Them Crooked Vultures

Them Crooked Vultures is an English-American rock band formed in 2008 by Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page on guitar and John Paul Jones on bass and keyboards along with drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, and Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy on vocals.

The band was formed after Led Zeppelin's historic reunion performance at the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert, as Page, Jones and Bonham wanted to continue, but Robert Plant declined to do further reunion activities, but gave his blessing for the trio to continue without him under a new name. The three announced that they would be forming a new band that would perform the Led Zeppelin catalog and also make new songs together, and would be auditioning for a lead vocalist. After several candidates, including Steven Tyler, auditioned for the job, Kennedy was announced as the final decision.

The new band began touring in 2008, and signed a deal with Exploitation Records, releasing a live album and video of the initial tour, then came out with their self-titled debut album in 2009. The album was a massive critical and commercial success, and Them Crooked Vultures' tours were also highly-regarded for the mixture of new songs, Led Zeppelin material, and material from The Firm, Page's solo album Outrider, Coverdale-Page, and Page and Plant in their setlists.
