This sounds pretty amazing, i really liked Probot so hopefully this one’ll be up to that standard, or better.
Here’s one more notch on Dave Grohl‘s belt: he’s got another band to goof around with and judging from its members, this will be one of the heaviest ones he’s done.
Teenage Time Killer will feature Grohl, Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor, Black Flag‘s Keith Morris, ex-Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri, Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, and more. And more!
As The Dwarf reports (via Consequence of Sound), the project was spearheaded by Corrosion of Conformity and Teenage Time Killer members Reed Mullin and Mike Dean. Mullin described the music in a recent interview as “old hardcore punk, punk and metal stuff … People are going to be pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty cool.”
As for the “and more” part, the band will also feature Soulfly’s Max Cavalera, Neil Fallon of Clutch and members of The Misfits, Municipal Waste, Red Fang, My Ruin, Prong, Goatsnake, Brujeria and Articles Of Faith.
This may be the heaviest band of all time.
No word on a release date for the group’s material.
[i]There’s been a few so-called supergroups over the years, and we all know they can be hit-and-miss… maybe more miss than hit. But putting musicians like Dave Grohl, Jello Biafra, Keith Morris, and (if you can believe it) eight other legendary artists together for one album definitely warrants a little extra attention. Mike Dean and Reed Mullin of Corrosion of Conformity recently partnered up with these well-known music industry vets for their project, Teenage Time Killer. Instrumental parts for Teenage Time Killer’s debut release were recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606, and will include appearances from the following musicians:
maybe im misinformed, but i remember reading about TTK a few months ago, and i thought it was a project being spearheaded by the COC boys…
i dont know how to feel about Dave Grohl. sometimes he seems like a nice and genuine guy, but other times he strikes me a slimy credit-hogging ego machine who has learned how to present as nice and genuine…
i would like to be able to like him 100%, as i do love Scream, Nirvana (nostalgia more than anything really…) and PROBOT…
I’m certainly interested in this (and, yeah, I thought Probot was really cool, too) but I’m wondering how accurate the “supergroup” description really is.
Considering most of those folk listed are vocalists, I’m thinking this is more likely going to be assembled the same way as his Probot project. A few core musicians laying down tracks and then a guest vocalist doing his thang on top.
Certainly there’s not going to be 24 people jumping around in a studio taking turns singing . . . I’m envisioning a horrible punk-rock version of Hear’n’Aid’s “We’re Stars” with 12 singers taking turns and 18 different guitar solos.
Anyway, I’ll be curious to see what this actually ends up being.

That would be absolutely hilarious, hahaha. “We are punk world, we are metal children, we are the ones who make a hardcore day etc etc etc”. Obviously to the tune of “We Are The World”.

Looking at that second link there it does seem like it’s COC’s project, you’re right, i hadn’t noticed that. I know what you mean about Grohl, i remember Courtney Love saying how he wasn’t a nice person and had everyone fooled, but i tend to ignore whatever she says. I’m not a fan of his, but i loved Probot, loved his drumming for Killing Joke and i do like some of Foo Fighters’ tracks as well. I thought that Sound City documentary was great too, although little parts of it (like Grohl, Reznor and Homme’s little group) was self-congratulatory wank.
I actually thought Probot was great on paper, not so great upon execution. Eh.
Dave’s great, gotta love how he was in Nirvana and his tastes in music were so unlike Kurt and Krist’s…anyone heard the rumor that he “invented” Andrew WK? Would be funny if that becomes true.
I love that you leave us hanging on the edge of our seats with the “…”
We sit there thinking to ourselves, “Oh, My! The great Yearsofdecay has some worldly wisdom to share with us regarding the suckiness of Dave Grohl! I can’t wait to hear more! Is it because his jams are totally un-jammy? Is it because he’s a FAGE? Is it because he does not have a cooffin guitar? What could it be???”

Seriously, the suspense is killing me.
OK, I’ll jump in.
Dave Grohl sucks because:
He could have done ANYTHING after Nirvana. Absolutely anything. Admittedly the guy is pretty cluey when it comes to music and likes some awesome shit - in fact I believe it was Grohl who was responsible for bands like Godflesh and The Boredoms sharing the bill with Nirvana). Goddamn I mean his favourite all time album is Gluey Porch Treatments by The Melvins. So yeah he could have done anything. The world was his oyster. But what does he give us? Coldplay with Converse Sneakers and fuzzy guitars, that’s what. Fucking dolt, I could slap his face to kingdom come.
He has weird piggy looking nostrils.
He likes everything when it comes to music. Everything. Never says a fucking bad word about anyone in the music business. How can you like everything?? I wonder what his record collection looks like.
He played drums on that shitty Killing Joke album back in 2003.
He not only makes shitty music with the Goo Goo Fighters, but also makes shitty video clips.
He’s super fucking friendly and nice, to the point where it’s just ridiculous.
He is friends with Jack Black.
He appears as a guest musician on over 550,000 albums. He’s everywhere.
He was the least interesting member of Nirvana.
That’s all I can think of at the moment, but I hope it has helped to solve at least part of the conundrum.

No. It doesn’t. The conundrum for me was not “Why does Dave Grohl suck?” but “Why does Yearsofdecay say he sucks?”
You’re a human being with a brain and hands with fingers and the ability to control said hands and fingers with said brain to create something on a computer screen that a human being can understand as language and thought.
Yearsofdecay has NEVER demonstrated this unique talent (and by unique, I mean a talent that is shared by only 99.99999% of the world population). So when he makes a post that seems to leave the prospect of something big coming our way, I get a little excited. Perhaps today will be the day that he writes an actual sentence that makes sense. Perhaps he will have a thought and be able to relay it to us.
There is really limitless possibilities and I just get very optimistic and hopeful thinking about it.
But not you, Peligro. No. There’s really no suspense. Thought and reason and readable language . . . from you that’s really nothing special.
So, please, let Yearsofdecay have his moment in the spotlight. His shining on-stage glory to dazzle the rest of us. Do not steal his thunder! It is not yours to steal!

and yet again, a big fail. He even fucked up the ellipses.
FIFY So you could practice your punctuation.
