I heard The Heart Of The Matter playing at work and had to sing along with it!! One of my favvie Don Henley solo songs
I had forgot to post this this past weekend. I went to my car to start it up, Outlaw Man was playing on the radio. This was my first time ever hearing that song on my local radio station. This station mostly play real old songs from the 50s to the 80s. I hear a lot of Eagle songs on this station. We have a station that plays only 70s and 80s. Another station that plays only 80s, 90s and today's music and of course the country stations.
OHH that is so awesome!! I wish I had a radio station like that! I have never heard Outlaw Man on the radio before!
I still keep hearing either Eagles songs, Glenn's, Don's, or Joe's solo songs every day on the radio & TV. Then last night my Dad was watching YouTube vids on our TV app and all of a sudden the Grammy tribute started playing and my Dad didn't even click it. LOL He went to bed before it aired on Monday but it just started playing. I know it does suggested vids based off searches but I was in the room and saw my Dad clicked on a completely different vid. I just started laughing about it and said "someone" wanted him to see it. LOL :)
That is pretty awesome!!
I keep on hearing their stuff playing as well!! Today (at work) I heard Dirty Laundry playing and sang along with it as well!! I wonder if my work is going to play any of Glenn's solo stuff! I sure hope so
During "CBS: This Morning" they were talking about the story of that 106 year old lady that got to meet the President and she was actually dancing with excitement as she was so happy and they (CBS) played Don's "All She Wants to Do is Dance" with the clip. It was so cute. :D
I was heading home from church last night. And this eye commercial came on the radio and they had Lyin' Eyes playing in the background. I was like oh ok. LOL
Last week, one of my radio station played Smuggler's Blues(this is the same radio station that played Lyin' Eyes with a commercial). Its very rare to hear a solo song sung by Glenn on my local radio station.
A few days ago, I heard The Confessor on a rock radio station out of Panama City, Florida. That's the first time I've heard it on the radio. Anytime I've heard a Joe solo song on the radio it's either LBG, RMW, or Turn to Stone.
I came home from college for the weekend, and my sister and I were blasting the radio on the drive back. We were flipping through the stations and came across the HFO version of Hotel California! Needless to say we turned it up even louder.
I just got home from my uncle's, and as I passed my mom's bedroom, I heard a sax sound that sounded very familiar, and I stopped in my tracks. (My mom listens to the radio while she's sleeping). The One You Love was playing! I've never heard it on the radio before.
My mom, sister and I were running errands and got to talking about Glenn and the Eagles in the car as we were flipping through radio stations. Literally right after we finished talking about them, Smuggler's Blues came on. I like to think that was Glenn saying "I see you down there talking about me!" ;)
This was unexpected!
Tina Turner from 1977, before her career resurrection in the early 80s, when the Heaven 17 guys liberated her from cabaret hell;

Waiting outside the terminal at the airport when I heard "The End of the Innocence." Bruce Hornsby's piano intro is unmistakeable, and so is Don's voice.
I heard part of Leather and Lace on the radio today. I heard Stevie's voice first, I thought it was her but wasn't completely sure, but then Don's voice came in. I knew straight away who it was!
I heard Hotel California on my daughter's iPhone while we were driving home from after running some errands!! I knew she had the song on her phone (my doing :)) but I don't think I've ever heard her play it before. Certainly not in the car.
When I commented, she acted a bit surprised and told me, "I like the Eagles, just not as much as you." I thought maybe she was just trying to get me a good mood because she wanted me to buy her something. LOL. Seriously it made my day :smile:
KISS doing an Eagles song was rather unexpected! They got the intro wrong rhythmwise, but it's ok. I "misheard" it too initially.
It's obvious that KISS hadn't really rehearsed it that much and it's pretty bad. :) Especially Paul forgetting the lyrics.
Starts at 1:02 mark.

Here you can hear Paul's nice comments about the song and Glenn when they've finished it, at 2:43 mark. Also (sort of) apologizes to the audience, because they did it so badly. :) I'm glad that Paul said "a great rock'n'roller" about Glenn, because Glenn loved rock'n'roll, but people usually associate the term only with Felder and Walsh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAQ73B5Ffxo
Thank you for posting that, Toni. It was wonderful to hear KISS praise both the song and Glenn. I enjoyed the performance too, even though they botched the lyrics (Well I'm running down the road... In Winslow Arizona :lol:), I liked how they carried on with the song and then admitted that they'd messed up at the end, but the magic of the song and music itself still came through. I won't listen to this version over the original studio version or HFO or California Jam, but it did really make me smile, and although the performance was far from Eagles standard, the warmth and charm felt very genuine to me.
Very nice of them and too funny! :lol:
Paul has had serious issues with his voice. During one of the lines (I think it was "lighten up") his voice cracks badly. He looks really frustrated and stops singing for a few seconds. Perhaps Gene should have sung this - or maybe not, because he forgets even his own lyrics he has sung for decades! :lol:
I didn't know until recently how much Paul loves Glenn. Even Gene was about to cry when he spoke about Glenn on TV. Maybe it's partly the Detroit thing. KISS was popular there before they were popular anywhere else.
"Instead of the Eagles, we sound like the Beagles." :rofl: :rofl: It's the thought that counts. They should've rehearsed it once or twice. I bet if Glenn, wherever he is now, heard this version of Take It Easy, he'd probably laugh that unmistakable laugh of his, and say something like "That's why the Eagles always rehearsed each new song 100 times." I'm not a KISS fan, but Paul and Gene scored a few points with me.
That was a funny video, but it was nice KISS to pay tribute to Glenn. I remembered that video he did the day Glenn died and he said nothing but nice things about Glenn. I was shocked he knew Glenn and it looks like Paul knew him too since he was at Glenn's funeral.
Yeah. I can see Glenn laughing his tail off at them because they forgot the words.
As a huge fan of both the Eagles and KISS it's great to see that there was mutual respect at least between Glenn and KISS. I don't know what Glenn actually thought about KISS in private, but when he met KISS he didn't look down on them. Gene said that when KISS was inducted to the Hall Of Fame Glenn came to meet them and said "Isn't this a great day". You could see that Gene was genuinely moved by that. It warms my heart so read/hear about warm interaction between people from such different (musical) worlds.
Did ya'll know that Don Felder and Paul Stanley are doing Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp in June?
They don't say how much it costs which makes me think it must be VERY expensive!

I did see that on Facebook.Quote:

I heard "On The Border' on Sirius/XM the other day (either Classic Vinyl or Rewind). I hadn't heard it in a while.
As I was heading home from church, I heard James Dean on the radio. That was the first time I've ever heard that song on the radio.
Heard Life in the Fast Lane in an outdoors shop in town today. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've heard Eagles songs in shops in this country!
That must have been a very nice surprise, tlr! :D
I heard Toto's I Won't Hold You Back (1983) in the car just now and all you can hear in the chorus is sweet Timothy :inlove:

Waiting in the exam room of an Urgent Care facility where I had gone to seek treatment for an allergic reaction I was talking to the doctor about meds I was concerned about known to cause serious side effects including meds that I told the doc may have caused Glenn Frey serious problems. Suddenly I realized Heartache Tonight was playing on the facility's MUSAK system. Of course I took that as a sign Glenn Frey was trying to tell me something .... and I pointed this out to the doctor. Wish I could say he was as certain as I was that Glenn was indeed trying to communicate. Instead he managed a small smile and gave me the predictable response - it's all about the benefits outweighing the risks. :nope:
Last night after I was doing some writing for my new novel (the one I mentioned in the off-topic board that I have a lot of Eagles and Glenn's songs on my playlist for it) I got stuck a bit, and as a writer that drives me crazy sometimes, so I put on music to both help me through the block and stop my doubts. I turned it to our oldies station which plays a wide variety of classic hits from the 40s all the way through the early 2000s (including Eagles sometimes) and I heard an older version of "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons"!!! :D I don't know if I ever heard this version before last night as it was sung by a female singer, but that is one of my favorites Glenn did on his "After Hours" album. So that was nice to hear. Then right after that song, I change the station and it's the Eagles "Peaceful Easy Feeling" which is on my book's playlist. :D It was just weird hearing them back to back, but I needed that as I started thinking about my characters again and where the story goes next, and it made me feel better with how my story is coming along. :)
Did hear Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City" at Johnny's Pizza last time I was there, and have heard Don Felder's "Heavy Metal(Taking a Ride)" on Sirius-XM's "Classic Rewind" channel way back when DirecTV still carried them.
Henley is such a big fixture on 'we play everything' and '80s, 90s, & now' stations and Walsh on Classic Rock stations(I'll bet you can easily guess which two of his they always play) that I'm never too surprised when they come up in the station playlists.
"Michael Tearson's Marconi Experiment" on the online radio platform I Radio Philly played "The Last Resort" some weeks back as the closer to a show entitled "Paradise...Almost Lost," which pleased me immeasurably.
I bet I can guess the two Walsh songs they play. Would I be right in thinking that one of them features the lyric 'couldn't get much higher' and the other has a verse about a speeding Maserati? :wink:
(I say this as these two seem to be by far Joe's most recognisable solo songs where I am).
Cool that you got The Last Resort, I absolutely love the song and would have been delighted to hear it come up too.

Over dinner tonight with the family our conversation somehow turned to the Amish and how they send out their 18-year-old kids for a year to see how the rest of us live and have them decide if they want to live among us English, and suddenly my Dad in the kitchen started singing "In the City". LOL :lol: But the funny part wasn't just my Dad singing that song, but that my Dad's tone deaf. He doesn't even realize how bad it is and my Mom cringes all the time since she's very picky about singing and people being on key. She always jokes how she's glad my brother and I inherited her musical abilities and not my father's. LOL :D So I was laughing so much for both reasons.
That's so sweet, bf. :-) My dad and mom used to just break out in song like that, too. You've brought back some good memories for me. Thanks for sharing this. :heart:Quote:
