Mr. Reeses Pieces 163 Posted November 13, 2015 http://www.avclub.com/article/dozens-taken-hostage-eagles-death-metal-show-amid--228400 Eagles of Death Metal band members escaped OK, but it sounds like many, many audience members were taken hostage and then shot. The police are entering the concert venue and reporting bodies. Share this post Link to post
Darbler Cheesegarbler 1110 Posted November 14, 2015 This is just insane, I came here to say the same thing. I'm glad they are OK, this is horrible. Share this post Link to post
justinmh05 1968 Posted November 14, 2015 LA Weekly says one member of the band or crew is dead, sadly. http://www.laweekly.com/music/update-conflicting-reports-regarding-the-status-of-all-eagles-of-death-metal-members-in-paris-6277122 It looks like Jesse escaped, and Josh wasn't there at all.

Mr. Reeses Pieces 163 Posted November 14, 2015 Latest update: EODM tour canceled, band and crew are coming home. Another European tour will be planned later. 1-2 members of the crew may still be missing, it's hard to get accurate info. As for the audience...what happened there is a horror. Thanks to this ep of CBB, if I lived in Paris, I'd have been at that concert. So, so sad. It looks like Jesse escaped, and Josh wasn't there at all. Josh plays on the albums but not on tours. 1 Share this post Link to post
zoankkambie 887 Posted November 14, 2015 Crazy enough, Brian Williams talked about them appearing on CBB during reporting about the terrorist attacks: https://vid.me/9iMx (video taken from reddit) Share this post Link to post
Kickpuncher 5012 Posted November 14, 2015 Crazy enough, Brian Williams talked about them appearing on CBB during reporting about the terrorist attacks: https://vid.me/9iMx (video taken from reddit) That's especially weird in that it seems like Williams just knew that and was bringing it up spontaneously. Even weirder - Two bands directly impacted by this (EODM and U2) have both appeared on Earwolf shows recently. Share this post Link to post
Mr. Reeses Pieces 163 Posted November 15, 2015 Crazy enough, Brian Williams talked about them appearing on CBB during reporting about the terrorist attacks: https://vid.me/9iMx (video taken from reddit) It's very, very weird hearing the name "Comedy Bang Bang" spoken by somebody who is using a Super Serious Voice. 1 Share this post Link to post
myhandleonearwolf 62 Posted November 16, 2015 The fuck? Did some intern just post "they were on an episode of Comedy Bang Bang with Colin Hanks" to a Slack chat that Brian was reading out loud? Share this post Link to post
