The Eagles documentary on Amazon Prime

ummmmm anyone

Hipster straight guys are always sooooo proud of hating the Eagles and their music. I think it's jealousy, at least in part.

As long as I don't have to hear a single note of any of their horrid songs.

What documentary are you talking about? History of the Eagles, Parts 1 and 2?

r4 yup

i love don henley

Glenn Frey was so HOT back in the day. Man.

Glenn and Don both sounded like fucking egomanical assholes-- especially Don.

I hate how the band did not riff or change up songs live. They play every song, the same way, just like the records.

Just a boring group of Boomers that now come across very overrated. I feel the same way about Fleetwood Mac- particularly Mick and Stevie- two assholes.. Although their music for me, is not overrated-

Don Henley is one of the biggest assholes to ever live.

Because of this post, I purchased it. Recommend if you are a fan. Agree Henley and Glen Frye (sp) come across as huge assholes, Joe Walsh seems like a nice guy who was out of his mind on drugs, and that Don Meisner (sp) guy had bedroom eyes for days. Woof!

^ I meant Don Felder, not Meisner.

R10- Agree- about Don!

TBH, I didn't see how Frey was an ass at all. He seemed pretty down-to-earth and relatable. Henley seemed like a stuck-up priss pot.

I guess upon further reflection it was just that Frey was really playing up his alpha-male thing in the doc.

Randy Meisner died a lonesome death.

Glenn Frey was so fucking HOT back in the day.

I never get tired of listening to Felder and Walsh's guitars at the end of Hotel California.

Don Henley is such a humorless fuss budget.

R7 They didn't change up the songs live because Henley was a micromanager.

OK, I did see Parts 1 and 2, a while ago.

I'm also about 1/4th of the way through Don Felder's book, but I'm not expecting much. He had to take some parts out via his $ettlement with the Eagles. IMO, Don was probably the most attractive back then, but he's had some obvious plastic surgery and he got married to a young trophy wife.

Joe Walsh just seems kind of pitiful. A man who "needs" a job, is not very good with money, and who had to be forced to get sober (but at least he did get sober). That said, he seems like the nicest of the Eagles. On Howard Stern, he eviscerated Stevie Nicks' true love story about the two. His version, in a nutshell, was that it was a situational road pussy type of relationship (they were touring together) and Stevie did help him with his solo album. He said they were monogamous for an entire summer. (Wow!)

Joe is married to the sister of Ringo Starr's wife.

Both Don and Glen came off really bad. I can understand why they felt entitled to more money. They did seem like the most disciplined of the group. They had the business minds (the show must go on) when Randy Meisner was refusing to sing "Take it to the limit."

Glen said: "Do you think I want to sing Peaceful Easy Feeling every night?" That was hilarious, but Glen, that song is easy to sing compared to Take it to the Limit.

Didn't Meisner damage his vocal cords from hitting all the high notes?

Don Henley seemed like he was on trial during that documentary. He seemed as tho he was being deposed.

Yup, he was so defensive. Not sure why he even took part in the documentary. I guess he and Glen knew that they wanted to get their side of the story out but didn't know how asshole-ish both would appear to be.

frey at. least seemed to have a sense of humor, albeit an ego. henley was arrogant and also humorless. THE WORK!!

apparently randy meisner was in some sort of horrible marriage where he was manipulated by a money grubbing second wife and alienated from his chldren.

I love their music. I always have. They just have or had a sound I still love.

Which ones did Stevie Nicks fuck? All of them?

Joe Walsh and Don Henley, r26.

Don Henley was the father of the baby Stevie aborted.

JOHNNIE COME LATELY

THE NEW KID IN TOWWWWWWWWWN

I know people who HATE The Eagles - hate them.

I loved them, early on - bought their On the Border album which I still enjoy, but man did they (Frey & Henley) become self-important before during and after Hotel California. Insufferalbe.

And then they coasted and coasted and coasted, remaining self-important.

R26, Don Henley. She wasn't some where, either. It'd be easy to fall in love with him.

I like the eerie Eagles like Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane but not so much the country Eagles.

" whore" not where.
