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.

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.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 15 May 2016 03:09 (eight years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 27, 2018

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
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 March 2022 04:55 (two years ago) link
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.
