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

And he casually mentions in that one of his guitar students back in Florida was "Tommy" Petty.

^^Who later had a band with Bernie Leadon's brother.

Me and some of the fellas at work takin' it to the limit.

A bad day in hell: being trapped with Lyin' Eyes.

i enjoy the melody but the lyrics make me crosseyed with hatred

fantastic piece.

DON: Well, yeah.

thanks!

I'm happy that we all came out of this thread stronger, bolder and wiser. And we didn't even lose anyone along the way!

Listen, you ever hear me use the pronoun "we", be assured that it'll mean "me and the Eagles".

it'll never mean.

I don't need a Roach Ghost haunting me today, all right?

Love the responses from angry Eagles fans - and Alfred's retorts - in the blog post linked above.

I wondered why my stats were exploding two weeks ago: an Eagles fan site had linked to it.

First, you call yourself an author, yet you spelled ‘great with “grate” Are you making a cheese topped dish?

O Lord, I think Henley found your blog.

sick burn

Lol @ the setlists: http://www.citypages.com/music/jimmy-buffett-and-the-eagles-at-target-field-a-timeline/487077441

"The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" just came up on a random shuffle. Never heard it before and missed its day here. It's like a prototype for solo-Henley "Johnny Can't Read" and Hen's other sour new wave.

a day-ruiner, basically

hey y'all!

We approach the five-year anniversary of this thread.

whaaaaaat

good lord

we should celebrate by starting over again :D

^^^ frail grasp on the big picture

carved on my tombstone iirc

Well, Yeah

what would Don 'n' Ghost of Glenn say?

DON: “We are grateful for our families, our management, our crew, the people at radio and, most of all, the loyal fans who have stuck with us through the ups and downs of 46 years. It’s been quite a ride.”

GLENN: "Don't forget the ins and outs."

DON: "Well, yeah."

ug what a bummer

couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of assholes

Are we maybe down to one (living) asshole still in the band?

The new RIAA cert for the Eagles' Greatest Hits album is absurd and doesn't mean what most people - including almost every source reporting it - think it means. I'm a total music charts/sales geek and I could break it down in detail, but suffice it to say that A) this is U.S.-only sales; worldwide, Thriller is still the best-selling album of all time by a very large margin and B) RIAA certifications no longer reflect actual album sales and have become almost meaningless to anyone outside the industry. They're now a weird amalgam of album sales (physical and digital), digital singles sales, and streams. Thriller has likely still sold more copies, even in the U.S.

Yep.

good to know. that makes me feel better

in short: take it easy, everyone

No doubt the Eagles have sold more than the last time the RIAA certified those albums, but "selling" isn't streaming, and selling matters not a whit in 2018.

THIS FUCKING PICTURE

is Don playing bongos on his guitar there

GLENN: Not the first time he awkwardly slapped some bongos...

DON: Well, yeah.

Greatest comment I've seen about the Eagles today, on a friend's FB page about this:

The public like them because their lyrics are decipherable and make singing along easy. Say what you want about their other abilities, but those guys could enunciate.

lol

Hey, everyone. Pleasant Plains here with a new song from the Alternative Nation. Coming out of Boston, the same stomping grounds of Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, Buffalo Tom and Throwing Muses, here's Evan Dando and THE LEMONHEADS with their latest, TAKE IT EASY.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp8dh6n0t-E

heard "peaceful easy feeling" in the wild today. this makes me want to hear it again. evan dando should stick to suzanne vega, charles manson and love positions covers.

He's definitely learned how to help himself.

Well, yeah

Eight months before HBO’s Leaving Neverland documentary raised new questions about Michael Jackson’s legacy, executives at the late pop star’s record label and estate were pondering another unexpected -- and unrelated -- development involving his business.

Jackson’s 1982 album, Thriller (33 million copies sold), had just lost the status it held for almost a decade as the best-selling album of all time in the United States, ceding the title to the Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 (38 million), according to the RIAA. Though the two albums have jockeyed for the top spot since the 1980s, trading the lead five times, executives from both Jackson’s estate and Sony Music were stunned by the news that Their Greatest Hits had gained nine new platinum certifications in a single day from the RIAA for the years 2006 to 2018 -- meaning 9 million additional U.S. album sales had been made or discovered over those 12 years.

“After Thriller being the recognized No. 1 album seller in the United States for a decade, we were obviously surprised and concerned when we were overtaken despite all metrics we use stating otherwise,” Sony Music Entertainment CEO Rob Stringer said in a statement earlier in 2019, before the documentary premiered. “All we are asking for is transparency in the process so we can understand how sales numbers changed so dramatically at such short notice.”

apart from Thriller and the Eagles GH perpetually displacing each other, there is another thing that MJ and Don Henley share, which is what I thought of when I read the first clause of the opening graf…no doubt Henley has been mucho nervous for the past 1 1/2 years…

veronica, he's a victim of love

ha ha imagining the day Twitter is like "The Boys of Summer guy got arrested for what?"

Truly, it is The End of The Innocence...
