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

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...

all she wanted to do is dance!

On the floor.

In the round.

This guy just left this Half-Price Books after loudly looking for The Long Run on CD. He was asking people, made them search the database, first in-store, then all of the locations in the city. Seriously jonesing to no avail--ended up saying he was going to eBay.

THE LONG RUN

Should've made him blow a gasket by going, "Dude, just get Greatest Hits Vol. II".

today's final jeopardy clue:

"Rolling Stone said this 1976 album had 'the best & worst tendencies of L.A.-situated rock' & was an 'unflattering portrait of the milieu.'"

contestant 1: (nothing)
contestant 2: rumours (not quite spelled out on his screen)
contestant 3: exile on main st.

alex: well, no*

*it's possible that's not exactly how alex phrased it

if contestant 3 ever comes in my record store, oh man, he’ll have a fierce rolling of the eyes likes of which he won’t soon forget

lol

LA-situated? ....Exile?

O_o

Rumours a good guess!

No sorry the answer is Greatest Hits Vol. 1

The answer is Dowse Myself in Kerosene.`

How about https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-eagles-to-launch-40th-anniversary-tour-in-2012-176670/

The Joe Walsh lineup of the James Gang haven’t cut an album since Thirds in 1971. “We should record at least four things playing the way that we used to,” says Walsh. “I don’t want to use Pro Tools and I want to overdub, because you can’t do that live. But if we can do at least four things new and get them on the Internet, I think with that and a cross section of the old stuff, we’d have all we need to go out and try and kick some ass. I hope we get to do that in the first half of 2012. I really hope it works out.”

Heh, especially with his namesake running for President, I thought it was Walsh’s ties revealed, not the event’s.

Joe Walsh has a rather decent tune on Sheryl Crow's latest.

IN THE WILD: "New Kid in Town" AND "Try and Love Again."

I like "New Kid in Town."

They're touring next year boasting shows featuring a full performance of Hotel California plus 'A Greatest Hits set', all w/'Orchestral Backing'.

TS: "with an orchestra" vs. "on ice" as the ultimate shark-jump tour shtick

The orchestra is proving to be a big selling point on the current Who tour. Unfortunately, it’s treacly, predictable as fuck, and pointless. So, while those qualities detract from a Who show, they’ll likely vastly improve an Eagles performance.

Well, there are loads of Eagles songs with orchestration already.

DON: I'm looking forward to going out on the road with the orchestra. We'll finally be able to present our music as Glenn and I had originally envisioned, but were unable for whatever reason to present as such, in concert on prior tours.

GLENN: We always had the budget for orchestras, but drugs, girls, Budweiser, and girls with drugs and Budweiser don't pay for themselves, ya know!

DON: Well, yeah.

Iggles and co.

i bet the orchestral version of Chug All Night fkn slaps tho

Chug In C Minor

Chug Swear Didn't Know C's Minor

in the wild: listening to smuggler's blues on the radio, wondering how and why it isn't a warren zevon song.

"i wish you peace" sounds kind of nice today

no one asked Patti Davis what she thought.

Don Felder is playing at a gun show/outdoor expo in Houston soon.

*Only saw half the commercial last night, but there was gun show footage alongside pics of Felder and co-headliner comedian Tom Papa.

Already Gun

Same joke, different thread.

Just Another Corona Sunrise...

how are Don 'n' Ghost of Glenn handling social distancing?

DON: Social distancing is tough, but necessary step we're all having to take to prevent the spread of the so-called 'Chinese Virus'--Covid-19, or the Corona Virus. I've been making the most of my time in quarantine with my family, reading, watching the news, and writing new material for what could be the next great Eagles album.

GLENN: Too bad this didn't happen back in the day. I'd be in Quarantine over in Coldwater Canyon with QuaranTina, QuranTerri, and QuaranToni with enough Corona to go around, I guarantee you!

DON: Well, yeah.

A+

don: fuck 'em and *then* social distance 'em, that's how i do it.

glenn: well, yeah.

Coronavirus... GET OVER IT!

i love u Grisso

DON: For a person like me, wealth gives me the privilege to self-isolate. And Thoreau's Walden, a book I consider a touchstone, is never far from my side.

GLENN: Henley, when you and I self-isolated in Topanga Canyon in the mid '70s, we made sure to bring a lotta blonde privileges with us!

DON: Well, yeah.

Loooool mmm yes such a great observation

“We saw a lot of beautiful women around Hollywood who were married to wealthy, successful men, and wondered if they were unhappy," Frey said during the audio commentary of the Hell Freezes Over concert film. "One night we were drinking in a bar when I spotted this stunning young woman; two steps behind her was a much older, fat, rich guy. We all started laughing and one of the other guys commented, 'Look at her, she can't even hide those lyin' eyes!' Immediately, we all began grabbing for cocktail napkins to write down lyrics to go with that great observation."

"The 'ci' and 'ty' came from two different takes, 'girls' from another, and each word after that from different takes," producer Bill Szymczyk later told Rolling Stone.

Only Teo Macero got more out of an editing room.
