Though he's drumming on their new record, Dave Grohl told New York's 101.1 WCBS-FM that he won't be touring with Queens of the Stone Age when they hit the road behind the upcoming album. But Them Crooked Vultures, his group with QOTSA leader Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, may tour again. "It was one of the highlights of my life when John Paul Jones said, 'Now I've been in two great bands.' That was a huge deal for me!" said Grohl. "We've talked about it, I know that someday we'll get back together and do stuff, because we love playing with each other."

Trent Reznor and former bassist Nick Oliveri are also contributing to the forthcoming Queens of the Stone Age record.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
