Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

[EagleLady]

I Believe you're letting your preferedness for Felder cloud your judgment on Glenn.

[Topkat]

Glenn is the leader of the band...so it always seems that he's the one to be the one "with blood on his hands"....that's just part of being the leader...his job is to watch out for what's best for the group...not an easy or always pleasant job...that doesn't make him a bully...just sayin'

Well, did you read, To the Limit or the Felder book? It was not for the sake of the band, much of it was personal & BS. He instigated the fights that were almost fist fights in many cases...Did you ever read about how he treated Randy? It wasn't all in the movie... Sorry, he was a bully!

[EagleLady]

I fail to see how Glenn is a bully.

I don't think so. Things that happened with others & had nothing to do with Felder...This all goes way back.

Obviously, the movie changed no one's mind about anything, and I didn't expect it to. I've read all the same books and got completely different things out of them. I've read all the previous interviews and got a different interpretation. The difference between a good leader and a bully depends on which side you're on, and I'm not just talking the Eagles here.

I find it extremely disappointing that this thread has denigrated to this issue. There was a lot more to movie, both parts, than the one segment that has already been rehashed ad infinitum elsewhere on this board.

HaHa Zelda, I like that qualifier! Hey, speaking of you, hockey, and the DVD, I swear I saw a Sabres hat on Glenn's head during Part 2. I'm going to rewatch it after this game is over. I seriously hope my eyes deceived me.

I was under the impression that the Travis Tritt video was the first time they had gotten together...didn't realize that the guys had tried to get together in 1990 but Glenn wasn't willing...yet...
