queens of the Stone Age too much I like some of their stuff. And Zeppelin is well…Zeppelin. So this should/will own.
Josh Homme is a fantastic guitarist and all-around musician. If you can’t get into Queens you should check out Kyuss, they kick ass.
Yea, I don’t like Queens but I do really like Kyuss.

Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones what?! TYPO!!!!1 FALSE NEWS!!!!!!!!1111
Foo fighters should be taken of the surface of the earth as soon as possible, they are the new red hot crappy peppers in the industry of making the same fuckin crappy album time after time. But you gotta love Dave tho……
A portion of the proceeds will go to help in the fight against Foo.
