Eagles Online Radio Show

[Ive always been a dreamer]

ArizonaEaglesFan found this and posted the link in another thread. But this is such big news that I thought I'd start a new thread for it. Here is the link to the Billboard article posted below.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/eagles-weezer-aguilera-to-launch-24-hour-1003983953.story

This is the beginning excerpt from the article:



Eagles, Weezer, Aguilera To Launch 24-Hour Online Radio Shows

June 12, 2009 12:14 AM ET
Mitchell Peters, L.A.

Clear Channel Radio and Front Line Management are creating artist personal experience (a.p.e.) radio, a stand-alone company that will allow musicians to produce their own online radio shows, Billboard can exclusively reveal. The channels will run 24 hours a day and play songs chosen by the artist, interviews and commentary. The program will launch in July with the Eagles, Christina Aguilera and Weezer.

[Maleah]

Wow! What huge news! How exciting! I think it's a fabulous idea and can't wait for it to be up and running!

[anne-o-gg]

HUUUGGEEE!!! :woah:

Now that is exciting!!

[ticky]

I have to tell ya, I got this in my Google Alerts and about wet myself!! DJ JOE?? YAY!!!!!! I hope they have podcasts too. I cant wait.

[Glennsallnighter]

I hope I'll be able to get it from the official website perhaps. It sounds great.

[Freypower]

How much involvement will they actually have and how long will it last? When they redesigned their official website that was a big event too. Will all four band members participate?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the update and links, FFL. I'm still not sure how this works - right now it appears as if Joe is the only one providing any commentary. I don't know if did an interview and they will play snippets throughout the day or what? Anyone got a clue?

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the heads up! Just put it on the blog!

ETA: Funny that it is on the anniversary of the Eagles' last show before breaking up back in 1980!

[TimothyBFan]

I have it going right now and when I first brought it up it was playing Ringo Starr and now LITFL is playing. This could be really fun to listen to ALL the time. Can't wait to hear Joe to find out what that's all about. Love all the photos also!! Thanks AEF for the find!

ETA: Been listening now for about an hour, have only heard 1 Eagles song, a couple Beatles solo stuff, Allman Brothers and quite a bit of great music. No Joe yet but in between songs, an announcer came on and said that all this music had been picked by Joe. So maybe that's all there is to it and no interviews? That would be somewhat of a bummer, but the music is really good stuff so far. Joe and I must have our music taste in common.

Corrected ---Joe just had a brief comment between songs, "you are listening to Eagles radio on your computer, iphone, blackberry or pacemaker on iheartradio." Tee hee, "pacemaker", he made a funny!:hilarious:
And a brief interview, says he's still working on his craft and always will be. Now playing Tequila Sunrise!! Yay-- another Eagles tune. I think I'm going to like this!

[Stars]

Thanks so much for the link, FFL! I am listening to the station right now, and they are playing "Bohemian Rapsody", one of my favorite Queen songs. Looking forward to hearing Eagles songs also, and comments from the band!:thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Awww-Joe just played a little Zeppelin D'yer Mak'er for me and now Hotel California.

[Stars]

Loved hearing HC-now he's playing Stevie Wonder!:thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Poco!!!! Not Timothy but my fave Poco song anyways. Crazy Love!!

[EaglesDude421]

freakin' amazing! thanks for sharing...
I haven't been able to stop listening to it, it's a really, really good station and that iheartradio application is pretty hot too. Glad i can take the eagles whereever i go now. (I've also tried plugging it in my car---works like a gem and i don't have to listen to crappy radio anymore when i travel) :thumbsup:

lets keep these stations coming..next, a journey programmed station would be awesome too haha.

[Prettymaid]

Does anyone know how they are getting these "Joe snippets"? They just asked him about playing baseball and his uniform. Are they just using pieces from past interviews?

Oooooh, they're playing Victim Of Love!

[Maleah]

I thought it might be cool to have a thread where we can post the songs we've heard on the Eagles radio station. Like ones that suprised us...or ones that we were thrilled to hear they liked too. When I was listening it said "you are listening to the Joe Walsh selection on Eagles radio....all chosen personally by Joe himself".......or something like that. Anyhoo....I can't listen to it all the time so sometimes I'd like to hear what other people have heard that they've chosen. It would also be cool if we could hear the stories that others have heard on there!

The only song that suprised me that I've heard during Joe's section was Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Not sure why it suprised me....just doesn't seem Eagles-ish. lol

They asked Joe if it's true that he's a big baseball fan and he said yes. So they asked him what position he plays and what number he wears. He said that he plays right field because statistically that's where the ball comes the least. lol He said he isn't good but at least he looks good doing it. He also said he wears "Funk" on his jersey, instead of Walsh, and wears #49. Which we already knew ;)

Fill me in on what I miss while I'm at work!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Maleah]

Nancy if you'd rather not have a separate section for this, I'm cool with merging with the other! Blind as a bat betty here missed it. lol

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Maleah - I think your idea is great. At first, I thought it would be good to leave two separate threads, but then I figured it may just get confusing, so I went ahead and merged them.

I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but, hopefully, will get a chance later.

[TimothyBFan]

Good idea Maleah. Like I just posted in the What Are You Listening To, a few songs ago I heard Cowgirl In The Sand by Neil Young. You never hear that on the radio, at least not the stations I listen to.

[MikeA]

Listening to Allman Bros "Ain't Wastin' Time No More".

Not that I'm surprised. Joe was really influenced by the Slide Work of Dwayne Allman. I was sort of surprised to hear a couple of tracks by Pink Floyd though. Several by the Doors too.

[Brooke]

I haven't gotten to listen yet, either, but sounds great!

[sodascouts]

Right now I'm taking a break from tutoring at the Purdue campus, but I'm gonna have another student coming in soon and so I can't listen. Like Maleah asks, keep us updated not only on songs but on what Joe says. In fact, I want to ESPECIALLY know what Joe says!

Thanks to all who are contributing so far - and welcome, EaglesDude!

[anne-o-gg]

"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" - Allman Bros--playing now..

[Brooke]

Tiny Dancer-Elton John

[Brooke]

Smugglers Blues-you know who!

[sodascouts]

Aw, I just missed Smuggler's Blues! Boo!

Just heard Tom Petty's "Waiting Is the Hardest Part" so I'm a bit mollified. ;)

[sodascouts]

One Day at a Time from Farewell 1! You can bet this is the only "radio" we'll hear that on. Love it!

[Peekaboo]

Well how about that!! I just get logged on here and this is the first thread I come to. I get on iheartradio and One Day At A Time is the first song I hear. Pretty Cool!!!:thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

In The City's playing! :inlove: Joe was just asked about amateur and ham radio and told a little about it. He said if all our satellites ever get knocked out he and the other radio guys will have to save the day.

He just said you can call in and ask a question and he'll answer it!

[Fan_For_Life]

I listened for a few this morning and heard Joe's "this is Eagles radio" snippet. Just turned it on and Cheap Trick I Want You To Want Me is on. I will be seeing them perform in two weeks.

I only wish I could listen at work but don't have speakers with my computer and besides I'd have to compete with alternative rock of which I like just not at work, it's stressful enough.

And now it's Heartache Tonight. :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

He just said you can call in and ask a question and he'll answer it!

Cool! Do you call in like a regular radio show where he answers on-air, or do you submit questions to be answered later? If you call in, what number do you call and when?

[Maleah]

Hotel California!

Just before this the host asked Joe if it's true that he's an analog guy in a digital world. Joe said it is true and that he's writing a song about it. "I'm an analog guy in a digital world, looking for analog girl" or something like that. lol THen he went on to say something like "I don't do a mouse very well but I try"

[Maleah]

One more thing.........they have the different mentions of eagles radio of course in between songs. Might be cool to hear the different variations.

Joe just said something along the likes of....

"Hi....this is Joe Walsh....you've found Eagles radio....congratulations!"


and earlier this morning I heard "HI! This is Joe Walsh! HOW YA DOIN'?!" lol

[Maleah]

They're playing Pearl Jam.........second time I've heard a song by them on here. Also heard another Green Day song, a few by the Doors, Clapton, The Who, lots of Doobie Bro.'s, Hendrix, and Allman Bro.'s.

[Maleah]

Led Zep now


The host (? lol) just said they want to know what you think....send an email to eagles@apradio.com. That's what it SOUNDED like.....but apradio?? what the heck is that?? Did anyone else hear exactly what it was because I have been having trouble hearing things clearly all day. lol

[Fan_For_Life]

Must've missed that. I've been rating all the songs played that I've heard.

[Maleah]

They just asked Joe about why he named Funk 48 and Funk 49 what he did. He said something along the lines of....

"I think funk 48 is actually 1 and 49 is actually 2. I'm pretty sure yeah it's like what's the name of this one joe and i don't have a clue and you know you gotta think of a name and that's what came out of my mouth and we were messing with grooves and funk 48 just came up. and that happened a lot in the james gang....someone would just count off and we'd meet up at the end of the song. and we'd been playin' so many grooves that I just figured there had to have been 47 of them. So this became funk 48.
i'm sorry it's not a lot deeper and cosmic than that folks. that's how it got named."

And now the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby"

Before that had some REO Speedwagon, Meat Loaf, and Who.


*edited to add that I was a little suprised that after the Beatles came Nirvana and "Breed" lol

[Prettymaid]

Cool! Do you call in like a regular radio show where he answers on-air, or do you submit questions to be answered later? If you call in, what number do you call and when?

I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know! :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

Led Zep now


The host (? lol) just said they want to know what you think....send an email to eagles@apradio.com. That's what it SOUNDED like.....but apradio?? what the heck is that?? Did anyone else hear exactly what it was because I have been having trouble hearing things clearly all day. lol

On the site it says powered by A.P.E. radio, whatever that means...

[Maleah]

Ooooooooh! I looked for something along those lines but like I said, I'm blind. lol must be eagles@aperadio.com then lol

[GlennLover]

I linked through to their Facebook page & they asked that comments be left in the discussion area, so you could leave a comment or request there. I haven't been able to locate any E mail address anywhere.

[TimothyBFan]

Are you kidding me---Rubber Biscuit by Blues Brothers. I bet I haven't heard that in over 20 years. :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

Me neither... and I have no wish to hear it now. Mute button! lol

[Maleah]

So did the rest of the guys refuse to participate or what? LOL its the Joe show! (Which is in no way a bad thing!! lol)

They played some Kenny Chesney earlier. The only country artist I've heard. Of course I'm sure that's because he's a pal. ;) I'm guessing that there may be a TAD more country from Don....maybe even Tim.

[sodascouts]

I kind of have a feeling Don and Glenn chose not to participate. Hope I'm wrong though! Perhaps Tim will.

[Maleah]

Smuggler's Blues again!

[TimothyBFan]

Only been listening about a half hour this morning and already heard Turn To Stone and now they're playing Hotel California! COOL!!!:partytime:

[Freypower]

I finally decided to check this out and got Candle In The Wind followed by Under My Thumb by the Stones! Now its She's Waiting by Clapton. This is cool.

[EagleLady]

I got Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

[TimothyBFan]

I've been listening a lot to this and I have to say tho I'm getting a wee bit tired of all the Beatles and Ringo Star (ducking now!:steviesmack:) and also a little to much Neil Young for my taste. I do, however, love the fact I'm hearing quite a bit of stuff I haven't heard on a regular radio station, like now they are playing I Will Follow by U2. That's cool!!

[EagleLady]

You better duck! :hilarious:

[EagleLady]

Hey Rhonda and Cathy, I bet you both love having Joe in your ear :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

Unfortunately I never get to listen to it! I work all day, then it's home to fix supper, and then, well you know how it is! :hilarious:

I did get to listen to just a smidgen last weekend and I heard the same story two days in a row! (the ham radio story) :eyebrow: :-(

[EagleLady]

:hilarious: It's so funny hearing Joe say How Ya Doin? and the pacemaker thing

[Prettymaid]

:hilarious: It's so funny hearing Joe say How Ya Doin? and the pacemaker thing

EL, tell the pacemaker story for those of us who can't hear it, please?

[EagleLady]

He Says You are listening to Eagles Online Radio from your Blackberry, Ipod, or Pacemaker

[Prettymaid]

:hilarious:

[Fan_For_Life]

Just turned it on and to my surprise One Of These Nights had just started. Might have been 3 chords in. :thumbsup:

I have some time tonight so I'll be able to listen longer. Might even put in a request.

And now Mississippi Queen.

[Prettymaid]

I have some time tonight so I'll be able to listen longer. Might even put in a request.

How do you make a request?

[Fan_For_Life]

eagles@apradio.com. I figure if you can tell them what you think of the station you can also make requests.

I made a request, don't know whether it'll get played or not.

[EagleLady]

End of the innocence just came on :inlove:

[AzEaglesFan]

Does anyone else have trouble with the music stopping and starting. I thought it was just because of the dial up but I went to the library where they have high speed and it did the same thing. Sometimes it stops all together and I have to restart the connection.

[EagleLady]

:rofl: Joe just came on and said Isn't it illegal whatever your holding?

[Prettymaid]

Does anyone else have trouble with the music stopping and starting. I thought it was just because of the dial up but I went to the library where they have high speed and it did the same thing. Sometimes it stops all together and I have to restart the connection.

AZ, I only listened to it a bit last weekend but had no problems.

[sodascouts]

No problems here either. Sounds like a connectivity issue, but since it happens in the library too... weird!

[AmarilloByMorning]

A bit late to the party, but....

Loaded it for the first time this morning and segued from Stones' "Only Rock and Roll" to Nirvana's "All Apologies." Can't see anyone but Walsh appreciating the latter, and I actually checked to ascertain that I had selected the correct station. Awesome. As long as they don't play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" this station and I are going to have a beautiful relationship. The only issue is I keep skittering over to iTunes and buying every third song, damn it.

What's with the complaints about excessive Neil Young airplay? No such thing as too much Neil Young. :eyebrow: Such heresy!

And I realize I have enlisted TBS as my avatar, but I have no problem with all-Walsh, all the time. He has excellent taste.

[AmarilloByMorning]

“Hey, I’m Joe Walsh. Grab a widget to stream Eagles radio.
[pause]
Isn’t that illegal? Widget grabbing?”

:smitten:

[AzEaglesFan]

They gave out a phone number that you could call and request a song or leave a comment. They gave it so fast that I didn't get a chance to write it down. Did anybody else get the number, it sounded toll-free. :sad:

[Troubadour]

“Hey, I’m Joe Walsh. Grab a widget to stream Eagles radio.
[pause]
Isn’t that illegal? Widget grabbing?”

LOL!

[GlennLover]

One day I heard Joe say that we probably didn'y know that when the US was naming their national bird there was 1 vote that separated the top 2 birds & of course the eagle won. He reiterated that it was by one vote!He then said that the bird that came second was the turkey so that "now you know how close we came to being called the Turkeys". I had to laugh out loud :hilarious:.

[AmarilloByMorning]

I heard that one yesterday for the first time! (Clearly I've been listening too much...) Laughed out loud. Guy's hilarious.

[AmarilloByMorning]

Kenny Chesney's "Out Last Night" playing now!

Walsh is rapidly closing in on the title of My Favorite Eagle. Holy crap this guy has fantastic taste.

[MikeA]

I got a google alert that Joe was bringing an interview with Ringo Starr to "Eagles Radio" this Laborday weekend. I didn't see a time.

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_music_blog/2009/09/joe-walsh-debuts-eagles-radio-this-weekend-with-guest-ringo-starr.html

[sodascouts]

Thanks Mike! But it's odd that the article refers to Joe "rolling out" the Eagles radio this weekend as he's been doing it for a few weeks now.

ETA: Ah, he's debuting the interview aspect. Putting this on the front page!

[sodascouts]

Hey guys, have you taken a look at the "Eagles Timeline: A Look Back" on the Eagles page from iheartradio? If you have, this is old news to you, but I just looked today. The "early years" photos are same old same old and the "reunion" gallery maybe had a couple ones I hadn't seen before.

However, the "on hiatus" gallery had several I hadn't seen before - even one of Tim playing live in 1992! If you haven't already, go check it out!

http://www.iheartradio.com/cc-common/news/sections/special/eagles.html?_show

[ticky]

Didja'll know you can Email or CALL Eagles Radio and ask a question and they might read or play it on the air and JOE will answer it???
WHAT THE HECK DO I ASK??? Im dumbfounded.... :brickwall:


as soon as they tell the email addy and number again, I'll post em

[Prettymaid]

Ask him if he's actively working on solo stuff!

[ticky]

I COULD DO THAT!!

"Hey Joe, I hear that you're planning some solo projects when the LROOE tour is over. Are you currently actively working on some solo works? And what exactly are you wearing.. tell me slowly.."

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah, ticky - sounds like you are gettin' it! :lol:

[MikeA]

I'm wondering if Joe and Ringo will talk about the Beatles? As you all know, Ringo has pretty much declined to speak of that era. Mark Lane interview Joe on a radio broadcast back in 2000 or somewhere along about then and even back then, Mark said to Joe that Ringo had refused interviews that had anything to do with the Beatles.

I sure hope that interview is recorded by someone. I'd love to hear it and know that I'm not going to be able to listen to anything for several days <sigh>.

[Maleah]

Ticky I think you should definently ask him that....ALL of that! Haha it would be interesting to see if they would give him the entire question. I'm sure he would be amused. ;)

[sodascouts]

Listening to Green Day on Eagles Radio now. I really like Green Day but I was surprised - and happy - to hear it here!

[Maleah]

They play quite a bit of Green Day! I was suprised! Joe must be a big fan. lol

[AzEaglesFan]

On a Google alert they posted that you could e-mail Joe at eagles@ape.radio.com (eagles@ape.radio.com) and he would answer your questions. They also said that in an interview Don had said that the Eagles would not be touring the rest of this year and Joe said YES that is was true.:worried:

[glenneaglesfan]

Wow, I didn't know about this radio, and thanks for the links to some pics I haven't seen before!

[Peekaboo]

They also said that in an interview Don had said that the Eagles would not be touring the rest of this year and Joe said YES that is was true.:worried:

Bummer!!! I guess this just gives me more time to save up for another concert!! Well, i'm hoping to go to another one. :pray:

[DonFan]

I hope Don uses his time off to complete his next solo album. He has been talking about recording an album of new standards, and I have been looking forward to this for ages!

[GlennLover]

Heard Joe say yesterday that they received an E mail from Danielle in The Netherlands, asking what the Eagles are doing now. (Could this be from our very own Mrs. Henley?!!!!!) Anyway, his reply was a typically Eagles', "I don't know", LOL. He then went on to say that they worked hard this year and therefore wouldn't be doing anymore concerts for the rest of the year. But.....he then said that they had more concerts to play in the States next year!!!! :partytime:

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like Eagles radio is a good place to hear news.

Come on Joe. Asia and the Pacific have been waiting since 2004. Yes, go back to the West Coast of the US, but please don't forget us. :sad:

[Prettymaid]

Okay, even though I'm never able to listen, I emailed Joe a question! Here's what I asked...



Hi Joe!

Greetings from the fertilizer of Irving Azoff's genius!

Are you currently working towards putting out a solo album? If so, any timeline for a release date?

Thanks,

Cathy,
My town and state

[Troubadour]

Cathy,
My town and state

And phone number, home and cell, daytime, evening and weekends...;)

Seriously though. Great message! Hope you get a response.

[Prettymaid]

And phone number, home and cell, daytime, evening and weekends...;)

Seriously though. Great message! Hope you get a response.


Everybody who listens is going to have to let me know if he mentions my email!

[sodascouts]

Good deal! Here's hoping! I'd sure like to know!

I think the "ask Joe" aspect is the best part of Eagles radio!

[TimothyBFan]

Way to go Cathy! Hope we get the answer.

[Peekaboo]

So cool, Cathy. That would be so awesome if we get to hear his response to your email.

[AmarilloByMorning]

Haha, I heard "eagles@aperadio.com" and presumed it a veiled joke/reference to the BBF video. Ahh well.

What is this "google alert" phenomenon by the way?

[ticky]

They keep announcing a phone number too!! I keep MISSING IT!! Im going to SUPER GLUE a freakin pen to my desk so no one can TAKE it... well I guess that wouldnt do me any good either... anyway, Ill tatoo the dang number to my forehead next time I hear if I have too!!!!

btw Cathy, I havent hear your email yet, but he seems to be reading them as he gets em.. soo maybe I missed it?


I just read in Joe Vitale's book about how Joe and Rick the Bass player made suits for themselves from news papers and scotch tape on a flight to Florida once and wore them off the plane and all the way through the airport back in '84. Maybe I should suggest this might be a viable replacement for the current concert attire? *G*

[AmarilloByMorning]

Maybe I should suggest this might be a viable replacement for the current concert attire? *G*I'll sign that petition!! Go with the comics, Joe! That's fantastic.

Riddle me this: I've heard "Take it Easy" several thousand times over the course of my lifetime. Yet every time those opening twangs pierce the air I completely lose my mind. This behavior is not observed for any other Eagles song and seems the exclusive product of this particular stimuli. I should be placed in a test tube and studied.

[ticky]

Nahh.. happens to me too... it's like Musical crack! something about that intro...

[Prettymaid]

Musical crack - now there's an analogy!

[ticky]

AHHH I got it.. FINALLY!!!
1-866-686-1010

he said call up and leave a message. Im pretty sure deep breathing wouldnt be taken seriously so Im going to have to think of something to actually say, besides my phone number and improper suggestions. Im thinking...

[AzEaglesFan]

Make sure that your name doesn't come up on their Caller ID, JUST in case all you can do is breathe heavy. I would be to tongue tied to get a word out just thinking that Joe might hear my voice.:-(

[TimothyBFan]

Make sure that your name doesn't come up on their Caller ID,

Just in case they have that restraining order against the woman that keeps sending the death threats and body parts to Mr Azoff.

[MikeA]

Ticky and ABM

"Take It Easy" That intro really takes two guitars playing duo. The chords are "G" "C" "Am7" and then back to "G". That's the "background" part though, you know, the part that is sort of a rapid strum with emphasis on the lower strings.

You only strike strings 1 2 3 4 on these overplays and let them Ring over the strummed guitar.

The part you HEAR over the "G" chord is 1.3 2.3.
Over the "C", you play 1.3 2.1 4.2

Over the "Am7" you play 1.3 2.1 3.2

At least, that's the way I play it.

If you want to play it with full chords and make it sound like Glenn and Joe did it, Play the "G" normally. Then play the "C" with you little finger parked on the 3rd fret of the 1st string (C/G). Then you make the third chord which is actually a Dsus4 by 1.3 2.1 3.2. With those chords, you can strum the entire intro and get the sound out of just ONE guitar. Or at least, get it pretty close. The key is that 3rd fret on the first string.

It is a very powerful chord progression but just doesn't sound right played with one guitar.

[Brooke]

Whatever it is, gets me every time, too! My all time favorite Eagles song. :thumbsup:

[ticky]

WHEW.. pant pant pant... Okay.. I sent my first email to Joe. :thud:

I asked Mark Lane what to ask and he told me to ask him about a connection he has with Billy Joel's drummer Chris Burgi and what that connection was. SO.. I did.. Mark says it'll crack him up. Here's hoping!! :partytime::fear:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Good job, ticky and I commend you on the restraint you have shown here! :lol:

[Prettymaid]

WHEW.. pant pant pant... Okay.. I sent my first email to Joe. :thud:

Whoa! I thought the panting was you practicing for the "breathing heavy" phone call. Now Ticky, we'd better get an answer because you've piqued my curiosity! :nod:

[AmarilloByMorning]

Im pretty sure deep breathing wouldnt be taken seriously :hilarious:

Mike - THANK YOU! I like the G/C; it's the subtle distinctions that make all the difference. My Dad and I are going to try it together, and I'm certain between my questionable harmonic abilities and Dad's combined affinity for amps and complete disregard for noise complaints I'll have plenty of reports to track our progress, most of them signed by law enforcement officials.

I'm trying to decide whether sending a question every weekday would be overkill. Thoughts?

[sodascouts]

What is this "google alert" phenomenon by the way?

It's great! There's a service provided by Google (Yahoo also does it) where you can sign up to be alerted every time a certain phrase appears in a newly-posted article ("eagles," "glenn frey", etc.) It's a great way to get news from all over. It's how I get most of my Eagles news.

[MikeA]

Well ABM, You can post them thar questions, but I'm not a real musician. I just know how to find answers out there on the Web <LOL> Howsomeever, I'd shore give a shot at an answer.

If you have a real tough question, you might ask BB. And there are a couple more accomplished musicians on here too.

[AzEaglesFan]

I have a question. I was listening to Eagles' Radio last night and Joe mentioned that he has a dedicated line and would be posting from the road. Did anyone else hear him say this and does it mean that he is going to be doing some solo shows or is it going to be used when the Eagles go back out?

I heard him say that a couple of weeks ago & I wondered too about him being "on the road" :headscratch:.

[sodascouts]

I can only assume he's talking about when he's on the road with the Eagles, unless they're not touring in the spring either.

[AmarilloByMorning]

“Don’t Twitter? What the hell is that, anyway? Don’t facebook? Don’t myspace, or yourspace? Call… Just leave a message. *singsong* mayyybe I’ll callll…” Joe cracks me up.

[Brooke]

Been listening today since I'm here by myself this week.

Blue Moon-Marcels, Heartache Tonight (!), and The Needle and The Spoon-Lynyrd Skynyrd! Quite a mix! :lol:

[Brooke]

Just heard Joe answer an email from someone and they asked what they were going to do next. He said they were done for this year and needed a break, but would be touring more in the states next year!

Are you ready ticky?

[sodascouts]

Yep, 'bout time they made it to the west coast (I can be unselfish now that I've seen them more than once, lol).

[ticky]

I am sooooooooo ready...

[Wildthyme]

Yep, 'bout time they made it to the west coast (I can be unselfish now that I've seen them more than once, lol).

Well if they don't hit the west coast next year just remember I know where their tour manager lives and I am still not above picketing in front of his house until I get what I want! :nahnah:

[sodascouts]

Bet you could enlist a few more West Coast folks in your picketing.

I can see it now - large protest signs....

"PLAY GOLDEN STATE OR GET WEST COAST HATE"

"MAKE LOVE TO WASHINGTON STATE NOT WASHINGTON DC"

"TAKE OREGON TRAIL AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME TAIL"

OK, I'll stop now!

[ticky]

LOL Soda.. I like those.. whadaya say Cami? A picket campaign just before Christmas? hehehe

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Those are good, Soda - but, the boys can come back to Washington, D.C. whenever they want and nobody here better try and stop 'em! :fight:

[TimothyBFan]

"TAKE OREGON TRAIL AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME TAIL"



:rofl:Hilarious!! :thumbsup:

[eaglesvet]

Those are excellent, Soda! Maybe you have a future working in college athletic departments??

[TimothyBFan]

Thought I'd shut off Sirius today and play Eagles Radio. Second song I heard after tuning in was Take It Easy!! :thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Heard Smuggler's Blues a bit ago and it occured to me that he plays solo stuff from all the current Eagles except you know who. So I just emailed him and requested he play anything off of Expando because it would be great to hear it get a little airplay. We'll see what happens. I wonder how often they record some of his bits on here and how often they change things up. It really would be nice and helpful if he would play some Tim stuff.

[TimothyBFan]

This is just how frickin' pathetic I am. I was working all day yesterday in the kitchen trying to get ready for the Christmas baking and stuff. While I was, I had on Eagle Radio and I was curious about how many Eagles songs they actually play, so every time they played one, I wrote it down.

Here's the list (I told you I was pathetic!).

7:25 Long Run
9:45 Rocky Mountain Way
10:10 End Of The Innocence
11:30 Take It Easy
12:05 Funk # 49
1:10 Lyin' Eyes
2:16 Hotel California
3:34 The Heart Of The Matter
4:00 Already Gone
4:31 All Night Long
5:30 In The City

And then the family started getting home and my quiet was done. :hilarious:
For the record, they also played 5 Pink Floyd songs and an interview between David Gilmour and Joe Walsh, and 5 Led Zeppelin songs also.

[Troubadour]

Wow! What a tracklist! :nod:

I'm surprised he doesn't play Tim's music. Tim always has nice things to say about Joe. Mmmmmm - come on Joe, let's hear some Timmy.

[Brooke]

Ok, so we all have to send Joe an email or call in. Joe, play some Tim! :thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Got tired of my Pandora Christmas playlist today so turned on Eagles Radio and they are playing Wilco, I'm The Man Who Loves You. I know we have a Borderer her that really likes them so of course I thought about that. Also, about a half hour ago, Joe said "Hey Danielle, yes I remember the Eagles Chicks sign. Thanks for your email". I'm assuming that was Danielle aka Mrs. Henley because I seem to remember her saying she had written him an email. So at least we know he is reading the emails.

Gotta say, loving the little spots of Timothy saying things like "welcome to Eagles Radio" and such!!! I just wish they would play some of his music.

[TimothyBFan]

Someone help me out here. I'm listening to Sirius Radio today and a spot just came on of Timothy saying "my favorite part of the holidays blah blah....", anyways, same commercial I've been hearing on Eagles Radio. My question is (and maybe I already knew, but forgot) is Eagles Radio somehow connected with Sirius/XM satelite radio? I'm confused!

[Stars]

TBF, thanks for thinking of me when you heard Wilco! Of course, there may be other Borderers who love Wilco too! LOL.
Speaking of Wilco, I have never seen them in concert, and hubby is taking me to see them for my birthday in February-can hardly wait!!:partytime:

[sodascouts]

"Eagles Radio" is part of the "iheartradio" network which is owned by Clear Channel, Sirius/XM's competitor (unless they somehow merged when I wasn't looking). Is the spot a commercial for Expando that Timothy could have purveyed in order to promote his album?

[TimothyBFan]

Nope-he doesn't even mention Expando, just says something like "This is Timothy B Schmit of the Eagles and I enjoy the holidays because....yadda yadda yadda". It just really surprised me this morning when I heard it on The 70's on 7 channel because I know I've heard several times on Eagles Radio this week also.

[luvthelighthouse]

I'm going off topic here, but... my good friend/co-worker lives in the same neighborhood as Jeff Tweedy. She couldn't make it to Timothy's show, because she was at the Wilco show that night. They have mutual neighborhood friends and have mixed it up at some parties. Cool, eh?

[TimothyBFan]

Bringing this forward again because listening this morning, which I haven't done in a very, very long time. Like I said in another thread, I'm hearing Timothy's voice during the song breaks more than Joe's today.

I'm wondering how often they replay things or change the format, etc.? The reason is because since I haven't listened for so long, I thought maybe I'd hear some newer interviews, promotions for the fall season shows, etc., but I just heard an interview from Joe with David Gilmour (thought of you Lou!) which I had heard ages ago. And then a bit ago, they actually played a commercial for the "Summer Tour with the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban". WTH? Seriously? They're within days of starting their fall tour, why are they still playing this instead of something new to promote the upcoming shows? :-( That kind of disappointed me.

[Peekaboo]

I haven't listened for a long time either. I would've expected the radio station to be updated a little more since Joe is on there quite a bit but in some ways i'm not too surprised since they don't update their own website very much.

[EaglesFanatic]

I just got an email from a guy from the radio channel. If any of you guys wanna do this:

"Joe's birthday is this Saturday 11/20... and I'm taking calls from all our listeners this week, and then putting those calls on the air!

All you need to do is call: 1-866-686-1010, then press 2 for the Eagles Radio Mailbox. Give us your name and where you're from as well.

Leave your message, and I will get it on the air by Friday (rotating through the day.)"

[TimothyBFan]

Doesn't give anyone much time but that sure would be cool. I just don't have the nerve.

[sodascouts]

Hmm, maybe I'll give a call!

[Brooke]

I called in this afternoon. Just took a few seconds, but I don't ever get a chance to listen so I won't get to hear myself. :rolleyes:

Btw, I said I was Brooke from The Border! lol

[EaglesFanatic]

Btw, I said I was Brooke from The Border! lol
Haha, nice :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well thanks for letting us know about this EF. Unfortunately, I guess it's too late now, but I like the idea.

[sodascouts]

Anybody heard anyone on the radio yet? I just started listening to it, but nothing so far.

ETA: Just heard a guy - nobody we know yet!

[tequila girl]

They're playing Tequila Sunrise now.......but still haven't heard from anyone here!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well I called in this afternoon and left Joe a birthday message, but it was probably too late for them to play it, which is fine by me! :lol:

[sodascouts]

The ones they're playing are about 45 - 60 seconds each. I think my "Hi, this is Nancy from Memphis, Happy birthday Joe!" is too short to make it to the airwaves.

[tequila girl]

I tried calling......but must have somehow got the international dialling code wrong, I was unsuccessful anyway...:-(

[tequila girl]

As I couldn't get through on the phone I tried the email that Joe *just* recited and I got this back

I think it's eagles@aperadio.com . I'm sorry you didn't have much luck with calling :(

[tequila girl]

Thanks, I'll try that :thumbsup:
I obviously wasn't hearing right :oops: :blush: :blush:

[sodascouts]

I just heard them play the same guy wishing Joe a happy birthday - "Robert Bebe"- that I heard them play four hours ago. Looks like that's it - a handful of different people they're going to play again and again and again.

That kind of sucks.

[tequila girl]

It seems to be the same as their web site.....very poorly managed - if at all! :-( I looked on Joes Website earlier - they're still advertising a calendar/mousemat for 2009!

[tequila girl]

I'm looking for a job I could do at home....d'ya think i'd have a chance of being their webmaster? or whatever it's called :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

I like it when they throw in 80s and 90s stuff such as U2, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M. and Green Day. I like the rockers from the 70s they play. However, they're kind of heavy on the weird / psychedelic stuff, which is definitely not my thing.

[sodascouts]

I'm looking for a job I could do at home....d'ya think i'd have a chance of being their webmaster? or whatever it's called :hilarious:

Now THAT would be a sweet gig!

[Troubadour]

Wow, pretty cool track list!

[Peekaboo]

I hadn't listened to the Eagles radio station in a while so I thought I'd check it out and now you have to set up an account to listen. When did that happen? I signed up anyway just because i wanted to listen and support what our guys are doing. I don't know what good will come of it though.

Oooh, second song in and they are already playing Tequila Sunrise. :smile: :yay:

[Annabel]

I used to enjoy listening to this. :rockon: Shame it's not available now here. :thumbsdown: :weep:
