Don Felder in the Press/Blogs/etc.

I don't know of any fans calling for their retirement, but I don't doubt some exist out there. However, they probably haven't been to a show in years either.

I must say that this was the first time I heard that people wish they would soon retire. With KISS it's a totally different matter, because Paul has lost his voice after abusing for decades with the between-songs screaming. So I've seen a lot of comments about KISS quitting. But not Eagles.

This is a funny place for the discussion of whether they should retire. My belief is that as individuals, they don't sound as good as they did in the 1970s but as a group they are almost as good, it just takes more people.

I haven't heard anyone say they wish they would retire either. I've certainly enjoyed the shows I've been to in the past few years and was amazed each time at how great they sounded! No, they don't sound exactly like they sounded back in the 70's or even 90's for that matter, but they still sound fantastic and it seems everyone in the arenas I've been to were in agreement by the standing ovations and cheers and applause they received.

Yes, they will quit sometime, and I will be a sad, sad person cause I've loved their music for so many years. The sad part is that we are all getting older and what that brings. But, the music will live on and never be forgotten!

Back to actually talking about Don Felder in the Press, here's an interview he did recently. I haven't read the entire thing, but he's spot-on with his first answer!

Hmmm...in the interview he said Henley told him to do an acoustic intro to HC for HFO. In his book he said it was Glenn (page 25.

As much as I love Don Felder and miss him onstage, I also dread the day they retire. My favorite band of all time.

Thank You so much for posting the interview VAisForEagleLovers

"Hotel Felderfornia!"

Great to hear that Felder is continuing his abstinence of dissing the Eagles.

Delighted he's almost obligated to do some Airborne material during his next tour. I'd prefer Still Alive or Never Surrender to Bad Girls or All Of Me but anything non Eagles is a positive move. Nobody seems to be yelling for Visions.

..and Don is mistaken, Joe played Hotel California without a pick. Mostly thumb but he couldn't do those great winding arpeggios that ended his solo with a pick.

Did I mention that Felder made up the intro on the spot!

[shunlvswx]

If I remembered, Don didn't play with a pick either on HFO HC.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's a good interview from Don's perspective. He clarifies how the ending to HC got written. About a year ago if you remember, he said one thing and what he said in the documentary was another thing, and this describes it way better.

Mr. Voket, on the other hand, could use a good proof-reader.
