I just read where Glen Frey has passed away at the age of 67. Apparently from complications with intestinal issues he's been having. When it rains it pours! So many great musicians leaving us too soon lately. God bless them all.

    Yup. It's been sombering but at the same time a lift-up, music-wise, life-wise.

    Appreciation-wise?

    Hope that makes sense.

    Sweet av, by the way.

    was lucky to see the eagles a couple of times in the seventies. they were tremendous live. in their day they were huge. glen frey was integral to that band. his talent was enormous. he will be missed. we are losing the mozarts and chopins of rock music. just a lesson as well, if there is an artist you want to see , go see them unfortunately things happen. was a big fan of the eagles . r.i.p. glen frey and thank you for the music you gave to so many .

    Needs to have an updated verse now to include Weiland, Lemmy, Bowie, Frey and I'm sure there are others. Dropping like flies. Stairway to heaven is having a traffic jam during rush hour it appears. Geeeeeeezdang!! FAK! Just spent Friday night listening to Desperado, Hotel California and The Long Run on the turntable and the fiancé and I couldn't recall a more awesome night of music we had while sittin around drinking and playing dice. we had a cool night. then today's news.... junk garbage.

    PS - can we please move this to AET where it would probably be better suited?? Cheers and keep on jammin.

    Bummer. Sorry to hear this.

    In Jim Jarmusch's movie about Neil Young and Crazy Horse Neil talks about all the friends and colleagues who were his peers who had died. He said, "They're dropping like flies". It sure seems that way. I get it.

    I remember when my parents went through the same business when their GI generation heroes started dropping left and right. The wheel of life keeps turning.


    R.I.P. Mr. Frey
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Hey all,
    Just wanted to take a second to show some love for Glen. The Eagles started me on my road to the love of Rock and Roll. I appreciate them everyday. We are losing some really amazing artists, and I'll cry for each one of them. They've done some much for me. I'll love them forever.

    With everyone we lose (Bowie, Glen, Lou Reed, BB King, Clarence Clemons...on and on...) it becomes more apparent to me how lucky I am to have PJ. I didn't get to experience the 70s, but I have PJ. I hope they realize that more and more, that they are representing Rock and Roll. They have the immense honor of keeping it alive. I hope that they are inspired to play more shows to honor our fallen friends. I hope they know how much more important they become with each passing day.

    Maybe a little melodramatic. But, hey, its a testament to how much I love these guys.
    Thanks for reading. Thanks for not posting rude replies.

    I never really like a whole lot of the Eagles music, but Glenn Frey has 1 of the most recognizable and best voices in music and all those dudes seemed like world class musicians and writers. RIP.

    i agree. when i was driving home last night and heard about Glen Frey passing I thought how lucky we are to still get to see PJ and made me want to see as many shows as possible on this tour since who knows what the future holds. I will enjoy every second I can of PJ and the guys.

    My thoughts exactly. We have to take advantage of their shows and the 10c community as much as we can. We are so lucky to have them.

    All things (people) must pass.

    I continue to love the music of Harrison, Cash, Elvis, Waylon, Hendrix, Hoon, Bowie, Morrison, Marley, not to mention that of Mozart, Bach...on and on and everly on.

    Same could be said for the Dali's and Picasso's.

    I've come to consider it all as a gift to us - their gifts to us - and maybe ours to them, in the resounding impact, appreciation. Becomes part of us.

    For the love of Glenn Frey, OP please correct your spelling. RIP Glenn

    Yes, I had a typo while yelling at someone about a typo. Classic.

    I have a really dumb Question, but did Glenn play with the Eagles back in 2010 or was he out of the tour due to health issues?

    Thanks in advance, just trying to remember if he has been part of those tours.

    I was fortunate enough to see the Eagles in 2008 and 2009, although I had been listening to them since the 70's. Glenn was my favorite member, and his death has really saddened me. I've been listening to their music today, and realizing just how much I love it. RIP Glenn. I'll always be grateful for the Eagles!

    A Glenn Fry sounds cannibalistic, yet...tasty.

    Season him up! ;)
