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

Did you smell rotten meat?

I <heard> rotten meat.

brisket!

Pecan Pie!

misogynist!

petroleum club!

in the wild: "hotel california" on the staples center organ during the second overtime of the kings-rangers game. (though maybe/probably they do that all the time.) (but it obviously propelled them to victory and the stanley cup.

you can check anytime you like :D

ha!

haha Ron McLean made a "Hotel California" reference (same joke, practically!) on CBC just before the game!

Considered posting that Stanley Cup organ-rendition airing myself but wasn't sure it was eligible.

No wait, I remember...joke was something about LA trying to stab the Rangers with their steely knives

and they did kill the beast!

warm smell of hockey pants rising up through the air

DON: We didn't have hockey in the little corner of Texas where I grew up. But like anyone who landed in Los Angeles, I quickly became a Kings fan. It's been great to take breaks during our current tour to check up on this championship run.

GLENN: We're hoping that the Kings will let me and Don be photographed with the trophy. I'd call it, "Two Eagles, One Cup", after a viral video of which we are both very fond.

DON: Well, yeah.

lol A+

Huell Howser visits the Eagles in the 1970s and then again in 1994.

let me predict

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS...YOU CAN CHECK *OUT* ANY TIME YOU LIKE BUT YOU CAN *NEVER* LEAVE?

"a lot of munchies"

"BUT, in case the man gets hungry, we wanna have it onboard."

Eagles in the wiiiild LITERALLY...several times during a three day camp weekend just ended. Take it easy, The Long Run, couple more. No internet or nothin for 90 or so hours, my longest disconnected span since 2001.

In the wild: "Lyin' Eyes" at a Which Which, followed a song later by some ilm listening thread synergy in the form of "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" by Elton John.

In the wild: Farewell Tour 1 is a bluray demo at my local Fr(e)y's. Glenn dedicates "Lyin' Eyes" to his first wife, "Plaintiff."

Well, yeah.

BAH-DAh-Dum *tish*

Add some extra *tish*s, as we're dealing with Henley here.

Henley playing drums is like antimatter to any concept of a "Jazz Fest"

"...yeah, we got Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones....and Don Henley"

In the wild: Patty Smythe-Don Henley's "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a massive #2 hit in fall '92 and the Donster's last. All these years later (god help me) he doesn't sound terrible harmonizing over the dated-at-the-time midtempo El Lay A/C arrangement.

In the wild: Value Village in East Atlanta was playing "The Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley, which is a seriously depressing song that is probably the soundtrack to millions of divorces.

I was riding back from work with a friend early this morning. We were talking classic rock and I learned he hates the Eagles but loves the comedy songs on The Long Run.

An amazing detail from this political story:

Ball argued that Americans had loaned out their sovereignty to public servants, but they reserve the right to take it back.

“So when that governor, that sheriff, doesn’t do his job, we can go take them out of office,” he said. “We don’t have to wait for an election.”

He didn’t explain how that worked, but in another video posted online, Ball argues that individuals can escape police questioning by insisting officers fill out a form.

As the Eagles’ 1979 Al Green pastiche, “I Can’t Tell You Why,” plays in the background, Ball explains that sovereign citizens can hold public officials accountable for violating their oath with the Public Servant Questionnaire.

Ball claims the document, which asks for identifying information and explanations of the officers’ intentions, must be filled out by public servants before they question citizens.

Saw this as a featured item last night at Wal Mart:

Wow.

A long time ago, I bought a cassette of the Greatest Hits of Bachman Turner Overdrive and Grand Funk Railroad, each with their own side of the tape.

But I assumed that A.) such a format wouldn't exactly work on a CD and B.) Styx and Foreigner have more than enough tunes (and fans) to qualify for their own GH package.

As for Don Felder, lol, Don Felder wat are u doing?

oh felderpaws

In the wild: Walking out of a Barnes & Noble to hear the opening of "The Long Run" positively BLASTING from the muzak of a neighboring Talbot's. Could easily still hear it from my parking space an easy 100ft. away.

"Lyin' Eyes" inside the new Savers that took over the old Wal-Mart. Buying some ant poison.

Spotted while perusing the newly archived "Real Life Rock Top Tens":

8. MTV: Decade–1980-1989 (December 24)
A two-hour tribute to digital editing, with talking heads both stupid (John Mellencamp, Tina Turner, and most of all Linda Ellerbee) and not (Frank Zappa, David Byrne, Roseanne Barr). Best line, Don Henley: “Reagan had a bedside manner for a dying nation.”

Ronald: Well, yeah.

Know what gets me out of bed in the mornings?

Chug All Night, Take It Easy Every Morn'

Eagles in the wild:

"Already Gone" playing in the guard shack of a parking lot as I was leaving from a job interview.
"One Of These Nights" playing right now in a Silver Lake coffee bar.

i tried to watch the 3-hour documentary on The Eagles last week when it came on TV at midnight and i was trying to stay up late to meet a deadline. it put me to sleep after an hour, although i was really just very tired, i found it interesting.

I don't have Showtime.

Also, I've listened to every song they ever released. Not sure if "putting it all in context" is going to do anything for me.

Seriously, this thread was like Boys State. Glad I went, hope I never do it again.

IT'S GONNA BE A YEAR, GUYS

Playing "Chug All Night" on the hour on the 20th

Celebrate with a FAP in Winslow, Arizona, followed by a trip to DFW to rent a helicopter to drop TP on Don Henley's mansion.

needs more rails of blow otherwise tes

yes, even

I don't think we've covered this before, but I found this 1979 Rolling Stone cover story in the RS Archives for recently posted for Charles M. Young (RIP). Our Zeroes are positively ON FIYAH throughout.

The Donster driving recklessly!
Azoff dissing Steve Miller!
Joe Walsh not brushing his teeth!
Glenn Frey on his 'Playmate Period'!
Tim Schmidt being boring!
Don and Glenn go to a punk show!

It's all there, and more.

I woke up this morning and Don Felder's legs were missing.
