(“the eagles” were (was?) an ‘american rock band’ formed in ‘los angeles’ in ‘1971’ by…)
‘glenn frey’
‘don henley’
‘bernie leadon’
‘randy meisner’
.
(they were one of the most successful ‘music acts’ of the 1970s, with…)
*5 #1 singles*
*6 ‘#1 albums*
*6 ‘grammy awards’*
*5 ‘american music awards’*
.
(according to the ‘record industry association of america’…)
(at the end of the ‘1900s’, 2 of their albums (their greatest hits (1971–1975) + hotel california, were ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the ‘united states’)
.
(the album ‘hotel california’ is ranked 37th in rolling stone‘s list of “the 500 greatest albums of ‘all time” and the band was ranked #75 on the magazine’s 2004 list of the “100 greatest artists of ‘all time'”)
“of ‘all time’, ay?”
“by ‘rolling stone’ you say?*
(who are they to say?)
(you may recall that they consistently bashed ‘the eagles ”back in the day”)
.
(‘the eagles’ are one of the world’s best-selling bands of ‘all time’, having sold more than ‘150 million records’)
(…’100 million in USA alone)
(’42 million copies’ of their greatest hits (1971–1975) and ’32 million copies’ of hotel california)
(“their greatest hits (1971–1975)” was the best-selling album of the 20th century in the ‘united states’)
(they are the 5th-highest-selling music act and the highest-selling american band in american history)
(‘the eagles’ released their self-titled debut album in ‘1972’, which spawned 3 top 40 singles: “take it easy” / “witchy woman” / “peaceful easy feeling”)
(their next album desperado (‘1973’), was less successful than the first, only reaching #41 on the charts; neither of its singles reached the ‘top 40’)
(however, the album contained 2 of the band’s most popular tracks: “desperado” + “tequila sunrise”)
(they released on the border in 1974, adding guitarist ‘don felder’ as its 5th member midway through the recording of the album)
(the album generated 2 ‘top 40’ singles: “already gone” and their first #1 single, “best of my love”)
(their 1975 album one of these nights included 3 ‘top 10′ singles: “one of these nights”, “lyin’ Eyes”, and “take it to the limit”, the first hitting the top of the charts)
(‘the eagles’ continued that success and hit their commercial peak in ‘late 1976’ with the release of hotel california, which would go on to sell more than ’16 million copies’ in the USA alone and more than ’32 million copies” worldwide)
(the album yielded 2 #1 singles, “new kid in town” + “hotel california”)
(they released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with the long run, which spawned3 ‘top 10 singles’: “heartache tonight” / “the long run” / “i can’t tell you why”, the lead single being another ‘chart-topping hit’)
(‘the eagles’ disbanded in ‘july 1980’ but reunited in ‘1994’ for the album hell freezes over, a mix of ‘live’ + ‘new’ studio tracks)
(they toured consistently and were inducted into the ‘rock + roll hall of fame’ in ‘1998’)
(in 2007, ‘the eagles’ released long road out of eden, their first full studio album in 28 years and their 6th #1 album)
(the next year they launched the “‘long road out of eden’ tour” in support of the album)
(in 2013, they began the extended “‘history of the eagles’ tour” in conjunction with the band’s documentary release, ‘history of the eagles’)
(in ‘march 2016’, following the death of ‘frey’ and a ‘tribute performance’ at the ’58th annual grammy awards’, ‘henley’ told the ‘BBC’ that the performance was a “final farewell”)
(in an interview with rolling stone on ’10 june 2016′, ‘henley’ confirmed the dissolution of the band)
(then they decided to make another go of it after all)
*groan*
(more classic rock dinosaurs insisting on hogging what little of the ‘spotlight’ is left)
(so in ‘march 2017’ they started another tour)
(glenn frey’s son ‘deacon’ and singer/guitarist ‘vince gill’ replaced ‘glenn frey’ in the band)
(they kicked off a north american tour in ‘march 2018’ with henley’s son ‘will’ joining the band on ‘guitar’)
(they began a tour of ‘europe’ + ‘oceania’ in early 2019)
(they will be perfomring the ‘hotel california’ album in its entirety in ‘september 2019’ @ the ‘MGM grand garden arena’ in ‘las vegas’)
