No (see below). Scott Thurston is the "new" guy with the Heartbreakers...he used to be in The Motels. (he took Tim McGovern's place in the Motels when Tim left to form "Burning Sensations"...anyone remember "Belly Of The Whale"?)

Not too shabby...but then he learned Felder's licks note-for-note off the albums. Pretty much anyone who's played guitar for three years can do that.

Considering he was already an established artist with multiple albums of his own under his belt (as well a couple of "hits" with his previous band The James Gang) BEFORE he joined the Eagles, yeah, I guess "cult following" would be an understatement.

I didn't watch the show but Scotty Crago has been drumming for the Eagles for several years.

Does he sound better with them than he did with Stevie?

I wasnt real familar with the Eagles other then hearing their songs, and can say now that Joe Walsh rocks and Life's Been Good was by far the show's highlight. The rest of the Eagles really dont impress me much, but other real highlights were Take It Easy, Heartache Tonight, Already Gone and Hotel California. Don Felder is the better singer of him and DH. The only thing I can say for certain is John McVie is by far the better Base player!

[HenleyFan]

I think you mean Glenn Frey, not Don Felder. Felder is no longer with the band.
