Eagles of Death Metal's Jesse "The Devil" Hughes talks to the NME about the dustup with Axl Rose:
"Then when he called us The Pigeons Of Shit Metal, Tommy Stinson, their bass player took his bass off and goes: 'Fuck you, that's it'. And then he threw his bass down. But then Axl picked up his bass and fucking threw it at him dude. It was a fucking circus up there.
"By the end of the night that guy [Rose] had caused a giant uproar," said Hughes. "It was like a total mutiny on the part of his band and everyone. I could hear screaming in the dressing room, 'Those are our friends and you've insulted our friends'. Then at 4am in the morning our tour manager gets a phone call which essentially amounted to: 'Axl's thought about it, he thought you guys were a band getting shoved on his tour from the label. He's really sorry and you're more than welcome to finish the tour'.
"When my manager told me that, I just said, 'You can tell that motherfucker to go and fuck himself because I will never go through that again'."
This is great. There's really only one way to solve this feud: bare-knuckles fisticuffs between Axl and the Devil. I would happily fork over the $50 pay-per-view to see Axl gets his ass whooped by a dude with a handlebar mustache.

The only person who could ever be allowed to throw Tommy Stinsons' bass at him was the late Bob Stinson, and then only when if was stinking drunk.
