Ok, if this is real I'm going to shit my pants. The first emblem is Foo Fighters (?), the second is Mastodon (?), and the third is Queen of the Stone Age (?) ????????? I could be terribly off.
The second one is John Paul Jones... learn your history.
Pretty sure you're dead on with The Foo Fighters and Queens of The Stone Age...not sure about the 2nd one.
Yep...looks like John Paul Jones
the second is the logo for John Paul Jones. Im guessing Dave Grohl, John Pul Jones and the guitarist from QOTSA.
pretty sweet
Sounds like a sweet jam session. Dave on drums, John on bass, and Josh on guitar. I wonder what they're gonna play.
They have a band together, check out a google search for Homme and Grohl
The Crooked Vultures!!!
them crooked vultures
http://www.fretbase.com/blog/2009/07/queens-of-the-stone-age-foo-fighters-and-led-zeppelin/
Check that out... Also, Arctic Monkeys has worked with Josh recently, so I'll have my fingers crossed that he'll show up there at Lolla.
Actually I think the FF is Fleet Foxes (they our playing Metro the night before), the middle symbol is Biohazard, and I think you are right about the last one is Quens of the Stone Age
This is the Crooked Vultures
Whoever said the first one was Fleet Foxes is not allowed to show up to this show.
it's depressing when the logo in the middle is the one people can't figure out. led zeppelin IV is the greatest record ever made!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zoso.svg
You guys, I think it's Fiery Furnaces, Zebrahead, and Oasis.
you're all wrong! It's Michael Jackson, back from the dead!
;)
its Depeche Mode, Fletch, Gahan and Gore
Google search foo fighters logo if you're in doubt. The first one is the Foo Fighters.
Hey guys just verfied that it is Tracy Bonham, Alice Cooper, and Poison. Sounds like a great show!!! See you there!?!
Amazing that you people can even breathe, tie your shoes, and get on the short bus. The FF is Foo Fighters. The middle symbol is John Paul Jones' from Zeppelin IV, and the last is QOTSA.
Unbelieveable!! Who doesn't know the Foo Fighters logo! It's going to be one of the best shows Metro has ever had!!!
Sho nuff, Foo, John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone Age. I wonder how much tix will be???
Wow this is sad, I will be very disappointed if I do not get tickets for this...especially if one of these dumb asses gets them instead. How can you not know these symbols?!?! No offense...
How can you not know we were joking?
Wait so the FF Logo isn't Tracy Bonham??? Are you sure about that one? That FF could be anybody...
Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones to close out Lollapalooza at Metro Sunday night
By Jim DeRogatis on August 4, 2009 10:55 AM | Permalink | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)
DEVELOPING: Word has yet to officially come down from the Lollapalooza camp, but the buzz is that the Crooked Vultures, a new supergroup featuring Queens of the Stone Age band leader Josh Homme, Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and the mighty John Paul Jones, Led Zeppelin's legendary bass player, will provide the much-needed icing on the cake largely missing from this year's festival lineup by closing things out with a special intimate after-show Sunday night at Metro.
I think I have to gooooo! that would be an INCREDIBLE show :)
The symbols are Fleet Foxes, Biohazard and The Germs - This is going to rock!
I am pretty sure Frank Ferdinand is going to be recording a commercial for Hyundai using Quicktime software. Cool!
omg that last anonymous comment was freaking hilarious
Definetly John Paul Jones... He worked with the FOO'S on their last album. This is very serious. And i do agree, know your history... Urs
http://stereokill.net/2009/08/04/grohl-homme-and-jones-announce-gig/
FUCK I just drove back to Kansas City(usually stay in Chicago) and I get this email and I'm stuck over 500 miles away :( Damn this is just too awesome and I can't be there AHHH.. Whoever's lucky enough to go enjoy! I am so jealous
BIOHAZARD! Sweet...can't wait. Loved their S/T album in '94. I hope they play "Panic Attack." Anyone know if it's the same kind of show that emo band The Decembers is playing on Thursday...like a request night?
All joking around aside, anyone have an idea on ticket prices?

if you slowly scroll your cursor under the symbols, the price of the tics shows up....oh wait, you said seriously...well, then that answer's NO - can't you tell they're trying to be a bit mysterious, and...well, artful? We're not frogs and you're not a bunny, so let's not jump ahead. ;-)
it's 1016 and still nothing
It's also Wednesday, not Thursday.
dammit this is what happens when you work the 3rd shift everythings outta whack,thanks sweaty orange
No worries, I've done that before, too.
btw, at 10:16 tomorrow morning i expect these things to be long gone.
good luck, everyone!
lol. hilarious posts.
good luck guys! it's going to be madness tomorrow morning.
hell yea how much is the show ? I want in that event!
THIS SHOW IS THE ONLY SHOW LIVE
I'm so disappointed in some of the people on here, how do you NOT know these emblems! These are bands and musicians that have been AROUND the world and back, so if your one of the people that DIDN'T know the emblems,
PUT YOUR MONEY BACK IN YOUR WALLET AND SAVE A TICKET FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THESE GUYS!!!
THE CROOKED VULTURES. so much ass is going to be kicked by them.
It's THEM crooked vultures but now we're just splitting hairs...
Is it 10AM Central time tomorrow that tickets go on sale?
If I am not able to get tickets to this show, the 1876 Chicago fire will be reignited.
I laughed so hard I snorted like 3 times reading these posts! Thanks!
Some people, Get out from under your rock. Ridiculous how some of these people are so convinced it's the faggot foxes or something of the sort... Even after people are trying to set it straight.

Wait, the Jim DeRogatis article read "...will close out Lollapalooza on Sunday night" but the show is midnight Sunday which I take to mean 1 minute after Saturday night 11:59pm. Who is confused here? I always thought the new day should start at 6am to avoid this
Website says August 9, 2009 11:59pm so it's late Sunday night. Call in sick to work already
I agree w/ the above post(s)....if you didn't know these symbols right off, PLEASE do not attempt to buy tickets. Save them for the fans who will truly appreciate the awesomeness of this event! Your Lincoln Park friends won't be impressed that you went anyway.....Fleet Foxes, phhhtt..
I will end numerous peoples lives if I dont get these tickets. This will be one of the greatest shows ever. I heard they are going to tour, so that's sweet! Good luck everyone, especially after I get mine. lol
How much are tickets?
This band was BUILT around John Paul Jones. He's the legend here. He's the one Grohl is infatuated with....
Christ, learn your music.
To be honest, if I get tix, it's just to stare at JPJ all night. It'll be the closest I've been to Led Zeppelin since the Firm in 85 or Zeppelin in 77.
According to Antiquiet, Dave Grohl told Mojo magazine in 2005, "The next project that I'm trying to initiate involves me on drums, [Queens of the Stone Age's] Josh Homme on guitar, and [Led Zeppelin's] John Paul Jones playing bass. That's the next album. That wouldn’t suck."
just so you know, i peed my pants and then cried a little when i found out this was happening
good luck to us all. To the people who turned down my generous offer to take them because they gotta work monday morning...p***ies!

Did anyone get tickets?....
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
exact same thing happened to me.
error... then no inventory.
bummer.
brutal, but unsurprising. sandwich time
I had the ticket screen load, but the damn picture for the code I had to type didn't show up forever! I agree there are a lot a ways that could've gone better. Any get tickets?
Ya got past the verify 4 or 5 times then nothing. Six minutes tics are sold out ?

I was on refreshing starting at like 9:53, finally got the screen with the picture, but then I got an error every time I tried to confirm my tickets. I did it with like 10 other codes, and the same error screen came up every time!
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
I didn't get them either.. hopefully there was just a mistake and we still havea chance :(

I had the same problem too. Well that sucked.
I got tickets. I went directly to the etix.com site and bought from there. Site was slow, but did not shut down like the metro site.
I got a pair. Sorry to everyone who got shut out, but there's be more shows.
Fuck my life
So....It looks like Twig (above) got tix and that's it? Weak, Metro, extremely weak.

Ya I went right to ETX as well nothing but locked up every time getting pass the verify.
ugh. now watch craigslist explode with tickets. when foo played at the 9:30 club in dc scalpers were selling them for 300.first born in exchange for 2 tickets? awesome. thanks metro for your sweet, sweet site
it says tickets currently unavailable on etix...and other shows say sold out? maybe they shut the server down?
YES I GOT IT! Keep refreshing, some more inventory pops up every few minutes. It looks like the only way to get around that annoying error is going to the event page from etix rather than following the link from here.
http://event.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=1056827
Good luck everyone!

Nothing but error messages the entire time to get tickets... the same with etix. What a waste of time!
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
got mine! tip for everyone else who didn't get a pair. notice that everyone here who got one went through the etix.com website directly, searched for "metro" under venue and hit the link for the event for aug 9.
there is almost always multiple links to events like this. especially when a specific venue or band website (with shitty servers) is trying to sell tickets on their own.
always find the path of least resistance.
in this case, everyone hit the metro website and the link for tickets distributed by metro, lollapalooza and themvultures official webpage and newsletters.
but the tickets were being sold to etix. also following twitter, and comment strings like these is very helpful.
sorry to everyone who didn't have much luck. they will be back soon.

Anyone been able to get tickets now around 10:30 since there has been problems with ticket servers?
there gone man... and i sure hope no fleet foxes fans got some... if so SELL THEM!!!!
I find it funny that The Metro site still says "On Sale Soon"....

I got tickets!

lol, everyone stop complaining. this is totally expected and if you either cared enough to get tickets or have ever tried to get tickets to high-demand intimate gigs like this, you would understand that the server meltdown happens every single time.
as i said, the people who got tickets were the smart ones who went through etix.com and probably went further to have multiple links/paths open in different tabs. they wanted it that badly. did their research and they totally deserve to be there on sunday.
i feel for the ppl who didn't have luck, but stop whining and move on with your day!
now for those here with tickets, who is psyched for sunday?!?!
Get off your high horse you asshole- we did just as much work as you, but since you magically got a ticket, you MUST be a bigger music fan - let me bow to you almighty one.

If I see "everyone stop complaining" guy at the show, I'm going to spit in his mouth.
said by the person who got tickets...
Yeah I did exactly what you said as far as the "smart ones" goes...no luck. So much for that theory...
lol. sounds good.
just saying there is nothing unexpected about this situation. and anyone who was doing "much work" would have jumped to the etix site the second someone here posted about it. tickets were still available until almost 10:40. i think that shows that people who searched and wanted it and didn't give up or come straight here to complain, got tickets.
not saying im a bigger fan. but i definitely wanted this more than you.
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
dude stfu. Had nothing to do with you "wanting" it more than anyone else. You are just a lucky, and apparently by your pompous attitude, undeserving that you need to come here and backhandedly insult those who were venting your frustrations. I agree with the "spit in your mouth" guy!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sold out :(
You could not be more full of yourself. Tickets were still available a second ago - and error messages keep popping up. That at 11 am we're still trying to get tickets should show we want to go - who said we have given up just because we're venting? You, however, have tickets and are using this forum to gloat rather than offer any useful information.
I have been pulling up the ticket screen for the past hour on and off. No luck. It finally says, 'sold out'. Congrats to those who did get tickets.
I went to etix directly and still got errors. There is no "right" way to do it. It all comes down to luck.
See - now that's classy. Yes, congrats to all who got tix except the douchebag guy. Ha! Classy? No, but then neither was he.
This is listed on the etix site:
**may still be available from other sources. Please call for information from the venue box office.
If someone finds out something... could you please list it.
Thanks!
There's at least one asshole on Craigslist selling a ticket for $1500. He should have the shit kicked out of him. I could see maybe $100 or $150 (even if I don't agree with it), but ten times as much is just being a dickhead mercenary.
And as far as the guy who said he wanted it "more" -- give me a break. We all tried are damnedest, covering it 80 ways from Sunday. Like the other person said, you didn't want it "more". You were just lucky.
Oh well. I've seen QOTSA with Dave and a million other awesome shows at Metro and other venues like it and smaller. My rock cred is still solid even if I'm going to miss a show that would have made me shit my pants.
And to those here who were kind about their luck and didn't gloat (and hopefully won't scalp their extra), congrats.
sorry if i did come across as arrogant. i realized i totally did and sounded like a complete ass.
did have the intention to provide some information (a tip?) for future scenarios like this. and i guess i got annoyed by all the complaints about the server issues, although i totally understand the frustration, especially right after they sold out.
sorry to everyone who didn't get tickets and hopefully you have luck finding some without being completely ripped off by scalpers, or get to see them at another show soon.
Why couldn't ticket sales have been in-person this morning? Or saturday morning? Then we could've all waited in line and then gotten angry and out of control until one or three of us got stabbed by the Hell's Angels hired to provide security. Then they'd make a movie about it.
....aaaaaaaaand scene.
have fun at the show. look forward to the highlights. and does anyone find it ironic that scalpers are selling "them crooked vultures" tix for 1500?
I don't understand how anyone could sell tickets that they got this morning through ebay. You have to show your confirmation number, actual credit card used to purchase and a photo ID to get into the venue. The dude on Craigslist is dreaming. Anybody know a way around these roadblocks?
ugh. that was unfortunate. wish they had played a bigger venue/maybe replaced that beastie boys show at congress. oh well. lollapalooza is going to be a blast regardless.
congrats to those with tickets.
If the craigslist D-bag read the rules... you need to show the credit card used to purchase the tickets and a photo ID before they hand over the tickets. You don't get your tickets until you're inside the building. Once inside...you can't leave. There's no way to sell the tickets you purchased to another person, unless they look just like you and have your credit card in hand.
I went through the ETix website and I was still getting nonsense errors. "Choose a different price code"? There's only one price code, moron.
Damn ridiculous. And how are people going to scalp these? They are non-transferable tickets only available through will-call that requires ID and the credit card you used when you go to the door.
I think the reason they weren't in person was that it guaranteed that half the venue would be filled with people that going and therefore could not be sold on the secondary market. In person sales would also run the risk of a riot outside the box office which in my opinion would have been something to see this morning. I'm sure if someone legitimately had an extra they're willing to part with they'd throw it on eBay because through craigslist you're bound to get shot charging $1500 a ticket haha. I'm bummed I didn't get tickets but if anyone finds out that they held some for show day or something along those lines please post it! Hopefully I hit the lottery tonight and can buy that $3000 one on eBay in the morning haha.
I think the CL guy is only attempting to sell his extra ticket (not both) -- i.e. brings in the $1500 sucker as his "guest". People pulled this crap at the Obama rally.
Anyway, I called Metro and the nice girl there said that she wasn't sure why the etix site said to contact the venue but the show is indeed sold out.
Sorry kids. And yes, it should have been done at the Riv or something based on the amount of comps they are probably handing out alone for industry people in town for Lolla.
Thanks for the info on calling The Metro! I've seen Josh and Dave way too many times and only wanted to see JPJ...
