80 - Eagles of Death Metal

So we have made it 1/5 of the way there. Here are the next 20 bands.



At number 80 is Eagles of Death Metal. They do not play death metal. Isn't that funny? EoDM feature Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, only here he plays the drums instead of singing and playing guitar. EoDM are like QotSA, only quirkier and extremely ... um, fruity.

Wiki - Eagles of Death Metal are an American garage rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1998 by Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme. Despite the name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. Hughes said that a friend was trying to introduce Josh Homme to the death metal genre. When he played the Polish band Vader and made a claim that the song was death metal, Homme called them "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. In a 2003 interview Homme described the sound of the band as a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals." Jesse Hughes is known and loved by fans for his enthusiastic and charismatic interaction with audiences at live performances.
