They say that nobody is irreplaceable, but Don Felder is the exception to that rule. Big time!

Why does it seem that Don Henley would be about as much fun to hang around with as a box of rocks.

Glenn passed away in 2016 NOT 2006

There also was no Eagles without Randy Meisner.

Music I grew up with, THANKS.

Always been struck by the fact that after the "ego twins" fired Don Felder, the well of creative music dried up. They hired guitar players to replace him, and they could reproduce his music, but they could never create it and so they lived on what had gone before for years. It's the musicianship of Leadon, Felder and Walsh that gave the Eagles life. The lyrics to most songs don't amount to much without the music to carry them.

I love Joe Walsh and Don Felder, but saying the eagles were “nothing” without either of them is crazy…walsh didn’t even come on until Hotel California in ‘76, which was AFTER they sold the greatest hits album, so they were already the greatest selling American band of the ‘70’s before walsh even entered. And Felder was a huge contributor to the band, I wish it could have worked out longer with Felder and Leadon together because their creative teamwork was unparalleled. Leadon also doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions to “Desperado” which in my opinion is their greatest album

Felder had an iron clad contract as a member of the Eagles. He must have been given a boatload of dough in the settlement. They mentioned 50 million, I bet it was closer to 100!

The Eagles will Live on Forever in our Memories

Each time a gifted musician joined the Eagles, Henley was fearful they would take too big a position. Frey almost the same. MEisner was the greatest voice of the Eagles, and Felder the greatest guitar player and music composer. Henley and Frey could not take the threat.

Newsflash for Henley and Frey: I never listened to a solo album by any of the individual former Eagles more than 2 or 3 times. None of their respective bodies of work, in my opinion, could live up to the sum of the parts of the first five Eagles collectively.

Fabulous story of the band Eagles-thanx

The Eagles stopped being the Eagles when Glenn passed. I love Vince Gill, but he's NO Eagle.

Frey was a jerk

Sadly, Frey died from his emotions. He had a bowel disease that, in my experience, is caused by anger and stress. Or at least made much more worse by it. That did him in. Ego is a terrible thing once it gets out of control. Felder is the opposite. Not an angel, but he is still touring and looks great. Bottom line in the Eagles ripped him off. He made the Eagles a rock band instead of a country band and saved Joe Walsh from his drug habits. No honor among the thieves of Don and Glen.

Did you notice the common denominator in the departures of Leadon, Meisner and Felder? Glen Frey. A great talent but not the easiest to get along with.

Without Don Felder this band is nothing

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend also happy father's day ❤😊

Si Don Felder ang pinakamagaling sa kanila mag gitara sya ang original na lumikha ng hotel californa

Love the lyrics, love the song and atill listening now and again at 74 years young

There's no Eagles without Henley and Frey in the first place...they are the founders and the main co-writers of the band.

I believe that Henley's ego has taken a battering recently, with the lip-syncing scandal recently exposed by Wings of Pegasus on KZfaq. Just saying, you know.

Eagles fan since forever . Several details & "reasons" revealed for the first time. Proofread (especially dates) before posting.

Glen was ALWAYS MY FAVORITE and my late wife's FAVORITE was Don

A correction! All proceeds were divided three ways after Bernie and Randy left, Glenn - Don and Don. Joe and Timothy were Hired Guns under contract for tours. What the agreement was for studio work and Royalties has never been disclosed.

Glen Frey after Bernie poured a beer over his head would not dare to crack loose on Bernie as he would have gotten a severe pounding. I’m a big fan of Glen, so don’t get me wrong. I really appreciate this band throughout their career.

If you look at the videos from The Long Run album, Only Timothy B. Schmidt looks like he wants to be in the room.

Interesting their famous in era triumph of Disco,Punk and Queen.

The end of this is wrong. They continue to tour. Added Vince Gill to replace Glen Frey.

Don Felder n Joe Walsh wer awesome on guitars n Randy Miesner had a awesome vocalist

Great video of a great band.

Where are you getting your incredible footage

Maybe it was best that Frey checked out early.

In my opinion..Eagles could make it without Joe Walsh..Don Felder is a great guitarist and his work and contribution in Eagles songs are phenomenal..in fact he's my favorite guitarist for the Eagles ✌️

Don Felder and Joe W were the ones who made eagles famous.

Felder in dramatic and heated air guitar competition.

Glenn was 87lbs when he died. Cindy had him cremated within hours as she wanted no one to see his body.

Don Henry fucked up letting Glen frt and randy misner fight lost a great singing

So good love these people. This band. These were. The best years of. My life😊

Don is a hick celebrity chef know. I will be tuning in!

Someone in the Eagles must have been absolutely money mad....... guess who 😂🎵😂

Same video used about Felder getting fired for saying I guess , to senator Cranston back stage and Frey fighting with him.

. . .THANXXXXXXX ! ! THESE stories ( on My cellphone are GREAT ! ! ! . .WHYYY don ' t they show these on TV ? Instead of the 😅 piles of DUNG THEY show on most Tv NETWORKS ! ? ? ? I DO NOT GETTTT IT ! ! . . Dr KG

so sad i never saw them in concert. deacon was a great addition. miss glen tho rock on❤

At some point, every member of every band has to have a realization of whose band it is. It was clearly Glen’s and Don’s.

Sounds like a bunch of big EGOS!!

Don Felder is Eagles. I m sixty, live in Morocco

I was raised listening to the Eagles Thanks to my older brother

To me it’s shocking, I grow up listening

Joe Walsh is my favourite member. Nice guy, has overcome his troubled past which is admirable, an amazing songwriter and performer that made a huge impact on the band. He never had any problems with anyone in the band (that we know of) and I think this is because of his good nature. Felder and Frey had their issues but I’m not gonna take sides. I respect and love their music, we don’t know what really went on behind the scenes to judge. Plenty of people don’t get on, I’d like to think the fans can just appreciate all of their talents and not take sides.

Frey and Henley were a pair of cnuts ! In the Eagles documentary, Frey and Henley were taking the piss out of Glyn Johns because they said he was no good. Henley is still touring, but reduced to miming. Walsh and Schimt have never been full time members, they have never been more than hired hands.

❤❤❤❤❤

Don Henleys solo albums are great.Hen.ey n Fry wrote the songs always take the lead

The band hasn't been as good since Don was dismissed

I love the eagles, especially hotel. California and the first greatest hits. They are definitely my favorites and take it to the limit. Randy Meisner singing on that was fantastic. Sad that they all conflicted. I'm a musician too guitarist, and it seems like it's ongoing. No matter if you're rich or if you're just a bar musician to sane c*** all the time. Anyways. I love this group. I don't care and other conflicts doesn't mean nothing to me. Other than the fact that their music was beautiful. Thank you.

Nice…

If you follow the history of this band, one name keeps coming up over and over: Glen Frey. Glen's raging ego lead to Leadon leaving. Then, it lead to the exit of Meisner. Then, it lead to the exit of Felder. Of course, the exit of Felder also lead to what is rumored to be a $60 million settlement, when Frey (with Henley) thinking they could simply "fire" a corporate share owner (which you can't.) For Frey, the final ego stroke was his claiming that his problems (and eventual death) were due to NSAID use for his Rheumatoid arthritis, ignoring his 3-pack a day nicotine habit, massive cocaine habit and alcohol consumption. Glen Frey may be really talented, but he was a turd. That Felder essentially wrote all of "Hotel California" and only the last verse was added by Frey and Henley is a wonderful example of the fascist realm. We know this as his wife had the original cassette of what he gave to Frey and Henley and played it during an interview with Don and you could hear it yourself. Felder had to threaten a lawsuit to get his name on the sheet music (even though he wrote the song) and if you look at the sheet music, Felder's name is AFTER Frey and Henley (who didn't have that much to do with the song.) Ego and egomaniacs are what ended the Eagles. I'm surprised that they lasted as long as they did. Pax.

Fry died in 2016 after a tour that saw Bernie Leadon back in the band

Glen Frey died in 2016….not 2006

the eagle is very excellentperformance specially they sing the song Hotel California

Great!

graduated in 71

I always found it amusing that a Greatest Hits album is considered the best-selling album of the 20th century. I’m sure that works on paper, but it’s not an album. It’s a compilation. Love the Eagles but …

Before I even begin to watch the video I must say I simply hate these "ego trips" between musicians, that have happened within rather a lot of bands. All this hostility is such a bad thing that it spoils your positive outlook and feelings towards the bands or members you like. Such a shame really!!! Waters and Gilmour is another example. Even Simon and Garfunkel...I am fed up with these. I am a loyal fan of the bands that I love. Maybe I should never watch these and keep on enjoying the music I love so much. By the way, Hotel California, the song and the album would NEVER be the same without Don Felder. It is extreme stupidity of the ones "with ego" to "fire" him. Their loss. Period.

The 1976 Greatest hits album did not surpass Michael Jackson's 1982 Thriller album in sales.

Careful. Old Dandy Don is watching 👀👀

still think that being fired saved Felders live maybe

Unfortunately not only is Henley trying his best to ruin everything they built but he obviously does not care about the fan base !

Says the guy who mimes his performances in concerts...

Don’t agree with firing a member of a band respected by the followers, you simply don’t have the right. Eagles is only as good as the whole, no 2 members make the band.

Frey, Henley and Felder were equal 1/3 partners in Eagles Ltd. (was 1/5, but Meisner & Leadon relinquished their shares when they voluntarily departed). Frey & Henley then wanted to edge Felder out during the reunion and take a big cut of his stake, in order to gobble up more money. Felder defends himself from getting screwed (per the legal agreement) and instead of them honoring the legal and moral agreement - they fire Felder for having the nerve to stick up for himself. Frey & Henley were just money-grubbing pompous bullies. Azoff showed favoritism and is the manager for only 2 members of the band- not the entire band. Atrocious arrangement that just was totally shameful and against Felder. Henley couldn’t “Get over it” like he loves to proclaim.

Greatest American group of all time.

something some doctors dont tell you is that meds for arthurites are hard on the stomach one reason why I can't take anything with aspirin in it

Notice how the eagles never did anything worth listening to after they fired Don Felder. Karma is a bitch served very cold.

Tragic

Sounds to me like Frey should have been fired.

14:49 Glenn Frey passed away in year 2016 not 2006.

I am glad DF was fired. The Poor man's music was being pushed to the bottom of the pile. He came out with Heavy Metal in the early 80's and did some good work. He finally got some peace.

Don Henley's Eagles LLC.

3:01 cut to Joe Walsh on his Les Paul then .... DON FELDER

It was over money, and I hope it was worth it

Walsh the Analog Man goat and all.

If they ever open up a Jack Off wing at the Rock N Roll HOF Glenn Frey and Don Henley will be in the initial class.

Bernie Leadon’s last name is pronounced LEDon, not LEEdon

And yet they are out on a farewell tour right now

2006!! Really???

A great group with two control freaks. It’s called greed🤨

Eagles. Not the eagles.

Joe Walsh did not have any part in the writing and only the solo was added to give him a part in the song. The music was entirely composed from a small progression and then later completed and the added lyrics by Henley were added later in studio after and sure Felder allowed just to keep Henley from having and ego stroke. I was a huge fan of them and learning later how petty and greedy they were and loved how Felder was able to make them pony up 100 million and I think he even has a 20% share in the Eagles as they settled because they knew it was better to get a NDA and look like they made it right than to lose 33% and back royalty's, and all money. They were not like cash flush so I am certain Felder took less cash and accepted 20% as offsetting the 7 years back profits and still got a huge 100 million I would imagine that was in a payment deal not all cash as that was a lot of money. I grew up in Florida and the vibe on the coast was pretty fun in the 70's. I had a girlfriend who's dad had a room in their house that had bricks of cocaine and huge bales of weed. We would go sneak in and at 11 and 12 were selling it not even a clue we just would find a 1/kilo opened (in those days a kilo was always over so as to never be short and cause a problem and no one cut it. We would walk the beach on the weekend and had a igloo cooler and sold ice cold Coke and we only had one problem and she said her dads name and the first time I ever saw fear like that and the change in the tone was just so different... one second I was in fear and next I was holding my balls the size of a raisin like I was Scarface) We ruled that beach and we never smoked it or really knew what coke was... we just knew people were very happy to see us about 6pm on Fridays and by 7pm most Fridays we had the cash to blow on clothes, food, movies, and be able to hire a cab to drive us and wait... her dad caught us once and we just said we never used it and just sold it to get spending cash and he then told us the prices and said we are to only use the stuff he put in a closet that was overage as we learned.. they were not happy we now were selling it now at retail market we were way off and it was just so much different back then. we was not ever in need of a parent and I really do not know who her dad was but when I say room.. it was floor to ceiling.. in one side kilo bricks some were single and some were several wrapped in all colors. The other was weed in these black plastic and green tape in maybe 25 lb bales... but the smell of the room reminded me of roses and the first time I did coke it was with her and man that smell ewww cant you smell that smell... good pure coke looks like a prism of colors and when you snort it, I swear I was in a rose garden. I just would get this rush and the smell of fresh cut roses... I later after moving away (I miss her even today... Scooter

All their biggest hits were inspired by not by Henley or Frey. And when those two went solo, the songs were boring and tacky! THE HEAT IS ON? DIRTY LAUNDRY? GARBAGE!!!!!

Aren't we a catty Karen

Glenn passed away when??!

Don Henly fired Don Felder because they have the same name.😂😂😂

I admire Walsh for came out of druggie world and seems doing well.😉

Fielder threatened to kill Frey, and was fired. The End. It’s recorded.

2006?? research, you lost me...

They should have stayed a folk-country band.

Says Texas, shows picture of New York City. Also Frey and Henley was/are both authoritative asshole. You can see from the beginning. While I respect both as singers and songwriters. Neither have my respect as a human being. And Glenn Frey passed in 2016 not 2006.

Greed has ruined the legacy -
