[@jonobester5817]

Thank you for posting this. One of my heros.

Wow, what a rare find. Thank you for this interview! wow!

[@STETTRACE]

You are BAD ASS man. One of the GREATEST voices of ALL TIME!!!

Omg, we know that i have a platonic love for Don Henley

[@A_M_P_]

Why platonic?

[@K.Goldie]

I love words too , which is why I love Don Henley. He's a great lyricist !

[@adamadysz]

I like Don very much , but what he did to Felder for was me also unforgivable . Felder is absolutly fantastisk composer and gitar player .This broken my heart .

[@peteroliver7975]

He didn't do anything to Felder. Mostly that was between Frey and Felder, but Felder was the instigator

[@BoxerMom333]

@@peteroliver7975I think you’re 💯 % correct about that! I saw Felder in concert about 2 yrs ago, we just happened to get excellent seats in the second row. The guy right in front of us was talking to a guy in the band and thanking him for his ticket, they were obviously friends. The guy in the band said Felder was an egomaniac! We were sitting close enough to hear the scoop. I’ve always loved his talent but even his current band mates find him difficult.

[@bayknight20]

@@BoxerMom333 They are all like that. Felder stood up to Glen and he is considered and instigator?

[@builderman912]

@@peteroliver7975 felder was trying to make it fair, how does that make him the instigator?

[@JohnOttawa]

Henley and Frey wanted the lion's share of the money .. cutting Felder and others out. You don't DO like that !!! Henley and Frey were greedy and Felder found that out in good time. It's FELDER that catapulted the Eagles into imortality.

Brilliant interview.

@DonHenley-qw3fx yes saw you at Madison Square Garden. Amazing show. Also met you at Bruce Springsteen’s birthday party in LA another wonderful night

[@Kerrielw1]

Planning on seeing the show in Nyc on Sept 7th looking forward to it!

[@callawton9255]

I appreciate the humbleness, honesty and reality. What I don't understand is that the fans have supported the Eagles forever and the members of the Eagles have more money hat they can ever spend but the ticket prices to see them in concert are outrageous. Time to give back to the fans that have made you more than you ever thought you could or would be. Garth Brooks is a great example to follow. Just saying as I am a HUGE Eagles fan,

[@walcoman]

No words about his deviant activity involving a very young girl that cost him a giant pile of his bank balance?😮

[@shivapejman8155]

Don Henley seems like a real fun guy to hang out with😂

[@mariannegibbons624]

I am amazed at how humble Don is about his phenomenal talent. He does not have any conceit whatsoever. He is a beautiful person, inside and out. Speaking of beautiful, I could stare at his eyes for hours.

[@michaelsuder486]

He isn't humble at all

[@adamclark9004]

He's humble on camera

[@GTTg-kr2xh]

Don is very, very smart. And very serious. Some people are just naturally smart and gifted. He is very careful with his words; very reflective and doesn't like to be cut-off or overtalked. All that comes through so just imagine how he is at work.

[@mikefiorilli1348]

Don Felder had an interesting take on the conflict between the band members. When they started off, it was 5 guys contributing. Then, Henley's talent took off and he grew resentful the other guys "weren't keeping up" on the song writing. Frey was the closest in terms of song writing ability but eventually the gap between he and Henley grew and with that, the tension between those two guys escalated. Felder thought Henley just wasn't able to grasp the fact he was just that great and it wasn't really fair to expect the other guys to churn out hit after hit, as he could. Plus, Henley's basic personality was such he was challenge to get along with on a good day. Felder once said if Henley looked at his lottery ticket and realized he just won 10 million dollars, the first thing he would say is "Oh great.. wonder how much tax I'm gonna have to pay".

All though I grew up in Yorkshire (not the US bible belt), and I am an atheist, I hear so much of my own attitude and life story coming out of this Texans mouth. His lyrics are so pure and 'authentic' to use his phrase... I also say "after a fashion". When my wife says "are you ok to drive ?", I say "Yes, after a fashion"... lol ! I have lived in the US for 17 years ....

[@HarrisonGelles]

The Eagles are my favorite group and Henley is great, but Glenn Frey was the leader of the group and accomplished just as much for the Eagles. They also had great guitar players with Walsh, Leadon and Felder. A great Bass and voice in Randy Meisner and then Timothy B. Schmitt. They had two great front guys and then the perfect compliment of talents around them.

[@dskywalker3397]

Smug Don Henley. Teach Me!

Lets just face the music here, without hotel california, the eagles are just a great band. But with Hotel, they are legendary.

So do I, he couldn't handle the drums, lyrics or being second best. He also did and has a great voice. A band is more than that.

[@borntobewild9056]

@@jamesd7495 I think Don and Glenns political preferences did a lot to break up the band.....they were the only 2 who pushed it on the others...no one else in the band had a political agenda. They should have left that schitt at home.

I agree. I cannot believe what Frey and Henley did to Felder. Shameful. Felder is amazing and was not even able to be at the induction ceremony.

[@adrnor1224]

I don’t even want to look at any eagles or its members solo song and interview videos here on youtube. You always find comments bashing and praising Felder even in the most unrelated videos. No member including walsh and Schmit speak to Felder. You don’t see this much anywhere else including facebook and twitter, some seem to live through Felder and to be venting their own frustrations with life or something. Either that or Felder has a bot farm.

[@JohnOttawa]

Felder was CFO of the Eagles and Henley and Frey would not tell him how the money was being spent. In any event, Felder is a happy man being away from such ungrateful idiots like Henley and Frey (rip) .. Joe Walsh stays out of it.

Felder has like a pitiful 65,000 monthly listeners on spotify though his supporters who won’t move on would have you believe he’s huge or something. Felder needs to let go seriously, there is no lowly outlet he won’t give interviews to and no Eagles recent news he won’t address though he isn’t part of the band anymore. He even said publicly he wasn’t invited to play in the Grammys tribute to Frey as if they even considered inviting him at any point. No eagles member wants him back.
