Remember the bass player from Daughtry? The one who played the drums in the BOS video? Someone must have asked him on twitter who he would like to work with and his response was "I would love to work with Don Henley again,U2,JayZ,Dave Grohl many many"
I think that deserves an AWWWW reprise!
After all these years! He must really respect Don... hey, maybe Don should give him a call!Quote:

I got this Google alert about Time Life "celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame with a Landmark DVD collection of 125 historic induction ceremony performances."
All well and good but the Eagles aren't listed! Don Henley is. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that Don has been inducted yet! Get your act together, Time-Life!

Haha, that'll go down well with the rest of the band. Maybe they weren't available? Too busy golfing? Or perhaps the licensing rights for the entire band proved insurmountable. Didn't we have a thread about how the entire band required a massive amount to so much as make an appearance somewhere, yet a Party of Two only cost $300k?
I saw that TL deal advertised on TV and wondered if the Eagles were in it, so, I guess not?
I'm speculating the the Eagles' 1998 Hall of Fame induction performance is on there, and Time-Life just mislabeled it as Don Henley's induction performance. Guess they didn't notice he only sang lead on one of the songs! :lol:
I think Don inducted Jackson Browne so that's probably what it is.
It is typical of the Eagles that they probably haven't allowed their induction to be used.
Not to be an absolute jerk here, but that's part of the reason I so adore them... :angel:Quote:

Ah! I didn't know all of that. I guess that's what they could be talking about... but if so, it's very misleading. Imagine if you were a hardcore Henely fan who bought that just to see him perform, only to be treated to one song where he's drumming in the background for a jam session. Not cool.
You're right, Soda. But at least he wasn't in back playing the drums. He played the tambourine.

Love that pic!
Is it just me, or is that is the longest suit coat you have ever seen? The whole suit looks too big for him.

You're absolutely right. Maybe Don was trying to set a new trend in oversized clothing? ;)
Sometimes the man is just SO fashion-challenged. :roll: :hilarious:
A brief snippet from a Don Henley fan (includes pic):
OK, nothing new here, but I thought it was a nice mention.Quote:
Have you seen a recent Don Henley pic? This picture of the American rock singer was taken after he was spotted performing with the band Eagles not so long ago. His song rendition seems to be so powerful that surely delighted the crowd.
Some of his best known works with the band include “One of These Nights”, “Sad Café” and “Witchy Woman.” When the band broke up on 1980 due to increasing personal tensions, Henley pursued solo career.
As a solo artist, he has released four successful albums and has won seven Grammy Awards in his career. More so, he was ranked 87th Greatest Singer as declared by Rolling Stone.
Another Don mention. This article is about the Beatles, but includes Don's comments:
Quote:
The Eagles’ Don Henley is equally enthusiastic about the impact the four Beatles — Paul McCartney, 67; Ringo Starr, 69; and the now-deceased George Harrison and John Lennon — had on pop music and culture here, there and everywhere.
“The wonderful thing about The Beatles is that they went on this journey and took all of us with them,” Henley, 62, said. “Of course, that was a different time and place. Things aren’t like that now. As a culture, we’re sort of in the twilight.”
- "The Beatles Are Hot Again" by George Varga

The person seems to be saying he's making a guest appearance with the Eagles.
This is part of a very well-written essay from a Salem columnist about saving ticket stubs, something I think all of us do here.
I loved that fact that she said Don Henley was her favorite concert experience. Oh, to have been close enough to "see the pills on his flannel shirt"!! (Bet it was plaid, too--natch!)
Beth O'Grady: My life in ticket stubs
[Here's an excerpt]
My most memorable concert experience was Don Henley at Harborlights in 2000. I was sitting in the “cheap seats” when a stranger asked me if I wanted an upgrade as her friend could not attend. And an upgrade it was — front row center so close to Don Henley I could see the pills on his flannel shirt.
Dang, that is one lucky girl! And I love her description of how close she was. Hmm, do you think he was wearing plaid? ;)
Thanks for posting, DF.
Sigh!

I got this today from an article about "summer" songs from a website called rushhourconcerts.org. It contains some interesting background info; I had never read that "rumored" quote about Don seeing Joe driving a Cadillac hearse with a Deadhead sticker on it. I actually have never read anywhere that Don was a "rabid" fan of Jerry Garcia either.

All I remember Don ever saying was that he saw a Cadillac with a Dead Head sticker. There was never any mention of Joe or a hearse. As for Don being a Grateful Dead fan I cannot picture it. It doesn't sound like him at all.
That was an interesting read - thanks for posting, DF!
I think some of his facts may be a bit off. I've never heard that Joe Walsh rumor either. Still, it's fun to read!
Don Henley in Winfield? That's what they say
By Shane Farley, Cowley County, Kansas September 24, 2009 - 12:17:59 pm
Was Don Henley – frontman for legendary rock band The Eagles – in Winfield for the Walnut Valley Festival? That's what we're hearing. Rex Flottman, spokesperson for the festival, said he has a pretty reliable source that tells him Henley was here and circulating at the festival, which wrapped up Sunday. But Flottman didn't actually meet Henley personally, so he can't vouch 100 percent. “I was upset about it,” Flottman said. “I'd have liked to at least gone up and shook the guy's hand. Back in high school that was a big musical influence for me. Don Henley and the Eagles.”
Jack Kellogg, owner of Wichita-based Hatman Jack's, has been at the festival for a number of years as a vendor. He said he believes Henley was here but wanted to keep a low profile and enjoy the atmosphere.
Kellogg didn't see Henley either but heard reports of The Eagles legend making the rounds through the vendor area in a ball cap. So, we have two sources with reliable information but not an actual sighting. But, we just don't know for sure. So, if you met Henley or snapped a photo of him, let NewsCow know. We'll make you Cowley County famous, for at least a few minutes.
***************************************
I hope Don was there, having a little fun with his family at the festival.
(You gotta love a news outlet that calls itself "NewsCow." :laugh: )
Uh-oh...I can see Julie cringing now... :wink:Quote:

Uh-oh! Don made the list of Bad Celebrity Tippers!
I gotta ask, since when is 15% a bad tip? I was always told that 15% was the standard tip percentile, only to be exceeded when one receives above-average service.Quote:

He can be as demanding as he likes with me!
In England, I'm used to 10% as a guide, so 15% seems pretty generous...

Don gets another mention in an interview with Daughtry's bass player Josh Paul, aka "the kid from the Boys of Summer Video":
Quote:
What was it like to play the drums in Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" video at age 7?
It was definitely a great opportunity. I didn't really know really what was going on. I just knew that I played drums and I went to some audition where there were 500 other little kids. And, I actually got it and did it. I was a little bit overwhelmed, but I thought it was awesome. Don Henley's really cool.
http://media.www.unogateway.com/medi...-3812216.shtml
I like that guy ;)
I also saw somewhere else where he was asked who inspired him or influenced him (don't remember which) and Don was one of two or three people he mentioned.
So, if you want Don to make a special dedication for you at an Eagles show, here's the price tag:
"at an Eagles concert in January, when band leader Don Henley stood on stage and dedicated, at Rothstein's request, Life in the Fast Lane to the lawyer and wife Kimberly for their first anniversary. His donation: $100,000, to a Henley environmental cause."
- Excerpt from
"Lawyer Scott Rothstein drained pals to live life of high roller" - Miami Herald
Geez, I'd better sign up for some more overtime.
