These years will not be remembered by those who didn't see them. It's the most irrelevant time in the bands history and is only relevant because Glenn is dead."
YEF - We could go on arguing with you forever about this.You state Don would rather do his own thing than spend time with the Eagles. Well, if that is true, than that is what he should/would be doing.(NOTE:His touring last year was contractually obligated via his Cass County cd before Glenn passed and should not count regarding this). He made numerous statements, including as late as Dec. 2016, that the Eagles would no longer perform again. He stated Glenn was irreplaceable. That without Glenn, the founder, leader, co-lead singer/songwriter, it would be a money grab. Well, that is what it has become and it is selfishly motivated. They have replaced Glenn. You think that Glenn's voice is plain and not the best in the band, but I and many other people here disagree with you. His voice was different but beautiful. The same with Randy's and Bernies's were. You ask if it is not worth a watered down Eagles for a couple of years and my answer is a resounding NO. We feel this cheapens the legacy of the Eagles. I think it is safe to assume that had Don Henley passed instead of Glenn, we would not see this version of the Eagles. Glenn would never have tried to replace Don H. and understood his importance to the legacy of the band. This was a bold and calculated move by Don H. and Irving Azoff motivated by money. Yes, Glenn was about money, but not enough to cheapen the legacy of the band he loved and spent 3/4 of his life guiding and performing in. And THAT is mine as well as numerous other people's point.
NOTE:MY ABOVE STATEMENTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO GO SEE THE BAND. I HAVE STATED NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THOSE WHO WANT TO GO SHOULD DO SO. THIS IS A RESPONSE TO YEF STATEMENTS ONLY.
