    Frey and Henley would have been great no matter who made up the Eagles. Two extremely talented guys who fell victim to their success. Not all that uncommon. I just thank God that they left us with some of the greatest music in history.

      Well said. Same for me also. I was a bit too late discovering their music in the early 90s even though I'm a 70s child. These guys created a soundtrack of our youth. Their music will live on and the next generation and the next one after that and so on will enjoy their their beautiful music. Here's a song that comes to mind now lol ... "Sad Cafe".. such a beautiful song. I'm curious.. name the top five of your favorite Eagles' songs from 1972 to "The Long Run" album.

    I recall, decades ago, listening to Art Bell interview Joe Walsh on Coast to Coast. They talked about ham radio (apparently Joe was into it and, of course, Art Bell was passionate about it) up through his time with the Eagles. I recall Joe commenting, calling them "The Egos." He avoided elaborating and did not make disparaging remarks about the rest of the band.

He's a better man than Glen Frey who only thinks he is tough. Meisner, who knew martial arts got into an argument with Frey and poured beer on his head and Frey did nothing about it.

In some ways HC has overshadowed their earlier work, but the success of that original greatest hits record attests to how great it was. Then Joe Walsh joined and they did HC which began a new era for the band. Unfortunately by then all their problems got so bad they only made one more album before breaking up. After they reunited they put out more good music, and subsequent greatest hits collections include songs from their entire career. But that original early greatest hits album never stopped selling and it became the all time biggest seller.

    Writing good songs is often challenging. Writing great songs is often challenging and is also unlikely to achieve. Writing Eagles songs requires almost super human talent, as well as hefty doses of good fortune and luck. The Eagles definitely had the secret blend of eleven herbs and spices.

    the fact that don henley and glen frey tried to stop don felder from publishing his memoir tells you what they tried to hide. That two is power crazy and money crazy and treated the rest like servants and employees when they are equal band members. i've read a few in depth books and interviews about the eagles before coming to the same conclusion everytime. They would control who can sing the songs and whose songs are chosen to be included in the albums so that they can get the bulk of the royalties even though everyone contributed to the success of the songs. Ultimately, it's greed. 1 Timothy 6:10

    Felder was a brilliant guitarist and extremely talented. But it was common knowledge that Fry, and Henley flew the eagles and everyone knew it. But Henley and fry had to prove it even to themselves. Fry went out and did a solo successfully , as well as Henley and both knocked it out of the park. Joe Walsh was already proven when they picked him up of COURSE there not going to respect Felder the same. There solo successes only solidified there past decisions they made. Hell even Timothy B Schmitt jumped up and wrote and sang 'I can't tell you why" enough for Fry, and Henley to see damn he's for real like us.

    • @milt6208

      But Don Felder came up with the rif of their best song and the other two have always tried to take credit for it. And if it wasn't for Felder the Eagles would have remained a country rock middle of the road band. See how they haven't done anything since they kicked him out of the band. That is true.

    • @scottfree641
      @scottfree641 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@milt6208 I don't know if Henley and Fry tried to take credit for his skills , but if they did then your correct that's shitty. However there is a BIG difference between writing music and writing the music AND the lyric's a complete song. But they should have valued him more for sure. Every member has a particular skill to offer the band and they may have failed at acknowledging that to him I don't know. But as far as I know Felder never wrote entire songs on his own. I was under the impression that he was what I call the Icing man (lead playing for songs) like icing on a cake. And they could have used better communication skills to let them know that , that is what they needed him for and gave him credit for.

    according to Felder the comment was taken out of context. Felder contends he said it to the senator's wife who thanked him but he hadn't met her yet and wasn't sure who she was. Frey felt it was said sarcastically because he knew Felder wasn't happy playing free for the benefit. Either way it resulted in a 14yr break up
