Eagles of Death Metal

Palm Desert, California rock band EODM (Eagles Of Death Metal) formed in 1998 by best friends Jesse Hughes (a.k.a. The Devil/Boots Electric) and Queen of the Stones Age's Josh Homme (a.k.a. Carlo Von Sexron/DP Pete/Baby Duck/Zombie Zebra).

Despite their band name, EODM is not a death metal band. The story goes that a friend was introducing Josh Homme to the death metal genre. When he played a song by the Polish band Vader and made a claim that the song was within the death metal genre, Homme then referred to Vader as "The Eagles of Death Metal". After hearing this phrase, he wondered what a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. With that, the band was born.

Homme - who rarely performs at live shows due to his commitment to Queens of the Stone - describes their sound as a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals."

Their songs has appeared in many movies and commercials including the track "Don't Speak (I Came to Make a Bang!)" on the soundtrack of Epic Movie, Need for Speed: Carbon, Lost Boys: The Tribe and the trailers for both The Green Hornet, and The Losers.

Following the Bataclan terrorist attack at their sold-out November 2015 concert in Paris, which left 90 fans dead, Homme encouraged musicians of any genre to cover the band's song "I Love You All the Time", with the proceeds donated to the victims of the attack. The song was subsequently covered by several artists, including Florence and the Machine, My Morning Jacket, and Kings of Leon.
