Them Crooked Vultures Perform "Mind Eraser, No Chaser"

[FruitLeatherYT]

Why are people surprised by the crowd? I thought everybody knew American crowds blow. I wish I could attend shows in Europe or Australia. Now those guys know how to move.

[ericthecro]

If i was there i'd literally be picking people up and throwing them in order to start something going.

[scartissue94]

If I saw the bassist of Led Zeppelin and the drummer of Nirvana onstage, I would be fucking happy, unlike that dumbass audience.

[MikefromMesia]

Alain Johannes is such a sick giutarist!! I can't wait to hear his new album

[gislibesti13]

0:16 how could he miss that bell

[SebaChannel]

@gislibesti13 excuse him, he is dave grohl

[russelgman]

I haven't listened to these guys in like 2 months....god, i completely forgot how fucking awesome they are. I hope they tour again!

[003ralf003caster]

This may sound weird, but if you wanna be a good drummer, learn guitar first...

When you're a ex-guitarist turned drummer and you have to find or improvise a drum for a song ( let's say you compose), you really learn to feel the guitars vibes and find a drum thta fits, rather than just playing in the beat

[bille77]

Yeah, great band but soft-headed music. I love FooFighters, Kyuss, QotSA, but this suff is volitionally pretentious. Fuck you all

[roryisgoed]

John paul "muffdiver" jones, best fucking bass player evaaah

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

i would totally invite Dave to my party so he can make wine

[BasanTX]

Amazing!

[g00mba00]

the only way they could have had a better lineup is if they had Satan playing bongos

[motley666cobain]

i feel sorry for the drums. daves a demon

[epicalice]

JESUS'S HOUSE BAND.

[LelleLawliet02]

i don't know why but dave reminds me john bonham... amazing band .-.

[Suka00]

i think u have better luck finding a polar bear in the amazon than to find a head banger in that crowd...awesome performance!!!

[Langtw]

Lyrics fail, just noticed.

[Siikdrummer]

@Langtw could also be that they were doing a certain show that they couldn't say "law abiding dicks" idk

[Rockid9040]

@Siikdrummer Actually, the lyric there is "Now run along face lift" He screwed up and used the first line from the second verse.

[calibrada]

@Rockid9040 well, it sounded more like mumbling cause he forgot, but he recovered fast, impressive

[rockatanius]

pretty bad recording, sounds really weak when it really shouldn't

[cremekongen1705]

jpj looks so happy :)

[Seekanddestroyable]

John Paul is the shit,man!!!!No Question ask!!

[supperunknown]

i love you Dave! ;D

[WMackbd]

That crowd is shit. I might have given my anal virginity to have been there.

[remotecody]

Sweet, I never knew Craig Kilborn was in a band!

[RyanSH09]

hahah Grohl looks mental 

[RyanSH09]

hahah Grohl looks mental

[tacoburn11]

wow, the audience has no idea who they are in the presence of. Living legends in John Paul Jones of effin LED ZEPPELIN, Dave Grohl who played alongside Kurt Cobain. Wow I would be on my knees.

[alleypuppy]

Lol Dave plays the same as he did in Nirvana

[die4pie]

@carliealia: You are fucking right, sir

[Saeru]

yeah, the audience is pretty lame...probably wanting to see Kanye West or something...

[TheReaperToast]

Where's the "I fuckin love that" button??

[vio2112]

Nirvana's drummer playing with Led Zeppelins bassist. Never thought I'd see that.

[paultaters]

@vio2112 Remember him for Foo Fighters. Not Nirvana. 

[TheSchoolsux345]

@vio2112 (whispers) remember him for both. but mostly nirvana.

[duduledhyrule]

@vio2112 i'd rather see flea with them =) he's got much more energy and add a little crazy guitarist and you've got the best band live ever =P

[tjittosz]

@duduledhyrule John's better.

[NplaCEBoO]

@duduledhyrule - John Paul Jones has loads more charisma than Flea... these guys are playing with him because they idolise him, not Flea. Flea is all fingerwork and no style, no sex...

[semitar6]

Awesome live performace....great musicanship...lame crowd though..

[Kevindigsdrumming]

I fuckin DIG homme's playing style!

[YeominYoon]

Dave Grohl is my hero! :D

[vrdrums]

Just a question I've always wondered: what's the tape underneath cymbals and underneath the drums on Dave's kit? I know his cymbals aren't taped but I've seen it other places. Thanks.

[svveett]

@vrdrums The tape under the drums is most likely some kind of tape used to dampen any kind of maybe unwanted overtone, or to shorten resonance to make it sound short and punchy.

[DrummingDrummer15]

Dave looks better on drums

[UKwildcatfan1985]

Now thats some real music.

[Zeppelingirl101]

john paul jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peaceattack89]

Unsure how the past 10 years have been the musical dark ages in the western world. Maybe focusing purely on popular music. And yes, auto-tune may have been the worst invention ever. But just look for good music, and you'll find it. Brilliant, innovative musicians are everywhere. I, for one, am thrilled to be alive with all the incredible music being made today (you know, the stuff not on the radio).

[MrOzzyHD]

@peaceattack89 Hey i heard tool the other day and that was on the radio!

[cursedswordsman]

cockadoodle dick

[PeterZeeke]

reminds me of top of the pops ah! memories!

[TheXeffect100]

Dave Grohl > Jesus.

[coheedandchiodos]

nobody drums like dave!!!!

[Neverblink6]

Dave and JPJ harmonize so well. It sounds like the studio backing, which I wasn't expecting, for some reason.

[vinonardon]

I love Josh Homme's guitar.

[NightmareSnake]

I think Dave and Josh should switch places for one song. That would be cool to see.

[ironpenguin94]

Dave Grohl is a fucking legend!

that is how you drum

[badugee]

love it!

[Kurtis575]

No arguments, Them Crooked Vultures is the greatest band this generation has ever seen and heard! TCV Forever!

[Vill1988]

THAT IS HOW YOU DRUM IN A ROCK BAND

[SomeDooD555]

Still crowd is still. Maybe because all their minds were blown.

[RebelThoughts]

Chuck Norris must make Dave Grohl's drum kits! Only a super drum kit can take that type of beating! 

[JustinPierce1226]

David Grohl Reminds me alot of John Bonham (He would flip a nut if I said that lol). He has the skill, the strength behind the drumming, and I am sure is a HUGE Led Zeppelin nut (Hence he performed with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones). But, this man could fill in for John Bonham in a Led Zeppelin setup anyday and I would love it. He attacks the set and goes for it in such a chaotic manor. A great drummer.

[JustinPierce1226]

It is good to see Jonezy getting some credit. I met him a couple times. Good fellow. He was what made Led Zeppelin, and now he makes up Them Crooked Vultures' heavy bass lines. Like a modern take on a chaotic band. I am loving it

[Segelflugpilot]

Dave Grohl isnt just drumming, hes attacking the drumset!

[emojesusfreak22]

how dave grohl doesn't break a drumstick every five seconds is beyond me.

[xgiveandgetx]

Dave, what a machine full of energy!

[vinonardon]

John always look so ... "sexual" playing bass. Not that he is sexy, but as is every note was full of sexual tension.

[Tuberidin01]

I feel so bad for that drumset. I hope it made it through the night.

[mikey2501]

Dave is such a machine ... awesome!

[dsharvey2005]

I want to be as badass as John Paul Jones when I am 64!!!

[deathiscoming]

I friggin' love this band, but Josh Homme looks like a damn zombie on stage. Everyone else up there is full of energy and he's...not. I mean, I don't expect him to be as lively as Dave, but come on.

[synfan7x]

This is the Best Super Group ever and they even sound great live to.

[shiningwizard11548]

john paul jones looks younger o_O

[steffsweet45]

my favorite song by them, i learned it on bass,guitar and drums its so good

[ekirtsretnuoc]

dave has got a extra strong drumkit ... every normal kit would be smashed when he would hit it :D 

[carliealia]

Wow...perhaps THE lamest crowd I've ever seen. The greatest band on the planet right now and the audience is standing there with their hands in their pockets. I guess that's what you get when you hand out freeby concert passes to tourists. I mean, awesome Kimmel is young and hip enough to have a band like TCV on the show, but fuck people....put down your goddamn Blackberries and show some respect for the display of awesomeness and vintage musicianship in front of you!!!

[JazzBass420]

@carliealia I totally fucking agree... how the hell are people just standing there man? Dude, its John Paul Jones for Christ sake.... Josh Homme and Dave.... three of the greatest.. I would have loved to have been there and these people don't seem to appreciate shit...

[ndheath]

@carliealia

Just a response to the lamest crowd comment. The crowd was so blown away into total paralysis. They had never seen such an amazing group or heard the music. Total sensory domination. You can hear the crowd's appreciation at the end of the song. Also, notice how no one leaves the show. The crowd was in total aw. Don't blame them! When this came out no one heard of TCV. Can't wait for album #2!!!! TCV fan 4 life! :)

[grenade0wnyou]

@carliealia yeah its a shame the crowd werent ripping their own nuts off to sound of TCV, i would have, but i think the crowd must have been like "can we go ape shit?" and the TV dudes must have been like "no, stfu were recording for tv and shit"

[Langtw]

@grenade0wnyou Yeah, there are videos of Deep Purple doing a TV performance of Child in Time, the crowd was DEAD. If you so much as move you get kicked out.

[monsterwilly23]

@carliealia Dude, people as a whole are douches. They don't see greatness for what it is. And this is greatness.

[RobbyStyrene]

wow they tore it up! love it

[toxin789]

good supergroups have finally appered the dead weather and them crooked vultures

[ariesarmaghan]

Ive seen them at download , PERFECT , 

[sejemandhaha]

fucking hell, I didn't knew Josh could play guitar!

[soundboy3]

@sejemandhaha Josh is a kick ass guitarist actually... his own style definitely, nobody sounds like him and he doesn't really sound like anyone else. Tone monster and loves melodic AND atonal leads. He isn't a shredder, his guitar sings.

[sejemandhaha]

@soundboy3 dude, he just plays rock n roll, leave it there :P

[ssonicdeafmonkey]

I like dave better on a tama set.



[dlg9000]

OK i know their a great band but im choosing to comment on the sweet telecaster Josh Homme is playing awesome and i dont even play guitar

[ifutureman]

seeing John Paul Jones up there tearing it up on the bass and SINGING backups too! It makes me so happy I could cry. I know Grohl and Homme are mega-cool (and Johannes is the consumate pro) but Jonesy is THE SHIT!!!!

[Ulianne123]

Dave Grohl is SO full of energy... damn thats crazy... :)

[SingeTheBand]

whos the guy in the hat?

[xSeanDrumsx]

@SingeTheBand Alain Johannes.

[SingeTheBand]

@xSeanDrumsx is this is first band or was he already famous too? 

[xSeanDrumsx]

@SingeTheBand He was in Queens of The Stone Age, and he was in his band with Natasha Shneider, Eleven.

[SingeTheBand]

@xSeanDrumsx oh i wouldn't of known that, thank you

[soundboy3]

@xSeanDrumsx and Kyuss as bassist.

[soundboy3]

@soundboy3 Guitarist, sorry... my bad.

[xSeanDrumsx]

@soundboy3 Are you talking about Alain or Josh? Josh was the guitarist for Kyuss, always. Kyuss is fucking sweet too!

[FooZeppelin]

@SingeTheBand Behind the drumkit? a guy called Gersh he is Grohls drumtech he moves the mic to him on the stand aswell. Met him outside the Royal Albert Hall gig - top bloke.

[SingeTheBand]

@FooZeppelin no the guy on secondary guitar

[92android]

<3 <3 <3

[CudiC4MNM]

Fairplay to JPJ, he looks like he's having loads of fun up there!

And fairplay to Alain, he has some amazing back up vocals!

[bezmolvie]

ive been listening to music on youtube the whole night and every other comment page is filled with people complaining about pop music, talking about what "real" music is and reminiscing about the good ol' times...cant you get a friggin diary?

[reawakegh]

Awesome but its a shame they didnt have have that awesome ending.

[carlos50105]

everyone rocks in this band, including Alain Johannes

[TwoCows23]

John Paul Jones looks the youngest. That's awesome.

[Zanfrobe07]

@TwoCows23 haa this made me lol

[haisevaewok]

Someone is drunk. Guess who.

[CudiC4MNM]

@haisevaewok Josh?

[haisevaewok]

@CudiC4MNM It was rethoric but yes, the answer is Josh. You're the big winner my dear friend. Fresh pots to ya.

[burgos36]

oh my fucking god

....this band is one of the best bands in the world at today

[osubucks69]

Damn! Very impressive.

[simsyboi111]

is it me or has josh homme put on weight

[guitarman2793]

@simsyboi111 he has since the songs for the deaf days. grohl has gotten bigger over the years.

[justcaz9971]

dave is one of the best drummers ever

[CudiC4MNM]

They got the words on the 1st chorus. It should have been "law abiding, dick riding fun police leave us alone" but they sing the words from the 2nd chorus, then realise they fucked up. Ah well, fucking awesome still.

[Murrison]

The crowd could have been a BIT more into it

[aczeppelindc2908]

PLEASE film John Paul Jones more, his bass guitar looks so bad fucking ass!!!

[funkyjoemama]

Real music. What an idea! And the singer is actually singing instead of lip-synching or using auto-tune because they can't sing in key for shit! Most people don't realize it but the western world is in the dark ages when it comes to music. Has been for at least the past 10 years.

[TheSchoolsux345]

@funkyjoemama whenever i hear that auto tune bullshit i feel like throwing up, i saw kesha on saturday night live, and shes so untalented that she couldnt stay on one note, for people that dont know how auto tune works, that means that she was singing no where near pitch.

[MattA7Xfan4Life]

@funkyjoemama not if you listen to the right shit. most of the good stuff is underground now.

[dsdrake]

@funkyjoemama Well said sir....well said

[dwelman1]

@funkyjoemama only if you count radio pop music though. the stuff that went on just underneath the surface the last ten years was amazing imo

[MAX96CKY]

@funkyjoemama You're forgetting the bands like CKY and Clutch that are simply amazing.

[beanboyo]

@funkyjoemama Stupid question, but was is auto-tune?

[NightmareSnake]

@funkyjoemama Yeah, all the REAL music comes from places east of the Atlantic.

[bigk73089]

@funkyjoemama That is a false statement if i've ever heard one. If anyone cared to peek behind the pop bands we've been producung quality musicians since rock and roll was invented. and the problem isn't with the western world but with the whole world.

[Drratburn]

@funkyjoemama Too bad the majority of the band is from the U.S; which makes your points basically null and void. I agree that music like this, music that isn't over produced/edited, is what REAL music is, but America isn't all just fake music. True American music, material deserving of the classification of art, is among the best that is around.

[bmanhawks]

Get to see them tonight at the Joint! Can't wait!

[jek21]

I love this song

[judomouse]

I can understand why people seem to be slating Homme im this video because he definitely isnt up to his usual standards. A nervous/shakey performance.

TCV live at Reading on the other hand...

[empiresellscrack]

they should have just done the whole show about tmv

[popoto31x31]

/watch?v=RN7nneWgveU

[RebelThoughts]

Greatest band out there these days as far as i'm concerned. All these guys are legends.

[loginkill]

the only best thing about this band is Dave Grohl.. what a great drummer!

[0Mexicola0]

@loginkill sorry but you are an idiot...

[TwilightOfficialChan]

awesome performance!

[zoarification]

dave grohl¡¡¡ monsterrr¡¡¡

[yolo1998]

omg so great!!

[aaronalwines]

i cant imagine how grohl's playing isnt overpowering the band's sound, hes absolutely bashing, im guessing he isnt being full miced up

[radioexpV2]

@aaronalwines R U f*ckin kiddin me? Thants John Paul Jones and Josh f*cking Homme. No one over powers those fu<kin guys.

[PlaneettaKaravaanari]

Great performance! Oh and 3:37 "HIJAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

[torsoboy86]

good song, but sounds a bit too much foo fighter-y for them crooked vultures

[ddaypunk06]

@torsoboy86 funny that this is their first album and there is little actual basis to that opinion lol. It sounds more like a fusion of foo and Queens of the stone age...which makes sense in the end.

[umphrekish]

@ddaypunk06 ... You can definitely hear that Zep/JPJ influence big time in Reptiles

[MrBlink909]

lol i was right behind jimmy when he announced them..(dude with gray sweater black hat) hhahahaa

[maidenfreak213]

i was there, front row too. directly in front of dave grohl. great show

[belumani]

Does anyone know what guitar Homme is using? is it a EP G400 SG-61??? :P

[ak2112]

@belumani Josh isn't playing an SG of any kind. It's a Telecaster.

[belumani]

OMG!!! I can't believe that they went on here! Is simply ADORE them!!! Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, and John... Perfect combo :) love these guys

[blanco420]

Dave Grohl fucking rocks!

[V19torrent]

josh homme looks so cool playing up there. Nice guitar too.

I mean it looks bloody difficult to sing while playing that complicated riff.

[Malteboy777]

These guys suck! Cause the lead singer/lead guitarist SUCK!

I mean, the drummer, (who's the leadsinger of The Foo Fighters, who where Nirvanas old drummer) him and the bassist rules.. But those guitarists suck! =/

[cishler]

@Malteboy777 You are an idiot

[Malteboy777]

@cishler Wrong.. I just like a lead singer who plays guitar, to actually have a great sound on his guitar! This guy doesn't even sound great when he sings!

[forallthecowsff]

@Malteboy777  you fail, yet again.

[belumani]

@Malteboy777 Have you ever seen any other Josh Homme concerts, or songs? They are AMAZING!!!

[Malteboy777]

@belumani No I don't think I have..!? Not any one just as crappy as this, I just tell you what I can see and hear.. He sucks really bad.. That's my opinion, take it or leave it.. But deal with it!

[belumani]

@Malteboy777 listen to some other of their songs, or QOTSA, or other Homme's songs, he is AMAZING!

[Soffelulz]

@Malteboy777 Dude, why can't you just shut up?... If people enjoy listening to them then I guess it's a reason behind that. For example that they make good music together. Please stop flaming videos.

[Malteboy777]

@Soffelulz Yea I can do that =) Someone finally got it.. yes..!

[Subsistancer]

This band is hot.
