Dave Grohl is forming a spectacular new supergroup with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and Queen of the Stone Age star Josh Homme, according to reports.

The trio is currently holed up in a Los Angeles recording studio working on a new album, reports MetalHammer.co.uk.

Faith No More frontman Mike Patten is also rumoured to be involved in the project.

When approached for comment, Homme's rocker wife Brody Dalle refused to confirm details, but admitted a supergroup was in the works, saying, "I'm not at liberty to talk about it... but I think (the project) is pretty f**king amazing. Just beats and sounds like you've never heard before."

I heard about this too, pretty crazy/intense project they got going on.

[The Horrible Esthete]

Interesting, indeed.

JPJ is my hero...not sure about a partnership with Grohl, but i'll try to keep an open mind....

[MattyM]

Happy days, they're playing my hometown!

[The Horrible Esthete]

And within 100 miles of both my hometown and current town.

Happy days indeed.

Goes without saying, I think, but it's a must-see for any music lover who can swing it. To this day, the last JPJ solo tour was the single most impressive thing I've ever seen. This will be different of course, but talent is talent, and it's been proven to me time and time again that creative, detail-oriented musicians rarely disappoint when they step onstage.

I might have to cross the border and see if i can snag a ducat for this show; incidentally I noticed that the Steam Whistle Brewery is across the street from the Rogers Centre. Do they sell cases of their fine beer to the general public there? Ever since the Danforth show I've wanted to lay my hands on a case but I've come up dry.

[Phantom51]

I'll be at ACL so I will check them out.

Yes, the brewery is open daily from noon-6pm. And they'll even pour you a glass to "taste" before you buy.

[cochise]

Damn it, too little too late. I didn't realize there were any tour dates or pre sales??

Probably too late, but if anyone happens to know the presale password for the Toronto show and feels like sharing it, please, please send me a PM!

Ditto to that please!

Good sound....but homme should just stick to the strings. Ex Band mate john garcia would have taken this project to the next level
