Thanks for the Felder tips. ...Glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Thanks for the Felder tips. g-Money recommended his memoir about the Eagles in "Heaven and Hell".<br /><br />Check out "Pearl Jam's Twenty" documentary which is retrospective on the band's history over a 20-year span. I was more into the band in their first five years than their last 15, but it's a great period piece of the early 90s.Paulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020689398161655082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535834.post-72037479777634306382013-03-30T22:18:31.029-04:002013-03-30T22:18:31.029-04:00I just watched this based on your rec and I enjoye...I just watched this based on your rec and I enjoyed it very much.<br /><br />I was amazed how much Frey came off as a megalomaniac. Amazed because I wouldn't think he would allow himself to be portrayed as he really is. He definitely worked very hard the entire film to downplay the brilliance of Don Felder. <br /><br />Frey's lack of talent was evidenced in his vapid solo efforts. Henley's solo work also suffered the loss of the hard edge that Felder brought to the Eagles.<br /><br />Check out Felder's solo work if you can. It was not even mentioned in the doc (I suspect due to Frey's influence) but it is quite excellent. You might know two of the songs as they were featured on the soundtrack to the movie Heavy Metal which was fairly ubiquitous in the suburbs of the 80s. <br /><br />Henley came off as a doormat. Who sues their record company to get out of their contract as a band, then joins that company again as a solo artist, only to sue again?<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, it was definitely worth the 3 hours.
