Eagles Of Death Metal joined onstage by punk legend

Eagles Of Death Metal were joined onstage in London by 's drummer Rat Scabies last night (April 8) as they tackled a classic by the punk outfit.

The drummer made a guest appearance at the HMV London Forum on the last night of the band's UK tour - playing on a cover of his band's 1976 debut single 'New Rose', widely considered to be the UK's first punk release.

Introducing Scabies, frontman Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes said: "One thing I love about playing in London is you can play with your friends too. Everybody, Rat Scabies."

The track was one of a series of covers featured in the set, along with Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck In The Middle With You', which famously featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1972 film 'Reservoir Dogs', as well as The Rolling Stones' 1971 classic 'Brown Sugar', reports BBC 6 Music.

The band also played a host of tracks from their 2008 album 'Heart On' including 'Prissy Prancing', which saw Hughes duet with Kim 'Koko Bubbles'.

Eagles of Death Metal Proficient in Rock

Jesse Hughes of Eagles Of Death metal has been making time to have some fun with Belgian rockers Black Box Revelation while they accompany the band on their current tour through Europe. Typical of true rock abandon, Hughes has been stripping down to his pink underwear with the band.

The Eagles Of Death Metal singer posed with the Belgian duo backstage at the Cologne Essigfabrik on March 4th. Black Box Revelation revealed that they'd been enjoying a wild time under Hughes' auspices.

"It's so wicked to be on the road with the Eagles," guitarist Jan Paternoster remarked to NME.COM. "Different city every day, and never stopping rockin'. I don't even know where we are today!"
