Eagles Of Death Metal Walk Out On Guns n' Roses Tour

After jibes from Axl Rose...

Tuesday 28th Nov 2006

Eagles Of Death Metal have quit their fifteen date support slot with Gun n? Roses after a run in with the audience and Axl Rose at the first gig.

The band walked out on the US tour following Friday?s show in Cleveland where they were booed by the audience.

Then during GNR?s headline set Axl Rose referred to the band as ?The Pigeons of Shit Metal? and that seemingly was the straw that broke the camels back.

In a statement referring to the walkout EODM singer Jesse Hughes said: "At first the audience refused to welcome us to the jungle, but by the time we took our final bow, it had become paradise city.?

?Although Axl tried to November rain on our parade, no sweet child o' mine can derail the EODM night train. We say live and let die."

Eagles of Death Metal are now set to head out on their own tour while GNR are still looking for a band to fill their shoes.

  • It sounds like the Eagle boys have very thin skin. Axl and his crowd play rough. It was probably more of a hazing and razzing remark to ignite the competitive fire of the birdies. Instead, they quit and run home to mama. Not a good career move to leave the hottest rock act touring right now. Pansy boy waster wanna bes. Is ”Jet” busy?

  • Renegabe, are you on drugs? GnR WERE the hottest act maybe 15 years ago but not anymore. Who cares, it’s not even like it’s Guns N’Roses, it’s Axl Rose trying to get back what he threw away years ago.

  • Lisa, I just saw the GNR two weeks ago and they were outstanding. You have no idea how good this lineup is until you see it. What other ROCK BAND is out there getting rave reviews, besides the creaky Stones? No one. Axl is in great form and his 3 guitar lineup consists of very serious players. Go see them and then accuse me of being chemically impaired. I AM impaired, but its an organic malady.

  • Wow. I mean really, wow. Horrible fact checking guys. Eagles didn’t quit, they got the boot. Axl announced this from the stage during the show - ”This is the last show they’ll be doing with us.” There’s clips of this on YouTube. How hard is it to fact check, really? They sucked, were booed, and got the boot, rightfully so. If the fans hate them, why keep them? Also. GNR was great, I saw them last week. Excellent show.

  • unfortunately there is NO competition these days for gunner’s position. they are the hottest act. who are the eagles of death metal anyway? hahahahaha really though, axl asked for it so he should’ve just shut up and waved goodbye quietly. if not out of respect at least so he doesn tlook like a little puppet of his crowd.
