A collaboration between Josh Homme, John Paul Jones, and Dave Grohl was first publicly mentioned by Grohl in a 2005 interview with Mojo , in which he declared “The next project that I’m trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass.” In a 2019 post on his Facebook page, Jimmy Page suggested that he could have been part of the band as well, based on conversations he had with Grohl. Of the nascent project, Homme’s ex-wife Brody Dalle commented in July 2009 that “I’m not at liberty to talk about it […] but I think [the project] is pretty amazing. Just beats and sounds like you’ve never heard before.” After finding that the name Caligula was already taken, the members arbitrarily chose “Them Crooked Vultures” as a name with no significance.
