He's so f******ng good .................. a huge part of the blues feels the Eagles have push out from their songs comes out from Don, nobody can't deny.
Umm, I couldn't help but notice that the video was done by "Steve Miller".. Is that the Steve Miller? Or is it just a coincidence? BTW, I recall seeing Steve Miller contributing to Paul McCartney's Flaming Pie project in the documentary made about the album.. So I guess this wouldn't be a coincidence.. Maybe it is a relative?
@Satyr1975 ha ha ha The Don Wan of well, California. I thought he'd retired considering he was really lax about touring North America. I saw the Eagles twice since he'd left the band playing in MN
I guarantee you that the only reason that Walsh and Schmit don't talk to Felder is because of the lawsuit and Frey & Henley's attitude. Guaranteed. Not by choice.
Their signature song is still Hotel California, Don Felder wrote the music for that, plus all the guitar licks for their songs. He is considered as good as slow hand (Eric Clapton & George Harrison) on the guitar, the fact that he is associated with John Lennon and teaching children how to play music cements it for me. The Eagles are a shadow of themselves without Felder.
they were the eagles before felder and they still are after him. sorry...he's an excellent player...but one man doesn't make a group. neither is the reverse true.
@BigBoiJC I'm enjoying the Hell Freezes Over DVD again, the DTS surround is on a dual layer surface that is selected at the beginning of playback. They should remaster it for DTS and DD on one disc that alternates audio tracks instead of selecting only at the start of playback. This disc dates back to DVD and Laserdisc consecutive releases! It's old!
Felder was the Eric Clapton/David Gilmour of The Eagles. Felder's guitar work reminded me of Clapton and Gilmour in feel, soul and so forth. The new Eagles album lacks Felder's guitar but the Walsh tracks and How Long and the title cut are great tracks.
How about Don Hooks up again with Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon? Add JD Souther and Andrew Gold with the the odd guest appearance by Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne!
and they would sing all the classics wouldnt they oh the tracks they have released like ummm uhhh give me a minute sorry all i can think of is half of hotel california a third of take it to the limit and all of the timeless classics from leadons solo career.and that would struggle to fill a cd single.
its all bollox because frey and henley wrote the songs and sang them better than anyone else.. they were nothing before the eagles and did absolutely nothing for themselves once frey had the sense to kick them into touch for constantly rocking the boat
Can't believe he put those golf clubs down long enough to record this guitar part! Laughs...
We all know (!!) you can't talk about all this... but damn...We miss you soooo much!! Judging from the look on Joe's face when watching that last Eagles DVD, Joe misses you a whole lot more!! Yikes! Talk about no chemistry with Joe Walsh & "what's his name"?! sigh...
Don Felder has a lot to answer for in this house...! 1) it was because of him that I came to love the Eagles for over 30 years 2) My husband used to have long blond hair, beard, wear checked shirts, play a guitar, etc... in the '70's (he still plays) 3) my 7 yo son saw Felder play on a DVD and piped up "mum I want to play banjo and slide guutar". he is now a DRUMMER! Argghhh - should I thank you Mr Felder???
Are the Eagles still considered a rock band??Without Don Felder they lost they have no soul. If you listen to all of The Eagles albums you can tell when Don joined the band. He single-handedly mad them a ROCK band...
yeah, but remember what Felder did with his musical genius, he took the eagles to a different level with his song " Hotel California" and they never did an album as good as that one!!!
I miss the real Eagles. Their new album is really good, better than I thought it would be. But they are just not the same without Felder. His solos, timing, slides, vibrato and fills just can't be replaced.
Have to agree - the new CD I keep because I like "How Long" (reminds me of their first album and is a lvoely song - thank you JD Souther). title track (Long Road) starts off good, there's a nice Walsh solo in the middle then ... fizzzzzzzzzz UHG what happened to the cool solo that was supposed to be at the end? Think it (and the rest of the riffs) went with Felder!
Joe Walsh must miss this guy cause from 70's videos he really likes don felder, as well as during the HFO tour. I wish he came back to eagles so they could really "Rock". GIBSONS R BETTER THAN FENDERS
One of the best, I mean he wrote the music for Hotel California. I mean the Intro with the 12-string, the harmonies, the bass line, his solo. and the chords. He came up with the best song in history in my opinion. He's the Best!!!
Don Felder is one of those great guitar players that badly under rated. Between Don Felder and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, I think they're both INCREDIBLE to listen to.
Don Felder Rocks, he's the best guitarist out there, the way he plays the acoustic and electric version on hotel california is totally awsome. he is my guitar hero. You fucking Rock Felder. he should go back with the eagles and play with joe walsh again.
Don Felder is the best guitarist (guitar god). I love every things he does. I wish that he return to The Eagle. I love both versions of Hotelcalifornia that he improvided.
He was fired over money issues. He then sued the Eagles for wrongful termination and breach of contract.Henley and Frey only considered him a guitar and noted that he didnt sing like him.Felder is a killer guitar player and wrote note for note(minus Walsh's lead solo break)all of the instrumental music to Hotel California.
You're right about that, Don is the best guitarist from the Eagles. Wish he can rejoin the Eagles once again. The Eagles are not complete with out him.
Don Felder must be the worlds`most under-rated guitarist ever!Love the Eagles,but they`re not the same without the great man!! Nice to see him play again though!
