subject: Eagles Tickets - The Group That Marked Music History [print this page] Before becoming the famous rock band you know and California to enflame the dance floor with their slow universal and all-"Hotel California" (1976), "eagles" have long hovered over the beach and palms with titles of country and bluegrass (atmosphere O Brothers). Though, it has not weighed that much given the two albums Aquila did before the slab to "rock FM glove" Eagles (1972) and Desperado (1973). Things get more complicated (better) with the arrival Dun new producer Glyn Johns, who previously worked with Led Zep, The Stones, The Who and who took over the third album from the Eagles, On The Border.
Unfortunately, it will not stay long and it will eventually Bill Szymczyk to finalize all in 1974. Composed of guitarist and singer Glenn Frey, Don Henley on drums, Bernie Leadon on banjo and mandolin (he quit the group in 1975) and Randy Meisner on bass, while the Eagles explode with their sixth album Hotel California. By itself, this disc is a big slice of American Way of Life. In 2003, the U.S. channel VH1 has given this album instead of "38th best album of all time" and in 2005 it was the turn Albion gives him the 39th spot. Hotel California. Album sold 16 million who have allowed millions of people to dance "glued-tight" and meet. The slow killing. The slow of first kisses and first stirrings.
The first sentences of slow heart. Hotel California. His blue bag with the facade of hotel East and palm trees (in fact, the Beverly Hills hotel photographed an evening on summer Sunset Boulevard). Hotel California. A history of drugs, sad, sand and evaporated. History appears at the end of a daughter overview Dun corridor and puts the message "there is a new kid in town" (under the 2nd piece of the album).

Who knows that the best selling album in the history of the recording industry is their "Greatest Hits No. 1" (which, something amazing, does not even "Hotel California" that cannot be found as the "Greatest Hits No. 2"), while "Thriller" Michael Jackson is content with second place? Or that "Hotel California" is also played throughout the world than "Yesterday" by The Beatles? Anyway, that would recognize the Eagles in the street or in restaurants? This is not a neurotic fear of fame that leads towards discretion, but a relaxed lifestyle choice. "We are normal people," says Don Henley, lead singer of the group. We have used all the shit that rock band can do. "
The group, whose musical perfection, and harmonic voice is such that it earned them over them to see crystallized the hatred of punks, does nothing like the others. While tours are always organized around the release of an album, which landed here without anything new to sell. The ultimate irony, for the record holder for most sales were a record label and record solo of each other, increasing trial for dark tales of royalty. The Eagles are no longer on stage, and a four-CD box set Eagles 1972-1999 ", published by Warner, sums up their triumphant takeoffs.
