在 The
Eagles 的成員中
哪一個被認為是心機最深的？
Randy
Meisner
可能是最不生澀的。除了典型的搖滾明星之外，從來沒有聽說過太多關於他的壞消息。
Joe
Walsh
將是下一個。他的問題是，當他們解僱Don
Felder 時，他沒有挺身而出。Walsh
聲稱
Henley
和
Frey
正在做的事情對樂隊來說是最好的。然而，他們所做的是向Felder
隱瞞這些事，Felder
是樂隊的三個合作夥伴之一。這對樂隊來說不是最好的，這對
Henley
和
Frey
來說是最好的。
Henley
是第二個混球。他完全承認自己做過的壞事，他覺得沒有他和
Frey
就沒有樂隊。這可能是真的，但如果沒有Moon
和
Entwistle，就沒有一個叫做
The
Who 的樂隊。Townshend
知道他需要其他成員的支援。Henley
和
Frey
從未見過這一點。
Frey
不僅是這個團體中最大的混球，而且他也是搖滾史上最大的混球之一。在這方面，他可能與
Chuck
Berry
並駕齊驅。
每個被解僱的成員都與
Frey
發生了某種實際或威脅的肢體衝突。每個樂隊都有它的爭執，但出於不同的原因。對於
Frey
來說，那是因為他負責，其他人需要向他鞠躬。
Frey
的另一件事是Henley
承認了他們的所作所為，儘管他試圖給自己的行為最好的解釋。Frey
從來沒有這樣做過。當他談到事情時，他說是他和
Henley
幹的，讓自己有機會分擔責任，或者表明他有其他人同意他是對的。
觀看
The
Eagles 的紀錄片。Henley
和
Frey
以某種方式設法擺脫過往對伙伴們的做為，看起來並未達到目的。
Frey
並淡化其他樂隊成員的貢獻。
The
Eagles 輕搖滾合唱團1972年在倫敦推出首張專輯，1982
年解散，他們的專輯
Eagles/Their
Greatest Hits 1971-1975 銷售量超過二千九百億張，僅次於Michael
Jackson
的
Thriller，是美國專輯唱片的一個紀錄。
The
Eagles 在Billboard
Hot 100排行榜上獲得冠軍的歌共有5首，
其中1974年的
Best
Of My Love 是BMI最常播出歌曲榜第78名，1977年的
Hotel
California 則獲得滾石雜誌
RSO500
#49。

他們的傳奇之作
Hotel
California
作詞/作曲：Glenn
Lewis Frey / Don Felder / Donald Hugh Henley
On
a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of
colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the
distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my
sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There
she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was
thinkin' to myself
"This could be heaven or this could be
hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the
way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard
them say
"Welcome
to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely
place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel
California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find
it here"
Her
mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes-Benz, uh
She
got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How
they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance
to remember
Some dance to forget
So
I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He
said, "We haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And
still, those voices are calling
From far away
Wake you up
in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
"Welcome
to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely
place)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel
California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring
your alibis"
Mirrors
on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, "We
are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in
the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab
it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last
thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find
the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, "
said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You
can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!"
