According to NME.com, Paul McCartney wanted a place in Dave Grohl’s supergroup THEM CROOKED VULTURES, but was turned down in favor of LED ZEPPELIN legend John Paul Jones.
THE BEATLES star said he was first told about THEM CROOKED VULTURES by Grohl when the two went out to dinner together after playing together at last February’s Grammys ceremony.
“We went out for a bite to eat afterwards and Dave told me he was starting this band with Josh [Homme],” he told the Daily Mail. “I asked him who was playing bass and he rather sheepishly told me he’d approached John. So you read it here first; Paul McCartney was nearly the bass player in THEM CROOKED VULTURES
Rock NYC sez: Grohl should be so lucky
