Isn't this the band that destroy all their studio out takes? Have they worked on new songs knowing that they are destined for the incinerator. Producing new material has been purgatory for Eagles in the past, Joe's comment shows that they still have an appetite to produce new material, the question is whether or not they will release it.
I get the impression from Henley's recent comments that the Eagles could be over without new music to present but, of course, you never say never and hell has frozen over in the past.
I believe there is always an Eagles future while Irv is involved.
You did not waste your time. I asked you for the links & thanked you for providing them. They did not change my opinion on whether there is 'new' material. See Dreamer's post above. However by 'we' I did mean the board in general.
As for the future of a band depending on the wishes of its manager... I don't see how this could be. If they no longer wish to work together it doesn't matter what Irving says.
Re: Future Eagles Projects
Whether the Eagles work together in the future or not, will always be a grey area, not black or white. Irving has great powers of persuasion.
It doesn't matter what his wishes are, it's his job to do what's best for the band.

Self elected spokesperson?
Re: Future Eagles Projects
I certainly believe that Irving holds huge sway with the band and if he decided it would be good both from an economic and public relations perspective to get together and tour again then I think that any difficulties or qualms the guys might have would be sorted out.

NO, F50,OK? Give it a rest. People have used the word 'we' in this context many times before & nobody has complained.:brickwall:

I've been on internet boards where members have got into serious trouble for making comments like this. Directly criticising moderators is risky, and I believe that the moderators of this site - who have kept this forum running smoothly for nearly a decade now - deserve a little more respect than that. We would not be here if not for them and I am glad that they have given so much not only to the forum but also the extremely interesting and useful EOC sites. You don't have to agree with everything the moderators say, but when boards become overrun with people criticising each other, it all too often marks the end of sensible discussion.
On topic, I really don't know what's going to happen from here, but I don't expect to hear anything more until Don and Joe near the end of their present solo tours. An Eagles album would be a big undertaking as the name alone brings significant expectation of quality and I am sure they are as aware of this as anyone.

He thinks the Eagles will do more touring as a group and they'll get together early next year to discuss that.

I think that Don may have been warned that he was sounding like he was done with the Eagles in recent interviews (at least as reported) as he's covered the positives of working with the band and playing the hits in the last two interviews I've read/heard.
As for the Azoff influence, as their manager, it's part of his job to come up with interesting proposals.
Re: Future Eagles Projects
Nice interview! Good news about the Eagles possibly doing more touring!
Thanks, UtW!
Re: Future Eagles Projects
Great article, UTW, but the only thing that worries me is Don then goes on to say,
Quote:
“I intend to keep on writing songs and recording albums. The touring may come to a halt in a year or two, but I’ll continue to create music and recordings. I also intend to write my autobiography at some point, and maybe some poetry, but that’s a ways down the road, yet. I also intend to have a cornfield — a big one — like the ones my dad used to plant.”
Sounds like the touring end is approaching for both him and the Eagles. But, given their ages, I wouldn't be surprised if an actual retirement is announced within that timeframe.
ETA: I can't wait to read his bio!
Re: Future Eagles Projects
Even when they stop touring, they may still play occasional shows or have a residency. He also uses the word "may" so maybe if they all remain in good health (and good voice), they will continue longer.
Re: Future Eagles Projects
I'm determined to live in hope that I'll see Don solo one day so I'm hanging on to that 'may' :smile:
