eagle's 'take it to the limit' intro pays homage to harold melvin & the blue note's intro 'if you don't know me by now'.
R.I.P Glenn Fry.... dead at 67

Rip. I love the Eagles
RIP
Hotel California was about rehab, at least that's what I believe. That's what makes the most sense. Either way rest in peace
Also, it was written by one of the other Eagles... can't remember his name (not Henley)... blond guy with the beard that plays the double neck guitar next to Joe Walsh in the concert vid. He brought the song to the group, thinking he would sing it for the album..., but Glen Fry & Don Henley said damn, great song.... but you sure as hell ain't singing it; Don's singing it (good choice of course).
It's usually sad when someone dies, but I never really liked Henley either as a musician or a person. That being said I guess I'd rather have him rest in peace than blinding agony.
The rehab angle is interesting though. I always thought the song was about a drug den. Especially since every real hotel California I've ever seen has been a sleazy flop house
R.I.P. January has been a rough month, lost some legendary artist
Peace to a legend.
Amen Brother this is a sad day. I along with my friends loved the eagles. That greatest hits album was a must have back in the day.
R.I.P Glen Frey you will be missed.
HNIC
None of you could quote me??? I said the same shit. Fucking unbelievable blatant shit
Oh, you said the shit about the other guy writing it? sorry man; didn't see it.
Edit: wait... I just re-looked at the thread, and I can't see where you wrote about Felder writing the song... you just said it made you think of the history behind it.
anyway, I thought Felder wrote the lyrics too, but I'm hearing that Don and Glen did and Felder wrote the music. In the Showtime doc, I could have sworn that they presented it as Felder writing it all.

Glen Fry passed away not Don Henley.
Rest In Paradise to another great artist taken too soon!
Exactly, that's how little I care
Well thanks for dropping by!
Damn I just found out he was from a city down the street 5 mins from my crib . 
Salute 
Thanks for the music and memories. The Eagles concert reminds me of the time back in 2003 I saw BB King both concerts were epic.
Concerts on the other side are priceless so much talent known and local kats who did their damn thing. You know folks said he or she was better than well known star here.

Damn man he did his thing. Salute!
History of the Eagles documentary is on Showtime West right now... in case anybody is interested.
what for ?
umm... because there are some Eagles fans on this board... which you had to have noticed by coming into this thread, and some of them may have wanted to see the documentary about a group that made some good music.
Good music????
Yeah; good music. I'm sure you don't agree, but here's the thing... nobody gives a fuck about what you think. ....but you come into a Glenn Fry thread to ask silly questions, because that's what you do (that, and comment on dude's dicks).
