Why does it seem that Don Henley would be about as much fun to hang around with as a box of rocks.

Glenn passed away in 2016 NOT 2006

There also was no Eagles without Randy Meisner.

They say that nobody is irreplaceable, but Don Felder is the exception to that rule. Big time!

If you look at the videos from The Long Run album, Only Timothy B. Schmidt looks like he wants to be in the room.

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.

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

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.

In my opinion..Eagles could make it without Joe Walsh..Don Felder is a great guitarist and his work and contribution in Eagles songs are phenomenal..in fact he's my favorite guitarist for the Eagles ✌️

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!

Don Felder is Eagles. I m sixty, live in Morocco

Music I grew up with, THANKS.

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.

The Eagles stopped being the Eagles when Glenn passed. I love Vince Gill, but he's NO Eagle.

Without Don Felder this band is nothing

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend also happy father's day ❤😊

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.

Frey, Henley and Felder were equal 1/3 partners in Eagles Ltd. (was 1/5, but Meisner & Leadon relinquished their shares when they voluntarily departed). Frey & Henley then wanted to edge Felder out during the reunion and take a big cut of his stake, in order to gobble up more money. Felder defends himself from getting screwed (per the legal agreement) and instead of them honoring the legal and moral agreement - they fire Felder for having the nerve to stick up for himself. Frey & Henley were just money-grubbing pompous bullies. Azoff showed favoritism and is the manager for only 2 members of the band— not the entire band. Atrocious arrangement that just was totally shameful and against Felder. Henley couldn’t “Get over it” like he loves to proclaim.
