EAGLES OF DEATH METAL Front Of House Audio Tech SHAWN LONDON Recounts Terrorist Attack At Paris Show - "When People Started Dropping I Could See Two Gunmen Firing Randomly..."

JimOnLight.com has checked in with a special report in the aftermath of the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13th:

"We’re honored to have a life-changing video to share.  I wish it were about something cool like Rate masters or inhibitive submasters used to protect certain parts of your effects live, but no…

This is Shawn London.  Shawn reached out to us here to tell his story of the coward Daesh attack on Paris, he was mixing audio at FOH when these assholes came into the venue and started killing people.  Once you watch this video, once you hear how Shawn was shot at several times, how he had to hear the pleas of people being purely executed, and how he got out while saving a life or two beyond his own…  you may have a change in heart in the way you do things.

These assholes blocked the exits. They were executing people trying to escape. Shawn will explain to you all of this, please watch his frankly horrifying account while standing behind a Midas Verona at the Le Bataclan when the bullets started flying."

VICE.com has uploaded the full interview with Eagles Of Death Metal discussing the Paris terrorist attack on Friday, November 13 during their concert at the Bataclan.

 

A documentary about the Eagles Of Death Metal has been pulled from the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam, reports BBC.com.

Screenings have been cancelled of The Redemption Of The Devil, which follows band frontman Jesse Hughes in the build up to the release of their new album.

Gunmen killed 89 people at the band's gig at the Bataclan concert hall in the Paris attacks. The band escaped, but members of their crew and record company were killed.

The documentary, made by director Alex Hoffman, follows the band's charismatic, hard-living frontman as he hits 40, becomes ordained as a Catholic minister and ponders a future in politics. The BBC understands it was pulled because the timing felt inappropriate.

Earlier this week the band issued their first statement about the attack and said they were "bonded in grief with the victims, the fans... and all those affected by terrorism". They said they were "horrified and still trying to come to terms with what happened in France" and all shows were on hold until further notice.
