Eagles Of Death Metal Speak Up About Paris Attacks

Published: November 25, 2015

In the early afternoon of November 13, I was working, and as always periodically scanning my Twitter feed to keep up with the world outside of my office. I caught wind of the attacks in Paris very shortly after the first explosion at the Stade De France was reported. And I followed, decreasingly casually, as reports came of gunmen shooting up cafés. And then I started seeing reports trickle in of a hostage situation at a concert venue. My initial assumption was that a perpetrator or two had gotten pinned down, incidentally, on their way out of a fight, taking hostages as some desperate sort of hail Mary, as you see all the time in movies. Movies that usually end with SWAT teams storming in and tying things up nicely. I looked up the name of the venue, and then decided, just out of curiosity, to see what obscure French pop band was playing that night. Maybe I’d heard of them.
And then I went pale.
Most of the current lineup of Eagles Of Death Metal are very dear personal friends of mine. Our shared history flashed before my eyes in an electric rush, starting with a messy, abandoned attempt at an Antiquiet documentary
