Interview with news siteVICEThe founder of Shane Smith made it.


Shane Smith (Smith):
First of all, I will review from the beginning what happened. During the concert, three men came in and began shooting guns?


Eden Garindo (guitarist. Garindo):
At first I thought it was the sound of a speaker, but I soon noticed "different".


This is the actual picture. The sound of Bang Bang resonates with the music in the venue, and the bandmen who were in the stage lowered their bodies and turned to the back stage.


Galindo:
When Jessie understood something, Jesse came running to me and said he would gather at the corner of the stage. I did not know what they are targeting us or what is going on.

One of the staff who saw the sniper replacing the cartridge of the gun shouted "We are going to move!" We escaped from the stage. I tried to move up the stairs to the upper floor, but the staff found a person with a gun on the upper floor.


Smith:
How did you get away from that state?

Galindo:
I went out of the emergency exit again by going down the stairs again. It was a small alley but the fans' children saw us and helped us. "Here it is!"


Smith:
I am sorry if I made a mistake. Matt, you were trapped in the room with your fans, were not you?


Matt · McJean Kings (base & vocal, hereafter, McJean Kings):
Yes. When the shoot began, I threw the base and hid behind the curtain and the monitor desk. Then the customers came up to the stage and came to me. Our manager says Steve, but he also came and looked at the face. Because there was no exit there. So I tried to explain it to everyone.


Smith:
Did you run and ran away?

McJean Kings:
Everyone ran away and ran away. Instinctively. A shooting took place from where I could see, and I saw a blink of light and flickering. In choosing whether to get off the stage to escape or to escape to the room, I escaped to the room while praying, and a lot of people were helping in the room. Some people were shot and shedding blood. Using chairs to make barricades on the door ... .... There was a refrigerator and a bottle of champagne in the room, but have it.


Smith:
As a weapon?

McJean Kings:
That's right. Because there was nothing else.

The woman who was in front of me was shooting his foot and shedding blood, so that men and her friends oppressed her feet so that she could ease it.


McJean Kings:
It started again when the sound ceased a little after being heard until the sound of the shooting sound soon followed by 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Then the explosion came to the room. Perhaps, I think that the whole building shook. At that time, I did not know if someone had blown away the room. But later I knew it was an explosion when a shooter suicide bombed.


Smith:
Julian, what were you seeing playing the drums?

Julian Dorio (drummer, Dorio):
At the beginning was a shock. The first sound of shooting was very powerful and I immediately understood that something bad happened. As I got off the chair almost reflexively and I was watching from the drum and amp, the second round started soon. As I saw a shooter start shooting the audience, I lowered my body, passed behind the drum riser and ran to the right side of the stage. When I arrived on the other side of the stage, as Eden said as we said earlier everyone ran away from the door, I stood up and followed them.


Smith:
Jessie, you were looking for a lover's tuesday, are not you? What happened to you?

A woman in the photo is Mr. Tuesday Cross of a lover.


Jesse Hughes (vocal, hereafter, Hughes):
I ran away to a dressing room. But when I opened the door, there was no Tuesday, so when I left the corridor again, there was a sniper. The sniper turned to me and tried to take the gun on my back, but the gun caught on the door frame and I could not do it. So I turned the direction. I knew that everyone was following me, so I came back the way I said "Do not come here!"

I arrived at the emergency exit, but I could not find the tuesday ... .... Julian said "What are you doing, let's go early," but I did not know what to do. But I heard the voice of Tuesday who found Julian and I understood her safety. When going out, everyone was making a row like a drive-through, so he shouted "Run!" I did not know what everyone should do.


Smith:
David, you were outside the stage, are not you?

David · Catching (drum, hereinafter David):
As usual I was in the middle of the floor, but at this time I was in the back of the room, the door. When the concert started, everyone laughed and danced, sang along and enjoyed. It was very impressive, but suddenly I heard noise from somewhere. I thought that someone used firecrackers right behind me.


Smith:
Is that a shoot hit behind you?

David:
Exactly. They came through the door and they began shooting randomly. People who fled to the ground and injured or killed can escape. But there was no place to escape. They came to me. I tried to shoot at my side, but the bullets hit the console, the buttons scattered around here and there. There I fell on the ground in the way of the gunfired wind. People were shot and bleeding here and there. The shooter continued to shoot the gun and was shouting "Allahu akbar" (Allah greats are great). So I understood what happened.

In front of me the woman was shouting at the chest and leg shouting and telling her to keep her quiet so as not to collect their attention.

Smith:
How did you get away?

David:
The gunfire stopped in order to fill the bullets. He tried to take bullets out of the backpack and cried out, "I'm loading bullets, I will go!" Me and six people around me jumped out of the ground and ran away from the right side of the room. As the shooter who finished loading bullets began shooting again, we lowered the body again and waited for the loading of the gun again and it started moving.

When I was pushing a girl who was shocked and pushing a girl who was out of motion, I heard the bullet hit the walls and the door. They shooted here. I tried to push the glass door, but before that the bullet hit and the door crumbled away. I got out of the crushed door, jumped over the falling body and ran away.


Smith:
Those who ran away from the venue headed to the police. So what did you do, who called you?


fuse:
I called the Josh. When something goes wrong, we always contact Josh. And ... I ceased to worry about something I do not know well.


Galindo:
When we arrived at the police, there was chaos. The children were full of blood and the news still did not flow, I did not know what was going on. I got information from people who read news articles on mobile phones. After calling Josh ......


Here, the fuse sits "I'm calling Josh."


Image male is the band's founder and drummer Josh Homme.


Smith:
Josh, you made this band in 1998, are not you? I think that you've received news and emails from band members for a long time ... but what happened at that time? How did you take action?

Josh Homme (co-founder of Eagles, hereafter, Om)
It took a while to catch what actually happened. I have not been in the news yet. Then I went to the tour office right away and ... I did everything I could to do to take them home.


fuse:
I have relied on Josh for everything. I had Matt and Debbie on the stage and I wanted to think that they had nothing. Because I do not have to think about it when Josh is ... .... I hope you understand. I love you. You always support the band.


Two people, Josh Homme and Jessie Hughes, made the Eagles of Death Metal. Mr. Smith interviewed the band for the future aside from the interview with all members of the band.


Smith:
What was the situation when you heard the news?

Homme:
I received a message when I was in the studio, but at the beginning I did not understand the meaning.


Mr. Om showing to Mr. Smith the message actually exchanged is that "everyone was shot", "what?" "They shot everyone and took the hostage."


fuse:
Josh is one of the people who first knew the situation on the phone.

Homme:
I have talked about terrorism as a member of the band so far. Nick · Alexander who protected his friend ... ...


fuse:
He did not want anyone to get hurt, he died while shedding blood.


Talk of people who survived from the same venue here. A woman who was in the venue with a boyfriend seemed to be hiding on the left side of the stage for a period of about an hour while asking "not to be found by homicide demons". The bomb exploded next to them but it was able to escape the explosion thanks to the trunk. The woman is supposed to be "thanks to the band that she was saved."


fuse:
Several people hid in our dressing room, but the murderers came into the dressing room and everyone except the children hiding in my leather jacket was killed.

Smith:
Murderous demons have come into your dressing room, are not they?

fuse:
Yes. Everyone pretended to be dead with fear. So many people were killed because many people did not abandon their friends. It is because many people protected others.

Josh who wrote the name of those who died while not knowing why, Josh said "I can not believe I want to talk with their parents."


Smith:
What do you want to tell them?

Homme:
I do not know what to say. This is a truly unfortunate event. Take your knees and say "whatever you want" .... There is no word to say, words are not enough. Perhaps it should not say anything.

fuse:
I swear to those who love all rock and roll. Rock 'n' roll is good for me and it is irreplaceable. He also gave me a wonderful friend.

If Adolf Hitler hated him, that would be wonderful. I do not dedicate my life to putting their anger down, I want to spend time trying to make my friends laugh and entertain. I am looking forward to going back to Paris and playing. I would like to return to Paris and I would like to become the first band to play when the Batakuran Theater reopens.


Smith:
Why is that?

fuse:
My friends came to listen to rock 'n' roll and died. I have to go back there and play.

Smith:
Is the tour done until the end?

Homme:
You have to finish the tour until the end. Not just for us and fans, not just for Nick, it is not only the problem of our way of living, but this has crossed political ones,Human natureIt is a problem of.


Smith:
People are showing love and support.


Homme:
I know that everyone is united and united, but to be honest it can not be thought that "something good happens" now. It's an opportunity for everyone to get together, but I think it will take time for people to understand what is happening and what to do.

... ... Do you have a break for about five minutes?


Here the interview switches again to all members.

Smith:
What is the future of Eagles of Death Metal?


fuse:
We cover Duran - Duran 's Save A Prayer,Fans are doing a campaign "Let's make Eagles of Death Metal the UK chart first place", Duran Duran who knew of it announced that it will donate royalties for cover voices of Save a Prayer for the victims.

Homme:
With that, I decided to make a new challenge. There is a song called "I Love You All The Time" in our songs, but I think that I will donate all royalties due to the coverage of this song. Either DJ or a death metal band, anyone can do it. I will donate all the royalties if it covers. Then, we will work on places that are likely to sell covers for iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and I Love You All The Time. Anyway, I'd like to collect something with cover songs and collect something for people who suffered from the shooting incident this time.


Smith:
Is there anything you would like to say to your fans?

Homme:
"Do not move and we will go."


David:
We never forget about our fans. Let's keep on working hard.

fuse:
I love everyone. We will definitely get over and we will work together. I appreciate everything that everyone did for us. I did not think that everyone, especially French people, will do so many things. I am grateful, especially feeling it is with everyone now.


Dorio:
The connection between the live guest and us is special. I am grateful for that and I am looking forward to seeing the fans again.

McJean Kings:
Music is life itself for us, there is no way to quit. But when listening to people's stories, I do not want to quit. We welcome anytime if we have someone who wants to contact. I can play every evening and watch their smile, so I can do it. So I'm going to perform concerts and performances. That's the only reason. We need them.


Garinto:
I appreciate all the fans who gave us a message. Everything is truly amazing and there are so many, so it takes time to reply ... .... Our hearts are with the people of France, victims, and family.

The target of terrorism "Eagles of Death Metal" imagines a metal band when listening to the band name, but in fact this band name is about "Yuzu · of · Death Metal", not a death metal at all , What is attached as a joke. From the article below you can read what bands the Eagles of Death Metal is and what the meaning might be included in terrorism targeting this band venue.

Tomohiro Machiyama) Hey. But, these people. People who came here, to say clearly and listen to a foolish rock are laughing people, so I do not think anyone is highly discriminatory against Muslims or immigrants. not really.

(Tomohiro Machiyama) I knew it was tracked by myself, but on September 17 they are in an interview. Eagles of Death Metal members are interviewing in a magazine called "Rolling Stone" of a rock magazine.

(Akae Tako) Yeah.

(Tomohiro Machiyama) I am saying like this. It is clearly saying "The new album I made is a message to the terror of the Middle East."

(Akae Tako) What?

(Tomohiro Machiyama) "What is going on in the Middle East is very sad. That's why we wanted to make this kind of music more fun for the rest of the world, to quell our anger, to respect women and homosexuals more, and to make each other more fun and gentle with each other. It's time to heal "I am telling you.

(Yamazato Ryota) This, then the terrorists are looking at it, maybe you have the possibility to decide properly targeting here?

(Tomohiro Machiyama) I think there is a possibility. I am. In short, it makes me think that people who are having fun are disgusted people. Those who did it. First of all.
