Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor

[sodascouts]

Time for our next Song Survivor! Our game this time will be Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list the Non-Studio Album songs here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good! However, you do need to have been a member in good standing for at least three weeks before you are allowed to cast a vote.

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

We also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.

Here's how immunity questions work. After the end of the round, I ask a question related to the songs. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining song to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. You must include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune in your post in order for it to count. I'll allow two hours for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any song being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful!

GAME OVER! CONGRATS TO

SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD!

[sodascouts]

I cast my vote for Get You in the Mood.

There's a reason that it didn't make the first album. I think it's good to hear it just as a baseline representation to show how far Glenn has come as a songwriter - but it's on the bottom rung.

[Freypower]

You decided to include it in this game after all, Soda! I know it won't last long.... :worried:

I re-read the previous game topic & while it probably will not be popular I must still vote for my least favourite of these songs. The band don't agree, as they persist in playing it while many superior songs (to me) are long gone from their setlist.

So I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[EagleLady]

I vote for Get You In The Mood

[whitcap]

I vote Get You in the Mood

[sodascouts]

You decided to include it in this game after all, Soda! I know it won't last long.... :worried:


Yeah, I figured it wouldn't hurt to include it. You're right, though - if it makes it past his round, I'll be surprised.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for the Girl From Yesterday.

[Eve]

Get you in the Mood.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well I agree that Get You In the Mood should go pretty early in the game, but to me. it's not the worst song here. As a matter of fact, I kind of like the 'moody' music in the song. I'm a bit surprised because I thought Funky New Year would be the first song eliminated here - poor thing doesn't have a lot going for it, unless you want to count repetition as a good thing. :grin: I'm gonna withhold my vote for now and see how this round plays out.

[WalshFan88]

Get You In The Mood

[AzEaglesFan]

I'll go with the flow and vote for Get You in The Mood

[Koala]

I cast my vote for Get You in the Mood.

[Annabel]

I vote 'Get you in the Mood'

[tequila girl]

I vote for Get You in the Mood

[TimothyBFan]

So I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

:woah: I don't even have words.....


I vote for Get You In The Mood.

Never have liked it and agree with Soda, there's a reason it was left off the album.

[GlennLover]

I cast my vote for Funky New Year.

[eaglesvet]

Hey all, I finally stumbled back in and look what I found! Another Survivor game to join! I really wanted to have a bit more time to catch back up and comment on the WEATHER (which I will do), but in the meantime, I will cast my vote for a song I just listened to for the first time...and was not impressed by.

I vote for GET YOU IN THE MOOD. (What album was it left off of, and where did you get it from, then?)

[TimothyBFan]

Eva-it was the B-side of Take It Easy but didn't make it onto the album. For good reason me thinks. JMO

[eaglesvet]

Wow, what a mixed message if you bought that 35, huh?

[sodascouts]

And I don't think it'll ever make it onto CD. I had to order the single from Ebay and rip the song via my record player with the USB port that transfers audio to the computer.

Still, it is kind of a shame if it doesn't ever make it onto a CD simply because all Eagles music should be preserved for austerity, IMHO!

[Shadowland07]

I vote for....The Girl From Yesterday. As far as Get You In the Mood though, I think it's a pretty good song. I like listening to it, the guitars are nice and a bit bluesy. I got my copy from iTunes though.

[Troubadour]

I'm going to vote for Funky New Year. Although I like it for what it is (and quite enjoy Don's grunts 'n' groans:angel:), it's obviously very much a novelty song.

I like Get You In The Mood. It's moody and, although not up to the standard of the remaining songs, I would listen to it more than Funky New Year. I think the under-produced, less-than-polished feel of it actually adds to the appeal, for me. It's like a little glimpse into the past - back to basics. Glenn's vocals are sweet and endearing.

[Brooke]

I second all that Troub! You took the words right outta my mouth! Love Glenn's vocals on GYITM and the bluesy style of the song. FNY is right up there with Teenage Jail for me, but better!

I therefore cast my vote for Funky New Year, my first thought on what to vote for first when I knew it would be in the game!

[Freypower]

I'm glad a couple of people have said a few positive things about GYITM. I said in the previous game that it has a certain 'raw charm' & you have to take into account how young Glenn was when he wrote it.

[Freypower]

:woah: I don't even have words.....




I'm sorry, TBF, but just as you've never liked Get You In The Mood, I'm afraid I've never liked LWKUA. There are better songs in their catalogue which they no longer play, yet they still play this. This has precisely nothing to do with Tim. The song is just bland.

[Prettymaid]

Where can I hear Funky New Year? I'm not sure if I know it.

[timfan]

I vote for Funky New Year

[Troubadour]

Cathy - a live version is on the Selected Works box set. I'm not sure where you can hear it online, though...

[Prettymaid]

Thanks Lou.

Without knowing FNY, I will have to vote for The Girl From Yesterday. For lack of a better explanation, it's too country for me.

[pueblo47]

I vote off Get You In The Mood.

[GlennLover]

I like Get You In The Mood. It's moody and, although not up to the standard of the remaining songs, I would listen to it more than Funky New Year. I think the under-produced, less-than-polished feel of it actually adds to the appeal, for me. It's like a little glimpse into the past - back to basics. Glenn's vocals are sweet and endearing.

I feel the same way, Troub & FP! I enjoy GYITM. I do keep in mind that is one of Glenn's early compositions when I listen to it.He does a fine job on the vocals, IMHO. :)

FNY does nothing for me. Not melodic enough.

[Freypower]

I still don't think it would have hurt if Glenn had sung FNY. I think it would have given it another dimension. But there you are. I'm not crazy about the song either.

[sodascouts]

PM and those who haven't heard it - here's a live version of Funky New Year:

http://www.vimeo.com/14134561

(The "Millennium Rap" in the middle was an add-on for the show)

[Peekaboo]

I just logged on after about a week and saw that there's another Survivor game :yay: and I had to come here first. I immediately started making my list but I noticed that Get Over It isn't included in this game. :headscratch: Hmm, if I'm not mistaken it's also a non-studio album song too, right? I'm a bit sad to not see it in the game because I think that song totally ROCKS!! :headbang:

My vote in this first round is for Get You In The Mood. I do like Glenn's vocals but I think mostly the reason it gets my vote before FNY is because I don't listen to it very much. I will listen to FNY if it's in the rotation on my Eagles playlist but I very rarely listen GYITM. Plus, I gotta agree with Lou about Don's "grunts 'n' groans" on FNY...totally sexy, imo.

[Freypower]

I'm sure when Soda sees your post she will include GOI, Peek.

[tequila girl]

Thanks for the clip of Funky New Year Soda :thumbsup: I knew i'd seen it somewhere but couln't remember where.........Don gives us some gorgeous smiles there!:inlove:

[Annabel]

He's a bit of a mover in that one too. :thumbsup:

[Wildthyme]

I do like the bluesy sound of GYITM and I can't help but wonder that if it had been produced for inclusion on an album that maybe it would be a better song. As it is I think Glenn's vocals sound rather weak and somewhat off key on the verses (though stronger on the chorus). It might just be this version but whatever the issue its my least favorite song of this Survivor game. However since I think a vote for it would be wasted at this point my vote this round is simply strategic with an eye toward the future and goes to Life's Been Good.

[GlennLover]

I wondered the same thing, Peek.

Awwwww! And I LOVE TGFY! Shows how different we all can be! I'm voting this round for 'Funky New Year'

[sodascouts]

I'm afraid the omission of "Get Over It" was a mistake. If anyone would like to change their vote to "Get Over It" then feel free! My apologies. :blush:

[GlennLover]

I'm afraid the omission of "Get Over It" was a mistake. If anyone would like to change their vote to "Get Over It" then feel free! My apologies. :blush:

Don't worry about it, Soda! We'll "get over it".

[tequila girl]

I'm afraid the omission of "Get Over It" was a mistake. If anyone would like to change their vote to "Get Over It" then feel free! My apologies. :blush:
Noted that 'Get over it' is now in the running....but i'm happy with my original vote :thumbsup:

[Peekaboo]

I'm afraid the omission of "Get Over It" was a mistake. If anyone would like to change their vote to "Get Over It" then feel free! My apologies. :blush:


Whew, Okay good. This doesn't change my vote but i do need to fix my list just a teeny bit.

[Prettymaid]

Awwwww! And I LOVE TGFY! Shows how different we all can be! I'm voting this round for 'Funky New Year'

Sorry Lisa!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, as I said earlier, I would have liked to see Get You In the Mood outlast Funky New Year at least. Oh well - I guess this could be seen as the battle of songs with awesome Eagles lyrics ...

Get You In the Mood
"I get so wasted in the city
Last girl I hit on wasn't very pretty"

Funky New Year
"They were passin' 'round the bottle, made me feel brand new
Trouble with the new man - he wants a hit too, hit me"

Tough choice, for sure! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Since this round is decided, I'll go ahead and cast a strategic vote ...

I cast my vote for Hole In the World.

[Freypower]

I have never understood the 'trouble with the new man' line because it has nothing to do with the rest of the song & it makes me feel uneasy because if taken literally it appears to be referring to Tim. Maybe a new person has come to this amazing party & it is his turn for a 'hit'. :headscratch: :smokin:

[sodascouts]

The first song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Get You in the Mood . “Get You In the Mood”, I'm sorry - don't go spending all your time in pity, now! It's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 2 is as follows:

Which songs are covers (meaning that another artist recorded them before the Eagles did)?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[Freypower]

Seven Bridges Road & Please Come Home For Christmas

The Girl From Yesterday immune please.

[sodascouts]

That's right!

THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY is immune.

Round 2 starts NOW!

[whitcap]

Life's Been Good, All Night Long, Seven Bridges Road, Love will keep us alive, please come home for christmas

the girl from yesterday immune

[sodascouts]

Life's Been Good is arguable, but Love Will Keep Us Alive was never released before the Eagles did it.

[Freypower]

All Night Long is also arguable as it was on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack but was that released before Eagles Live? I based my answer on a belief that LWKUA had not in fact been recorded before the Eagles did even though they didn't write it. I would exempt both ANL & LBG on the basis that they were recorded first by Joe while he was a member of the Eagles (the same goes for In The City).

[whitcap]

Life's Been Good is arguable, but Love Will Keep Us Alive was never released before the Eagles did it.

Okay. I wasn't sure about that one. I just listed it because I knew it was written by someone else.

[EagleLady]

I vote for Please Come Home For Christmas

[Freypower]

So I'm not the only one who doesn't think PCHFC is all that wonderful... then I will vote for Please Come Home For Christmas & I apologise to the majority of you whom I know love the song.

[sodascouts]

Okay. I wasn't sure about that one. I just listed it because I knew it was written by someone else.

It's cool - I just didn't want you to think I was just ignoring your answer! If would have accepted LBG and ANL, but they weren't required since it's arguable about whether Joe's earlier work should be counted or not.

[Troubadour]

I'm glad that The Girl From Yesterday is immune. I love that song. I sincerely hope no-one else votes for Please Come Home For Christmas, though! ;) I think it is a gorgeous song. Don's vocals make me melt. As always, very interesting to see what appeals to other people and what doesn't. I'm always surprised during these Survivor games!

I will stick with my previous choice, and vote for Funky New Year. I like it for what it is - a bit of fun - but is it a song that I'd listen to over and over? Nah.

[sodascouts]

I have never understood the 'trouble with the new man' line because it has nothing to do with the rest of the song & it makes me feel uneasy because if taken literally it appears to be referring to Tim. Maybe a new person has come to this amazing party & it is his turn for a 'hit'. :headscratch: :smokin:

No, no! The guy in the song has a REALLY BAD hangover, and he's remembering how the night before he felt like a new man after drinking from the liquor bottle they were passing around (you know how it is - people become different after drinking). However, even after he got drunk and became a "new man" he got even drunker (he still wanted a "hit" even after he got drunk)... hence his horrible hangover.

[Freypower]

Yes, I see how it relates to 'made me feel brand new' but I don't think it's very well expressed. As people have said it isn't one of their great lyrics. :?

[sodascouts]

Eh. They were probably blasted when they wrote it!

It does have some funny lines thought:

"My hair hurts"

"Whose shoes are these?"

"What year is this anyway?"

Those make me laugh every time!

[whitcap]

I vote for Funky New Year

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yes, I see how it relates to 'made me feel brand new' but I don't think it's very well expressed. As people have said it isn't one of their great lyrics. :?

Well while I agree that the lyrics to Funky New Year are lame, they actually do make perfect sense to me! :lol:

[Shadowland07]

I vote....All Night Long

[WalshFan88]

Save Life's Been Good, Vote for Funky New Year.

I vote Funky New Year

[tequila girl]

My vote this round goes to Funky New Year

[Glennsallnighter]

Sorry Lisa!

No problem Cathy! The fact that we all favour different songs here is one of the reasons it is such an interesting board!

[Koala]

I vote for All Night Long

[TimothyBFan]

I'm one of the rare ones who really loves Funky New Year. I thinks it's a catchy little tune and I love the lyrics. Been there, done that!

I'm afraid I'm all over the place on this game. I didn't even make a list this time because I can't really decide how to order them. :confused:

This round, my vote goes for One Day At A Time. I really like it but I feel the other songs are more worthy.

[Prettymaid]

Thanks for the Funky New Year clip. It's...funky. I probably would have voted for it first and not for TGFY, but I don't think it's going to matter too much. As far as the "new man" LYRIC in FNY, I agree with Soda. Maybe they were also trying to make it relate to the new year. New year...new man. Isn't it funny how the word 'funky' can be used to describe something both good and bad? Just hearing the title I would have imagined it to be a positive description but clearly it's not. Lol!


This round, my vote goes for One Day At A Time. I really like it but I feel the other songs are more worthy.

:weep:So soon Willie?

I vote for Funky New Year.

[Brooke]

I vote for Funky New Year.

[sodascouts]

Isn't it funny how the word 'funky' can be used to describe something both good and bad? Just hearing the title I would have imagined it to be a positive description but clearly it's not. Lol!

I've often thought the same thing. I still use it in a positive way, despite the fact that the guy is the song is definitely feeling bad-funky. lol

[Annabel]

I'll vote for Funky New Year too. Didn't know it before coming here but it didn't really grab me. Was a good bit of fun though. :laugh:

[sodascouts]

I was going to vote for FNY but it appears it doesn't need my help out the door! Therefore...

I cast my vote for Learn to Be Still.

It depresses me overall. The sudden upturn at the end, which directly contradicts the first verse, still leaves me unsatisfied.

[AzEaglesFan]

I vote for Funky New Year

[pueblo47]

I vote for Please Come Home For Christmas(Christmas is OVER....you know who I'm talking to...ho ho ho)

[Glennsallnighter]

Think I'll stick with last rounds vote and run with 'Funky New Year' again.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for Learn To Be Still.

[GlennLover]

I was going to vote FNY too, but as it seems that it will be going I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still. I like the song allright but I have to be in the mood to listen to it. It's just my least favorite of the songs remaining.

[Eve]

I actually have the single Funky New Year and Please Come Home For Christmas. Found it at the swap meet.

So I am voting for Learn to be Still. Just because.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well it looks like Funky New Year is going down this time - such a shame! :wink: I would vote for it if necessary, but now I'll go ahead and cast another strategic vote ...

I cast my vote for Hole In the World.

[sodascouts]

The second song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Funky New Year. “Funky Year New”, I know that everything hurts right now, but it'll get better. It's time for you to leave the island. (You probably need to lie down in a dark room anyway). The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 3 is as follows:

Which song was written by the same songwriting team that wrote "Heartache Tonight"?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[Freypower]

Funky New Year

The Girl From Yesterday immune please.

[sodascouts]

That's correct!

THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY is immune.

Round 3 starts NOW!

[EagleLady]

Once again I vote off Please Come Home for Christmas

[Freypower]

I will also vote for Please Come Home For Christmas as my preferred vote for LWKUA would be wasted at this stage.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for learn to be still.

[Shadowland07]

I vote for All Night Long

[luvthelighthouse]

When I saw TBS's video on Facebook, I had to come over here...It was a happy surprise to find a Survivor game going on!

I cast my vote for Get Over It. It's not horrible... but it's seems to go on too long for me...

[AzEaglesFan]

I'll go with Get Over It

[sodascouts]

I'll stick with my last vote...

I cast my vote for "Learn to Be Still."

[WalshFan88]

Please Come Home For Christmas

[Peekaboo]

Oh shoot!! I missed the last round. Oh well, I was gonna vote for Funky New Year anyway.

My next vote will be for All Night Long. I love the song and think it totally rocks but I'm only voting for it now because even though they have clearly performed this song in concert in the past I still see it as more of a Joe song than say Life's Been Good, Walk Away, and Funk 49. The three that I mentioned feel more like the Eagles to me since i've seen the guys perform them in concert a few times.

[tequila girl]

My vote goes to All Night Long

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I think Learn To Be Still is a very underrated song. I don't find the lyrics as depressing as Soda because the last verse gives a sense of hope and I also love Don's vocals and the melody.

Please Come Home for Christmas is a gorgeous song and I don't think it should be penalized based on the fact that it is seasonal. That's kinda like saying that all the foods that are associated with Thanksgiving dinner aren't that good because you only eat them once a year. :lol:

And Jess, I pretty much agree with everything you said about All Night Long. Even though the Eagles had it in their setlist for a brief time, I consider Life's Been Good an adopted Eagles song since it has been in the band's setlist continuously since about 1979. However, the main reason I think it's time for it to go is because I like the other songs in the game better (with the exception of HITW). I'm actually going to vote earlier than I normally do. Since there doesn't seem to be much change of getting HITW eliminated this round, let's join forces to eliminate All Night Long ...

I cast my vote for All Night Long.

[whitcap]

I vote for Get Over It. Its a great song, but I prefer the others that are left.

[GlennLover]

Difficult decision at this point boy, I vote for All Night Long.

[pueblo47]

Please Come Home for Christmas is a gorgeous song and I don't think it should be penalized based on the fact that it is seasonal. That's kinda like saying that all the foods that are associated with Thanksgiving dinner aren't that good because you only eat them once a year. :lol:
Heh heh heh, didn't think you'd catch that, but since you did, I vote for Get Over It......:hilarious:

[timfan]

I vote for All Night Long

[Eve]

Get Over It.

[Freypower]

I completely agree with you about LTBS, a song which always helps me when I am stressed. But my objection to PCHFC isn't that it's seasonal. I dislike it because I find it too slow, bland & some of the lyrics just don't strike a chord with me at all, though I have tried, believe me. I particularly don't like the 'I'll be happy, happy, once again' part. I just find that clumsy. I know the song is old but I don't think it suits the band at all.

I can't believe there are votes for Get Over It, which is a wonderful, perfect Henley-Frey song.

[sodascouts]

I have to say, this game is really interesting. I have no idea what's going to come out on top! I'm keeping mum on my fave at this time. ;)

[eaglesvet]

Whoops, missed the last round. Darn.
Where can I hear "One Day at a Time?"

[sodascouts]

It's on the Farewell 1 DVD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odjeg8YyTxk

Did they ever perform it outside of those Australian shows?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - I saw them do it at the Hampton, VA show in March, 2005. However, they dropped it at some point that year because it wasn't done at the Oakland or Sacramento shows that I went to in October and November.

[sodascouts]

Seems like they sure dropped it quickly, then. I like it myself. Joe says it'll be on his new album, though, which I appreciate as a fan of the song. I wonder if the arrangement will get changed up?

[GlennLover]

I'm glad to hear that Joe is including it on his album. I like the song too.

[Annabel]

Get over it gets my vote this time round.

[Brooke]

Uh oh. I nearly forgot to come in and vote today! I'm pretty shocked (like Fp) that people are voting for GOI so early in the game! It's a fantastic, rockin' song written by our two founders of the band! I so wish they would do it in concert.

It's hard to know what else to vote for here. I pretty much like all the rest of the songs. So......since it wasn't written by one of the guys, even though I love it during the Christmas season, and I love the way Don sings it, it's pretty short and old.

I vote for Please Come Home For Christmas.

[TimothyBFan]

In everything going on right now, I almost forgot that round 3 ends tonight. Must also say I'm shocked by the votes for Get Over It!! The words to this song are so great, I thought it would last a lot longer. Besides it has a great beat and it's easy to dance to! :smile: I was gonna stick with my last round vote for One Day At A Time but in an attempt to save GOI....

as much as I hate to do it, I must vote for All Night Long.

[UK TimFan]

I vote for All night long.

[sodascouts]

The third song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is All Night Long. “All Night Long”, you're going to have to stay up somewhere else. It's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 4 is as follows:

Which song(s) first got released on a Joe Walsh solo album?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[whitcap]

Life's Been Good

The Girl from Yesterday immune

[sodascouts]

You got it, whitcap!

THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY is immune.

Round 4 starts NOW!

[WalshFan88]

Please Come Home For Christmas

Let's save Life's Been Good! :D

[EaglesFanatic]

I second that Austin!

I vote for Learn To Be Still

[EagleLady]

UGH I vote off Please Come Home for Christmas, That song is like a cockroach in which it won't go away :lol:

[whitcap]

I vote for Get Over It

[Freypower]

I will stick with Please Come Home For Christmas.

[Wildthyme]

Time for Please Come Home for Christmas to go...

[Eve]

Get Over It.

[luvthelighthouse]

Again, I vote for Get Over It.

While there are some decent lyrics in there... it's a song that stuck in my head and becomes annoying after a while. That ending just seems to go on forever...

[sodascouts]

Hmm... what to pick?

I think it's time to say goodbye to our seasonal cover, IMHO.

I cast my vote for Please Come Home for Christmas.

[Shadowland07]

I vote for...Love Will Keep Us Alive. I like it better when Felder played the solo, I recently watched Farewell 1 and I didn't like it as much as when they played it on Hell Freezes Over.

[eaglesvet]

It's on the Farewell 1 DVD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odjeg8YyTxk

Did they ever perform it outside of those Australian shows?

Thanks for posting this. The only problem was that I can't get YouTube at work, which is where I was last evening when I posed my question :nope::...just one white square is all I saw.

Then, today my Internet server was down all day at home, so I missed another round :ack:. Finally logged in now after Super Bowl festivities and clean up, and I kinda like the song! Definitely a few others I would toss beforehand.

My vote this round goes to Get Over It.

[AzEaglesFan]

Get Over It

[Koala]

I cast my vote for Please Come Home for Christmas

[TimothyBFan]

I actually love both of the songs that are getting all the votes this round so I'm sure one of them will be departing. :ack:

I, once again, vote for One Day At A Time.

[tequila girl]

Get over it

[pueblo47]

Get over itDon will be very unhappy with your vote against his song. For shame....jk

I vote for GET OVER IT (Don doesn't care about my vote, ha ha ha)

[tequila girl]

Don will be very unhappy with your vote against his song. For shame....jk

I vote for GET OVER IT (Don doesn't care about my vote, ha ha ha)
I know...:ack: but sadly it's the one I like least from the remaining songs........that's not to say I don't like it though! :spin:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - I have to say that while Get Over It isn't my favorite song in the game, IMO, it is better than several of the songs that are still here, including The Girl From Yesterday, which is protected by immunity. It looks like it is going to take a strong coalition to save it. So for anyone who wants to save Get Over It, it looks like the only hope is to cast your vote for Please Come Home for Christmas this round. I'm going to withhold my vote to see if the coalition works.

SAVE GET OVER IT!

VOTE FOR PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

[GlennLover]

I vote Please Home Home for Christmas.


SAVE GET OVER IT!

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Please Come Home for Christmas and encourage others to do the same! PCHFC for me is a song with limited meaning while Get Over It signifies the resumption of the Eagles after their fourteen year vacation!

[Annabel]

Oh dear I am going to stick with Get over it. Sorry. :shrug:

[Freypower]

I wish that at least the people who have voted for GOI would tell us why. LTL is the only person who gave a reason. This is the great Henley-Frey partnership in all its glory proving to the world that it still rocked. Each guitarist gets a solo. Henley gets to spit out his acerbic lyrics. What's not to like? As opposed to PCHFC & LWKUA which to put it mildly are probably the two least adventurous tracks of the band's career as well as having been written by other people (I exempt Seven Bridges Road from this). I can only think that the lyrics may touch the wrong nerve with some of you. :shrug:

[Brooke]

I would like to save Get Over It, too. Can't believe there's so many that don't like it. Don is so cute when he's singing it in the HFO dvd. Love that arm punch! :lol:

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas.

[Prettymaid]

I will easily vote for Please Come Home For Christmas this round!

[Peekaboo]

I must say that I'm quite shocked at the number of votes for GOI this soon. I was honestly thinking that wouldn't happen till much later in the game. I think it's a great rocker and I really wish the guys would put it in the set list. I can't even vote for PCHFC just yet either. Even though it's a cover for the Eagles I love it. I like to hear it any day of the year. I'm sticking to my list so this round I'm voting for Life's Been Good.

[Troubadour]

Help! I don't know what to vote for! It definitely won't be Get Over It or Please Come Home For Christmas. (Don's vocals = :thud:)

I think, with reluctance, I'll go for One Day At A Time. I love the lyrics and the message, but I have fond memories of Life's Been Good live, which is why I didn't vote for that instead. It was a tough call, though.

[Glennsallnighter]

Well mainly because it isn't very seasonal and hearing Christmas music in February doesn't do a lot for me, I think I'll vote off 'Please Come Home For Christmas' this round!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Gotta run out so I have to vote a little earlier than I wanted. It appears that PCHFC will go this time without my vote so I will once again vote strategically ...

I cast my vote for Hole In the World.

[sodascouts]

The fourth song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Please Come Home for Christmas. “Please Come Home for Christmas”, I have to tell you some sad, sad news. It's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 5 is as follows:

According to Felder in his book, Heaven and Hell, which song was originally written for a band that he and Timothy were putting together and submitted as such to Irving Azoff?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[Freypower]

I would think Love Will Keep Us Alive.

Seven Bridges Road immune please.

[sodascouts]

Very good, Freypower! That is correct.

SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD is immune.

Round 5 starts NOW!

[EagleLady]

I vote for Learn To Be Still

[Freypower]

Now I can return to what I wanted to vote for all along: Love Will Keep Us Alive.

(I thought TGFY had been immune long enough, though I love it, and it would appear that people want to see GOI go soon so there didn't seem much point in making it immune).

[Prettymaid]

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[WalshFan88]

Learn To Be Still

Again, let's save Life's Been Good. It certainly deserves to stick with us til the end! Next time someone please make LBG immune! :lol: I'm never fast enough! :(

[Shadowland07]

my vote....The Girl From Yesterday

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I thought TGFY had been immune long enough, though I love it, and it would appear that people want to see GOI go soon so there didn't seem much point in making it immune.

Well FP - that's what immunity is for. If you think a song may go that you don't want to be eliminated, then I would make it immune. But, I'm personally glad that TGFY is no longer immune. I love Glenn''s vocals in the song, but it's too country for me to love it.

And Austin - don't give up on trying for the immunity questions. Practice makes perfect! :wink:

[AzEaglesFan]

I vote for Get Over It.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[Koala]

I vote for Learn To Be Still.

[eaglesvet]

Actually, some arguments from the Peanut Gallery in the last round have shifted my priorities a lil' bit...I am changing my vote this time to LWKUA.

[EaglesKiwi]

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday. I like Glenn's singing but I really dislike the sentiment of a girl hanging around waiting for some guy who doesn't realise how good she is!

[Troubadour]

I vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive. I like it because it's pleasant and romantic, but it's not one of my favourite Eagles songs. It's kind of just "there" rather than outstanding, for me.

[TimothyBFan]

That hurts Lou!!! :-(

I must say, I'm very saddened about PCHFC being gone so soon. I know it's a cover and seasonal but it's the flippin' greatest version of that song ever!

This round looks as if it's going to be all over the place.

I also am switching my vote up a bit because of something I read in a comment in one of the previous rounds. One Day At A Time doesn't do much for me tho I appreciate what it's all about for Joe. But I feel these should be Eagles songs and not solo songs and it is an Eagles song. I love all the solo stuff also, but as I've said before, I go to an Eagles show to see Eagles songs. That being said, even tho I LOVE this song as a Joe song....

I must vote for Life's Been Good.

[Troubadour]

That hurts Lou!!! :-(

Awww, I'm sorry! :hug: I really like the song... I think Tim does a fantastic job and I'm glad it's still in the set list. It's just that the others stand out for me a little bit more. If I Can't Tell You Why or I Don't Want To Hear Anymore was in this list, I wouldn't have voted them off yet. I just think they "build" a bit more than LWKUA does. Just personal preference, I suppose.

[luvthelighthouse]

I too thought GOI would be next to go... but since TGFY is back in play, that could be in danger. I'm one of the people that love TGFY. I think Glenn sounds amazing! I also don't hate country music, so that probaby helps. I remember listening to this song over and over past summer, because I couldn't take in enough of Glenn's voice. Not voting yet...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay - I can't buy the argument about how One Day At a Time should be considered more of an Eagles song than Life's Been Good. Life's Been Good has been in the setlist for almost every Eagles live show since it was released in 1978. It appears on their Eagles Live album and the F1 DVD. On the other hand, One Day At a Time was only in the Farewell 1 setlist briefly from 2004 - 2005. While it also appears on the F1 DVD, it was not released on Long Road Out of Eden. Joe has indicated that it will be released on his upcoming solo album.

[TimothyBFan]

Well I didn't say it was necessarily a logical way of looking at it. :hilarious: Let me try to explain my thinking.

To me, when I hear Life's Been Good, I see Joe performing it way back when. I've heard and seen it so many times done by Joe only. I remember first hearing it on But Seriously Folks and loving it. It will always, always be a Joe song for me no matter how many times I see it performed with the Eagles. It started out a Joe song. Where as One Day At A Time, the first and only time I heard/saw it, was performed by the Eagles with Joe singing lead vocals. That's not to say a year from now after it's on Joe's solo album, without the Eagles backing him up, that I won't feel differently, but for now it's an Eagles song because I've not seen or heard it done any other way.

Does that make any sense at all? Probably not but it's perfectly logical to me. :)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Does that make any sense at all? Probably not but it's perfectly logical to me. :)

Well Willie - that all that counts anyway, isn't it? :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

Wow, this round is a mess! I'm still unsure what to vote for. I guess I'll stick with my list and one of these three with all the votes needs to go next.

I vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive. It's a lovely song and Tim sounds great, but it's my least favorite of the remaining.

[Freypower]

Well I didn't say it was necessarily a logical way of looking at it. :hilarious: Let me try to explain my thinking.

To me, when I hear Life's Been Good, I see Joe performing it way back when. I've heard and seen it so many times done by Joe only. I remember first hearing it on But Seriously Folks and loving it.

Does that make any sense at all? Probably not but it's perfectly logical to me. :)

I agree with that. That is exactly how I view the two songs. I'm one of the few people on this board who saw ODAAT & those harmonies just scream 'Eagles' at me.

As far as TGFY my heart said it should stay immune because it's Glenn's only remaining lead vocal in this game (I imagine my sentiments about this would be obvious) but my head said that it just isn't as good as a couple of the other songs. I'm glad I saw it live, though. I never saw GOI.

[Prettymaid]

With these Survivor games I try not to think about all of that. My list is made as to how much I like the song, plain and simple. :nod:

[GlennLover]

I too thought GOI would be next to go... but since TGFY is back in play, that could be in danger. I'm one of the people that love TGFY. I think Glenn sounds amazing! I also don't hate country music, so that probaby helps. I remember listening to this song over and over past summer, because I couldn't take in enough of Glenn's voice. Not voting yet...

I agree with you on this one, ltl. Love Glenn's voice on it. I will sometimes listen to it over & over as well. I also really like the lyrics. I'm not a fan of real country music, but TGFY has just the right amount of country for me. I'm going to withhold my vote for awhile too.

[sodascouts]

Glenn's voice is amazing on TGFY. Such passion!

I agree with TBF and FP about Life's Been Good. It may be played a lot at Eagles shows, but IMHO, that doesn't make it an Eagles song. By that definition, you could call Dirty Laundry and Boys of Summer "Eagles songs" too.

[WalshFan88]

IMO, Life's Been Good is not an official Eagles song, but I associate it with the Eagles the most. I believe it is a great song, and needs to be in the game. Life's Been Good, to me, could have been an Eagles song anyway. JMO of course.

But I've just heard more (via YouTube and the time I saw them live) times of being played with the Eagles than solo. I consider it an Eagles song, but I agree it's not an official Eagles song. But IMO it deserves to stick around longer. I'm not disclosing which I want to win. But I'm going to keep trying to save LBG.

[tequila girl]

With these Survivor games I try not to think about all of that. My list is made as to how much I like the song, plain and simple. :nod:
I agree with you there Cathy........and my feelings change day to day :eyebrow:
so i'm leaving my vote til tomorrow when i'll listen to them all again - then decide

[sodascouts]

I'm not sure what to vote for! I was going to vote for LTBS but I think Willie may have swayed me to vote for LBG (sorry Austin)! Still deciding.

[WalshFan88]

I'm not sure what to vote for! I was going to vote for LTBS but I think Willie may have swayed me to vote for LBG (sorry Austin)! Still deciding.

:argue: :hilarious:

Life's Been Good is an Eagles song to me, I'd like it to at least stay alive a little bit longer!!! It's my favorite song Joe does, and my favorite electric guitar intro. It's the one riff I play whenever I'm in a guitar store trying stuff out. It's great.

*cough* vote for LTBS *cough*...

Now, you were saying?! :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

Hey, what can I say? You're a smooth talker. ;)

I cast my vote for Learn to Be Still.

[WalshFan88]

Hey, what can I say? You're a smooth talker. ;)

I think that's so cool, Austin. If I'm ever in a guitar store in Springfield or Peoria and hear the LBG riff I'll come looking for ya!:thumbsup:

[WalshFan88]

I think that's so cool, Austin. If I'm ever in a guitar store in Springfield or Peoria and hear the LBG riff I'll come looking for ya!:thumbsup:

Hehe most of the people in the stores I go to all know me and what was funny is that one of my guitar friends was there that works there in Springfield and I didn't know it, he was in the back in an office and I was out front trying out a guitar and I started into LBG and he walked over to me and said "I could tell that was you". Most of the people in here play death metal and punk rock and I knew as soon as I heard that, you were here. It's so funny.

I usually go to Springfield for guitars.... Rock Shop on Jefferson Street. They do all of my complicated repairs and I've bought about 6 or so guitars from them so I'm good friends with the owner. I've brought things in for repair and they don't charge me anything, sometimes just very little. The owner, Todd, is probably the best salesman I've ever worked with. I don't go to Peoria's Guitar Center all that often, maybe twice a year where as I'm in Springfield every couple of months. I mainly go to Springfield for Gibson guitars, and Galesburg for Fender guitars.

Sorry for the derail of the thread everybody - but I wanted to post this little message! :hilarious:

[timfan]

I cast my vote for The Girl From Yesterday. A beautiful song but IMO the weakest of the remaining songs.

[TimothyBFan]

Hey, what can I say? You're a smooth talker. ;)

I cast my vote for Learn to Be Still.


Seriously? Hell, I would of bought you dinner and roses!!;)

[sodascouts]

If only you'd have made that clear earlier! I had a hankering for Burger King! ;)

[Glennsallnighter]

I just don't want to see TGFY go at this stage. I know its a more 'country' song than some of their others, but I LOVE Glenn :heart: on vocals.

In an effort to keep it I think I'll vote off 'Love Will Keep Us Alive' this round.

[Prettymaid]

Seriously? Hell, I would of bought you dinner and roses!!;)


She is rather easy, isn't she?

[whitcap]

I vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[sodascouts]

She is rather easy, isn't she?

Just for that, I'm going to demand Little Mexico instead of Burger King.

And wow, this game really is all over the place, isn't it? You never know what'll be the next to drop!

[luvthelighthouse]

This may come as a shock to some, but in an effort to keep The Girl From Yesterday around... I am going to do the unthinkable...

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive

As it is known around here, I love TBS. His vocals are flawless and I love hearing him. Now... I do not think LWKUA is all that great of a song. I think it needs to be a bit faster or something. If I recall correctly, I think TBS did it in his solo show, and I liked it better, he changed it up, made it more enjoyable.

It's a close race between LWKUA and TGFY. If it wasn't close, I wouldn't have cast this vote... however, like I mentioned... Glenn sounds SO amazing that I'd love TGFY to stay, even if for only one more round.

[sodascouts]

Wow! I know that wasn't easy for you!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well – I can’t seem to get anyone on board with me to eliminate Hole In the World at this point so I was going to vote for The Girl From Yesterday if my vote would have eliminated it. I agree that it’s a really good song and Glenn’s vocals are absolutely amazing, but I it’s just a bit too country for my tastes. It’s too bad that Love Will Keep Us Alive is going down because it is a better song than several of the songs that remain, IMO. The song has a gorgeous melody and Tim’s vocals are absolutely amazing too. I think I’m gonna have to start lobbying to eliminate One Day At a Time. Although, I also think it’s a really good song, there is no way I think it’s better than Life’s Been Good. No matter how you classify it, Life’s Been Good is in this game and is one of the all-time classic songs in rock and roll. As Austin says, that riff is so catchy and immediately recognizable, plus the lyrics are extremely clever, and the song simply rocks.

I cast my vote for One Day At a Time.

[sodascouts]

The fifth song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Love Will Keep Us Alive. “Love Will Keep Us Alive”, it's good you have to will to survive, but in this game it's the votes that count! It's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 6 is as follows:

What song are Don Henley and Glenn Frey shown writing the lyrics to on the Hell Freezes Over DVD?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[whitcap]

Learn to be still

the girl from yesterday immune if i'm right

[sodascouts]

No, I'm afraid that's not right.

[timfan]

Get Over It

Learn to be Still immune if I'm coorect

[sodascouts]

Yes, that's the one!

LEARN TO BE STILL is immune.

Round 6 starts NOW!

[Freypower]

LTBS was written by Henley-Lynch, not Henley-Frey ((despite Frey's comment before the song 'we made it up an hour ago'! No you didn't, Glenn)!

Re the comments about TGFY being 'too country'; why do you never say that about Take It Easy or Peaceful Easy Feeling? TGFY is in the same mode as those songs. If anything the song is a return to the 'thrilling days of country rock' as Glenn has said. Anyway I'm glad it is still here. Thanks LTL!

My next vote is for One Day At A Time.

[EagleLady]

I vote for One Day At A Time

[timfan]

I vote for the Girl from Yesterday

[sodascouts]

Looks like Dreamer's lobbying is working!

I have to say, though, the more I think about it, the more I think the solo song Life's Been Good should go first (sorry Austin). Let's make the top 6 all Eagles songs. Haven't made up my mind quite yet though.

[WalshFan88]

I think LBG should be in the top 6 and stay one more round. To me it's an Eagles song. But I digress. :hilarious: It's got that Eagles guitar sound and have seen the band play it a lot (in videos and in person). It fits in with the Eagles so well. I find that with the current song list, it fits into the top 6. I won't try to convince Soda again (but thanks for helping me out last round - :cheers:) but I believe LBG is a better "song" than say, LTBS. It's all personal opinion though. And I don't need to describe the opinion thing! ;) Everybody's got one.

But I am sticking to my list and I will say for those wondering, LBG is not my winning pick but it deserves to stay alive for one more round. As far as songs go, it's in the top 6 though. My favorite song of Joe's.

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[eaglesvet]

OK, now I'm back to Get Over It.

Hey - I'm totally with you on this one, Austin. Life's Been Good is simply a great classic rock and roll song. I still can't wrap my little brain around the idea that Life's Been Good should not be considered an Eagles song, but One Day At a Time should. But, to each their own as they say.


LTBS was written by Henley-Lynch, not Henley-Frey ((despite Frey's comment before the song 'we made it up an hour ago'! No you didn't, Glenn)!

I guess Glenn must have been joking on the HFO DVD and not meaning it literally. Maybe he meant that the band was brand new at playing it.


Re the comments about TGFY being 'too country'; why do you never say that about Take It Easy or Peaceful Easy Feeling? TGFY is in the same mode as those songs. If anything the song is a return to the 'thrilling days of country rock' as Glenn has said. Anyway I'm glad it is still here. Thanks LTL!

I can only speak for myself here, but here's how I hear these songs that you mention in my ears. To me, Take It Easy is country rock but leans more towards a rock sound - I love that sound. I feel the same way about New Kid in Town, even though you didn't mention that one. I brought it up because we had this discussion in our last Survivor game (apologies to Mike :wink: ). Now Peaceful Easy Feeling is country rock but leans more towards a country sound - I love that sound too. I guess you can say I love country rock. :nod: However, the prominence of the pedal steel guitar in The Girl From Yesterday makes it sound like pure country to my ears and I'm just not as crazy about that sound.

[sodascouts]

Yeah, Glenn was just making everybody laugh with that line. He can be a real comedian when he wants to. ;)

:bow:

I totally agree. One Day At A Time is just as much of a solo song as LBG. If one should be considered an Eagles song, so should the other. But like you said, to each their own. I'm so used to seeing or hearing Joe play it with the Eagles, it's more of an Eagles song to me. It flat out rocks! So many classic "lines" in that song. When I was in my tribute band I'd change the words up like Joe. I used to have some good ones too! :hilarious:

I also agree about the country rock discussion. I love Country Rock and Classic Rock but pure country just isn't for me. I don't consider the Eagles pure Country. I think they went from Country-Rock to more Classic Rock. My favorite albums are Hotel California, On The Border, One Of These Nights, The Long Run, "Eagles", and Long Road Out of Eden. In that order. I'm not a big fan of the Desperado album (I know, shoot me! :machinegun:). I like a couple songs from that album (Tequila Sunrise and Desperado) but generally speaking it's my least favorite album of the band. I think they were at their most "country" (:D) during that recording time-frame. :)

I'd like to see Life's Been Good stay for longer - it was a highlight of the show in Melbourne so it feels totally "Eagles" to me :)

I vote for Get over it

[Prettymaid]

FP, if it helps, Dreamer's description of the "pure country" sound on TGFY hit the nail on the head for me. When I'm watching the DVD I usually take a bathroom or snack break during it. Sorry! But I felt like you wanted a better explanation for why we don't like it as much.

I vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[luvthelighthouse]

It's really time for GOI to go. I know it's importance and all... but given the chance, I'd skip it every time.

I vote for Get Over It

[TimothyBFan]

:weep::weep:I tried Timothy, I really did. I admit I was going to vote for it soon but not yet. Sorry Tim!!


I have to say, though, the more I think about it, the more I think the solo song Life's Been Good should go first (sorry Austin). Let's make the top 6 all Eagles songs.

Hey---I think I finally influenced someone in one of these games a bit!! :thumbsup:


I think LBG should be in the top 6 and stay one more round. To me it's an Eagles song. But I digress. :hilarious: It's got that Eagles guitar sound and have seen the band play it a lot (in videos and in person). It fits in with the Eagles so well.

I see what you're saying. I don't quite know how to explain what I'm thinking here. I have to wonder and I want to ask you Austin... to you, what is the "Eagles guitar sound"? Is it guitar by Joe Walsh? IMO, Joe Walsh changed the whole guitar dynamics when he entered the band. The guitar work till then was the country rock sound but when Joe came in to the picture, it became more rock oriented. The Eagles guitar sound nowadays is Joe Walsh's guitar work. Of course I'm not the guitar expert that you are tho. I'm curious about how you feel about it. Do you like the guitar work more since Joe joined the band and how do you feel about the older stuff?
I will never disagree that LBG is not a great rocking song....it's one of my Walsh faves but I will always maintain it's a Walsh solo song.

As for TGFY discussion...Isn't it funny that I don't feel that way about the song as many others even tho I HATE country music? It's not my favorite but I still appreciate it for what it is. The lyrics are beautiful and the vocals are so gorgeous and touching.

Hell at this point --I really don't know what I like. Everyone is making some very solid arguments for all of these songs so what I started out thinking would be my list, I literally threw in the trash. I actually feel guilty about voting for LBG so early and before ODAAT because I actually like it best between the 2 but I'm sticking with the whole LBG is not an Eagles song.

I vote for Life's Been Good.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well since it looks like this round is going to be a battle between The Girl From Yesterday and Get Over It, I have to change my lobbying tactics once again. :wink: I'm gonna wait to vote, but it looks like it's shaping up like this ...

Save Get Over It!

Vote for The Girl From Yesterday!

[Brooke]

I'm witcha on that dreamer! :wink:

SAVE GET OVER IT!

It's a cool, rockin' new song by Glenn and Don! One of their true ROCK songs! Come on people!

Join me in casting your vote for The Girl From Yesterday. I love the song and Glenn does it so well, but something has to go. :sad:

And I see LBG as an Eagles song, too, that gets rave reviews every time they play it. It's witty, clever, and the guys love doing it. :partytime:

ETA: My vote is for TGFY!

[luvthelighthouse]

No, no, no!

SAVE THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY!

C'mon, haven't we all felt heartbreak? Can't you relate personally to these lyrics?


"Or maybe it just hurt so bad, she couldn't cry" and "How someone who had been so close could be so far away" or "

Talking to a memory that's never coming home

She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say"


Again, might I add, Glenn sounds AMAZING! Just listen, take in his vocals... inhale them... so intoxicating! So sweet...

ODAAT is an Eagles song because it has only ever been played by the Eagles. To date it has not been played as a solo song. It has never been released in any form under the name 'Joe Walsh' and while that may happen, until it does, it is an Eagles song. Life's Been Good, In The City & Guilty Of The Crime, however, were 'Joe Walsh' songs first.

I think it's far too arbitrary to say that a song is 'country' because it has pedal steel guitar. Look at CSNY's Teach Your Children which has a prominent pedal steel part (played by Jerry Garcia). I suppose you would also call that country; I would call it country rock. When I listen to TGFY I barely hear the pedal steel.

To me the Eagles guitar sound is that of guitars "doubled up". I'm pretty much referring to the Felder+Walsh days. On Life's Been Good, it just seems to fit that sound that they have. The older sound with Leadon is a much more twangy, country classic sound. I like both sounds, but when I think of the Eagles guitar tone, my mind goes straight to Felder and Walsh. My favorite lineups of the band are the HC and LR lineup. While I'm not a big "pure country" fan, I did like Leadon's guitar work, but not as much as Walsh's and even Felder's. To me the Eagles guitar sound is one that is layered with several guitars of different kinds. You rarely see the guys have the same kind of guitar onstage. Now here is where I get geeky! If Joe is playing a guitar such as a Gibson with humbucking pickups, the other guy (Felder or Smith) played/plays a Fender usually or something with single coil pickups. It makes it so they can layer their guitars and still have separate guitar tones and cut through the mix. If you have say two humbucker guitars or two single coil guitars, it gets harder to cut through and you lose the space of being your own self. I know from personal experience of my band. We'd do the thing they do/did. If one guy is playing one kind of guitar, the other guy is playing another type of guitar with different pickups.

So the Eagles guitar sound (to me, and this is all just what I hear and like) is a layered guitar sound with each guitar being different from the rest and having it's own unique sound. You add three different kinds of guitars (Frey's too), and you get a wide-bodied full almost stereo guitar sound. Skynyrd for instance, did the same thing with 3 guitars and all of them were different. It makes for a really full sound and gives each guy space to do his own thing and "stand out". But the Eagles guitar sound for me is a layered rock sound with unique guitar tones for each guitarist. Life's Been Good had MANY guitars on it, Joe layered up about 3 guitars and even if I remember right, had Felder play on one of them. I love watching videos of him and Felder playing that solo together and he'd be playing the high octave, and Felder would play the low octave or vice versa. Again, it's all about the layered guitar sound. The original Eagles lineup didn't have it so much, but when Felder came in with that Gibson Les Paul sound, it was way different that Leadon's Fender Telecaster. Where as before both Glenn and Bernie's guitars had single coils and sounded very alike. Felder "fattened up" the sound and made it a thick bluesier tone. Then Walsh came in and rocked it up a LOT as you said, changing the guitar sound completely from country rock to classic rock.

Bet your wishing you didn't ask huh?! :hilarious: I tried to explain it as easily as possible! :D Again, officially LBG is a solo song, but I'm more used to seeing/hearing it done with the Eagles and with the Walsh/Felder or Walsh/Smith duo I just associate it with them more. But that's just me! :D

[UK TimFan]

I vote for 'The girl from yesterday'.

Thanks for the explanation, Austin, I could actually understand most of that! :yay:

I usually talk in a confusing language, often known as "geek talk"! :hilarious:

Okay, I give up! :lol: You ask us to try and explain why we don't like a certain song, and when we do you don't accept it! I'll take it a step further and say that I do not like the melody of TGFY.

At this point I think we're just going to have to chalk it up to personal preference.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Exactly Cathy!

And for the record, as far as I'm concerned, Teach the Children well is pretty much like PEF - it's country rock that leans towards country and I love it. Another one I'll mention that I put in the same category is Poco's Rose of Cimarron where the dobro is very prominent. I love that too. I actually don't hate country music - I just don't prefer it. There are actually some country songs that I like a lot and The Girl From Yesterday is one of them.


No, no, no!

SAVE THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY!

C'mon, haven't we all felt heartbreak? Can't you relate personally to these lyrics?

Okay, ltl - you had me under the influence with that last line, and almost suckered me in. :lol:

[Wildthyme]

My vote is for Get Over It this round.

[Troubadour]

I was struggling to choose which song I would want to eliminate next, so I will vote for Get Over It, in order to save The Girl From Yesterday.

I like Get Over It. I like the message, I love Glenn's sexy, rockin' guitar, I love Don's attitude when he sings it, and I love the fact that this was the song that brought them back... but ultimately, although it's great for what it is, I think they have written much better songs. It doesn't quite stand the test of time as well as others, for me.

The Girl From Yesterday is beautiful. I love country, so I guess that helps, but I just think it's a gorgeous, romantic song... Glenn's vocals are swoonworthy and, like ltl, I love the lyrics. They're sad and real. I'd love to see it stick around a bit longer. (It also helps that I visualise HFO Glenn tilting his head back and bending his knees to sing passionately when I hear this song in my head. :faint:)

[sodascouts]

Dang it, I don't want to vote for either The Girl from Yesterday or Get Over It! But it's beginning to look like a choice must be made.... :(

[whitcap]

I vote for Get Over It.

[Glennsallnighter]

In an effort to save my fave, I vote to eliminate GET OVER IT.

[sodascouts]

I just listened to both. Get Over It rocks harder, but Glenn's vocal is so rich and emotive on TGFY... still haven't decided... this is torture!

[TimothyBFan]

I'm afraid I voted to soon. I really didn't think TGFY or GOI would actually be eliminated so soon so I'm afraid I wasted my vote when I could of saved one of these songs. Dang it!! Sorry!



No, no, no!

SAVE THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY!

Yes but at this point in my life, I relate a LOT more to Get Over It. :lol: Besides, the song just rocks.

For the record, had I held off on my vote to save one of these 2 songs, I would have voted for TGFY to save GOI.

[sodascouts]

ok, after listening one more time, I've made my decision...

I cast my vote for The Girl from Yesterday.

As much as I adore Glenn's vocal on TGFY, Get Over It is the song that kind of announced "We're the Eagles and we're back!" It was written by both Henley and Frey together - not a song they grabbed off of a solo project and layered Eagles harmonies on. Plus, the lyrics make me laugh no matter how many times I hear the song. Finally, the song just ROCKS. That guitar solo is smokin' and the whole song just pounds so fast and hard... love it!

[sodascouts]

BTW it should be noted that TGFY and GOI are now tied.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well – I’d rather be voting to eliminate Hole In the World or One Day At a Time than either Get Over It or The Girl From Yesterday. I hate to do it but it has to be done. So, with sadness …

I cast my vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

[sodascouts]

In a round that came down to the last minute, the sixth song to leave the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is The Girl from Yesterday. “Girl from Yesterday”, it's time for you to pack your things, walk out the door, and leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

The immunity question for Round 7 is as follows:

Which of the songs in the game have never been released in CD format?

NOTE: You MUST include the song you want to be immune along with your answer for it to be counted.

[Wildthyme]

It was a very hard choice for me to vote for Get Over It. I love the song and it has one of my favorite lines in it - "I want to find your inner child and kick its little a%&" but TGFY just has some personal meaning in it for me so I felt I had to try to protect it.

[Wildthyme]

One Day at a Time

Get Over It immune if I am right

[sodascouts]

No, that's not quite right.

[Wildthyme]

Not sure if I can try to answer again but if I can...

Get You in the Mood

Get Over It immune

[sodascouts]

I'm afraid you can only answer one time. :(

[UK TimFan]

Get you in the mood.

7 Bridges Road immune if I'm right.

[sodascouts]

No, that's not quite right either.

[UK TimFan]

That'll teach me to copy someone else's answer in the hope that it was right! :laugh: Especially as I now think I know what the correct answer is.

EDIT: Checked and my second guess is wrong, too!

Further edit: I reckon this is a sneaky question. :smile: If so :fingerwag: Soda

[whitcap]

One day at a time and get you in the mood

learn to be still immune if i'm right

[sodascouts]

That's right whitcap! And it's not a sneaky question - check out the verb tense in the question - it's plural!

LEARN TO BE STILL is immune.

Round Seven starts NOW!

[EagleLady]

I vote off Life's Been Good

[sodascouts]

I think it's time for Life's Been Good to go now! I'm holding off for a bit to see what happens, but as I've said before, we need real Eagles tunes!

[WalshFan88]

I vote for Hole In The World

Life's Been Good made it into the top 6! :D I'm VERY happy. It deserves it. Some may not think it's an Eagles song, but I digress! :hilarious: LBG is best song IMO recorded of his. :headbang: From the lyrics to the guitar intro to the dueling solos of Walsh and Felder, it's just great from top-to-bottom. I could make a whole thread on that one and the guitar tone.... There is a reason I play it in every show I do live and that I play it in every video I record. It's my favorite electric guitar intro of all time. That distorted guitar riff is just perfect. Crunchy and thick.

While it probably won't last much longer, I really do think it's a classic song. I prefer to hear it with the Eagles than solo because some of the guys from the band played on the original if I remember correctly. I love the dueling guitars of Walsh & Felder. The Eagles guitar tone is a classic rock tone from 76-present. My favorite lineup is the Hotel California lineup. The Long Run lineup is great too. I am a classic rock junkie though.

To celebrate, I think I'll go put it on off of the Eagles Live CD. :partytime:

Well - ltl and Troub don't play fair. These comments almost made me change my mind about voting off The Girl From Yesterday last round. :lol:

But, in the end, I came to my senses and saved Get Over It. I think it may be necessary to do that this round as well. So, for those who still want to save "Get Over It", we need to join together again. If we split the vote between One Day At a Time and Hole In the World, it may not be enough to save GOI. Based on past rounds, it seems as if more people are inclined to vote for One Day At a Time, so ...


SAVE GET OVER IT!


VOTE FOR ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!

To my knowledge none of the Eagles played on Life's Been Good. The only tracks any of the band played on on the But Seriously Folks album were At The Station & Second Hand Store (Felder) & Tomorrow (Frey/Henley/Schmit). I assume when you refer to Walsh & Felder's 'duelling guitars' here you are talking about the Eagles Live version.

You mention the intro. Classic, yes, but am I the only one who thinks it is similar to Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy?

Anyway I vote for One Day At A Time.

[Wildthyme]

My vote this round goes to One Day at a Time.
