Eagles of Death Metal want to be 1st to play Bataclan music hall after Paris attacks
'Our friends went there to see rock and roll and died. I'm going to go back there and live'
Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes says he wants his band to be the first to play in the Bataclan nightclub in Paris when it re-opens.
Hughes told Vice, "Our friends went there to see rock and roll and died. I'm going to go back there and live."
Three gunmen killed 89 people in the club during the Eagles of Death Metal show on Nov. 13.

Hughes broke down during the interview, saying he felt so guilty for leaving his bandmates on stage.
Bassist Matt McJunkins said he was trapped in a room near the stage with some fans with only a champagne bottle as a weapon, and the room started flooding.
Bandmate Josh Homme was not touring with the band and was in Los Angeles at the time.
Homme said they plan to finish the tour. He encouraged any music act to cover their song I Love You All The Time and the band will donate all proceeds from the sales to the victims.
