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

I mean, Well yeah.

"Get Over It" was blasting out of an apartment window in town a couple days ago.

BITCHIN A FIT

I have the first six Eagles albums on my iPod and tried shuffling them yesterday and was struck anew by the Grand Canyon-sized gulf in quality between anything they released as a single and anything they didn't. I mean, there's literally not one track on their albums where you can say, "Why wasn't this a single? It would have been a huge hit!" Everything that was a hit deserved to be a hit, but everything else was like having your face shoved into a mountain of rotting garbage.

Get over it!

Our knowledge was dearly won, Phil.

Oh really? Didn't know that "Chug All Night" had been released as a single. I'll have to look up its chart position and airplay when I get a moment.

uh

Also, In The Wild, A FB Status from Huey Lewis that a friend of mine "Liked"

Glenn Frey of The Eagles and I were playing golf at Pebble Beach one time. Scott Ostler, the great sports reporter in San Francisco, said to us, “Well, between you guys, you must have written hundreds of songs,” thinking we had a bunch of songs we never released.
Glenn, who has had a lot of hit songs, said, “No, I have used everything I ever wrote.”
Writing a great song is not easy. If you write 10 good songs in your life, you are a hall of famer. - Huey

Well, yeah.

HUEY: Well, between me, Glenn, and Ray Parker Jr., amirite?

GLENN: Bet I could find a place to park her!

DON: Well, yeah.

It's the nature of the business...

WHAT

THE

FUCK!?!?

I was this close last week to saying something like "Bowie's dead, but hey, all members of the Eagles - past and present - are still alive."

He died of a broken heart.

DAVID: As an artist, I wanted to turn my death not into a celebration of my life and career, but into a celebration of the lives of everyone. We are all lost souls floating in a tin can, and yet, it's by joining together that we make this mysterious journey into something with meaning.

GLENN: I know I've joined together with a few lost souls in my day, if you get my drift.

DAVID: I'm sorry, what was your name again?

Now I know how Vaughan Meader felt in late '63...

awesome xp

Chug all night, Glenn.

haha, griss.

Henley still has TBS, who's the Shemp of the Eagles anyway.

irl lol @ Griss

Timothy 'Shemp' Schmidt

so this means Azoff will call MISTER Felder on Wednesday and ask him to rejoin the band, right?

"come on, do it for glenn. he hated your guts."

too soon to make intestinal jokes?

loll grisso

lol

Warm smell of colitis?

so this means Azoff will call MISTER Felder on Wednesday and ask him to rejoin the band, right?

JD Souther, your moment is NOW.

Frey was a dickbag but he sang some a+ harmonies

^^^ should be on his headstone and/or should be the entirety of his eulogy.

I've mentioned this before, but in all seriousness I thought he had the best 'Country' voice in the band...it's just when the "Rock" part of the equation came to play the problems started.

Didn't we realize when we started this thing that when Frey lead the band with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner this country rock synthesis was possiblee?

One Of These Nights really is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, it's just perfect from every angle. even the haytaz upthread are pretty much in raptures over it. i wish they'd done more like that one.

he made Don Felder cry, the heaven or hell decision must be taken v seriously

Glenn Frey was at least partially responsible for this, so that's not a bad thing (and I fully realize I've posted this clip maybe seven times in this thread, but it's the one justification for the Eagles' existence):

They posed for a photo by the amps, arms around each other, and we exchanged phone numbers. I stayed in touch with them. (Little did I know, that fuzzy group shot would be one of the only known photos of all four original members hugging each other. Looking at it today, it has the same slightly surreal quality of one of those photos of the Loch Ness Monster.)

In The Wild: "Already Gone" & "Ol' 55" blasting out loudly in the bar I just served over Pub Quiz in...for my part, I spun "Heartache Tonight" between rounds.

Shit, and now "Outlaw Man"!

I was “Get Down Clown.” And Glenn, who along with Henley made a regular habit of charming the ladies with gallant good manners, was “the Teen King.”

lol he was named "The Teen King" for his gallant good manners yes

i tip my fedora to you, good sir

why does every other sentence in this make me want to punch everyone involved?

a natural reaction to anything to do with The Fucking Eagles

To gain the perfect drum sound, Bell often instructed the drummer to put a wallet on the snare drum. Wallet on the Snare was one of the working titles for the album.

Had to go back and check out Chug All Night again and

Maybe move this thread to De Subjectivisten?
