The world lost a priceless commodity of music he was so versatile so iconic so talented yet so down to earth RIP Glenn we will always love you and miss you
Watching this interview makes the absence of Glenn Frey so poignant. He was such a talented songwriter and so integral to the success of the Eagles. I just recently went to the Eagles concert in New York where his son Deacon is singing his Dad’s songs. The band still sounds great but Glenn is so much missed. Thanks for all you gave us, Glenn.
@@vincentsica442 , so true. I saw them in NYC before the pandemic shut everything down - fantastic show, but their ticket prices are outrageous. Love the Eagles!
@@maurahobart8414 you are correct about ticket price...ok to splurge and treat yourself once in a while...people work hard and deserve it...I took my grandkids to see them,it was their first concert..👌
My 55 yr old son, wife and two grown daughters saw the Eagles in New Orleans. They are one of a kind band. In my youth I loved the Eagles. Now that I am 75, I still love the Eagles. Amazing group of guys!
The heart of the Eagles. People this ambitious and talented are rarely this cool and laid-back. Glenn, Don, Randy, Felder and Walsh was one of the finest line ups of any band of all time.
Man I miss Glenn. Finally got to see the Eagles live last month and even though the show was amazing I couldn’t help but think of much I wished Glenn was on stage.
Many might not notice how Glenn Frey assumes the silent workhorse role singing long winded (long long phrases) 3rd harmony/backups & having to mesh perfectly with T.B Schmit in so many Eagles tunes... final verse of "Last Resort" is one of the best examples to see this. I watched him damn near rip a vocal chord (crack) performing Heartache in cold dry air at the Calgary Saddledome in the '90's during HFO tour. The opening act couldn't make it so the Eagles played a full 4 hour concert with 2 encores. Can you believe it? They took a 10 minute break halfway through, and Frey was back on stage singing his lungs out again. Eagles to-a-man are a hard hard working group of musicians, lights out, period.
@Connie Schluter Have you noticed Mr. Frey’s handsomeness becomes a lot more intense when he is dressed in a suit and tie? In addition to this 2012 video, another TH-cam upload turns me on sexually : the 1980s video for Mr. Frey’s song “Smuggler’s Blues.” His wardrobe in that video sends me to a climax. Of course, I love his musical talent.
He ran the Eagles ,guys like that have to run a tight ship. but with talent like that, we just need to be thankful we got those songs from him and Henley.
@@brianjacob8728 Without Don Henley's great lyrics it would not exist either. Or Glen Frey's idea for the song. Felder came up with the intro only. It was a joint effort.
@@scrimmy45 The intro was necessary for the other two to even happen. There's a reason Henley and Frey screwed Felder out of his rightful proceeds. That song earned them a lot of money. Jealousy and greed are no way to run a band...
Glenn Frey thank you for the fantastic music that you shared with us.You will be surely missed by all your adorable fans.May you find eternal peace and happiness in your next life.Amen
Just now (5-11-21) found this interview. Glenn is so respectful of the interviewer, honest, funny and awesome! What a tragic loss at such an early age!!!!!!!!!!
RIP, Glenn. Losing you was like losing a family member. You gave me so much happiness from the time I was a little girl. Thank you for everything. GOD bless your soul, Mr. Frey!!
And Bernie Leadon, he is so under appreciated and legendary musician, people have no idea how creative and skillful he is, he is responsible for some of the greatest string works in the bands repertoire
The more I hear from Glenn Frey the more I like him. He's a real man. I dig him. I just bought "The allnighter" slick 80's stuff but a good album. 'Lovers moon' is a gorgeous ballad.
Great interview. What's sad is Glenn never got to release another album after After Hours which he wanted to do and talked about. That would have been amazing. What a legend and gone too soon. RIP.
I cried when he passed. Should have been better Medical Care. I turned out to be in a suit and tie after starting in a denim/shirt and Levi's funnily enough. Have played Eagles songs since the 70s. Great voice and saw hem every time they came Downunder. Love the guy.
I've just watched this back, and I can tell you that Glenn was a proper, proper gentleman. Unlike Zac below. And The Eagles... dream on, my life is a search for great bands, and they are clearly one of them. Biggest sales on planet earth. The tills don't lie. Long live Glenn and The Eagles! A true gent!
Such a beautiful man , humble intelligent , handsome r as ever smooth sensuous voice and yes even more sexier miss you Glenn Frey RIP beautiful man God bless your family 🙏❤️🇦🇺🌹💖💕
I just love all these people who hate Glenn so much but spend SO much time looking him up and watching him. If I hated someone as much as you people seem to I wouldn't waste one second of my day looking them up and watching them. The funny thing is it really doesn't matter what you say about him because he is laughing all the way to the bank. And there are thousands of people who are still willing and happy to pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars to see them play. WITHOUT FELDER !!
Look at all the haters, lol. Glenn is an institution in rock n roll. His voice and writing is all over some of the greatest hits ever. If I had to go to the bank with someone it would be Glenn, laughing all the way!
I love Glenn Frey and I will miss his presence in this world,he was a big footprint to follow and I'm so sad that we lost him but glad that we have all these wonderful interviews!
He was such a lovely man, took the time to chat before and after the interview too and even played God Only Knows on the piano in the room, just the two of us. Kick myself for not recording that but what a memory.
Excellent interview. Just finished watching History of the Eagles; which was one of the things he was talking about finishing up. Excellent documentary.
Without Henley and Frey, the Eagles don't exist. Grow up folks...jeeeez. Frey acts like an adult and not a punk rocker. That's the problem...so many people have no clue that you don't just get up one day and become the Eagles. It takes work and adult thoughtful behavior to keep it going.
You obviously don't know how horrible they treated the other, JUST AS IMPORTANT band members!! They are talented, no doubt but so are all the other band members that they have fought with and fired!! They needed those guys to get where they are now!! AND to treat them as if they have never mattered, is just above arrogant!!! They would never of made it without the others!!! Read Heaven and Hell by Don Felder and Take It To The Limit!! You'll see what idiots they are or were!
All of this talk about what happened inside the band and the interpersonal relationships are interesting but in the end means little to nothing next to those songs. It's the songs that have made this band one of the greatest of all time. The songs are bigger than the individual members or even the band itself. None of us were there during all of the goings on so none of us know anything. It's all just conjecture. Let's turned down the gossip and turn up the volume on the songs and...enjoy!
+freestanding1000 Absolutely agree with you..whatever happens behind the scenes is really nobody 's business,but since they aired some of that dirt in their documentary was a real lesson about the music business back then. I'am involved in the business and I know how things can get incendiary..but it comes with the package.Bottom line is thes guys collectively did something great in music business. Don and Glenn wrote some incredible tunes along with these ineffectual musicians. I revere them ..they are legends
Glen is gone, but his son continues his legacy we were in the concert yesterday and they still rock the world, excellent skills every aspect of music, they were awesome
I used to watch "Wise Guy" on TV (TV episodes) back in early 90's starring Ken Wahl (Italian-American) Where Glenn Frey was a supporting actor. Glenn Frey went solo for a while after Eagles had a break. He wrote few good songs like "heat is on" Beverly Hills Cop Soundtrack. He also wrote some love songs like "lover's Moon" and "The One You Love".
Pablito Ponce After the breakup of the Eagles in 1980, Frey embarked on a successful solo career. He released his debut album, No Fun Aloud in 1982 and went on to record Top 40 hits "The One You Love", "Smuggler's Blues", "Sexy Girl", "The Heat Is On", "You Belong to the City", "True Love", "Soul Searchin'", and "Livin' Right".
Frey's tailored suit is appropriate attire for the cutthroat corporate exec that he truly is! Indeed, the invaluable contributions of Don Felder that helped the Eagles reach their zenith of artistic and commercial success in the mid-to-late 1970s must be given proper acknowledgement!
Don Felder got proper acknowledgement when he left in the limo. the band literally disbanded that night. they couldn't go on without him . there is his credit.
The legendery fabulous Eagles, I've loved them eversince I've known them❤️they're my fav band of all time, as far as i am concern no one can replace them ever...😊❤️ I'm just so sorry that Glenn's gone😞rest in peace Glenn where ever you are!!!
Glenn, Don would you PLEASE forgive Felder and let him back in the band?. Felder does amazing charity work, is a father, husband, and most of all an Eagle! After all he is only human with many flaws like everyone else. He's hurting and only you guys can help mend this broken heart. We love you all and life is SO short, please?
Gentleman? Have you seen video footage of the 70s? Naked women 2-a-penny, throwing themselves at him, drugged out of his head, booze, constant use of the F word, orgies. Do you know the meaning of the English word 'gentleman'?
What a wonderful musician and singer he was. What a perfect fit for the Eagles band. But what a total Ass-Hat he was as well. One of the biggest egos in musical history. He certainly broke up the Eagles almost single handedly (Don Henley did his share as well). I find it mildly interesting that since his passing, the world has decided to proclaim what a jewel of a guy he was. He was a jerk of epic proportions at times. But who really cares? It's the wealth of music he, and the Eagles, left behind that matters in the big picture, not a childish immaturity and nasty spirit recognized industry wide for his impossible-to-work-with attitude. RIP indeed. I suspect that heaven is full of great players being brow beat by old Glenn as we speak. There have certainly been a bunch of them headed up the "Stairway to Heaven" in 2016.
He didn't sing the biggest hit but The Eagles don't exist without him. He was a genius.. insecure yes, but who isn't? None of us could fathom his world let alone live it. Rest easy Glenn.
The magic left the Eagles when they canned Don Felder - Don is one of the greatest rock guitarists of his day - certainly the best in the Eagles (yes, including Joe).
My 10 best songs One of these nights Sad Cafe New kid in town Lyin eyes Last resort Best of my love Take it to the limit I cant tell you why Already gone Hotel California Doolin Dalton 🔫🎼
I was lucky enough to see Glenn Frye at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas before Glenn died. What a show! My favorite live concert ever other than the Righteous Brothers who I got to see right befkre Bobby Hatfield died. Fabulpus singers who have died and gone to heaven!
I wouldn't ever go see them again without Felder.......he was always my favorite Eagle and always will be, talented beyond words and the chemistry between Walsh and him is classic and can never be replaced...EVER, Frey and Henley are just greedy little asses IMO..
@skating83 I agree with that statement. People always give Eddie Van Halen credit on everything, regardless of whether he wrote lyrics or not, but Don Felder doesn't deserve it? Lyrics are hard, but coming up with good music can be just as hard. Mozart's operas were written by others, but the music he put to them is some of the greatest music ever written. I love Frank Sinatra, but guys like Nelson Riddle or Count Basie put as much gold in his recordings as he did.
It seems to be a popular thing to "slam" or speak in disparaging terms about leaders of pop bands, as people do of Glen Frey or Eagles & Mike Love of The Beach Boys...And, it seems to me that when Glen observes that The Eagles are WAY bigger than any one guy in the group is. He says: "In this second incarnation of The Eagles, it's been pretty smooth sailin'!". I find Frey to be a reasonably-down-to-earth guy myself. But, fact is, I've got "No ax to grind"! We should all live and be well!
Glen frey liked the fuckin Gorillaz thats dope.. I'll never forget when i passed away, I stayed up late listening to classic Eagles tunes, especially Take It Easy which will always have a special place in my heart cause the 1st women I fell in love with Loved that song
This dude was seriously talented, had it not been for him you would have never heard of Randy Meisner or Don Felder, it takes more than talent to become super successful and famous, the Eagles were as big as the Beatles and Led Zep.
The Olympia.. I saw the Red Wings during a practce session there. I think they tore that place down years ago. They have been playing at Joe Louis for years now.
Bernie Leadon was not fired? But he did quit over differences within the band, Leadon had different paths he wanted to go with the Eagles that Glenn Frey and Don Henley did'nt mainly different created paths different styles of music he wanted where Glenn and Don did'nt.
I totally agree with Glenn, Don Felder was the most ungrateful guy....made me sad that Don could not be happy with what he brought to the group....fantastic musician, he contributed in many ways, he just wasn't the leader and he didn't have the "song power" Henley and Frey have. I love Glenn...love his smart ass sense of humor....I am just amazed that they all have "grown up", no hardware dangling all over them, no tattoos. Just turned out to all be "grown-ups" with families. And, they can still make wonderful music...
All about greed? It takes two to play, ya know. If people didn't line up to pay $100-$1000 for quickly sold-out concert tickets, then they wouldn't still be touring, would they? Think about it. Also take into consideration that their concerts average 3 hours long because they have at least 25 Top Ten singles that every American can sing the lyrics to in their SLEEP. We're only talking about one of the most prolific bands that ever existed. The fact that they survived this long is another plus in their favor. No one hums the tunes to "the personalities". It's about the SONGS. Always has, always will be.....long after they're all dead. How many bands can you say that about?
The world lost a priceless commodity of music he was so versatile so iconic so talented yet so down to earth RIP Glenn we will always love you and miss you

Totally agree!
he was nothing but a person full of hatered and shit, the way he berated felder, randy and bernie shows that. He got what was coming to him
I have been to 3 Eagle concerts, I suggest everyone see them before they stop touring..they play for 2 hours with no breaks..great concert
@@vincentsica442 , so true. I saw them in NYC before the pandemic shut everything down - fantastic show, but their ticket prices are outrageous. Love the Eagles!

How lucky were you. I truly believe he was a regular guy. Unpretentious. We lost a great one.
Rest in peace Glenn Frey you brought us such beautiful music and songs we love you.

Sherwood FiftyThirtyBC well said.
Is it just me? Or did Glenn Frey become sexier with age. WOW!! I love his voice.
Connie Schluter Nope it’s not you. He was a very HOT man. Love him.
Yeah I've always had a thing for him!💗

Glenn Frey thank you for the fantastic music that you shared with us.You will be surely missed by all your adorable fans.May you find eternal peace and happiness in your next life.Amen
Glenn Frey is one of the most underrated singers in the history of rock...
How can anybody in a band as overrated as the Eagles be underrated?
What are the Eagles known for? Lots of things but Glenn Frey's singing voice isn't one of them. And he should be. That's how.
ronson232 Now here is a statement of contradictions!
Dreamr OKelly I guess that would make you Don Felder.
Dreamr OKelly Oh, so now I'm a nazi. Oh wait....
Been listening to the Eagles since 1975 and the world is not the same without Glenn Frey
Just now (5-11-21) found this interview. Glenn is so respectful of the interviewer, honest, funny and awesome! What a tragic loss at such an early age!!!!!!!!!!
RIP, Glenn. Losing you was like losing a family member. You gave me so much happiness from the time I was a little girl. Thank you for everything. GOD bless your soul, Mr. Frey!!
Coolest guy and one of the greatest songwriters of all time
R.I.P. Glenn Frey! You are dearly missed!
he's responsible for the two of the three best selling albums of all time; very cool dude
And Bernie Leadon, he is so under appreciated and legendary musician, people have no idea how creative and skillful he is, he is responsible for some of the greatest string works in the bands repertoire
I will always miss Glenn Frey.

Grew up on The Eagles. Best of my love is mine and my wife’s favorite song of all times. Rest in peace, my brother.
Anyone who says that Don Felder is an average guitar player, either doesn't play or hasn't played long enough to appreciate great, melodic phrasing.
Excellent interview. Just finished watching History of the Eagles; which was one of the things he was talking about finishing up. Excellent documentary.
Before he became respectable ...

@@robertarodriguez6824 I agree, and this guy is just a Glenn Frey fanboy.

Rest in peace Glenn Frey. Your music was a very big part of my life and I am so grateful!
Great man. All the love. See you down the line.

He was an incredibly smart guy
Great interview - Glen Frey is such a great musician and "feel good" singers.
loved the Eagles saw them open for Yes in 72 or so..what a pairing
RIP to a bright brilliant voice/star of my generation. Godspeed Mr. Frey.
Lets make something very clear, without Don Felder and Hotel California the eagles are literally no where near where they landed in the rock history.
i love that man .. he so amazin :)
Frey's tailored suit is appropriate attire for the cutthroat corporate exec that he truly is!
Indeed, the invaluable contributions of Don Felder that helped the Eagles reach their zenith of artistic and commercial success in the mid-to-late 1970s must be given proper acknowledgement!
Don Felder got proper acknowledgement when he left in the limo. the band literally disbanded that night. they couldn't go on without him . there is his credit.
Rest in Paradise Glenn :)
If you were a foreigner dreaming of America, listen to the Eagles.
Glenn gave such a great induction speech for Linda Ronstadt at the Rock n Roll HOF. Truly heartfelt.
exactly right on - spoken by a true musician
The legendery fabulous Eagles, I've loved them eversince I've known them❤️they're my fav band of all time, as far as i am concern no one can replace them ever...😊❤️ I'm just so sorry that Glenn's gone😞rest in peace Glenn where ever you are!!!
After all these years...he's still a hottie:)
R.I.P. Gleen and thank for your work 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
No Frey No Eagles. Glad I got to enjoy them
i wish the eagles could’ve done one more tour before glenn died. such a sad story.
Thanks man
Good interview!
Very much respect for you Glenn.rip
He is not anymore among us, Eagles gave us lots of joy and fun. I regret had made judgments about Glenn. He was what he wanted to be. RIP Glenn Frey
A beautiful humble man rip Glenn Frey ♥️🙏
he really was, gentle and kind. RIP
A very modest man, a great musician, songwriter, and a man who has done his musical apprenticeship.
"A very modest man" Have you been in a coma for the last twenty years?
Modest? You're way off there, mate, he was an arrogant SOB and its no secret.
A lot have said this! oh well, got that wrong,thanks for info.
Regards-John
jgaunt1 you're kidding right?
From feed-back, it appears I am!
Regards-John.
Glenn, Don would you PLEASE forgive Felder and let him back in the band?. Felder does amazing charity work, is a father, husband, and most of all an Eagle! After all he is only human with many flaws like everyone else. He's hurting and only you guys can help mend this broken heart. We love you all and life is SO short, please?
Felder snubbed the band when they did charity work and he didn't want to do it.
Glenn made gossip fun in little Sheffield, Alabama during his 5 year stretch of recording here from 1981 to 1987!
RIP Glenn Frey we will always love and miss you. He will live on through the beautiful music.
Glenn Frey , a Gentleman and a Legend period.
Gentleman? Have you seen video footage of the 70s? Naked women 2-a-penny, throwing themselves at him, drugged out of his head, booze, constant use of the F word, orgies. Do you know the meaning of the English word 'gentleman'?
You will never be able to replace Glenn. No Glenn, no Eagles
The greatest American rock group..the Eagles...been around over 40 years with the most album sales..

wow I never knew glenn was a big clapton fan, like me, it just made me smile abit, made me think we are that little more alike than i thought.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "y'know".

It’s funny that you brought up EVH, another great musician but as a human being, not so much. He proved that with how he treated Michael Anthony.
It isn't the artist, it's the music. If you didn't know any of the drama or the ugly secrets you'd still love thwe music.
Such a cool men,,ll be miss FOR SURE !,,,,,,
It seems to be a popular thing to "slam" or speak in disparaging terms about leaders of pop bands, as people do of Glen Frey or Eagles & Mike Love of The Beach Boys...And, it seems to me that when Glen observes that The Eagles are WAY bigger than any one guy in the group is. He says: "In this second incarnation of The Eagles, it's been pretty smooth sailin'!". I find Frey to be a reasonably-down-to-earth guy myself. But, fact is, I've got "No ax to grind"! We should all live and be well!
Miss the man!
Glen frey liked the fuckin Gorillaz thats dope.. I'll never forget when i passed away, I stayed up late listening to classic Eagles tunes, especially Take It Easy which will always have a special place in my heart cause the 1st women I fell in love with Loved that song
Got another one for you. Sleeper Agent - great young band!
So why is it that we always find interviews with british press, and noone from america .. thank god for the movie History of the Eagles..
This dude was seriously talented, had it not been for him you would have never heard of Randy Meisner or Don Felder, it takes more than talent to become super successful and famous, the Eagles were as big as the Beatles and Led Zep.
Face got jackhammered out of Rushmore(original 5 faces), That's the funniest thing I've heard this month!! Nice job Johnny Unitas down there.
Fry says 'you know' more than a high school freshman in a speech 101 class. Those Marlboroughs through the years took there toll on that skin.
Bingo brother !
The Olympia.. I saw the Red Wings during a practce session there. I think they tore that place down years ago. They have been playing at Joe Louis for years now.
glenn frey R.I.p
Bernie Leadon was not fired? But he did quit over differences within the band, Leadon had different paths he wanted to go with the Eagles that Glenn Frey and Don Henley did'nt mainly different created paths different styles of music he wanted where Glenn and Don did'nt.
Agreed!
100% agreed on what you have said here
Glenn was very strong desiring for leading or managing and control on band. He looks like that the Eagles band is mine
Great singer and composer !!! Thats all
I totally agree with Glenn, Don Felder was the most ungrateful guy....made me sad that Don could not be happy with what he brought to the group....fantastic musician, he contributed in many ways, he just wasn't the leader and he didn't have the "song power" Henley and Frey have. I love Glenn...love his smart ass sense of humor....I am just amazed that they all have "grown up", no hardware dangling all over them, no tattoos. Just turned out to all be "grown-ups" with families. And, they can still make wonderful music...
***** Felder rules! He is a nice guy.
+Duncan Ruley No, I dont see that.
+Duncan Ruley Oh how wrong you are. I don't even have to look at you to see that YOU are an idiot.
TennGardener lol how do you know??? From the documentary then Glenn and Henley directed loll
You do not have a clue
All about greed? It takes two to play, ya know. If people didn't line up to pay $100-$1000 for quickly sold-out concert tickets, then they wouldn't still be touring, would they? Think about it.
Also take into consideration that their concerts average 3 hours long because they have at least 25 Top Ten singles that every American can sing the lyrics to in their SLEEP. We're only talking about one of the most prolific bands that ever existed. The fact that they survived this long is another plus in their favor.
No one hums the tunes to "the personalities". It's about the SONGS. Always has, always will be.....long after they're all dead. How many bands can you say that about?
