re: Glenn Frey would have been 77 yesterday.....

He and Henley definitely tried to screw Don Felder. Problem was, Felder was actually a member of Eagles LTD (and an equal to Frey and Henley with each having 1/3 from buying out Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon; Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmidt were band members and "employees" but not members of the corporation). They ran him out of the band and had an undisclosed settlement after years of litigation. When Howard Stern had Felder on and asked him about it, he said he couldn't talk about it. But he hinted that he still got paid every time they played a show without him.

Still, the best story was right before Bernie Leadon left the band. Frey was ranting and raving about how they were going to do this and then do that for the next records, etc. Leadon had enough and poured a beer on Frey's head and said, "You need to chill out, man!"

Bernie was NOT like Randy Meisner. Frey would have gotten his clock cleaned if he'd tried to fight back.

Like you said, incredibly talented but a major jerk. But a lot of great artists (i.e.: Roger Waters) are...

How Felder was treated was criminal.

And LC4TIGERS, quit fricking stalking me and serial downvoting my posts you fricking loser.

Thats what kilt glenn frey!

Ironically enough, I was singing you belong to the city yesterday! I didn't even know it was Glenn Frey's birthday

Desperado bub,, come on be a man

And standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona

I think you mean subjectively, but I think it more accurately describes the "I hate the Eagles" crowd. They don't hate them, they're just disappointed that those ingredients didn't make something even better than they did.

I think the Eagles were a great band, top 5 for me but not my favorite. The documentary however is easily my favorite band documentary of all-time. It has a ton of original footage from the '70s including tremendous interviews with all members from bands hey day as well as current. They air dirty laundry, admit mistakes, and hold grudges. They have a lot of interview and concert footage of other musicians from the '70s as well. The cinematography is great and it flows chronologically without bogging down.

I was in my pre-teen thru the 1970's. I can hear the first few notes of any one of a dozen of their songs and it immediately sparks memories of a random summer day or evening from that decade. No other band does that for me so consistently.

I was in Bossier City for his final performance ever.
