Long Road Out of Eden: First Impressions Survivor

[timfan]

Don said Busy Being Fabulous should be left off? Where did you read that? Everything I read said it would be released as the next single.

DF Don made this statement in the Classic Gold Interview with Nicky Horne.

I can't believe he said that and he also said it would be the next single! Hmmm.

Anyway, I love BBF! I've been wondering what the video would be like since it was supposed to be the next single! And if the guys will do any acting for it!

[sodascouts]

I hope we get another video for it, too! That would be cool!

I missed that--is it up anywhere?

This may not be as easy as some may have thought. I have to say "How Long" at this point. There is so much better material on this CD. My vote may be early but the single will not be the sole survivor. Just wanted to be first

Don Henley did say four to five songs should have been left off the CD. He also said it is part of being a band; you have to give and take so some songs stayed. Wow, how things have changed, this coming from the perfectionist who thought the guitar work for Hotel California could have been better.

It’s great to see the band work together like that. I realize this is the last CD. As DH put it, they want to go out riding on the crest of a wave not crashing into the shore.

As for leaving songs off of the CD, well isn't that what this contest is all about? I do agree, a few songs could have been left off but in the end its new Eagles material and when I am not in the mood for it, that’s what skip is for.

Exactly, bdr.

No CD is going to be perfect, but I find it interesting how disparate everyone's tastes are. What one person feels should have been left off is another person's favorite. That's why I, for one, am grateful they went ahead and gave us two discs. As has been noted before, there's something for everyone.

Thanks, Soda. I just listened to all of that, and it was very enlightening--and very good.

I loved the song-by-song commentary, but I wonder why didn't they talk about my favorite, Waiting in the Weeds?

[sodascouts]
