Them Crooked Vultures Draw Biggest Crowd at Austin City Limits
- Posted on Oct 3rd 2009 5:09PM by Charley Rogulewski
Day One of Austin City Limits belonged to Them Crooked Vultures -- the supergroup consisting of Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. "We'd like to play Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' right now," Homme said at the beginning of the set, "but we're not going to."
After running through a few tunes, including 'Mind Eraser,' Homme thought he'd let the crowd in on what exactly the band had in store. "I'm gonna tell you what these songs are called so you know what's going on for once," he joked. Before fans hopes got too high, he announced sarcastically, "This song is called 'I Love You Austin.'"
"This next song is real good, I promise," Homme said. "If not, you can blame Dave." We're not sure who's responsible for the dirty grit rock like that found on the Vultures' tune 'Scumbag Blues,' but thank you.

I LOVE Them Crooked Vultures! Best show I've seen in a long long time. Didn't John Paul Jones look young?? (especially considering how OLD Robert Plant looked last year at ACL)
