A shred of evidence has emerged regarding the rumoured recording sessions involving Foo Fighters main man Dave Grohl, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and bassist for Led Zeppelin, John Paul Jones.
Poor Brody Dalle. In an interview published last week with website
Antiquiet.com, the ex-Geelong girl, once of The Distillers and now with Spinnerette, chatted a little about her boyfriend's new project. Her boyfriend of course being Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age.
Antiquiet: Alright I’ll only ask one question about Josh (Homme)… Dave Grohl said something about your husband working with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) next… what’s that all about?
Brody Dalle: I’m not at liberty to talk about it…
Antiquiet: Fair enough… I remember reading something Jack Irons (Spinnerette drummer) said a long while back, about all these little living room gatherings people would get together and have – these little acoustic sessions that would blow people’s minds if they knew who were there at the time. If you could hand-pick a group of musicians to put a room together just to work the magic and see what would happen, who would it be?
Brody Dalle: God, I have no idea… there are just too many possibilities. I think the thing that you were talking about earlier, which I’m not supposed to talk about is pretty fucking amazing.
Antiquiet: Really…. what makes it amazing?
Brody Dalle: Just beats and sounds like you’ve never heard before!
Translation: Dave Grohl and Josh Homme are working on a project with Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones. As someone probably says in the industry, "heavy". The article goes on to reference several people who claim to have heard the fabled group, as well as a recent quote from Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones which pupports to back up the assumption:
“I’m working on some other music, which is more rock based, with a couple of other people. We hope to be everywhere this summer.” When pressed for more information, the legendary bassist clammed up. “It’s a secret, actually,” he said. “I shouldn’t have even said that, you know? There are some exciting projects coming up, let’s put it that way.”
There's also possibly related news that Homme is keen to work with Mike Patton on a particular "project" of his. Patton is of course, currently touring Europe with a reunited Faith No More. A supergroup featuring Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Mike Patton? Heavy indeed.
