Even if Jesse Hughes says that this will be “a normal rock concert”, where everyone will “fun”, we know that the leader and guitarist of Eagles of Death Metal (EODM) does not believe that the action that will on Tuesday evening in Paris will be like the others that come populating this world tour of the north American band.
Tonight, the famous room of Olympia, the band founded Hughes and his friend Josh Homme will somehow try to exorcise the tragic night of 13 last November, when the middle of the concert they were doing at the Bataclan a terrorist attack caused the death of 90 spectators, together with concerted action elsewhere the 11th district of Paris, where perish four dozen people.
the concert at the Olympia will be a “therapy” for himself admits Jesse Hughes, told AFP. And the same may happen to the hundreds of survivors and relatives of victims of attacks claimed by the self-proclaimed Islamic State who accept the invitation to the show. It is not known yet if the room will fill, since the production decided to favor all those who, directly or indirectly lived the tragic moments of the night and its consequences.
“For many, it will be a decision last minute, “says AFP Alexis, Life member of the association for Paris, which brings together about 500 survivors of the attacks in the French capital. “There are people for whom this is important part of the reconstruction process, but there are also many people for whom it is too early, or you do not feel in a position” to cope with the situation, adds Alexis. And the AFP quotes the testimony of Clotilde, a habitual frequenter and Bataclan fan, who said he was still “shocked” with the lived experience and not wanting to travel to Olympia, despite receiving invitation, and to know that the concert will be surrounded by careful security measures.
According to the Paris City Hall, in the street and on the sidewalks by the performances of home will be created a security perimeter, which will avoid not only the traffic and the parking of vehicles, but also pedestrians in addition to those who have invitations or concert tickets.
the security plan for the performance of EODM also includes a team of three dozen workers, including several psychologists that can support the spectators, that in these cases, always run the risk of reliving the traumatic night of November 13, says Carole Damiani, a psychologist and director of the Parisian association Victim support.
About the concert itself said, and return to Paris, Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme unfolded on interviews with bodies of French media, not hiding the particular emotion that the show is going to take.
journal Le Monde , Josh Homme – the founder of the band that was not present in the activities of November but has now question meet Hughes, his childhood friend, and the other band members – said, for example that the concert could not start with the resumption of Kiss the devil , the song that EODM played at the moment when the terrorists started firing at the Bataclan. “We can not play Kiss the devil . We do not know where you are now this song, and we have no reason to go looking for it. But the truth is that we also asked us not to play. And a person who does not want to hear it has much more to us than a hundred of them who might want that’ll touch, “explained drummer.
In the interviews concert pretext for Tuesday night, Jesse Hughes reaffirmed the TV station iTele its position well known for advocating the use of firearms, noting that the November 13 attack came only prove the need to ensure “universal access to firearms” to all citizens, whether they live in France, the United States or elsewhere in the world.
in an interview with Le Monde , Hughes stressed that the events of Paris came not change your thinking about this question. But when the reporter noted the statements by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to the American presidential elections – that said always bring a can weapon, and that, if at the Bataclan, would open fire on the attackers – Josh Homme is demarcated considering -the absurd. “Yes. [What Trump said is] absurd. ” “But we’re not here to do politics; we are here for what makes France formidable: arts and culture, which here have a place in your life every day, “added drummer
