RIP Glenn Frey

[raskolnikov]

Eagles guitarist has left the building . He helped write some of their most well known songs including Hotel California, Desperado and Lying Eyes. Also had a bit of a solo career with The Heat is On his most well known solo song. RIP.

 

[Monocle]

Nooooooooooooo

As a long standing Eagles fan who has seen them live five times I am gutted.

More latter.......... just too upset at this sad news.

What a shit month January 2016 has been for the Entertainment Industry.

I'm more into jazz and fusion than mainstream but I'm also a bit gutted myself. I've always been an Eagles fan and didn't mind some of his solo stuff either.

 

[Beerfish]

Crap. They just keep coming. Great start to 2016.

 

[NSWCROW]

Worst year ever....and we're only 3 weeks in !!!!


These 2 songs are in my all time top 10

An Eagle has landed, but not before millions of us soared aloft on the wings of great songs. RIP Glenn, a sad loss. Take It Easy.

 

[BotsMaster]

Certainly going to be a heartache tonight.

RIP Glenn

My favourite Eagles song:

we can be heroes.
for...

oops, wrong thread

 

[Goldenblue]

R.I.P Glen Frey, you will be missed. The opening bars of "Take It Easy" will always send shivers down my spine.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Christ, they're popping off like flies recently.....

 

[DaRick]

Lemmy, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Glenn Frey...

Funnily enough, I remember him for his association with Miami Vice as much as I do for the song 'The Heat Is On' and his work with The Eagles (corny though much of it was).

RIP.

 

[Cruyff14]

Huge loss. Phenomenal musician and songwriter, and for the most part, a consummate professional.

RIP.

How were the Eagles corny?

 

[sherbrook]

I came of age in the 70s and at first dismissive of Eagles as "too country" but when I went to LA In realised how well the music fitted the scene there. I like One of these Nights and Desperado.

 

[DaRick]

How were the Eagles corny?

IMO, their harmonies could be a bit cringeworthy.

Of course, many people absolutely loved them, so don't mind me.

Like what?

 

[DaRick]

Like what?

For example, the harmonies in Hotel California or New Kid in Town.

Take me back to these times please.

Just watched History of The Eagles Part 1 and Part 2 on the Arts channel. Required viewing for mine. Just the beginnings and the collaboration and the drama and drugs.

There's a girl, my lord, in a flat bed Ford slowing down to take a look at me. Line sticks with me.

Eagles never considered themselves country. The producer of their first 2 albums was pushing them that way because he'd worked with the Who and Stones and that was Rock to him. They ditched him for more control.

Yep. Was a great doco. Glad they made it while everyone was still around.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah really good doco that.

I felt sorry for Don Felder by the end of it all.
