If you like your guitar licks tasty and your innuendo unnervingly easy to get, boy, have we got the news story for you. Eagles of Death Metal-- hard-rockin' homeboys Jesse Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age frontguy Josh Homme-- are back with a new LP they're calling Heart On. You see, because...well, anyway, you see. The Eagles get a little help this time out from Distillers frontwoman (and Homme's wife) Brody Dalle and tattoo artist from the telly Kat Von D, among others. Heart On is due October 28 from Downtown Recordings.

Jesse Hughes certainly has a Heart On the brain at the moment, as evidenced by his recent trip to Denny's to craft his entry in the lousy restaurant chain's late night Rockstar Menu promotion. In a series of videos posted to Denny's YouTube channel, Hughes mugs for the camera while letting a rather competent chef-- I bet he works in the corporate office most days-- take the reigns to help Hughes craft "Heart on a Plate", a mélange of heart-shaped pancakes topped with raspberry goo, hot fudge, strawberries, white chocolate chips, and whipped cream. See:



In another video, Hughes also crafts some kind of heart-shaped sandwich with eggs, bacon, and cheesy hash browns that apparently didn't make it on the menu, because it would kill us all. "Heart on a Plate", along with hangover-eradicating selections from Taking Back Sunday, Plain White T's, and the All-American Rejects, is available from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. at your local Denny's.

The Eagles will set off this weekend on a co-headlining tour with the Hives. Expect strutting. Lots and lots of strutting.
