The Eagles
Uma das mais famosas bandas de Country Rock, tendo seus LP'S em primeiro lugar nos Estados Unidos da América(EUA), durante quatro anos seguidos (1972 / 1976).
Formado no início dos anos 70, por Randy Meisnner (baixo), Bernie Leadon (guitarra e vocais), Don Hendley (bateria) e Glenn Frey (guitarra) lançaram o LP de estréia em 1972, com excelente e imediata aceitação. Depois do terceiro LP, o guitarrista e vocalista Don Felder uniu-se ao grupo. Em 1976, Bernie Leadon deixou a banda, sendo substituido por Joe Walsh. Mas ao contrário do que se poderia esperar, a alteração não prejudicou o sucesso do The Eagles. Em 1980 fizeram uma série de shows com ótima aceitação por parte do público e ganharam um Prêmio Grammy.
A Formação atual do grupo inclue tambem Joe Vitale (teclados) e o baixista e vocalista Timothy B. Schmitt, substituindo Randy Meisner.
Seu hit mais famoso é "Hotel California" Gravado no Criteria Studios, Miami & The Record Plant, Los Angeles, March - October - 1976.
Os Eagles são das bandas mais rentáveis da indústria musical dos EUA. O seu álbum 'Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975' vendeu mais de 29 milhões de cópias, número recorde naquele país.
No total, os Eagles já venderam mais de 120 milhões de álbuns em todo o Mundo.

"Hotel California"
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Great example of how songs are crafted. Henley and Frey had most of it, but key part ("I'm going back in time...go on dreaming")was written by J.D.Souther.

ARTIST: Joe Walsh
TITLE: Life's Been Good
Lyrics and Chords
[ FaddG = ]
Intro: / F(V) C(III) F - / / Am(V) G(III) Am EmAm / :
I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
/ F C G C / / / /
They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
/ G FaddG C G C G C G / G FaddG C G / C G A - /
My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm makin' records, my fans, they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
Everybody say I'm cool, he's cool
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
Everybody say oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far, yeah, yeah, yeah
_______________________
"Life's Been Good" is a 1978 track by Joe Walsh, which first appeared on the soundtrack to the film FM. It was released as a single and appeared on Walsh's album But Seriously Folks. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining his biggest solo hit. In it, he satirically reflects on the rockstar lifestyle ("My Maserati does 185 / I lost my license, now I don't drive"). Antics of all rockers of the era are reflected, such as the nod to Keith Moon and others: "I live in hotels/Tear out the walls." The 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide called it "riotous", and "[maybe] the most important statement on rock stardom anyone has made in the late Seventies."
"Life's Been Good" has a notable style: a mid-tempo, reggae-like groove marked by bedrock guitar riffs, synthesizers, a Jew's Harp, and a confused delivery. Walsh's ARP Odyssey synthesizer (and Jew's harp) riff accompanies the guitar solo in the middle of the song. The outro-solo is longer than most radio stations allow. Bill Szymczyk and Jody Boyer perform the backing vocals. This song uses a call-and-response pattern.
Call: Joe Walsh: "Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through"
Response: Bill Szymczyk: "Everybody say, 'I'm cool'"
Response: Jody Boyer: "He's cool"
At the end of the song, (cannot be heard on the radio version) there is a clip of an inside joke stating "uh-oh, here comes a flock of waa waas", recorded from inside the studio. After the music has faded away into silence, there's a 12-second gap before the inside joke. That inside joke would also be included at the end of Disc One of The Eagles' box set, Selected Works: 1972-2000.
Made after Walsh had joined The Eagles, "Life's Been Good" was incorporated into that group's concert repertoire, appearing in shows at the time as well as reunion tours. It remains a staple of classic rock radio playlists.
During live shows, Joe Walsh is known to change lyrics, such as 'Lock the doors in case I'm attacked' to 'Lock the doors and watch the War in Iraq!' to 'I watch the Lakers, they suck without Shaq!' and, more recently, 'Lock the doors, and vote for Barack.'
