In a recent phone interview with LA.Weekly.com, when asked "I know you get this all the time, but what’s with the band name?" Josh Homme replied by saying, "We were four grown men in a completely dark VW bus listening to Vader, the metal band. And we were all a little bit out of our heads, and I started laughing because it takes such a commitment to play death metal. You really gotta go for it. We said we should play death metal, but it should be like the Eagles of death metal. Then Jesse spit graham crackers all over me cause he was laughing so hard." Just thought I would bring that to everyones attention. Thanks for listening, J
If you can verify this we can add it to the article PrettyMuchBryce 08:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
http://www.laweekly.com/music/music/live-sexy-love-sexy-rock-sexy/13020/ is the site where the interview took place. However, I just remembered, keep in mind that Josh Homme does have a notorious reputation for misleading the media at times. J

Wikipedia is not a fan forum, you idiots. [citation needed]
[edit] Band Member Names
I took out band nicknames because of the incredible number of vandalism being submitted. Joke names, etc. Tentonbricks 02:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, any word on when Joey Castillo drummed with them? We can't have the band forming in 1998 and then later in the article say that Joey drummed for them in 1994, especially since in 1998 they didn't even have a drummer yet - just a CD player with drum beats.

[edit] Amazing band
Eagles are one of the few bands that I like, that nobody I know has heard of, I ask my friends and they are like, who?
FYI Wikipeida discussion pages are for discussing changes that you think need to be made to the article, not for general chatter about the band. 144.124.16.28 21:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC) ~ How is this alternative metal??? Burnthewitch 11:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Anything related to Macintosh: vandalism?

[edit] Help Citing
I just added the comment regarding the new album title. Unfortunately, I do not know how to cite the origin of the fact. The website/interview that I got it from is http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/10/15/queens-of-the-stone-age-six-pack/# . The title of the new album is the second or third thing mentioned in the video interview. It would be very helpful if someone with more Wikipedia experience could assist in the citation. Thanks.
