It leans heavier toward DD’s original, but is still punched up by Hughes and his gang.

Eagles of Death Metal is the rock n roll side project of Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and singer/guitarist Jesse Hughes. Side note: In my research, here’s a video of both EoDM and Duran Duran performing “Save a Prayer” on late night TV. It isn’t the best of EoDM’s cover efforts, nor is it the best Duran Duran cover period, but Hughes’ bunch do a serviceable job translating the classic 80s synth-rock jam into the 21st century. Their cover of the Duran Duran classic Save a Prayer, has an eerie QOTSA vibe to it, almost like it was a rejected cut from the Era Vulgaris sessions, and sees Hughes arguably, put in his most subdued and emotional vocal performance to date, backed up by Hommes trademark falsetto wails. It became Duran Durans biggest hit on the UK Singles Chart, reaching number two, held out of the top spot by Survivors 'Eye of the Tiger'. The song was the third single taken from their second album Rio.
But their rendition gets high marks for punching up the energy of the song with distorted guitars and a quick drumline, which speeds the tempo up and takes the original, which at 6 minutes can get a little tiresome, and charges through at a quicker, but respectable pace. Am F D Bb G Bm Gb Dm Gm Chords for Eagles of Death Metal - Save A Prayer with song key, BPM, capo transposer, play along with guitar, piano, ukulele & mandolin. 'Save a Prayer' is the sixth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 9 August 1982. Removing the skronk provided by the keys reduces the nuance of the song, and Hughes is hardly on Le Bon’s level vocally. They’ve tackled classic jams before, and their take on Duran Duran’s hit takes the foundation, shakes off the gooey synth, and hammers guitars and a raucous drumline in its place. It stands a high mark for one the 80′s most successful acts.Įagles of Death Metal come from a garage in the California desert, led by guitarist/vocalist Jesse Hughes. With multiple layers of keys and a powerful synthesizer loop, it creates a reserved if not dour atmosphere for Simon Le Bon’s sterling voice to surf through, cutting the bleakness of the instrumentation with a sharp vocal line. Rio was there most touted effort, and one of the signature tracks was a slow burning synth-ballad called “Save a Prayer”. The wonky, synth driven sound of the 80s started to take off in 1982, particularly with the rise of Pet Shop Boys, Spandau Ballet, and Duran Duran birthing the rise of the “new romantics” era of rock music.
