5:21 PM ESTâThe band playing at Bataclan Theater tonight, where the hostages are being held, is a Californian band called Eagles of Death Metal. Their new album, the band joked in an interview, was released because their absence from music caused âall sorts of Middle East troublesâ:
And we realize that our lack of putting out a record, that absence of Eagles of Death Metal music, had a really negative byproduct. There were all sorts of Middle East troubles and all these other things, so weâre sorry for that. We didnât wanna cause that by not putting out music, but we figured now that weâre gonna put this stuff out, most of the world should kind of come back together like before.
So essentially Zipper Down is the Eagles of Death Metal response to terrorism>
Yeah. We put out a record and human rights are better, the world feels better, people make more money, thereâs less anger, people are more respectful to women and to homosexuals, and theyâre generally nicer each other, theyâre kinder to each other, and thatâs why we really felt like it was time to let the healing begin.
Dear God, what a bunch of idiots. They could have possibly spearheaded this, on this particular night, with that asinine comment. I’m not saying they are responsible for any act of terrorism, but holy cow.
