Name Origin:
Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. Hughes stated that a friend was introducing Josh Homme to the death metal genre. When he played a song by the Polish band
Vader and made a claim that the song was within the death metal genre, Homme then referred to Vader as "The Eagles of Death Metal".
After hearing this phrase, he wondered what a cross between
The Eagles and a death metal band would sound like.
