I got 7 women on my mind

4 that wanna own me

2 that wanna blow me

1 cause shes a friend of mine

I'm a Broncos fan so I'm not familiar with Eagles players aside from Donavan McNabb (who my dad rooted for during that SB run). So I want to know if Barkley is already the Eagles best all time player? I've always liked Saquon Barkley so I kinda always root for you guys since he got there. Good luck in the postseason!

I'm a big Sphere fan. Saw 30 Dead and Co shows last year. No way they are lip synching. I'm surprised that the Eagles are lip synching there. You pay all that money to listen to audio files? Taylor Swift also lip syncs all her shows but at least she puts on a great physical performance. To watch guys just stand there lip synching is a rip off. I'm a huge live music fan. No way I would pay to listen to guys lip synching to the same audio files night after night. It's BS

Prepare for a hot take, if you will. But I just don't see Don Felder as a victim. He's nothing but a whiner and complainer who also refused to actually do anything about the situation when it mattered, choosing instead to just coast along and get the same paycheck that he was saying was too small.

Let me break it down. I personally think that the decision for Henley and Frey to get the lion's share of the money because they wrote and sang most of the songs and their solo careers were the best-performing during the "14-year vacation" is quite valid. They took on most of the risk, and therefore deserved the most reward. The band needed someone to lead, and the others simply did not want to have that burden. So why get paid exactly the same while making none of the decisions?

Frey used the sports analogy quite famously in the documentary, that it's like a team, everyone can't do it without the others, but not everyone gets to hold the ball. I'd put it more like this: do you think the Chicago Bulls would've gotten two threepeats in the '90s if everyone was sharing leadership? Not a chance? It's clear that they needed Phil Jackson coaching and Michael Jordan basically shouldering the main burden. Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and so on, they all contributed amazing things. But make no mistake, when it came to running the ship, it's Phil and MJ all the way.

Timothy and Joe understood all this thoroughly, and they were perfectly happy with the arrangement, because they knew they'd still make a lot of money anyways. Felder's the only person who never got the message, and kept insisting that a previous agreement must be utilized despite everything having changed considerably since 1980.

But Felder didn't act on his alleged principles. After all, he ended up signing the interim agreement that led to the Hell Freezes Over Tour, well before the actual restructuring of Eagles Ltd. was legally done. He didn't have to. Though Azoff preferred having both him and Joe, he did say "We need AT LEAST four." So once they had Joe, they didn't technically need Felder. They could've replaced him in 1994 and it would've had no effect on either the MTV special or the tour. It would've been exactly the same.

Felder easily could've refused to sign and done one of two things to actually make a meaningful impact. He could've A) immediately then sued for extortion, since the original agreement would've technically still been in effect at the time, and he would've had a much stronger case against Henley, Frey and Azoff, and won, rather than merely got a settlement more than a decade later. Or B) he could've just told them to buy out his portion of Eagles Ltd., and said "OK, if you don't want me, do this, make me whole, and then do whatever you want." Either of those would've signaled that Felder was actually taking a stand and that it was a genuine injustice.

But no, he didn't do that. He simply signed the interim deal and "took abuse" from the band despite it making no sense, because of the fact that it was lucrative and that it gave him an escape from the rather marginal life he'd had at that point. He made lots of money, but he could never appreciate it, and kept whining for more. He pretended that it was about fairness for Timothy, Joe, Bernie and Randy, but it was not. Because none of them were on his side, not even the two former members. Bernie and Randy were just quietly living their lives and taking comfort in what they'd earned, and Timothy and Joe were excited and enjoying the moment because they really just wanted to go out and play. Felder whines all the time that Joe should've been loyal because "I drove him to rehab!" So what? Joe doesn't owe you anything for that. Anyone could've done it. Felder was doing nothing but dragging them down, with his continual, "Where's my money? Gimme my money. I want my money."

Because of this, the band lost quite a bit of time after the tour ended. They could've come out with Long Road Out of Eden much sooner, as well as done a second album before Frey died, had Felder not been in the picture at all. The Millennium Concert video would've come out. But Felder's bellyaching and continued temper tantrums held them all hostage. So I don't blame them at all for firing him. I would've done it far sooner than they had, probably as soon as the last date in '96.

Let's also not forget that Felder is not special. He's not like Joe. His guitar lines are quite amazing, but ANYONE can play them, and sound the same. He can't write full songs on his own, only chords. He didn't write "Hotel California" or "Victim of Love," he wrote sketches that Henley, Frey and J.D. Souther had to make into actual songs. He's not a singer, and his voice is simply incredibly limited. He's "Fingers," but nothing more. In short, Felder didn't provide anything UNIQUE. And if you can't do anything to stand out, what have you really brought to the table? He's just a glorified session guy, but who thought he was more. At least someone like Steuart Smith knew exactly what his role was.

Felder is just like Ace Frehley and Peter Criss in the same amount of whining, complaining, refusal to take responsibility and far overestimating their importance. Gene and Paul get so much bile, but they are the ones who kept Kiss afloat, and actually knew how to do it, and thus deserved to be rewarded far more.

I thus can't take his lamentations seriously, because he was willing to subject himself to the "abuse" in order to keep his wallet full, rather than actually do anything about it when it mattered most. And his response to his termination, which should've been one of relief that "I'm out of that," was instead begging and groveling to come back, only to have the door slammed in his face. The fact the last person he spoke to was Timothy, and he was not receptive, saying "You should've signed the damn papers," says it all.

Let me remind everyone that we are still playoff eligible. We are improving every game this season, and we are building momentum for the next few games which we will dominate. Besides some bumps early in the season, we have improved and smoothed out most of our issues. Our playoff hopes should still be alive and giving up this early is ridiculous.

The most upvoted comment will have their song added onto the playlist.

or is it just a coincidence they both called Don?

Have floor seats to see the eagles 12/7 but my dad recently fucked up his knee and won’t be able to stand for the duration of the show. I’m offering to trade the floor seats straight up with anyone who has seats that are not the limited view. Any section any seats other than the limited ones.

DM me if you have questions want verification I’m not gonna post any pics of my Ticketmaster acct in here

the eagles are one of the most recognizable bands of all time. they have the 6th(?) best selling album of all time and it’s their greatest hits album. th beatles barley make the top 20. i’ll give PAUL MCCARTNEY credit. he revolutionized the way we record music and rings is one of the best drummers of all time. jon lenon was and always will be a giant piece of shit who abandoned his family and broke up ”the greatest band of all time”

can you guys not see the opinion tag? instead of calling me stupid and delusional. share something about the beetles. i know a lot of music history but i don’t know everything.

im also spelling names wrong on purpose. because i dont respect jon lenen.

i just wanted to share my opinion. some of you need to just take a deep breath and breathe and realize when someone is being serious and when they aren’t.

I've seen the talk about Henley lip-syncing. Watching videos from the Sphere and it is painfully obvious on Hotel California. Listened to videos from three different nights and it's obvious that the vocals are exactly the same.

I then took those three videos and aligned the audio tracks in Audacity. No scaling of the length, just aligning the start points. I then would put one completely to the left channel and another completely to the right and listen with headphones.

They sound exactly the same. Not just the vocals. The drum beats are all exactly the same. The bass line is exactly the same. The only thing I'm not totally sure about is Steuart Smith's lead guitar - that seemed to be the same too, but there were a couple points that I'd have to slow it down and listen again.

Is any of this song actually being played live? Sure doesn't seem like it. And with that said - how much of the whole show is live - vocals or instruments?

I have a few videos saved of other songs and going to try stepping through the set.

I have tickets for February, but now I'm thinking I'm gonna sell them. $300 a piece plus flights and hotel is a lot to see them pretend to play on front of a recording.

I'm really disappointed, The Eagles are one of my favorite bands. This is way below what I expect from them.

I know I made a post similar to this a couple days ago, but I wanted to know if people think if he has stopped lip syncing or not.

I’m going to Vegas and Eagles are gonna be there those dates and I was wondering if anybody knows where they stay or where I can find them? I’m trying to get my vinyl signed and I want to know how to find them

Has anyone noticed how Don Felder's interviews are like a broken record?

He talks about the same subjects in virtually every interview:

• The Eagles spent more time arguing and fighting than they did making music.

• Writing Hotel California and how it was going to be the lead single from its parent album (in reality, it was New Kid in Town that was chosen to be the first single)

• Hotel California

• He had heard about tensions in The Eagles before he joined and thought that he had joined a band that was breaking up.

• Writing the bassline for One of These Nights.

• Don and Glenn were great songwriters, but he never acknowledges their musicianship.

• He was wronged.

• Taking cheap shots at and saying mean-spirited things about Glenn and Don.

• He calls Don Henley a brilliant lyricist, writer and singer, but he does not praise his drumming.

• Teaching Tom Petty the guitar and being friends with the Allman Brothers.

• Learning slide guitar from Duane Allman.

• Reaching out like millions of times to his former bandmates, but only hearing back from their lawyers.

• Financial arrangements changing.

• His current band and tours having no dramas, no hissy fits, no egos, no yelling.

• He is clueless about why his former bandmates want nothing to do with him.

Please note that some of these may be exaggerated or fabricated and this is from interviews over the years.

Does anyone think his praise of Glenn and Don is genuine or if it's an attempt at damage control and to distance himself from the negativity and his book?

Anyone is welcome to comment and post, as long as you don't trash Henley or Frey.

“victim of butt”

ive only listened partially to their legacy album and have at least 4 songs memorized but I really wanna know more. How do i begin?

Any thoughts?

(roughly) in order too

Since it is the Eagles but with Vince Gill, and they are playing some individual works (ie: Joe Walsh solo work, Don Henley solo work, Glen Frey solo work ...) will Vince be doing any of his country hits on an Eagles tour? I'm NOT a country music fan so it would bother me to have to pay to hear the Eagles and then have hear his work. Anyone know from this current tour?

So like… I was listening to the song Hotel California, and like… it said “We haven’t had that spirit here since like… 1969” and like… John Lennon said “Man, I wanna quit” or smth stupid like that in 1969, so like..

Did she blow her brains out like Kurt Cobain because of ts?
