Jeans or Suits?

[TimothyBFan]

Need I say which one I voted for?

Probably not a huge shock, but I also voted for the jeans. I'm like Brooke in that I remember the days when the guys would have laughed at the thought of themselves in a suit. Also, like troub said, I prefer it when the guys express their individuality in their style of dress. I didn't mind the F1 with the more casual suits in the first half, but the stiff white shirt and black tie uniformed look is simply out of place for a rock concert, IMHO. If this is Glenn's idea as Joe said (and I have no doubt that it is), then I hope he gets the message that almost no one likes the suits. Hopefully, he will eventually see the light.

I'm a jeans girl, what can I say? They look great in their suits, but they look even better in their own styles. I think the concerts feel more intimate when the guys are dressed however they choose. But then again, they could all wear orange camo and I would still think they look great.

Well, not one person has picked suits so far.... even Freypower admits she only advocates them out of some sense of loyalty to Glenn (which I guess makes me "disloyal" - mmmkay).

But apparently the guys care little for public opinion in this matter! They have known for a long time that almost NOBODY likes the suits - that the audience's reaction is usually "Why are the Eagles dressed like they just attended a funeral???" - yet they persist.

A quote from Rolling Stone's 1979 article on the Eagles:

Steve Miller, the opening act [for the Eagles], takes the stage to a big ovation from the Milwaukee teenagers. Azoff, behind a stack of speakers, gives them the finger. "Look at that guy," he spits, indicating Miller's short hair and conservative dress. "He even looks like an accountant."

And we call this.... irony. lol

Tho I thought it was good the way they did the split with dressier outfits (of their choice!!!) to start and then the comfy clothes to finish, I'm with the Jeans crew . How could you not love them in jeans ,well worn, soft, snug (or tight) fitting-- Whee there's a picture worth a million bucks! Nuf said.

We need to send the results of our very scientific poll here, along with the above quote and any others we can uncover to the Eagles ATTN: GLENN FREY because I am pretty sure this is all his doing.

Well - I guess you need to count me among the disloyal, too.

I also meant to mention that even in the latter stages of the F1 tour, they ditched the suits completely. I believe it was starting with the California leg of the tour, but it was jeans all the way. I remember in both Oakland and Sacramento that they wore their jeans the entire show (except for Joe who wore whatever the hell he wanted to). They only changed their shirts for the second half.

I'm afraid Don has responded to these complaints already (starting at about 0:50):

I think so too TBF, but then I think ALL major decisions are Glen's from what I can decern from interviews and comments from the other guys. If he had to choose a suit there were much better ones out there believe me! If they are going for the successful look I think they missed the boat on that one . I think they would be more comfortable in something more casual even if it was a suit, this one is just too restricted .
