1. Let's explain the band name S.A.T.-prep style. Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes are to death metal what Don Henley is to rock 'n' roll. But Henley probably has a lot more money (and a lot less leather).
2. The gods of rock summoned Josh and Jesse to their altar in 1998, though the pair has been friends since high school.
3. Baby Duck. Boots Electric. Carlo Von Sexron. J. Devil Huge. What do these bizarre names have in common? They're all aliases used by Josh and Jesse.
4. They have ruling song titles: 'Shasta Beast,' 'Bag O' Miracles,' 'Poor Doggie,' etc.
5. They have no qualms about selling to their songs for use in commercials and have done just that for Wendy's, Nissan, Pontiac and Payless Shoes.
