Apparently Don Henley is not a fan of Wowee Zowee so it's all good. He didn't think Rattled By The Rush was the right choice for first single either.

Henley needed to smoke more weed, then it would have made sense. But who cares, he crested with Boys of Summer which is really Mike Campbell's song anyway. Fuck it.

SM was going to bring Bob along with him to play drums when Henley goes out front to sing End of the Innocence.

There is a reason that the Eagles' Greatest Hits is the best selling album of all time and it is not a complimentary one

@@DonovanFarley I think there is something to be said for your unstated idea that popularity (commercial success) does not equal artistic merit but in the Eagle's case, look at that greatest hits album- beautifully crafted country-ish songs, that sold a boatload. I just happen to like the music and the musicianship arguably is polished to the extent that all passion and imperfection is wrung out of it but okay but still to me most of the Eagle's music (or at least the period of One of these nights and Hotel California) are examples of interesting and catchy music (with usually lyrics that are not vapid). You may argue that you hate what a band stands for but that does not so much interest me as much as a real discussion of musically or lyrically what is it about the band's oeuvre that you object to.

Hey man, I don't know anything about Don Henley or Glenn Frey and what kind of people they are but they are to my mind supremely talented songwriters. You mention here One of these nights and Hotel California. Those two albums alone could've cemented their place in the world of rock/country rock. Along with Fleetwood Mac's Rumors and their previous album Fleetwood Mac I cannot really count many groups of their time with two consecutive masterpieces. The Eagles get a lot of unfair criticism I think and don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Pavement and of many 'more alternative' bands too...

Listen to more music. These guys just basically ripped off graham parsons.

@etamommy 3 жыл бұрын

@@JA-rc2jp I have listened to Graham Parsons and like some of his music a lot...Hickory Wind is probably my favorite. I can see the development of course to early Eagles but the Eagles are their own thing eventually and especially on One of These Nights and Hotel California. I believe Hotel California is one of the best albums ever made bar none. Even if some of the Eagles have been selfish or egotistical personally...so what; their creativity stands on its own merits, I think.

This interviewer does not like hearing the answers to the questions they ask. They just want to hear their own voice ask the questions.

The most annoying thing about the Eagles has always been that they don't suck. It's such blatantly cynical, watered-down Buffalo Springfield plastic kind of shit and the epitome of limousine-liberals, but you can't say in earnest they're lousy musicians and songwriters, and that's why they were even bigger villains than someone like Fred Durst.
