A California rock band was the headliner at a Paris concert hall Friday where death and horror unfolded during coordinated terror attacks in the French capital.
Jesse "Boots Electric" Hughes, one half of the leading duo of the hard-rock group Eagles of Death Metal, is believed to have been in the Bataclan concert hall when terrorists stormed in.

Bataclan theater long a target of anti-Zionist groups, report says
Eagles of Death Metal, the US band performing at theater when the attacks began, played in Tel Aviv’s Barby club in July
November 14, 2015, 1:30 pm
French magazine Le Point said early Saturday that the Bataclan theater, targeted in Friday night’s Paris terror attacks, has for years been the target of anti-Zionist groups as its Jewish owners often put on pro-Israel events.

Witnesses describe attack at music venue during which concertgoers taken hostage
14 November 2015
More than 1,000 fans had gathered at this popular venue for a concert by California group Eagles of Death Metal. The band had been on the stage for an hour and the music was loud. Heavy metal loud. Not loud enough, however, to mask the sound of gunfire.
Just after midnight, French special forces launched an assault on the Bataclan in an attempt to free the hostages. There were bursts of gunfire and several explosions. At 1am, police announced the operation was over and three gunmen had been killed. French media reported that as many as 70 people had been killed inside the club.
“Two or three men, without masks, came in with Kalashnikov-type automatic weapons and began shooting blindly at the crowd ... it lasted 10, 15 minutes. It was extremely violent and there was a wave of panic.
“Everyone was running in all directions towards the stage. It was a stampede and even I was trampled. I saw a lot of people hit by bullets. The gunmen had loads of time to reload at least three times. They weren’t masked, they knew what they were doing, they were very young.”
Pierce said the attackers had “not said a word”, but other witnesses spoke of hearing the gunmen shout: “This is for Syria.”

Paris Bataclan Theater Received Threats Over Pro-Israel Events Before the Attacks

(JTA) - Before Friday’s bloodbath at Paris’s Le Bataclan concert venue, this centrally-located hall from the 19th century had received numerous threats over pro-Israel events hosted there.
In 2006-2009 at leat, Le Bataclan hosted the annual fundraising gala of the French Jewish Migdal nonprofit group for the Israeli Border Police. Last month, it hosted a gathering of some 500 Zionist Christians who came there in support of the Jewish state.
In one case involving threats against Le Bataclan, a group of approximately 10 men wearing Arab keffiyehs over their faces arrived in December 2008 at the theater, demanding to speak to management.
“This is something we cannot continue to accept,” one of the men from the group was filmed telling the security guards outside Le Bataclan. “You will pay the consequences of your actions,” the same person, his voice electronically distorted, told the camera after the confrontation, which ended peacefully. “We came here to pass along a small message. Be warned. Next time we won’t be coming here to talk.”

The specific event targeted this evening also had a known Israel connection. The southern-California band Eagles of Death Metal performed in Israel this past summer, despite public efforts led by former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters to convince them not to. According to YNet (http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4725208,00.html), the band resisted the call vigorously, with guitarist Jesse Hughes claiming to have answered Waters “F– you.”
