SCUMBAG BLUES

People seem to be pretty into Them Crooked Vultures, the new group featuring Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones. Ya’ll have been emailing us all sorts of live clips that have been popping up, and Blabbermouth posts news about them any time one of the members so much as takes a shit. I admit, the prospect of this band is pretty tantalizing and I’m quite excited about them myself — I just don’t need to get all in a tizzy about 30 seconds of crappy cell-phone footage and a U.S. tour that doesn’t even hit New York (prediction: CMJ. Watch for it.)

Anyway, here’s some actual, real, worth-reporting news about the band: there’s a preview of the song “Scumbag Blues,” along with some nifty old-school looking animation, posted on Them Crooked Vultures’ official YouTube account (sent in by MS Maniac Jonathon Edwards). Watch it below.

So the guy with the umbrella/cane is obviously JPJ (cane = old, and all of those platinum records on the wall behind him), but of the other two vultures which is Grohl and which is Homme? Your guesses are as good as mine.
