One of my favourite bands. What a great songwriter and musician.
Says a bit about the guy though that one prominent journalist was asked for a comment. First thing he said even before praising Frey's attributes was "He was a great businessman". Perhaps a case of the money before the music in The Eagles case? |

Like John Donne said, "No man is an island." When Glenn died it not only affect him, but people around him. What if some people were in situations with him and had issues that went unresolved, assuming they did go unresolved. So what are they going through? How do they resolve this issues without him now that he's passed on? And even if there some sort of an apology from Glenn, how do they feel now? Do they have good memories mixed with bad? I imagine it's not only tough for his band mate and friend Don Henley, but the others as well. So I express my sympathy and said I felt sorry for them, because how they must feel now. I never heard a bad word about the Eagles, but I heard plenty criticism of Bowie even from day one when I first heard him. I admit I've been conditioned to expect criticism of David Bowie. I would not be surprised if I found criticism in Bowie's RIP thread so I would most likely not call them out on it. I thought if I express anything or bring up any personal feeling about Bowie I would only open myself up for an ad hominem attack, even if what I said was positive. I really didn't go through the Bowie thread because of that.

As it goes, you can walk from the OP in the Bowie thread to the last post, and there is not one person --- not one --- who has anything in the slightest way negative to say about him. Even those who don't know his music acknowledge what a legend he was. 100% positive.

Elvis, The Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel, David Bowie, Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughn, U2 etc etc I've heard or read criticism about them, on the boards or elsewhere. Oh yeah ELP. I seen them slammed to death -- I almost forgot about that. But can't recall a bad word about Eagles.

I was waiting for this an entire day. LOL My Dad loves the ****ing Eagles and I had to listen to that **** for far too long, but I certainly respect them as musicians. Always been a Creedence man myself.

I was going to let it slide until I saw Neapol's comments.

How dare you. I can't wait till Trollheart see that. I hate to be you when it happens.
Still doesn't count, it was said out of irony to make people laugh cause everyone love the Eagles. Seinfeld8 7TheChecksDesperadoGuy

Or you could take what happens later in that scene as a joke about how defensive Eagles fans are about people not liking them.
