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

record with producer Glyn Johns. Their debut album is

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,

    Review about Eagles

    At the center of the Eagle's work. | Reviewer: ebrent
        ------ About the song The Last Resort performed by Eagles

    This song is the medicine within the sugar coating of much of the rest of the Eagles' output. I credit the Eagles for continuing to perform it. I'd also like to thank the group for its consummate musicianship and taste in its performances and recordings. These guys are pros . . .


    Wikipedia | Reviewer: Onna Jo
        ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles

    Here is how Wikipedia describes Hotel California. Notice that the ACTUAL BAND MEMBERS are QUOTED. So cmon guys! This is the real meaning. And stop with all your garglemesh. It's not drugs not ghosts not whore house. Just a Hotel. Listen to the song once with the lyrics in front of you. The lyrics mean what they say.

    The song's lyrics describe the title establishment as a luxury resort where "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." On the surface, the song tells the tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared inviting and tempting. The song is generally understood to be an allegory about hedonism and self-destruction in the Southern California music industry of the late 1970s; Don Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles"[2] and later reiterated "[i]t's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about."[3]

    The abstract and metaphoric nature of the song has led listeners to their own interpretations over the years, including some claims, spread by word of mouth and internet, of Satanic aspects. Other rumors suggested that the "Hotel California" was a mental hospital, a real hotel run by cannibals, or a metaphor for cancer. These claims have been consistently refuted by the band.[4]

    The term "colitas" in the first stanza of the song is a desert flower, also known as Antelope sage or Colita de Rata [5]. Both Don Henley and Don Felder have repeatedly and publicly stated that Colitas are "heady desert flowers."[citation needed] Others assert that "colitas" is a Spanish term for "little tails." This is a reference to the buds of the Cannabis plant.[6]

    The use of the word "steely" in the lyric (referring to knives) was a playful nod to band Steely Dan, who had included the lyric "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening" in their song Everything You Did, according to Glenn Frey's liner notes for The Very Best of the Eagles.

    what you want it | Reviewer: Savannah
        ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles

    I agree with a lot of you. It means whatever you want it to. I think they wrote it because they new how much speculation it would cause!maybe it means nothing at all. Anyway don't read so much into it. Its a beautiful song with beautiful instrumentals. Listen to it to just enjoy the music.


    the meaning of the kid in town to me... | Reviewer: Vincent Cibrian
        ------ About the song New Kid In Town performed by Eagles

    There is a new kid town
    he come along
    i have something going with my girlfriend until this guy comes along and gets my girls attention, Johnny comes lately and he is very likable by every body (bastard) his like a rooster he must have all the hens for him self......And the rest is history


    Something to think about | Reviewer: beth
        ------ About the song The Last Resort performed by Eagles

    I've been a fundamentalist Christian all my life. I still think this is a profound song. The "Christian Religion" is so far removed from Christianity as to be laughable. Jesus doesn't like mean! No matter who does it, or what reason they give for it! This song really gives us something to think about. Our motives are what we are ultimately judged by. And destroying anything in the name of any religion is WRONG!


    Something to think about | Reviewer: Beth
        ------ About the song The Last Resort performed by Eagles

    I am a Christian. I've been a Christian for 36 years. Our motives are what we will be judged for. Destroying anything in the name of any religion is just wrong. This song really gives us something to think about. We should be very carful of anything we do "in the name of God."


    In awe | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles

    I've heard this song for so many years..been with me sing i was a kid. I never really took the trouble to pay attention to the lyrics until a couple of days ago. Imagine finding the beautiful words amongst the amazing notes; it's awesome. I can't believe I missed out so much of the song! I'll be looking forward to the next time i get to sing this song live..

    Love it to bits..


    Shed Some Truth... | Reviewer: VanBarbee
        ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles

    Hotel California, like Stairway, Bohemian, and so many other legendary songs, is one of those that has been a philosophical conundrum ever since we first heard the lyrics. I recall from my studies that Hotel California was written about the impossible dream of perfection (such as the dream of a better life in the west) and how cryptic it could be if you even came close to finding it.

    The reference to colitas is indeed odd and possibly refering to drugs, but let us recall that it is simply a recreational drug, and nothing to be focused on too intently, regardless of legality. Shimmering and dim lights are simply time passing and the driver growing tired.

    As for steely knives, it is just a witty lyric, and not any kind of nod at Steely Dan. Knives are made of steel in most cases...therefore steel-y is understandable, if not incredibly obvious.

    Being able to check out at any time, but never being able to leave, well isn't that the case with a lot of things in life? Bad habbits, tempting offers, simply the things in life we wish we could stop, but never truly can.

    And yes, it is about the music industry. Hence California (music central).

    Still however, a truly amazing song, regardless of it's lyrics.


    Great great tune | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles

    This song has both a beautiful melody and lyrics that evoke great poetic imagery. It speaks of a romantic loner, such as is in many of us. This song speaks of someone who takes solice in being detached and alone, even though that detachment brings longing for meaning with another. And in the end, the song concludes with hope for something better. Great tune. It has it all.


    Felter | Reviewer: Dale
        ------ About artist/band Eagles

    I live in a small town in eastern Nebraska.
    I have heard that one member that was with your
    group was originally from Norfolk, Nebraska.
    Is this true and what up with him now?
    I have a band and supposely he played in Norfolk
    the night before I did, and I was trying to do
    an Eagles song. Tough!
    Thanks


    First Reunion? | Reviewer: Carmen
        ------ About artist/band Eagles

    I read where it says that the Eagles 1st reunited for an MTV special but wasn't there a reunion before this? Didn't the Eagles get together for Travis Tritt's video for their song "Take it Easy"? I believe this came before the MTV special.


    Best Song ever by Eagles | Reviewer: Nadz
        ------ About the song No More Cloudy Days performed by Eagles

    This is probably the best Song ever by Eagles....
    it truly brings out the feelings from inside...
    Lyrics are so well written and are able to crate that "Eagles Magic" that u get by listening to a Eagles...


    Beautiful :) | Reviewer: Amanda
        ------ About the song No More Cloudy Days performed by Eagles

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It gives me chills everytime I hear it. It also sounds so much like the solo work of Glenn Frey back back in the 80's, especially with the sax at the end. The Eagles will always rock!!!!!


    Stab them with their "Steely" knives but they just can't kill the best... | Reviewer: Lisa Johnson
        ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles

    I read somewhere that the "Stab them with their Steely knives..." was a reference to Steely Dan. It seems one of the band member's girlfriends (may have been Don, I don't remember which) was fooling around with or had left him for, one of the members of Steely Dan. Thus, metaphorically stabbing the afflicted "Eagle" with his "Steely" knife, but couldn't kill him. Get it?


    Don't Kid Yourself | Reviewer: Robert
        ------ About the song Desperado performed by Eagles

    At the short side of 50 years old, don't kid yourself that it NOT ok to carry on one's life happily and succesfully without a "significant other" in one's life.Life has plenty of motivating factors and joy to NOT spend too much time hoping your quasi-soul-mate will pop out from among the pages of life.

        ------ About the song Hotel California performed by Eagles

    you all are so pethetic, you don't understand the meaning and you probably never will, because it's somethimg you don't want to believe, the truth, everytime you listen to it, you are falling deep, and deep, every time you sing it, play it, ther's no escape, why do you think that "hotel california" had so much success, it's not something easy to be famous, you should listen more carefully, and realiza how simple the meaning is, so simple, and obvious, not about whore house, neither drugs, and probably read the bble a few times could help, check how many and which bands have alredy been there and probably see......999


    running out of eden is out of the market. | Reviewer: Albert Mcdell
        ------ About the album Long Road Out Of Eden performed by Eagles
