    John Paul Jones/Dave Grohl/Josh Homme supergroup to play midnight show at Metro on 8/9/09

    Posted in Lollapalooza 2009, Lollaparties, Music by Brent DiCrescenzo on August 4th, 2009 at 11:16 am

    Tickets go on sale Thursday, August 6 at 10am for one of the biggest “secret” shows to grace our Chicago stages in a while. The supergroup, supposedly dubbed Them Crooked Vultures (though the linked page above only teases with Zoso-like symbols), that combines Led Zeppelin, Nirvana (sorry, sounds better than Foo Fighters) and Queens of the Stone Age will further exhaust Lolla crowds at midnight on Sunday Aug 9, just after the big festival wraps up in Grant Park. Start waiting in virtual line.

    Immediate thought: so why didn’t this fill in for the Beastie Boys?

      Zoso like symbol ? jimmy page was the rune you describe as Zoso, it is really modelled after the symbol for saturn.

      John Paul Jones’ symbol, which he chose from Rudolf Koch’s Book of Signs, is a single circle intersecting 3 vesica pisces (a triquetra). It is intended to symbolize a person who possesses both confidence and competence.

      be careful now, jimmy page may have a hex or two to cast your way.

      As if we don’t already know John Paul Jones exudes confidence and competence! He was a classical music producer!

      When I saw JPJ in concert a few years ago, some IDIOTS were shouting rude things to him while he was singing a beautiful, soft acoustic folk song - just him and his acoustic. A beautiful moment ruined by some lunkhead audience member.

      Paul McCartney’s symbol is also the planet Saturn!!!!! Why do the two biggest rock groups ever have member associations with the planet Saturn????????????? What is it about Saturn?
