My great grandfather passed away this year. He was a B-17 Engineer and flew over 37 missions over Europe. He was the man that knew the plane better than anyone on it. After service, he worked for Boeing for 40 years and was the Superintendent and manufacturer of some the planes you may have flown on. He must have had a great crew.. He was a great man. And he's flying again.

When I was at Univ. of Florida in the late 70's, I dated a girl that was a next door neighbor of the Petty's in Gainesville. Tom was already on his way in L.A. with The Heartbreakers, but I used to wave to his Dad when he was mowing the lawn. The song sounds like late Eagles music period, but I'm sure Don Felder learned a couple of things from Joe Walsh on slide also. It sounds just like him. Felder taught guitar at the music store near my apartment, but I never met him. He was on the yellow brick to stardom. Great friggin' tune that I first heard in the movie theater. I bought the album for the great music on it. Great adult cartoon film also. There weren't too many back then. It's got California sound with fast cars, cocaine, glitz, glamour, and beautiful girls all over it in its kick butt sound. Lots of guitars. I'm glad Felder is still with us.

After hearing him play this, I had no idea his guitar work was so signature (and saturated) with the eagles. Hell, he IS the Hotel CA album almost exclusively!! I think Joe Walsh's best work was The Confessor.....a noted difference between him and Felder, but Joe kicks ass on the Confessor, and if I recall correctly, it was Joe that wanted the band to hire Felder in the first place, because he was so awesome, and Joe could goof off a lot more.

[@bmphil3400]

I think Frey's ego got way way too big and Felder didn't want the constant barage of crap.

[@tomthebomb557]

That was because Glen Frey was boot licking douchebag sucking up to a lousy politician...but you are right...The Eagles fucked up there.

[@firewfire]

@Red Coal You are correct here. These idiots dont know shit. Felder was a really good guitarist but only a "good" singer. Henley and Frey were and are great singers. They had Walsh and didnt need felder if he wanted too much. That said, I still think the best lineup included him on guitar as well. But he just wasnt as valuable to the band. Thats why we have the Victim of Love we have today which im thankful for... felders version is shit compared to the Eagles version (which had him as his proper place playing guitar, not singing) Felder still kicks ass but was overshadowed by Henley Frey and Walsh.

I saw this moving in the Drive In theater in Pueblo Co back in 81. My friend and I rode our motorcycles there from Farmington, NM to visit his awesome cousins. It was a 6-hour ride and took us over two mountain passes to get there. OH, and did I tell you I was 15 and he was 16? Yeah, teenagers have NO CLUE what it's like to actually "grow. up." now days. Many years later, When I learned this movie was going to be on sale "next Tuesday" on DVD, I purchased it. I didn't even own a DVD player at the time, though. I still have the movie, and have been through a several DVD players since then. I pop it in once in a while an reminisce. I started high school in 1979. I graduated college in 1989. The entire decade of the 80's was, for me, school, cars, girls, friends, video games, pinball, MTV, and scrounging for money. My son was born in December, 1988. He is now 31; I'm 54 and looking to retire in about 5 years with a 35 year career as an electrical engineer. I am sad that my son never did, and could never have lived the amazing life I did as a teenager. It was just a way different world back then. We had to grow up early. No after early school programs, after school programs, daycare, "helicopter parenting". When I turned 7, my brother 6, my mom entered the work force, and we would never have her be a "stay at home mom" again. No regrets, though. We were the quintessential "latch-key kids". We'd get home from school, make a sandwich and ramen noodles, watch some cartoons, get the call from mom at about 4:00 +/- a minute or two. And from the time we hung up the phone until she walked in the door at about 5:00, A LOT OF LIFE happened. . . . A LOT OF LIFE. . . . I became VERY independent, able to do my own thing, and hardly think twice about it. That alone has served me well in life. I depend VORACIOUSLY on myself and my skills as a professional. . . . . Young people today simply haven't a clue how ot live like that. HEY! Thanks for reading all this. It's late Christmas eve, I was contemplating life, played this video, and started writing. All my best to you!

Totally relate. Lived a lot, really fast. On my own for most of the time. I came and went from the back door, Dad in and out of the front. Walked home from school.

I remember my Uncle John, a Lt., Navigator/Bombardier, stationed in Tunisia during WWII. Went into the Army Air Corp, innocent, young and the nicest gent in the world according to my Mother. A brilliant man with a photographic memory, was involved in many missions to bomb Europe, Romanian oil fields, etc.. He volunteered for more sorties than required. I remember sitting in the living room listening to him at Christmas time in the 70's, after a few too many, he opened up about his experiences. On numerous different occasions his crews were shot to hell up there, blood from his buddies running down the fuselage. He flew the plane home more than once, all alone. He memorized the way in, compass all shot up, led planes out after dropping. He just couldn't shake the war. After the war, according to Mom, he returned home a changed man. A raging alcoholic, would wake up in Grandmas house having night sweats and screaming. His life went to shit, tried marriage and kids, ended with divorce and kids were neglected. Really fucked up. This cartoon showed exactly what he went through, every sortie of his tour. This poor hero. RIP John

Best Sound Track , and it is a collection of bands from many "Rock albums" though some songs were first for the movie. There can't really be a best rock album for 1981 , there are so many. -Holy Diver, Too Fast for Love, Don't Say No. , Mob Rules,Diary of a Mad Man . Point of Entry, Killers, , High and Dry, For Those About To Rock, Moving Pictures, etc. was a good year for ROCK

[@rodgersmith1573]

@@ilhamb.s.a9564 I'm trying to figure this out myself. I 'believe' it may simply be called "Heavy Metal". Would like to watch it, though, if anybody knows for certain.

[@governorofthedeathstar1680]

Ilham B.S.A ...this sequence is called, B17.... the name of the movie is Heavy Metal which was released in 1981. This is one of my favorite all time films.

[@HeyMykee]

It's not that the 5th Element drew from the Heavy Metal movie, rather they both were adapted from the same source - an ongoing story running in Metal Hurlant, which was a European comics magazine that spawned the American magazine called Heavy Metal. Metal Hurlant was a large format, slick magazine featuring 'adult' graphic novel-style comic stories, fully painted by some great artists (and some not so great). An American publisher bought rights to create an American version of it called Heavy Metal (which is what Metal Hurlant means in French), and ran a mix of new stories and translated reprints from the French magazine (I believe - not entirely sure on that last part). I believe the story that spawned part of the Heavy Metal movie and The 5th Element was done by a writer named Alejandro Jodorowsky (pronounced like "Yoda-Rofski") - I believe it was the Incal storyline, I'm not sure, he had several, some drawn by famed French artist Moebius. And it also spawned the recent movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - it's set in the same universe as The 5th Element. This is really a fascinating story. You should look into the history of Jodorowski's involvement in the movie Dune. He had worked up a really elaborate idea for it that he presented to American movie studios, and none of them took him up on it (he wanted to direct as well as write), but apparently a lot of his ideas were taken and used in many different projects, including Star Wars. Here, here's a short video and an article about it - I know I saw a much longer video somewhere, I;ll see if I can find that. Here's the short one though: www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/q-a-jodorowskys-dune-explores-690348 Ok, here's a good long explanation of it - I think this is what I was thinking of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ64nYGNg9tlbs0 Also this one, about how The 5th Element was adapted from The Incal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjVoGeZf7dnfJY

You do realize Mobius influenced this movie greatly as well as The 5th element, Blade Runner and I’m sure many, many countless others I’m forgetting

[@CPorter]

Not only did they get the interior of a b-17 flying fortress spot on, but they also got how gruesome flights like those could be spot on too

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

The only thing they got wrong was the night bombing aspect. IIRC the vast majority of B-17 raids were made in daylight. I agree that it adds to the atmosphere, and the B-17 is probably much more recognizable to most of the intended audience than a British night bomber like the Lancaster, but it's just that one little detail that spoils perfection.

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

No door to the cockpit on a 17. Their Flight engineer seems to be missing as well. The gore is spot on, unfortunately.
