”But for many fans metal is not just their favorite music to listen to it also speaks to and informs their lives. They are part of a global community of headbangers. n Friday the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival will stop at Blossom Music Center bringing with it a mix of new and old metal bands and a variety of metal subgenres. Metal has generally been considered masculine and adolescent and for much of its history it has been derided by critics nonfans and conservative and religious groups for its embracing and some would say glorification of the ugly side of human existence. Before the rise of gangsta rap any conservative group looking for a musical target could easily set its ideological cross hairs on metal. Bands such as Metallica and Disturbed sell millions of records and sell out arenas.

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.
