My love for the Eagles just exploded!! Hello everyone!

I'm probably one of the few people on this board to say I was not a huge fan of them, until now. I liked a few songs before, but not enough to really say I was a fan...then I saw the History of the Eagles on tv last night. I love documentaries and tell all's of bands, even if i'm not a huge fan, so I kept it on and watched it. After it was over, I immediately went to my computer, downloaded more songs, watched videos, researched, found this forum, I was up until 6 am!! :)

It continued today, and I finally joined the forum so I can talk to other fans instead of talking to myself on Twitter and FB about them LOL My close friends either dont care much for them or hate them (yeah, right, HOW THE !?!?!)

I actually liked a few Joe Walsh/James Gang songs for years too, so I knew who he was. Also love Boys of Summer. About 5 years ago I saw an Eagles cover band at a casino, it was enjoyable despite the fact I wasn't a huge fan of them, but was surprised to find out I knew more songs than I thought! My favorite though was always Take It To The Limit. That song is just amazing. After I saw the documentary last night, I realized the 2 guys I like and respect the most were Randy and Joe. So I was SO happy to learn Randy sang that song, I love it even more now! Also I am blown away at how cool of a guy Joe is, I knew he was cool before but now that's on a whole new level!

I discovered a few songs I didnt know before that are totally relevant to my life right now. Wasted Time, After the Thrill Is Gone, You Never Cry Like a Lover, they are so sad and beautiful and making me cry which I needed (it's about a guy I'm in love with, ugh). But then Already Gone made me happy, even though I can't really quit seeing this guy (we work together), the song made me feel empowered. I love when a band comes into your life at a specific time, where their songs feel like they were meant to be heard RIGHT NOW. I think that is why I suddenly have this huge interest in them. This doesn't happen to me very often! So here I am. Glad to be here and ready to make some new friends! :partytime:

ALA, welcome to The Border!! You have come to the right place if you want to learn about our guys. I responded to your request about more information in another thread, but I'll say that if you haven't done so, visit the websites EaglesOnlineCentral and all the associated ones for each of the guys individually, and read through the bio sections. Our Soda has gone to a lot of effort to put those together and they are accurate. The links are at the bottom of each page here on the forum.

Again, welcome, and have fun learning about these amazing men and this incredible band (you can probably tell I've been a fan since my teens, and we needn't discuss how long ago that was! :wink: )

welcome to the border.
may you enjoy your time with us here.
I think you will.
Have love the band since I was in high school .many moons ago. their music is a big part of the soundtrack of my live.
listen to Va"s suggestion and you will enjoy your journey.
againwelcome:partytime::computer:

Welcome to the Border ALA...you've definitely landed in the right spot...hope you enjoy it here...

Welcome, ALA !!

Welcome!!!
except that I was already an Eagles' fan, that sounds like me. this documentary really jumpstarted my love and interest for finding out everything and anything I could about them.
and I think I was starting to look obsessive to all my friends (real and on facebook/twitter) cos I was/am talking about them nonstop & flooding my feed with Eagles' links and comments haha
so I was really excited to find the Border!
All Eagles, all the time! :yay:

Fabulous to hear! Welcome to The Border!

Welcome ALA. You will love this place. The board is amazing and so many cool people in here. I have always liked the Eagles, but then that documentary made me love them beyound belief. They are my inspiration. LOL I have been trying to find friends who love the Eagles as well. I am still trying to feed my soul with the Eagles. LOL I know this hunger will never leave me. Their music is like air. Can't live without them.

Welcome to The Border ALA! We're glad to have ya! I've loved the Eagles since the very beginning and held on through thick and thin! When they got back together it was an answer to my prayers and I've gotten to see them in concert several times since and even met Don Henley a few years ago. They are a wonderful band and they have wonderful solo careers too! There is lots to learn, so dive right in!

Welcome to the Border ALA! I can't wait to see the documentary!

Hi, ALA :wave:
Glad you found us!! I've listened to our guys on and off since I was in Jr. High school, got really into them in Grad School, then rediscovered them this past fall trying to turn back to a more "mellow" sound than I was listening to...but I haven't seen the documentary yet!! Counting down the days until April 30th! :thumbsup:

Welcome aboard, ALA. The documentary, IMO, is the best piece of R&R history ever put out there. When a band can last this many years and draw three generations to their shows, you know your experiencing something bigger than the universe! Hope you enjoy your journey here on The Border. You won't find a more terrific group of dedicated Eagles fans anywhere else.

Thanks for the awesome welcomes, everyone! :thumbsup: You all seem very friendly which is not how some other bands' fans are! (I tend to be into a lot of bands that attract teenagers LOL)

I have checked out a lot of the information you told me about, I feel like I took a crash course in Eagles 101! lol

I had a 5 hour drive today and listened to all my Eagles songs the whole way! :partytime:

My next mission is to explore more of Randy & Joe's solo stuff, since they are my favorites!

Welcome from me as well, ALA. Glad you found us and hope you like it here on The Border. It is great to hear about all of this enthusiam the documentary is generating. If you love talking and learning more about the band, you've come to a great place. Post on and enjoy!

Thank you! I am enjoying it so far! I'm particularly focusing on the Joe and Randy threads, I downloaded Analog Man, I was blown away!

Welcome!

Welcome, ALA!! You have a lot of catching up to do and there's not a better place to do it than The Border!!!:thumbsup:

Welcome ALA!

Enjoy your time here. There certainly is a treasure trove of information to read through and absorb!

Welcome to the Border!

Isn't it great!? :smitten: I found it last night in the Randy pic thread. So many good ones to choose from but when I saw that, I almost had to look away because it was SO perfect! lol

I've noticed the two biggest Randy fans around here haven't posted in like 5 years, that really sucks!!

I'm sorry to say one of them, bad kitty, has passed away.

Oh no! I don't think she was one of the two I saw, one was Randy's Girl and the other I can't remember.

I'm late to the party on this, but welcome! :wave:

'Take It To The Limit' is also my fav Eagles song. Up there with it would be 'Pretty Maids All In A Row' and 'One Of These Nights'.

Anyway, I am a huge Joe fan as you can probably tell from my avatar.

I haven't seen The History of the Eagles doc yet; I don't have Showtime. Everyone I know outside of this board that's seen it, likes it. I'm waiting til Netflix gets it & then I'll rent it from them.
