They have just done the Hotel California tour, played the whole album live

We got excited that they was a rumour they would be in Florida when we were there, playing the " farewell tour " would have loved to have seen them play, but they didnt announce a florida date

The Eagles were quality

A bit coffee table background music at times but great when they nailed it

I much preferred them when Joe Walsh joined but, unfortunately, he ended up doing less solo work that I really liked. Ironically, I went specifically to see him at Wembley when the Eagles were further up the bill.

I think Don Henley was the main man for them and his solo stuff was top notch

Dirty Laundry is a demon of a song

Not another one, RIP will be the most used abbreviation on here.

Back in 1977 The Eagles were massive. They represented everything that punk hated, the long hair, flared jeans, check shirts, the bland west coast country rock harmonies etc. That said, Lyin' Eyes, Take It Easy, Desperado, (a favourite of Lemmy's) are great melodic rock songs.

Regarding Joe Walsh, when Bernie Leadon quit the band he was drafted in as replacement, though in view of his own burgeoning career, they thought his stay would only be temporary. I think he stayed on longer than anticipated.

I always thought it was Glenn Frey, anyway the pair of them wrote most of The Eagles songs

Agreed re: Don Henley and Dirty Laundry.

It was a portent for the social media age

And a very powerful keyboard riff
