Eagles Of Death Metal Speak Out About Paris Massacre, Vow To Complete Their Tour [VIDEO]

The A.V. Club reports:



In the interview with Vice, they talk about the attack on the Bataclan, the carnage and heroism they witnessed there, and the future of Eagles Of Death Metal. “Our friends went [to the Bataclan] to see rock ‘n’ roll and died. I want to go back there and live,” band co-founder Jesse Hughes says. Going forward, the band’s other co-founder, Josh Homme, encourages artists in any genre to record the Eagles Of Death Metal song “I Love You All The Time;” he says their label will donate all publishing proceeds from the covers to victims of the attacks, and challenges streaming services to do the same. It’s a profoundly emotional interview—Hughes describes one fan surviving by hiding under his leather jacket in their dressing room, and Homme reveals that he keeps a list of the names of everyone killed in the attack in his pocket—well worth its 26-minute running time.
