Jesse "The Devil" Hughes (born September 24 1972) is an American musician from Greenville, South Carolina. Hughes is known for his role as frontman of the California-based rock band, Eagles of Death Metal. He cites Little Richard as his biggest musical influence and inspiration.[1]

[edit] Early life

At age 7, Hughes' mother, Jo Ellen, moved him to Palm Desert, California. In high school, Hughes became friends with Josh Homme (later of Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age). They became good friends after Josh Homme stopped a bully from picking on Hughes. Hughes graduated from the Greenville Technical College with a degree in journalism and worked as manager of a Video Depot in the Palm Desert for several years.

[edit] Politics

Hughes worked as a speechwriter and activist for the Republican Party.[1][2][3] He worked for former Congressman Sonny Bono.[4] He remains a devoted Republican, and has called President Barack Obama a "communist".[5] In an interview with Altitude TV, Hughes said, regarding the 2008 presidential election, "I would never vote for Obama. Not in a million years." He called Obama a "talking head" who has behind him a machine that "understands the sophistication of media." He added: "I want my money and my guns. And I don't want anyone to tell me what to do. I don't like people who offer me free lunch, or all-you-can-drink lemonade, because nine times out of 10 you vote for them and they give you a glass and pour a little bit in the bottom and go, 'That's all you can drink.' "[6]

Hughes is a registered member of the National Rifle Association, but claims not to hunt for he believes it isn't fair - "I don't like hunting because they can't shoot back."[7].

[edit] Eagles of Death Metal
Main article: Eagles of Death Metal

Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme formed Eagles of Death Metal in 1998. Hughes credits Homme with saving his life, claiming that during the recording of the second Eagles of Death Metal album Death By Sexy, he fell into serious drug addiction and that Homme not only drove him to rehab, but paid for it as well.[8]

[edit] Pseudonyms

Hughes is known to go by many different nicknames, including "J. Devil" (or simply "The Devil")[9] as well as "Boots Electric" ("Boots" for short) and "Fabulous Weapon" (both of which were band names used by Hughes' father). In an interview[10] Hughes revealed that his band mate Josh Homme gave him "The Devil" nickname when he was thirteen. "I used to get picked on a lot," says Hughes, "And when I would get picked on severely, or if it really made a point to me, I would get vengeance, but I would get vengeance in the way that I could, which was mostly clever and all consuming. Joshua once witnessed me in the moment I was about to enact vengeance upon someone, and he just said, 'You're the fucking devil dude,' and it stuck."

Hughes is currently endorsed by Maton guitars[11] and Orange amplifiers.[12]

1/18/2010 3:21:49 AM

^x6 It's Kip Winger. And some people think Winger sucks for no other reason than Beavis and Butt-Head told them so.

I lived through the era at issue and I can tell you that Winger's technical proficiency was better than much of their genre. Furthermore, I have been a drummer for many years, and I will stack Rod Morgenstein's abilities up against those of Metallica's Lars Ulrich--another Winger critic--any day of the week.

Lars Ulrich is not a great drummer by any stretch of the imagination, so his opinion can go right out the window.

As for Kip Winger, all the technical proficiency in the world can't make up for woeful songwriting.

1/18/2010 6:55:35 AM

^ It was as good as or better than much of their genre. If you don't like the genre, that's a different issue.

[Edited on January 18, 2010 at 7:25 AM. Reason : And who do you consider to be a "great drummer"--in the genre at issue--so I can get a yardstick.]

1/18/2010 7:23:50 AM

Lombardo

1/18/2010 7:43:18 AM

^ He's great, but it explains the Lars hate thing--I mean, Lars does what he does well. But he's no Rod Morgenstein--and he's no Dave Lombardo, for that matter.
