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

Withy Woman would be a miserable slog as marching band music. Except the part where the drums are cool, I guess.

I took aerobics with my mom in the 80s and "all she wants to do is dance" and "the heat is on" both figured prominently in the playlists for one of the classes. Both songs put me in mind of white hightop Reeboks and the aerobics move known as "the pony."

GF 0?

More like GTF0, ami rite

And for the record:

77 | James Gang | Funk #49

if this were a perfect world that song would be top 10

The classic rock canon poll is going to be such a fun slapfight.

as long as everyone doesn't abbreviate all the songs so I don't get confused about what we're talking about

;_;

Wow, both the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix did HJ, awesome.

but seriously, that's gonna be my new thing to get insomnia over, trying to find the longest identical set of initials between two popular but unrelated songs.

I wondered why there was a discussion about Ronnie Lane's "How Come" on the Eagles thread.

CLARKE: I got into The Eagles late, about 1990 or something. I started hearing them a lot on the radio, I'd known their songs but hadn't paid any attention to them in any detail. Then when I started listening to them properly, I thought, "Yeah man, that's pretty damn cool".

DON: Well, yeah.

vocals aside, about half of 'building the perfect beast' sounds like an erasure premonition

EAGLES IN THE WILLLLLD for my first time since thread start!

"Lyin 'eyes" on satellite tv 70s-rock station now playing while visiting with friends & in-laws

I heard "Take It Easy" at the local pizza restaurant on Monday.

Not exactly Eagles but the local hipster coffee shop (which usually never has music) has just recently started piping in Pandora or something -- on Christmas Eve they were blasting "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" and one of the girl baristas was trying to get the boy barista to dance with her. He (correctly) refused.

He was dressed in jogging clothes and carrying an iPod, which was still playing the Eagles when the police arrived. Hermosa Beach police captain Tommy Thompson told EasyReaderNews.com that police do not suspect foul play, and it is believed Pollack died of natural causes while exercising. He was an avid runner and softball player.

GLENN: Ouch.

DON: Well, yeah.

The Short Run

Somewhat of an Eagles in the wild sighting:

I was in the Whole Foods in Pasadena and their vinyl section (yes, Whole Foods out here sells vinyl) was highlighting The Wall, Adele and Gaga's first albums, and Hotel California.

Holy shit, Barney Hoskyns Hotel California is amazing--hard to say who in the whole cast of characters is the most awful

i would kickstarter a grisly tell all from behind the scenes of these dudes in the 90s. surely there are still guys out there working today who would spill about the experience of recording "get over it"
that would be super funny

man, what a sad death (mentioned a few posts up). The idea that the last sound you will ever hear in this life is "James Dean" is such an awful thought.

Heard a song of theirs on the radio on Christmas, but I can't remember which one. Hopefully my brain is selectively deleting memories of me hearing the Eagles.

eagle in the not-so-wild: don henley covering billy joel's "she's got a way" at the kennedy center honors. not a particularly good day in hell.

Shoulda done "We Didn't Start The Fire".

well, yeah.

Eagles in the wild: heard "Take It To The Limit" on the oldies station. Normally, who gives a shit, but it was part of old Casey Kasem year-end countdowns, which are far more interesting to listen to than I would've thought. It beat out "Theme from S.W.A.T."!

World’s Largest Vinyl Record Mounted Atop The Forum In Inglewood

INGLEWOOD (CBSLA.com) — Angelenos may know it as the former home of the Lakers and Kings, but starting in 2014, it’s unofficially the “Hotel California”.

The Forum in Inglewood has been fitted with what organizers billed as the world’s largest vinyl record in honor of multi-platinum band The Eagles, who will perform at the Forum later this month as part of the venue’s re-opening celebration.

Passengers on roughly 1,700 flights arriving daily at LAX throughout January will be able to see the 407-foot-wide printed vinyl disc – which actually spins at 17 miles per hour and was constructed by a crew of over 75 workers – in honor of the venue’s $100 million renovation effort, according to officials.

the sad after-effect of this is the poor sadsacks who see it and say, "wow that must be a really great album for it to be featured so prominently, I should get a copy"

(hopefully there aren't many of these ppl)

that must be a really great album for it to be featured so prominently

well, yeah.

and was constructed by a crew of over 75 workers

"Hey, I heard you got a new job! Congratulations! What do you do?"

"I...I'd rather not talk about it."

made of recycled returned eagles records

have we ever discussed how loathsome this photo is?

L to R: Frey's false, forced hilarity; Joe Walsh dreaming of margaritas; Henley thinking "God, I ate these assholes"; Schmitt counting ants on the sidewalk to tell his wife later.

lol "ate"

i hate henley's white goatee/dyed hair combo

GLENN: It's not just a fake strangling, it's an EAGLES fake strangling.

DON: Well, yeah.

for appropriate lols it should really be Hell Freezes Over , let's be real

huge lol also at this being something to spark a revival for the forum (which i had no idea was still standing tbh)

It's still hanging in there. I saw Prince there in 2011 and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

DON: For a lot of people, we lead a golden life. But we get urges just like everybody else.

GLENN: Sometimes even the best of us porks it when the kids are in school.

DON: Well, yeah.
