    Amen to both of those quotes. I have often thought of that JD statement and wondered how he feels about this new version of the band. And, that's saying a lot from JD considering he was better friends with Don than Glenn at that time in their lives when Glenn passed.

It was only done that way because we were being told Glenn was coming in a couple of days and we were led to believe that was OK and Glenn knew what was going on. We finally got some letter or phone call saying, 'If you don't stop, you know, he's going to take legal action,' or something like that. We were like, 'Wow, OK. Let's stop. We're not going to do this without Glenn.' We did. We stopped without him."
    While Felder's comment was obviously from a different circumstance, it still speaks to the fact that Glenn felt the Eagles weren't legitimate without him.... and I agree.
    This.

    Like Bernie Leadon, the silence speaks volumes to me.

    Let's not forget that Felder has spoken out against it as well (although admittedly he was hardly Glenn's advocate when Glenn was alive).

    Do we have a comment from Randy on it?

    Not as far as I know. But, he was at Classic West, was apparently invited back stage, and Don sent him a shout out in the audience during the show. I don't think Randy would want to cause any problems or bad feelings at this stage in his life. And, I can't blame him, the poor guy has been through so much the last few years.

    One thing different from Leadon and Felder is that JD has participated in the Sirius XM "Hotel California" channel which was set up to provide Sirius XM listeners a chance to hear Eagles 3.0 perform at the Grand Ole Opry. I'm not saying this says he does or doesn't approve of the current lineup, but he didn't refuse participation in the channel because of it.

    He said at the time nearer Glenn's death regarding an Eagles resumption that " I think it would be sacrilegious. I can't think of a way to do that that would be all right." Perhaps he, like Henley, feels now that the way they did do it is all right.

    I agree with you, soda. While this was a different circumstance, I believe Glenn felt there should be no Eagles without him. Another example of this happening was when he had his intestinal surgery in 1994 during the HFO tour and concerts were rescheduled until he recovered - they didn't continue without him or bring in someone else to fill in, as other bands do if a band member is sick.

    As for JD Souther's participation in the Sirius channel, I've wondered if this means he has changed his opinion. I've also wondered if the lack of participation from Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt, and the lack of any comment on what they think of the eagles continuing, means they don't approve.

    Unlike Henley, JD does not profit from singing a different tune ... at least not to the tune of booking over 50 Eagles concerts on tour for 2017-2018.

    I posted Souther's quote. See my post on the previous page. I was not trying to envisage how he now feels about it. If he has changed his mind, that's his right, but the statement was made & it deserved to be remembered... just as Don Henley's & Irving Azoff's statements quoted at the start of the thread should be remembered.

    As for the radio channel I can only assume Souther was asked to participate because of his involvement with the band as it was.
