Them Crooked Vultures – Full Live Concert Footage

Link: Them Crooked Vultures – Full Live Concert Footage

I’ve been enjoying the Them Crooked Vultures (Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones) vibe quite a bit. Big, fat, raw, dirty, tight sound … whats not to like? Check this full live concert footage from their show in Germany this week. If you’re in a hurry check the track Elephant first.

Quote: Jimmy Page

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else – building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army … a guitar army.

Mark Knopfler “Telegraph Road”

I’ve been prompted to show some Knopfler love by some submissions by Pazza.  This track is Telegraph Road from a performance in Reggio Calabria, Italy, 2005. The basic recipe is: Knopfler’s golden fingers + Komet amps + Pensa Suhr. The great man could fill this site up all by himself.

Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’re gonna be rewarded.

Guthrie Govan “Waves”

Sometimes its good to get some “how the hell does he do that?” type chops in your diet. Guthrie Govan is the man for this job. Here he is playing the track Waves at the London Guitar Show in 2008. Really great, mesmerizing lines and killer chops on tap.  Freakish.

Marc Ford, formerly of The Black Crowes, and one of the tastiest blues rock players going around today. Great feel and some downright nasty tones. Here he is wielding a gorgeous maple necked James Trussart Steeltop.
