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 My life is at a turning point. | Reviewer: SR ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles I am a loney, broken person right now. I am getting ready to do something morally wrong and I very well may divorce my husband. I am so mad all the time for no reason. I just googled this word deperato because it is one of my favorite songs. I just wanted to say that this song describes me to a 't.' It always has. I have had muliple instances in my life where it has almost haunted me during trying times...I heard it after I almost hit a deer with my car. I heard it on my wedding day, when I am sad, etc. Always brightens up my day knowing that someone is watching over me. Help me now. its a an art piece | Reviewer: saman ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles I think this song its a real example of the art everyone concept a different meaning about this and this is what makes Hottel California amazing and i love it coz everytime i listen to it, it has novelty for me i am Iranian with persian language but it's attractive for me Love This Song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles No one really knows the meaning of this song except for The Eagles themselves but I think it's about how when your famouse you feel like you're trapped and can't get out. It can be a good experience or a bad one and you can never stop being famouse. It would make sense because alot of the songs on Hotel California are about being famouse too. (New Kid in Town and Life in the Fastlane) Long Road Out of Eden | Reviewer: Robert L. Frieman ------ About artist/band Eagles Congratulations to the Eagles on cutting a phenomenal new double album! "Long Road Out of Eden" and "Bad Grasp of the Big Picture" are two of their best songs ever, and by themselves worth the price of the album. Don Henley's lyrics really rip a new orifice in the wars and what's wrong with our nation and culture. There isn't a weak song on the double set. I would give this five stars out of five. If you are a real Eagles' fan, pick it up. You won't be sorry you did. P.S.: There are several great love songs and songs on other subjects on the set as well, so it's not just a political protest album. memories | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles I'm 17 but i've grown up with old songs ! i think these songs such as hotel california can't ever be compared with any new songs !most of new generation's songs are meaning less ! whenever i hear hotel california i fell hope and joy...and of course ..Memories... My Theme Song | Reviewer: islandelephants ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles I live in a Third World country with funky bands in its hotels. All of them have Hotel California on their playlist. Some pretty weird versions. Being from Calif., I always request this song, so often that my favlorite bars start playing it when I come in, meaning that a tip is hoped for. It's worth it because this song instantly brings home into my head. Magic, how sound can capture a place and time. Here's to The EAGLES!!! The love second that hurts, nothing more nothing less than loneliness and unbelief | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles When love hurts, it's usually one second we would like to change, look over and over again in that one second. Here it is the regret that the new kid arrived in town on the day that he left, and at the dance he's restless about that guy, but as he is popular, he's maby confident that people will respect his couple, but when he returns, people don't care, and he knows, he shouldn't have left. He should have told her something, he is dreaming, wishing because he still doesn't cope with reality, but he has to and in between his regrets, he allways sees that moment, the invisible second of the shocking reaction of other people, not noticing his pain, not wanting to see it, you're helpless against that shock and alone, you're still hoping she will cry on your shoulder admitting her mistake in this way, he sees back the moment in her eyes, he thinks it all over, remembers his restlessness during the dance, scanning for the rival to be. She won't come back, he shouldn't have left, nobody understands and he didn't have the time to decide otherwise, it was a new guy, nobody knew, but he had felt it. It's that one second when you feel you lost and you want to feel that moment again and again, to make sure it really happened because you have to convince yourself. And in the end you get bored of your own thinking over and over again, I knew it, I knew it, why didn't I see it, or do something. Back and forth in time. The love with a big B for Big Love. He should have kept looking in her eyes. This or that, he knows: it's too late. He's craving. He's only shortly noticed of the bad news. People think it's normal, that's life! But for him it's his life, it's her still in his arms, her waist. It's trying to accept the unacceptable and searching for a reason and having to admit that in a split second he felt the seriousness of it all, he saw it coming and he regrets, that's why he's dreaming about some good things too, the changing of the reality, he would forgive her, she would be sad to have hurt him, but no no, once outside, the rumour is very real, it's true it's true, so? You didn't trust it, and still you left... can't say that to some 'strangers now' because I make myself impopular. You think we have to keep an eye, why? What's wrong with the guy? Did you love her enough, anyway, it's you who left... Better shut up, I'm guilty of leaving, for them, for me, for him, for her, guilty at all charges, exept of loving endlessly and staying in that one second where I feel my love is still alive. Because for nobody there's nothing left, and I still feel it torn out of my soul. This is for me the only real message in the song. The remorse and peoples 'coolness' before the real face of love. Better deny it in group than live it all alone, people prefer not to know what could have been changed and what you should have done when you had the possibility, because there's the present and nobody missed him, join them and you will be remembered, or go your own way, we don't care. It's an image of a beautiful diamond you lost and you're diving and diving, and people just help by saying: cut it out, accept, forget, move on, and he stays just in that one second of love, like every beautiful love should have it's moments of fear of losing, but here he really received a shock, nobody's going to help him or can give him an explanation, think it's normal, even, life goes on, but he has to go through all these emotions again night after night. She's much further away than he ever was... My boyfriend left me and he doesn't understand english and thought he was the new kid in town but I just took the matter serious and translated it in French for him | Reviewer: bee ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles It goes through different stages of realization, so it's a nice slow, it has a story from birth till death It sounds familiar,people talking on the street, seeing the big promise you are, looking at you, being your friend at first sight, your old friends seem to discover you. Johnny arrived, the new one. Everybody loves you so don't let anyone down so I'll tell you in my words in order to translate the feeling The feeling is remorse and how it started. He goes back in his mind and feels forceless. It started like that: you have to go away and it's the latest news in the village, you're gonna be a big promise, everybody's your friend, your friends look different at you and discover a new side of you, you will make everyone proud who knows you, who lives in your country, everyone gives you their support. But you saw something. In the crowd is a new guy, you've seen him, you smell him, you mention him already in your mind, you saw him and the others cheer at you, you're the best in their eyes. They organised a feast before you leave on your ship. You love her so much and drown in her eyes, the music takes you both away, and hopelessly in love, there's no doubt, another doubt slips in, you can't help it, you look around, search in the crowd, searching him, he has no name, they call him the new kid, he could be the new popular guy when he's gone and here his beauty in his arms... he's so restless, can't continue looking in her eyes, his attention is always drawn away, a wound in constant movement can't heal, he's scared to lose her, she could forget him after this dance. He's lonely, night after night, thinking over the dance, the words of magic he didn't pronounce and what they would look like, in order to make go away the reality, remorsefull of not having said enough to keep her from forgetting him, he will pardon her, forgive her and she will cry on his shoulder and she will ask forgiveness with her tears, he will take her back if she admits her mistake and she will come back to him. He dreams. Regrets. He's wishing her to come back. People on the street don't care to talk about the new. Nobody seems to understand that he's asking for an explanation. Will somebody take his side. But love matters don't interest them, but even so, he left? Hardly remember he ever left and that a feast was given. Nobody missed him. And if they were the new one, they'd chose themselves if it was to take that single women, they would care for her too during his absence, they would gladly take the place of the new one, he's so interesting! Even if you listen to their excuses, or not, you can't deny that everybody agrees and there's no reason why the girl should have made a mistake, she even made a good choice! Yes shut up he thinks and he walks away and still hears them talking, agreeing one with another, shit happens but they go on. Forget the past. If he can't,let him stay on his own. People on the street don't understand all the fuss you make. That brings you back to reality, you realize that your on your own. If you don't agree with them they forget you instantly, your place has been taken, you're not on their side that's just a pity for you, bad luck lad! Well yes, it happened, she left, so what, you should be glad it' for the interessting guy, she's well looked after, don't worry. Or it's your own fault, you shouldn't have left abroad. That's what they say. And everybody agrees with everyone, it's a nice guy, isn't it? The other one. Do you come from another planet, you didn't know? You're not 'in'? True you know, everyone says so. Oh poor you, she's gone, well sorry nice chat, have to go, see you sometimes. So there he's left with the cruel reality. It doesn't seem to interest anyone. And over and over again he can't forget. He felt it, he knew it, and other people agree that she left him for the new one. No one accuses her, and he lacked the imagination to keep her interessted in him during his absence. Yes shut up I know, I know, there's a new kid, he saw him the day he left, and between all these people beginning to start feeling so lonely that he's continuing to repeat the same thing over and over again. He can't deny it, she's gone and nobody cares that he's left behind. Why why why this new guy? And he can dream all he wants, she won't cry on his shoulder. He shouldn't have left his place, he would be holding her by the waist and continue the dance right now, continue the feast,he had it all and now he has it all, poor me and nobody cares.. IT'S A LOVE SONG GUYS! One false move and everything around you crumbles down. It's the pain of having lost the love of your life and having felt the danger coming and he's just another new guy now, but there are more interessting things going on now than his returning back. He's the one he's the one he's the one. For them, for her, for himself, he's the guy, the other one. He's nothing without her. The new one is still around and he just came back at the wrong time. He wants to put the clock back and he dreams another reality. I don't think you understand how nice sadness can be when you love and repeat every movement of the last time you saw your partner and everything was just fine, until one saw the opportunity, he saw it coming, he's full of remorse, and no one understands his LOVE! Mid-life Crisis | Reviewer: Hardluvinman ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles Hasn't anyone figured out yet what this song is really about? Male Menopause!! The clue is right there smack dab in the middle of the song: "You're losin' all your highs and lows, ain't it funny how the feeling goes away..." What this song is really saying is that every man, no matter how tough and independent, eventually loses his innate abilities to feel true joy and wonderment as he once had been able to as a child and that, if he's not careful, he'll end up settling for someone and/or something less than satisfying to his soul but perhaps financially secure for his body. Without that true love of one's life by one's side, life for most men becomes bleak and empty, without connections, purpose or fulfillment and all those adolescent fantasies about becoming the strong, silent Marlboro Man type will have become the mundane reality of burnout and disillusionment sitting on a park bench getting old. In other words, running around playing cowboy until you're 70 is ridiculous in the extreme and totally unrealistic as a life goal, no matter how self-reliant you may happen to be. Who cares if there's no one around to appreciate it? What this song is really telling men is to grow the f**k up before it's too late! There'll always be queens of diamonds around to satisfy our raging adolescent hormones but very few queens of hearts to satisfy the longings of our souls, which is where it really counts. After all, there's nothing more priceless than the love of a good woman. Remember that boys, and happy hunting!! True | Reviewer: Varrel ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles "Freedom? Oo Freedom that just some people talking, your prison is walking through this world all alone" Very true i think. This song describe my feeling perfectly. Im hear this song when im upset, and im start to calm down. Great truly great. 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!"
