Glenn Frey is a Giant Douchebag

[Ray McKigney]

Anybody else watch the History of the Eagles documentary on Showtime? On the subject of money, Frey makes Gene Simmons seem laid back.

 

Had to get that off my chest. Good night.

Disputes over money bust up more bands than drugs and travel.

Eff Showtime.

Is that you, Don Felder?

I am going to have to give Glen Fry a pass here because of his awesome performance in the Miami Vice episode 'Smuggler's Blues.'  If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it.

 

Fry's song "You Belong to the City" in the second season premiere episode 'Prodigal Son' is pretty great in the montage it is used in, too.

 

[Ray McKigney]

Haha! I thought about the Frey/ Miami Vice connection and how it might come up. They even showed a Frey scene from Miami Vice in the documentary. He is a hell of an actor.

[Lhalo]

I'm going to side with Jeffery Lebowski on this one.

Anyone read Don Felder's book "Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles"?  What a whiney little bitch that dude was/is.

Yeah, he seems to be more emotional than most guys. He even gets teary eyed in the documentary when he talks about getting kicked out of the band. 

[Spirit]

Over and over, "I hated being in the band."  "Glen and Don were so mean to me."  "I was in misery!"   

 

Then he gets kicked out and he's like, "Why would they do that?"  "It's my band!"  "They broke my heart!"

 

Good Lord, dude ... grow a pair!

Felder did write all the music for the song Hotel California. That's a pretty amazing accomplishment. Basically, Frey and Henley treated him like a hired gun and I think he was and still is bitter because of it.

Felder is a great guitar player but he's not a lead man and he knew that or he would have tried it on his own. If you take the abuse and stay around it's tough to generate any sympathy. Battered Guitarist Syndrome?

Get out of my cab.

All successful musicians are basically whiny babies.

F*in nihilist.

[Homebrewer]

This is what I think of the Eagles...

 

[Homebrewer]

I hate The Eagles so much....

I gave their Reunion DVD to my sister, for Christmas!

LOL

I'm working on a script based on Witchy Woman. Funny stuff.

[IEAngelsfan]

One of my favorite bands during the 70's, but yeah, Glenn does come off as being a little full of himself.

Speaking of books, has anybody read Ace Frehley's autobiography? Highly recommended. The guy is really funny without trying too hard. The way he talks sh*t on Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley doesn't come across as bitter or whiny. Just like he's stating a fact.

That's next on my list.  Just got Duff McKagan's book.  Really looking forward to getting into that one.

I've never been a big Eagles fan but I really like his solo stuff, Smuggler's Blues pretty much did it for me.

Did what?

Made me a fan of his solo work.
