Death metal is not a sub genre for the faint hearted, those who lend their ears to mainstream pop sounds tend to scoff at metal music in general, they’ve probably never even heard any death metal songs but If they did, I’m sure they’d almost faint at those growling vocals of doom and that’s why I love it!
Death metal makes no apologises for its macabre tones and visual connotations, it is an extreme form of metal music that takes you on a hell raising journey throughout the duration of any given track.
OK, so we all know the Eagles are amazingly talented musicians, super cool rock stars and all-round great guys, but it turns out Jesse had a hidden talent; TV presenting. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t introducing ‘Songs of Praise'or guest presenting the ‘Antiques Roadshow'(though it would have been great to see the reaction of the usual sweet little old ladies on the programme as a moustachioed, tattooed rock God enthused “I loved this jewellery ”) but was featuring on the Internet TV channel Vice, co-hosting a documentary series about living the rock ‘n'roll dream.
Yay – the Eagles are heading across the Atlantic!! Well, not the Eagles in their entirety, but Jesse is planning a European tour with his new project Boots Electric “real soon” according to a recent interview. Get me a ticket!
Actually, the whole interview was great to read, if you’re from the UK. The whole chat seemed to be about how much he loves us – which is only to be expected seeing as his family has Welsh roots. But (more…)
The Wikipedia entry for the Eagles describes them as an ‘American Rock Band’. That’s not exactly how I would describe them, and I’m pretty sure it’s not how Josh Homme would describe them either. Yet Homme has been busy elsewhere this year collaborating with Alain Johannes on the theme tune for the animated US TV show ‘Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1’. With Jesse Hughes off promoting his standalone album, Eagle’s fans are becoming increasingly resigned to the fact that the band may never tour again.
Critics have argued that Homme has always been distracted by his commitments to the Queens of the Stone Age, yet he has always returned to the Eagles at one time or another. With Hughes charismatically giving every audience member a joygasm at all their performances, it seems only a matter of time before the Eagles return to the roost and belt out some great hits for the legions of fans following them.
In the meantime the best way to keep the faith alive is through the internet. The Eagles do listen and they do keep an eye on all the fan sites including this one, so if we all start demanding a return to the stage from them on a regular basis we may yet lure Hughes and Homme back to perform. In fact I think that is something all Eagles fans should now agree to. To save our souls and minds the Eagles must return and we are the only ones who can get them back. Pass it on to your friends, your family, your colleagues…anyone who can join the cause! Share the music videos…
Spread the word abroad as well. If you’re going on holiday keep in touch with the community on your phone – it’s important that we do not let the momentum slip. If you’re worried about spending too much money whilst you’re away, don’t be. There are some great roaming rates available to use. You just have to know where to look and it doesn’t take two minutes to track down a good deal using the internet. The Eagles must fly again, and with all of us campaigning together they can!
Another way I would suggest to help us promote the band and force them to perform again would be to share their music with as many people as possible. Send your friends links to this site, send them tracks from the albums, Bluetooth information, email shot everyone you know, start your own Eagles blog…do anything that will get the band’s attention and make them soar once again.
LONG LIVE THE EAGLES!
People who have never heard of the Eagles deserve to find out exactly what they’ve been missing. Any friend you have who is not traditionally a rock or metal fan should be easy to convince as the Eagles are neither. To fight for the Eagles to return we must stand together. A hundred voices are better then just one! Long live the Eagles of Death Metal.
I may be female and a fan of the Eagles of Death Metal, but I would like to think I’m not a typical female fan of the Eagles of Death Metal! A couple of my girlfriends, who are also big fans of the group, are forever drooling over Jesse, going on and on about how gorgeous he is and how is body is so hot, etc etc. I have to say, I would rather attend a 20-hour seminar on HR (more…)
When NME reported news that Eagles frontman Jesse Hughes was working on a solo project back in April, many fans immediately assumed the band were splitting up. Not so according to Hughes. He fully expects the band to be back on tour next year. A quick look at the official website showed a lot of news about Hughes'solo project ‘Boots Electric’, but no new tour dates for the Eagles have been announced which has made many fans uneasy.
The other morning I was talking to a friend of mine about Rowan Dartington stock broking services, which was a rather sensible conversation when N.I.B by Black Sabbath came on over the radio. It took me by surprise firstly because it is not often that Black Sabbath have radio air time and secondly because I had forgotten how much I loved the music they made. Sometimes when a band haven’t created any new music together for a considerable amount of (more…)
Death metal according to a close friend of mine is one the best thing that happened to rock music. The same person once told me that rock is the best thing that ever happened to music. In order words, death metal is the best that ever happened to music. My friend is so engrossed with metal and he is like the number one death metal fan I know in the world. Everything about him speaks death metal music. He knows (more…)
A friend of mine asked me the other day if I could teach him to head bang. I get on with this guy a hell of a lot and he’s very much into the same music as me. He’s definitely not one of these metal head wannabes that decided in their mid twenties that they like heavy metal because they picked up an Iron Maiden album in the sale because he liked the cover. He is a true death metal (more…)
The Eagles are denying rumours of a split, but when a key member of the band decides he wants to go off and work on a solo project…. Well, I always fear that means the band’s days are numbered! That’s why I’m a bit torn over the news that Eagles frontman Jesse Hughes is going to be launching his debut solo album later this year. On one hand I’m really excited to hear some new stuff from someone associated with (more…)
