Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

[WalshFan88]

Wow Austin, I teared up a couple of times just reading your post. You are my fellow Central Illinois Border Buddy.

You say Felder and Walsh are polar opposites in playing style. Can you elaborate? I know for me, During the HC solo, I love it when Joe comes in. I always refer to it as dirty playing, but that's just my interpretation, and not a very good one. What I mean is that after Felder's part, Joe's sounds more heavy rock, I guess.

Thanks.

Felder is a bit more reserved and more "thought out" in his guitar parts... He is really good at theory and reads music and is much more of a technical approach. Joe is a lot more into improvisation, bluesy scales, and a lot more "raw" in his sound. Dirty describes it perfectly. Joe is much more selftaught and not so much into theory. Felder taught himself too, but was more interested in the theory and technicality of playing guitar, Joe just plays by emotion and feeling. Felder puts emotion into his playing too, but you can tell it's a lot more "planned" and less spontaneous.

That was a very sweet post, WalshFan88. I think we can have more than one velvet throat.

For sure! TBH, I don't remember the Geffen part about the Golden Throat and I don't remember that being used here but I don't remember much. I guess that's a perfect reason to watch the doc again.

They both are velvet throats, but in different ways. They have different voices that compliment each other.

Hmmm, the tracking info says it's been in town since 6:46 AM...why didn't they bring it yet?

[Elizasong]

That happened to me yesterday PrettyMaid. It arrived today.

I have to say I really enjoyed the '77 concert!! I had never seen the Eagles in their hey day and this was a great show!! It seemed a little short though. For anyone who might know did they edit a lot out for the DVD? I thought there would be behind the scenes footage too but there wasn't. Either way it satisfied the "11 year old girls" curiosity!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah - the concert footage was definitely not the entire show. But it is really amazing. I love reading about all this excitement. I never got to see the band in the 70's either, so I was in heaven watching it!

[Brooke]

Wow!

What else can I say but

None of that is off the cuff...It is all "thought out" & planned, It may sound emotional to you, but it was all planned & written that way. Felder is also self taught. His style is more fluid & deliberate, but he has written a lot of the "dirty" guitar parts as well...

An article with some quotes and even a picture that I haven't seen before (others probably have).
