First Lemmy, then Bowie and now Frey. What the heck is going on? Do you normally see them coming? What's going on is most well-known musicians of the '60s & early '70s are in their sixties (or older). Besides, all passings are inevitable.

IpMan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 On January 19, 2016 at 0:23 AM, Nutrocker said: Actually, that was last year. As for Glenn Frey, I admit the only Eagles albums I had any time for were Hotel California and The Long Run (I know, I know)...the rest of their stuff was too derivative of Gram Parsons and the Burritos (among others) IMO. I admit I would have more sympathy for Frey if him and Henley weren't such assholes. Don Felder and Randy Meisner -to name but two- probably can't wait to take a leak on Glenn Frey's grave, and you can't really blame them. But still, fucking hell- how many more people are we gonna lose this year? I got a feeling 2016 is gonna be a bad one... Don Felder is a very classy guy, even with all the legal troubles he managed to issue a heartfelt memorial to Glenn and that takes both class and dignity. I doubt Randy himself will comment since he is suffering from dementia and other serious health issues. Even though Glenn was a world class asshole, he was still a very talented musician who gifted the world with both an amazing band and amazing music. RIP Glenn, may you find peace. Ps. The Eagles tune Journey of the Sorcerer seems both fitting and relevant right now. All these great talents leaving us and dying relatively young by current standards. I am sure the years of chemical indulgence contributed to these deaths as most things do come with a price. Then again, as Jimmy said, "better one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb." Very true, it's not the years which count, it's the mileage...always the mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I always liked 'Those Shoes' and 'King Of Hollywood' by the Eagles. King of Hollywood Well he sits up there on his leatherette Looks through pictures of the ones That he hasn't had yet When he thinks he wants a closer look He gets out his little black telephone book Come sit down here beside me honey Let's have a little heart to heart Now look at me and tell me darlin' How badly do you want this part? Are you willing to sacrifice And are you willing to be real nice All your talent and my good taste I'd hate to see it go to waste We gon' get you an apartment, honey We gon' get you a car Yeah, we gon' take care of you, darlin' We gon' make you a movie star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I claim special powers or anything. Many celebrities divulge their health problems to the public so their deaths, while sad, aren't a surprise. Also, I'm sure you're aware that the average life expectancy in the U.S. is 78.74 years. Nowadays, to die before the age of 70 in the U.S. is to die early; particularly if you can afford the best health care.

Don't feed the troll, Disco. He has zero sensitivity unless he's a big fan (Bowie).... I love both of those songs. The Eagles are inmy top ten favourite bands.

As you might imagine for a guy who loved his cannoli and sausages, Richard Castellano (Clemenza) died fairly young at age 55 on December 10, 1988.

Jimmy Bain, Vivian Campbell and all the other great musicians that played with RJD are all remarkable in their own right/way. RIP... Jimmy Bain.
