No, I'm not saying you did agree with it, but those are some of the arguments which are constantly used in favour of all this.
Once again there's the Cindy wants him to do it so that's OK & no further criticism can be made, as Soda said above. For how much longer can the 'healing' excuse be used, especially as it now...
I don't know how to put this politely.
I'm not interested in Vince Gill & his 'serious cred'. I'm not interested in why he was picked, I am also not interested in Sheryl Crow. How diluted could...
But Soda, you're the one who says 'this too shall pass' & that in the long run (:ack:) this part of the band's history won't be remembered.
Agreed.
I must say however, how sad it is that Henley, Walsh & Schmit are so apparently willing to accomodate the wishes of this guy.
Yes, I did. That was more like it.
It's funny. I once wrote a 'story' about rock music being banned in California by a dictatorial state governor who had exiled all the musicians of the time (Eagles, Ronstadt, Zevon, Neil Young etc)....
Having 'clever' ideas has never extended to letting Timothy Schmit sing a song of his own.
Imagine... if they came down here they could cover Men At Work's Down Under. How nice that would be....
To be fair there have only been two (to date). I don't know who sung Tulsa Time. I believe Walking To New Orleans was sung by Henley, Walsh & Schmit, one verse each.
ETA: Apparently Gill sang...
After the reunion the band took a long time to return this song to their setlist .Also, when I saw them do it, they only did the first verse & midsection, not the whole song. I was frankly...
It was nice to see that. It hasn't changed my mind about the 'official' version..
It would have been a clever idea with the real band.
In Don Henley's Eagles real Eagles songs are shoved aside in favour of songs with 'local' appeal like Tulsa Time & Walking To New Orleans. Glorified karaoke.
English understatement. I should have realised. ;)
Get Over It
I am a massive fan of GoT, as I have said before.
I care about it but the other people who expressed concern about it stated that they liked the song more than they were concerned about the fraudulence of it. So it's just you & me, it seems as well...
With respect to Will & the other backing musicians that is what they are - backing musicians. They are not 'personalities' or 'names' in any sense. Also presumably they chose to be backing musicians...

So tell me girl, what's in your heart
Eclipse - Pink Floyd
When We Was Fab - George Harrison 8-)
C Moon - Wings
How about Axl Rose?! :drunk::twisted:
He has probably also given been permission to play the songs. They are 'his' songs now, he thinks.
I would hope he might at some stage get tired of playing someone else's music night after night.
