The only problem is you can only get it at wal-mart, so I'll never own it. Eric

[Bruce K]

Not true.

It's available through their website.

That's where my wife bought it.

Haven't heard the CD yet. Word on the street is that it's getting rave reviews from old fans and new fans alike.

Thanks for posting this.....nice sound...good stuff.

I uploaded one of their songs to my blog...very nice. It's a double cd set which is growing on me. This song didn't need to grow on me...I liked it right away.

to note.. about 20 years ago don henley stole my date from me during the date. i hate that coked-up snot of a dude.... but sincerely find the current music to be soulless drivel meant to fill the mall with noise to drive you out of the common areas and into the stores.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Great story....we've all got a few of those....hey what's the thread you went nuts on -- I need a laugh!

They can play, they can sing but the album is really disappointing to me. It's just not grown on me. Oh well.

Let's face it....The Eagles appropriated a country rock genre that although uniquely American was not especially original or thought provoking.

But they do it better than anyone else...and I will venture to say that some of their songs are timeless in their arrangement and represent a simpler, some say more fun period in our great country's history........ :beer:

Besides, I have an amazing personal memory of singing Seven Bridges Road to an old flame many years ago on a summer night....and the huge payoff that ensued!

as metaphor... you can polish the value right off of an antique. you can polish something so much that you obscure the fact that it's vitality comes from its lack of polish.. which was always stark in contrast to its skilled execution.
this contrast is what used to give this music a quality of life and hum. it gives some music a quality of light and life.

but this to me sounds like a soundtrack to a valtrex ad. and it seems polished to this extent to make up for the uninspired song writing, so in that sense.. it makes for a lifeless disappointment of a record.. especially coming from such gifted and skilled musicians.


its rare for a recording artist to stay vital for more than a decade. these guys had a good run... but at some point... i think too much food bloats an artist rather than feeds the muse.

OK, I'll give you the whole success and age spoils the artist thing....but it is all relative...these guys write better hooks than 98% of the young bands out there today....we are talking a lot of muddled, incoherent songs basically (my own included)....I would say the Eagles are songsmiths in the sense of being very able to create some really tight melodies and interesting lyrics....though not too demanding on the audience.

[swoop]

i'm pro success! i think people tend to get fat and opt for what's easy, expected and obvious... and it sucks the life out. the recording budget gets bigger, more knobs to bathe the sounds in sparkle and before you know it, the magic is gone and the spaces are filled up with glisten. it sure aint nina simone.

all the songs do make for nice jingles.. i'm sure pfizer, kodak, and ford will come a calling... but i think lucinda williams farts are more vital...
:banana:

i'm hard on em because they're such accomplished musicians... but even the lyrics are overwrought and sentimental... and i get three seconds in and cant take it.



but its not like i'm saying you can't love em. cool on ya for loving it!

sofie.... man i tired with that girl. about a year later she married james ****.. elton john's keyboardist and current big budget movie soundtrack scorer (cha-ching)... who was and is a good 20 or 30 years her senior. i ran into her a year or two ago and visited for coffee at her house in brentwood. it was one of the nicest houses i've ever seen and sofie is still gorgeous, way too intelligent, and a wild child.
i was proud of myself for being attracted to her back then.. man, i had great taste in women. and lordy she so would have been the wrong girl for me... but i do believe henley killed what would have been 'the' night. its was a prototypical la scene at the olive... and well... my best friend died from od-ing on blow a few years earlier so i wasn't really into it.... and you know... the olive bathroom was columbia incarnate. henley had been trying to make the move on her for a good while and was better ammo to get james motivated into something deeper for her. i was a pup in a lions game.
i remember sitting at the bar while he fondled my date at the vip booth.. i didn't know what to do... so i smoked a cigarette and tried to be cool which (is not a pretty thing).... i don't smoke... so... that didn't last long.

its hard to have game when the whole freaking bar saw the b-list celeb roll you for your date.. and i still looked about 17 at the time.

it might have been the purple suit vest with no shirt and faux cowboy boots and torn to shreds jeans... in retrospect i took my fashion cues a little to hard.

Sounds like a masterful melding of Santana - Evil Ways with the Beach Boy's "Kokomo", with the corpse of Joe Walsh singing over it. I agree with swoop's assessment...sounds like they each recorded their respective bits in home studios, emailed to each other, and pasted them together on a laptop. No soul.

The Eagles have not been relevant for a good 30 years.

[Viper]

Swoop, how do you feel about U2. Talk about longevity, they're coming out with a new album soon...30 years plus of solid music (well they got lost in the 90's).

Hey and let's face it, Glenn Frey is a God due to this work alone :D :

hey, they're still together and have a bunch of kids.. its love. it has many forms! they're actually just right for each other.

Sounds more like a marriage of convenience -- but then you know better than I!

there is something attractive about accomplished people that have worked hard to realize their talents. sometimes people find comfort in a span of years.. its really for them. i'm happy for any marriage that makes it. frankly at the time love for me meant access time with the fun bags. so clearly i didn't have much to offer.

. . . but would like to hear more. This thread is intriguing me. BTW, Shanty . . . your assessment may not be too far off. We ran a story in our paper a few weeks ago when the album was coming out that they have not gotten back together for an album before this because they basically can't stand each other. Technology today--and their mutual dislike--makes your scenario very possible!

[thwart]

The Eagles have not been relevant for a good 30 years. Not sure they were all that relevant back then, atmo.

Can we say... baby boomer Eagle fans have lotsa bucks... and we need to make payments on that new place in Malibu (oh, yeah---the one in Nice, too)... tours are work... OK, album. Timing---holiday season.

No cynicism here at all. No sir. :D

Let's face it...most music is not relevant to everyone....it is what it is....sometimes a great song can temporarily change your point of view or make you wiggle your fanny.

The Eagles....studio musicians mostly....are a band that made 3 chord, melodic country/rock in the west coast vein....I'm a gen X and love music of many types including metal...alt.county...alternative...grunge....and can safely say that music is only relevant if you like it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOzyxYEpqjQ

While some people think music can change the world....I say....not really...the world is and will continue to be the same stupid, selfish, divided place it always was. Not cynical here! No sir....no siree :D

[bironi]

I have only heard it as background music at my office, but there was nothing that made my ears perk. I went thru the 70's, and the Eagles had nothing to break the misery, but some mindless background catch phrases. They blended too easily with disco, soft rock, crap rock, etc. from the era. Joe Walsh must have been really messed up when he signed on with this crew. :beer:

Thanks for posting this song . . . It's nice to hear Joe Walsh again.

[hybridbellbaske]

Swoop,

Your story reminded me of something out of Californication! Is LA really like that?

By the way, did anyone else think that the last few seconds of the last episode of Californication was a real bum note- and spoiled the rest of the series?

By the way, by the way, I've sort of liked a few Eagles songs,(eg Bitter Creek- country/grass "lite") but by and large I've always thought they sucked.

The best "Eagles lyric" is in fact in a Steely Dan song "Everything you did" from "The Royal Sacm" album where the protaganist in the song is arguing with his wife over her affair with another fellow, and he says in the bridge "Turn up The Eagles, the neighbours are listening..." By the end of the song he's asking her to show him "everything you did..."

The Eagles sure never got to that level of twisted humour.

[RIHans]

And the old Eagles Suck...

Well, I kinda remember Joe Walsh in his band, the James Gang. Those guys rocked the house.

Joe Walsh, post James Gang, pre-Iggles, opened for the Guess Who in my second rock concert.

I always had very mixed feelings about the Eagles. They did what they did very well. I didn't often like what they did. But sometimes they got by on pure craft. I still like most of the Desperado album but I don't remember the last time I listened to it. Most of the other stuff was ALWAYS on the radio and I got used to hearing it a lot, but never warmed up to it or bought any of it. And I grew up in Arizona, where the Eagles were sort of gods - they played Tucson pretty much every time you turned around and usually with Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt, who was a local hero. She and I went to the same high school a few years apart. EVERY guy I knew from her age group claimed to have slept with her and I think most weren't lying. One of my HS girlfriends was a cousin of hers. Her family's house was across the street from one of my best friend's places and her front lawn was all desert and full of desert vegetation, so it made a very handy place to get high and not get caught. Even though her family was ALL cops - I think her brother was Chief for a while. Anyway, the Eagles were pretty tough to avoid in the mid to late 70s around there. And I got a LOT of high school action to Best of My Love, which was pretty nasty because it's tough to make out and puke at the same time :cool:

Don Henley never stole one of my girlfriends. I always wore a mirror and could see him coming...

Very good interview with them on 60 Minutes tonight.

[goonster]

But sometimes they got by on pure craft.

I hear ya. But as I see it, pop music is not about craft. It's about kids pulling solid gold genius out of their butt. And in the Eagles case, the 21 year old kid who pulled that solid gold genius out of his butt (to say nothing of having worked and lived with Nico) was Jackson Browne.

As always, I defer to the wisdom of the Duddha. " . . . and I hate the [effing] Eagles!"

So it seems it has come to this.....this division, if you will, of all humanity....or mankind....the world....is made up....of those who like the Eagles.....and those who do...not....like the Eagles.....I feel that once we can make this delineation..then we can start to heal....as a nation....as a world. Thank You and God Bless.

I was a big Eagles fan in the 70s.
Desperado - Man, not only are all the songs CONNECTED, but its, like, metaphorical, cuz the words apply to outlaws AND rock musicians on the road! Cool! At 15, this was deep!
On the Border - Rock ON! This album is awesome! Already Gone - in high school the idea of having to "eat your lunch all by yourself" was devastating!
Saw them tour to support this in '75 or '76 - a milestone concert. Great date, really rockin', great sound quality.
Hotel California - Yeah, yeah, I get it. Its a metaphor for your lives.
The tour was the whole album plus greatest hits, including some Joe Walsh stuff. My date loved it, I was bored. I was through with the band after that. They were too popular by this point and I had moved on.
I saw Henley in concert at a Farm Aid in the early 90s. I still really like his voice.
Now I'm committed to consuming live music only.
The experience is more portable than crates of vinyl, cassettes & CDs and I'm not into the iPod sound.

I never was a big Eagles fan..except for when they ate squirrels. Liked some of their music, but not enough to go out and buy an album or hit a concert. Frankly I liked Joe Walsh out on his own better. But hey, that's just me.

How do you feel about Miami Vice?

Better if they did a joint episode with Blackadder.

When I was 12, I think....my dad bought "on the border" by the Eagles....so it is not my fault. My other favs from that time were...Madman across the water....Every picture tells a Story...the White Album...and Thick as a Brick. :beer:

This covers it for me as well. They were a little too much on the "easy listening" side I was more of a Doobie Bros. fan -- pre Michael McDonald.

That picture is creepy!

And so do I...BudE

Though I kind of like Mick McDonald's voice.

I like this one...No Mike M... for you!

Nice guitar lick.

One of my all time, best of, can't get enough of, was Steely Dan.

Hearing the guitar licks on the Doobie Bros. brought me back to when Skunk Baxter was the lead guitar player for Steely Dan.

This could sum it up...Ask William, He's a major dude.

I dug Steely Dan too. But that was another example of a band that got through on an amazing level of CRAFT. God, there was nobody better in a studio and getting their hired gun musicians to play the exact right fill. Has there ever been a tighter, more economical guitar solo in the history of "rock" than the one on Rikki Don't Lose That Number? Which begs the point of whether tight, economical guitar solos are the point in rock? To me, it always needed a little bit of abandon to be really great. Their music never really broke through that dividing line that separates art from craft. To me, at least. The Eagles did get there on rare occasion - to my ears. But not often enough and not on their later albums.

In this past Sunday's newspaper, Sam's Club advertised the following ad:

Eagles Autographed Takamine Guitar - (available only on Samsclub.com), personally autographed by the Eagles while rehearsing for their upcoming concert dates. All proceeds to benefit the Walden Woods Project.

The price ... $2500

I saw the Eagles at an outdoor stadium concert in Orlando, Florida back in 1975 (or 76 ? hmmm, not sure, but I remember it was the mid 70's and a summer night :beer: ) performing Hotel California. I was young, in the military, on leave with a bunch of buddies for the weekend, and it was just plain great to be off work and out of town for a few days.

I'm clueless how to download music to my iPod, so about 6 months ago, I asked the manager at our bike shop if he would mind doing it for me. He asked what musicians and type of music did I like. I said Tom Petty (now don't go bashing Tom for crying out loud :no: ) and some other favorites blah, blah, blah. Well, the first time I use the dang thing, I'm thinking, "Gee, Gary put some decent stuff on this thing." Then WHAM ... Hotel California comes on. Ohhh noooooooooooooo!!!! :crap: :crap: Talk about an overplayed song! He thought it was too funny ... :rolleyes: NOT! Guess I better learn how to download or take what I get, eh.

Thanks for posting this.....nice sound...good stuff.
These guys are consummate musicians.....enjoyed it!

I've been listening to some Glenn Frey lately. I hate winter and find myself listening to summeresque music etc. I was never a fan of the amount of saxaphone Frey injected into his stuff on occassion, but that said, here's some good stuff atmo, "People don't run out of dreams, people just run out of time." Over 'acting' in the video, but good words. When I was in TN last Spring, I had this song in my head:
