It's Official Vince Gill Has Joined The Eagles

[@d4tier48]

Vince Gill is totally a fine addition to an already class act. He can do it all...and he's a genuine humble guy....way to go gentlemen!!!

[@WVSmokeMan]

He is perfect for the Eagles! Can't wait to hear him harmonize with the band.

[@kimwilley3769]

Just saw the Eagles in San Francisco. Vince Gill’s voice blended beautifully with the Eagles. It was a great tribute to see the talented Deacon Frey perform as well. The best show I’ve seen!

[@maisybob4264]

Love Vince Gill, love the Eagles -- I think it's a wonderful idea for both Deacon and Vince to be in the band and I'm looking forward to hearing their music! Excited!

[@bucksellers5364]

Vince gill is one of the BEST guitarist of our times !.. This will work!! ..I guarantee you! Vince has been a huge plus to everything he has ever been a part of ! PERIOD. !!!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

Keep the music alive!! Welcome to the Band Vince! A great artist I can't wait to see this new version of The Eagles........

[@rtstone2808]

It is gonna be the best yet to come in this 21st century! I believe it would have Glen's mark of approval with no prob. God bless Glen and God bless The Eagles

[@toddsmith2402]

I love this idea- what made the Eagles the Eagles were their unique voices, and Vince Gill has one of the most unique voices in music. I think this is going to work.

[@pennystark2066]

Been a fan of Vince Gill since Pure Prairie League. Saw him just a few years ago at WHPAC, a small converted movie theater in Westhampton Beach, Long Island. He was awesome and took the time to sign autographs for folks hanging around his tour bus. For me, he is the PERFECT Eaglette! After all...Eric Clapton doesn't invite you to join the Crossroads Guitar Festival if you don't have the chops! Ht did a perfect tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors. I have seen the Eagles several times, including flying down to Fla from LI for the When Hell Freezer Over Tour...where have you been? Can't wait for Vince to become a permanent member and see them on tour. For me, it wd b the next best thing to seeing Glen play again...the only thing missing would be the chemistry between Glen & Don and the boys...that will NEVER come back.

[@monettelong6954]

Everything you said about Vince was spot on. Classy, exceptional player and those vocals.....I could not have picked a better musician to join this iconic band of exceptional players my self than Vince. I am so excited to see them live!

[@douglaszolton8985]

As a guitarist for 50 some years (I'm a Old guitar player) .I actually am kind of excited to see this lineup .a TRUE SUPER GROUP.. i CAN'T BELIEVE at my age getting excited to buy a CD , or see a band again.

[@rn2585]

I cant wait to hear Tim Schmidt, Don Henly and Vince Gill sing together. THERE ARE STARS IN THE SOUTHERN SKY!

[@Rickholly74]

I saw the original four piece Eagles at the Felt Forum in NYC 1973.and I saw them on the History tour two years ago. I was hoping that Don Henley would say "Enough!" but hearing Vince Gill is going to take Glenn's place, I have changed my mind. Vince Gill is one of the best singers I have ever heard and his guitar playing is awesome (not just good awesome). This is something I would go see gladly.

[@TheBoomerPlace]

Totally awesome. The Eagles are one of my all time favorite bands. Add Vince Gills incredible guitar chops and silky smooth voice and you've got a great mix. 👌🏻👍

[@matthewdagnan3396]

You aren't getting the "Eagles" That's the bullshit of this. Henley left 3 members, 2 of the original 4 out of this lineup. Its bullshit

[@genreliffic9894]

Well good thing it aint ur decision, stick in the mudd....

[@matthewdagnan3396]

Stick in the mud? This is the entertainment industry fucker. Believe it or not, what the fans think is just a little important. Whatever, just helps me save a few hundred dollars on my concert choices for the next year

[@uncleelmer]

I disagree. This is a fan based decision to bring Gill on board because he adds a solid country dimension to their sound.. I think they are going to do a country rock record because the arrival of Gill is not some random event. It has meaning.

[@matthewdagnan3396]

My take, yet as our esteemed colleague Newberry would state doesn't matter one shit, Gill is a genius selection, money maker, bring a massive fan base to off set the Eagles purists such as myself. As well as fantastic vocalist and musician. However, hard core Eagles fans have been hoping for a united band and the true sound to finally come together again. These fuckers are old and will all be dead soon. It would have been amazing to see but Henley hijacked the band with Frey years ago, fucked over members and took control. It's about what Henley wants. His way or the highway. I'm sure they will sound good but different with Gill. Not what countless fans wanted but the money will Balance out with Gills fan base and fans that only care about the songs not the sound

[@2koolaree]

Just saw the Eagles in Edmonton! Vince was amazing and his voice blended beautifully! Been a fan of Vince since Pure Prairie League! Sold out in Edmonton and truly, was the best show I’ve ever seen.

[@melindabarrios9253]

2koolaree I'm seeing them in LA at the Forum this September. I am so excited!🎼🎵🎸🥁🎹🎺🎶

[@shunlvswx]

I'm a huge Vince Gill fan. I've been listening to his music since I was 14. I saw him in concert for the first time in 2005. He is soo great in concert. I myself like that Vince is part of the Eagles. I think he's going to bring something to the band. Yes he's mostly a country singer, but Vince has played with rock legends. He sang with Joe(now I can't wait to see Joe and Vince played together on stage), James Taylor, Eric Clapton and probably many other rock artists. Vince can definitely rock and I totally forgot about that. Vince is one of the most respected artist in country music. Everybody wants him to either sing or play on their record. That tells you something. They also called him a triple threat. A singer, songwriter and musician. I always hear that triple threat. Also Vince has sung with Don, Joe and Timothy before this(I don't think he has ever sang with Glenn). He sang backup on I think 4 songs on Don's Cass County album(I love No, Thank You and Vince blended very well with Don on that song), Timothy sang backup on I Can't Tell You Why when Vince took part in the Common Thread album back in the 90s, and Vince sang with Joe last year in Nashville on Take It To The Limit(I really hope Vince sings this song because this is definitely in his vocal range). Plus he and Joe played on stage a few times. So I think its going to work out when it comes to blending and harmonizing. Vince is known for his great harmony when he sings with other people. Also people don't know is Vince was almost part of Dire Straits. He would had played rock then, but of course Vince turned Mark down so he can focus on his solo career which at that moment in the 80s was not going well. He didn't make it big until When I Call Your Name album. That's when people started to notice him. I've never seen the Eagles in concert. I saw Don twice for the first time early this year and I saw Joe last year in Memphis. I enjoyed both of these guys. I actually said in 2015, when Glenn gets better, I'm going to make sure I see them because at that moment Glenn would bounce back and they will be back on the road either that spring or summer. Boy was I wrong and still to this day, I'm kicking myself for making the effort to see them in either Memphis, New Orleans or Birmingham. I know some people want this to fail, but I'm cheering them on to succeed. I'm looking forward to this. I definitely would love to see them in concert when they decided to tour(which I think they would). I don't know if Glenn would had approved or not approved this, but I think he would. IMO If Cindy is ok with the guys continuing on, then that's all that matters. I don't think they would had continued if Cindy didn't approved. Good luck to Vince and Deacon too.

[@820hurleyj]

I'm a huge Eagles fan and when Glen died I thought for sure, they're through. I thought no one could replace him and still have that Eagles sound. I'd never dreamed Vince Gil would join them. I haven't heard them together but he's a perfect fit. Like Joe Walsh, I hope he stays.

[@geedavey66]

What a great addition to an already great band! I don't think people realize what a great guitarist Vince is....he can flat out play😃

[@mapp4751]

I am not a country fan but Vince Gill is a very talented musician and i am sure he will meld nicely with the remaining Eagles!

[@clarkewi]

Great addition. There will be phenomenal shows. A new chapter for the Eagles. Can't wait to hear what they create.

[@dennygerard7417]

This will be a GREAT new Eagles. Deacon Frey will be a great authentic member but Vince Gill will allow the Eagles to soar to new heights! It will be amazing, can't wait to hear it!

[@missnoname9704]

I love Vince! I saw him once back in the early 90's at a very small amusement park in WV called Camden Park. Admission was $1. I could've hung around & met him but had to get to work for midnight shift. Also that same summer saw Steve Wariner & Garth Brooks. For $1.00!!!! True story!!! Oh my gosh John!!! So sorry you never got to see the Eagles live. I saw them 6 or 7 times in the 90's both with & after Felder. I preferred with. He & Joe were simply magic together!!! Sure hope they tour again! Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for your great channel.

[@douglaszolton8985]

CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE EVER BETTER TO be in the EAGLES. . He is one of the best guitarist's on the planet. One of the best vocalists on the planet. As far as I've ever seen or heard of ,one of the most genuine and kindest hearted people ,one will ever meet. He is precision personified. The EAGLES will be nicer and still be country rock as well as one of the best shredding bands on the planet, with Joe Walsh ,and Vince Gill on guitars. There will be nothing they cannot play ,and extremely well. These guy's will be killers live and in the studio. .I will see them any time they play near my home state. iF THE PRICES ARE NOT TO HIGH. They will be a legendary band again. P.S. Felder would be great to have one of the real Eagles back with them in the long run.

[@socialbutterfly7317]

I ❤ Vince Gill. Gonna be good with The Eagles.

[@metaltrekman]

I think this IS a good idea. Ive always loved the Eagles and I do like Vince Gill's music. I would be happy if the Eagles Do carry on and continue making music together. I dont mind nes singers/players coming in. As long as the music lives on and is good, Im all for it. Look at Skynyrd, , Journey, Kiss, Styx, Sabbath, Foreigner, and so many others. New members but the music is still great. And the important part is they continue on.

[@artgillespie162]

I think it is awesome. Vince Gill is one of the classiest and most talented persons on the planet. The Eagles are my favorite all time band. And I think Vince will be a major asset addition. People think he is only "country". But those people don't really know Vince Gill. And for those prejudice anti country snobs out there who don't realize the talent that Vince has and that he will add to the band, The Eagles is actually a country rock band. Their hits and albums have hit high on country charts. This addition puts a smile on my face. I am a professional mucision and think the Eagles will have a great addition. Can't wait to see them in concert.

[@proteamflorida4754]

I still think of Timothy B Schmidt as a Poco guy and Joe Walsh as just Joe Walsh! Eagles have always welcomed other guys in to the fold. LOVE Vince Gill and all the others so, carry on, (CSNY reference there) Great move Wasn't Timothy B Schmidt a Coral Reefer for a while? It's all good country, Southern 70's rock come forward 40 years!.

[@socialbutterfly7317]

Vince Gill & The Eagles....hum...take it easy. Gotta see them together in concert first. .so bring it on!

[@kln58cub]

Social Butterfly He was part of Pure Prarie League

[@7thstreetloft109]

Pitch perfect tenor voice to cover the high harmonies for the Eagles. YES!!!

[@peterm4486]

love it...keep that awesome music alive!

[@butlerbMMO]

When Vince Gill was being rumored for a spot in the lineup, I hoped like hell it would happen! He's still got good vocal chops, the dude can rock out and play guitar, I mean what more can Don Henley want? He's perfect. I don't think they could have picked anyone better. But do I still wish Don Felder would get back into the fold? Hell yeah!

[@joypatterson1794]

Vince Gill has a very unique sound that will blend well with the Eagles. I am in for the concert. And his musical talent is endless.

[@Chetallica]

Amazing guitarist, great voice, will be a good fit indeed.

[@JCRyan534]

I like this addition. He's a great guitar player but also a great voice!! I look forward to seeing how this turns out. Deacon will have lots of mentors.

[@bobcannell9007]

Deacon will have memories of a lifetime.

[@chrisgriffin5179]

Vince Gill was a lead singer in "The Pure Prairie League," before he got into the Country scene, They are friends, and Vince will be great, and respect the Eagles music... He sang " I can't tell you why" for their Tribute Album... Vince has been in music since the late 60's, and one of a few Chet Atkins certified guitar players... I think he'll be great...

[@GBPLVR]

Chris Griffin, I agree! I remember a minor hit Vince did lead on while with Pure Prairie League and it was a great song. KZbin clip on Dick Clark's American Bandstand with Vince in PPL.

[@jessiejane3392]

i loved the original eagles act and love vince gill as well. just hope it doesn't detract from his solo work. that being said i think they will mesh fine. newer groups are doing it all the time and no one is upset.

[@donnlowe9129]

I think the people that are critical of Vince Gill are the ones that really don't know him and his abilities. Vince is a phenomenal guitarist and has a tremendous voice. I think he'll be a good fit.

[@shunlvswx]

I so agree, Don. I've been a fan of Vince's music since I was 14. Vince can blend well with anybody. Vince has sung with Don, Timothy and Joe. Its going to be interesting to hear how all five of them sound together. I wonder if both Vince and Timothy will be doing the high parts. Probably will. And Vince plays a killer guitar. I think both Vince and Deacon will do a great job. There's a reason Don picked Vince. He wouldn't just pick anybody. Him or Glenn.

[@gkorenek]

I think this is a "win" for the Eagles and a "win" for Vince Gill. Best wishes to both!

[@skipperrussell2025]

Love country and I love rock. Marriage made in heaven.

[@sweetbushstudiochannel4606]

Maybe people have forgotten that Vince Gill was a member of Pure Prairie League, I think he'll fit right in

[@tomhill5594]

If anyone can replace Glenn Frey, it certainly would be Vince Gill. He complements the rest of the band beautifully.

[@southerncustomgraphics4167]

It's a perfect fit. Perfect timing and everything

[@birdsadventuresinwoodandmusic]

I guess Henley finally owns the key to Fort Knox now. All pros and cons aside, if the egos can co-exist, it should be a great band and they certainly have some great material to cover.

[@caledon66]

sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. this is one of those times when I believe it's going to work beautifully.

[@deniserobertson8182]

I cant wait to hear all of them !!!!!

[@deanransom2350]

Hard to envision a better choice. Great vocalist, as good a guitar player as they come. This is no brainer natural choice.

[@cameronmunn4426]

Dean Ransom honestly, I wish Felder would come back and play guitar, granted Vince Gill is a great guitarist, you can't get much better than Felder.

[@cameronmunn4426]

Ron Garvin I think that would sooth a lot of the anger coming from all the people saying that the band should have never reunited after Glenn died, saying "it was always Glenn's band". That's just not accurate, Glenn and Don both founded the band, and quite honestly I'm sure that Glenn would want the band to go on if he wasn't there. But I agree, the band would be a lot better off I think if they had Walsh, Henley, Schmidt, Meisner, Felder and Leadon back.

[@lunastrat]

I'm one of those people, I've never been a huge country fan, but I love Vince, and as a guitar player myself, I have loads of respect for his playing. People frequently forget that a lot of country players a just monsters. Even Glen Campbell from back in the day, he was an incredible player.

[@kevinbutler9434]

I like the Idea of Vince Gill joining The Eagles. I do believe we will get a US tour after these Classic Shows in the Fall with the Eagles.

[@dirtwfox]

I am a musician and fan of the Eagles and I say they could search the world over and not find a better guy or musician to add as a member of such a stellar group.

[@jlcougilljr]

i can see this happening and Henley is smart enough as a talent and business man to know how great of a songwriter Gill is and if the chemistry is there they could pull off some great new material especially as it seams the well has cried up just a little for the Eagles. personally after Glen's death i wondered how long it would take Henley to try to buy Glenn's share in the business but this is a welcomed surprise and i'll give it a chance just for the music's sake:)

[@warri0rs0ul]

Vince rocked with The Pure Prairie League, so it can definitely work.

[@70jwm]

Vince gill was in pure prairie league long before he was a country artist. He was playing in the same circuit as the eagles over 30 years ago. I guess a lot of people don't know that

[@richardjernigan6852]

I was aware of Vince's 'Pure Praire League'. I have to wonder if their song: Amy (whatcha gonna do?) was about Amy Grant way back when? Did they know one another way back when or just a coincidence?

[@markbeall469]

thanks

[@robertsettle2590]

[@randallwilfordweaver810]

I'm glad to see Vince Gill as part of the Eagles it's a dream come true for any Musician to play with bands like the Eagles or Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@davedwyer4878]

YEEEHHAAAAAH ! What are those "Cowgirls" gonna do at these Shows ? Can't wait to here it.......and God Bless and RIP the master Glenn. Go Vince, and do us PROUD :)

[@billh.5737]

Observations - 1) Henley's last solo album (Cass County) was very country, so he was already leaning in that direction. 2) It would be a fitting tribute if the sadness of Glen's untimely passing allowed egos to be put aside and former band members (Leadon, Felder and Meisner) could join in for a set or two. 3) While several postings refer to Vince's time in Pure Prairie League, he was not the original lead singer when the band released its breakthrough album "Bustin Loose". He will be great because he's an incredible musician/singer and the nicest guy in the business.

[@toricervini7565]

been blessed to see them three times live while Glen was still with us. No offense at all to Vince Gill, but it just won't ever be the same for me again.

[@amethystphoenix264]

[@jato1956]

[@johncasey6039]

Awesome, the music go's on.

[@helendicks1372]

Love this idea!!

[@stanleythomas1636]

I agree Vince Gill will make a great addition to the Eagles

[@danielcrowe8110]

This was definitely unexpected (by myself) but he will be an addition to the excitement of attending an Eagles concert. I hope this amassment of talent will be able to set aside their combined egos because when you have that amount of talent on a single stage, infighting can become an issue. Great choice, but how long shall it last?

[@wishbonegep]

This should be another rebirth for the Eagles. A touch of Glenn Frey still present through his son Deacon and the one and only Vince Gill. Vince is no stranger to being part of a group for becoming a solo artist he was front-man for the great Pure Prairie League many years ago. Vince is all about making music regardless if he is the front-man or just sitting in the background adding to the cause. This isn't the first adjustment for the Eagles considering they have had three or four major member changes over their musical "Long Run". I'm anxious to hear the new sound and hope that Vince will stay with the group for future recordings...... To me the Eagles are America's reply to the one and only British Invasion Band, the Beatles...... The Eagles sore once again!!!!!!!!

[@douglaszolton8985]

G.P. spelt : soar.

[@jimwallace8660]

They were never able to replace the vocals of Randy Meisner and the way they treated him and the other two ex eagles and only because of hotheaded Glenn Frey who singlehandedly disrupted the one and only top band of the century. He made them perform at political fundraisers and of course, being from Michigan and living in California he was definitely an autocratic liberal. Too bad Don Henley was just as bad as they were more interested in total ownership of the name and all that went with it. Randy stayed as much out of the frey (excuse the pun) and never bad mouthed them even though he along with Bernie Leadon were the original band members who together simply became non-existent. After Randy was let go because of a fight with Frey over not wanting to sing'Take it to the limit"as his throat was not up to par for such a hard set of notes to hit each night. Just as Don Felder made a statement about a public official who was important to Frey and was asked to support Cransto when he was thanking the members and Don said "You're welcome, I guess!" Big enough deal for hard headed Frey to want to fight with him. The two of them ended up with exactly what they wanted total ownership of the Eagles. I only wish more true eagle fans knew the real Eagles band.

[@mdvs42]

I think personally that Vince Gill would b a perfect fit for the Eagles, he is a superb musician and will add his own touch if allowed.

[@amberrose9705]

Vince Gill is going to be amazing with them

[@robbchastain3036]

A bit shocked when I saw your headline, John, certainly surprised as who saw this coming, but upon reflection, sure, this works--the band is voices as much as it guitars, and Vince brings both and song power, too. And surely Don doesn't want to sing lead on every song, tho' I hope he does tape the show and maybe sells some merchandise afterwards so the band can get to their next gig.

[@guymerritt4860]

Glenn Frey is an icon and he conceived the Eagles - but I love the Eagles and I love Vince Gill. I think Frey would approve. As stated in this video, it's a different Eagles. But this music is too good to not be performed for people when most of the members are still healthy. I wish all of the well - this will be welcome news to the vast majority of fans.

[@rogermishler8794]

One up side to Vince being in the band is maybe they'll finally start doing some of the great earlier Bernie Leadon stuff; He could totally pull it off.

[@Spence12]

I just learned tonight that Vince Gill WAS Pure Prairie League in the 70s. (I was converting an old thrift store LP to CD and read the song credits.) I never realized the connection! Well, I dare say that Pure Prairie League fit into the same song style as the Eagles. A far more likely replacement than Joe Walsh ever was, although he proved himself.

[@TheBravegeneration]

great addition! Vince Gill is an awesome guitarist and will be excellent harmonizing too some powerful Eagles music!

[@j.w.sayles674]

Spectacular fit with Vince. Can't wait to here is High part renditions. Nothing away from son Frey, but a good long haul with Gill and Frey Jr learning the ropes. I saw the 2001/2002 IOWA STATE University concert at the Barn !!!!!!! All the boys with Walsh made me wish I had copped some pot for this 65 year old grandpa!!! GOLLLLLLLLLDEN! Live on Eagles harmony

[@ronelwell1479]

Don't forget Vince Gill was once in Pure Prairie League

[@clubredken13]

I think it's great. Vince Gill is solid. They might not have too many years left anyway to play, so let's see them with someone new. And you could argue Joe Walsh and Tim Schmidt aren't original members but everybody accepts them. I just hope Vince doesn't do too much damage to the hotel rooms. Now that Joe has been sober for almost 30 years, he can room with the new guy Vince and make sure he behaves

[@hugq14]

clubredken Well, Joe Walsh might not be an original member but he's been an Eagle since Hotel California (77')!

[@iMatagora]

clubredken I love Vince Gill and think he will not only do the past songs justice, but also be able to contribute to anything new. As far as Joe and Tim not being original members, I don't think it bears much weight - just look at how the last original member was treated... Bring back Don Felder please.

[@michaelseay9783]

iMatagora Don Felder was not an original member either. It was only four: Frey, Henley, Leadon, and Miesner.

[@tomconway5684]

I Like it. Vince is certainly a better singer than anyone in the band.

[@geespar1]

When you combine talent with talent you are only going to get one result, high quality music. Comparisons are a waste of time, the great Glenn Frey has gone, so it will be a different dynamic, but quality is assured, whether it is your 'cup of tea' or not. Give this new 'combo' a chance, you might like it for what it is

[@takehomeahottie]

I agree!!! Vince Gill is a class act and will be a GREAT Eagle!!!

[@deanadams7563]

I really love the eagles I do wish that Henley and Felder could just make amends I mean come on it's been 16 years now I mean honestly it would be a great idea to have Vince Gill Joe Walsh and Don Felder three amazing guitar players two of them more rock one more country is just perfect for the Eagles

[@uncleelmer]

This is a great decision and very smart by going back to their country roots which expands their range by being stronger in country (which they had become weak in) and yet keeping the rock in their range.

[@uncleelmer]

LA News on March 17th reported that Randy Mesiner, Bernie Leadon and Don Felder will also be part of the East Coast and West Coast Shows.

[@uncleelmer]

Ha ha...I get it. Thanks for the response. I think Don Henley is right in bringing back the old guard--Felder and Meisner and Bernie--they are all getting older so let's make music while we can. I like the choice of Vince Gill because he gives the band country credibility with his country chops and he is not coming cheap. I would bet that Gill is getting way way more than a journeyman guitarist. I would be willing to be that if Gill is on board the Eagles will make a country rock record and drift away from their "rocker sound" to a more country sound. Just my 2 cents.

[@dougadoo1976]

Hey brother They ain't the same without glenn Frey BUT ya know that little filipino ain't Steve Perry either and they still Rock so let's just all settle down and enjoy the Eagles as they are because they still ROCK !!!!!!

[@gildavis8266]

The only real para dime in life, as we know it, is that things change. In the Eagles it's important that the band can do all the older music be the same wonderful standard that we are use to. As for the future; Their new music will be judged on it's merit and inalienability. Frankly, I'm looking forward to the next set of great hits....so get busy!

[@cg505able]

OMG this is the best thing ever! Screw the nay sayers! Vince is a great addition! He is honorable!

[@songsfromspringcreekave821]

The only down side to this is that Glen Frey is gone. There is no better choice than Vince Gill, none.

[@SuperGrayeagle]

Thumbs up!

[@janetlauer8382]

[@shawnlangford1132]

[@josephwazocha140]

Gill will never be more then a hired hand, Deacon will only be an Eagle because he has his father's last name and His mother owns 33.33% of the Eagles.

[@randelltuttle143]

How could anyone NOT think it's a GREAT idea? I think it's the best addition in history. I'm sure if asked Jackson Browne would have taken the position but he's more of a spare these days than anything. Vince Gill is a big shot and the Eagles are big shots. Put them both together and you have one hack of a lot of big shots.

[@ezwriter101]

Vince Gill was TERRIFIC at the Classic West. He's a consummate musician and when he was on the stage, he blended in, played the music and merged seamlessly with the group. He was, AN EAGLE. Definitely, this guy is ALL talent. Vince Gill is a solid guitarist and singer, and as a result, he keeps his ego in check. It's why his addition to this esteemed band worked so well. Those going to the Classic East are in for a real treat.

[@mearkitek3773]

Vince will fit like a glove with the remaining Eagles; he's perfect. And it was Frey who booted Felder, and Glen got more and more egotistical.

[@rayraymond2952]

I have to say that Vince Gill joining the Eagles could not have been a better selection. Gill is one of the best musicians (guitar, vocals, song composition) on the planet. The Eagles will now be the Eagles continuing onward. No one lives forever. RIP, Glenn. We miss you dearly. Vince will do your memory & legacy a fitting & respectful continuation. God, bless them all. :) Richard
