U2 loves Eagles of Death Metal. You too?
Waterloo Record
?I?m a George Clinton fanatic with an unhealthy obsession with Little Richard? Hughes confesses over the phone while driving from his home in California?s Palm Desert to Hollywood. ?Every once in a while you?ve gotta get on the Tutti Frutti side of life y?know??He?s being serious inasmuch as he?s capable of being serious. The music of Eagles of Death Metal does indeed blissfully borrow from the bombastic boogie of George Clinton?s Funkadelic and the hyper-charged early rock of Little Richard. But it also takes generous cues from punk classic rock country and anything else that will get booties (young female booties preferably) a-shaking. Whatever their music is Eagles of Death Metal are getting noticed for it. They?ve done the late-night talk show circuit gigged around the globe (including a stop at Elements in Kitchener July 30) and recently have earned some praise from the biggest names in rock. Bono and The Edge the core members of the world?s biggest band U2 are unabashed fans of Eagles of Death Metal.
MUSIC INTERVIEW: God Forbid
Rochester City Newspaper
How do you fit in the line-up on this current tour?I think it's fairly obvious we don't fit in with anybody on this tour. We have a much different approach than the rest of the bands on this tour. n one hand you have what are mostly death metal bands – even though those band each have their own sound they do their own thing and there's definitely a similar approach. And then some of the other bands like Killswitch and Trivium are more melodic and geared more toward that catchy chorus. And I think the best word to say for us is we're a bit more unconventional. I think we stand out on this tour a lot actually. And perhaps coming from a black perspective as well?I guess visually aesthetically you could say we're non-conventional.

Q&A: Brutal Truth’s Dan Lilker
Baltimore City Paper
Now you have this thing where you have bands mixing it. And you might ask Well what’s the difference?. Well death metal is a lot more technical and clinical and grind is punk-rock-based and sloppy. And lyrically where in the beginning it was mostly punk-rock protest lyrics now you have things like goregrind which is like an extension of death-metal bands like Cannibal Corpse where some people are writing songs about something they’d like to see in a horror movie. Some of it I think is a little misogynistic–you know talking about various things they would do to women. A lot of these guys are just teenagers like living out their fantasies and I think some of that is a little immature. But I’m not going to sit there and lecture people.
