Glyn Johns autobiography

[Eagles Rule]

Surely, recording an album with Johns over a couple of weeks would be the ultimate Eagles redemption.

The ultimate redemption would be for them to work with Geffen again. I think Geffen and Henley would rather drink poison than get back together.

Yeah, Geffen has been sued not once but twice by Henley! They did agree to appear in each other's documentaries, though: Henley in Inventing David Geffen and Geffen, of course, in History of the Eagles.

Was Geffen's doc worth watching?
How much of it was related to the Eagles & Henley?

[UndertheWire]

The Geffen doc is worth watching as he has had an interesting career. There's not a lot actually on the Eagles or Henley but it's good for context.

[Funk 50]

I'm not sure what relationship Geffen had with the Eagles. They were business associates rather than work colleagues weren't they?

I remember the "malcontent" line though. He owes Henley a positive or two for that.

[UndertheWire]

I'm not sure what relationship Geffen had with the Eagles. They were business associates rather than work colleagues weren't they?

The kind of relationship where you have five naked young men in a sauna?* In the early days, Geffen was very nurturing with the people that he managed. There's a thread on the Geffen documentary: https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/foru...ead.php?t=3813

*Geffen, Jackson Brown, JD Souther, Glenn Frey and Ned Doheney.

I am going to watch the whole HOE documentary this time instead of just bits and pieces like I did last time. The parts I saw with Geffen, he seemed to feel betrayed by the Eagles and really pissed off at Henley in particular.

I enjoyed watching the Geffen doc a lot. Pretty much about how he came from nothing and made it big and bits about the people he worked with.

[NightMistBlue]

The parts I saw with Geffen, he seemed to feel betrayed by the Eagles and really pissed off at Henley in particular.

Geffen is quite evil though, so you can't believe what he says. He makes Irving Azoff seem like a sweetie pie by comparison.

Back to the Glyn Johns book: many reviews say it's boring and not at all detailed about the actual studio work. What a pity, because the guy really is an amazing producer with a legendary body of work. Still, with two chapters on Los Eagles, one on Zeppelin, and quite a few on the Stones, I'm tempted to check it out.
