with treesh on this. HC is a truly evocative, transportative piece of music, but I don't roll with any other Eagles I've heard. maybe it was young exposure that did this

Nice to find out the solo is on an SG. Not sure if that was buck's go to gtr at the time.
Treeship there are a few more unimpeachable eagles joints... I can't tell you why, one of these nights, in the city, journey of the sorcerer

i'm not a huge Eagles guy but there are definitely at least 7 or 8 hits i'd rather hear on the radio than "Hotel California." now and then i can leave it on and enjoy it, but it's just so long and overplayed.

SG is the guitar I immediately associate with Dharma, largely because of the "Tyranny & Mutation" inner sleeve

You can check out (BOC) any time you like,but you can never leave (the eagles)
At least that's what they taught us in Sunday School(1983).

Thx myonga. Admittedly the sg is one of the classic guitars I can't really recognize by ear. These days buck plays some weird expensive looking boutique thing live.

That's pretty fascinating. Given how meticulous they were about every aspect of that record, no wonder Krugm4n hates the SNL skit.

Is it just me? I've never met an actual Eagles fan. Yet, they're something like the biggest-selling band in history. It's like, most people must buy an album at far below the level of conscious enthusiasm--sort of, "oh well, this is something people buy"--and the Eagles devastate that market.

Both good songs, have never bothered with the lyrics of either, main riff of "Reaper" is awesome, also like the vocals, voted "Reaper".

Yeah, ftr, I do like the guitar solo in "Hotel California" quite a bit, and don't mind the whole HC album. "Reaper" is one of my all-time favourite rock songs, though.

Hotel California would be good if it skipped straight from the intro to the outro, no vox necessary
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 22 September 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link
Or just move the outro to the start, and after that you can check out any time you like

it was composed by "fingers" felder as an instrumental demo, would be kind of cool if they released that... but i suppose it would be bad to let the audience behind the curtain of EEGLES MAJIK
today's quest is to find a download of the MFSL of agents of fortune. I can't say I love the way it sounds on the remastered cd or the original cd. It sounds like it SHOULD sound great but it doesn't somehow.

DON: To be honest, we were so busy with our own work that we sort of missed Blue Oyster Cult. But when "Reaper..." hit the radio, everyone--which included us--had to take notice. A spooky, evil-sounding song with Pop power that still managed to rock out? We'd mined similar territory with "One of These Nights", but the ante had been raised and we had work to do.
GLENN: So we got monstered to a Godzilla level and that's how "Teenage Jail" was born.
DON: Well, yeah.

don't fear the reaper doesn't do much for me imo. i didn't even really know the song, i had to look it up. didn't realize blue oyster cult was even a 70s band, for some reason i thought they were some bunch of jerkoffs like primus or something. oh shit that's because of oysterhead! man that band sucked
