Eagles of Death Metal formed in Palm Desert, California in 1998
and first appeared on Josh Homme's The Desert Sessions Volumes 3 &
4, released that year. Over the next few years, Homme became distracted
from the band due to the success of Queens of the Stone Age. However,
the band finally released an album on March 23 2004: Peace, Love, Death
Metal.
The debut album appeared to be a favorite of advertisers, as several
songs from it were used in American television commercials including
those for Comcast, Payless ShoeSource, Nissan Motors, Budweiser,
Pontiac Motors, Wendys, as well as in the trailer for the film Thank
You for Smoking.
The first song on the album, "I Only Want You," was also used on the
soundtrack for the PS2 game Gran Turismo 4. Globe Shoes, a manufacturer
of skateboard shoes, has featured the song in the montage section of
episode 1 in their new series of skate films entitled,United By Fate.
Recently, the track "Chase the Devil" from the album Death by Sexy was
included in the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Project 8. Not only that,
the track "Don't Speak (I Came to Make a Bang!)" was part of the
soundtrack for Electronic Arts Need for Speed: Carbon
The band returned on April 11, 2006 with their second effort Death by
Sexy. During the first half of 2006 they toured in support of The
Strokes and headlined their own U.S. tour with openers The Giraffes
followed by dates opening for Peaches. Since then, they have performed
with Joan Jett and were recently supposed to go on tour with Guns N'
Roses. In their first concert with Guns N' Roses, a concert in
Cleveland, Ohio on November 24, 2006, the band was not well received by
the crowd at all. When Axl Rose came out to perform, he asked the crowd
if they enjoyed "the Pigeons of Shit Metal," and announced that the
show would be their last with Guns N' Roses. Shortly thereafter the
band released a statement regarding the incident:
" At first, the audience refused to welcome us to the jungle, but by
the time we took our final bow, it had become paradise city. Although
Axl tried to November rain on our parade, no sweet child o' mine can
derail the EODM night train. We say live and let die.[3] ” They took
further stabs at Guns N' Roses, claiming that there was aggravation
between Axl Rose and Tommy Stinson (the bassist of GN'R). Later they
also claimed that Rose had invited the band back for the rest of their
scheduled dates as support act.[4] The band also received full payment
for the entire tour despite playing only a single show with the band.
Hughes has brought up during interviews that new material has been
written and their third album will be released this year.
