FORMED: 1971, Los Angeles, CA DISBANDED: 1982 1971 in California, Don Henley and Glenn Frey meet as members of Linda Ronstadt's band. They realize they have a mutual goal - the formation of their own band - which is realized when teamed with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner by Ronstadt's manager, John Boylan, as a projected backup band. Instead, the Eagles are formed. Signed by Asylum Records, the Eagles travel to London to record with producer Glyn Johns. Their debut album is released in 1972 titled Eagles. The first single "Take It Easy" earned them instant national recognition. Another single, "Witchy Woman" hits #9 on the charts and the Eagles tour through the end of the year. Their follow -up album is also recorded in London; however, halfway through More... (Submit New Eagles Lyrics) (Submit New Eagles Lyrics) Review about Eagles Turning Point | Reviewer: Cheyenne ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles I'm only 12 and i go through so much more crap then even adults. One main problem is my abusive father. How do you stay calm when everything around you isn't? This song helped me. It shows me that there will be an escape from all of the violence and crap. I gives me hope... Powerful | Reviewer: RC ------ About the song The Last Resort performed by Eagles If this song does not summarize the fast times and high life of emptiness, nothing does. The final cut on an incredible album that was released as the wild ride of the 1970s was in full gear....it was that warning signal that the abyss was straight ahead, but very few listened. Really meaning of new kid in town | Reviewer: alfredo ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles The really meaning of this song is a bout a sargent during the 70's who is one of the eagles' son who has to go overseas leaving his girlfriend. He is popular in town util he has to depart. After many years pass by and he returned to town to find out that she made her life with somebody alse. Sad song. it is a true story. This song belongs in all group relationships | Reviewer: Brett ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles This song is very clever, it illustrates the classic emergence of anyone new in any large group or sub-culture. The fame or popularity comes and then soon fades as another new person arrives. High School politics come to mind. People who have the drive to be the centre of attention can relate to this great song. Long may it live. Life In The Too Fast Lane | Reviewer: King Ghidora ------ About the song Life In The Fast Lane performed by Eagles The Eagles, more than any other prominent band, seemed to get it that sex, drugs, and rock and roll was a great line but it was also an attitude that took a great toll on the generation of the 60's and 70's. They did a great job of capturing the emptiness of the lives of the perpetual party crowd (which still exists and is still being hurt by this attitude). Record companies actually encouraged this sort of attitude because it gave the dead beat drug users of the world hope that they could become rich and famous without really trying and without giving up their drugs. It was a sick way of cashing in on people's empty and often shortened lifestyles. Every junkie in the world wanted what the rock stars had. Mountains of cocaine, bales of marijuana and all the girls you wanted just for playing rock. Never mind that most of those people had trouble playing the radio, they all wanted to be able to say, "see you can get ahead by being a head". The even more poignant "Hotel California" exposed the empty lives of the generation that lived the "California Dreamin'" dream. Particularly the people who moved to California in the early 60's found out that "Life In The Fast Lane" was also the fast lane to the grave for too many. Many of the early California immigrants moved out of the cities by the 70's and became the back to the earth types with their tree hugging and their organic farms had their impact on later generations and eventually on the culture as a whole. But the Eagles understood that once you adopted that lifestyle there was no turning back for most. "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave", is probably the most cut to the chase line of all of the rock era. You can die but you can't give up your lifestyle. That's what they thought anyway. In fact many did go back to a more normal life and became stock brokers and bankers. Many of those people held on to their druggie ways though and the Wall Street junkie became a cliche later on. The Eagles have captured the hopelessness and emptiness of what was supposed to be the wave of the future in this song and Hotel California. It's sad because the songs are too true for many. But there are ways out of that lifestyle for those willing to give it all up and see it for the empty self-indulgence that has damaged so many so badly. Many have to come to grips with the fact that their own promotion of that lifestyle resulted in destroyed lives for others. It's not easy to forgive yourself sometimes. That alone keeps many locked in Hotel California whether they are physically in that state or just mentally in that state of mind. Good music | Reviewer: Fishboy ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles I like like listening to these song cuz it makes u stop and think I heard it on the radio and went to look it up on iTunes, then I realized my sister already downloaded it and we had a whole CD People look at me weird when I say I don't listen to tupac and whatever else, but oldies r so much better KRTH is on all my clock radios and the number one preset in my moms car. I've been listening to oldies since I was about eight andnow I'm thirteen. They don't write songs like this anymore | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles So many times I have asked myself, "what is my favorite song of all time?" and it hit me a few months ago, that this is the one. The beautiful lyrics, guitar playing, harmonies and keyboards. Wow. What more could make a great song? I could listen to this song thousands of times and never get tired of it. I loved it when I first heard it in 1977 and I love it even more now. I am inspired by this song | Reviewer: Roderick ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles Should I settle down after all these years of f**king around? Should I marry the one I love or should I marry the one who love me? Should I follow God and fight the bloody war, killing all those motherfuckers? (God has given me the privilege to kill) Please continue to inspire me with signs and codes, dear God. They will never forget you till somebody new comes along | Reviewer: Caroline ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles This song is about fame. It is about the fleeting nature of fame and the benefits (women) that are associated with fame. Women that are beautiful want famous men;but as soon as that fame much like beauty fades they will move along to someone else "They will never forget you till somebody new comes along". I liken it to quarterbacks. When you are young and at your peak, everyone wants to be you and be seen with you. Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady; perfect example. When Tom terrific came along and looked good and played well,Drew became an afterthought. As previously stated "They will never forget you till somebody new comes along". So harsh but so true. Desparado | Reviewer: Ham ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles This song reminds me of myself. I have a suckish life and i am very violent and foul mouthed, telling people that "I JUST SWEAR TO FUCKING MUCH YOU ASSHOLE!" so, whenever i want to calm down after a long swearing/violence streak, i listen to this song. I am only 13, but i love the eagles. (don't ask about my problems, YOU FUCKIN' WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND ASSHOLE!" This Song is About Hotels | Reviewer: Yeltzin ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles i was born in 1953. I first heard this song on my birthday in 1992 and thought hey thats a good song. So i decided to look it up. And i read it multiple times. However i am a Poet. a professional one. And i have discovered that it is actually just about hotels. I called up the lead singer and asked him what it was about he said it was about one time when he got stuck in a hotel in Bulgaria because he lost his passport. The clerk told him that he could check in any time he liked but he could never leave. Unfortuanately the clerk did not speak very good english. He meant to say you can check in but the cops will take you to jail. Mystery solved. And thats the end of that chapter. Why I came to my senses... | Reviewer: David ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles This song moved me when it came out. It challenged the desperado in me for almost ten years-and then a queen of hearts came into my life. I might have passed her by had it not been for this SONG. There's been a rainbow above me now for over 25 years...Eternal gratitude to the writer and his wisdom! EAGLES! | Reviewer: will ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles i may be 14 but i have grown up listening to songs from the eagles, dire straits, van morrison, eric clapton etc. and i may get some stick from my friends for listening to it but you simply cannot beat it. nothing nowadays can compare to these timeless classics that once you have heard it once you will never want to hear anything else for a long time. All of the afor mentioned bands/artists have simply reached the pinnacle of music so what is the point in listening to anything else? True Eagle Form | Reviewer: teresa ------ About the album Long Run performed by Eagles Unbelivable! True fanatical fan. Always come back to this album. Amazing! I have most of the other albums on my playlists, leaving one or two songs out, but the Long Run from "Heartache" to "Shoes", I listen to them all. heart touching song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles I really love this song. I think it's about someone who has suffered, and hasn't let go of the suffering. I think this song is advice to someone to love and be loved before they die. I think this someone is isolated and bitter, wanting something they can't have, refusing to be loved. The part about the queens I think is saying to be careful how and who you love. To be around someone for love, not for money or worldly things. I think this is a heart touching song. It reminds me of someone I made up a couple years ago. I don't think anyone could not like this song. I love this song. | Reviewer: gaby ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles Becauuse is hard to explain what is about but I know that the song is about drugs adicts because in the last 2 weecks I was searching information and doing a project about the son and I find out that the key is in the last sentence of the song you can check out everytime you like but you can never leave. an adict never leave drugs even if they like to avoid them. Classic | Reviewer: Paul ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles Hey Guys If you want an example of how badly this classic can be performed check out westlife's version on "you tube" which they sang on the itv programme "loose women". No emotion, total lack of appreciation of the lyrical content of this superb track. Oh yeah, and sung with a smile on their faces. You can't manufacture talent!!!!! WTF | Reviewer: Freezepop ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles Listen people music, like all other art, is a very non-linear thing. Althought the artist who made it may have had a meaning in mind at the time, to whomever witnesses the work, it becomes a personalized experience. In other words there is no "wrong" or "right" answer simply because you should develop your own meaning. That being said, this is an amazing song by the Eagles, period. I agree with Pmas | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song The Last Resort performed by Eagles This song is not really anti-religion. Some of it is talking about what "we" do in the name of God or religion or whatever. And it also talks about how "we" tend to destroy paradise. You come out to California in the early days and it's got beautiful countryside, beaches, mountains, sun, gold, etc. Pretty soon everybody hears about it and the next thing you know that paradise is lost. It is a fantastiuc song and is definitley one of ny favorites. First time I will see you in concert!!! | Reviewer: Debbie Tanner ------ About artist/band Eagles I am looking forward to seeing you in concert on January 24th, 2009, in Birmingham,AL. I have always enjoyed your music, and I have to say when I found out that I was going to your concert, I went out and bought "Long Road Out Of Eden". Well, you've done it again. Fantastic-CD!!
