Henly, comparing Eagles to Fleetwood Mac, Palm Beach Post Interview

[greatdarkwing]

The '94 reunion, dubbed the "Hell Freezes Over" tour because the group doubted it would ever happen, seemed more like a fluke. But now, as the Eagles criss-cross the country for the second year in a room and stay busy on a new studio album that's likely to be released in 2004, it's quite possible the group, Ã* la Fleetwood Mac or Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, is reunited for good.

In that regard, Henley sees a link between the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, which just released a new album and also is touring this summer (including a date at Office Depot Center on June 7).

"There's still a great demand to see us, and there's a great demand to see Fleetwood Mac, and none of the people in either one of these bands wants to just keep recycling the same old material. We've done that to the max already," he says. "We want to remain as vital and dynamic as we can be until we quit."

But unlike Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles' new album, originally planned for a 2002 release, has been delayed. "It took us almost a year to feel comfortable working in the studio with one another again, to find our respective niches. We've kind of got it down now," says Henley.
