Are people actually comparing Glenn Frey's solo work to Don Henley's??

Frey had a handful of top 40 hits, but songs like The Heat is On and You Belong to the City, while successful commercially,...

Got it. I mean, I understand the point, I really do. But I don't think that Henley or Walsh or Azoff think that Frey is unimportant to the band or anything, but for them to sell tickets they need...

I have a question for everybody who is upset about the Eagles reforming without Frey.

Presumably, nobody has a problem with any of the Eagles performing as solo artists, or even as part of other...

I don't really understand why it's 'pathetic' and demonstrates a lack of 'integrity' that they havent' yet announced how they will fill the hole left by Glenn Frey.

The tickets are on sale to see...

The sad reality is that the Eagles in any incarnation are just about over anyway. Henley Walsh and Schmidt are all just about in their 70's now. It's probable that one of them will be gone in the...

In all fairness, Frey had no problem forcing out, in one form or another, Meisner, Leadon and Felder throughout the Eagles history. They were all equal members and he saw an opportunity to continue...

This is a touchy subject for many and I understand that, but I am going to say this with as much respect and sensitivity as I can.

Glenn Frey was an essential Eagle in many ways. There wouldn't...

I don't atribute any malice to it.

WFAN in NYC just ran a promo for the concert and guess who was signing on the promo? Glenn Frey....Take It Easy.

I don't have any intention one way or another, but he and the Eagles at large have always been shrewd businessmen. I'm pretty sure Henley wouldn't go out and reform the Eagles without Frey unless he...

Henley is definitely playing his financial hand well here in his final chapters. You know he demanded a lot of money to still go out as The Eagles without Frey and the birthday thing is a great way...

Is anybody asking you to agree? If you're done with the Eagles since Frey won't be part of them anymore, then people should respect that.

I'm pretty sure they can replicate Frey's rhythm guitar and electric piano. The harmonies on some of those songs, I don't know. I do know when I hear Henley sing Hotel California, One of these...

No, listing songs sung by Frey doesn't contradict my statement in the least.

I said: "Glenn didn't play a huge role in the live performances of some their biggest hits".

I didn't say he...

One thing to remember, though, is that this is BIG business for these guys. As Henley has said about ticket prices in the past, this is how they make their living.

So, from a business standpoint,...

I understand why you and many others feel that way. Frey was obviously a key and in many ways indispensable member of the band overall, so for those who aren't interested in going to a concert and...

With all due respect, I don't know what to make of your post. I said Glenn didn't play a huge role in the live performances of some of their biggest hits...and then you go on to name some of the...

I didn't say they played Eagles material excessively in their solo shows. They do, however, play Eagles songs and as I'm sure most of have seen at particularly Henley's solo shows, the Eagles...

But don't Henley, Walsh and Schmit play Eagles songs in their concerts? In Henley's case, it's a major reason why he can still play the bigger venues as fans know they will hear songs such as Hotel...

Are you suggesting that I made hurtful comments about the deceased? I didn't. I actually said Frey was the quarterback of the Eagles.

I haven't posted here much if at all, but read this thread with interest.

I was a Don Henley fan first...I was slightly too young (born in 1970), to really be into the Eagles through the 1970's,...

Well, if youtube had been around in the early or mid 1980's, and if Henley didn't embrace it and other Internet technologies, he would have not had the career he had. His audience is older (again,...

My sincere apologies...I didn't mean to insult anybody, but I can see how my wording might have done just that.

"Old" is always a relative term. At 39, I'm an "old man" to many! I think Henley...

I think people need to remember that Henley is 62 years old now. He's an old man. As much as we cling to music of our youth and want it to remain young forever, the Don Henley who sang Boys of...
