More about: Eagles of Death MetalQueens of the Stone Age

"Have you ever heard of the porn star John Holmes?," Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse 'Boots Electric' Hughes boldy asks Gigwise. We don't believe we've had the pleasure. "He was the biggest dick in pornography - he had like a 12 inch dick. The feel of this album is like John Holmes but with a bigger dick."

And that's the spirit of Eagles Of Death Metal - cut the crap, drop your pants and let the good times roll. It comes as no surprise that their long-awaited new album is called Zipper Down. The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman and one half of Eagles Of Death Metal Josh 'Baby Duck' Homme chips in: "I think it's kinda the mantra of the record: 'drop the hang-ups and get with the programme'. Eagles is like a fun VD - it's fun, contageous and everyone's getting it."

Boots continues: "You don't want a penicilin shot for what you're getting, you know what I mean? you're going to want to keep it...if you bend George Clinton over, using Keith Richards as a dick and Little Richard as the balls - that's what it would sound like."

Watch below as Hughes and Homme talk to Gigwise about what makes them want to work together, their hunger to 'have a good time', how their 'cross-dressing, moustache sporting' fans are 'up for anything' and how they strive to play like 'good lovers'.
