Ughh Glenn Frey RIP

[CMDR Perry]

Glenn deserves to be on page one, it's Friday night by God.

Ticks me off how much the music critics and the Brit's hate the Eagles. I guess when it's considered an art form by Rolling Stone magazine (Country Rock) it is for some reason not acceptable to run your band like a business and make some money. I never heard anyone whining about the Beatles or Rolling Stones making a profit.

I saw the Eagles live in concert (2X) in the 70's, they kicked ass and took names. DP

I second that CMDR!
Been listening all week to concert videos and interviews.

Great band for sure.
Didn't know they were not well received in U K.
Funny that

Cheers Richard

HBO re-ran the 3 hour / 2 part History of the Eagles last night. Great show and most interesting, i.e. their dealings with Geffen, no love lost there.

Only downside? I had a major case of Eagles Ear Worm all day.... particularly "Lying Eyes"...

Couple of guys here have stated that the 'Brits' don't like the Eagles. Well, that is a generalisation that is not true. When they came over in 2014 they added extra dates to the tour to cope with the demand:

Quote the Mirror: "All-American superstars The Eagles have announced extra dates for the UK leg of their History of The Eagles 2014 tour in response to popular demand."

They have a big fan base over here - and I'm one of them. Really sad to hear about Glenn, I only got to see them once in the '70s, they appeared with Elton John, The Beach Boys and Joe Walsh had a separate slot before joining in with The Eagles - it was a cracking set! RIP Glenn and thanks for all your music.
