A Good Day In Hell - The Official ILM Track-By-Track EAGLES Listening Thread

it's always time for gilmour/plant hotfest

Ladies, but Glenn is only going to be yours for one more day.

I feel like those eyes are giving me retinal cancer with just the merest glance at his horrible visage

Have we made mention of Don Felder's contributions to the Heavy Metal soundtrack?

Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)
All of You

Heavy Metal features Henley and Schmidt on background vox...sounds pretty good, very well could have been a latter-day Eagles track, and real talk even if he isn't as good as Henley, Felder is every bit as good a singer as Glen Frey, I mean why not just let the guy sing Victim of Love for chrissakes. What assholes.

All of You sounds like the Alan Parsons Project, which personally I will take over the Eagles most days of the week. Pretty good illustration of what Felder brought to the table anyway, besides the killer guitar playing.

More evidence for Felder's MVP status:

i will love Felder forever for Heavy Metal

"It's Your World Now"

finally, a mariachi song for old white people to dance to on their anniversary vomit cruise

well, it's the Eagles' world, we only live in it.

there's actually a christmas song at the end of the deluxe version of this album...

what a note on which the end the work week!

I'd do it all again/ if I could somehow...no, the world couldn't take that, Frey

I'd like to believe this is it: the last word and farewell from the worst band in the universe, finally leaving the stage with their roadies hauling off sacks of money. But they'll probably be back in 2016 with an exclusive 30-track download from Amazon.

It's fitting they go out with a easy-listening mariachi that sounds like something my grandmother listened to in the '60s. It's an act of grace, almost: Frey sending us back to a time before his music existed.

So gonna make a mash-up again of the Warriors final scene and this one, brb.

Aw damn. Got up from my desk and a coworker noticed I had a pulse. Guess I do technically still have a life. No mash-up today.

& scott, thanks so much for diligently finding these all these songs and photos. I can't imagine this was a pleasant task.

I was thinking this ^^^. Not one day missed since this whole thread began.

Feel free to set your feet up, SS. You know, take it easy while you still can.

he's already gone!

no i'm here. but i feel like i should post the xmas song tomorrow! i wish i didn't have to.

oh and this song sucks.

didn't we do the xmas song? it's the "please come for xmas" cover, right? There's another one?

one thing i learned is that for the most part eagles pictures are pretty much as boring as eagles themselves. so hard to find interesting ones. all the band shots are so generic.

Thanks for doing this, Scott. It strengthened my appreciation for some songs, and made me realize beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is Henley, and not Frey, who is the stubborn, disturbingly pungent urine stain on the toilet that is the Eagles' oeuvre.

oh wait maybe we did! i thought it was a new xmas one.

Let's remember the happier times. If there is one single justification for the Eagles' existence, it's this:

i mean i know we did the hole one.

Bonus tracks on the Deluxe Collector's Edition[edit]
"Hole in the World" (Don Henley, Glenn Frey) – 4:13*
"Please Come Home for Christmas" (Charles Mose Brown, Gene C. Redd) – 2:58

take it to the limit is a good song.

yeah, i think we did it: it's the single sleeve where the desperadoes are sitting around an LA swimming pool w/xmas decorations. pre-Long Run.

you're free man! walk out into the sunlight.

we need another Henley-Frey exchange

Well...

yeah.

(Is there gonna be anything left?)
Only stardust (maybe tomorrow)

What? This is finished already?! Well done you troupers, well done. Sorry I had to bale after the 70s, but I can't deny I've enjoyed the last three weeks the most.

Time to make up the real Greatest Hits.

I still hate this band only now I can explain why more coherently. Thanks Scott!

Time to make up the real Greatest Hits.

thing is, I don't think this survey changes anything. The only decent stuff they ever did was the singles. I can't think of one album track I'd promote over any track on either hits comp.

I've been working on it a bit, I reckon I could put together a ten-tracker, though there might have to be a little duplication. Stay tuned.

My GH compilation:

Journey of the Sorcerer
Already Gone
I Can't Tell You Why

Mine would be the same, but I'd add "Take It To The Limit." That way, it can be released as two 45s: GH Vol 1, GH Vol 2.

ok, my all-time Eagles hits comp.:

Already Gone
Witchay Woman
One of These Nights
Bitter Creek
Take It To the Limit (Etta James version)
Hotel California (new mix w/Henley vocal reduced to a murmur, guitars pushed up)
The Long Run
These Shoes
New Kid in Town

Congratulations, you guys! It's been a pleasure observing this from the sidelines and you all deserve participation trophies or t-shirts or something.

not having to listen to an Eagles song tomorrow is reward enough

omg pplains!

pplains that is awesome

I kinda fell off the wagon with the last album, but the majority that I participated in was super fun (within the context of subjecting oneself to listening to the Eagles every day)

scott you get some kind of major award for your commitment and awesomeness

a heroic effort from the start, scott. this thread should be in the internet hall of fame. and you should reward yourself with some vintage 1969 spirits and some colitas.

also i would like to request that the final two words on this thread, whenever it is irreversibly done, be "well" and "yeah." and then the thread should be locked.

DON: We're very flattered that a bunch of guys on the 'net wanna spend talking about her catalog. It's about time we got our due.

GLENN: Like the time you thought Stevie Nicks was due?

DON: Well, yeah.

hey all! we did it. i'll never forget the people i served with, we are bound by unseen scars we carry.

well this last song is completely fucking vapid and boring, a fitting end. this last double album was just dreadful to get through, it's pretty damn hard to make an album this bad. in a way i almost hate all these type of songs, the just dull generic shit more than the really bad stuff because at least the bad stuff ends up being kinda fun to make fun of how shitty it all is.

the 70s was fun though! they were really a window into a world that is gone now, the whole shitty curdled coke addled hippie dream drying out and dying in the sand, then having its corpse carted off in a private jet.

thanks bernie, don, and joe, without out your tasty licks i don't know if i could have done it.

didn't like the eagles before, not i can genuinely say i hate them. what fucking frauds, it disgusts me that this bunch is sometimes spoken of as "classic" rock or a great band. they are pathetic turds compared to so many other artists that operated in their general milieu.

still a few songs that aren't ruined, hotel california, one of these nights, already gone, but still looking back it's remarkable how shitty every one of their albums was.

fuck, man...the eagles.

well,
yeah.

get over it!

(lol)
