Just when you thought the super-hyped Them Crooked Vultures were the only supergroup in town, along comes Spirits in the Sky.
Let’s compare the line-ups:
Them Crooked Vultures makes perfect sense as a power trio consisting of drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), guitarist Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss) and bassist John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin).
Spirits in the Sky is a nine-piece band starring the dueling guitar jammery of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan) and Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers). It also features members of ’60s bands Electric Prunes and Strawberry Alarm Clock (of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls film fame).
One is a hard rock powerhouse with a cool logo.
The other is Grateful Dead-loving art-rock collective with a Sky Saxon fixation and a band name snagged from a 1969 song by Norman Greenbaum.
Check out both bands below, then tell us: Which one do you prefer?
