If Slayer is the Eagles of death metal...

[D.o.S.]

But legit they're fucking awful. Right up there with Springsteen as far as Hallmark quality emotional resonance. People that attach sentiment to them need to realize that those memorable moments occurred in spite of the Eagles, not because of them.

And that's the truth, Ruth.

Kierkegaard.

Get utilitarian or get the fuck out.
Existensialism is a symptom of the priviege that is choking the planet.
The more we tolerate Eagles fans, the higher sea levels will rise.
This will eventually effect easy-listening, oil guzzling dad-rockers and blues lawyers alike, as helium supplies are running low and they milked most of that shit throwing coins at poor people during the depression from their aero-zeppelins.
So, that's out.

memorable moments occurred in spite of the Eagles, not because of them.

Yes.
Your family is more important than Don Henley.

I love your dynamic, guys... Hope to see more of these slams here around the ILF

I hope ccandy isn't taking me too seriously.
I don't anyone for being an existentialist.

I will hate an Eagles fan on principle, though. :P

What about exitstencilists? I think most of them're Eagles fans for sure.

One good thing came of this thread, putting on Yer' Album right now.

[The Mad Titan]

This a million times over. The James Gang, like the EODM, were fucking awesome, and the Eagles killed it when they poached Joe Walsh.

Don Henley and Glenn Fry should both rot in hell for ruining an infinitely superior band. I'm almost willing to forego atheism in order that this may occur.

Springsteen

Don't you fucking dare bro! What do you even know about Springsteen

"Hallmark emotional resonance" SMFH

Springsteen could write a better song than your life in 10 minutes

I will never understand Springsteen haters

Death to Springsteen haters

March them into the sea

(I'm trying to be intense like that other guy I'm talking to)

But seriously how are The Eagles even deserved of being mentioned in the same sentence as Springsteen? How can you equate those artists? Because I know I waxed poetic about them but it is admittedly just nostalgia, whereas Springsteen is one of the cornerstone songwriters of modern American rock

[goroth]

I'd put Springsteen and the Eagles in the same basket.

But then again, some folks would put slayer and vader in the same basket and that'd just be silly.

[Iommic Pope]

Try harder.

At at least do me the common courtesy of remebering my user name, I did make a note of yours.

I mean, I don't blame you. You're probably just kickin back with a nice red, maybe even some strawberry wine, on the deck of the house your trust fund helped to build, with some prescription dope your doctor wrote you a script for and some xanex you pinched off your missus, shootin some shit about the Eagles while listening to the Boss.
If I were you, I wouldn't bother with names either.
That's all......













.....so much effort, man.

[DarkAxel]

shots fired

[Iommic Pope]

It's all in good fun.

I refuse to believe any serious discussion can be held or maintained about the Eagles.

Because they fucking suck.

Like Dave Ghrol said, "If Bruce Springsteen is the Boss, then I quit." Or, like crucial unit said, "Springsteen needs the workers more than the workers need Spingsteen."
Nebraska sucks. Born in the USA sucks. Born to Run sucks. The hook to Dancing in the Dark is really good. But it is quintessentially useless music. It's tossed off garbage. Sometimes his songs are good when other people do them (see Blinded by the light), but it's all just faux-sincerity and grotesque New Jersey-ness that has nothing to do with real life in any capacity whatsover unless you're part of that vacuous order of pondscum who really really want to make it in New York but are stuck, to your eternal lament, on the wrong side of the bridge/tracks/50's doo wop bullshit.

And, just like the Eagles, it is perfect music for the people who want white picket fences and white neighbors and a nice union job and their VA health insurance. Fuck them. If you want the 'real American experience' listen to Oxbow.

Whatever bro, I can't do this with you today. I respect your taste in music but it is not mine.
Springsteen is a God among men, he's still making good music today. Seventeen albums deep in a career with nary a stain on it compared to his peers.
You guys sure seem to think that people listen to the music their demographics are supposed to listen to.
Pretty superficial IMO...

I LOL'd pretty hard at the thing about me sitting with the wine cooler on the deck though IOMMIC POPE (your name)
