Queens of the Stone Age bandleader Josh Homme and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl are no strangers to collaboration, pooling their talents on several occasions, most notably on QOTSA’s 2004 album Songs for the Deaf. Now, Homme’s wife and ex-Distiller Brody Dalle (busy promoting her new outfit Spinnerette) has let the cat out of the bag on their most newsworthy venture yet – a trio comprising of Homme, Grohl and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. Dalle revealed to Antiquiet.com that “[the project] is pretty amazing. Just beats and sounds like you’ve never heard before.” This star-studded collaboration has been on the cards for years, but now Homme and Grohl are taking a break from their respective day jobs and Led Zeppelin have shelved their plans to reunite, it has time to develop. The three main players are remaining tight-lipped, and very few people are thought to have heard the sessions. Back in 2005, however, Grohl told MOJO magazine that “the next project that I’m trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass. That’s the next album. That wouldn’t suck." If this album ever does surface, there’s no question it'll be one of the most hotly anticipated releases in rock.
