    Default Poll: Do you support a new album by Eagles + Guests?

    I saw a similar poll on another forum so I was curious about the general view by Border members.

    No, but with the caveat about 'previously unreleased material by Glenn' being the only possible thing that could sway me in the other direction.

    Honestly, I'm confused by the choice about using the Eagles name - if it's an Eagles album, they're using the Eagles name, right? I'm also a bit confused about using previously unreleased Glenn material. How do you mean?

    I don't want a new album from these "Eagles" but I'm confused by these extra choices, lol.

    Possibly what is meant is that they could do an album with this lineup but not call themselves 'Eagles'. If that's the scenario, I am still not interested in it.

    Or miraculously out of nowhere they could find some unissued Eagles recordings featuring Glenn & combine them with newly recorded tracks. But if that were to happen quite frankly, I would only want Henley, Walsh & Schmit involved.

    Hello, welcome back, FP. Yes, your explanations reflect what I meant. Thanks.

    I picked this option because I support a collaboration between (Henley, Walsh, Schmit, Deacon, and/or Vince) but it shouldn't be labeled "Eagles".
    ex: A Henley/Walsh album

    Yeah, I don't care if they want to work together as long as they don't pretend it's the Eagles - maybe I should have picked that one too - but the original poll question was that it was an album by the "Eagles" + guests....?

    Ah well. I guess it's not a tragedy if I picked the wrong one, lol.

    No.
    I thought there was no unreleased material. However, I know they also claimed they had no footage from the 70's so who knows...

    This is basically it for me. If it would be mixed in with new stuff from the guests, I'd simply only import the songs with Glenn into my iTunes....I'm simply not interested in new music from the new era of this band. Just my feelings on it.

    Nah, IMO there's no reason for an album. Deacon and Vince are there to "help" with live performances. It doesn't mean either one of them will naturally become "an Eagle" in the studio. I wouldn't have much interest even if they used some unreleased Glenn stuff, because it wouldn't necessarily be great stuff. (Music often remains unreleased for a reason.) Even though I'm a Glenn fan, I don't want to hear anything by him only because it's him.

    I couldn't vote, because there was no suitable option for me. "No. The Eagles' last studio album was in 2007. Nothing they do now can measure up to past releases." is the closest, but I can't say beforehand that they can't make an album as good as the previous ones, can I? It just wouldn't be the Eagles for me. Hmm...perhaps I should vote "depends on if and how the "Eagles" name is used". I still wouldn't actually support it, but it would be ok with me.
