This should be good.
Henley and Frey ARE the Eagles, Felder wanted to be and was butt hurt when they wouldn't let him. He made some great contributions musically but could easily be replaced once he annoyed them enough. The guy playing his parts these days opposite Joe Walsh is a guy you never even heard of. Felder had a good thing, now he's just whining about the situation like hes a victim, and playing Hotel California over and over and over at the state fairgrounds........After reading Don Felder’s book Heaven and Hell: My Life In The Eagles” it makes The History Of The Eagles seem like response to his book. Henley and Frey make themselves appear to be the good guys while they make out Felder to the asshole.
Money, Drugs, Alcohol and tensionIt's amazing that bands stay together as long as they do. Money really messes things up. By the time the Long Run album came along the Eagles all hated each other. And Don Henley is no peach.

Having worked with them on the Hell Freezes Over Tour and the Millennium Show at the Staples Center in 99, Frey, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder were all outstanding people. Henley, not so much. He was the arrogant control freak in the group.
I bet Joe Walsh would have been an absolute blast to talk to.I have also worked with Don Henley and Joe Walsh... I didn't talk to them, I didn't want the exchange to change the way I feel about them, as I am such a huge fan and play in a great Eagles tribute band. Same with Gene Simmons, I have been a huge KISS fan since I was 11 years old, and I recently worked with him... It would've crushed me if he were to blow me off. lol So I just avoided him.
