Joined by Jack Black, Brody Dalle, Mark Lanegan, and QOTSA's Joey Castillo, they recorded Death by Sexy in eight days. Hughes and Homme reunited in fall 2005 to make the second Eagles of Death Metal album. The group then opened for the Distillers on their European tour. The group's debut full-length Peace Love Death Metal arrived in March of 2004 via Homme's own Rekords Rekords label and AntAcidAudio (a sister label of Mike Patton's Ipecac Records). During QOTSA's time off, Homme and Hughes (with guitarist Timmy VanHamel in tow) then set out on the Eagles' first tour opening for Placebo during late November/early December.
Homme wore an Eagles of Death Metal T-shirt throughout QOTSA's Lollapalooza road jaunt that summer, while a sneak preview track, "I Only Want You," appeared online. Reconvening in 2003, the duo recorded three days' worth of material, capturing many songs with the first take. When QOTSA found success with 1998's Queens of the Stone Age, 2000's R, and 2002's Songs for the Deaf, Hughes and Homme relaunched the Eagles of Death Metal as more than just a one-off project. However, the new group was put on the back burner while Homme got Queens of the Stone Age off the ground with another high-school friend of both his and Hughes, bassist Nick Oliveri.

3-4 of Homme's ongoing Desert Sessions series in 1998. Eagles of Death Metal formed soon after, debuting with a few tracks on Vols. A few years later, Homme convinced his old friend (who was down in the dumps at the time over a divorce) to start jamming on music, with Homme on drums and Hughes handling guitar and vocal duties. The pair bonded as teenagers while playing together on the same local soccer team, but went in separate career paths after graduation - Homme formed Kyuss before launching Queens of the Stone Age, while Hughes attended the University of South Carolina and became a journalist. Not long after, he met and befriended Homme. Following the terrorist attack at their 2015 show at Paris' La Bataclan that killed 89 people, Eagles of Death Metal persevered, with 2019's covers album Eagles Of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing The Best Songs We Never Wrote reflecting the music that offered Hughes solace in the wake of the attack.īorn in Greenville, South Carolina, Hughes moved to Palm Desert, California at age seven.
Their quickly recorded 2004 debut Peace Love Death Metal introduced Hughes and Homme's music at its scrappiest, while later albums such as 2008's Heart On and 2015's Zipper Down took a more polished, but still brash, approach. Despite their name, the band's music is a revved-up blend of garage rock, boogie rock and hard rock, with elements of glam rock, blues rock and swamp rock added in for good measure.
The collaboration of lifelong friends Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme, Eagles of Death Metal grew from a side project into a full-fledged band with a riff-heavy, tongue-in-cheek identity of its own.
