a good day in hell

is that at the 1/6 insurrection

I do believe I could CHUD all night

Security guys finally getting to crack some heads

Nah, if they learned anything from Henley, they know how to take care of this. (at 1:41:45) "STAY OUT OF THIS! This is PERSONAL! And it's PRIVATE! Real, fucking, PRIVATE!"

(ah, the Twitter picture didn't come up earlier. I guess they didn't learn anything from the Eagles doc.)

Reportedly, an onlooker kept telling the fighters, “You’ve got to take it easy,” and he didn’t even get punched.

just loosening their loads maaan

Life In The VIP Section

Well, yeah.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Curator Charged Over $1M Worth of Stolen Eagles Lyrics

Hidden in the margins is a treasure map for finding Glenn's (Eagles) Gold

100 pages of handwritten notes, circa. 1976.

- Toilet paper should be rolled toward the user, to display the design.

- Sunken living rooms should be no more than three feet deep, to preserve sight distance.

- Avacados vary too much in hue to be the standardized name for a certain color of refrigerator. "Philodendron" is a more appropriate name.

Ed Sanders was going to write about Jonestown when the Eagles contacted him in 1978. He completed the 900-page Eagles biography in 1982; it was never published. https://t.co/0dQanOqZ28 pic.twitter.com/Li62CDY9dC

that’s pretty fascinating

also i tbh for local color alone i would read Sanders’ Eagles bio

Me too! Can't find anything about it, other than his passing mentions way back when he was working on it, says the new album is real good, The Long Run, I take it.

i am kinda fond of his Manson book for similar reasons, not so much veracity as just local flavor & genuine weirdness - you can’t fake that style

"Peaceful Easy Feeling" in the Publix bathroom supplies aisle, of course.

Okay but wouldn't "Take it Easy" be more appropriate?

"Tryin' to loosen my load" could take on new meaning.

NEW meaning? That's literally what Jackson Browne meant by that lyric.

in case anyone has ever wondered what "hotel california" would sound like with the solo from megadeth's "tornado of souls," and vice versa:

what might Don 'n' Ghost of Glenn say?

DON: I've never heard of Pavement, but they will certainly be hearing from my lawyers.

GLENN: Why just "Summer Babe"? Equal time for the babes of Spring, Winter, and Autumn, I say! And even better if that equal time is at the same time, if you know what I mean...

DON: Well, yeah.

Ted Cruz tells a story about how he planned to go to an Eagles concert for a fundraiser in March 2020 until he got a call letting him know that he likely was exposed to Covid at CPAC. He says that Heidi wasn't happy they had to bail on plans. pic.twitter.com/e6zZbMHrJj

Obligatory "Well, yeah."

That's the most human Ted Cruz has ever sounded.

I thought Matt Schlapp was verboten these days.

"The Greeks Don't Need No Freaks," obv

Dude is like the GOP Al Gore.

Greaseful Easy Feeling

The Eagles are soaring one final time!

On Thursday, the band announced that after more than 50 years of touring and 150 million albums sold worldwide, their upcoming “The Long Goodbye” tour will be their last.

“Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages,” the band said in an emotional statement.

GET OVER IT

GLENN: Vince Gill started asking for more money, didn't he?

DON: Well, yeah.

We’re Thinking Of Buying A Fourth Home Tour

EAGLES ERAS

Hope the encore is both bands doing "Dirty Laundry" with a new Steely Dan bridge added to it.

We’re in our seventies, and we recognize that we can’t do this forever,” Walsh told Variety at Ringo Starr’s 83rd birthday party on July 7. The longtime Eagles guitarist says the band is emphasizing quality over quantity with the upcoming shows and plans to keep performing as long as fans keep showing up.

“I think people like BB King set an example, which is, there’s no reason to stop unless you can’t do it,” he said. “And so we’re just announcing that we’re gonna just focus on playing quality shows and slow it down a little bit. And we’re gonna play until we can’t, or play until nobody comes, whichever comes first. But they’re still coming, so why stop?
That’s the only thing we know how to do.”

The Eagles’ tour begins on September 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and currently has dates scheduled through November 14 at Rupp Arenanergy Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The band will continue to announce more shows as dates are set.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe, keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals, and setbacks of many kinds,” the band shared in a collective statement. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long-run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

Tickets go on sale Friday (July 14).

Meant to add, "Well Yeahhhhh."

Belatedly, I agree with the general sentiment upthread that "I Can't Tell You Why" is the Eagles' finest moment

Have they ever done a "classic album" show or tour, or do even their biggest fans not want to sit through "Try and Love Again" or "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"?

i truly cannot think of anything worse (aside from an Eagles hits tour lol)

i think the listening thread PROVES they are a greatest hits band. the majority of their album tracks should be burned lol

"Try and Love Again" isn't _that_ bad. (Overlong, yes).

They've been doing Hotel California in full + hits shows with orchestral backing for the last few years.
