Despite the name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. Hughes says the name came from a response to a drunken man, who argued Poison were death metal. Hughes retorted that Poison were "the Eagles of death metal". Later, Josh Homme inspired him to write music that he thought would be The Eagles crossed with death metal, and their debut album was the result. In a 2003 interview, Homme described the sound of the band as a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals".
