Eagles of Death Metal- Death By Sexxxy

The Devil can do no wrong.

That's crazy. Is there a link to your review?

That's crazy.

Agreed x 10000000000000000000

Someone hasn't heard Desert Sessions.

i'm with you on that...LtP leaves me pretty 'meh'd out. it's sad when the import version's by far preferable (in large part due to the cover of "Precious and Grace!".
that said, this new EoDM has me hooked. it's some wonderful spring/summer music!
nothing to think about, just enjoy. maybe that's what people don't like about them (ie- the 'novelty act'), it's nothing to think about just dumb fun.
but, honestly, don't we all need some dumb fun as sung by Ned Flanders Gone Wrong?!!?
well, maybe not all, but I DO!

i want Dessert Sessions, please. w/ coffee.

I mean I love dirty sleaze filled grooves (hello lords of the Altamont), but seriously, this is just a shit way to represent your music.

It's being widely reported that among the attacks in Paris tonight, one target was the Bataclan, where the Eagles of Death Metal were performing a show. There's no further information at present beyond claims that a hostage situation is happening.

Apparently, they're okay:

Further via the drummer's mom:

what about the hostages? any news there?

Info on the ILE thread

The band has updated:

credit to the band for being clear, sincere, and saying exactly what they should say about this tragedy (as far as i can tell so far).

forgive me, but imagine the kind of shit the korn lead singer would say "why did this happen to our band, on our night?"

I don't know why I find this particularly chilling, but I do:

Kiss the Devil

(cut by terrorists attacks and shootings)

fuck.

Would that had to have been uploaded by someone who attended the concert?

Via tcote, a report from Les Inrockuptibles that their writer Guillaume B. Decherf, who had reviewed the EoDM album for them a couple of weeks ago, was one of the victims.

There are reports their merch guy was one of the victims.

heart. broken.

Oh man, how sad
There's something about this happening at this particular band's show, like just the sheer arbitrary horror of life, like a band that doesn't even really take itself particularly seriously is more forever tied to an event that I fear will have profound consequences

Christ - I can't bring myself to read much more of this stuff. just horrifying. I'm hoping any video that did get uploaded gets taken down - out of respect.

lots of people showing their ass out there too - not that I'm shocked that everyone can't just mutually agree this is a horrible tragedy and offer their condolences like a normal human being (outside of this board, naturally)

There's something particularly heartbreaking about that setlist, how you can be watching a not-even-particularly-prominent and basically non-political rock band who you would never in themselves consider to be a target, and they're playing some dumb Duran Duran cover, and maybe you recognise it and laugh along, or maybe it actually sounds pretty cool, and then five minutes later. Fuck.

Merch guy who died, Nick Alexander, was a uni buddy of some friends of ours.

The band has released a statement:

http://bit.ly/1OfgZqo

That is the perfect statment. I love & admire these guys so much.

Yeah, a good statement. I'm apprehensive though about what Jesse will have to say if he ever really opens up about this in an interview.

^I don't want to give the impression that I have anything but love for the dude and sympathy for him through this horrific nightmare. But he has had some opinions, for sure.

hyped for the first "this was a horrific tragedy but let's not lose sight of how problematic this band are" blog post, can't be long now

first weblink on this thread about the terrorist attacks has someone in a headdress ...

yes, perhaps one day EODM will make a musical statement as finely crafted as their twitter statement

There's some really sick shit going around about how this was "payback" for them playing in Tel Aviv...

They and their fans were just (hugely, tragically) unfortunate enough to have been at the Bataclan on the same night as the France-Germany match, which surely was the decider timing-wise. I doubt ISIS had much of an opinion on the Eagles of Death Metal per se.

Make sure to read the comments, in which conservative Christian nutbag Rod Dreher explains that while the Eagles of Death Metal's song "Kiss the Devil" may well have inspired the terrorists to attack, the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" is A-OK, 'cause it's based on litrachoor (plus, the Stones are awesome).

Jesse Hughes: I saw fear fall like a blanket on the whole crowd and they fell like wheat in the wind—the way you would before a god. I was totally alert from the very beginning. The first thing I needed to do was find my girl. Fear took a backseat and “where’s my girl?” took over.

so did he ever find his daughter? hope she's ok.

I think flappy was referring specifically to hughes' experience the day of the attack, not his/taki's horrifying (outlandish even) opinions about the attack

yes, sorry for not being clear! i was referring to the backdoor being propped open, the security acting suspicious, letting people in. i also have empathy for him, can't imagine what he's going through, and beyond the details of what happened and what he saw happen at the bataclan, it's pretty, well, outlandish...

xp i think he's referring to his girlfriend, afaik she's ok

Make it stop.

was jesse always this nuts or is this the PTSD talking?

oh sorry, already discussed.

A letter to Jesse Hughes from a fellow Bataclan survivor

gavin mcinnes is one of the most vile human beings alive right now.

Ismael El Iraki FTW

Just don't read the comments under the reprinting of the letter in the Independent.

would throw in pool

whyyyyy is this guy still a thing

he is the worst

It is absolutely insane to me that this band had the type of goodwill that had them on stage with U2 and had My Morning Jacket and Kings of Leon covering their songs and dude just absolutely pissed it away

I have moved on from trying to apologize for this dude and maybe give him a little time after his traumatic experience. I can't listen to EODM at all any more. They were lighthearted and fun-ish, but certainly not indispensable. This time around I'm kinda pissed at Dave Catching, who otherwise seems like a levelheaded, chill, lefty kinda dude, for not speaking out when Jesse opens his fool yap.

@jesseEODM. When I think of the good times we've had in the past it fucks my heart to see how far off the rails you've gone. Come back bro

Cheers, Mark. It would be nice if Dave Catching had a word or three with Jesse. I don't know either of them personally but as far as I can tell, Dave doesn't seem like the type who would agree with Jesse here and is in a good place to tell him as well. cc: @ranchodelaluna

Im out of the loop. What happened?

xp: yeah, the studio is Dave's account.

Boy looking up at Mark Lanegan's tweet there feels a bit chilling. The more so because according to this Jesse wouldn't have known about his passing because...

“The love of my life is going to die.” Eagles of Death Metal's Tuesday Cross has been in a coma for more than six weeks, and her frontman fiancé Jesse Hughes is alleging he's been blocked from seeing or communicating with her. https://t.co/qMbJCVU9OX

— billboard (@billboard) March 11, 2022

Actually change that, read it totally wrong -- I thought HE was in the coma.

Also, since I was wondering:

Although the hospital’s response does not indicate this, Hughes says Cross also tested positive for COVID, and he was told that hospital visits from family and friends were not permitted because of the risk of spreading the virus.

On the afternoon of Jan. 23, Hughes says he and Cross had cuddled on the couch in their bungalow-style home in LA’s Atwater Village as she puffed a few times on the inhaler she used to treat her asthma. She was exhausted from graffiti tagging the past few nights, and the spray-paint vapor had given her a slight cough.

Cross was “in full cardiac arrest” when ER doctors got to her and that Hughes “reported the patient had recently been smoking crack or meth.” Hughes claims that he didn’t know if she was on drugs but wanted to be safe.

in June 2021, Cross signed a document giving him power of attorney over her health care after a similar incident landed her in Glendale Memorial.

Add all that to COVID diagnosis (and assuming that she is/was as anti-vax as Jessie), this seems like a tragic, but probably avoidable outcome. I just feel bad for any of her friends and loved ones who are trying to navigate this while simultaneously having to deal with Jesse Hughes - The Human Drama Bomb.
