I hate the fuckin Eagles, man. Don Henley said it was OVER when Glenn Frey died, but guess what?

[Miles Archer]

Eagles and Fleetwood Mac will headline a pair of new music festivals to take place on the east and west coasts this summer.

According to Billboard, the two veteran bands will top the New York- and Los Angeles-based Classic East and Classic West concerts. While no official word has been announced on these shows, Billboard reports that they will take place at Citi Field in New York and at Dodgers Stadium in California.

Organizers undoubtedly saw the money taken in last year by the two-weekend Desert Trip festival, which featured performances by some of classic-rock’s biggest names, including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who.

This will be the Eagles’ first live performance since the death of co-founder Glenn Frey in January 2016. Don Henley, the only original member left in the band these days, previously said the Eagles were breaking up following Frey’s death. But the Eagles have broken up before, and that didn’t stick either.

Someone needs money.

20. Good for him if he's raising money for the project

I applaud philanthropic causes.

2. Well, not too bad if...

you weren't very fond of Glenn Frey!

There are so many possible undercurrents going on here...

[underpants]

3. After the "He'll Freezes Over" tour I think they realized they could stand each other enough

We saw the Eagles in the summer of 2015. I was basically just tired of hearing their songs but the concert gave me a new appreciation of them. Good concert.

7. same here

I think it was 2015 - one of those more recent tours. Loved every song and especially the Joe Walsh stuff - not even an Eagles song but they did In The City and that made my night. Plus the real Eagles songs too.

21. ...an' b'sides--they really need the money, dudes!

4. Jesus man...can you change the channel man???

13. Fuck you man..If you don't like my fuckin' music get your own fuckin' cab!

[redstateblues]

5. The Eagles were a great band. If they don't go out and play what do you expect them to do?

They certainly don't need money. As a 68 year old working musician, I plan to play until I can't! My mom played at a good level until she was 80. I'm not sure I can make it that far!

6. Doesn't F.Mack have a reunion every time the drummer goes broke?

[bunnies]

8. Fleetwood Mac makes me want to ram pencils into my eardrums.

But The Eagles... they rule. Don Henley in particular.

[Upthevibe]

9. I love the Big Lebowski! It's been playing on a regular basis on HBO lately but I LOVE The Eagles!

[bunnies]

10. I have, somehow, never seen that movie.

I hang my head in shame. 😞

[tinymontgomery]

16. Best Fleetwood Mac albums in my view

Bare Trees, Future Games and Mystery to Me.

[bunnies]

18. I just can't stand her voice.

That goat-boy vibrato thing makes me want to break something. It offends my soul.

[Metsie Casey]

11. Money. $$$$. Just like the Who. Half of the Who.

[Metsie Casey]

12. I only liked the Joe Walsh lineup. Never liked Fleetwood Mac

[red dog 1]

14. K&R

[NBachers]

15. I saw Blue Oyster Cult at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk last year.

I was out on the pier, and I said, "Hey, that band's covering a Blue Öyster Cult song!" Then I got over to the bandstand, and it was them!

They were as tight as you'd expect Blue Öyster Cult to be, and they did all the great hits.

Just to provide some Eagles contrast.

[Docreed2003]

19. But did they have enough cowbell??

[ohheckyeah]

22. That's the proper

Response to that statement.
