Press and Discussion about Felder's New Album "Road to Forever"

[sodascouts]

At least he clarifies that he wasn't a founding member in this interview, and didn't take the opportunity to trash Glenn and Don for not allowing more of his music onto albums. I think he is trying to distance himself from the negativity which permeated his book and the accompanying interviews promoting it, and I appreciate that. (I hope I'm not speaking too soon!)

I agree. It seems that maybe he has kind of 'gotten over it' and is trying to move on, which is a good thing.

Frank Simes used to play with Don H. I wonder if he ever will again?

You know the one thing that kind of irked me about the interview with Don, was when a fan called in & mentioned "Love Will Keep Us Alive" and Don got into a whole story about how Paul Carrack wrote that song & when they were working on the album, HFO Timothy wanted to sing it. Well, Don pretty much dissed Timothy by saying that he liked Paul's version of the song better! Well, my ears were burning over that statement!

The fan called in, saying how much she liked the song, & obviously she heard it with Timothy singing it, & then Don goes into this whole thing! Just really kind of PISSED ME OFF

I hear you on that, TK. Felder has made uncomplimentary comments on LWKUA more than once. I don't think he's intentionally trying to put Timothy down - well I sure HOPE he isn't - but it's a really thoughtless remark and shows Felder in a bad light.

He could have said something like, "Hey, Paul Carrack co-wrote that song, check out his version, that's fantastic too".

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah - I agree that these types of comments about his former bandmates do not reflect very well on Felder. Unfortunately, remarks like these are not out of character for him - in many of the interviews for his book promotion, he frequently said things that made him come across as mean-spirited and vengeful. He would say some pretty nasty things with a smile on his face - not exactly the kind of remarks that would endear him to most Eagles fans.

[Topkat]

I think Don was just bothered by the fact that this Eagles fan complimented a song that he really didn't have much part of, so he felt the need to diss the song, & or Timothy in some backhanded compliment. Pretty annoying. He has a way of doing that on several occasions & with other songs as well.
