Todd E , Feb 20, Location: Florence, SC. I thought it gave them a musical versatility that was missing in later years.
Beattles , Feb 20, BluesOvertookMe likes this. Artistic differences. Shorter version - it quickly became a drag to be in the Eagles if you weren't Frey or Henley.
Location: Rochester, NY. Location: Springwater, New York, U. I think it was the whole life in the fast lane substance abuses that he seemed to be referencing. Great guitarist!! Location: Long Island. Mainly Frey Drawer L , Feb 21, Location: West Coast now, East Coast before. After playing with Gram Parsons who could blame him?
Todd E , Feb 21, We had to stage it because you have the landscape down below. We looked at the city lights from different parts of the Santa Monica Mountains and decided you had to be pretty close. So we went into Hollywood and found a place to put me. Then — this is kind of cool — in order to have it be just the city lights behind but to get enough light on me, there was a time lapse to expose the photograph.
Henry was the photographer, but Gary Burden was the art director, and he was down in the bushes below me with a flashlight. The lens was open for a second or longer. Gary was painting my face with a flashlight, just illuminating it, while the lens was open. It was a neat effect.
What was he like as a person? You have a chance to become an icon while your peers are still around. Gram was a lovely guy, especially when I first knew him. I knew Chris Hillman when we were both in our teenage years in San Diego. I was 23, and Gram was about the same age. Chris was maybe 24 or Gram was very gregarious, outgoing, funny. Certain people had a tendency to go over the edge.
We all would have a couple of beers and maybe smoke a joint or something, but Gram tended to get out beyond that. The second Burrito album was Burrito Deluxe. Gram morphed and changed into somebody who was more of a drug addict and less his jovial, funny, youthful self, more affected by the drugs. He changed quite a bit in personality over the year-and-a-half that I worked with him. You returned to the Eagles in What was that like after all those decades away? Though past members Leadon and Randy Meisner were invited to participate in The History of the Eagles Tour in , Felder was notably passed over, and as far as is publicly known, he has never spoken to anyone in the band since It's a situation Felder says he wishes he could change.
So I would say that's a place they'll have to arrive to on their own, if ever. Felder never got the chance to mend fences with Frey before the singer died in January of In a statement after Frey's unexpected death at the age of 67, Felder said he was left "with a very heavy heart filled with sorrow," pointing out that he and Frey had been like brothers at times, and like brothers, they had fought.
The planet has lost a great man and a wonderful musician today. None will ever be able to take his place. Home News.
