Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

Desperado-Don Henley says: "The whole metaphor of 'rock musicians-as-outlaws' seems silly. It wasn't really accurate. I mean we did live outside the law of normality, but we didn't kill people. At the time, it was fine because that king of music was getting popular and the image helped get the music across, I think. It holds up musically

Duh!

Here's an article about How much money bands make playing private shows. The Eagles are mentioned twice.

In 2005, then Point Blank Solutions Inc.'s CEO David Brooks threw a lavish $10 million bat mitzvah for his 13-year-old daughter, hiring Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Kenny G and the Eagles. Published reports claim he even paid Aerosmith $2 million so his nephew could play drums with the band! (Later, Brooks was charged with fraud for allegedly bank rolling performances on the company dollar.)

Well, they're half right It was just Don and Joe.

Which band has broken the bank the most? The Eagles. They were once paid $6 million by an unknown benefactor to play one song, "Hotel California," at a private bash in NYC. That's almost $1 million per minute.

"Obviously, people want to hear the songs that they have heard for years. Those are the obvious crowd pleasers, like ‘Hotel California,' ‘One of These Nights' and ‘Lying Eyes.' I like ‘Hotel California' the most, because I don't have to sing, but it is a challenge to play, and to play it live you really have to pay attention," Walsh said.

Insightful!

"We've all become old men – but we are still here," Henley said. "In the US, writers and journalists worship the people who die young in rock'n'roll – they make you a hero if you die early. We didn't want to do that".

Liked this quote from Don - sure glad the guys figured out another way to become heroes.

Insightful!

Cathy, when at the Meet & Greet in Chicago many moons ago, I asked Joe what the most difficult song that he played was. He told me that both the most difficult and satisfying to play was the acoustic version of "Hotel California" that he did with Felder.

His mind can't wander during that one!
