1:49PM Jess McGuire | Heard of Them Crooked Vultures? They’re quite the supergroup, you know. The band consists of rock’s hottest ginger Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal, Kyuss), Dave Grohl (little known indie band called Nirvana, Foo Fighters), and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), and their debut album is on the verge of being released… but you can have a listen after the jump!

Dude, The Foo Fighters Came Through For The Beaconsfield Miners!
2:09PM Jess McGuire | In a story sure to warm the cockles of even the most icy of hearts this plodding Friday, it seems All Round Rock And Roll Good Guy TM and frontman of Foo Fighters, Sir Dave Grohl Esq, has delivered on a solemn oath made to Brant Webb and Todd Russell last year.
The wife of Beaconsfield mine survivor Brant Webb has thanked American band the Foo Fighters for coming good on a promise to compose a song about the ordeal.
Frontman Dave Grohl has confirmed that an instrumental inspired by the rockfall and subsequent tale of survival in northern Tasmania will feature on the band’s new album.
…
Grohl composed Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners during the band’s three-night acoustic tour at the Sydney Opera House last October, performing it when the Webb’s attended the show.
After the Sydney Opera House gig, the band and the Webbs enjoyed “many” beers and Grohl gave his word the composition would feature on their sixth studio album, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace.
“I thought I’d write something for him,” Grohl told Rolling Stone magazine. “I came up with this instrumental thing. After the show, we went and got f—kin’ wasted in the hotel bar and I was like, ‘Dude, I promise I’m going to put this on the record’.”
This story is especially inspiring when one considers just how many rock promises starting with the word “Dude…” have been broken over the years. A couple that spring to mind are -
- “Dude, I’ll see you at the studio, just going to do a few laps of the pool first…” (Brian Jones)
- “Dude, everyone’ll be so focused on the tunes, they’ll barely notice I’m in the band! Dogstar’s gonna be respected for our talent!” (Keanu Reeves)
