Them Crooked Vultures @ BBC Radio 1 - Full Concert

[@an99ik]

...still listening to this in late 2024, this supergroup is awesome

[@dansilvert]

I discovered TCV about a month ago and can’t believe I was only 15 years late. MENC, DEF and Caligulove don’t make my top five songs, which shows you how insane this album was. (Top five in no order is NOLMANDI, NF, Elephants, SB and Bandoliers).

[@MEGAxBROSKI]

the amount of talent in that room is absurd. Probably the greatest super group ever.

[@kathrynlaird5603]

I'm sure each one of those guys would consider Zeppelin to be more of a super group than this band.

[@MEGAxBROSKI]

Supergroups are a band that's made of more than one famous member from more than one band. Led Zeppelin is an established group by themselves.

[@chriserrickson1624]

Brady Newsome zeppelin was that. look for it :D

[@weisniicht]

Brady Newsome i do agree with that, however "killers be killed" migth be just as good, their first release was killer

Bigger than Cream?

[@joeblackwolf17]

Alain is a great musician, a hidden treasure that shines in the deepest caves of rock and roll music. influential yet silent in a way. amazing.

[@chriserrickson1624]

and chilean!!.... to bad here in chile most of the people don't even know him and he's been at almost every side from rock n' roll history since the late 80's im proud of him.

[@joeblackwolf17]

really. wow people should really take notice and exactly be proud of him. Someone you can be proud of. a great artist

Spinning In Daffodils...one of the single best songs ever written.

[@daverlb]

i concur

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

The intro somehow reminds me of "Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue.

[@dante224real1]

this is one of the best things. period.

[@briang5894]

Daniel Magalhães i just think Josh should either just play guitar or just sing. Being 2 out of 4 just makes it too similar to QOSA. Thankfully Dave isn't singing how about u guys start a project and get a truly blessed​ "real" singer. Obviously Nirvana and Kyuss had better vocals, and what is a huge factor of why it was insanely good.

[@greyforge27]

You can really tell how much they're all enjoying themselves.

[@Screech891]

yeaah dude. That's what I love about these dudes. The're in it to create something really awesome and enjoy it, not about makin money

[@danteer2310]

God dammit. John Paul Jones is so rock solid. His subtle little fills are amazing. Listen to this with a good set of earphones and you can hear every note he's playing

[@BrookJolley]

He and carol kaye are the 2 best bass writing songwriters to ever live. She did the mission impossible theme song along with multiple uncredited albums etc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Kaye, and he did "Babe I'm going to leave you" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5XVcpeZrat1b8Um23s) along with all the other Zeppelin hits, the 2 of them are responsible for so many hit grooves on rock songs and inspired so many people to play that instrument that people still say sucks sometimes (idiots).

[@benjaminthornton1919]

[@fenixred1278]

John Paul Jones is definitely the most talented one in this group. 😍

[@tristanbouchonnet1461]

That little "thing" that Dave do at the beginning of New Fang is incredibly groovy to hear AND beautiful to watch !! Legend

[@Wicasta]

This is one of my favorite albums of this century so far. I've been astonished by the resistance to it. Haven't been able to get any of my musician friends interested in it, and some people can't get past the Grohl-hate (which I've never understood). I still don't get why this wasn't a much bigger record than it was. It remains a largely undiscovered gem.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

The respective managers, attorneys, various record companies weren't making as much money off this as opposed to another record by their respective group. Often, these projects get made to please the artists, but get "sabotaged" so they go back to their regular gig. Plus, what record company will push a record if the artists don't tour too much to support it? Sometimes, it just gets lost in the shuffle. At least it's out there.

[@chrisplatt1986]

Agreed. I love the album.

[@davidwelsh829]

fuck the Grohl haters, the more I watch Dave the more I like the guy, just saw FF 3 weeks ago and he was fucking great

[@DrTomoculus]

I can't profess to "Grohl-Hate". I can't have much to do with him when it comes to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, cuz he knows something about it, and if there ever was a prime suspect for something, well, Love is it. So I just can't be a Grohl fan. But in truth, I just want him to stay on drums. When he ventures off of them, I lose interest. Foo Fighters just aren't my thing, but I do like "Rope" alot. But when he's on drums, I am absolutely happy with the dude.

[@seanmitchell5438]

saw these guys on tour before the album dropped. was hands down one of the best shows in my life.

Dave's drumming can elevate anything tbh. The power plus the technicality he has is unmatched and I can't imagine any other drummer for this band, spinning in daffodils being one of my favorite drums ever.

Still come back to listen to this a few times a year. What a great performance. I like how all the band are looking at john paul jones in awe at the end when john is improvising on the keys like the rock god he is. Love Dave grohls drumming on this track too....💥💥💥

[@rexdaileg6573]

If you try and think and picture them as just a normal band, just an upcoming band with a debut record, it's the kind of music that will catch your attention and will want to listen to it. This band is great not because they're a supergroup but they make great music

[@powerguidokilmister8860]

PowerGuido Kilmister On the album, they sound mature after interlude with ludes, but before that they are more childish.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Alain Johannes is so badass that he kept Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons from playing on the first Red Hot Chili Peppers album. What Is This were a pretty awesome band. He fits in perfect here and they should have more closeups on him.

[@marklondon2008]

+deathmetaldouglas69 I agree - it's a bit strange he's not included as much. I guess it's do with the whole 'supergroup' thing. But considering the people he's played with, he meets that requirement. In interviews I've seen Josh and Dave mention him, but the interviewers always skip over it.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

***** They should let him record with them but they only did that one album over 5 years ago. Time for a new one guys!?

[@smadaman101]

Yeah, I think it may be possible that he doesn't like being in the spotlight too.. Idk. Then again, the band doesn't really have a say in who is filmed, and who ppl want to interview. He's underappretiated for sure, but so is tcv. Many ppl that would love this band have never heard of them

[@Stechunderscore]

+deathmetaldouglas69 Why did he keep them from playing on the first RHCP album?

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Stechunderscore Because they were in HIS band What is This. RHCP became a side project once WIT got signed and produced by Todd Rundgren. They had a video in 1985 covering The Spinners "I Be Around". Jack Irons is in the video but Hillel Slovak already rejoined RHCP in time for Freaky Styly. cliff Martinez drummed on that 2nd album and Jack Irons got to the "The Uplift Mofo Part Plan" which was the band's third and best album. Their 3rd album was the only album with ALL RHCP original members.
