THEM CROOKED VULTURES "HIGHWAY ONE"@HOUSE OF BLUES BOSTON 10-11-09

[kyussurday]

@Culturein2Chaos

Fucking Awesome though! Josh is a living legend



[bennip192]

3:55 sounds familiar

[Eldererr]

Dedicate this song to whom?

[21stCenturyDeadline]

Josh Homme is the best artist of the 21st century.

[GreenDayDookieDemos]

The title comes from a song by the Foxboro Hottubs.

[xehan]

Fucking Grohl.

Genius.

[sick0304]

@Culturein2Chaos original but it's not on the record

[Tecumseh1812]

this material sounds strangely familiar to me even though I know it 's all original .outstanding

[bucktoastsandwich]

Very impressive original music, this band blows my mind!

[VinylCentral]

they put this on there 10'' single for record store day i didnt buy it and just discovered how awesome they are and how i really need to pick it up

[Tecumseh1812]

sounds very much like something from one of Jones' solo albums ( which are all badass by the way)

[OzoneReviews]

Is this a cover of ane existing song? because it's not on the album...

[GAGICH4817]

@OzoneReviews it just got released today.. and its theirs

[Cyclonicbox]

lol its the bass version of a mandolin. Look it up man.

[Cyclonicbox]

lol yay JPJ is playing a mandocello :D

[only1joe4life]

Mandocello? Mandolin...

Or is Mandocello some slang for it or something? Haha

[lasenzak]

Psychedelic Nightmares with Beautiful Riffs. Delicious.

[QCHammer]

JPJ is playing a mandolin

[leometry]

what is john paul jonese playing

[jewmunch22]

@leometry A distorted mandolin!

[5Cincinnatus]

this song sounds important

[smiletoowide]

this is still the best version of this song online

DAMMIT I WANT A STUDIO VERSION

[Anxiety7h3Band]

@smiletoowide I'm pretty sure this will be on their second album, which is already being written and worked on according to Dave Grohl. You should see a studio version by next year. Dave says the next album will be more powerful than the first... This scares me, as their self titled album is at the top of my list of top 50 best albums. That might change if Dave is correct.

[LynxMamba]

John Paul Jones, you brilliant bastard!

[xSeanDrumsx]

Why can Grohl do a simple beat and make it ungodly complex? He's not a mortal man.

[cobaltblue72]

he rocks to hard because he's not a mortal man. GOD DAMNIT KAGE!

[haolekillah]

@cobaltblue72 i think he can be killed by nothing

[NYNick20]

(End Chorus) "The sun sets on Highway 1, Saturn will devour his son, Ghosts on the run forever, There's no hell, there's no heaven, We must go home, home my brother. Wrong once before, now wrong another. Saturn will devour his son, As the sun sets on Highway 1."

(Last Verse) "I want to sail away & fill the empty space. Swallow whole into the sea, I miss my brothers face."

My favorite lyrics in the song.

[smiletoowide]

perfect

[Raenduz]

He'll pick up a mandolin and blow your head off.'' - Dave Grohl on JPJ.

[Zimbabweland]

This band is funny... a generation x guitarist and drummer and a hippie... I love them all

[montydust78]

man, this song is sick...that would've been sweet if it was a bonus track....

[Cankersaurus3]

hah, jpj looks like hal from malcolm in the middle. that makes him ten times more awesome than he already is

[kudelbudel]

LOL

[PatHaynes1]

there is two but they are both live tracks of songs on the album

[PatHaynes1]

i was hoping that this would be a bonus track....damn

[Sawbones84]

@PatHaynes1 I heard there are two bonus tracks when you order from itunes. haven't confirmed for myself yet

[xtremeskillz510]

2:28 Josh sounds a bit like Mark Lanegan? lol

[zeppelin6601]

Is Homme using a telecaster in this song? It sounds pretty sick.

[MrHobbes17]

a highway 1 telecaster perhaps?

[Spaghettaboutit]

@MrHobbes17 Or it could just be able Highway 1 that runs up and own the coast of California....

[smiletoowide]

probably both, josh uses a telecaster a lot in this album, and he has a tendency to write songs that have something to do with driving,

also he's a motor bike fanatic from california so im sure thats in there somewhere

[smull450]

better be on the album

[Conifer44]

god i hope they do/did a studio version of this and release it. that'd be fucking great

[Cankersaurus3]

it will probably be on their next album, which they said they are probably gonna make

[hulkomania]

dey said in an interview dat dey made 18 songs but dnt want 2 release d other 5 as bsides cause it makes dem seem inferior 2 d other tracks on d album nd dat dey are stil tryin t figure out what t do with d extra ones.

[smiletoowide]

thats an interesting bit of information and i thank you for sharing but substituting "d" for "th" makes it awful to read

[hulkomania]

yeh sorry.its an irish thing.we purnouce "the" like "d" where i live so we tend to write it like that 2 save time.

[smiletoowide]

.....no we dont

[AreYouIrrelevant]

Type properly man.

[bodman4107]

@hulkomania um what? where the hell did you learn english?

[threshers1234]

Write the english you've been taught.

[mike8536]

Reading that hurt my head. Anyways the rest of the songs are:

Brake Glass, Bombs Away, Dead Wrong, Highway One, Orca, You Can't Possibly Begin to imagine.

[gman2989]

How did you learn that? I want those songs so freaking bad lol.

[HowellKenny]

They said it was a new song that they never played before.

[rhythmthing]

Wow, cool. Isn´t in as in the old times when Jonesy played Mandoline in the Led Zep accustic sets??

I´ll see them in  Munich - yippieh.

[mitchki]

I am soooo jealous. They aren't coming to Canada yet :(

[Phayze22]

iv seen them live in toronto

[Zephyr199]

@Phayze22 I was with you :P hey Mat!

[crvermette]

his vocals really sound like Scott Anderson of Finger Eleven in this one... super cool tune, too bad it didn't make the album!

[h1soka]

Hahaha

[NYNick20]

Damn, this song didn't make the album! But I'm sure josh will release it anyway for free to get back at interscope.

[jonnyrocketballs69]

secret track at the end i bet. awesome.

[thegossoking]

ya this is one on my favorite tcv tracks ,hopefully they'll do a full album then release a long ep with songs like this after a few months like the gutter twins did with satrunalia and then adorata,

the live version is awesome but tracks of this quality deserve studio treatment too,.

[mike8536]

To whoever recorded this: Thank You.

Where the fuck is Alain, the other guy in the band...?

[mitchki]

I've watched other videos of this song and for this song Alain plays bass off to the sidelines.... I think.

I guess the cameraman for this just didn't care too much for TCV's underrated 'other' guitarist. (Not that I mind!)

[ignaciousJ]

this is going to sound great in the studio

[Joah1991]

It really will. I can't wait.

[nap1056]

this song is named after a fender tele?

[bacara50]

i have now grown respect for the mandolin

[GJJ465]

This is incredible.

[RMNTNayn]

Grohl looks like a beast at 2:30

[thegossoking]

grohl is a beast

[barden1069]

that is some damn sweet mandolin work

[Andragon90]

Sweet harmonies. Trippy.

[popsfreshnmyer]

Thanks for uploading this!

[hoptop77]

sweet ive got an highway 1

[GregNey]

Thank you so much for capturing/sharing these!

[Joah1991]

This is amazing.

[cserrano86]

Your vid is more awesome than mine... Thanks for posting.

[gman2989]

I was there lol!!!! First people in the world to hear this song.

[Dangilman]

wow.... JPJ is rockin out! They really looked like they enjoyed playing that song. I think it's awesome that they are busting out new songs on an already spankin-new album. My only wish: that they would have done this in Austin!

[Nevermind900426]

freaking awesome

[SandDrake]

Yes, this is Highway One.

[chuckwagg]

has to be. this is the only song that hasnt been heard at any of the other shows.

[Gilmour56]

is this highway one?
