History of the Eagles on SHO

2milehighJet · 02-17-2013, 01:37 PM

Anyoe catch this over the weekend???

While not a huge Eagles fan, I just love any documentary based on the lives and history of muscians.

Glen Frey IMO comes across as a huge douche, and I feel he gave Felder a raw deal. He reminds me of Gene Simmons (

) how arrogant he is, but i suppose thats what made the band became so popular? Henley is amazing, and of course love Joe Walsh.

Worth checking out if you have Showtime.

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen, although I am a huge Eagles fan so I'm probably biased.

I agree about Frey...he's one vindictive SOB. Came off like a real douche regarding the whole Felder thing. Very clear he hates that guy.

Felder though is a little crazy thinking he should get equal dough. He didn't start the band and I believe his only hit song was Hotel California which he just did the music and not the lyrics.

Henley and Walsh are just awesome all around.

It was really cool as well to see how all those legends hung out together in the beginning (Henley, Frey, Seger, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt).

Anyway, must see for any Eagles or rock and roll fan.

Yes it was a terrific show. Frey may be a hard ass but someone had to be firm with Don Felder whose whining reminds me of Santonio Holmes.

Loved the part where Frey describes his conversation with Felder's manager.

"I'm sorry you represent the only a$$hole in the band"

"Tell your client he signs the deal by the end of the day or he's out of the f*cking band"

lol

Cant wait, just set the DVR for 7 tonight (321 LI Cablevision)

As much as I love their music, I really dont know anything about them beyond they had some real rough patches inter-personally.

Should be a cool watch.

Henley at Jones Beach was a terrific show.

Don't get showtime...I'll live it through this thread

I read Felder's book and have to see this documentary. The book was not kind to Frey and was 50-50 on Henley.

THE_SOOTHSAYER · 02-19-2013, 12:31 PM

How hot was Linda Rondstat in the early 70's? WOW!

Such a shame she turned into a bitter liberal cow in present day.

I knew about the Frey-Felder feud before seeing this and although Frey comes off as an obnoxious dictator about the whole thing, he's right as rain. No way Felder ever deserved to make as much money as Frey and Henley.

The guy should have kept his mouth shut because I'm sure the money he did get was still huge. If anyone had a gripe it could be Walsh because he was big even before he joined the band but he's been quoted as saying the money they made on the road was incredible, even if it wasn't the same as Frey-Henley.

BTW, I just downloaded Felder's book and am curious to read his side of the story.

It was awesome.It was a shame about Felder, because I was always a fan of his playing. Joe Walsh is exactly as advertised. What a lunatic!

What the hell happened to Randy Meisner? He did not grow old gracefully.

True, Meisner by far aged the worst of all eagles. He looks like a crypt keeper. lol

Even with all the drugs Joe Walsh did he looks 100X better than Meisner.

Bernie Leadon still looks like he can kick some ass.

Let me know what you think about the Felder book, I read it after I heard his interview on Stern.

Walsh looks better today than he did 20 years ago. He was a mess back then. His interviews on Stern are always the best.
