Product Description:
The Eagles are the bestselling, and arguably the tightest-lipped, American group ever. Now band member and guitarist Don Felder finally breaks the Eagles’ years of public silence to take fans behind the scenes. He shares every part of the band’s wild ride, from the pressure-packed recording studios and trashed hotel rooms to the tension-filled courtrooms, and from the joy of writing powerful new songs to the magic of performing in huge arenas packed with roaring fans.

- Inside look at the Eagles and it ain't pretty...
September 18, 2008, the Eagles, or I should say two Eagles out of the original band -- Don Henley and Glen Frey -- plus their two highly paid sidemen, Tim Schmit and Joe Walsh, roll into Nashville.

I pay an arm and a leg for the family to see them and we're treated to a concert that sounds a bit too perfect. No spontaneity, just a somewhat robotic performance. My 16-year old son is bored and I keep telling him -- hey, just wait ! These are the EAGLES -- they're just getting warmed up! However, after awhile, even I am wondering if these guys are even awake. We have a lot of really excellent musicians come and go through our area and the Eagles -- at least on this particular night -- just don't have it. Even Joe Walsh, one of my favorite guitarists of all time, is relegated to acting out the part of a rock and roller. (Man is he playing for the wrong band !)

The next day I'm curious as to ... Read More

- A Magnificent Story of "Self-Reliance"
WARNING!! If you pick this book up...you will not be able to put it down.."Self-Reliance"...an essay by Emerson, inspired Don Henley to greatness, and it is clearly the path Don Felder took. Hey Don...if you are reading this...your performance of Hotel California on the Howard Stern show was a beautiful rendition...imho you should have NO "confidence problem" with your singing...talk about soulful...WOW! Anyone interested in hearing that classic, just go to YouTube....Peace and Love...

- Life In A Disfunctional Rock Family
The most interesting bit of information from this book is the financial and emotional treatment of everyone who is not Henley or Frey. WOW! Timothy Schmidt is my favorite Eagle and to learn of the arrangement he and Joe Walsh are under while the two "Gods" make a fortune is very telling about the management of the group and the greed of Henley and Frey.

A great read in which Don Felder takes an honest look at the personalities of all the members, including himself. He was screwed and yet in some way wants to excuse Henley and Frey by taking the high ground, not being vicious or brutal. Obviously he is a gentleman who took a moral stand against Henley and Frey, who are less than ethical. Yet again a story of rock egos run amuck with everyone else paying the price.
