Eagles of Death Metal- Death By Sexxxy

Not much to say, but it is well worth watching. And very, very hard to watch.

Yeah, definitely - very difficult. Made me realize it must be so hard for anyone there to speak publicly about it given the shock and trauma they might be experiencing.

exactly.
i started watching this at work today, and had to call it quits as i work in an open plan office and within a few minutes i was in bits.
not sure i could face a camera crew/interviewer this soon had i experienced such a situation.
jesse looks totally fucked up, and appears to be struggling with the emotional fallout.
hope they get to fulfil their wish re being the first band to play at the bataclan if/when it reopens.

that was so hard to watch, and so moving

jesus

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.

ugh.

The article has been updated to include his apologies by the way

i don't blame him... makes sense given his experience & headspace rn...

this guy keeps making himself less and less sympathetic

nah c'mon now, I don't share the man's politics, but if some hundreds of people came out to see me play a show, and 80 odd of them were gunned down by maniacs AT THE SHOW? MID SET? i can't even imagine reacting to that. certainly would never pick up a guitar again, and this guy came back to town to finish the show weeks later. if anybody gets a pass to say wild shit on fox news it is this guy

okay, but don't bands usually have publicists or minders who could tell him to not say that kind of wild shit for a while?

The guy contributed to conspiracy theory nonsense. I got into a brief discussion with someone who swears that six security guards called out because they knew it was coming.

I am sorry he went through what he did, but contributing to the delusional fiction of conspiracy theorists is not something I forgive very easily.

There are people who seriously believe things like he said and they use his words as "evidence" for that belief.

I'm not trying to grit on a dude who's been through an utterly horrific experience. Just that, as a fan of the band, I was worried that something like this would be coming.

total apology and withdrawal of comment.

What a piece of shit

http://takimag.com/article/surrendering_to_death_gavin_mcinnes#axzz48eHFAnVC

Reads to me like Jesse is not dealing well with this at all, no matter what he claims, and is in retreating even further into the far-right nutcase/paranoia bullshit he was already suffering from. The piece of shit, as always, is McInnes. I feel bad for the club's employees and owners, and for the other bandmembers who are, for a second time, going to have to clean up after Jesse. Awful situation when someone is losing their mind in public.

Why not take him at his word about what he saw? Nothing that outlandish said there.

When the police or whoever is doing the investigating corroborate what he's saying about 'inside job' and so forth, I will take Jesse at whatever his current word is (since it changes, as we've seen). But until then, this account is, for me, something like trauma-induced motivated reasoning.

Nothing that outlandish said there.

"I just chalked it up to Arab envy. You know what I mean? When a Muslim sees a cocky American dude with tattoos, he stares at him."

A day after, at the stadium, Muslims booed the moment of silence and we barely heard about it in the press. I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination.

He's not a Catholic minister. He was ordained through the Universal life Church. I'm ordained through the Universal Life Church for fucks sake.

chances of me opening a takimag link = 0.000000

if you clicked on 'Eagles of Death Metal- Death By Sexxxy' then you are in no position to sniff at takimag

ha, fair

takimag wasn't at the centre of a massive terrorist event

unfor

je serai taki

You never see bad guys in movies who are Arab terrorists. It’s always Germans or French…

Or conservative Christian rednecks. They’re apparently what’s wrong with everything in the world now, including global warming. What about the other ice age we went through? There were no Christian Republicans back then. What caused that meltdown?

The other problem with that is, when you get rid of these Christian rednecks, you create a vacuum and it gets filled with people way worse. It gets filled with Islam. You end up replacing evangelism with sharia law.

Politicians behave better when they know people are watching. We behave better when we believe Jesus is watching us.

These atheists tell us we don’t need religion, yet everyone seems to be creating flimsy substitutes to replace it. Rehab is just Lent. Meditation is just Latin Mass. Seeing a therapist is just talking to your priest.

And the thing about the Bible is it’s written down. A therapist can change his diagnosis just like that and there’s no way of calling him out on it.

flappy bird – in all honesty, and though one wouldn't wish to cast aspersions, it probably ought to be noted that you have overlooked several outlandish claims in that extract alone

seems like a great publication

lol i read that whole interview thinking it was the tavi girl's website and was like this is a very strange choice for this venue

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

wow fuck this guy.

World War III imminent?

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.

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
