Ditto...I seem to have a thing for singer/songwriter/guitarists myself...:guitar::inlove::hilarious:
A couple of things I have said about myself over the years, “I have lead singer disease”… meaning give a man a microphone and I’m in love!
Also, there is my this, “I love my emaciated Rock Stars” … I seem to have a thing for very thin guys in bands.
Pretty much, I think I just love musicians. I think I can pin my first Rock Star crush in Jon Bon Jovi then moved over to Richie Sambora. From then, my love of rock stars just continued. Oh wait… no, maybe my first crush was on some guy in Menudo, but it wasn’t little Ricky (aka Ricky Martin), maybe it was big Ricky. Too much time has passed.
Back to Peter… he’s thin, can play a mean guitar and his vocals aren’t too bad either! I was listening to him on youtube singing back up for Chris Cornell; and he was good! It should be illegal to be so hot and talented! LOL
Does anyone here know how old Will Hollis is?
SF - I know Will was born on January 6th, but I don't know the year off the top of my head. If anyone knows, I'll bet it would be Steph. :wink:
Yeah I knew he was born on Jan 6th
Remember I said about Pete Thorn & Will Hollis had done a live show with Ace Young? Well, here's some photos from the soundcheck - sorry they're such poor quality - thought you'd like to see Pete in jeans!!!

Jonathan Clark, who we know from Glenn's backup band, has an album out called I'm Just Sayin'. He's doing a free show on Jan. 30th at Kulak's Woodshed, and for those of us that can't be there, we can watch it on a webcast! Here's more info:

Thanks for the heads up about this, Soda. Hope this is a big success for Jonathan.
He's on now!
Just rediscovered this on my pc - my friend took it at one of the Eagles 02 London shows in March 2008. I love that look of concentration (note the tongue!)
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...glesWill5i.jpg
Awww Its lovely Steph. And just reading 'March 2008' and O2 London brings back such wonderful memories.
Beautiful:angel:
Gee Steph - that is very nice. I, of course, would never have noticed the tongue thing if you hadn't mentioned it. :lie:
You can stream a performance of Jonathan Clark's at 10 pm Eastern tomorrow (Feb. 12) here:

He'll be doing three songs as a "friend of John Clinebell."
You have to become a "member" of the site, though.
Steuart Smith is a nice guitarist (not more than that) but he will NEVER be able to replace Don Felder in my humble opinion.
He was SO much better!!!
Not intending to be argumentative here Rene45nl, but I think Stu is a very underrated guitarist. He's been around a long time and has done studio work with a wide variety of artists. Joe Walsh crowned him as being one of the best studio guitarists he'd ever worked with. He can hear a song once and slip in and replicate it perfectly.
He has been granted writing credits on Long Road Out Of Eden so it his other talents are coming to the fore with Eagles.
AS for "Star Quality" compared with that of Don Felder, probably not. As a musician, he has his own nitch without having to be anyone else. He certainly fills the gap in the strings with Eagles now that Felder is no longer with them.
I try to form my opinion of Smith based on his performances and I have to say that I really do like what comes out of his amps. I think he had to know that he had an uphill struggle coming in behind Don Felder and it seems to me that he decided to just let his guitar do the talking...and it talks loudly and clearly. His techniques with pinch harmonics are not exceeded by anyone, including Billy Gibbons.
I personally think that Stu is a great addition to Eagles.
I think Stu gets a bad rap because he's been instructed to duplicate Felder rather than do his own thing, and the duplicate is always going to be considered inferior to the original. I think both he and Felder are extremely talented.
Wise words! :) I think you're right. Stu is also a great guitar player I think but I've seen about 15 concerts with Felder in the line-up and about 10 with Stu in the line-up and I think Felder put some more "feeling" and "heart" in the guitar parts than Stu does. But that's just my personal opinion, for what it's worth....
Besides, Stu is not "officially" an Eagle, or is he?
Whatever... I think I just yearning to those good old days... :rockguitar:
Welcome Rene from one Joe fan to another!
Steuart is not an Eagle and as Soda mentioned he has been instructed to duplicate, not do his own thing. I'm sure that's why you don't see him put more "feeling and heart" into his parts. He's supposed to blend in - not stand out.
I think maybe things have gotten sorta blurred as to who is an Eagle and who isn't. Kinda in three segmented parts the Eagles are. But I find it hard NOT to consider them ALL Eagles.
Glenn and Don in one category as owners
Tim and Joe as #1 Sidekicks (in Joe's words..."Hired Guns")
Stu and the rest of the musicians whom the Eagles could not do without and still perform as they do.
BTW, I was a Joe Walsh "fan" before I was an Eagles follower.
I agree. I think Stu does OK.
As it's been said, he & the rest of the supporting musicians are there to 'blend' in with the Eagles & 'support' them. In Steuart's case he is expected to replicate Don Felder.
Some of the other support musicians can add their own touch as the original versions of the song didn't have all the instrumentation of the live versions we get to hear now. e.g. the horn section & two or three keyboard players.
Stu gets to 'play it his way' on the LROOE songs & I have no complaint about his playing on those!
It has recently been said(but I can't remember where I read it) that Stu should be replaced by Peter Thorn(who played for Don's November shows) as he's more exciting to watch. I disagree. Although I thought Peter was great in Don's band I just can't see him playing with the Eagles. Maybe it's because he's younger than the rest of the support musicians & a bit more of a Rock guitarist(he certainly moves about a bit on stage!).
LETS HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS !!

Nice!
And, while Peter Thorn is talented and attractive, I didn't see anything while he was playing for Don that made me think he should replace Stu, who does such a terrific job already.
:heart: The Will pics, and your avatar too Steph. Also Soda your avatar isn't bad neither.:rockon:
I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong place, please feel free to move it!
I was just looking for info about Al Garth and came across this
https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/band/garth.htm
Note what he plays on LROE :pimp: :woah: :hilarious:
tg - went ahead and moved your post to this thread.
Al is a very talented guy and very nice too. Some of us have had a chance to talk to him a couples times in the bar after solo shows.
OMG - that is too funny. I didn't know what you were talking about until I clicked on the link. Can't wait 'til Soda sees this - she is gonna flip. :lol:
OH MY GOSH. What a mortifying typo!!!! I'll fix it when I get a chance, but that won't be for a bit.... MAN. Thanks for posting it out for all to see, guys!!!! A PM would have sufficed ya know! :blush: :blush: :blush:
Sorry, just couldn't resist :hilarious: :hilarious:

VERY Nice, Steph!
As we all know now, Bill Armstrong, the talented trumpet player of the "Mighty Horns" passed away in March.
I listened to the introductions that were on YouTube of the Hollywood Bowl show where we first noticed Bill's absence. For those who are wondering, the gentleman who is filling in for Bill at this time is Les Lovitt from Jack Mack & the Heart Attack. Here is a little bit of information I found about him ...
