Future Eagles Projects

[Funk 50]

I've taken a liberty in diverting an off-topic thread that drifted into on-topic territory here. I hope you don't mind Freypower and UndertheWire.
Here's a link to the original thread titled New Songs Or Old?

This is the point; how can artists ever develop if their fan base refuse to let them? This seems to be what has happened with the Eagles. What they should have done after firing Felder was release an album within the next year & it would have proclaimed who they were. Instead they started touring again with old material & all that did was provide ammunition for the 'they're nothing without Felder' crowd. By the time they did release LROOE it was too late - especially as they didn't take the chance to make Joe the sole lead guitarist (Steuart Smith has too much influence on Henley; discuss). So now they've retreated, just become a 'jukebox' again, and I for one think it's wrong. And now it seems to me so does Henley; and I suspect he may want out.

I'm not sure about Steuart Smith. There were some unfortunate compromises on Long Road Out Of Eden. I think bringing in Steuart Smith was one of them but the band still produced a great Eagles album.

Don's Target version of Cass County album is only two tracks shorter than the Long Road Out Of Eden double album which shows that the medium has changed since 2007. If LROOE was released now it'd surely be a single disc with extras, rather than a double disc with compromises.

Although it has no stand out hit to focus on, I think the Cass County success story is good news for the Eagles future. Don's eager to release more new music, there is new Eagles music already in the can. A lengthy break from touring gives them all a chance to work on new material, part of which can be diverted to an Eagles project.

I'll despair if they reconvene with the intention of continuing the HOTE show.

Both Joe and Don have said that they hold a belief that their best work is in front of them. I hope future Eagles projects will be a part of that, not a diversion.

[UndertheWire]

I think the success of Cass County shows what can be done with good marketing. From giving a sneak preview to a friendly blogger, through the specially invited audience to the preview in Nashville to create buzz, the free show, high profile Q&As and then the media blitz with the record label paying the expenses of music journalists while they followed Don around. It's been an extrememly costly campaign and I wonder where the break-even point was or will be.

Meanwhile, JD Souther's Tenderness release has been far more low-key and I doubt it has sold that well (if I'm wrong, I would be thrilled). All I can say is that I like it a whole lot more than Cass County.

ETA: I'm not suggesting that Cass County doesn't deserve its success just that the success is the combination of a good product with good marketing. And that's something that they can all learn from.

[MaryCalifornia]

From social media it looks like the Schmit family has been in NYC for quite some time - hoping for that Eagles musical!

Does anyone know if Glenn is still living there?

[NightMistBlue]

Glenn has been living in NYC?! Color me surprised.

Is the Eagles musical about the band? Someone in another thread said it's called Hotel California, which makes me mildly concerned that it could be a contrived storyline based on the song. No, that could never happen though, right? They're only calling it HC for the name recognition. It's catchier than Eagles the Band, Not the Football Team.

All we have to back that up is a throwaway statement from Joe which neither Don nor Glenn have ever confirmed.

I think Don & probably Joe are indeed eager to release new music; solo music.

I don't want them to continue HOTE either. They have to do something different but at this stage, I can't see it. It seems to me they are fading away as Don suggested they would probably do.

It's Glenn I'm worried about. He must be looking at the success of CC & he must be realising that the way he promoted AH was wrong. This of course leads to the next question; was he wrong to release AH?

Regarding this musical, which I desperately hope never happens, I would think it would be a story based on Hotel California. To make it about the band would be ridiculous.

[scottside]

I don't think Glenn was wrong to release AH, but I did think it would have limited financial success and it did, very limited. However, it was great having something out by him after all these years. STRANGE WEATHER was a great album and had it come out a few years before it did, it would've been way more successful. I still lament the fact that it didn't even chart on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. At least, AH did that for one week.

Nothing would please me more than a new Eagles album, but I'm not expecting that. It seems that Don is content doing his thing and he's got a label behind him (Capitol) that put effort into promoting CC. Glenn did not have that with AH plus there was no way he was going to get any significant radio play with that kind of music. However, I am still so awed by his ability to do justice to all of those great old tunes. His voice, the phrasing and arrangements were all fabulous. I wish I could get that excited about CC.

Agree on all counts, including the last statement. I also agree that CC has been extremely well marketed.

[UndertheWire]

I'm hoping Glenn will be inspired by the activities of old friends like Jack Tempchin, JD Souther and Jackson Browne and will get back in the studio and on the road because he likes to make music. I'm glad he did After Hours.

[GlennLover]

I hope so too! I love AH, but I'm torn between wanting AH2 or an album of new music. I guess I won't complain as long as he releases something! :pray::pray::pray:

Speaking of Jack, he just put out a new album and the title track "Learning To Dance" is a beautiful ballad that would be perfect for Glenn to sing.

[Freypower]

I think Glenn has become too dependent on Tempchin. He keeps calling himself a songwriter. Surely he is capable of writing some songs without relying on Tempchin all the time.

[Funk 50]

I think Jack Tempchin's Learning To Dance and East Of Eden are better than any of his Eagles songs barring Already Gone.

I'm a bit worried about Glenn's ability to write up tempo songs for himself. Long Road Out Of Eden needed an up tempo Frey track, It's hard to believe that he couldn't come up with anything better than the covers, How Long and Somebody in all the time since Get Over It. He's followed that with a (very good) easy-listening album but it has just the one, token up-tempo track on it. The uninspired choice of Route 66.

Cass County has done great so far but any new material will still sell better with the Eagles name on it, rather than as a solo release. Hopefully when the guys grow weary of their solo excursions and become tired of being the boss, they'll reconvene with a substantial bunch of new Eagles material to present.

Glenn seems to have lost the inspiration to write, period. I'm bothered by that a lot, but at this point, I'd be content for him to make an album of covers with a few originals sprinkled in just to get some music out of him.

I agree 100% about Glenn needing uptempo songs to sing on LROOE. I'm glad he found "How Long" and "Somebody," even if he had no hand in writing them. Actually, I pretty much assumed he had a hand in writing the latter because it sounded like something he might come up with. I have no idea as to his future plans, but I would hope that he does another solo album if the Eagles aren't going to record again as a group. And, I hope even more that he comes up with a few good rockers!!!

[Freypower]

While I agree with the thrust of both of your posts I think it's a bit unfair to say the choice of Route 66 was uninspired. It worked great live.

I don't know what will happen now & I don't wish to repeat what others have said.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - I guess basically I can sum up my thoughts on this topic by saying I hope each of the guys in the band spends their time doing whatever the heck they want to do. At their age, I believe they've earned that right. As a fan, of course I would like to hear new Eagles material, but only if their hearts are really in it and it were up to the high standards the band has set for themselves. Considering the length of time it takes them to collaborate on a band project, I doubt that it will happen. I would also look forward to a Broadway musical, but again, only if it is very high quality, which certainly can be done. I think Glenn is the one band member that has always shown a lot of interest in exploring possibilities outside of music. Again, as much as I, as a fan, would love to see the band continue to tour and record, I would rather see each of them pursue their own happiness whatever it involves. I'm not interested in a half-hearted effort from any of them - that's just not how they became successful and it won't work now either.

[UndertheWire]

I agree with all of that, Dreamer.

[EasilyTaken]

I do too. :heart:

[WalshFan88]

Rant ahead...

I hope the band can squeak out a new album or even a new song (like they did with HITW before LROOE, although I realize that was a different thing because of what happened). I'd be up for a new "Get Over It" type song.

I personally love Cass County front-to-back. While the songs in their are original form aren't my thing, the way Don does them is new and fresh without being too poppy.

Unfortunately I didn't care for After Hours (only because it's not my kind of music), and Analog Man has worn off on me. I hate to say it as a Walsh fan primarily, but it just had some "pop cheese" over the sound, and I still say it's at least partially due to Jeff Lynne. For me some of the songs were a little too polished and not that there is anything wrong with that (I like "Eagles" polished), but not in the way it was done on AM.

For instance, I agree with the emphasis and thought behind Analog Man (I agree with Joe on his thoughts on modern music and the greatness that is analog), but it has this shine on it and it just doesn't sit well with me. For ODAAT, I prefer the F1 version and I listen to it more than the track on AM.

Out of the recent solo albums, Cass County and Road To Forever would be my choices. Cass County is getting rave reviews and I think it's unfair to boil it down to just marketing. It's a fantastic album by many regarded critics and is a really "raw" sounding album to me. Road To Forever has tracks I listened to more than AM, but I don't listen to it front-to-back much.

We waited a REALLY long time for Don's solo album and I'm here to say it was worth the wait. It really is a solid album, and I'm not a traditional country guy.

What I'm not cool with, is Don's solo tour setlist. Not playing any Eagles songs and limited solo songs is a loss for me. I just don't like the idea of going to a show and having it be 2/3rds new stuff, as much as I like Cass County I'd want him to play at least Hotel California and OOTN. IIRC, on Glenn's After Hours tour he still played solo songs and Eagles songs. It's just the right thing to do IMO. I think the reason he's playing SBR on this tour is because it sounds similar to the music on the record to me, anyway.

I really am hoping after this solo stuff the band can pull together and do something new. New music, or a new show (with a refreshed setlist). Or both. ;) I know that sounds strange coming from someone who was not a fan of LROOE (IMO it was dominated by Henley songs that were just too "out there" for me and mostly just reflecting Henley's feelings on Modern America). I'm hoping I'll like something new. I loved GOI and HITW, I know they are capable of still rocking, or at least make an album that sounds more classic Eagles to me.

[EasilyTaken]

Maybe they need some inspiration? Idk for sure, but routine and a comfort zone, while having their merits, probably don't provide the level of digging and soul searching necessary to kick out new material.

Back in the day, they were regular (or ordinary and average, thank you, Joe) guys trying to make it. Go from nobody to big-time fast and the words probably come. And where there are words, there will be music. Unless, of course, one does that the other way around. Sit in the (newly acquired) lime light just long enough, and opinions and observations shouldn't be hard to come by. Just write them down and start singing.

Then, there's the crowd (or the company). Small clubs, or on the road hotel rooms, packed with talented people who express themselves for a living, is bound to bring about something worthy of a recording session.

I'm sure they all still have it in them, but the prospective has had to have changed. Even a rock star routine is a routine?

[Funk 50]

From Hell Freezes Over to Long Road Out Of Eden there was a real dearth of new material from the Eagles, namely one album each, from Don and Tim. Things have improved since.

Long Road Out Of Eden has, in retrospect, proved to be a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. Joe's a busy bee again. Henley says he is enjoying himself in the studio. Tim's almost relaunched a solo career, Glenn slipped out of his comfort zone for After Hours.

According to Joe the Eagles have finished new songs since LROOE so they have continued to work together creatively and they've found a workable method of producing new material. The internet allows them to do the bulk of the toil without them being together at the same location, which must be highly beneficial.

After ignoring the existence of Long Road Out Of Eden during the History Of The Eagles Tour, a follow up shouldn't be too daunting. Arguably, it'd be easier than producing a solo album, maybe not as satisfying though.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

... Glenn slipped out of his comfort zone for After Hours.

I don't know about this, F50. This could be true, but it's possible it may have been the other way around and he slipped into his comfort zone with the album. Either way, it's not necessarily a bad thing, IMO.

Can you remember when Joe stated that the Eagles have finished material? I vaguely recall him mentioning that they had been working on some songs, but I could be mistaken. Of course, working on stuff can be very different for these guys than finished stuff.

Sorry, but what's easy is for armchair quarterbacks to sit back and proclaim how easy it is. For this band of perfectionist, it is apparently a very grueling process. As I said before, I don't think it's a matter of can they do it, it's more about if they want to do it.

[Freypower]

I would like to see some sort of link to any statement made by Joe about new Eagles songs. Until I see it I will remain sceptical. Sorry.

[EasilyTaken]

First, I'll say that I agree, that this band's best album has not yet been recorded. Maybe a couple reasons for that. Also, the internet is a great and powerful tool, and if this band started in 1972 and has kept up with technology and it's uses, more power to them. Even if their children taught them how to use it.

It's just that the off ramp to mortality is so much closer now than the on ramp to opportunity used to be. Even if it was a great ride, a lot is in the rearview mirror at this point.

Often, people in the entertainment business are elevated to an extreme status by those around them and those in their crowds, but they're still just people (sorry, rock stars, now they know).

What's easy is being judgemental, game day or Monday morning, regardless of seats in the nosebleed section or best seats in the house.

I'm quite aware of the struggles Eagles have recording in the past but even immediately after Long Road Out Of Eden was released, the band were reticent about saying it would be their last album. The internet has allowed them to change the way that they make albums.

If they've got new material "in the can" we can deduce that they've continued to work on new material, even though the release of it is indefinite and that they've actually finished some tracks.

I'm sorry but I don't believe we can deduce any such thing. But thanks for providing the links.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for those links, F50. As I said, I did vaguely recall Joe mentioning this, but I couldn't remember exactly what he had said. I certainly hope something does come of this, but I really don't think we can draw any conclusions from what Joe said about whether or not there are finished tracks that will lead to a new album. I'm not trying to be pessimistic - just realistic. We can speculate all we want, but having "new material in the can" can mean anything from a couple of songs in rough draft to a near complete album or anywhere in between.

I agree the internet changes the recording process, but it doesn't write the songs. It took them 6 - 7 years to get Long Road Out of released and about the same amount of time for Don to release Cass County, which he first mentioned in 2009. Heck - it even took Glenn 2 - 3 years to release After Hours and all those songs were already written. But, I never say never - anything can happen with these guys. We'll just have to wait and see if they have the appetite to get it done.

Who's We? I knew I was wasting my time providing the links.

Isn't this the band that destroy all their studio out takes? Have they worked on new songs knowing that they are destined for the incinerator. Producing new material has been purgatory for Eagles in the past, Joe's comment shows that they still have an appetite to produce new material, the question is whether or not they will release it.

I get the impression from Henley's recent comments that the Eagles could be over without new music to present but, of course, you never say never and hell has frozen over in the past.

I believe there is always an Eagles future while Irv is involved.

[UndertheWire]

At the start of his promotional tour, it sounded like Henley might not be done with the Eagles, but recently he's sounding a lot more keen to continue with his solo projects. No doubt, the way "Cass County" has been received plays a part in this. It certainly sounds like 2016 will be another year out.

For myself, I'm happy for Don to continue to work on his solo projects but I wouldn't want them included in an Eagles show. If they're going to work together in the future, it has to be with them working as a group rather than a backing band for one person.

Even so, I can't see them resisting playing a few shows as a band each year just to keep it going.

[Funk 50]

This is a bit of a shocker! Looks like a partial HFO tour bootleg, as such includes Felder.

You did not waste your time. I asked you for the links & thanked you for providing them. They did not change my opinion on whether there is 'new' material. See Dreamer's post above. However by 'we' I did mean the board in general.

As for the future of a band depending on the wishes of its manager... I don't see how this could be. If they no longer wish to work together it doesn't matter what Irving says.

[Funk 50]

Whether the Eagles work together in the future or not, will always be a grey area, not black or white. Irving has great powers of persuasion.
It doesn't matter what his wishes are, it's his job to do what's best for the band.


However by 'we' I did mean the board in general.

Self elected spokesperson?

[DivineDon]

I certainly believe that Irving holds huge sway with the band and if he decided it would be good both from an economic and public relations perspective to get together and tour again then I think that any difficulties or qualms the guys might have would be sorted out.

NO, F50,OK? Give it a rest. People have used the word 'we' in this context many times before & nobody has complained.:brickwall:

[Jonny Come Lately]

Self elected spokesperson?

I've been on internet boards where members have got into serious trouble for making comments like this. Directly criticising moderators is risky, and I believe that the moderators of this site - who have kept this forum running smoothly for nearly a decade now - deserve a little more respect than that. We would not be here if not for them and I am glad that they have given so much not only to the forum but also the extremely interesting and useful EOC sites. You don't have to agree with everything the moderators say, but when boards become overrun with people criticising each other, it all too often marks the end of sensible discussion.

On topic, I really don't know what's going to happen from here, but I don't expect to hear anything more until Don and Joe near the end of their present solo tours. An Eagles album would be a big undertaking as the name alone brings significant expectation of quality and I am sure they are as aware of this as anyone.

[UndertheWire]

He thinks the Eagles will do more touring as a group and they'll get together early next year to discuss that.
http://www.countylinemagazine.com/November-December-2015/Don-Henley-Return-to-Cass-County/

I think that Don may have been warned that he was sounding like he was done with the Eagles in recent interviews (at least as reported) as he's covered the positives of working with the band and playing the hits in the last two interviews I've read/heard.

As for the Azoff influence, as their manager, it's part of his job to come up with interesting proposals.

[Brooke]

Nice interview! Good news about the Eagles possibly doing more touring!

Thanks, UtW!

[NOLA]

Great article, UTW, but the only thing that worries me is Don then goes on to say,


“I intend to keep on writing songs and recording albums. The touring may come to a halt in a year or two, but I’ll continue to create music and recordings. I also intend to write my autobiography at some point, and maybe some poetry, but that’s a ways down the road, yet. I also intend to have a cornfield — a big one — like the ones my dad used to plant.”

Sounds like the touring end is approaching for both him and the Eagles. But, given their ages, I wouldn't be surprised if an actual retirement is announced within that timeframe.

ETA: I can't wait to read his bio!

[UndertheWire]

Even when they stop touring, they may still play occasional shows or have a residency. He also uses the word "may" so maybe if they all remain in good health (and good voice), they will continue longer.

[DivineDon]

I'm determined to live in hope that I'll see Don solo one day so I'm hanging on to that 'may' :smile:

There's a bit of dialog on the discs, too, e.g. when Glenn introduces TGFY as a new country song with Don F. on lead guitar. But, I haven't listened to the discs in their entirety (long story...;-)).

BTW, the sleeve photo is deceiving - from the HC era before Randy left the band.

I agree that this looks like the HFO setlists with a few exceptions - As far as I know all of the shows opened with Hotel California, which is missing from the list. Is it also missing from the CD? Also, Love Will Keep Us Together is an obvious typo.

Don't know how to determine the city if it's not listed - could be the tracks were taken from several HFO bootlegs.

Dreamer, the set opens with HC on the CD. It's the original version, not the flamenco-influenced one from the actual HFO album. The song title is also included on the sleeve.

At least a part, if not the entire show, was recorded at Giants Stadium in NJ, as per Glenn's greeting to the audience. So, if any of our Borderers were in attendance, it would make a great piece of memorabilia. Or, if anyone just wants a quality double-CD recording of an HFO era concert!

During the show, Glenn also reemphasized that HFO was a resumption rather than a reunion, and he gave justification for that. He spoke most of the dialogue, although Don H. did make a few witty remarks here and there.
