The ceremony will be held Nov. 23 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. – by John Beaudin Don Felder’s Love and Hate of The Eagles Oct. 24, 2008 – It’s easy to liken Don Felder’s experience in the Eagles to the quite genius in high school finally dating the prom queen only to be dumped before he gets lucky. The guitarist says his years in the band were some of the highest and eventually lowest points in his career. Last year Felder released his book ‘Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001).’ Though he looks at Don Henley and Glen Frey, the two main songwriters in the Eagles, as brilliant, he’s quick to point out that Frey's personality was "bipolar" and Henley's, “a difficult guy to hang out with.” So what went wrong? Felder says it was a question of greed. When the band reunited in the 90’s, huge amounts of money began to flow in but the distribution was a little lopsided. He discovered that both Frey and Henley were getting paid double his wages. After hiring an attorney to look into the matter he was quickly fired. Felder says the original agreement between members was that everyone gets the same amount. Considering Henley and Frey sang and wrote most of the songs it’s not a big jump to think maybe that agreement became null and void at some point. Felder says he joined the band through his connection with original Eagles lead guitarist Bernie Leadon. After watching the group open up for Yes in Boston in 1974, he was invited backstage and started jamming with Leadon. Henley and Frey were impressed, inviting him to move to California and after providing guest guitar work on some Eagles sessions, was invited to join the group full time. He says it boiled down to, “five huge egos in the band that eventually led to problems.” Adding every member “brought brilliance musically to the band.” Felder has great praise for one member of the group, Joe Walsh, who he calls one of the “best rock and roll guitarists alive today.” The two were best friends while touring together. He adds that he did enjoy the new Eagles CD, “Long Road Out of Eden” except the fact that Walsh’ playing in not highlighted enough. In his book, Felder is also tough on his own indiscretions during the Eagles years including his drug use and infidelity. He credits Duane Allman as his best slide guitar teacher. Felder is considered a driving force in the Eagles switch from acoustic to more of an electric sound. – by John Beaudin Eagles Turn Down Super Bowl and Wish for Grand Ole Opry December 27, 2007 - Don Henley says the Eagles have a goal for 2008 and that's to play the Grand Ole Opry. The Eagles front man says the group recently turned down a stint at the Super Bowl. The sports even is the most watched on television but Henley said that the real honour for the band would be to play Nashville's Opry. It's not a stretch considering the band is often named as an inspiration for many country artists. The Eagles also have the biggest selling country album right now with the comeback CD "Long Road Out Of Eden." The CD is currently # 3 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Charts. - by Kari Graham   Read More on The Eagles Pink Floyd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Syd Barrett Tribute //See more Let us Make Sure Everyone Who Visits this Site Knows Who You Are! - Advertise with us.
