Eagles of Death Metal

A good band reintroduced to us in less than favorable circumstances, Eagles of Death Metal were performing last week in Paris at the sight of the ISIS attacks......first time I'd heard thier name in a while, Eagles of Death metal are/were basically a flosting conglommeration of various stoner scene vets, unified by QOTSA's Josh Homme......anyway, good enough time as any to feature them here. BTW, These lads have NOTHING to do with "death metal"......the name is more  a stab at the "band" The Eagles, actually.....

"Peace Love and Death Metal" was released in 2004, it contains a lot of stoner-scene guests, such as my love Brody Dalle and Mark Oliveri, some good tracks on here, "Miss Alissa" and "I Only Want You" are decent (ahem) "Stoner-pop"......

Next came "Death By Sexy", similar format, lots of guest appearances....."I Gotta Feelin'" and "I Want You So Hard" standout, not so much the "bonus" cover versions that are tacked on the end of the disc........you be the judge!

Finally we have "Heart On", another similar collection, featuring "Wannabe In LA" and some other decent moments, who would have guessed that this crew would release three albums, decentones at that........I understand they have a recent release "Zipper Down" which I have not heard or found.....anyone wanna hook a brother up?

And since I love you all so much, I have perhaps the DEFINITIVE Eagles of Death Metal recording, 2003's "Live at Slims".......nice and grungy, a lot of early versions of the tracks on the first album......note to dabblers, if I were to seek out only ONE album here, the live effort would be it......trust me?

A badcircumstance for thrusting Eagles of Death metal back into the spotlight, but perhaps one tiney iota of good can come amidst the tragedy, if I can introduce them to a new fan or two. I hope so, we need to salvage SOMETHING good from a tragic situation.

Good stuff here, check it out, but all the while keep in mind the victims of the attack......as I said before, if a tiny smidgen of good comes from this tragedy, could it be that a few of you discover that Eagles of Death Metal really were a good, solid, humorous, novelty rock band........hope you enjoy em!
