- What if I told you The Eagles were feted to break up from the beginning? This is the Crazy story of The Eagles. From lawsuits , fights on stage and multiple band break ups. This is one band that experienced it all.
(Am well aware that Glenn Frey's death was NOT 2006, a mistake was made in the voice over during edting. You'll notice the timeline of everything before and after is correct)

Why does it seem that Don Henley would be about as much fun to hang around with as a box of rocks.
Probably because it's true.
When Henley became involved with the "Walden Woods" project (he was supposed to bring in big money and celebrity's to help) there quickly became a list of people who would not set next to him at the various dinners and meetings that were held.....
That's because he is a first class Jerk
Hen. Another Da da da
I would prefer the rocks
There also was no Eagles without Randy Meisner.
They (G & D) treated him badly. 😥
absolutely.....
@@alabhaois . . . Hey , Dr K here , ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! . .If youHaven 't , Read ' Heaven AND Hell '. ( by Don FELDER ) and you ' lol be STUNNED ' at what DBAGS FREY &HENLEY were to FELDER ! ! ! ( An INCRRREDIBLE GUITARIST ! ! . . . . . . .Dr K
@@kenth-zj3dqI read the book..it was great!
Felt really bad for Felder….I contacted him on Facebook and he responded…very very good guy..H & F were pricks….
Each time a gifted musician joined the Eagles, Henley was fearful they would take too big a position. Frey almost the same. MEisner was the greatest voice of the Eagles, and Felder the greatest guitar player and music composer. Henley and Frey could not take the threat.
Glenn passed away in 2016 NOT 2006
At least he is saying Glenn's last name right. R.I.P
What a shame a simple thing like this us got terribly wrong.
See the explanation in the intro paragraph below the video
Wrong death year on Glenn Frey and no mention of the band returning in 2018 with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey. Deacon is mentioned in the 2023 Long Goodbye Tour.
@@bshaker1188read the above comment from me and the paragraph below the video
Always been struck by the fact that after the "ego twins" fired Don Felder, the well of creative music dried up. They hired guitar players to replace him, and they could reproduce his music, but they could never create it and so they lived on what had gone before for years. It's the musicianship of Leadon, Felder and Walsh that gave the Eagles life. The lyrics to most songs don't amount to much without the music to carry them.
It dried up when Randy left. It was all down hill after that, the Long Run LP never really took off and the Long Road Out Of Edan was a flop.
before Felder Rd., Hotel, CA the Eagles were just a pleasant band then add into the mix Joe Walsh a year later and you’ve got a serious act. Those two made the band interesting. Before those two they were just an above average country like band. Felder was the smart one who knew not to, give up his shares.
Correct, lyrics are almost meaningless, its all about the music.
@@potterwalker4823 When Leadon and Meisner were forced out by Frey they seemingly, willingly left the band without recourse for compensation like Felder insisted on. those 2 guys were purists, just in for the music and art of it all!
@@markwarnberg9504 I loved that song!!
Without Don Felder this band is nothing
You are a poor prognosticator.
Frey was a jerk
Why? 😨
@@Melinda8162 they were equally five members and share equal money when they are incorporated. Frey and henley wanted more after reunion
A great songwriter, great musician, great singer, great voice--- but yes-- a major jerk.
@@Kenneth-nq2ty I didn't know at the time what was going on between them, I just loved The Eagles! One of the best groups then and from then on. Hate seeing everyone getting old, and no longer with us.
They say that nobody is irreplaceable, but Don Felder is the exception to that rule. Big time!
Not even close to true.
Felder had an iron clad contract as a member of the Eagles. He must have been given a boatload of dough in the settlement. They mentioned 50 million, I bet it was closer to 100!
Music I grew up with, THANKS.
Yes, I love the Eagles. Every song. Wild times!
Don Felder and Joe W were the ones who made eagles famous.
They were rarely (if ever) recognized for this.
You're absolutely right
They hit STARDOM with One Of These Nights. Felder made them SUPERSTARS with the Hotel California.
Si Don Felder ang pinakamagaling sa kanila mag gitara sya ang original na lumikha ng hotel californa
Fabulous story of the band Eagles-thanx
The History of the Eagles on Showtime was fantastic but has never been shown again. It sounds like a Henley/Frey conspiracy to suppress it along with their business guy!
Newsflash for Henley and Frey: I never listened to a solo album by any of the individual former Eagles more than 2 or 3 times. None of their respective bodies of work, in my opinion, could live up to the sum of the parts of the first five Eagles collectively.
News flash for you. Frey is dead, so he won't get your news flash.
@@davearonow65 . . .BRRRRUUUUTAL ANSWER Dave ! ? but FUNNNNY ! ! ! ! ! . . . . .Dr K
I disagree. Don Henley created some fantastic music as a solo artist.
@@thomasmann2327 No one would have a single clue who Don Henley is if he only had his solo material and never play3d in the Eagles.
Sadly, Frey died from his emotions. He had a bowel disease that, in my experience, is caused by anger and stress. Or at least made much more worse by it. That did him in. Ego is a terrible thing once it gets out of control.
Felder is the opposite. Not an angel, but he is still touring and looks great. Bottom line in the Eagles ripped him off. He made the Eagles a rock band instead of a country band and saved Joe Walsh from his drug habits.
No honor among the thieves of Don and Glen.
Greatest American group of all time.
no way, really? very far from THE BEACH BOYS
Glen Frey after Bernie poured a beer over his head would not dare to crack loose on Bernie as he would have gotten a severe pounding.
I’m a big fan of Glen, so don’t get me wrong.
I really appreciate this band throughout their career.
Glen was ALWAYS MY FAVORITE and my late wife's FAVORITE was Don
Did you notice the common denominator in the departures of Leadon, Meisner and Felder? Glen Frey. A great talent but not the easiest to get along with.
And his son is sometimes with the band , nowadays--- sometimes not. Which makes me think that there is some un- resolved business with Henley.
A great group with two control freaks. It’s called greed🤨
The most under appreciated rock band ever.
Greed has ruined the legacy -
I love Joe Walsh and Don Felder, but saying the eagles were “nothing” without either of them is crazy…walsh didn’t even come on until Hotel California in ‘76, which was AFTER they sold the greatest hits album, so they were already the greatest selling American band of the ‘70’s before walsh even entered. And Felder was a huge contributor to the band, I wish it could have worked out longer with Felder and Leadon together because their creative teamwork was unparalleled. Leadon also doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions to “Desperado” which in my opinion is their greatest album
Maybe it was best that Frey checked out early.
You are so sad.
The Eagles were the Best band ever n made the best music ever.
Unfortunately not only is Henley trying his best to ruin everything they built but he obviously does not care about the fan base !
I was raised listening to the Eagles Thanks to my older brother
So good love these people. This band. These were. The best years of. My life😊
If you follow the history of this band, one name keeps coming up over and over: Glen Frey. Glen's raging ego lead to Leadon leaving. Then, it lead to the exit of Meisner. Then, it lead to the exit of Felder. Of course, the exit of Felder also lead to what is rumored to be a $60 million settlement, when Frey (with Henley) thinking they could simply "fire" a corporate share owner (which you can't.) For Frey, the final ego stroke was his claiming that his problems (and eventual death) were due to NSAID use for his Rheumatoid arthritis, ignoring his 3-pack a day nicotine habit, massive cocaine habit and alcohol consumption. Glen Frey may be really talented, but he was a turd. That Felder essentially wrote all of "Hotel California" and only the last verse was added by Frey and Henley is a wonderful example of the fascist realm. We know this as his wife had the original cassette of what he gave to Frey and Henley and played it during an interview with Don and you could hear it yourself. Felder had to threaten a lawsuit to get his name on the sheet music (even though he wrote the song) and if you look at the sheet music, Felder's name is AFTER Frey and Henley (who didn't have that much to do with the song.) Ego and egomaniacs are what ended the Eagles. I'm surprised that they lasted as long as they did. Pax.
He had a huge ego. Henley not much better
Joe is just so michievous
That's all very harsh!
Undisclosed but there was more than just a money settlement, Felder most likely got Royalty Rights to all the Eagles Catolog as well as performing use of it. His tours have been loaded with Eagles songs from before he joined the band. This would not have been possible seeing that Don Henley keeps a tight grip on all Eagles Copy Rights Material.
Here in the EU we never hear any of the Eagles stuff being played on the radio.
Egos destroy so many bands.
Frey showed he was an angry little man, who even had jealousy issues with Henley, but they united through greed.
Not what they originally got into music for initially I’m sure
Even Freys son Declan couldn’t deal with Henley ego and left after replacing his father
Don Henry fucked up letting Glen frt and randy misner fight lost a great singing
My father loved take it to the limit would Glen fay sing if his voice was bad at conser to singing at at concert
❤❤❤❤❤
If they ever open up a Jack Off wing at the Rock N Roll HOF Glenn Frey and Don Henley will be in the initial class.
Bwahahaha
Best addition to the Eagles?!? Joe Walsh!! ♥️
@@marybelz8744 Well, I never heard about the other two ..I'm sure they're great as they're saying. But Joe is fantastic. He's a real hoot too! 😀
The Eagles stopped being the Eagles when Glenn passed. I love Vince Gill, but he's NO Eagle.
The band hasn't been as good since Don was dismissed
Agreed
The end of this is wrong. They continue to tour. Added Vince Gill to replace Glen Frey.
Nice…
Careful. Old Dandy Don is watching 👀👀
Don’t agree with firing a member of a band respected by the followers, you simply don’t have the right. Eagles is only as good as the whole, no 2 members make the band.
You cain´t fire a company executive out of hand, there is a process. Irving Azoff their manager should have known that.
Anyone anywhere can be fired.
@@ScooterOnHisWay2024 There is a legal process just like a divorce with no prenup.
Where are you getting your incredible footage
so sad i never saw them in concert. deacon was a great addition. miss glen tho rock on❤
. . .THANXXXXXXX ! ! THESE stories ( on My cellphone are GREAT ! ! ! . .WHYYY don ' t they show these on TV ? Instead of the 😅 piles of DUNG THEY show on most Tv NETWORKS ! ? ? ? I DO NOT GETTTT IT ! ! . . Dr KG
Interesting their famous in era triumph of Disco,Punk and Queen.
Someone in the Eagles must have been absolutely money mad....... guess who 😂🎵😂
Same video used about Felder getting fired for saying I guess , to senator Cranston back stage and Frey fighting with him.
the eagle is very excellentperformance specially they sing the song Hotel California
I believe that Henley's ego has taken a battering recently, with the lip-syncing scandal recently exposed by Wings of Pegasus on RUclips.
Just saying, you know.
Don Felder n Joe Walsh wer awesome on guitars n Randy Miesner had a awesome vocalist
Don Felder is Eagles. I m sixty, live in Morocco
something some doctors dont tell you is that meds for arthurites are hard on the stomach one reason why I can't take anything with aspirin in it
The 1976 Greatest hits album did not surpass Michael Jackson's 1982 Thriller album in sales.
It did in the 1990s.
I always found it amusing that a Greatest Hits album is considered the best-selling album of the 20th century. I’m sure that works on paper, but it’s not an album. It’s a compilation. Love the Eagles but …
Sounds like a bunch of big EGOS!!
Aren't we a catty Karen
Bernie Leadon’s last name is pronounced LEDon, not LEEdon
Frey and Henley were a pair of cnuts ! In the Eagles documentary, Frey and Henley were taking the piss out of Glyn Johns because they said he was no good. Henley is still touring, but reduced to miming. Walsh and Schimt have never been full time members, they have never been more than hired hands.
graduated in 71
It was over money, and I hope it was worth it
I am glad DF was fired. The Poor man's music was being pushed to the bottom of the pile. He came out with Heavy Metal in the early 80's and did some good work. He finally got some peace.
will always think after reading his book that getting fired saved his life
He did some songs on the soundtrack for the movie Heavy Metal (one of them being "Heavy Metal" as you mentioned the other being "All of You" ruclips.net/video/hHZfyhVOGLY/видео.html), then a couple of years later released a solo album titled Airborne which is pretty good I think. He sang the lead vocals on the song "Visions" from the One of These Nights album which also happened to be one of my favorite songs on it. If you get a chance to check out Airborne that's Don Felder singing and as far as I'm concerned he's just as good on vocals as those other two.
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME ! PERIOD !
👍👍
still think that being fired saved Felders live maybe
F the Eagles!
Jump. Don't wait.
They should have stayed a folk-country band.
And yet they are out on a farewell tour right now
And they will be touring for a long time-- Henley has to make that money.
Don Henleys solo albums are great.Hen.ey n Fry wrote the songs always take the lead
Notice how the eagles never did anything worth listening to after they fired Don Felder. Karma is a bitch served very cold.
Joe Walsh did not have any part in the writing and only the solo was added to give him a part in the song.
The music was entirely composed from a small progression and then later completed and the added lyrics by Henley were added later in studio after and sure Felder allowed just to keep Henley from having and ego stroke. I was a huge fan of them and learning later how petty and greedy they were and loved how Felder was able to make them pony up 100 million and I think he even has a 20% share in the Eagles as they settled because they knew it was better to get a NDA and look like they made it right than to lose 33% and back royalty's, and all money. They were not like cash flush so I am certain Felder took less cash and accepted 20% as offsetting the 7 years back profits and still got a huge 100 million I would imagine that was in a payment deal not all cash as that was a lot of money.
I grew up in Florida and the vibe on the coast was pretty fun in the 70's. I had a girlfriend who's dad had a room in their house that had bricks of cocaine and huge bales of weed. We would go sneak in and at 11 and 12 were selling it not even a clue we just would find a 1/kilo opened (in those days a kilo was always over so as to never be short and cause a problem and no one cut it. We would walk the beach on the weekend and had a igloo cooler and sold ice cold Coke and we only had one problem and she said her dads name and the first time I ever saw fear like that and the change in the tone was just so different... one second I was in fear and next I was holding my balls the size of a raisin like I was Scarface) We ruled that beach and we never smoked it or really knew what coke was... we just knew people were very happy to see us about 6pm on Fridays and by 7pm most Fridays we had the cash to blow on clothes, food, movies, and be able to hire a cab to drive us and wait... her dad caught us once and we just said we never used it and just sold it to get spending cash and he then told us the prices and said we are to only use the stuff he put in a closet that was overage as we learned.. they were not happy we now were selling it now at retail market we were way off and it was just so much different back then. we was not ever in need of a parent and I really do not know who her dad was but when I say room.. it was floor to ceiling.. in one side kilo bricks some were single and some were several wrapped in all colors. The other was weed in these black plastic and green tape in maybe 25 lb bales... but the smell of the room reminded me of roses and the first time I did coke it was with her and man that smell ewww cant you smell that smell... good pure coke looks like a prism of colors and when you snort it, I swear I was in a rose garden. I just would get this rush and the smell of fresh cut roses... I later after moving away (I miss her even today... Scooter
Woah, quite a story
@@ProjectHysteria It was a wild time in my life. I ended up in web dev, IT, and programming...
Hearing the songs took me back. I had not thought of her in a while... and wanted to share... I never abused drugs but they give you a perspective. Sad to say but the best masterpieces are created under the influence of something.
And then you woke up-- and realized it was just a dream.
2006!! Really???
Glenn passed away when??!
2016, or 2017.
Frey"s sins
Joe walsh got a stroke am i right??
I admire Walsh for came out of druggie world and seems doing well.😉
Says Texas, shows picture of New York City.
Also Frey and Henley was/are both authoritative asshole. You can see from the beginning. While I respect both as singers and songwriters. Neither have my respect as a human being.
And Glenn Frey passed in 2016 not 2006.
Henley a p
And you are a badass, eh?
If not for Frey and Henley, you people would not even know any of the other players' names, except rockin' Joe Walsh. Full stop.
The most overrated band ever!
Glen fry is my favorites and Randy . The best band the best music I never get tired listening to eagles. The most amazing very talented band and singers I love all the song . Outstanding no one can’t be like Eagles the best band 👍❤️❤️❤️
Whatever eagles is the best band since till now.
Henley and Frye were douchebags that’s what happened to the eagles
❤❤❤❤❤
