Eagles of Death Metal Discuss Paris Shooting in Their First Interview Since the Attacks

Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme  have given their first interview since the deadly attack at Eagles of Death Metal‘s show at Le Bataclan in Paris on November 13. Speaking with VICE co-founder Shane Smith, they discussed the trajectory of the evening’s events– how the shooting unfolded, the band’s reaction, and more.

Both men are visibly shaken during the interview. Homme was not present at the concert, but Hughes recounts the night, detailing the audience members’ bravery amid terror. He says:

Several people hid in our dressing room, and the killers were able to get in and they killed everyone except for a kid who was hiding under my leather jacket. … People were playing dead and they were so scared. A great reason why so many were killed is because so many people wouldn’t leave their friends. So many people put themselves in front of people.

The interview also contains fan footage that was recorded at the concert that night, including some jarring clips of what appears to be the first rounds of fire.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.

The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.

The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.

“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.

He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”

Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.

War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.

Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
