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

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?

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.

i hate henley's white goatee/dyed hair combo

huge lol at this

huge lol also at this being something to spark a revival for the forum (which i had no idea was still standing tbh) - were they missing many bookings cuz ppl were asking 'what eagles album you guys got on yr roof?'

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.

Wait'll he finds out those chicks aren't packing 'Eagle Nests' downstairs anymore.

xxpost on good authority Felder tipped them off

Now we really know what happened next in the narrative of the "Sexy Girl" video after the track faded.

Eagles in the wild: "Tequila Sunrise" playing at the sales conference I am currently being held hostage at. Fuck everything about this situation.

COMMENTS SECTION MEGAMIX

He purchased the January 2014 issue of XL Girls Magazine featuring Sofia Rose on the cover. The DVD included was Large Lovin' by The SCORE Group.
He likes them big, ALL Plump - All Stacked - All Natural

Its pitiful that this guy, an amazing musician, great singer, one hell of a good song writer, a pretty good actor and someone that's used his celebrity to help others all over the world, and some piece of **** paparazzi hides across the street and takes a picture so that this site can trash him. What a waste of space this article is and serves no purpose other than to damage Glenn Frey.

Men who buy porn are just nasty.
Perv.

I feel sorry for the guy. We all look at porn. But I know some people will see this and think of Glenn as some old pervert or something.

Come on TMZ... you believe this is newsworthy? More like attempted character assassination. Glenn is a human being who has brought a lot of joy to many lives. Maybe we should send photogs around to "do***ent" the life of your photogs! I'm quite sure that they would look a whole lot worse.

Compassion-for-Glen-Committee:
Having sex when you're North of 50?
Isn't the same.
As having sex when you're SOUTH of 40.
Then Glen just snaps his fingers.
Every babe in Brentwood comes running.
Half-the-dudes.

I guess looking at porn is like listening to music, some prefer digital, while others stick with classic vinyl.

This guy is a complete douchbag. If you saw the Eagles retrospective that's been on lately, you will hear him say something to the effect of "we were bigger than the beetles." Really? The Eagles? nothing but sappy pop ballads. They would have been nothing without walsh and henley.

Judging by what mag he's buying, I'd say Glenn and I have the same taste in women. Well played, sir. The Dude may have hated the f'n Eagles, but you now have my respect.

F U TMZ that was a great issue. I personally yanked to it at least ten times...be right back...make that eleven times.

some prefer vinyl porn

Eagles (sort of) in the wild: I listened to "On The Border" today completely of my own accord.

the bad guys always win

Well, yeah.
