The much-anticipated debut album from Them Crooked Vultures arrives in stores on Tuesday (November 17th). The self-titled disc features 13 tracks from the trio, which is comprised of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and Queens Of The Stone Age singer/guitarist Josh Homme. Homme told Antiquiet.com earlier this fall that the group has been deliberately secretive about their plans, saying, "What's funny is once you agree to do it . . . it has to work. Or it's like saying, 'Why couldn't it work between the three of you?'"
Metallica recently announced an early 2010 tour of South and Central America, with the band visiting two cities -- Panama City and San Jose, Costa Rica -- that it has never played before. The group will also hit Lima, Peru, for what promoters are expecting to be the biggest musical event ever staged in Peruvian history. Bassist Robert Trujillo was blown away when we told him that: ["Wow. The largest concert in Lima, Peru. I didn't know that, so this is special. For me going down there is special anyway. The fans are always next level. Getting down into Lima and further down into Brazil, Argentina -- we've got three shows at Argentina Riverplate Stadium -- to get into that region of the world and check out the culture down there is very exciting for us."]
Shinedown will hit the road in early 2010 for a winter U.S. trek, with Puddle Of Mudd and Skillet as opening acts. Although Skillet headlines its own tours on the Christian music circuit, frontman John Cooper told us that it can be a different scene when the band plays more mainstream rock shows: ["When we do our own tours -- you know, we're doing like a small arena tour right now, you know, and you know, we'll have somewhere between two and three thousand people come to the most of the shows. Then we'll go do a mainstream radio show and play at 11:00 in the morning (laughs), and nobody knows who we are, you know. It's just a really bizarre thing. Our fans will come and be crazy to see Skillet and everybody else is like, 'What is this?'"]
