If there were flags with slogans or Eiffel Towers hang out in the public? Jesse Hughes says something about? Is there noticing something extra stress at this show? One thing he says about it, at the announcement of Boots Electric-track ‘Complexity’ ‘Let’s drop the complex cases. ” This is perhaps for the best. And do not think about all those complicated statements about conspiracies and Muslims.

What remains is an hour carefree rock with all the clichés that go with it: picks shooting into the crowd like the ninja stars are playing off a in the audience, a leather Bowie jacket that goes out after one track and on to the Bowie cover. Hell , there is even a guitar smashed into apparent surprise of the guitarist with the ZZ Top beard. Though feigned surprise at something in itself a rockcliché again. “Goddamn it, amen!”

Are you going to say something about the music, Mr. reviewer?
Yes, sorry. It is difficult, after all that has happened, and after all the crap that Jesse entertained us. But hey, Eagles Of Death Metal, of course, remains an above average rock band with catchy songs and a smooth combination of California desertrock and simple rock and roll. Oh yeah, and a disco song.

Still, it seemed that the fut there was a bit out of ‘Bataclan. Could it be that this bizarre event Jesse Hughes’ career does not turn around the neck, but instead breathes new life?
You should really conduct a survey among the public. Who has never been an Eagles Of Death Metal show seen and has now been sent to the Alpha by the news last year? Chances are frankly quite large that Eagles Of Death Metal here to start a new phase

The question is:. The belt is there myself actually ready If something is difficult to predict, then it is of Eagles of Death Metal the future. It could just be that Jesse Hughes or any of the other members well again to go under. So far the band tries with all his might the opposite. Forward with renewed zest for life
