Josh Homme on jokes about Eagles of Death Metal Tragedy 

listened to both TCV and Oysterhead yesterday!

@@archieboy7858 You had a good music day!

You've got good taste in music. I approve.

agreed

Yeah! Some Oysterhead love!

True, it's just a shame he can't be this respectful normally. Guy is an extremeley talented dickhead

"Humor"

I just stumbled upon his podcast right now. This is a great clip, so I’ll be listening now.

@@david_yordanov Absolutely

​@@david_yordanoveveryone has different tastes, you're not some arbitrator.

Making fun of someone's hand being blown off is offensive. And on top of that he was not present that night.

​@@rodrisoulalalia6278doesn't matter. A joke is a joke. No one can police jokes. No matter how offensive.

​@@rodrisoulalalia6278what if the person who got the hand blown off actually finds it funny?

Same, it drives my wife up the wall tho :D

Or worse, the Céline Dion song from the soundtrack on loop during the descent. Egads!

Yellow submarine

I appreciate this. It's a shame the other comments let it fly right over.

@@domenicgalata1470 that’s the definition of hell ffs

Octopus' Garden

A bit simplistic. Anything can and should be a joke. Doesn't mean everyone will find it funny, and that's okay. It's the people that get incredibly upset and go, 'you shouldn't joke about that,' which is incredibly dumb.

​@Octavian2 it's all a matter of taste. Tragedy to me could be humor to others and vise verse. It can hurt but it's not wrong.

​@@kevinpluck_WarlordI think it's something like a coping mechanism. 9/11 for example has been joked about and meme'd for quite some time, perhaps it's healthy to remove the horrific context of these things and replace it with something new. Perhaps it's my privilege to even suggest that because I wasn't implicated in the tragedy... I guess free speech exists within a fine margin

Not what he said in the slightest. Quite the opposite actually.

@@scootaymildo1070legitimately. Mans hears first 10 seconds and tries to pull out his dick

My uncle is an amputee, he lost his leg in a road accident when he was 5 years old, he hates talking about it, he has a prosthetic leg and he limps a little, if people ask him why he's limping, he'll say that he had a little incident while playing tennis, his wife forced him to get a handicapped card so he can park, but he refused, he told me that he hated how people looked at him.

@@alexmajax everyone handles it how they do. I think I’d be fine answering a child curiosity but what do I know. I’m sorry your uncle experienced such a horrible experience. He may hate talking about it because of the way he’s been either teased as he young kid or the people around him handle it or also the reason it happened. I know that when young kids go through stuff like that typically, they adapt way better than an adult that’s had their leg the whole time. Having said that I think a lot of bad experiences come down to how you’re treated by the people around you afterwards that makes the difference

@@Lilrumbles That's also my opinion, it's a childhood trauma.

😂😂😂😂

They were involved in an awful terrorist attack in France, there’s tons of content about it, horrible stuff, nightmarish

They’re still around they did a covers album in 2019 and their next proper album should be coming up after qotsa is done touring, there’s an interview from 2022 where Jesse said they’re currently recording a new album

I suppose the irony of your statement is lost on you eh?

We should follow your advice

ANARCHY!

No gods, no masters

DAMN YOU! I'll never unmember that 😂

He weren’t..

It was where they were playing that night, right?

He wasn't. Rest of the EODM were though.

@@schillinger7814 Ah thats right man, i knew there was a connection. It changed jesse hughes a bit too if i remember right? How would it not i guess.

While he was the founding drummer for EODM, he was not there at the night of the shooting, but he was there for their make up show.

7 shot in Columbus Ohio when Dimebag was murdered 2004. Sure he would have went further if he wasn't stopped.

@@kcvids5455 i couldn't remember how many people were actually shot there.

@@anthonyrowland90724 people were killed altogether and it would have been much more if not for a single policeman responding and killing the shooter within 3 minutes of the the first shots. 2 of the victims (chief of security for the band and an employee for the venue) were killed while trying to disarm the shooter and 1 (a fan) was killed while trying to resuscitate Dimebag and the others.

At a place where people are not allowed to defend themselves with guns? Whoda thunk it?

@@illegitimatefilm been to a lot of gigs where patrons have guns? Yeah, no

you giving the "high" IQ people who presently deem themselves judge and jury of all things funny a pass? In the digital age they seem to be more of an obstruction w their molesting of all things data...

@@alanagottalottasay997 I'm not "giving" anyone anything, people already have a "pass" called freedom. People have freedom to have opinions and make jokes, and people have freedom to get offended by opinions and jokes, and they also have freedom to not listen to these things and move on with their day. But people DON'T have the right to try to stop someone else's freedom because they don't like what they said. And dumb narcissistic people are the ones who are more likely to do this. There's no argument against this that doesn't involve putting one person's freedom above another's, and the only reason why someone would try to argue that is because they're also a dumb narcissist who tries to silence others.

Well, I would say that if you get offended by people with low IQ getting offended, then you aren't that high IQ yourself, right? lmao By the end of the day it's about not giving a fuck. But of course if people are trying to get on your nerves all the time, eventually you get offended, and if they do that more frequently to you than to other people, you gonna get offended more. Hence the people fighting for less "offending". So I personally think your comment is mostly just tasteless and without much rationale behind it

@@lowlink534 You obviously don't understand anything. There's a huge difference between getting offended at something and moving on than getting offended and trying to silence someone's freedom of opinion/speech because of it. The latter is fascism. It's not getting offended at people getting offended, people can get all butthurt all they want, who cares, it's speaking out against others trying to take away human rights and freedoms. What you said is like saying, "Oh you're getting offended at people being enslaved" idiot lmao

The idea that political repression is worse now than in the past is ironically far more “low IQ” than being offended by a joke.

What’s your story?

Bullshit

I don’t think they played the actual joke

Clip at 1:34 Neal: So I just mention it in the setup -

What a retarded statement.

Where’s the pretentiousness?

You're saying NEAL is a precious motherfucker???

​@@JasonWindsor88he needs to let Josh speak and stop butting in with his own bs

@@btmilner podcast, not an interview. Let it go.

how do you so thoroughly misunderstand something

Arrogance is thinking that a person who gets offended has priority over someone that offended them. Both have the equal right to express themselves, and it's absolutely fine for someone to get offended and speak their mind about it. But what is absolutely NOT fine is trying to stop people from freely expressing themselves because you don't agree or think it's in bad taste.

Nice straw man at the end there.

I don't think its too much to ask for a comedian to actually be funny rather than be shocking for shocking sake. And at the very least stand by their statements without crying wolf about the evils of censorship via cancel culture.

@@spaghettieastern88 What's funny is all a matter of opinion and yours is no more right than any comedian's. Saying censorship is bad is not crying wolf, it's just speaking out against fascism and people who can't handle their emotions.

Abortion is murder.
