Favorite quotes from all members

[Delilah]

I just started reading "To the Limit" by Marc Eliot and here are some quotes so far:

Bernie - "Do you want us or don't you?"

Randy - regarding the early woodshedding days in Colorado- ""We'd do four, sometimes five sets every night, and there were times when no one was in the house except maybe a bartender and a waitress or two, and a couple of hungry chicks. It was wild, kind of like what I imagine the Beatles went through in Germany."

Don H - "We didn't go in for glitter or glam rock. We didn't wear gorilla suits or aqua lungs. Ultimately, the music by itself survived and established the band's image."

Glenn - "We're the Oakland A's of rock and roll. On the field we can't be beat. But in the clubhouse, well, there's another story."

Here's one of my favorites Henley lyrics ...

"You keep carrying that anger, It'll eat you up inside ..."

So true and just so happens that I adore the song it's from.

I similarly love:

'It isn't knowledge, it's humility we lack'

Very true!

If you've got firecrackers here tonight, wait until you get home, lock yourself in the closet and light all you got.

That cracks me up every time I see it on the DVD. This is fast becoming one of my favorite threads!

[Jonny Come Lately]

Just remembered two of my favourite Glenn quotes, both of which make me chuckle!

'Wow, a sell-out crowd! The last time I sold out was when I did that Pepsi commercial with Don Johnson!'

'How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Five. One to do it and four to go 'I can do that!'

(I actually once used this joke without explaining who had come up with it! It actually went down quite well, which probably should have been the giveaway that it wasn't mine as most of the jokes I come up with are only funny in the 'so bad, it's good' sense!)

More jokes:

Joe: "How many producers does it take to change a light bulb?"
Glenn: "I dunno, what do you think?"


"What do you call a musician without a girlfriend?"
"Homeless."

(I can't remember if this is Glenn or Joe)
"Bill Szymzcyk. He's rich. He should buy a vowel."

Some gems from the '73 Holland show.

Glenn: "Anyone here ever had a drink called Tequila Sunrise?" (1-2 claps) "Well, this is a song about tequila, Mexican whiskey."

Bernie: (about the record company) "It's called Asylum, and everybody in it is kind of crazy."

Randy: "This a new one from well, the new album...and it's also new."

Don H: ??
(poor Don didn't have anything to say or they wouldn't let him talk)

Here's a famous 1982 quote from Glenn about whether or not the Eagles would ever reunite ...

"Never. They say, 'Never say never.' Well, you can print it. It will never happen."

I think it's safe to say that most of us are very happy that he was so wrong about this one!

Proving that even Don Henley gets it wrong sometimes:

"Shit don't float"
