During the live performance of "Speaking in Tongues" on the Conan O'Brien show on July 4, 2004, Eagles of Death Metal were riding high on the momentum of their debut album, "Peace, Love, Death Metal," which had been released earlier that year. The band, known for its unique blend of hard rock and garage rock influences, showcased their playful yet powerful style during this performance, with founder Jesse Hughes and renowned musician Josh Homme, who played drums for this live recording. "Peace, Love, Death Metal," characterized by its raw energy and catchy riffs, helped establish the band’s presence in the rock scene. One interesting aspect of this performance is the synergy between Hughes and Homme, highlighting Homme's versatility as a musician beyond his work with Queens of the Stone Age. This moment on national television marked an important step in the band’s rise to prominence in the early 2000s rock revival.
