Vince Gill is one of my favorite people on the planet. Always seems humble and respectful. And fun, too.

[@byronmerritt3507]

I met Vince in 15 and became fairly well acquainted with him. My wife died in October 2016 and I was at the opry in December. Vince knew I was in the audience and dedicated “go rest high” to me and my late wife. What a guy!

[@janeames1513]

Vince is a real stand up kinda guy...after all he is human and has emotions just like the rest of us ....i think my favorite tribute of his is go rest high on that mountain at George Jones' service..he just loses it and that shows the true spirit of the man

I saw Vince with the Eagles in Feb 2023. I’ve seen the Eagles, 3 times prior with Glen Frey. My seats were closer to Vince than any other member on this particular night. He was on fire. Having a ball. Vocally fit the songs perfectly. I’m so thankful there are down to earth musicians like Vince out there.

[@Jman-ef6fc]

Vince Gill is a class act. A great singer and musician in his own right. Of course he can't sound like Glenn Frey did but Glenn couldn't have sounded like Vince either. I'm just happy that he is helping keep the Eagles great music alive.

I love Vince’s humble nature in knowing that he isn’t Glenn and that he himself doesn’t want to sing “new kid in town” but that he wants to do his part in “keeping this thing rolling.” I love that statement because without talented musicians like Vince, music like The Eagles would someday never be performed again. Keep the music we love alive!

Vince, I have been a huge Eagles fan since 1974 and have seen them 11 times and Henley solo once. When I heard you were joining the Eagles I wasn’t familiar with your work too much. I must say I am very pleased that you joined and once again Don’s instincts were 100% spot on. You are humble and appreciative of the opportunity and I am so glad you have enjoyed the success. I also love you and Amy as a couple. In this day and age of turmoil in relatIonships you two are a great role model of what can be.

I went to see the Eagles (with Vince Gill) at Reunion Arena in Dallas several years ago. Being from Oklahoma and a country connoisseur, I've always been a big Vince Gill fan...so I was excited to see him perform with such an iconic band. As I listened to every song, absolutely glued to my seat, I wondered, who was most in awe? Is Vince thinking "wow, I can't believe I'm performing with the Eagles" or are the Eagles thinking "wow, we've got Vince Gill on stage with us". It was an incredible concert. The best I've seen yet. In my opinion, they couldn't have chosen a better voice or musical talent.

Vince is one of those guys who is so dang good, and so humble he is able to step up on stage with The Eagles and know exactly why he is there...but not make a big deal out of it...just do what he can to make the music live. I think that Don Henley knows that, and knows that Vince has nothing but respect for what The Eagles mean to a lot of us. All of these facts are part of why they seem to have melded together so effortlessly. There will never be another Glenn Frey, but the music...the music we love still has a home, and that is a good thing.

Love this man! I’m a lifelong metalhead and really don’t respect any modern, popular country artists, but Vince is on a totally different level than almost any artist in any genre. His musicianship is world-class. There is no better guitarist on the planet. And his voice is pure and his writing is elegant and beautiful. But his soul is what really sets him apart. I was watching an Eagles concert on TV for 30 minutes before I realized he was in the band. This is a guy that can tower over anyone on a stage and he just sat back and honored the songs. To be that great and that humble at the same time... it’s basically unheard of. I really can’t say enough. Thanks for posting this video.

I was going to post but your post expressed what I feel about Vince Gill. I hate most country music but always loved the Eagles and CCR and others (in "rock"), and also loved Randy Travis, Vince Gill, John Anderson, Brad Paisley and tons of others who are sincere. Too many to mention. I'm a huge Beatles fan and love Zeppelin and any great rock music. Pink Floyd and all that, but I have my country side, and Vince is one of my favorites.

[@kingdanimal1]

@@PlanetRockJesus I agree completely..! I too am a lifelong metalhead, but I do have an appreciation for some of the classic country artists (Martina among them..!) and Vince Gill is truly in a class by himself, both musically an d as an individual. He has always gone out of his way to help young artists coming up, and has appeared as guest on more albums than I can count. Truly an awesome guitar player, singer and songwriter, and an amazingly humble man. And now playing with the Eagles..? They are very lucky to have such a talent as Vince. Check out the stuff he did with Alison Krauss and the fairly recent performance he did with Carrie Underwood of How Great Thou Art.

[@midnightflyer7510]

So funny! I three, or 4, whomever chimed in as a metalhead, am a metalhead too...lol! However, my first love was the Eagles, before I discovered Sabbath, etc. Also, liked me some Poco, Marshall Tucker and a little Pure Prairie League which led me to Vince Gill, when he later joined in 79 or 80, on to his solo stuff. Then to come full circle! So, after some heaviness with some Pantera or Lamb of God, it’s sometimes nice to wind down with the soothing sound of Vince Gill.🤘🏼

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

Bottom line, Vince Gill is a "Gem" , and it doesn't matter what environment he gets into. Amazing triple threat. Love every thing about this amazing player, singer, and writer..Vince, I doubt you can ever know how much you've meant to us all....thank you sir. You are such an amazing talent.

[@paulmucci5668]

It saddens me to hear him say that people have criticized him for being in the Eagles. I just saw them in Jacksonville (3/25), and he was amazing. Rarely do you get to see three virtuosos on one stage with Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, and Steuart Smith! Vince Gill is a breath of fresh air and a truly humble man.

[@sheilamorgan3845]

Eagles went downhill when they got rid of Randy Meisner and Don Felder. No one can do Take It To The Limit. That is a one man song. Randy Meisner.

[@paulmucci5668]

They didn’t “get rid” of Meisner. He quit the band. He and Glenn Frey had a very heated disagreement over Meisner’s refusal to sing Take It Too The Limit because he struggled to hit the high notes. After Hotel California, Felder wanted an equal profit split and tried to get Joe Walsh to go along with his stance against Henley and Frey. That was the beginning of the end for Felder.

[@sheilamorgan3845]

@@paulmucci5668 Randy had said after he and Glen got into it none of them would talk to him. They would not hang out with him. I believe that. That is what happened when Felder left . Him and Walsh were great friends. After the two dictators fired Felder that was it between him and Joe Walsh. That makes me think DH and GF had told Walsh not to talk to Felder. They did the same thing to Randy. Randy said nearing the end of the tour it was hell. Felder should have gotten an equal split on Hotel California. He wrote the music and melody and Henley wrote the words and they both sang on the record. When they signed a contract Felder was suppose to be an equal partner. So was Randy and Bernie. Seems only 2 got that. DH and GF. They were bullies. We all know the story about Hotel California. Randy had been telling them it was hard for him to sing those high notes. But like Randy said. Just let it go.

[@tracyjohnson5023]

I agree and I like an artist much better when they don’t try to imitate the original singer. Especially in a case like this, where it’s the same band, so it’s not a cover version of a song. Entirely different situation, but I do love it when an artist covers a song and totally makes it their own through style, arrangement or what have you. One of the best examples of that imo is the late, great Chris Cornell covering “Billie Jean”.

Agreed Larry. I have viewed the eagles when they first hit the big time in the early 70s as the best band (never mind guitar band) in pop history. It was a sad day for me and millions of others when Glen died and as good as Vince is, I dont think they will ever be the same again. Sorry to say but they need to let Glens son go. I also think Don is past his best and if Vince steps up and does more vocals the better would come from it. And a few more of Vince doing solos. And dont forget those harmonies, Vince can more than replace glen in that department. In the years since Glen passed away no group in any field has come close to what was the eagles. Sigh. BTW I am a retired guitarist age 77 but have the experience to offer these thoughts. I really do miss them as they were .

Never heard about Vince Gill before but he comes across as a humble, genuine, funny, guy.

[@MsEldorado88]

The man has 22 Grammy Awards and 26 Country music awards..

[@paulmarjoram2258]

How beautiful to listen to two lovely people talking from the heart

[@jamesswapinski9190]

Saw Vince as an opening act for Sawyer Brown in the late 90's. Sawyer Brown was ok...But Gill just blew them out.I was utterly astonished at his at his playing,never knew he was that good. Knew he could sing...but his guitar chops. Wow.!!.And yes. "I Can't Tell You Why" was in his set..and a highlight.

[@sterlingsubs]

Vince and Amy are big heroes of mine. The truly humble, kind, selfless people out there are the greatest of all, whether they are famous or not. Most are not famous! Most are simple everyday folks, parents, rank and file workers... choosing to do the right thing every day. We need an awards ceremony for humble honorable people. Only they'd feel too full of themselves to ever accept an award for it. If that's you, keep up the good work. If you know people like that, pat them on the back and let them know you've noticed.

The first time I heard of Vince Gill was when he played at the Crossroads concert. I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Great singer and even greater guitarist and a very down to earth and humble man.

[@andersglemne1955]

Vince i world class and soo unknown over here in Europe before he joined Eagles, what stands out exept for his voice and guitar playing is his low profile and the humility he express.A real Crack!!

[@mikemchugh3073]

His songwriting speaks for itself, and I know he can burn up the fretboard when moved to, but his personality speaks VOLUMES as a man and musician. He's the perfect choice to join the Eagles. I mean, he's played with just about everyone else, so why not them too. God Bless Him.

[@Tombo1230]

I’ve seen the Eagles live with Vince in the lineup and he is one helluva singer and guitar player.

[@1strypper]

Great converstion with one of my favorite singers in this entire world. One of the most amazing players and singers in any business, plus he never sees himself as being as amazing as he really is. I'd listen to him sing and play as long as he could muster the strength to play and sing! Saw him in person only once - Roberts Stadium / Evansville, Ind. what a night. Never be another Vince Gill, we are fortunate to have lived on God's earth with him!! Amen!!!

[@TheRayfield77]

What a great interview. It's hard not to like Vince. Just honest, pleasant, and talented.

[@AudiophileTommy]

We REALLY do need another Traveling Wilburys type band today !!! Do it Vince !!!

[@TruthOverLies]

Just saw the Eagles in Baltimore with Vince. He was outstanding! Yes I miss Glen but Vince was fabulous too.

[@ronrigsby9766]

Vince is nothing less then the real deal inside and out… a super talent in my book. WOW! What a great interview thanks.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Ron, thank you for your kind words and support of the channel- I know it would have meant a lot to my dad, Joe. Hope you can visit the museum sometime. Best, Britt

[@alanvallazza9781]

Must be an honor to be part of The Eagles. Vince is a favorite since the 80s.

[@mikehellekson]

Negative comments?? I can’t think of anyone better to be apart of the Eagles than Vince Gill!!!

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Fully Agree Mike! Merry Christmas, Britt

[@1badsteed]

Our USS Badger reunion in Nashville involved us visiting the Grand Ole Opry. Vince was being inducted into the HOF that night. I'm a Rock and Roller. Not into country really but can appreciate talent. I'd go see Vince anytime, anywhere. He is the goods!

[@JohnnysMusicGarage59]

I met him in Vegas after one of his shows it was just he and I after his show. He's a hero of mine and he really is the coolest guy on the planet. We talked guitars for awhile. I'll never forget that...

[@garryjha1]

When I first heard Vince,I was blown away,man he's one awesome singer,hitting them high notes as easy as he does it,just amazing,I love all his songs,I can do some of them but not all of them, He's a great man,I love him in Christ!

Vince Gill is truly god’s gift to mankind especially now in an era of sub par human beings.

[@damamae950]

Vince Gill. What's not to love? Clapton followed American roots music. He loved Dwayne Allman's playing, and he loved The Band. It all makes sense

[@johnbeardshall2898]

The band was canadian only 1 American in it

[@mateozapata8575]

One of my fav musicians and singers. I've seen Vince probably 20 times live. He's a master of the art. And a truly humble guy. He and Ricky Skaggs are my 2 favorite performers.

[@annbrown2978]

I was lucky enough to see the Eagles here in New Zealand when they played here last - ( 2018 I think) I honestly never thought I would ever live to see Vince Gill live, it was wonderful & a dream come true. I think he is a good fit for the band, obviously we would all love Glen Frey to be still here but Vince & his son are a great addition.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching Ann ... Joe

[@webinator9715]

Eagles. Not The Eagles.

[@verdigo5892]

@@webinator9715 We called them the Eagles back in the 70s. Still do.

[@annbrown2978]

@@webinator9715 sorry you are offended.. To me they have been the Eagles since I bought their first album back in the 70's. Going to see Eagles sounds a bit weird to be honest.

[@dannyodonoghue1952]

Awww 🥰 Thanks for the sweet word Victoria I appreciate you

[@almar2957]

Vince, you sing like an Angel (always did) and I LOVED hearing you /w the Eagles. Bonus!!!

[@cindicescon3149]

If someone asked me who I would want to meet in person...I would first say God...but Vince would be my second. He is one of the nicest fellows along with his exceptional talent. I have never seen the Eagles live; however, they are my favorite band of all time and Vince compliments them so gracefully and I know Glenn is watching over all of them each night. God Bless

[@VincentGillofficial]

hey . thank you so much . where are you from ?

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

*I dont care what anyone says, Vince Gill is The Man!*

[@fortierdawn]

Vince is so great. My absolute favorite is when he and Carrie Underwood sang How Great Thou Art.

[@rickroberts3130]

Just went to the concert in San Diego on 3/3/23. Vince was amazing, his guitar playing, and voice were stellar. The addition of Vince to the Eagles just plain works. Have seen the Eagles many times and never have been disappointed. Another high note was how smooth and seamless they all played together. Deacon Frey was also amazing. Such a great group of musicians, the talent overload was unbelievable.

[@bignhoj47]

I meet Vince Gill back in the 90's when I was working at Holiday Inn. He was so nice and personable...You never would have thought he was such a super star of music. One of the kindestpeople I have ever meet.

[@brucegwynn8509]

Joe, I don't think even you know how much these interviews mean to real music lovers like myself , I get to see another side of the artist like Vince gill , which isn't really my favorite but then you opened up another platform to be looked at , I can't thank you enough , I'm hoping to visit the museum next year and I know that I will enjoy it, who knows, I may even bump into you , thanks again Joe

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi Bruce... thank you for saying such nice things... hope to see you at the museum soon too... best... Joe

[@fnjesusfreak]

Vince Gill's version of "I Can't Tell You Why" (which featured Tim Schmit - one of the Eagles as well as cowriter and original lead vocalist of the song) is right up there with the original.

[@7628739]

He is also awesome playing bluegrass, amazing, T he Eagles hit gold with Vince . An Amazing player and songwriter. He also has wonderful life Partner Amy. God Bless you both and your family.

[@jimrose1013]

I’ve met Vince 3 separate times, several years apart from each other and he always stops what he’s doing no matter what and shakes my hand and is the humblest of men. Love this guy

[@judee.baland6526]

Vince is a wonderful Eagle. Glenn would be happy!
