HOTE Quote Contest for FAQ Books and more!

[sodascouts]

Dreamer and I have put together a contest involving the identification of quotes from the History of the Eagles DVD. There will be prizes involved. Read on for more information, as outlined by Dreamer:

Andrew Vaughan, the author of The Eagles FAQs, has donated 4 copies of his book to our site for us to use as giveaways. In addition, we have numerous other items such as extra copies of CDs, Eagles tee shirts, and VIP memorabilia that we want to give away. Therefore, we are going to run a contest starting tomorrow so that we can share these items with our members. Any member who participates in a minimum of 1/3 of the contest rounds will be eligible for a prize.

Here’s how it will work. The contest will be called HotE DVD – Who Said This?

We will post a quote from the documentary at random times twice a day. The object is to guess who said the quote in the documentary.

Anyone who wants to participate can answer even if the question has already been answered, but the member who answers correctly first will be awarded the most points, and each subsequent member’s answer will be valued one point less in the order that the answers are posted. The round ends at the time that the next quote is posted.

Here is an example of how the points will be tallied:

Round 1 – 15 correct answers

The 1st member to answer correctly gets 15 points; the 2nd member with the correct answer gets 14 points, the 3rd member with the correct answer gets 13 points, and so on until the 15th member gets 1 point.

Round 2 – 17 correct answers

The 1st member to answer correctly gets 17 points; the 2nd member with the correct answer gets 16 points, the 3rd member with the correct answer gets 15 points, and so on until the 17th member gets 1 point.
Again, there will be 2 rounds a day for 15 days. We will post a recap the scores every 5 days so that members know where they stand.

The contest will conclude when the clock strikes 12:00 a.m. at the end of 15th day.

At that time, the 4 members with the most points will win The Eagles FAQs book. The remaining members will win one of the other prizes that we have to offer. The only catch is that you have to be willing to provide the board administrator with a mailing address so that we can get your prize to you. Of course, this address will remain confidential.

Hope folks have a good time participating in this and good luck to everyone.

Look for the 1st round to begin sometime tomorrow.

Any questions?

[L101]

Sounds like an interesting game!!

Will have to watch HOTE again tonight (oh the hardship of that ;-))
Looking forward to giving it a go :grin:

[NightMistBlue]

So exciting! Thank you Soda and Dreamer!

[shunlvswx]

I'm ready. I watched that DVD so much that I know almost everything by heart.

[AlreadyGone95]

Better go rewatch HOTE a few times. Looking forward to this :).

Thanks Soda and Dreamer for doing this, and thanks to Andrew Vaughan for donating the books.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay - That quote was, indeed, Mr. Joe Walsh.

[UndertheWire]

Kenny Rogers

I’ve watched the creative process with lots of other people, but I’ve never seen it the way it fell into place with them.

[shunlvswx]

Irving

[AlreadyGone95]

Irving Azoff

[UndertheWire]

That sounds like Irving Azoff.

[L101]

It’s just hard to live in between that line, you know, of being out on the road and being away for a month.

[shunlvswx]

Randy

[shunlvswx]

The other round I almost messed up. I was also thinking Henry after I said Irving. Whewl I was right.

Randall Herman Meisner

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - Randy said that!

Okay - let's start the next round. Who said this? ...


The creative impulse comes from the dark side of the personality – so we worked it good.

[shunlvswx]

I'm going with Don Henley.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Don Henley

[AlreadyGone95]

Don Henley

[NOLA]

Don Henley, definitely! :heart:

[UndertheWire]

Agreed, Don Henley.

[L101]

Sounds like Don, so Don Henley ;-)

[SPrim]

[ktdids]

[GlennLover]

Don Henley

[NightMistBlue]

Don Henley

[scottside]

Don Henley

[DivineDon]

My Donnie baby!

[Roey]

Don Henley

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - Don Henley did say that!

So moving along to Round 6 - Who said this? ...


They are the American band. Yeah, they pretty much encompassed the '70s, didn't they? And took it all in. That's a long time to still have a musical impact, and it's due to this incredibly crisp, tight, extraordinarily good record-making band and the presence of good songs. But it's also now taken on this other thing, too, where it's everybody, through the band, wants to remember a '70s that they may or may not have had.

[shunlvswx]

JD Souther.

[NightMistBlue]

JD Souther

[SPrim]

J D Souther

[NOLA]

JD Souther

The last part of his quote, about the '70s, is one of my favorites in the doc.

[AlreadyGone95]

JD Souther

[GlennLover]

JD Souther

[scottside]

JD Souther

[UndertheWire]

John David Souther. In my case it's the 70$ I dreamed of but didn't have.

[Jonny Come Lately]

J.D. Souther

[DivineDon]

J.D Souther

[L101]

JD Souther

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That was a great quote from JD.

Now moving right along - Who said this? ...


He had become a disciplined co-writer with Don Henley, and when the Eagles broke up, he just wanted to let go and have some fun with music, you know.

[L101]

I'll be brave and say Jack Tempchin.... :hmm:

[ktdids]

JD Souther

[shunlvswx]

Jack Tempchin.

[NOLA]

That sounds like it's from Glenn's frequent collaborator, Jack Tempchin.

[AlreadyGone95]

Jack Tempchin

[NightMistBlue]

Jack Tempchin

[UndertheWire]

Jack Tempchin

[Jonny Come Lately]

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - That was Jack Tempchin talking about his good friend and collaborator.

Let's try this one. Who said this? ...


The magic ingredient that made the band successful was the relationship between Don and Glenn. Through years of touring, years in the studio, all of that friction really started driving a wedge in between that relationship.

[shunlvswx]

That would be the other Don. Don Felder

[UndertheWire]

Don Felder

[NOLA]

Don "Fingers" Felder!

[AlreadyGone95]

[scottside]

Don Felder

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep again - Don Felder said that.

And now for Round 9 - who said this?


Their premise was if they had lived a hundred years ago, in like, you know, 1872, they probably would have been gunslingers.

[scottside]

Gary Burden?

[AlreadyGone95]

That's tough because the camera is never on the guy who is saying that, but I'm going with Henry Diltz.

[SPrim]

Henry Diltz

[NOLA]

Agree, AG. I will also say it's Henry Diltz.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Henry Diltz

[L101]

I'm gonna go with Henry Diltz as well

[shunlvswx]

Henry

[NightMistBlue]

Henry Diltz

[GlennLover]

Henry Diltz

[UndertheWire]

I'll go with the majority, Henry Diltz

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That was indeed Henry Diltz that said that one.

Shall we move on to Round 10? Who said this? ...


In my experience all rock and rock bands are on the verge of breaking up at all times.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The Round 10 was Timothy!

Let's go on to Round 11. Who said this? ...


I thought it was incredibly ungrateful and they misrepresented the facts, but so be it.

[shunlvswx]

Mr. mean. David Geffen.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - that was the Ramblin' Man himself!

Now on to Round 14. Who said this? ...


I really think that part of the reason that the Eagles succeeded the way they did was because the country, and people, and young people needed to feel like things were okay – so here comes this song Take It Easy.

Let’s get on with our next round. Who said this? …


I'm doing what I want to do, and I'm trying to make stuff happen. I see the Eagles in the same way. They're not in the '70s. They're in 2012 and 2013. And whatever they're doing now artistically, that's what's important.

[GlennLover]

Gerry Brown

[shunlvswx]

Right again - that was Mr. Randy Meisner.

So it's time to move on to Round 18. Who said this? ...


It’s funny, I seem to get people at a critical stage in their development and they sorta build their chops. I mean there’s nothing that gets your chops up better than playing together every single night.

[shunlvswx]

Linda Ronstadt.

[UndertheWire]

Yes, Linda Ronstadt

It's a great solo. It's like stepping into a space suit. It is strange to be playing that song. The reaction is terrific, and you bask in that excitement.
