I thought that Glenn was the only one who started the Eagles and that he was the only one who's got the permission to sing the songs, until I found Desperado and notice that it wasn't Glenn, haha.

Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all
Things can change when you hear something else, and with the day you would be smarter.
It's funny to see that there a lot of people who didn't know that the Eagles were with 4 members and they only knew one of them

I totally agree MF! Yes! Its no secret here that I'm in love with Glenn . I pulled out all the stops going to that gig and can be assured I looked the best I ever will that night. And yes! I was delighted by the bit of attention I was paid by Glenn (and Joe) . I don't know if Glenn found myself, MF, GEF or anyone else at that gig attractive or whether he was acknowledging our obvious interest in and knowledge of their music. I'm sure if he copped how we felt about him he would have been flattered that he can still attract the 'girls'. But that was where it started and ended.Originally Posted by Mrs Frey
As I said to MF in a pm on Friday, it is true too that the lads have reached a stage in their lives where thay are happily married and have wonderful families. They know that they would have too much to lose over a quick tryst with a fan. And I also genuinely think that they would have too much love and respect for their wives to do such a thing anyway.
I responded that yes I would go up to that suite if I was asked to because I felt we were operating this thread in fantasy land, not the real world. And thats where any fantasies I might have would always stay!

Now, to get back to the original ideas expressed here I would say that I too am guilty of 'Bubble Syndrome'. I knew a lot of Eagles songs both from having heard them on the radio and also from the guitar song books that I used to use when playing. I also knew a few of Don and Glenn 's more popular songs, such as BOS, ETOI (although I didn't realise it was Don. I LOVED the piano in it), NYM, SG, SB, THIO, YBTTC and of course POMPOY although (shame to say ) I hadn't bought any of their albums at that stage. But it took that F1 concert 2 years ago for me to realise just how many Eagles songs I actually did know. Then when I downloaded Glenn 's albums (legally) soon afterwards, it was a revealation to me that I knew quite a few of his other songs, such as TL, IFS, TOYL and SS to name a few. My catch phrase was 'Oh I didn't realise Glenn did that one! No wonder I've always liked it!'
So I've actually been a fan a lot longer than I had initially suspected.
But I still HAVE one ambition and that is to see a Glenn solo gig live someday. SOON!!

Like DF I had tried to get the thread back on track too. Thank you TBF for your comments.
I never thought the Eagles only consisted of Glenn Frey and/or Don Henley. The voices were both so distinctive that it was obvious they were two different people. I did think when I became a fan that Don Felder, who was my favourite (yes, it's true, and you can all stop laughing now) was in fact Randy Meisner. I didn't realise who he was until I saw the Hotel California video at the end of 1978.
My blind spot was that my favourite voice was Glenn's, and looking at him before 1979, I just didn't get it. I was too young to have a favourite singer who also didn't appeal to me in terms of looks. That was to change, of course.
Well, as I said earlier. I really can't contribute much here because I was a fan from the beginning. I bought every album, so I knew all the songs. I've mentioned this before, but the funniest thing I can remember is when The Long Run album came out. Their look had changed so drastically that I remember having to try to figure out who each one was. Of course, I was pretty floored by the drastic change in Glenn's looks. What confused me even more is that I had somehow missed the fact that Randy had left and been replaced by Tim. I thought Randy had REALLY changed, and it was only upon reading the album credits that I realized it.

That is too funny Dreamer! I was also a fan from the beginning and since I'd been a Timothy fan since he started, I wasn't shocked like you were. As I've mentioned, I wore out my 8 track of their Greatest Hits.
I possess the silver bullets to slay the demons from my past. How do I know? Because I survived them-and I am already stronger than I believe.
I always knew that the Eagles were Glenn and Don, but after that wasn't sure who else was in the band until I went to their gig in 2006. I knew them more for their music, and wouldn't have known much how any of them looked until I saw them live and for real that night, although I had been aware from a few of his videos how Glenn looked! But he was oh so much better in the flesh!
