The Eagles Feud Watch "The Full Eagles Feud" story here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdOqiJRztba-kY0.html With some bands, the story of their infighting became as much, if not more so, a part of their history than the music. Such is the case with the Los Angeles-born rock band the Eagles. The Eagles formed in 1971 when Linda Ronstadt recruited drummer Don Henley and songwriter Glenn Frey as her backup players. It was on tour then that Henley and Frey decided to form their own group. Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, who were also close to Ronstadt and played with her at the time, were included in the lineup. Then, in 1974, Don Felder joined the band. From 1974 until 2001, the Florida-born Felder served as the lead guitar player for the group. But in 2001, he was fired. Felder had been called in for a recording session in 1974 to add guitar to a couple of Eagles songs. Not long after, though, as the band moved from its country twang, slide-guitar style to more rock, Felder was asked to join the group as a fully-fledged member. Not long after in 1975, Leadon, who introduced Felder to the group, left the band famously pouring beer over Frey’s head before doing so. The first album the band released with its new lineup was 1976’s Hotel California. Hotel California is one of the best-selling albums of all time. It has sold over 32 million copies worldwide, making it the band's second best-selling album after Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975). It has been ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time. And who wrote the title track? Well, Felder, Henley and Frey as a trio. Felder wrote the music and the other two wrote the lyrics. Felder also plays the iconic guitar solo. Today, the song is the band’s most famous, among many hits. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe To The Remember This KZfaq Channel Here ► geni.us/RememberThisChannel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💥 History and Nostalgia Channel (20th Century History Documentaries)💥 Welcome to the Remember This KZfaq History and Nostalgia Channel where we discuss thought provoking subject matter from recent the recent past to modern day... get ready for 20th Century History Documentaries content on all things from conspiracy theories to real events and how they shaped our lives.

Don Felder is actually a nice guy. I left him a message many years ago on Facebook and he responded with kind words.

Felder took the eagles to the next level. Felder is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Tone king

No Felder, no Hotel California, no legendary Eagles nowadays. That's it.

Don Felder is an underrated guitarist and song writer. He was a victim of Henley and frey's greed and control issues. He was underappreciated and without him, the eagles would not have been as successful especially in the late 70's

He may have been fired but he still owns one third of the Band . He never gave up his rights . Smart guy .

When you are listening to "Hotel California" thats Don Felder playing guitar.

Don Felder should never have been fired. Don H & Glen should have gone into therapy instead. Without Don Felder the Eagles would never have had Hotel California. There best, most memorable song.

Usually with bands the lead singers are the heart and soul and can replicate musicians but in their case post Don Felder, it was noticeable. After 40 years of playing music I can say that Dons style is like no other and one of the best. So I’m my opinion the Eagles weren’t the same without Don.

Don Felder captured my heart w/Hotel California

If Felder hadn’t join the band, The Eagles would be in the country hall of fame. Geez, my folks loved the Eagles until One of These Nights. Felder was sorely mistreated by the big headed song writers. You can’t blame him for wanting some credit.

I never knew the Eagles had so much trouble within. And find it amazing they were so successful with this going on. They were one of my favorite bands!

The Eagles were and always will be my favorite band❤❤

Don Felder did more for the Eagles with Hotel California than Fry and Henley. Felder got a huge settlement and good for him.

Saw them in the 70s. Great live band. Too bad the egos were too big.

Felder will always be my favourite eagle.

Joe Walsh was the best thing about that band. Anything of quality and substance that came out of the Eagles over the years was only on account of him and his input, involvement, and contribution.

You are all right without Felder no HOTEL CALIFORNIA no Legendary

Never be another time like the PEACEFUL easy flowing seventies. Back then in the innocents of growing up and smoking of some grass, no not the mowing kind. The munchies and the laughing, quickly followed, visine was nice too. Those five guys were some of the most beautiful faces any of us young chicks as we were called them had ever seen in our coming of age years. In my opinion they were then and now still one of the most iconic groups of all time. Love will keep us alive is one of my favorites. I really liked all of their music, in the mix of all the changing and maturity we were experiencing it's so memorable to when you hear their music it takes us back to that coming of age error, that flees so quickly. Those times may be long ago but the warmness of our hearts and the thoughts that our minds were going through, it's nice to remember their music played a big part in that time of our life's

I realize that life is full of "what ifs". Now, what if Don Felder got together with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner and formed their own band? Imagine the sound and the songs? Just saying...

Actually there's multiple sources saying that Linda Ronstadt recommended that these guys get together with these other guys which formed the Eagles. So it's already known that Linda Ronstadt had a big part in the creation of the Eagles.

Henley and Fry were perfectionists always chasing the brass ring. The became perfect A-holes. Schmit was smart. Stayed on the outside

I ❤ EAGLES songs . They are all great musicians !

i see these comments saying that don felder is the best of the eagles. Without him no hotel california. thats true, im not denying it. But, joe walsh wrote the iconic life in the fast lane riff, meisner wrote take it to the limit, henley/frey desperado. So yes, there would be no Hotel California without felder, but there would be other hits too. Not saying felder isn’t good, he’s fantastic.

It was Henley and Frey being controlling and obsessive and absolutely bullyish. Henley is still a monster bully.

The more I learned about Henley/Frey the less I respected their Legacy.. Talented yet petty control freaks.

Hey...my hippie cousin grew up with, went out with and graduated with Glenn Frey in Royal Oak , Michigan.

I love the Eagles. Felder and Walsh are my favorite. I love don henley’s voice tho.

I just saw Don Felder in concert last week. He is an AMAZING singer and guitar player!! Such a nice dude!! Fan friendly too!

Founding member Felder 👍🏻 fight the power !

It's undeniable Felder made the band soar even higher when he joined in. If only Frey and Henley weren't that greedy and stick to the accord, Felder wouldn't have filed a lawsuit for breech of contract

I wish Don Felder would have stayed with the eagles. He was an excellent guitar player and really was an integral part of the Eagles band.

No Felder? No Eagles

I was in a band for 10 years and after the 2 or 3rd year all band members have disagreements and pick and choose up sides as to which ones will stick with each other. It's a job and when you bring 4, 5, and 6 guys together that are all wanting to bring their creative side to the table it gets hairy. Arguments ensue and shit happens. But it's a job that's fun which is why I stuck around for a decade. Other than my child being born and the year's I spent with my ex-wife, entertaining people was the best part of my life.

The Eagles 💖 ✨Hotel California ✨🎵🎸💎😎👌

I don't really have a favorite song I truly like them all always been an Eagles fan from the beginning as far as the members go I believe they all made the Eagles the band that they are

Felder was fired because he caught wind of Henley and Fry taking more money than agreed upon. The Eagles were equal partners on paper but in reality they were not. Walsh and Schmitt were not included in that partnership.

Why the small mention of Bernie Leadon, he was one of my favorite members of the original band. Their early albums with him are beautiful, it's too bad nobody talks about him. Great singer and songwriter

Great looking guys ❤️

No Eddie van Helen no van Helen No slash no gun n rose No don Felder no eagles

Just finished watching him and Joe Walsh playing the solos on Turn to Stone. WOW 😳

Fabuloso grupo

Pretty easy to understand: Frey was a jerk and bully and most normal, nice people like Randy Meisner and Don Felder got sick of Frey's ego and being a first-class jerk.

I loved the Eagles coming up! But if indeed the fighting was about using the music to politicize; I can understand the fight!

Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner are two original members that were so much a part of all that was Eagles.

Notice how the eagles haven't done anything worth listening to since they fired Don Felder.

❤ awesome 😎👍 good songs 👍 Steve nicks favorite 💋😘💋💝 love ya Paul McCartney Beatles George Harrison ❤️😘😘

He was great, only, his EGO didn't allow himself not to be in charge, make all decisions and lost his position for Glen Frye. Best musician, ever !😊😊

Im seeing way too many people talking about Felder, and not mentioning Joe Walsh who is infact not just a better guitarist but one of THE BEST to ever play, and was peobably the best part of the eagles

Henley is the greatest lyricist/songwriter of our time- Never introduce Frey as “the songwriter” and Henley only as the drummer. Even Linda Ronstadt identified Henleys voice the first time she heard him sing also. That band is Nothing without him. Even Felder said the way Henley just comes up with these picture perfect “post card” snippets like “on a dark desert highway…” the second he hears a tune is extraordinary.R I P Glenn R I P Randy

I liked em in 70s I love em now❤

Thank God Hell Froze Over in 1994.

The original "Boy Band"

I only listened to the eagles, because im a big fan of joe walsh

Their actual break up was over the song Victim of Love, or better yet, who did the vocals. Frey and Hendly were notorious for not wanting to share royalties. Even with Schmidt and Walsh. Interesting and disturbing at the same time.

Don & Glenn would argue with & treat Randy & Don Felder terribly... I was so shocked over it. I lost a little respect for both of them, I didn't dislike them, but wanted to be the boss & what you guys say & no one else matters.

Hendley is a POS, I hold Frey a little higher but most of the group suffered because Frey and Hendley cheated all the rest out of the big money

Don Felder left the Eagles in 1980 The Long Run Tour ,I was there when Glenn Fry and Don Felder got into a knock down drag out Fight on Stage

Felder didn't care about being political like Frey did. He just wanted to play music. Hard to fault the guy..

how come men back in the 70's were so easily slimmer in built?

Sad mistreatment of the other members of The Eagles by Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. It was intentional, and did undo justice as each member added their own personal touch/ style to the band. Greed makes people do things that they wouldn’t necessarily do under normal circumstances. I think it’s wonderful that they wanted to reach for the stars, and I truly appreciate every musical moment / memory they provided to me as a music lover since birth. However, once a “group” is formed credit should be given to all, outside of the writers as that’s a different matter. If one is not happy with the direction of a band, then they do have the option of leaving and going solo. I know most of the members attempted, but it shouldn’t have happened in the manner it occurred. Egos often aren’t often something that you can control…

A pity they broke up, bcz they made great music 🎵🎶 together

Felder must've outshone them!

I agree with Felder they should have split the money evenly. All could have plenty. Sometimes I'm not realistic though.

I knew someone who worked around Don Henley doing some contract work.He was excited to meet him at first but by the time he was done he thought he was an assh$&e.

I heard Yoko sat on Felder’s amp

apparently everyone played with Linda Ronstadt in the early 70's

The Eagles is one of the best bands ever formed, just a cluster of talents in one group. I love The Beatles but The Eagles' music for me is more superior

actually, Felder was asked to play slide on the song Good Day in Hell. He was hired the following day by frey and henley

70s in Miami north Miami Westview Jr high Nanette n John.

New York Groove

I thought some members from Scottsbluff Neb?

BANDS DONT GET ALONG PERIOD.UNTILL THEY GO BROKE AND FORCED TO REUNITE .

I've heard that the Eagles were like a corporation kind of band, where Henley and Fry were the mainstay, everyone else was replaceable!

The root of their problem was greed. Henley and Frey were the only real members. They should have made the other three full members and split the money equally. But Henley and Frey thought they were better and wanted more than they gave the others. Kinda sucked. I wasn't impressed with them until Hotel California came out. Without Felder, they wouldn't have made Hotel California.. They owed him alot for their success.

La diferencia en criterios sin considerarlo originó la ruptura Todo por el cantante que no lo considero en esa toma de desicion de otorgar un concierto gratuito

The Eagles hired Don Felder to record a few guitar solos in 1974. He fucked up the solos, but they didn’t get around to firing him until 2001 (27 years later).

He wrote their biggest song.

Not really. Their music could never be outdone by anything. Their music will go on forever while their petty immature scrabbling will be just that. They themselves allowed it to interrupt for years and finally the normal physical problems of sickness and age stopped any further progress. Immaturity, drugs and narcissism was their bands choice of suicide but their musical genius will overrride their childishness, pride and life's problems and live forever.

The Eagles MUSIC FAR out does their infighting 😂😂😂have you heard of the Eagles? You mean that band with all the infighting?! 😂😂😂😂😂wRONG!!! Have you heard of the Eagles? Of course! especially hotel California, btw I don't live under a rock, my Son's are in their 20s and love the Eagles, and even know B side stuff, because it's all 🪙 GOLD!

Wow greed spoil every relationship. More money for their addictions.? 🤔

Didn't felder punch out Glen frey on stage ?

Everyone throwing shade at this or that person in the Eagles, when the real real problem was Linda Ronstandt, not having the resolve to keep them with her. Fckin Linda....

It's LA. What do you expect? Lots of ego

I remember watching a very long and detailed documentary on the eagles a few years ago...Glen Frey came across as very bullish, driven, egotistical ,creative , at times very edgy and unpleasant to listen to. Don Felder was pained by him as antagonistic and petty. What was overriding was the egos of frey and Henley... but then thats what drivrs bands to create and strive for perfection...drugs , addictions and overinflated egis always are their downfall though.

Henley and Fry screwed Felder! Total greed!!

Frey and Henley will always be scum in my opinion for what they did to Randy Meisner...Randy was above and away the most talented of the entire group and they took advantage of him.

In my opinion he’s a mediocre musician among some of the greatest musicians of all time.

Useless infighting and egos at play. Typical useless and temporary band crap.

It's because Henley is a prick, and he's only money driven.
