Rating: AHAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHA. Well ahhahahaha let’s have this third laugh too!
If a CD by a band with a name like "Eagles of Death Metal," with a light blue-pink cover and various poses of a hand making the horns & co, appears in front of your eyes, you either think it’s some group of gay metalheads, or you wonder what that enigmatic package hides. Once you’ve placed the CD in the player and hit play, you hear a rock and roll rhythm, guitars straight out of a Tarantino movie, and a very comical and suave voice (ironically).
At this point, there are two reactions:
- If you’ve paid 20 euros (downloading it would be better) for the CD and you didn’t like it at all because you hate Elvis and feel mocked, you will throw the disc to the ground and stomp on it, cursing the seller who pushed it on you.
- You start tapping your hands on anything (table, legs, pots) to keep up with that cheerful rhythm and will try to emulate the mustachioed singer of EODM, loving him as an idol, a new god of RnR.
Let’s say I didn’t have either reaction, for a certain reason: I picked up the disc aware that it was Rock and Roll peppered with irony, but instead of keeping time on a pot, I was about to prepare dinner.
So, after successive listens, I realized I had in my hands the amazing creation of Josh Homme, (who financed the production of the album) who, in his spare time, while recording "Lullabies to Paralyze," had committed to playing the drums to let loose in this side project with his mustachioed friend, another (?) genius mind of the Eagles of Death Metal, not to mention a far from virtuoso guitarist.
Speaking of the album, apart from a few songs that stand out from the crowd, the others turn out to be quite repetitive and on the same line as the others, but the idea deserves credit. In the song lyrics, the two indulge in building tragicomic sexually-themed situations that verge on perversion.
For fans of Queens of the Stone Age & Nick Olivieri and Mondo Generator, the album is more than recommended, indeed essential, especially if you appreciated the famous "Desert Session"; on the contrary, if you are not a fan of QOTSA and you see it in a store, on the shelf, at the letter "E" unless it costs 10 euros, it’s not worth buying, you would be disappointed.
But if you like a bit of good old RnR, then go wild with these madmen, they won’t disappoint you.

09 Stuck in the Metal (03:18)
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the metal with you
Stuck in the metal with you
Well, I'm stuck in the metal with you
And I'm wondering what is I should do
It's so hard to wipe this smile from my face
Lose control and I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the metal with you
[Chorus:]
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
[Repeat Chorus]
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the metal with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the metal with you
Here I am, here I am
Stuck in the metal with you
11 Kiss the Devil (02:53)
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll song his song?...
Who will love the devil and his song?...
I'll love the devil!...
I'll sing his song!...
I will love the devil and his song!...
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll kiss his tongue?...
Who will kiss the devil on his tongue?...
I'll love the devil!...
I'll kiss his tongue!...
I will kiss the devil on his tongue!...
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll sing his song?...
I will love the devil and his song!...
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll kiss his tongue?...
I will kiss the devil on his tongue!...
Who'll love the devil?...
Who'll sing his song?...
I WILL LOVE THE DEVIL AND SING HIS SONG!...
13 San Berdoo Sunburn (03:42)
Tapping time with one good finger
I got this girlfriend and she's a swinger
We make plans and then we head out to
San Bernardino
We get gas at the local P & M
Buy a coke in a can made of tin
We drink fast because
We're headed out west to San Bernardino
And we shall miss Carolina
And the east coast as opposed to the west
We won't shed any tears though
Nor even be sad because we know
The western desert is the best!
I filled a bag with cigarettes and apple wine
We'll hit the road again at 10 mintues to 9
Me and this girl I think she's pregnant
And we're headed to San Bernardino
And then when we hit Texas
We'll stop in Amarillo for a bite to eat
We'll stop on over in Dallas
And visit my friend but we can't stay
For more than a week
I've got the south in my veins
But California in my mouth
And that's the simple reason
Why i'm leaving the south
Me and this girl and she's so foxy
And we're heading to San Bernardino
Whoo
That was close we crossed the Tennesse state border
They would've locked us up by the sheriffs order
Yes we're freaks
But they can't touch us out west
In San Bernardino
And we shall miss Carolina
And the east coast as opposed to the west
We won't shed any tears though
Nor even be sad because we know
The western desert is the best!
I filled a bag with cigarettes and apple wine
We'll hit the road again at 10 mintues to 9
Me and this girl and she's so foxy
And we're heading to San Bernardino.
