gilmour is supernaturally hot
randy is cute!

well, was

These days, though? hoo boy…

tbf, his Eagles songs and solo career didn't generate the kind of royalties that would enable him to get the massive facial reconstructive surgeries that Frey and Henley got.

God, seriously.

earnestly saggy randy >>>> gross mean frey and henley
they cannot get surgery to make them less assholey

Put a swastika tattoo on his neck and he's Jack from Breaking Bad.

good point
really i'm not particularly committed to randy, he's just not as thoroughly repulsive as the other eagles

Coming off the last two tracks, I rather enjoyed this one. Idk.

has Henley had surgery?

Are the archives of Musician mag online anywhere? I read it religiously as a young nerd and briefly tricked myself into liking shit like dire straits etc bc of it.

they cannot get surgery to make them less assholey

otm. And if they could, they wouldn't.

They cannot get surgery to make them into assholes.

I can't make my face into an asshole.

I suppose that would be form of ostomy?

self-sodomy

Frey's slide guitar on this track is the perfect finishing touch of zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... something about that sound triggers soft rock sensors deep in my brain

Getting ahead of ourselves, but I like the wiki entry on Good Day in Hell:

For the recording of the song, session guitarist Don Felder was called upon to perform the slide guitar. Although slide guitar on two other songs on the album (the bluegrass "Midnight Flyer" and the mid-tempo "Is It True") were performed by Glenn Frey, the Eagles' new producer Bill Szymczyk wanted to get a more experienced slide guitarist to record on "Good Day in Hell".

So that finishing touch of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is basically what brought Felder on board.

shit like dire straits

Come on man. I was thinking DS would make for a pretty good track-by-track thread themselves.

You guys are getting out of hand.

Hard to understand....what a hell of a man

i think my worst case scenario for another listening thread would be, like, mr. bungle. or the collected works of mike patton. i wouldn't last a week.

I should have said "shit like dire straits' brothers in arms"

i will always love the first side of Making Movies. perfect album side. i saw them on the brothers in arms tour snd i was so stoned i fell asleep.

making movies is all great until it manages to completely bin it coming around the final corner

it sounds like a subpar Chris Bell song

very very otm

i've just been assuming all along that the next listening thread will be the doobie brothers.

but that would be enjoyable! at least for me it would be.

is that against the rules?

haha, i'm listening to a loudon wainwright album right now and he calls bob geldof BOB GELDORF. "even bob geldorf looks alarmingly thing..."

that doesn't have anything to do with the doobie brothers though.

no, no rules. but this thread is kinda the only way i would ever listen to all the eagles. i would (and sometimes do) listen to the doobies for pleasure.

god, i still remember how scared i was when the doobies saw rerun's tape recorder.

the four albums after One Step Closer might be kinda rough though. i've never listened to them.

i think it would be perfectly fair, for official thread purposes, and possibly for real-life purposes too, to discount any album released after the one called farewell tour. not to mention after the tour of the same name.

that doobie episode is all-time

I haven't seen that episode since I was a kid. It was much later that I finally said to myself, "Wait a minute, the Doobie Brothers?"

Just the premise that there was a lucrative market for audience-recorded bootleg Doobies is pretty hilarious.

"Dude, on 'Fool,' Simmons does this crazy solo! WAY better than Santa Monica '79!"

OTM, one of the worst album closers ever.

as for "Is It True", i'll take a mediocre, forgettable Meisner track over the more cloying and annoying work of Frey, Henley, or i'm finding, Jackson Browne

Doobie's might be useful for me -- I only just recently found out that China Grove was called China Grove, I had no idea what the song was called or even what it was about except that it was a lot WHOA OH OH, WHOAAAAOOOHH

I tried to sing it on rockband at a party a while ago and failed out of it because the whole time I was like, WAIT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING?!

that's nothing i just discovered that "Brown Sugar" is about slavery! via the miley cyrus thread. i had no idea what the words were other than the chorus.

God, yes, that is a horrrrrible song that should really never be played on the radio again.

It actually makes me a little sick to my stomach, especially since I uncritically rocked out to it for many, many years (albeit without knowing all of the lyrics, but I knew enough that I should have been like, "Hey... wait a minute...").

let's forget about that for now. i don't want to bring the thread down. look, funny picture!

lol

sorry, you are right! Glenn looks like an angry orc.

I can't imagine a sentient human sexing Glenn Frey.

red hair/white beard looks amazing

amazingly awful
they both look like asshole old men on vacation

his wife and kids are all really normal and nice looking. judging from google pictures.

the one guy in that Eagles documentary who looks better now than he did in the 70s is Azoff
