Don Felder's ability on the guitar is what took the Eagles from being a good band to be being a great band. When the Henley and Frey egos grew out of control, they decided to push Felder away and ended up screwing his eyes out. Don Felder is a brilliant guitarist and a first class individual.

Don Felder really knows his stuff. Impressive explanation of the technical aspects of recording process yet understandable. Don Felder was that addition to the Eagles that brought them from country rock to arena rock. Randy Meisner was such a brilliant bass player but his harmony vocals were a key aspect of the Eagles success that often gets overlooked. Really nice of Don Felder to talk of Randy's high harmony vocals on the Eagles records.

Randy’s lead vocals on “Take it to the Limit “ is still my favorite Eagles song. I noticed you didn’t mention the early contribution of Bernie Leadon. His multi instrumental expertise was key to the first few albums. The banjo 🪕 parts on “Desperado” and the Reprise of “Doolin’ Dalton/ Desperado “ are superbly done. I love to play Doolin’ Dalton followed by Desperado followed by the Reprise when listening to those songs. The lyric on the reprise of “The queen of diamonds let you down, she was just an empty fable” is such a cool lyric. Doolin’Dalton instrumental is also a fantastic showcase of Bernie’s talent.

Don Felder was responsible for the interesting parts of One of These Nights, and he created their biggest song Hotel California (also their biggest selling album) . If not for Felder they would have been just another forgotten 1970s band with a few hit singles. He could have made the Eagles relevant well into the 1990s , but drama won out , and egos took priority over music

Steuart Smith is a very good guitar player and a terrific guy, but out of his own mouth came these words, " I AM NOT AN EAGLE!". But if I want to see Steuart Smith play guitar, then I have to pay an Eagles price to see him! Logically speaking, why would anyone in their right mind do that? It's wrong on so many levels. I want to see the real one, not some impressionist. Henley is ripping people off these days. None of the people on that stage with Henley today had much( Joe Walsh a little,Schmitt almost nothing) to do with the Eagles establishing their greatness. With the exception of Glenn Frey, they are all still alive. Those are the Eagles! Not Don Henley and the Yes Men. So Henley put the real Eagles back together and stop being so petty and childish like a high school cheerleader captain! It's most annoying to us true, lifelong Eagles fans! Also Mr. Henley, in regards to your former bandmates please stop equivocating! Stop saying that their solo careers don't measure up to yours so they don't get to be in the group. We're not talking about solo careers, they have nothing to do with it, we're talking about the Eagles!

Stuart Smith play just doesn’t have that mojo that Felder has, it sounds a lil bit robotic. Felder’s play has that sound that is wholesome with heart and soul that comes out of his lead guitar play. Felder is one of the best guitarists worldwide. Eagles became a true rock band when he joined them.

I hope Don continues to enjoy the perfect balance in his life. Rock on, Don!

It's too bad the world didn't get to hear Chuck Newcomb, the bassist and vocalist from the Flow album. I heard them play at the same frat houses at Univ Fla that we all rotated through. Chuck was a world class player and a good friend. I'd heard they flew him out to LA, but they didn't pick him up. I suppose it was because he was very much a front man, and maybe that was part of the reason. Gainesville was spilling over with great players in the early 70's, and many of them made it, some did not. I'd heard Chuck ended up behind the desk at a motel, then I lost track of him. It's really a shame.

A lovely person. And such an icon. How does he keep so young though? I'm around 20 years younger, but next to each other, I'd look like his uncle! Don has always had great technique and he cites Elvis Presely, Chet Atkins and even Jimmy Page as influences, even though he was a contemporary of Page... Such a self effacing, intellectual, with a keen understanding of the technology available, then and now. And his musicianship is consummate and moving. One of my top all time favourite guitarists of all time. What I've always loved about Don is his infectious smile, especially when he's playing, something that couldn't have been easy at times, given the wrangling that went on, even before Don joined The Eagles.... . I am a firm believer in social chemistry. And all the iconic bands that have made platinum sucess, owe their fame to that chemistry that binds the members together. Thus, when I watched (a couple of hours ago...) half of the HoF Tribute to The Eagles, I was both dumbfounded and disgusted that they deliberately edited out any sequences where Don was playing on the video footage. Equally - the compare - Linda Ronstadt, deliberately left out any mention of Don , Randy or other members that had once swelled the ranks of the band. So pathetic and immature. I thumbs downed the upload and joined the majority ranks who all felt as disgusted and dismayed as myself. . People know what turns them on in the night.... When the full moon is calling and the wicked wind whispers and moans.... . The Eagles became top echelon, after the release of Hotel California. But before Don joined the band, they were simply yet another 'Country Rock and R&B band'. Oh yes, they had the harmonies and the presence, but it was Don that gave that extra modicum of quality to their songs. Without his guitar, the band were mediocre at best. Alright if you're an American cowboy driving across the Sierra Nevada in your flat-bed Chevy.... But again, it is the sum of the constituent players and writers that gel to make a top echelon band and Don has never forgotten that.
