What kind of music?
No, they do not play death metal. Neither the metal elsewhere. But the rock between garage and blues. The theme their favorite music love (to do so, especially), with many irony . For example, the song Wannabe in LA , released in 2009: “I came to LA [Los Angeles] to be rock ‘n’ roll / I had to sell my soul the way / I got good friends that make me say / I want really be in LA “Jesse Hughes explained then 20 Minutes that” Hollywood is ironic. We are not living, we’re working on. Everyone going for glory. And as everyone seeks his own interest, is not there that binds sincere friendships. “
The group does not hesitate to play around the same hearts when they arrived on the scene. ..
Who are they?
The official members are Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme who founded the EODM in 1998 in California. However, many musicians (and friends) regularly join the duo. In reality, Josh Homme -accaparé its many projects and groups, including Queens of the Stone Age- appears above while writing and recording albums. Besides, he was not at the Bataclan November 13.

Jesse Hughes, lover armed
Jesse Hughes boasts all the attributes of the snapshot of the American rocker: boots, tattoos (one pigeon defecating in “tribute” to Axl Rose, who treated group “Pigeons of Shit Metal”), jeans, sunglasses, cigarettes, etc. He is known for his humor, his self-deprecating, his side “enjoy life” and especially its contradictions . Advocating love (“If you want the girls to be nice to you, you must first be kind to them,” he told NME ), it is however a strong defender of the right to bear arms.

The controversy Tel Aviv
Just after the attacks of 13 November, an Israeli media, Ynet, said “the land in return promised the group.” A somewhat exaggerated way: not that the Eagles have specific ties to the country, they just had a concert scheduled in Tel Aviv in the summer of 2016.
