Them Crooked Vultures Give Away "Mind Eraser, No Chaser"

November 3, 2009 5:55 PM ET

As Them Crooked Vultures inch closer to the November 17th release of their debut, the supergroup is getting more generous with its recorded music. Today, TCV dropped a new track, "Mind Eraser, No Chaser," on iTunes as a free download. It's another heavy gem from Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, kicking off with two counter-riffing guitar parts before a thumping bassline and Grohl's heavy hitting jump into the mix.

Check out rock's most famous supergroups, from Cream to Audioslave.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, the Vultures released their first official single "New Fang" last week after a testing out their material at a handful of high-voltage gigs in the U.S. and Europe this summer. The band will embark on their first tour of the West Coast starting in Los Angeles on November 17th.

“Smells Like Teen Spirit”

Nirvana | 1991

"Smells Like Teen Spirit," named after a brand of deodorant marketed to girls, was Kurt Cobain's attempt to "write the ultimate pop song," he said, using the soft-loud dynamic of his favorite band, the Pixies. Cobain "had that dichotomy of punk rage and alienation," the song’s producer, Butch Vig, told Rolling Stone, "but also this vulnerable pop sensibility. In 'Teen Spirit,' a lot of that vulnerability is in the tone of his voice." Sadly, by the time of Nirvana's last U.S. tour, in late '93, Cobain was tortured by the obligation to play "Teen Spirit" every night. "There are many other songs that I have written that are as good, if not better," he claimed.
