I guess I don't mind the electric on it, but I'm biased. If I had it my way all electric songs should stay electric and all acoustic songs should go to electric, lol. But I'm definitely biased, I'm more of a loud rock guy and I like electric guitars.
I guess some people don't like Joe's rougher voice on softer songs like Desperado or TITTL but I think they rank right up there with everyone else. It brings a different flair to it. And in the case of TITTL, it's very touching and it shows how much he liked Glenn and that it really affected him. It's a wonderful tribute and shame on anyone who poo-poo's it just because it's not the original or that his voice in their opinion isn't a good fit. TBH, I felt the same about Glenn singing but I adjusted to it and liked it a lot. YMMV. The original though is something special.
Thanks everyone. Obviously some like it, some won't but to me it was a lighthearted thing as the Eagles were always such big perfectionists and so formal (especially in the second half of the band) and it's nice to change it up. Its good to hear it done that way and I think it's a breath of fresh air at times.
