It’s really interesting what he said about Falco and his fans because that is completely what Boots Electric is like in real life. Approachable, genuine, and extremely good humored.
I saw that concert in San Antonio, and EODM were fucking terrible. Hughes is a moron and a loser- if he weren’t friends with Josh Homme he’d still be living at his mother’s house and working at Blockbuster.
Erik Harker He pozed for photos with every single one of us in a concert, thanked us that we came then played some club music and smoked cigarretes until the other members came and started the show.
Jesse's got the vibe of a guy who's had to claw his way out to get what he has....he appreciates his life and spreads it's goodness everywhere...you want dudes like that to win at life 1st EODM in my top 10 rock albums all time...1st road album picked for sure
he was a political writer for Sunny Bono before Josh talked him into getting into rock. Josh taught him how to play guitar and they started EODM. They came up with the name of the band in the parking lot at the Beer Hunter in Palm Desert.
He is surprisingly articulate. However, his upbeat manner is a result of amphetamine-induced hypomania. For that reason, he puts me on edge. I am afraid he is headed for a fall.
He has been that way from the getgo. Even when I helped him pick out his first amp VoxAC15/guitar, also gave him a few simple lessons/tips and took him to his first show where he opened for a guy that hilariously sounded like Morrissey, no shit. I wish I could recall that guys name, I don't think he plays music anymore, we nearly broke out in laughs but out of respect kept quiet for Morrissey jr's set and even encouraged him afterwards. So there you have it a real story not told til now.
+David Williams good shit. josh reckons they came up with the name when a friend was showing/playing em some bands music, and one of em said the band 'sounded like the eagles of death metal'.
Man, I don’t know if josh homme talks and has the same body language as Jesse or it’s the other way around. They are so similar is scary in the way they talk, look around and body language
More articulate than 10 professional cultural critics put together. Maybe if he gets tired of being a rock dude, he could be a writer or public intellectual.
Met him before a show in Santa Cruz. The nicest guy you’ll ever meet. Came out and smoked a cigarette with the people who were waiting to get into the show 45 min before it started.
When i was like 13, i got to meet him and EODM om their bus and he gave me this rare QOTSA poster of a lady with a huge pubic hair beard. Such a nice man and i hope ill have another conversation one day now that im older
dude, why do you have to politicise everything? i commented on a video about music. come on, man. we can have that discussion if you want, but not in this context.
We have watched over 100 Amoeba WIMB videos, almost always surprised and delighted, but this one is easily in the top five. Now Wife and I will check out the Eagles of Death Metal. Yeah, we never heard of them till now, but we are in our 60s and sold our souls to Bowie, Iggy Pop and Black Sabbath in 73, so what do you expect.
Mega props for picking up Short Cuts. Always loved the stories of Raymond Carver. Their translation to film was way better than it had any right to be.
@@matthewburrows4359 I'm the most left-leaning person you will find but man, I'd feel bad even judging what Jesse said back then after what he went through. No doubt my whole world view would be shaken immediately after experiencing something like that. I doubt he still "hates Muslims" the same way nowadays.
lol. the government has guns already, guy. big guns and lots of them. so we need guns to be a force to be reckoned with. it's how the country started. the first battle of the Revolutionary War started when the British were coming to take our guns from our armory at Concord. A bunch of committeemen got in their way. with guns. and the war went from there. if the colonists let the British disarm them, the British would've governed them any way they like, with nothing to fear. so thank goodness for those strong, brave men who would not be ruled over. that's America.
Of course Jesse is articulate, and a hell of a nice guy. Anyone that would allude to him heading for a fall need not worry, Rancho de la Luna is strong.
This video made me want to pick up an Eagles of Death Metal album. I've never heard a track of there's except what was featured here. But come Saturday ill be at my local record store to pick one up. Blind buy. I will support these chill ass dudes with my money.
I love boots. One of the best performers and front men I've ever had the privilege to see. Great call on that Eddie Murphy single too. That song always gets the party rockin.
of all these kind of videos i've seen this seems to be the only dude who knows his shit, not the biggest Eagles of Death Metal fan but i will surely listen to them more
I was with him on this interview..he does give some of the best interviews in this buisness and can make some of the best times you ever had...or the worst...it depends on which way the ball bouncesbetter make sure it bounces the right way. These moments were some of the best times in my life either around the world or back at home the tour never stops ... its awesome.
I just watched 'Short Cuts' thanks to this guy. I appreciate how he disagrees with the conclusions of the film. He seems pretty cool and like another commenter mentioned, very articulate.
