Dang I was so excited about this thread but I didn't notice it'd been launched til today! Got all caught up on the train home just now (during which take it easy played 5x, witchay woman 3x, chug all night 1x).
Chug thoughts:
-I like how during the verses there's like no treble information at all. The guitars stay way down low with the bass and it actually does sound kind of sick. But it's unusual to hear this kind of thing recorded so immaculately. Imagine if the first boc lp was engineered like this!-during the verses I do get a first 2 boc albums vibe tho not from the vox obv. I guess that fits with the steppenwolf thing too. -is it weird that this lp has two tracks in a row where sex changes your color? Red in ww, black and blue here. -this is nowhere near worst eagles song territory. Not with ***spoiler alert*** James dean and Greeks and hole in the fkin world in the mix.

I thought this, too! What is their deal with having sex to the point of minor skin injury? And using dumb euphemisms for sex, too. I really hope the next song has a lyric about bebopping until they get calluses.

Yellow calluses, if the pattern holds.

I hate to say it, but James Dean gets in my head at least once a week.
Reading all about that new Lindsey Lohan movie? James Deen, byur-nur-chur-churk, James Deen, why do you have to be so mean?
Those probably aren't the lyrics, but hey.

There are a couple of songs on Steppenwolf's Skullduggery (most notably the title track) that sound a lot like BOC. Of course, there are other songs that sound like '70s Waylon Jennings. And there's a jazz-disco-funk instrumental that closes the whole thing out. It's a really weird album.
― 誤訳侮辱, Friday, 23 August 2013 00:55 (ten years ago) link
James Dean sounds so much worse than you expect, even with the title. Chug at least meets expectations

I wish I knew Glenn Frey's phone number. I would randomly drunk dial him every now and then and just play a chorus of Chug All Night and then hang up.

this thread is insane, i love you guys
"Witchy Woman"'s intro sounds heavier than i remembered it, this is really one of the only Eagles hits i'd really just totally dismissed out of hand anymore but it sounds pretty good right now. and i hate to be that guy projecting indie cred, but i swear i can hear noted '70s soft rock aficionado Steve Shelley copping a very specific fill in this song:

BTW, the "Standing On A Corner" in Winslow is just a facade - the building burned down several years ago. It's just a wall surrounded by Route 66 tourist junk.

"Chug All Night" would sound like great sludge as a 45 rpm slowed down to 33 1/3. Also, nice of them not to finish the song with a harmonica flourish at the very end.
As long as we're revisiting "Take It Easy", I'll say that for the past two days I've been thinking "It's a girl my lord and a fat Rob Ford slowing down to take a look at me."

I'm drunk right now, but I'm listening to Duke Ellington. Turning him off to put on an Eagles song is a level of sacrilege I'm not prepared to experience and/or comprehend.

Songwriters: FREY, GLENN LEWISMost of us are sad No one lets it show I've been shadows of myself How was I to know? Tell me scarlet sun What will time allow? We have brought our children Here who can save them now? Oh, weeping woman try to smile Like the coming dawn Most of us are sad it's true Still we must go on Love was here today Oh the sun was bright I will sing you faraway Love is here tonight Most of us are sad No one lets it show I've been shadows of myself How was I to know?

"Randy Meisner appears on this album but was asked to leave the band shortly before the record was released. Meisner's exit was a result of his anger from being excluded (at Furay's insistence) from participation in the final mix playback sessions for the record, as only Messina and Furay were to complete the production. His image was removed from the painting on the album's cover, and replaced with the dog seen at the far left. His bass parts and backing vocals were left in the mix, but his lead vocals were removed, and new versions were sung by George Grantham."
