I thought it's for the intro arpeggio, not the guitar solos. I'm not sure anymore!

Iconic Riff Award

From Rolling Stone: Additionally, Don Felder's spine-tingling guitar work on the Eagles' "Hotel California" will be acknowledged with the Iconic Riff Award.

Congrats to Don F! He sure deserves it!

I'm honestly reluctant to post further negative comments about Felder but I can't believe I'm the only Eagles fan who thinks this award is highly questionable.

If I made made a list of notable Eagles guitar riffs, I'd probably include Victim Of Love, maybe even Disco Strangler or Don's bass riff for One Of These Nights but Hotel California wouldn't make the list. Great lyrics, chord progression and tempo but no guitar riff, and if the award is, in any way, for the closing (dual) guitar solo how can Felder except an award without Walsh.

The Nashville Muscians Hall of Fame would have retained more credibility if it had offered an award to Bernie Leadon. Felder credits himself as dragging the Eagles away from country music.

Any bets on Felder's next solo album being a country album?

Thanks for posting the link travlnman2, when I first read the headline, I didn't check it out, I thought Wilton Felder must be a country musician.

The Nashville Musicians Hall of Fame honors musicians from all genres, not just country. It hasn't been around that long (<10 years?) so maybe eventually Bernie will be recognized. However, I too, wondered about Joe not being included. Maybe in musical circles no one wants to antagonize Irving Azoff by having those 2 honored together.

I'm sure it will be made clearer at the awards ceremony.

Congratulations to Don F on this great honour! In an era of hyperbolically titled gongs (I read recently of an NME award called 'Godlike Genius Award'. Seriously, and it's been around for over 20 years!) I think 'Iconic Riff' is a fine description of the classic intro to such a classic song.

Has anyone been to or seen one of these award shows? Will Don be performing? Would it be worth a seven and a half hour drive? I've seen Henley solo (and Steurt by default lol), am going to see Timothy on sunday...would love to see Felder also!! Not forgetting, Joe, he's on my "must see" list also

I'm not familiar with this awards show myself. I did see a clip from 2014 that showed Peter Frampton playing his guitar, and he was one of the recipients. I don't know if that's typical.

I briefly considered the possibility of attending. It would be great to see Don get his award and perform, too!

CONGRATULATIONS DON!!
Well deserved!

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse anyone. Should have communicated more precisely.

I guess Don F. could accept the award without Joe much like Don H, Joe, and Timothy can accept the Kennedy Homors without Don F, Bernie and Randy.
