+Emanon Schmergner do you think so..Glen and Don always made him sound like he was ungrateful and couldn't accept a certain position. Theysaid also in that documentary that not everybody can be the leaders:Glen and Don definately set the standard for the Band..lets see if Don Felder returns after the Glenn's passing.
Most dogs that get fed, well, they never bite the hand that feeds them. He should always take the high rode, as the group NEVER suffered after he was run off from the group. They, The Eagles, minus Felder, were still GREAT, he was and is, done.
Happy Birthday Don Felder! 73 going on 40. And thank you especially for "Hotel California" but the song "Visions" too. "One of these Nights" and "Those Shoes". All the other songs as well. Thanks for all the years of hard work. I grew up hearing your guitar work. My kids now enjoy it as well. You are one heck of a guitar player and a genuine class act Mr. Don Felder. The world needs more people like you - kimie
Yes, Don is one of a kind.. I was told that he and Joe Walsh had fire extinguishers turned on them during that guitar riff that closes “Hotel California.” That’s what makes the song. I’m kidding about the extinguishers, but the sound guys had to close them out.
indeed, i'm not even gay but his over the top angelic hippie look on the album covers always struck me as outstandingly handsome. I would still put Glenn Frey on top of 70s pretty boy though.
What a great guy Don Felder The man wrote all this great music. Great solos The American anthem Hotel California.... i would be in a band with him any day
At the time I would not have given the eagles a second listen except for this exceptional guitar playing. I had to find out who that was. And then I learn to appreciate the pre Felder Eagles music as well.
A good friend played in the band Flow with Don. John winter played flute, sax. He passed away about a year ago. He was the one, in the book Heaven and Hell that hid the pot in his flute while talking to a cop at the house they were staying in. Lol.
For those that have enjoyed hearing Don Felder here, you need to listen to his 2012 album, Road To Forever. It is easily one of the best classic rock n roll albums I've heard in years. His songwriting and musicianship shines through in amazing ways.
What a class act Felder is and I happen to be reading Heaven and Hell right now. I like how he doesn't bash, and all of the credit he gives to his old friend Bernie Leadon.
I have no idea what John is saying here. He CAN'T be saying that both Bernie Leadon and Don Felder are 'talentless', because any musician who knows what it takes to play all those instruments as well as they both are able to KNOWS what true talent is. Oh yea, and I'll bet you they know the difference between when to use your and you're.
Isn't it ironic that Felder is so chill when talking about the Eagles, but those guys can only talk about him in angry tones, and Walsh/Schmidt seem to not be able to talk about him at all.
2 HitWonder - the reason Schmidt and Walsh stay mum is because they are still contracted and paid separately from the Eagles pot. They can be fired at any given moment. Felder, Henley, Frey as well as Leadon and Meisner created the Eagles Ltd. corporation shortly before Leadon jumped ship, and were each paid 1/5 a piece of whatever the corporation earned. Leadon and Meisner eventually divested themselves from Eagles Ltd. after their resignations. That is why Felder became concerned when Frey and Henley decided to move the goal posts in the 1990s to tilt the scales in their favor. The only one who was still an active member of Eagles Ltd. was Felder, so he had a vested interest. That was also why Frey and Henley decided to fire him and divest him from Eagles Ltd. Schmidt and Walsh have always been treated as guns for hire. Sad. They are not part of Eagles Ltd., and that was by design. They receive songwriting royalties and a piece of the touring profits. But that’s it. In some ways, Frey’s death was a form of poetic justice. Henley is the last man standing in Eagles Ltd., and by most accounts, still a curmudgeonly, angry individual. When Henley tours now as "The Eagles," I tend to think of it more as "Don Henley and Friends" or a glorified tribute band (kind of like the touring version of The Beach Boys). The real Eagles ended when Felder was fired. Then it was Frey/Henley + Schmidt/Walsh.
2 HitWonder- so true. I've been watching some Eagle's interview, comparing Felder to Glen and Henley he's such an honestly cool guy. He speaks with respect to them. All I see in Glen n Henley were always frowning about him though they were good musicians.
@@PinkLaffs You sound like you read Felder's book a hundred times but you missed the fact that part of the settlement is Felder still has his shares in Eagles Ltd to this day. Because of this, he is still in litigation because of that fact and why Frey and Henley are so angry.
Don Felder is 'the most genuine nice guy', same can't be said for other members of the Eagles, should have been called the Eagoe's, stuff it, still luv their music regardless.
Gainesville Florida had something special going on in the 1960’s Tom Petty lived close to The Leaden but was a little younger When he started his first band Bernie’s brother was in it. They all ended up in LA in the late sixties I believe Gram Parsons of the Burrito Brothers was also from Florida
Felder was always a class act and the band’s true secret weapon as a lead guitarist and guitar melody writer. He and Walsh were probably the best guitar duo ever.
To this day, when I listen to the rare Bernie Leadon interview, I feel he is honest and he tells it like it is. Wonderful musician. I just got halfway through Don Felder’s book Heaven and Hell, and I can’t put it down, it’s so interesting, and it is well written. I believe Glenn and Don H. Really we’re ego driven and greedy. They definitely were ego driven and couldn’t take enough of the other band members share of money.
Funny observation Artie makes about how Glenn Frey comes across in that Eagles documentary - I didn't notice but it was Frey who ushered out the three musicians who left the band.
Not even one minute in, sitting with one of the most legendary musicians of all time from the most legendary American band in history and Artie name drops Angus Young. 🙄
150 million album sales including the all time best selling album and 6 number one albums. What the fuck are you talking about??? I get it, you don't like them, so you'll give a dumb opinion for everyone to see......christ.....hindered the potential....the fuck outta here!!
Mick Taylor wrote a lot, they just didn't give him credit which is one of the reasons he left. He helped with can you hear me knocking, moonlight mile, sway, time waits for no one, till the next goodbye.
@@MegaSammy70 Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street and Goats Head Soup were among the Stones all time best albums. Mick Taylor's playing on those albums was as good as any rock and roll licks ever played. If you don't believe me just listen closely, please.
Joe would have to quit The Eagles, the band isn't hardly doing anything nowadays but since Walsh and Schmidt are under contract and paid very well by the band. I don't ever see that happening.
New Yorkers listen with their mouths. I am a physician in Florida and when I have to instruct patients they talk right over me; I have to tell them, "I'm not saying this to pointlessly kill time, It might actually be important." I love that aspect about them now but it took a little time to get used too.
Both Glen Frey and Don Henley really took a hot steaming shit on Don Felder. As CFO of the corporation, he had every right to inquire about expenditures and band decisions he was never made aware of. There solution to an inquiring mind is termination. I don't blame Don Felder for slapping a lawsuit on his former bandmates, he was left no choice. I see no reason for there not to be a reconciliation, especially for the sake of the fans. Greed and Jealousy seems to run rampant behind the scenes with the Eagles organization.
They have used other guitarists too as session players. the song "Worried About You" has a killer lead riff that I love and thought Ron Wood played but it's actually played by a guy named Wayne Perkins.The songs "Memory Motel" and "Hot Stuff" have a guy named Harvey Mandel playing leads on them.They were two guys (along with Peter Framton) who lost out on the job to Ron Wood.
I am 59 and I wish the Eagles would make a music documentary that lasts for a minimum of 3 hours, and no one is ripping eachother apart where people could toke a little, drink a little in front of a 6o inch TV and enjoy the Eagles ride.00
He may have but Jagger/Richard probably took credit for it. They created the name Nanker Phelge when song writing credits went to the whole band.Bill Whyman says in his book he came up with the "Jumping Jack Flash" rhythm and it should have gone under the Nanker Phelge banner but Jagger/Richards took credit for it along with "Paint it Black" which was also a band effort that they took writing credits for. So it is possible Taylor had a rfff or two stolen from him by Jagger/Richards.
Don Henley has a whole platoon of lawyers searching the world over for copyright infringements of Eagle songs. God help the poor TH-camr who tries to share their love of Eagles music.
Glen Frey is the Roger Waters of The Eagles. He is both absolutely talented beyond question and completely narcissistic. I do think Henley has a bit of this issue as well but it seems to be Frey who's always at the forefront of firing people. The History of the Eagles tour was incredible but without Felder and Meisner (not their fault) it wasn't very big on history outside of having Bernie back in the fold (which was fantastic).
MechanicalAnimal Meisner continuously refused to sing his song "Take it to the Limit" while touring because he was sick of it or not up to it. Frey reminded him that everyone in the band was tired of singing their songs also but that what the fans wanted and that's what make them the success that they were. After a concert of Meisner not singing Take it to the Limit, Frey told Meisner if he didn't want to do his part, he should just quit. I doubt Frey wanted him to quit but to just sing his song. Meisner quit.
he was having troubles health wise when he refused to sing.... with the kind of vocal range the song requires he need to be in the best of health to do it...
Check out his two solo songs on the 1980 soundtrack album Heavy Metal. Both are superb. Better than almost everything on the last Eagles album, and better than anything from the scab Eagles album Long Road out of Eden.
when they got back together don asked wheres all this money going too!!... next morning he got a phone call from a Lawyer saying Your Fired.... gag order issued so no book aloud.....lol poor guy::::::
Henley and Frey unbelievable that guys their age carry on in this manner.I love you guys but please grow up and give your fans who you owe everything to what they want.Grow up guys you're near seventy for Christ sake.
I was excited to click on this interview, but went immediately to the comments to see if Artie interrupted the whole time. I guess I won't watch the interview.
I’ve been the documentary a few times and am currently reading Felder’s book. Does anyone know if the track of Felder singing VOL is available anywhere? I’d like to hear it. Lone dissenter here: I’ve actually always preferred Frey’s vocals to Henley’’s, although I think both of them are great. Just don’t like how Henley gets elevated as the best singer. I don’t agree. They each were equally good. They had different styles. Frey’s vocals were smoother and more laid back. Henley had that rasp which was appealing in a different way.
Artie, my take about Glenn Frey as well. And Don Henley’s defense about no one had the right to demand a vocal (Victim of Love) like him demanding playing lead guitar. Ironic as he demanded he sing over Don Felder’s vocal behind his back.
In contrast when you have that much talent within a band with each band member being gifted in so many different area's it's kind of inevitable that these guys would bang heads & have ego's etc...

Don Felder always comes across like a gentleman.
Don Felder always took the high road, when talking about Henley, and Frey. I don't know that I could be as gracious, as he is. Good for him.
I agree. This is the kind of dude that would be a good friend rather than a fair-weather friend.

Don Felder is a class act.

Class act Don Felder, keeps it positive. Oh and then there's his amazing talent. :)
Felder sucks

indeed, i'm not even gay but his over the top angelic hippie look on the album covers always struck me as outstandingly handsome. I would still put Glenn Frey on top of 70s pretty boy though.
Class act Don Felder.
Artie has learnt the art of interrupting from Howard.
Very annoying
Don felder is a fine wine...and a legend he will rock by himself like a boss
He had such a stellar solo career 🙄🙄🙄🙄
He should just play … cause that voice is nails on a chalkboard
Listening to Don Felder is really informative.
Pity we didn't hear much from him here
I did read his book Heaven and Hell, My Life in the Eagles 1974-2001, it was very good to read!!
The chemistry between don and joe playing is just amazing the solo on hotel California still gives me goosebumps watching it live
True!!!
What a class guy. After all these years such a gentleman.
What a great guy Don Felder The man wrote all this great music. Great solos The American anthem Hotel California.... i would be in a band with him any day
I saw Don with the Eagles in the 70’s and he was awesome. I love hearing these stories.
Don Felder got

Artie born in 1967, Don Felder born in 1947. Safe to say Felder is taking great care of himself. He looks amazing.
Don has beautiful hands, too.
Artie looks better now
Thankfully I saw Felder with the Eagles in 96 Edinburgh Murrayfield park. Awesome!!!
Don had a studio next door to our karate studio...we talk all the time...what a great person& artist....the best
At the time I would not have given the eagles a second listen except for this exceptional guitar playing. I had to find out who that was. And then I learn to appreciate the pre Felder Eagles music as well.
Me too the I found out it was ALL Joe Walsh

You don't bash when your talentless....
then why are YOU bashing? talentless?
John Sonnenberger that's just ignorant

He CAN'T be saying that both Bernie Leadon and Don Felder are 'talentless', because any musician who knows what it takes to play all those instruments as well as they both are able to KNOWS what true talent is. Oh yea, and I'll bet you they know the difference between when to use your and you're.
Felder is such a gracious and nice man. I saw the docu several times.....Glen n Frey were brutal towards Felder.
Brutal against Felder, meisner and leadon...me thinks it was a Frye problem 😳
Love Artie's impression of Henley 👌😁
Huge fan of Don and The Eagles.
I will always have the upmost respect for Mr Don Felder. Sounds crazy but I Wish they would let him come back and tour at least one more time.
Watching this interview after the Howard Stern clip from '08. I'll say this, Artie is so much better at listening to his guest!

So true!
So many think the Eagles is a democracy! Far from it.
Felder had already sang lead on Visions from One of These Nights so there was precedent. Wish the documentary had said that.
Don Felder is 'the most genuine nice guy', same can't be said for other members of the Eagles, should have been called the Eagoe's, stuff it, still luv their music regardless.
My father knew Bernie Leadon and built the Banjo that he played for the Take it Easy album version...no shit!
saw felder a couple months ago.Great show glad to see him touring.Keep on rocking Don you do it so well
Also, Felder taught a teenage Tom Petty to play at a music store Gainesville.
Yep
Also played in a band with Steven Stills.
Gainesville Florida
had something special going on in the 1960’s
Tom Petty lived close to The Leaden but was a little younger
When he started his first band Bernie’s brother was in it.
They all ended up in LA in the late sixties
I believe Gram Parsons of the Burrito Brothers was also from Florida
Felder was always a class act and the band’s true secret weapon as a lead guitarist and guitar melody writer. He and Walsh were probably the best guitar duo ever.
I seen Don play with Sammy Hagar and Vince Neil a couple years ago,killer show
To this day, when I listen to the rare Bernie Leadon interview, I feel he is honest and he tells it like it is.
Wonderful musician.
I just got halfway through Don Felder’s book Heaven and Hell,
and I can’t put it down, it’s so interesting,
and it is well written.
I believe Glenn and Don H.
Really we’re ego driven and greedy.
They definitely were ego driven and couldn’t take enough of the other band members share of money.
A class act to say the least!!!!!!!
Don Felder is a class act from A-Z. How could anyone have a problem with this man?
Thanks so much for posting! Great interview with Don! He's a musical genius!
Funny observation Artie makes about how Glenn Frey comes across in that Eagles documentary - I didn't notice but it was Frey who ushered out the three musicians who left the band.
Thanks Artie.....I've been waiting for the real details. Artie nailed it, in the interview.
Not even one minute in, sitting with one of the most legendary musicians of all time from the most legendary American band in history and Artie name drops Angus Young. 🙄
Don Felder also gave guitar lessons to Tom Petty I think in Gainsville FL. A lot of talented people from Gainesville.
Yes he did!
He didn't do to bad financially with the Eagles. He could nave done better, but he is a class act and took the high road.
Felder is smooth as butter and smart as a whip. His mind is intact. As opposed to others in the same business
And still handsome
Felder is a fuckin awesome guy!
Felder & Walsh ROCK!!!
Don Henley and Glenn Frey for all their talent were too much about ego and money. As a result, they actually hindered the potential of the Eagles.
Yes they did. You are 100% accurate.

My sentiments exactly !!!
Exactly
Henley/Frye/Irving Azoff hid the incoming money after Geffen sold them to WB. Felder caught on and began asking questions.
He speaks highly of Frey and Henley he's more forgiven than I am

I'd rather hear Don Felder talk about his own music than Artie Lange. I don't think Felder was drifting, just let him talk.
Watched him open for Styx and REO a couple years back. Blew them off the stage.

Love Don Felder’s playing and total work. Seems like a very nice fellow.
The art of a good interviewer is to ask a question then shut up
I am 59 and I wish the Eagles would make a music documentary that lasts for a minimum of 3 hours, and no one is ripping eachother apart where people could toke a little, drink a little in front of a 6o inch TV and enjoy the Eagles ride.00
from what I've seen and heard Don Felder must have quite a resolve for music
He may have but Jagger/Richard probably took credit for it. They created the name Nanker Phelge when song writing credits went to the whole band.Bill Whyman says in his book he came up with the "Jumping Jack Flash" rhythm and it should have gone under the Nanker Phelge banner but Jagger/Richards took credit for it along with "Paint it Black" which was also a band effort that they took writing credits for.

Artie does a great imitation of Don Henley at 13:30.

I agree, Frey is very controlling. In the end, Felder was right. Legally, he was a equal partner with Frey and Henley. He was awarded $50m.
Randy quit the band, so that is his "fault," if that's how you wanna describe it.
Are you kidding me? Meisner didn't want out. He was pressured out by Glenn. This is by all witness accounts.
