Jesse “the Devil” Hughes On Axl Rose: “Like any other Guns N’ Roses fan, I find Axl to be really insulting. He cost a lot of people their jobs, a lot of heartache and probably some mental breakdowns while he fucked around on a record [Chinese Democracy] for 16 fucking years–just because he wanted to be a dick. I firmly believe that the gods of rock ‘n’ roll just chose me to kick him out of the gang for gross misuse of power. Axl still has the opportunity to do something that no one expects him to do, which is something cool. I honestly think he can do it, but first, he really needs to control himself a bit, and most importantly, get a real friend.”
Jesse’s band Eagles of Death Metal are on tour and headlined a show at Webster Hall in NYC last night (8/6). As you can see in the pictures below, someone in the crowd brought him a Gn’R t-shirt as a gift. Another possibly-meant-to-be-funny moment came when Jesse dedicated “Kiss The Devil” to the Butthole Surfers (whose 2008 show at the same venue ended infamously). Full EODM setlist below.
Rival Schools were the opener, and it wasn’t the first time Walter Schreifels shared a NYC bill with the sort-of-QOTSA off-shoot. More pictures and setlists below…
