Glen Frey ( The Eagle that soared so high)

As much as David Bowie's loss was very sad, I think Glen Freys contribution to MOR was sensational!

A great musician in his own right he formed with the Eagles that West coast sound which has become iconoclastic to the style of the sensational seventies!

The music still is fresh alive and vibrant today as then.

I don't think the Eagles can or would want to carry on now and so one of the "Stellar" Bands of all time may not ever be seen again! 

Lets hope not!

Vale Glen Frey and thanks for the beautiful music!

    Sorry Picket, but The Eagles epitomised almost everything I hated about 70's music which never got interesting until the last 3 years of the decade... the decade that was the 70's I like to think of as music's "beige period".

    I enjoyed a lot of music right through the 70's but The Eagles were not one of them.

    Proud to say i have never owned anything recorded by them!! Soft [censored] West Coast Sludge...

    Yes, there was great music produced throughout the 70's, but following on from the consistently brilliant music produced in the 60's, the 70's was always going to be somewhat "boring".

    i have always thought the "Music Decade" back then went from 1965-1975...once disco kicked in the cocaine took over..But it did take a few years for the 60's to fade down...they were so amazing!

    there are threads on music,  for which to voice approval or disapproval of choice. 

    but this is a thread to honor someone who has impacted peoples lives,  & for them to share their thoughts in a time of loss of someone important in their lives. 

     

    not for criticism,  that should be in the music threads.

    I am sharing my thoughts on what i thought about The Eagles. 

    I worked in a Record Shop during '81-'82

    You have no idea how many times i was forced to listen to "Hotel California" and other related Eagles tunes. 

    Credence Clearwater Revival were the sound from the west in the 70's

    Hotel California one of my all time favourite tunes.  as well as 'Life in the fast Lane' reminiscing about driving to Flinders whilst making love to girl friend, during the journy at the wheel.  the good ol days. lets not spoil them.

    no, read the title, Glenn Frey. with an explanation of where he's known from.   although my mistake,  there is no Vale` in the title. which I thought there was.

    The first three lines in the original post read: "As much as David Bowie's loss was very sad, I think Glen Freys contribution to MOR was sensational!

    A great musician in his own right he formed with the Eagles that West coast sound which has become iconoclastic to the style of the sensational seventies!

    The topic started off belittling Bowie's contribution to music as compared to Frey's and then went on to discuss the music of the Eagles.  Those three lines invited the discussion the followed regarding the value of The Eagles' music.

    Yes, his death was a sad thing, but as WYL said, we all die... the only difference is that we non-celebrities will go unnoticed in our passing, except by those to whom we are closest (as it should be).

    or as derryn hinch once said "the dead are owed nothing but the truth"

    of course it all depends on whose truth, but all are free to present theirs

    yes I see your point, I thought it was a respects thread for Glenn Frey, & I also didn't perceive it as a put down of Bowie,  who I think is/was fantastic, more-so now than ever before. 

    But i didn't perceive that it was comparing the two of Bowie & Frey,  as both were large parts of my life....  love music.   with a wide variety from Satchmo to Elvis,  from Billy Pauls 'me & mrs jones',  to Earth Wind & Fire,  from Glenn Miller to 'Snow White & the 8 Straights'.  Billy Joel to Gary Puckett.  from Chain to Madderlake. etc. Thorpie.

     

    to me they are all greats.  I don't need to hang shyte on this or that.  especially after one has just passed & is still warm.

    I even like the light stuff like  Billy 'bad habits' Field,  or Christopher Cross,  then to Slade, Deep Purple, Guns n Roses. et al. all the Blues legends & some.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
