the more you know...

"hey, i wonder who invented the first commercial drum loop."

"oh, that would have been Albhy Galuten."

I know him as the Bee Gees' keyboardist.

Ditto

or "Sympathy For a Groupie." playing in 3/4 is a means for the Eagles to swing even less than usual. Henley's voice isn't really suited for this: again, Frey's weaselly tone would've been a better fit, maybe. & what is going on with the cymbals? You can imagine a coked-up Henley in the booth with Syzmczyk: "more on the high end! more on the high end!"

i am a sucker for a waltz & I mostly like it but yeah, what is going in with the cymbals. maybe a kitten got into the studio?

!

Due to the death of drummer Dennis Byron's mother in the middle of the song's sessions, the group first looked for a replacement. The shortage of qualified drummers in this area of France prompted the group to try a drum machine—yet it did not offer satisfactory results. After listening to the drum track of the already-recorded "Night Fever", the group and producer Albhy Galuten selected two bars from that track, re-recorded them as a recurrent loop on a separate tape, and proceeded with sessions for "Stayin' Alive". This accounts for the unchanging rhythm throughout the song.

As a joke, the group listed the drummer as "Bernard Lupe" (a takeoff on session drummer Bernard Purdie). Mr. Lupe became a highly sought-after drummer—until it was discovered that he did not exist.

Ha, that's hilarious.

hahaha! they should call that move the lupe shuffle

i didn't hate this song, and kinda liked the cymbal bonanza but i like cymbals a lot

Yeah, Frey would've been better. Eagles already have these bad songs about poor young girls who've been had by so many men that by the time you hear "she's sleeping like an angel" or whatever, you could picture Frey standing in the doorway, shaking his head and rejoining the party while Henley's vibe is more "she's sleeping like an angel ... at least she is right now" and then the door closes.

omigod get ready guys

Glenn Frey slowly turning into Rocky Dennis in that pic.

poor Tim Schmidt: "I've made it: big leagues at last!" next year they break up.

Couldn't find a page that wasn't promoting the documentary with that photo.

DId learn, unsurprisingly, that Frey sure loved that jacket.

^ Just $245. Almost as much as a concert ticket.

But more entertaining and animated than an Eagles concert.

Also lol

"The Hollywood Waltz": Yeah, this would have been a better Glenn song. Nice ornamental mandolin from Bernie. WTF cymbal crashes from the Donster. Overall just a weigh station to the majesty of tomorrow's track.

Yeah tomorrow makes up for a lot.

i have no idea what it could be
there's majesty in the eagles?

I read ahead on wikipedia, and I can honestly say I am intrigued.

It feels wrong to say that about the Eagles, though.

i still want your expert take on those crashing cymbals on this song today!

Thread's lost me I'm afraid. I listened to this one a few times, and nothing. Then I get here to find football players. I'll stick around to see what tomorrow's majesty is, then see how it is from there.

One hint: don't forget your towel

Don't panic

"WHAT? YOU WANT THE CYMBALS HIGHER IN THE MIX? HOW BOUT THAT, HENLEY? DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU?"
