  1. Teams I like tonight are Minnesota, Nashville, Sabres, Kings, Islanders, Florida, Tampa, Sharks
  2. The "circus" that is on 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC and FOX
  3. Well the biggest fighting if you will was between Frey and Felder. Henley said in response to Felder wanting more vocals, "its like me playing lead guitar on Hotel California". How can you argue with that statement? You can't. Henley is a great great artist. Timothy B Schmidt is a great artist and he never "rocked the boat" nor did Joe Walsh who is also a great artist but he came right out and said "I could never write songs like Don and Glenn". I think "Get over It" from Hell Freezes Over was likely partly directed at Felder? Maybe not? But make no mistake about it, Henley and Frey were the Eagles for the most part. The masterminds behind the success.
  4. He likely did it thinking that it would have been Glen's wish? But I am not sure. I still love Don Henley, and Felder too. I also love Timothy B Schmidt who is fabulous. Its very sad news to know Glen is now gone. I never saw Glen leaving us this early
  5. Oh I realize that. I m only saying it was the right things to do and I am happy he has no ill feelings. Or at least is not showing them like Felder who I can understand.
  6. Sure Creedence deserves a ton of respect, I imagine you are referring to Fogarty? Lambda Leap is on the same page as me. They were the greatest American band ever and I do not think its even close. I will put Allman Bros and Skynyrd on my top 5 and maybe throw in Aerosmith and the Beach Boys for sure. But the Eagles to me are the best American band ever. The first greatest hits album is simply fabulous and then along comes Hotel California. To me that guitar solo with Walsh and Felder was magical. Henley is one of the best vocalists of all time. Jackson Browne did a great job doing Take it Easy in Glen's memory. I think Don Henley was thinking, what am I doing here with all this rap shit being played around me?
  7. Hi Esther. Blizzard conditions here. Typical.
  8. Henley and some others will be at the Grammy's coming up and I am taping it. There will be a tribute to Glen Frey and David Bowie also
  9. Well said. The above poster says the History doc turned him off and I get it. But it was more between Frey and Felder. Henley made a great point on Felder trying to sing more. He said, "its like me trying to play lead guitar in Hotel California". Well put! I am still pretty shocked that Glen has left us.
  10. I am having a hard time dealing with Frey's sudden death and I had no idea he was sick. I love the Eagles. Love them. Greatest American band ever. Period. Glenn will be missed by many and me included. I was lucky enough to see them twice live. Fabulous. Songs like Hotel California and Peaceful Easy Feeling an Take it Easy will live forever.
  11. Did anyone see Henley say he could not hit the drums as hard as Bonham? Or hear Frey say "I can't believe I am going to get to play where Led Zeppelin recorded Rock n Roll".? They had tremendous respect for Led Zeppelin. The Eagles were one of the best American bands of all time and IMO the best. I always loved groups like the Beach Boys and America too. To me the Eagles were top notch. The guitar solo in "Hotel California" is to me the second best of all time next to Stairway.
  12. Uh, I think the caucus stats? Because, THERE IS NO ESCAPE!!! That was NOT A POLITICAL opinion for the record!
  13. The History if the Eagles has been on often this past week. Its a must see in my opinion. Joe Walsh says he never could have written the quality songs that Frey and Henley wrote. There is the full disclosure of the fighting between Frey and Felder, and Frey and Henley and Walsh all have their turn at narrating the stories. Lots of old shot from the 70s as well as shots of their reunion days of post 1993.
  14. History of the Eagles. Shots of Bonham are in it
