There are way much more hateful things in this world. Like Hitler, pedophiles, the KKK, corridas de toros, the dry law, mexican politicians, Adam Sandler movies, SuperHeavy, gangsta rap, brats that throw tantrums in public spaces or Youtube ads.

I use to love to get to the set position  for Peaceful Easy Feelin, it was in my bands set list, perfect song to light up, have a drink and put it on auto pilot.
Other than that, IMO, they were a girls band,
and I never got very excited about them or their music. As a cover band in the 70's and 80's, we played eagles music to please the crowd. Peaceful Easy Feelin was a "Belly rubber" we had 4 of them one per set. It was a chance to come down, give everyone in the crowd a chance to visit the bar, visit the bathroom, etc.
By the way Beast Of Burden was 1 of the other 3. That one was "Not" a auto pilot song though. Very drum lead!

I like Queen.  I like the Eagles.  So be it.  I despise Rush.

I don't hate the Eagles. I just never think of them. Never consider them in my thoughts. But I tell you this. They are charging way more for their Aussie tour than the Stones are.

To repeat myself, the Eagles always seemed the band directly opposite to the Rolling Stones.  All the things that drew me to the Rolling Stones - inspiration, integrity, depth, soul, influences, talent, musicianship, knowledge, growth, sweat, actual good songs - the Eagles thing seems to be almost deliberately against all of that. 

My naive belief in joining these Rolling Stones boards, dedicated to a band that hasn't put a decent out in 30+ years, was that there was some discerning taste regarding rock music, based on what was and what is.  You were someone I could discuss music with, learn from.  That was true for the most part, and it happened in spades. 

So what is an Eagles fan doing here?   What don't you Eagles fans like? List that out.  What is the point of caring about rock music, if you are an Eagles fan?

I was careful to insert the comment about no decent albums in 30 years, to limit my overall comment to the great characteristics of the Rolling Stones (best band ever?) in certain albums, and to avoid precisely your type of rebuttal post.  Yes, I know they are a ripoff act now, and have been for a long time.

If you feel that way in totality about the Rolling Stones (best band ever?) why have you been a regular for so long?  I'm not being demeaning, but sounds like you need an Eagles board.  It appears there are a lot of people here who could point you to one!

The Eagles, for fucking Christ's sakes.  There was a time this board would have been all over this.  Those days, like the Stones' best days, are moof.

for good prog, try king crimson from 1973 (when bruford got in) till nowadays - which is bound to be completely nuts, what with fripp teaming with mel collins (sax player from the 1970-72 bands), the dude from 21st century schizoid band (a band comprised of '69-72 kc members playing the old tunes) replacing adrian belew on guitar and vocals, good old tony levin and THREE drummers. fripp may be a tool, but he's got a good knack for doing good music, especially if you like codeine.

sorry for the bad english but i'm a brazilian and i'm too lazy to use capital letters. on occasion. ummm, yeah.


the eagles? just heard that hotel california song and heard everybody and their mother in the world saying they suck so why bother trying em? can anybody give me a good reason?

Is Best of My Love the song that Eagle types hold out as exemplar, Joey?  I thought it was New Kid in Town?  I'm just pointing that out to you, as a friend.

Warm stench of ecolepiss rising up in the air, pink champagne on ice - I like all that Satan stuff, must admit.  Eagle beef!  Beef eagle monger.  Are you an Eagle monger, Joey?  Do you make it a mission to flog the Eagles?  We are all brothers under the skin, we must learn to respect the stupid opinions of inferior human beings.

Moof, moofie, Magoo?  Twango!  Bango twango!

"  I thought it was New Kid in Town?  I'm just pointing that out to you, as a friend.  "

It wouldve been polite if that band had told the world 'look, there's been a mistake...we suck. We are not worth a tenth of the vinyl you are printing our shitty songs on.'

I would have had respect for that. But they chose a different path and decided it would be a great idea to bore everyone to death with their crap.

So the correct answer is obviously the first one.

" To repeat myself, the Eagles always seemed the band directly opposite to the Rolling Stones.  All the things that drew me to the Rolling Stones - inspiration, integrity, depth, soul, influences, talent, musicianship, knowledge, growth, sweat, actual good songs - the Eagles thing seems to be almost deliberately against all of that.

the plan is in the works....

moonie, is this your kid?

The Eagles are neither here nor there. I reckon they're the template for all those current alt country/"roots" bands like Tryin Adams, Jason Isbell, Iron and Whine, and all those very sincere young dudes with ironic beards, plaid flannel shirts, spectacles that they don't need, acoustic guitars and the occasional banjo or fiddle or doodley-doodley Clapton-esque guitar lead, and lyrics concerning heartache and vague notions of society's ills.

The Eagles actually sound very contemporary. They should sell millions of downloads.

At McDonald's, the same delicious burger that boasts equal amounts of American ingenuity and collaborative content as "Take It Easy" has passed the 100 Billion mark. In fact it no longer tracks sales in the millions as the Eagles Corp does...

This leaves us placing the Eagles onto a world stage they have yet to earn through marketing, hard work and greasy up-sales.

[ Thank Edith and Mr. Pleasant  ]  :

I like to sing along with the Eagles when I hear them on the radio, they have some good songs and good harmonies, some clever lyrics here and there.
'You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'   

'seems like every form of refuge has its price, you cant hide your lying eyes'

'you may lose or you may win, but you will never be here again, so open up I'm climbing in' That's hot!

and my favorite, Life in the fast Lane! They didn't care they were just dying to get off! Everything, all the time...lines in the mirror, lines on their face, they pretended not to notice...surely make you lose your mind!

***************  " SIGH !!!! "  ****************


The Following Moonie   ......


The FOLLOWING !!!!!  :



" Late in 1975, Henley became involved with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, a relationship that made headlines.  "

" Nicks had begun her singing career in San Francisco in the late sixties, met guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and moved with him to Los Angeles, where they tried to break into the new spawning ground for mainstream rock. In 1975, they met drummer Mick Fleetwood, shortly thereafter joined him in the tenth configuration of his group, and recorded the groundbreaking Fleetwood Mac . Released on Warner/Reprise in August of 1975, it charted for over a year and sent the band on the road for an extended tour.



One night, Henley, long an admirer and aware of the competition between the two bands for best-selling album of the year, decided to pick up the phone and call Nicks, even though they'd never ment or talked to each other before. The two hit it off, and a series of intense wherever-you-are-I'll-find-you calls ensued, during which they commiserated on the loneliness of the long-distance rock-star lifestyle. Henley, still full of Rodkin, found a sympathetic soul in Nicks, who'd recently split from Buckingham. How much worse off was she, Nicks asked Henley, having to perform with her ex every night?



Inevitably, the two groups played the same cities. Knowing Henley was planning to make an appearance backstage one night, Mick Fleetwood and John and Christine McVie of the Mac decided to play a little joke on Nicks by sending her a bouquet of flowers with a card "signed" by Henley that read, "The Best of My Love...Tonight? Don..." A highly offended Nicks fumed over what she considered Henley's arrogance, until he convinced her he had nothing to do with the prank. The two then began a serious two-year affair.



Nicks remembered it this way. "When Lindsey and I broke up during Rumours , I started going out with Don...He was really cute, and he was elegant. Don taught me how to spend money. I just watched him, that's how. He didn't visibly set out to do that. I just watched him. He was okay with, say, buying a house [just] like that, or sending a Lear jet to pick you up.



"He is sexy. He's such an interesting guy. Here's one thing that Don did that freaked my band out so much. We were all in Miami, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. They're recording at this gorgeous house they'd rented on the water. It's totally romantic, like Mar-a-lago. Anyway, he sends a limousine driver to our hotel with a box of presents for me, and they delivered it right into the breakfast room where everyone's eating. There's a stereo, a bunch of fabulous records. There's incredible flowers and fruits, beautiful... The limousine driver is taking all this out onto the table, and I'm going 'Oh, please, please, this is not going to go down well.' And they want to know who it's from. And Lindsey is not happy... So I went out with Don for a while. I went out with J.D. Souther for a while [as well]. We had an incredible time. Those Eagles were an interesting group of guys."

She became pregnant, and neither doubted Henley was the father. The "situation" was resolved quickly and quietly when Nicks, between tour dates, had an abortion. Although Henley did not try to force the issue, according to friends, she was deeply upset about what she considered his fast and easy consent to her decision. Nicks took it as Henley's way of saying he wasn't intersted in any type of serious long-term commitment. As had become his pattern, in the beginning Henley played the ultimate Southern-charm gentleman -- flowers, phone calls, words of love, Lear jets to Paris for romantic dinners. In the end he was distant, unreachable, brooding, argumentative, and elusive. It was a pattern by now so familiar to the Eagles crew it had become a running joke. Henley's favored method of seduction became to be known as "Love 'em and Lear 'em".

Years later, Henley had this to say about his affair with Nicks: "[Stevie had] named the unborn kid Sara, and she had an abortion." She then wrote the song of the same name (which became a huge hit for her) and, according to Henley, dedicated it "to the spirit of the aborted baby".

Page 168

(Note: They're talking about how the band changed after Hotel California .)



It was a feeling that couldn't have been helped when Rolling Stone published the results of its second Annual Readers' Poll, and the Artist of the Year award went to the Eagles' chief competitiors, Fleetwood Mac. Runners-up included Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Peter Frampton, and Stevie Wonder. Male Vocalist went to James Taylor, who beat out Jackson Browne. Female Vocalist went to Linda Ronstadt, with Stevie Nicks coming in second. "Dreams", Fleetwood Mac's hit single off their Rumours album, beat out "Hotel California" (second) for Best Single of the Year. Band of the Year also went to Mac, the Eagles again coming in second. Rolling Stone's poll accurately reflected the difference between the popularity of the Eagles and Fleetwood mac. The British-American group would always have a broader if less intense following. Quite simply, the presence of Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie was what seperated the men from the boys. The eagles' primary audience ranged across the board, if more single male adolescent than boomer couples. If Mac also "aged" more gracefully, it was because the music it made came from the real-life drama of its romantic relationships, while the songs of the Eagles seemed by comparison to come from loners, not-so-young men acting like teenage boys still on the sexual make  "

You give the Eagles too much credit...Irving Azoff decided on rock becoming corporate...the Eagles were a willing vessel

No cats were harmed during the transition from Rock n Roll to Safe n Sane

So you got your own Eagles thread Joey.  Well done, my friend.  Well done.  They will come here like mothballs to a flame.  Like urchins to a soup line.  Like little sperms to caviar.  You can build here, Joey.  Build a solid foundation for setting the record straight about the Eagles and their music.  Pomeranian style!

Woman Stabs Roommate for Refusing to Stop Listening to The Eagles

Police in South Carolina arrested a North Charleston woman Monday night after she allegedly stabbed her roommate multiple times for refusing to stop playing music by the classic rock band The Eagles.

According to the official report, Vernett Bader, 54, became irritated with her 64-year-old roommate (and one-time boyfriend) after he rejected her pleas to turn off the Eagles and told her to "shut up."

Bader then entered the kitchen and grabbed a serrated knife, which she subsequently used to stab her roommate several times in the arm, hand, and elbow.

The roommate and his brother managed to wrestle the knife away from Bader, but she quickly retrieved another from the kitchen.

All three were intoxicated at the time, per the report.

It's unclear which of the band's songs drove Bader over the edge, but police have narrowed down the possible suspects to "Witchy Woman," "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Take It to the Limit," "One of These Nights," "Tequila Sunrise," and "Hotel California" on repeat.

Bader confessed to the crime, but claimed it was an act of self-defense to counter her roommate's choking.

Investigators say Bader did not have any visible marks on her neck.

Police charged Bader with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature and she was booked into the Charleston County jail, where she remained held as of this afternoon.

!!!!!!!!!

sirmoonie, we know that the Eagles are not a good band. It doesn't matter if they are popular. Jesus is popular. Mel Gibson's Passion of The Christ is popular. Just let it go.

So Jesus, Gibson and the Eagles have something in common. And the Beatles and sex are popular too. It depends on how they are represented by the media. For instance, the oldest of my nephews, who wants to study music, says he doesn't know who the Beatles are. And they always have they nose close to their stupid i-phone machines. Why is that? Because the media is causing people to stop thinking.

We still need a political thread. That would be entertaining. I miss Riffhard, and I'm a bit drunk.
