Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

[GlennLover]

Me too. Did you read the bit about how many farm animals the crowd slaughtered because they were hungry?! [shudder] Bit of a Lord of the Flies thing going on. Not Woodstock-y at all, but more like the Woodstock '99 hell scene.

OT: I would borrow the time machine for June 21, 1975 at Wembley Stadium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KldSglCoYaU

Cool! Nice find, MBM!

Wow, what cool commercial! I doubt that you'd see something like that on tv now.

Man, if I had seen that commercial when I was a kid, my head would have exploded. Too thrilling. Elton John and the Beach Boys were my very favorite musicians. I liked the Eagles and Rufus too.

I wonder if anyone filmed the concert? Guess it would have turned up by now.

I believe that there is audio of some of Elton's set on youtube. I don't know about any footage, though.

Rolling Stone wants to know the best Eagles song. (You can vote for any song that they ever recorded)

You have to vote via their Facebook page or Twitter, though.

I found this and I thought others might enjoy it. I did.

This was published a day or so ago and I put it in the Little Rock concert thread today. I closed that thread since the concert is in progress. I thought I'd put it here as well, in case people wish to comment on it.

I disagree with GH being the "Eagles album everyone needs to own". The Very Best of is what I'd pick for that. My mom bought me a copy of the Very Best of from Walmart when I was 13, and I still have it. (At the age of 13, the music bug hadn't quite hit me full force, so I attribute that to me remaining a casual fan for several more years to come.)

I also disagree with the author's opinion of Already Gone(the only one of my top 5 (almost top 10) Eagles songs to appear on GH). Imo, it's one of their best songs and one of the best songs ever(hence my usage of it as a username).

Now, the hate thing. I'm a part of a group of "metal heads" online. When I mentioned that the Eagles had clicked with me, the reaction wasn't very positive, although I had a few friends admit to being closet Eagles fans. I think that most "haters" just hate cause its cool. A few of my friends were like "those country rock posers.. you like that wimpy sissy wannabe rock band?". I showed them AG, James Dean, Get Over It, LITFL etc. Then they shut up. I honestly won't ever understand the hate.

Kind of strange...whatever world The Rolling Stone lives in is a few hours or days ahead of the rest of us. They claim this is a reader poll of favorite Eagles songs.

It's a poll done on RS's Facebook and Twitter pages. I posted the link to the page in this thread a few days ago (either Friday or Saturday, I can't remember). I voted for Outlaw Man, but I knew that it wasn't gonna make the top 10.

Overall, that is a pretty good top 10.
