Some NSFW language.
To: TigerClaws
It would seem the terrorists were only trying to appeal to the audience.
They might even have thought it was part of the act.

It’s my understanding that this band had just begun playing the tune ‘Kiss The Devil’ when the gunfire broke out.
Coincidence?
I think not.

I agree. I understand that there was a crowd photo where everyone was giving the “devil” hand sign.
Also look at the name of the band “EAGLES of death”. For me that is a warning that the United States is on the verge of dying. Eagle is a symbol of our nation, is God trying to tell us something?
To: TigerClaws
They sound like decent, heartfelt, caring, and honorable men.
Should they play a venue near me I will make it a point to attend their show.

I agree. I understand that there was a crowd photo where everyone was giving the âdevilâ hand sign.The "Devil sign" was popularized by Ronnie James Dio when he took over as the lead singer for Black Sabbath after the departure of Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy used to flash a peace sign during concerts and Ronnie wanted to keep some continuity in the show without it looking like he was just trying to be an Osbourne clone. He borrowed the hand sign from his Italian Grandmother where using it to ward off Malocchio, the evil eye, was commonly used. So it became popular basically because it was easy to do and looked cool to the audience. The only connection to Satan was made by people who were totally clueless but wanted to find a way to disparage a type of music they didn't like.

Ronnie James Dio was also one of the nicest people ever to hold a microphone. Complete gentleman and legendary vocalist.

“Also look at the name of the band âEAGLES of deathâ. For me that is a warning that the United States is on the verge of dying.”
I think it is a spoof on the country rock band “The Eagles” who are roundly hated by metal types.

Wiping away tears. Horrific for all, and I feel that survivors’ guilt or responsibility in their hearts - - not logical of course but humans tend to blame themselves, and they must feel like the reason the people were killed and wounded was because they were fans. Very sad and touching.

Wherever we(govt)perform, death and chaos follow.
Benghazi for example. Syria.
The fans flashing the devil sign are the pro govt people.
This is just a weird thing that just popped into my head when I read your post.
The world is burning.
I’m not blaming America or the military.
Our government issues the orders and mucks it all up with lies and obfuscation so nobody really knows whats going on.
Or maybe it’s just business as usual muslims gone wild.
Could be a mixture of both.

Um.... Their band name is a joke. One of them said they would be a death metal band, and the other said, “Yeah, the Eagles of death metal!” The Eagles band being a lighter, mellow per version of rock.

Nothing like the sudden conversion of a liberal who’s been mugged on the street. I predict all of these creeps will have concealed weapons permits in their wallets in no time flat and matching KelTecs to go with them.

A variation of that story is, Ozzy did, in fact, originate it, and Ace Frehley of KISS picked up on it and made it even more popular. Ozzy admonished him not to use it due to all of the flak he was getting, but Ace kept it up. Then again, that's Ace's side of the story, and he's spent most of the last 40-odd years either too drunk or too stoned to unzip his fly when he pees, so take that as you will. LOL

Now the facts. The lead singer of the band is a Republican. Used to write speeches for the South Carolina Republican party before he was in the band. He probably already has a concealed weapons permit since he has been a big gun guy most of his life. He has stated in interviews that he owns a lot of guns. As a Rock guy, he is more Ted Nugent than a Liberal.
