Don Felder Heaven & Hell, my life in the Eagles HowardTVFelder01

[@mymusicfromheart]

He is still so handsome as he was years ago, at the beggining of the group. and of course an excellent guitarman . Love you

[@BeeBumper]

Why Felder? Because if you watch them live the man is perfect and never misses a note. They all were and are great live performers but he is as good as any of them.

[@6000cs]

Don Felder! Anyone who Glen Frey hates MUST be a great guy!

[@sabian53]

I couldn't agree with you more - great guy Don!

[@decacards5250]

On album covers with The Eagles, Felder looked like a mean guy, but he is actually articulate, intelligent, and humble.

[@RoyLlowarch]

Loved watching all the videos in this interview. Excellent

[@JobeFamilys]

He gets better looking as he gets older. What an interesting history he has had. Love the Eagles. No gimmicks required unlike the trash music these days, just heaps of Talent.

[@Chasstful]

Don Felder is such a nice guy, its impossible not to sympathize with him in his battle with Frey/Henley. Neither Frey or Henley ever did Stern, pricks.

[@toddlavigne6441]

probably because they are afraid of Howard Stern calling them out on their bullshit

[@brucenlittlepictures]

Felder also referred to a young Tom Petty as this "little blonde kid who kept bugging him about guitar lessons." Haha

[@MrUltraworld]

A great guitar player and a true gentleman

[@KRT61]

Fielder has the best plastic surgeon, he looks better than he did thirty years ago.

[@eljefe2151]

It's because he had a thick beard in the 70s, he is cleanly shaven here.

[@markboland8197]

I agree, I've never masturbated my penis to the image of a man. And thats a tradition Im not about to end now, no matter how good Dan Fogleberg looks.

[@anthonydandrea2170]

The two tracks he contributed to the Heavy Metal movie soundtrack are ace. They feature in two of the best sequences in the film (the B-2 bomber intro and "stoned" alien space flight.)

[@rweghg3]

I love the title track Heavy Metal for the animated movie of the same name.. In his book he reflects back on writing & recording those tracks for that soundtrack.. I think he did both tracks in less than a week.. He also talks about it on another guitar interview, the guy was asking him about sheet music for Heavy Metal ..It is or was posted on KZbin ( I found it 2 years ago on here not sure if it's still up now or not) .. thanks for the reply.. George ;- )

[@deanmccaskill5495]

That's my favourite song ever. I love that "E" style that he does. I've ripped that whole style off my whole life him and Walsh.

[@rweghg3]

Drive it on up and let's cruise a while Leave 'em very far behind You can hedge your bet on a clean corvette To get you there right on time Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive Baby the green lights are on It's like you're runnin away on some high octane Every time she reached the boulevard Won't you take a ride, ride, ride On heavy metal.. ;- )

[@markstopchinski1042]

Very interesting how you get the other side of things from Felder. He tells a great story.

[@dwdstring]

I watched all these videos and the history of the Eagles and I come to the conclusion that Glen Frey and Don Felder can't work together and Felder took the settlement, so it's over unless Glenn takes him back into the band. Don Felder co- wrote Hotel California and gets credit for that, as far as staying a member of the Eagles "It's History" I know when I was in a band it's not easy to get along sometimes when there is all that talent, and with the Eagles there is very much money involved and that changes people and greed and anger kicks in. The Important thing is that the music is legend and the band stills performs it live, I saw them recently at the Forum in LA it was a great show, lose a few more members then it will be all gone ! Enjoy them now, the fighting will continue.

[@dlewisfl]

Saw The Eagles last night, "History of the Eagles" tour. After playing songs from first two records, Henley goes on to explain how they hired a new PRODUCER for the next album because they wanted to rock more. LOL

[@rweghg3]

07/18/1994 On a Monday 20 years ago this Month I drove with a friend a little over a 100 miles to the Omni in Atlanta to see & hear something I thought would never happen & that was going to an Eagles Concert.. No opening act just Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, Timothy B Schmit & Glenn Frey ( I wished Randy Meisner would of should of been there just for Take it to the limit, what an iconic song ) Don Henley did a lot of his solo material mixed in with his Eagles catalog & every song was word for word & note for note perfect.. Tim the same way with I can't tell you why.. Glenn's voice was the one that had changed the most.. everything 1980's up sounded awesome, Take it easy sounded like it was being sung by someone else.. & Joe Walsh was nailing just as good as Henley song after song, I mean the James Gang stuff was perfect also.. FUNK 49# WAS FUNKING AMAZING.. Then the moment that came too soon but what I had waited well over a decade for.. You can check out any time you like but you can never leave.. Felder with his double neck Gibson & Walsh with his Fender face to face & it's like the video on VH1 & now KZbin we have all seen 2 million times ( working on 3 ) Don's saying I need a wrist band as Joe yells back, hang on to that wine & you are right there & it's the best night of your life..

[@wayneo1269]

Thanks for uploading your insight is a revelation to me but makes all the sense in the world.

[@bbqbrew1]

+rweghg3 I was at that concert at the Omni as well. It was a highlight of my life. It is funny That I don't remember the Henley Solo stuff. I just remember thinking, "I have not heard some of these songs". Could they have been some of the new Eagles songs that you had not yet heard? I have a hard time believing that put anything in that concert that was not Eagles. I have really liked some of the new stuff they did.

[@stephenbruce4052]

+rweghg3 sweet

Don is definitely someone who has gotten better-looking with age.

[@gordon5004]

What a gentleman. Refreshing.

[@DesertDigger1]

Remember when, if you had an Audiovox FM converter for AM radio in your car and house stereo speakers in your back window it was state of the art and the girls loved it?

[@wayneo1269]

Great video and insight thank you for sharing everything you said makes sense.

[@Hwoodification]

Don; Much respect, you make the music really Play. "Studio Musician"? Any time, any where.... Your are the best.

[@sandy1045849]

see other posts..............absolutely luved Glenn and Don............still do an always will...all my relationships have looked like don Henley............

[@skyedge3407]

He looks really look for a 70 year old man. Better than he did in the 70's even.

[@TheNavarro6767]

Why in the world would 37 people give this interview thumbs down?

[@neathletics2439]

The last remaining friends of Messrs Frey & Henley?

[@AirComRadio]

Love this interview. Thanks

[@vinnykster]

I love the Eagles music and all. But I'll be honest. I'd be totally cool with Felder and Joe Walsh forming a whiole new band that focuses on their awesome guitars. Joe Walsh could sing. Something harder edged maybe? That would be cool. They would have a lot of fun I think in a band like that. Sort of like what Michael Anthony did with Chickenfoot with Satriani, Hagar and Chad Smith

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Omg that would be a proper band!!! I've been stealing from Walsh my whole life and I've only ( embarrassed to admit) just kind of discovered Felder in the last ten years. Holy shit what a record they could make.

[@russelljdj]

A Great Book! Great Read.

[@fivestring65ify]

Felder is one of the most underrated guitar players in rock. His sound defined the eagles, and without him, it's just not the same. Felder made the fatal mistake of not accepting the fact that the eagles was Henley and Frey's band.

[@WVdavidB]

Hey my name is Dave Rutherford!

[@104Bosco]

Leadon appeared on the first two albums. Then Felder recorded On The Border and One of these Nights, and Walsh came along from first bands James Gang and next Barnstorm, to Eagles. Roots of the Eagles....Leadon played with Doug Dillard (The Dillards) and Gene Clark (Byrds), next The Flying Burrito Brothers with Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, and (Gram Parsons 2nd Generation Byrds). Randy Meisner came from Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band. Frey and Henley were session musicians for Linda Ronstadt

[@anthonybaruch8618]

From what I remember... I thought Don actually had the coke nose when they filmed "Hotel California" live.. you could actually see him close his nose during the solo to stop the drips from coming down... never the less a great performance altogether.. Felder and Walsh were amazing together.

[@videocoop]

Sometimes humour comes from irony. . .

[@maryjanepatilano6415]

Anthony Baruch i didnt see that... I watched a video of them playing together over and over... Maybe i watched the wrong video.. Could you share the video you saw so i could check? Thats pretty interesting.

[@fallingnine9365]

Actually, Felder played slide guitar on Good Day In Hell from On The Border. One Of These Nights was the first album he was involved in from the start as he had joined mid-way through recording OTB

[@videocoop]

Just curious. . . why did this video just cut off right in the middle of the interview? That was sort of abrupt.

[@videocoop]

***** Got it. I guess I found the 2,3,4, etc. and got involved watching them and forgot to go back here and delete my question! Thanks.

[@TopJimmyWinn]

Hello from Gainesville!

[@betpow]

[@ped5906]

The Eagles are the best

[@stephenbruce4052]

I like good questions cheers Happy New YEAR xo

[@edwardbliss8931]

They say Dave Grohl is the nicest guy in music. They're all wrong. After this interview, I'm convinced Don Felder is

[@TeamMastaPr2]

Really it was On the Border the year before. First he added slide guitar to "Good Day In Hell", the band asked him to join.

[@shirleymendoza2859]

That's life, how's it. No complaints , man !

[@jennifersman]

Not quite, he played on the previous album "On the Border" but was listed as a "late arrival" there, One of These Nights was his first album as a full member of the band

[@willbrader3403]

It was a treat to get exposed to Don's personality, but watching the whole interview, felt badly that he needed to stoop as low as Stern to get exposure. Stern's asking if Felder and Walsh ever had sex was beyond vulgar. At any rate, all people have their short comings, and while any of the Eagles may have said or done things that, if they had the chance at a do-over would say or do them differently, we DO have the music that we have, and WOW about that!~ Can't wait to see what they may put together in the afterlife!~ Meanwhile, if you want to see them at what may have been their best, you can see all five of them (Tim, Glen, Don Don, and Dave) by youtube searching "Eagles New Zealand". This was in '94. Wonderfully filmed with multiple cameras and well edited too! Enjoy!~ !

[@maryjanepatilano6415]

Will Brader the video is not a good one... Its blurry at some point

[@AlaGhawas]

Totally! Can't say it better.

[@jobsgarage]

Did he really burp on the mic at 0:27?

[@rweghg3]

Felder's first album was One of These Nights. The album became the band's first album to top the charts. The album sold 4 million copies and won the band its first Grammy for "Lyin' Eyes". "Take It To The Limit" became the band's first gold single and the album was nominated for album of the year. The album would become the band's breakthrough album, transforming them to international superstars. I would have been a different Album entirely without D.F. Frey should have been a man & ..continued

[@1954telecaster]

I wonder if he still hedges his bets on clean corvettes?

[@SammyPrairiechicken]

Shit, I missed him on Rutherford...

[@robertos7392]

ingrid la mujer mas linda del mundo quedo claro

[@bradmeeks144]

You are right and Joe Walsh isn't Felder. He's not even in the same arena. Felder kicks his ass as a guitasrist and I love Joe Walsh as well. Look at the Eagles now they haven't been the same since Felder left. As a matter of fact they still live off the biggest song they ever had "Hotel California". Felder single handily wrote.You need to read a little history of felder and the people he has been associated with. He is an incredible guitarist. Very, very underated and Walsh isn't.

[@Chasstful]

Felder is awesome! Frey and Henley suck!

[@nedmemory]

Hard to believe that he's 67

[@gofyerself]

[@LiveBySoundReason]

All songs with lead vocals by Henley and Frey need to be knocked down at least a step or two (i.e., half an octave). Great songs, great singing, but very difficult for these guys to hit the notes at this point in time.

[@philsterthephilster]

Jesus how old is he? 30? He must be in his 60s and hardly looks like he made it to 40....

[@rweghg3]

Went to D.F & said, I know we have a binding legal contract for a 3 - way profit split but D.H & I have had the most commercial success since the split in 1980... We are the ones that have been waving the flag & keeping the interest alive for an Eagles reunion, therefore I think that we should renegotiate our original deal so that D.H & I receive a larger share of the profits... Instead of being a coward by dodging him then making Irving Azoff ( AKA SATAN ) deal with it by firing Felder..

[@sammys70]

Don Felder didn't replace Bernie Leadon.Joe Walsh did.

[@jleon5001]

Man artie is so loaded

[@marie-rosedaly4234]

XXX

[@cascadianpuget]

Felder's first album with the Eagles was "On The Border." Totally agree with you otherwise.

[@1954telecaster]

I like don felder but he always says THE EXACT SAME STORIES, WORD FOR WORD.

[@ItsTimeIDisappear09]

thats what happens when you dont make stories up and tell the truth.

[@1954telecaster]

ItsTimeIDisappear09 im sure he's got plenty of other stories he could tell...maybe less appropriate ones but a little variety would be nice instead of just reciting his script

[@Noosic]

Felder didn't replace Leadon dummy. He was an ADDITION. Joe Walsh replaced Leadon.

[@judy3590]

Hey Felder ------Get Over It !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sassiladieelliott3217]

Amen Judy...he's out of the band..which, btw, is still going strong. Get over it..

[@GuitarGuy05051]

? you've got joe and don so mixed up. Joe walsh learnt slide guitar from duane.

[@lotadimaculangan2483]

Don felder joe walsh the best in eagles band

[@walkerbelle]

THE BEST thing the Eagles ever did was get rid of Felder who is/was nothing but greedy and arrogant! It's my opinion as a professional musician and life long Eagles fan, the Eagles actually sounded better after Felder was ousted from the band. Don't ever be deceived in thinking Felder left, he was tossed out because the rest of the band was sick of his greed and his constant complaining, plain & simple.

[@sitizenkanemusic]

+Texas Hi-Railer I somewhat agree with what you are saying. I've been in a band for 5 years and by the 5th year, I NEEDED TO LEAVE. 5 years is a long time doing one thing. I loved and hated the guys I played with. We were brothers but we just couldn't be around each other. I'm a HUGE fan of the Eagles since I've been listening them with my dad since I was a toddler, so I read books and watched all the documentaries. There are many accounts on what happened. A lot of people blame Frey and Henley. Some people like you blame Felder. I can tell that egos get in the way with bands. I was the only person who actually got a university degree in music/piano performance/production and played bass in the band and keyboards in recordings. I knew for a fact that I knew more about music in general than my bandmates. But I never let it take over. I appreciate all contributions for everyone to critique my music (which we had to do in college with each other) or to allow me to hear what my fellow musicians hear when they hear my music. I guess Felder's ego blew up in his face to the point where he hated Glenn and vice versa. I've always liked Joe Walsh over Felder (and an interesting observation is when you hear the audience reactions back in the 70s when either Felder or Walsh played their solos- Walsh always got the louder, better reaction from the audience). So i don't know even back then (when audiences/fans were less informed on the state of the condition bands were in) if they knew what was going on internally and they were picking sides. Who knows? But yeah, I loved when Walsh, Felder, Frey, Henley and Meisner were all onstage together because they made magic, egos aside. That's another thing too- I really like Meisner's harmonies and bass playing. Apparently the other guys really liked him as well, but he left because he wanted to be with his family more often.

[@stevenhansen4345]

+Texas Hi-Railer I tought the musical input of Hotel California, was Don Felder. His instrumental input. What the greedy part ? I don't know, equal split seems to me right.

[@MrMoon-cg2yy]

+Texas Hi-Railer Frey and Henley two liberal fat-headed goof. Felder was a much better guitar player than Frey...and Frey was jealous. Frey and Henley were and are political pigs who tried to us music to brainwash there simpleton fans.

[@rweghg3]

+Texas Hi-Railer Yeah Felder was fired from The Eagles that's pretty much common knowledge & that's a big part of the reason he filed his lawsuit against his former bandmates.. Even though The Eagles was conceived & created by Glenn Frey & was his band after they started getting famous at the request of Glenn Frey & with a legal team in tow all 5 members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Don Felder, Bernie Leadon & Randy Meisner entered the office of one Irving Azoff with a legally binding contract sitting on his desk that all 5 members signed stating each member had an equal share in the band, no one with a higher percentage than the other & if any members left the band they would forfeit their shares to be distributed equally back to the remaining members and if any new members entered the line up from that day on would not be offered an equal share but would put under contract and hired as paid musicians instead ( Joe Walsh Timothy B. Schmit ) Glenn Frey disbanded The Eagles in July, 1980.. After the reunited for Hell Freezes Over Don Felder was fired February 6, 2001, from the Eagles the rest let's just agree to disagree on.....R.I.P Glenn Frey, Your music is timeless & already loved by millions of people all over the world & will continue to be by future generations to come & you Sir will be missed... Respect deserved, respect paid..
