Same can be said for Black Sabbath, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, etc. I don't understand how people can be so closed minded about a music act or music acts plural that they seem to give an impression of caring so much about. On some level I can understand if the new music sucks BUT it confounds the mind when Joe Walsh is asked in an interview about a new (at the time of course) solo studio l.p. with the Eagles while he was promoting "Analog Man" first thing in the interview and he states "It is in the can." and then he and the interviewer just move on with the interview focusing only on whatever else not related to that question. (!) Again it leaves me dumbfound not only how that was so overlooked in the interview yet barely any sources address what Joe said that you would think would be interested such as, I don't know, the fans.
So what does it take for the fans to no longer care about new music and only want to hear the same songs over and over for decades and to never grow as either a person or allow the group they admire to change in any way EVER? I mean we are talking about an act that charges far more per ticket than what people spend on buying songs or stealing them. They only had seven studio l.p.s (though I guess they would do songs from groups and projects outside of The Eagles such as solo songs).
