Except Don Felder wasn't a singer or a songwriter.

I'm with you! Felder was my favorite Eagle. He smokes Walsh. Just absolutely smokes him.

I am also a Eagles fan....I do think your wrong about Felder....he did write alot of music for the Eagles songs. He did 'write' Hotel California amoung others. Just not the words too those songs.....I also liked it better with Felder too...I am happy I got to see the Hell Freezes Over tour with him in it.... I do like Henley probably not Frey as much though.....as I'm sure 'they' all have there ego issues....as I'm sure Fmac does as well......I do like Joe too I think I liked Randy a little bit more than Timothy....anyway...just some thoughts..... Oh yeah, he did sing one song...on the One Of These Nights LP....not sure of the song right now ....Maybe? It was one he wrote as well...I don't recall the title right now...sorry....he did sing but no it wasn't his best thing...his guitar was his best asset and writing music.....guitar parts.....

I think you're talking about "Visions" which Felder did write but I think Henley did too. It's on the "One Of These Nights" album too.

Have you heard anything about a tour this year besides the Eagles one?

The thing is FM would most likely be on first, which in my opinion dilutes what they are. LB ****s all over any guitar work done by the Eagles, Not to mention how much better SN is a singer & Songwriter than Don Henley et al. Mick and John are the best rythmn section in rock history. DH can't drum for ****.

FM should not result to this for the money.

I had never been to Twitter before. Is this really LB or at least someone posting what he tells them to post? Are the members of Fleetwood Mac really this desperate for money???

Here's an article I found from about a month ago from the Eagles bassist..



Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles May Not Tour After All According to Timothy B. Schmit

If Timothy B. Schmit knows what's going on, perhaps the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac will not be touring together after all. In recent interview, the Eagles bassist was asked about the rumored plan for the
Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles May Not Tour After All According to Timothy B. Schmit two 1970's mega groups to jointly tour football and baseball stadiums throughout the summer of 2010.

Schmit said he wasn't sure how much he really should say, but offered that he "didn't think that's happening".

While a joint tour featuring the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac might make sense from a marketing perspective, and could help spread overhead costs across the two groups, there would seemingly be a potential for a large number of logistical and personality challenges. Not the least of which is the relationship between the two most recognizable members of both bands, Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. Former lovers, they have had a turbulent relationship through the years. While most recently it seems they have gotten along well, there have been rumors of problems between the two on their joint tour in 2005.

Schmit mentioned that the Eagles might tour jointly with another band, though he did agree with interviewer David White that they wouldn't necessarily need to for the purposes of ticket sales.

Schmit is hardly the voice of the band; he was only with them for one album, The Long Run, in the group's first incarnation and, along with Joe Walsh, are really hired hands as co-founders Don Henley and Glenn Frey share actual ownership in the band. A third Eagle with full ownership, Don Felder, was fired from the band in early 2001. A lawsuit and semi-tell all book followed, both of which portrayed Henley and Frey as making all of he decisions. Schmit also contributed to the Eagles 2007 album, Long Road out of Eden, which was met with mixed reviews.

I doubt this is the real Lindsey. I wouldn't consider it legitimate information.

Finishing up this weekend’s onsales are tickets to catch The Eagles in concert in Portland and Seattle. The reunited band will be finishing up its Long Road Out of Eden tour early this year before embarking on a joint tour with Fleetwood Mac in the fall.

Im on the fence about whether or not its real, but looking at things like who he follows (which are few in number) and the sparse postings, I think it's really him. Stevie's is pretty much the same thing.

I like to think me tweeting him for confirmation on the tour led to the tweet

I've decided that I'm happy just to know there's a possibility of seeing FM again. I think the Eagles aren't awful, though, and I won't be disparaged about this if it does in fact happen.
