Poll: Do you support a new album by Eagles + Guests?

[Glennsallnighter]

I would not have any interest in a new album by the current line up - Deacon will eventually break away and start developing his own musical brand. I suppose Vince Gill will stay as long as he's needed but to me he will never be a true 'Eagle'.

I WOULD like to see a DVD of the HOTE shows and I would definitely buy that.
I would also love to have seen some sort of posthumous release of Glenn s material. I do believe that he had some substantial work done towards a new album and I'm sorry that those that could control such things did not consider this important enough. Both Bowie and Prince have had tribute releases and I feel Glenn has once again been overlooked. Even if it was incomplete or was augmented with previous releases or perhaps photos it would have been nice and his fans would have appreciated it.
But I would prefer that this was an album dedicated to just Glenn rather than just him being stuck into a general album. Surely he deserves that much?

FP & GA - Amen. I would love a dvd of the HOTE tour. I would also love an album of Glenn's songs but would settle for an Eagles album with NUMEROUS unreleased Glenn/Eagles vocals. However, not the usual one song per album. I love Don's, Tim, Randy and Joe's voice but I think they lost a lot when Glenn turned over almost all the vocals to Don. IMHO, that's what was so special about them. Four real lead singers.
However, it appears we will have to settle for Jack's new album. Thank God for him and Bob.

I like to think I would give and album of new music a fair chance regardless of which name they used but the truth is I'd probably be resistant. Anyway, there's no point me hoping for or worrying about something that will probably never happen.

Using Glenn's analogy of the mothership, it's a nice, safe place and takes a lot of people and effort to get moving. Which is why they have the smaller, more agile boats that go off and explore.

I'd rather hear the solo efforts than a band effort that takes a lot of their time and energy and compromise. I felt this way before Glenn died.

I chose the "not sure" option, but chances are that if they did put out new music, I'd be curious enough to buy it.

I doubt that it will happen, except maybe live albums from HOTE or the current tour. They were definitely taping at the Classic East the night I was there, and Timothy had different areas of the crowd cheering while each area was was lit up, and the cameras scanned that area.

It's not something I spend much time thinking about, though. IF they do, great. I might like it. I might not. If they don't put out anything new, I'm okay with that, too.

A very small part of that showed up in the promotional video for the mini-tour.

I haven't voted yet, although I'm leaning toward 'yes'. My concern is that a new album may not be very good. I don't want to sell them short though. These are a very talented group of guys and I'm sure they wouldn't release anything they didn't think was great.

Honestly, I'm confused by the choice about using the Eagles name - if it's an Eagles album, they're using the Eagles name, right? I'm also a bit confused about using previously unreleased Glenn material. How do you mean?

I don't want a new album from these "Eagles" but I'm confused by these extra choices, lol.

Sorry about the confusion. I was trying to avoid a wordy subject line. If there is a new album by Don, Joe and Timothy + Guests, my bet is that it would be called an Eagles album. It's possible though that they would go with something else, like "Eagles & Co." or "An Eagles Experience" or even the "family and friends" thing, etc.

As far as new Glenn material, I was thinking of demos or even samples he may have recorded for LROOE that he ditched for some reason. Or even some vintage stuff the band recorded in the 70s but never released, like "Bad Man" just to use an example (although I know that one isn't a favorite of yours, Soda!). There's also music that Glenn and Don wrote together that they may never have actually recorded. Don may decide to revive some of it; Deacon could sing lead. This is one such song that the uploader claims was written by Don and Glenn in the early 70s.

Wow - Thanks Delilah ! I know this sounds stupid, but was that Glenn singing the lead ?
