Hotel California was the first rock song I learned playing guitar. One of the guitar greats

You know The Eagles had two really great guitar players and Frey wasn't one of them.

RIP anyways though.

Wasn't Frey's job. Bernie, Felder, Walsh...all brilliant guitar players. Walsh is the only one who knows how to write a remotely good song and he was never on Glenn's level. None of them could sing close to Glenn either.

True true. It was more a response to "one of the guitar greats".

The music he made with Barnstorm is much better than any he made with the Eagles.

Ah shit, I didn't even see that. My bad.

I got the chance to see them three or four years ago. They did a really impressive show. It was a relatively small theatre at a local casino, which was a great setting for them.

It was probably about a year before their documentary was all over Showtime, which I also watched repeatedly for some reason that summer.

I love the music, but I have to assume he died by being crushed by the weight of his own ego. In that documentary he comes off as such a douche, but he's also genuinely funny, and seemed self aware of his own douchiness.

Its hard to build a long, successful career as a band without a guy like Glenn Frey being an egotistical douche. Like, really hard.

I know. Doesn't make him seem like any less a douche though.

And for the record I thought he was great in the documentary. Smart, extremely funny, but just very aware of what credit he should and shouldn't have been getting. Which is fine.

Henley has a lot of it too, but his feels a little more under the surface ... until he starts talking about Walden Woods. Frye's is more directly related to the reasons he's in Miami Vice.

Guitarist in one of the GOAT bands. This generation underrates the Eagles for whatever reason, they are one of the very best.

RIP Glenn Frey
