I'm 79 the Eagles were one of my favorites group.And still are .I'm so happy and glad to see young people hear and enjoy the music I loved and still do.
I'm a young metal head that is obsessed with the eagles and older music, it makes me hopeful for the future when I see younger people finally realizing what great music is. Unlike most of what is made these days.
Your young! Check out the 70's, so diverse. Check out Phil Collins live, In The Air Tonight. Hope you do well! Nice to see young people appreciating the oldies🙂✌️
I love when you can discover these songs, too! I grew up with this. Listen to the music, the instrumentation, but also the lyrics. This was a creepy story... :) And yes, the lead singer on this one was the drummer, Don Henley. If you want to see another lead singer of a band who plays the heck out of drums, check out Phil Collins version of "In the Air Tonight" live.
Don Henley lead vocals/ drums. Glen Frey acoustic guitar/vocals , Randy Meisner bass/vocals , Joe Walsh lead guitar/vocals & Don Felder double neck guitar lead guitar /vocals Each member in this band was a lead vocalist but the Don Henley & Glen Frey did most of it. Very deep rabbit hole of very good music
They literally have dozens of trawlers who scour the internet looking for videos to strike. So petty and such a shit way to treat people who appreciate their music
I enjoyed your reaction Skotty. I feel blessed to have seen them back in the day and also about 10 years ago. We really had awesome music in the 70’s. The Eagles sounded unbelievable in the live performances I saw. I’m so glad you’re enjoying this music. This is my first time watching you, but if you haven’t done so yet, please check out The Doobie Brothers… “Long Train Runnin’” “ Listen to the Music” and many more.
Thanks, Scotty because I was thinking "PLEASE do not interrupt that solo ending" as it breaks up all the rhythm, momentum, flow, and continuity which is building to a climax but I WAS worried that you were going to do that and I am grateful that you did not. though you did close your eyes all thru' the end guitarist( Joe Walsh) making some really funny facial gestures. lol
Hotel California is about fame and it's excesses. In the 70's CA was the place to make and create music, hence Hotel California. Last guitar solo is one the best in all of rock and roll.
Eagles are one of the top bands of that era and they have a TON of stuff to check out. Another great band who you will love is Lynyrd Skynyrd (check out "Free Bird for starts) and Led Zeppelin (start with "Stairway to Heaven"). As excited as you were to hear this one, you'll have the same feelings over these. Great reaction, young man!
A great reaction. Buddy, get yourself a decent pair of headphones and perhaps a DAC. You see, you are missing so much playing through your computer's speakers. This doesn't apply to just this song, but most music.
4:03 "I've Seen Lead Singers That Play Guitar And I've Seen Lead Singers That Play Piano, But,I've Never Seen A Lead Singer That Plays Drums" They're pretty uncommon, but to be fair, Don Henley, the drummer in this video, isn't the only member that sings Lead, in fact, all of the members of the eagles take turns singing Lead Plus, there's quite a few other bands that have a drummer that sings lead on some songs and here's a few examples: There Romantics on the song "What I Like About You" Peter Criss from Kiss sang Lead on a few songs, such as "Black Diamond", "Hard Luck Woman" and "I Finally Found My Way" Phil Collins became the leader singer in addition to being the drummer of Genesis after their original Lead Singer, Peter Gabriel had left to pursue a solo career
I was in high school during this time. Eagles were great! But this song is about the largest satanic church in this country and maybe in the world at the time. Many of the actors, bands and singers went there. Anton Level was the high priest, the woman at the door was the high witch. You could not enter unless she aloud it. The candle at the front door was always lit. In the song "you can enter, but you can never leave "
Eagles was a great group. Need to check out Joe Walsh (the guitar player here with dew rag) he was James Gang and a solo career prior to joining the Eagles.
It’s great to see someone from your generation discovering music from my generation. Keep great music alive young man. From the Eagles to Earth Wind and Fire. We had music that had REAL soul. God Bless It was different when you had to drive to the record store and buy an album. When roadies and groupies followed bands all over the country.
You also have 3 lead singers, Don the drummer, Glen playing acoustic guitar and Joe playing guitar...all three had solo careers with great songs that were awesome.
Don Henley drums.don Felder 12string.joe Walsh tythum guitar Glen fry acoustic guitar.randy meisner bass. Maybe the greatest group of talent on stage at one time ever.all were great musicians.all were great singers.all had their own careers separate from the group
Don Henley, drummer for the Eagles, sang lead on many of their hits. Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters was, surprisingly, their drummer. The Monkees' Mickey Dolenz was both their drummer and one of their lead singers. Levon Helm, of The Band, sang as well as played drums. Elton John was in fact a drum player, but he was not very skilled.
I don't know how young you are... I was a teenager when this iconic album came out, I remember one of my bestie's mom telling her, "do you know that a colita is a dead body"? It really meant weed, lol my friend told her mom, "so what." I saw The Eagles in '78 in NY. Fantastic!!! What a time it was to be a teenager (the 70's)!!!
Thanks, it’s another old guy here that loves to see the great appreciation that young people show for years ago rock and roll, yes, with a tinge of country mixed in. I noticed your eyes closed to absorb the music but be sure to go back and just watch the different facial expressions all through the song! And, remember the opening with the title out of focus (like a distance away), then it gets clearer then real clear. And he sees the Hotel California…realizes it is an old Mission (like the Alamo), hears the Mission Bell….but thinks…”this could be Heaven or this could be Hell!’ And “you can check out anytime, but you can never leave.” Yes, Heaven or Hell??
This album has sold over 32 million copies and has gone platinum 26 times!! Definitely worth a serious journey down their rabbit hole!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🎧🎸🥁🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 (please get headphones and turn up the bass!!😉😉😉)
One of my favorite bands of all time😊 Check out, Best of my love from this same concert. I can't tell you why, Wasted time, Long run, & soooo many more😊
I just saw The Eagles live twice in the last few years. They’re in their 70’s and still amazing!!! My other favorite songs by them are “Take it Easy” and “Desperado”. And wear headphones! They’re like a symphony!
Young man, from the 60's to the 80's, pop music went to an incredible musical creativity. Real musicians, real singers and composers. Now, pop music is so mean and so copied-pasted sounding all alike.
Eagles are an amazing group who's been around for 52 years and still going strong. The drummer, Don Henley. He and the late Glenn Frey (the guy who's playing the acoustic guitar) wrote majority of the Eagles hits. The guy who's playing the Double Neck, Don Felder co-wrote the song with Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Also everybody in the band sing lead on songs even though Don H and Glenn sung majority of their hits. I love seeing Don Henley playing the drums and singing at the same time. There aren't that many singing drummers especially who is the lead singer or co-leader of a band. I can count my hand. Phil Collins (Genesis), the late Levon Helm (the Band), Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters) etc. They were the lead singer of their bands and played drums. You should hear their other songs like Take it To the Limit, Take It Easy, New kid in Town. There are so many great songs you should hear.
Just to let you know how low we got in music quality. The best decades in quality and quantity. 1. 70's 2. 80's 3. 60's 4. 90's 5 50's Rap, messed all up! The less rapping, the better.
Stevie Nick's is the Woman in the song. The Hotel was a recording studio in Laurel Canyon . Stevie was who they were dancing to forgot. The Beast was Cocaine.
You should react to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight," and the Guess Who "These Eyes." If you haven't yet, you should react to something from The Carpenters: Superstar, Rainy Days and Mondays, Close to You, anything really will show the voice of Karen Carpenter who was also the drummer.
There's probably a good reason you don't see many lead singer/drummer combinations. You have to be very coordinated. I'm not a drummer, but I know you're not just using your hands, but you're also using both feet to play the bass drum and the high hat cymbals. That's hard enough, but then you add singing to all that. That can't be easy. So, my hat goes off to Don Henley (The Eagles), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger). Peter Criss (Ex- Kiss), the late Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters- the only female singer/drummer I'm aware of) and any other singers/drummers I missed.
Thank you for enjoying our classic bands and songs. Continue doing this, and you just started your legendary tip thru music and yes we did have great artists and bands in the 60's 70's and 80's. Thanks again, I will continue watching your channel.🫶🎤🎶👍🌟🦅
Another performer who both sings and plays the drums is Karen Carpenter of the duo "The Carpenters". It's a sister/brother duo. She could SING and was also a very good drummer.
The only other band that comes to mind where the lead singer is also the drummer is "Night Ranger". You should check out their song "Sister Christian".
the only singer I know of that also plays drums if Phil Vollins, he’s amazing. Check out his Sony In the Air Tonight. If you want some mind blowing music, you must check out Pink Floyd’s song Comfortably Numb. Also listen to Led Zeppelin’s song Kashmir. One think to help you fully enjoy Pink Floyd or Zeppelin, you don’t ‘listen’ to their music. You experience their music. It’s a sit back close your eyes and let the music take you kind of music. I think that’s the best way I can explain it. There are no other bands who’s music I feel that way about, and I’m not alone in that.
That silly sports game that you paused.... one of the top 5 most epic guitar solos in music history for...?? .I'm from Canada. I grew up listening to these guys...but that team that you refer to...what the f*ck are you talking about ??
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. Basically the only way out is in a bodybag, and the sad part is you'll do it to yourself. Drugs, alcohol, women, gambling, etc... a prisoner to your vices.
you never heard of the number one selling band of the entire 20th century in the US who have been touring constantly for the last 30 yrs wow you're intelligent
I do have one suggestion besides music. You should really use headphones or earbud or something when listening to music prior to 1990. Most of it was meant to be played in stereo and you get the best experience with headphones. One in particular I just watch you do was Queens Bohemian Rhapsody, totally different experience through headphones.
I'm 79 the Eagles were one of my favorites group.And still are .I'm so happy and glad to see young people hear and enjoy the music I loved and still do.
I'm a young metal head that is obsessed with the eagles and older music, it makes me hopeful for the future when I see younger people finally realizing what great music is. Unlike most of what is made these days.
I LOVE seeing young people digging the music I loved at their age! You ROCK, baby!
You need headphones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please
That wasn't just a guitar solo it was a double guitar solo two guitars making that unique sound
Your young! Check out the 70's, so diverse. Check out Phil Collins live, In The Air Tonight. Hope you do well! Nice to see young people appreciating the oldies🙂✌️
The Eagles were amazing. Felder and Walsh turned this into a dance with 24 strings. Freaking amazing. One of my favorite live performances ever!!
The Eagles were one of the very, very few groups that used 5 part harmony in their vocals. Extremely unusual.
The entire album is a masterpiece.
I love when you can discover these songs, too! I grew up with this. Listen to the music, the instrumentation, but also the lyrics. This was a creepy story... :) And yes, the lead singer on this one was the drummer, Don Henley.
If you want to see another lead singer of a band who plays the heck out of drums, check out Phil Collins version of "In the Air Tonight" live.
Also Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters.
One of the greatest in history according to American Songwriter
The Eagles before going out on their own were the back up musicians for Linda Ronstadt. You should check her out singing, Blue Bayou.
Don Henley lead vocals/ drums. Glen Frey acoustic guitar/vocals , Randy Meisner bass/vocals , Joe Walsh lead guitar/vocals & Don Felder double neck guitar lead guitar /vocals Each member in this band was a lead vocalist but the Don Henley & Glen Frey did most of it. Very deep rabbit hole of very good music
Eagles can be tricky to react to as they are quick to block and strike. This song is so good!
They literally have dozens of trawlers who scour the internet looking for videos to strike. So petty and such a shit way to treat people who appreciate their music
This is not just "rock"...this is GREAT music. I think even Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven would be impressed...
I agree 100%. Good music transcends genres.
It doesn’t get much better than this. There’s so much talent on that stage it’s ridiculous! Nice choice. Love your reaction. 🌺✌️
This was a time when Music was Music...
Eagles and Genesis, 2 of the greatest bands of all time, both lead singers play the drums.
I think the Adacab music video has Phil singing while drumming
I enjoyed your reaction Skotty. I feel blessed to have seen them back in the day and also about 10 years ago. We really had awesome music in the 70’s. The Eagles sounded unbelievable in the live performances I saw. I’m so glad you’re enjoying this music. This is my first time watching you, but if you haven’t done so yet, please check out The Doobie Brothers… “Long Train Runnin’” “ Listen to the Music” and many more.
They still tour
Thanks, Scotty because I was thinking "PLEASE do not interrupt that solo ending" as it breaks up all the rhythm, momentum, flow, and continuity which is building to a climax but I WAS worried that you were going to do that and I am grateful that you did not. though you did close your eyes all thru' the end guitarist( Joe Walsh) making some really funny facial gestures. lol
Hotel California is about fame and it's excesses. In the 70's CA was the place to make and create music, hence Hotel California. Last guitar solo is one the best in all of rock and roll.
Phil Collins LIVE PERFORMANCE 2004 in Paris is THE video to see! Meszmerizing! Talk about takin’ a trip or out of body experience!
Eagles are one of the top bands of that era and they have a TON of stuff to check out. Another great band who you will love is Lynyrd Skynyrd (check out "Free Bird for starts) and Led Zeppelin (start with "Stairway to Heaven"). As excited as you were to hear this one, you'll have the same feelings over these. Great reaction, young man!
Check out The Band. Levi Helm is the drummer and the singer, and they played at Woodstock!! The Band - The Weight
A great reaction. Buddy, get yourself a decent pair of headphones and perhaps a DAC. You see, you are missing so much playing through your computer's speakers. This doesn't apply to just this song, but most music.
Advocate. Adversary is the opposite.
Want to see awesome double neck guitars in action? Watch the live version of Rush’s song “Xanadu” from their exit stage left tour.
Listen to Led Zeppelin!!!! You will love them!!!👍👍👍😁

"I've Seen Lead Singers That Play Guitar And I've Seen Lead Singers That Play Piano, But,I've Never Seen A Lead Singer That Plays Drums"
They're pretty uncommon, but to be fair, Don Henley, the drummer in this video, isn't the only member that sings Lead, in fact, all of the members of the eagles take turns singing Lead
Plus, there's quite a few other bands that have a drummer that sings lead on some songs and here's a few examples:
There Romantics on the song "What I Like About You"
Peter Criss from Kiss sang Lead on a few songs, such as "Black Diamond", "Hard Luck Woman" and "I Finally Found My Way"
Phil Collins became the leader singer in addition to being the drummer of Genesis after their original Lead Singer, Peter Gabriel had left to pursue a solo career
Kansas- Carry on wayward son is a great song with great instruments the official video ❤ 89 million views
I was in high school during this time. Eagles were great! But this song is about the largest satanic church in this country and maybe in the world at the time. Many of the actors, bands and singers went there. Anton Level was the high priest, the woman at the door was the high witch. You could not enter unless she aloud it.

Love the Eagles

It was different when you had to drive to the record store and buy an album. When roadies and groupies followed bands all over the country.
Love your reaction! I love the Eagles. They are amazing in concert. Don Henley is one of those rare singer/drummers 🩷✌🏻
Good stuff. Get yourself some decent big old headphones mate. you'll appreciate it.
you need to watch Phil collins in the air tonight. As he is a drummer and singing !
You also have 3 lead singers, Don the drummer, Glen playing acoustic guitar and Joe playing guitar...all three had solo careers with great songs that were awesome.
You want to see a lady playing the drums while singing check the Carpenter’s Rainy Days and Monday’s
When you said you don’t interrupt guitar solos, I subscribe,
The song is about drugs I think
Don Henley drums.don Felder 12string.joe Walsh tythum guitar
Glen fry acoustic guitar.randy meisner bass. Maybe the greatest group of talent on stage at one time ever.all were great musicians.all were great singers.all had their own careers separate from the group
carpenters, rainy days will blow mind into atoms.
some other singing drummers include the Band and Genesis.
Oh man. Just listen to any Eagles song. So many great musicians and singers in one group. Amazing talent.
I love this song! I wish I had been in the audience! IMO this was Eagles best concert.
Don Henley, drummer for the Eagles, sang lead on many of their hits. Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters was, surprisingly, their drummer. The Monkees' Mickey Dolenz was both their drummer and one of their lead singers. Levon Helm, of The Band, sang as well as played drums.

have you listened to Unchained Melody............by The Righteous Brothers
Look Up The Top Selling Bands Of ALL TIME..... legendary
I don't know how young you are... I was a teenager when this iconic album came out, I remember one of my bestie's mom telling her, "do you know that a colita is a dead body"? It really meant weed, lol my friend told her mom, "so what." I saw The Eagles in '78 in NY. Fantastic!!! What a time it was to be a teenager (the 70's)!!!
You want to try Phil Collins ...."In the air tonight"....another singer .drummer....(live version)
The 70's were the best decade of all genres of music.
❤
Next progressive rockb you need to listen to is NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN by the Moody Blues...fantastic...
Good job! A little less pausing.Study your craft,you will do GREAT! GOD BLESS!!!
Bro's ! They are in the Hall of FAME !!!
Please check out Simon and Garfunkel. Their catalog is extensive.
Thanks, it’s another old guy here that loves to see the great appreciation that young people show for years ago rock and roll, yes, with a tinge of country mixed in.
I noticed your eyes closed to absorb the music but be sure to go back and just watch the different facial expressions all through the song!
And, remember the opening with the title out of focus (like a distance away), then it gets clearer then real clear.

Other amazing drummer that sings# the incomperable Phil Collins.
Dude! If you haven't yet, check out Phil Collins performing In The Air Tonight.
Whats mind blowing is everyone in the band sings lead.
This album has sold over 32 million copies and has gone platinum 26 times!! Definitely worth a serious journey down their rabbit hole!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🎧🎸🥁🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 (please get headphones and turn up the bass!!😉😉😉)
One of my favorite bands of all time😊 Check out, Best of my love from this same concert. I can't tell you why, Wasted time, Long run, & soooo many more😊
🖤🖤🖤
Never seen a lead singer play a drum??? Check out Phil Collins.
Another good soy to listen to is Smoke on the water by Deep Purple
Yoo just found you ran from this song, you NEED to check out mick jerkins -Chicago
It's amazing how musically illiterate the kids of today are. So sad.😢
I just saw The Eagles live twice in the last few years. They’re in their 70’s and still amazing!!! My other favorite songs by them are “Take it Easy” and “Desperado”. And wear headphones! They’re like a symphony!
Don Felder, the double guitarist, co-wrote this song. Wanted equal pay. Got fired.
Thourouly enjoy watching the younger generation discover the music that was the soundtrack of my youth.
Young man, from the 60's to the 80's, pop music went to an incredible musical creativity.
Real musicians, real singers and composers.
Now, pop music is so mean and so copied-pasted sounding all alike.

You should hear their other songs like Take it To the Limit, Take It Easy, New kid in Town. There are so many great songs you should hear.
If I’m not mistaken, I think the Eagles had multiple singers. Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Joe Walsh.
Just to let you know how low we got in music quality.
The best decades in quality and quantity.
1. 70's
2. 80's
3. 60's
4. 90's
5 50's
Rap, messed all up!
The less rapping, the better.
If you want singer/drummer try Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" . It's the best when you watch the video.
Speaking of a lead singer who plays drums, check out Karen Carpenter.
Stevie Nick's is the Woman in the song. The Hotel was a recording studio in Laurel Canyon . Stevie was who they were dancing to forgot. The Beast was Cocaine.
This song is about Norcal state penitentiary in Southern California
You should react to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight," and the Guess Who "These Eyes." If you haven't yet, you should react to something from The Carpenters: Superstar, Rainy Days and Mondays, Close to You, anything really will show the voice of Karen Carpenter who was also the drummer.
You cant ... this Time was ... never comes again !!!
You need to stay in their Rabbit Hole!!! Great group!!
Try The Eagles "New Kid in Town" from the same concert. More brilliance!
Another lead singer who plays drums is Phil Collins.
Listen to 3 Dog Nights; Black and White....
Dear blacks: we don't care what you think about our music.
There's probably a good reason you don't see many lead singer/drummer combinations. You have to be very coordinated.

Jamari room by Apomasi is actually fire tbh check that
Check out Those Shoes, I recommend the Live Millennial version or live at The Forum.
😊 I've only seen a couple of your reactions so far but I'm really impressed at your curiosity and your perspective and your depth
you never heard of the number one selling band of the entire 20th century in the US who have been touring constantly for the last 30 yrs wow you're intelligent

Phill Collins is a singing drummer. Some nice hits there. good episode, dude. LA out.
