[edit] Overview

This is the fourth installment of the Desert Sessions series, a side project of Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme.

"The Eagles of Death Metal" (Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes, Loo Balls, Carlo Von Sexron, Craig Armstrong and T. Fresh) performed "The Gosso King Of Crater Lake", "Hogleg" and "You Keep On Talkin'". The Eagles of Death Metal has since become a real band centered around Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes guitars and singing instead of Loo Balls vocals. Also, it should be noted that 'Carlo Von Sexron' is in fact, one of Josh Homme's monikers. He is also known to record drums and/or bass guitar for EODM to this day, though he doesn't tour with them.

"The Green Monarchs" (Alfredo Hernández, Larry Lalli, Mario Lalli, Josh Homme, Chris Goss, Boomer, Nick Oliveri, Tony Tornay) performed "Monster In The Parasol", "Jr. High Love" and "Eccentric Man".
