RIP Glenn Frey

Glenn Frey -- Eagles Guitarist Dead At 67 reported by TMZ

[Grits]

For the past several weeks he's battled Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis, and Pneumonia...

One of my all time favorite artist/group. The Eagles

They were selected for this year's Kennedy Honors, but with Frey ill, asked that they be honored next year when Glenn would be well.

What a loss... and the songs go through my mind. :(

[thaskalos]

Wow!

A total shock.

[MutuelClerk]

Really sad. Seger, Frey, Nugent, MC5, Ryder, Cooper, Iggy, Motown. The Detroit scene in the 60's was top notch. The Eagles were a favorite especially when Joe Walsh joined. I had Hotel California on 8 track. Damn. You'll be missed Glenn.

[Red Knave]

Wow, very very sad.
One of the best soft rock voices and even a decent guitarist.

Way too soon. I'm starting to feel vulnerable with all the RIPs recently.

[RunForTheRoses]

Rest in Peace

67 is too young. RIP

[RaceBookJoe]

Sure seems like a lot of celebrity deaths to start off 2016. RIP

[ebcorde]

you guys need to update your tunes. :D


I lived in Arizona when Hotel California came out. "are you with me so far?"

loved when Joe Walsh was in. James Gang saw them in 73 in DC. I found an old video of James Gang playing walk away song? 3 guys who produced such loud sound had to send it to one of my sons who plays in a grunge music on the Philly scene.

he's 24 and really liked it.

For some reason...faulty telepathy, maybe...was positive when I clicked on this it was gonna be "Tequila Sunrise". This is a good one, too.

The EAGLES will never die.

It was that quintessential Californey 70s country rock

If you're an Eagles fan, I highly recommend "History of the Eagles". NetFlix has it. It was really interesting. :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

[Ocala Mike]

Eagles rule! Frye basically saved Joe Walsh's life. RIP - gonna be playing my Eagles stuff a lot this week!

[bobbyb]

Pepsi Center(not sure if it's still called that), Albany NY a few years ago.

Bar none the best concert I ever attended.

RIP Glen. You will be missed.

The next 10 years will see the deaths of so many we grew up with. Hard for me to fathom.

In the next 10 years...some of us may even see our OWN deaths. :(

If you are an Eagles fan of the 70's, as I am, go to youtube sometime and search for an Eagles concert in Largo Md. It is in good quality and shows the band with Meissner, Frey, Henley, Walsh, and Felder. The vocals and guitar work are great.

Apparently it was the pneumonia that led to his death. According to Bob Segar, they had 8 different specialist working on him, they even put him in a medically induced coma. Segar claims that about a month ago, the doctors gave up.

I saw the Eagle at the Irvine Spectrum for their Hell Freezes Over tour. Also, saw Fry and Walsh together back in 1993 in Pensacola Fl. RIP Glen.

[Dahoss2002]

Too soon............. One of my favorite groups as a youngster. Got to see them live in Shreveport 1976 or 77 when I was about 15. Tickets were 6 or 7 dollars. Damn time flies!!! RIP Glen!

[Grits]

On CNN, I've watched, tonight, the 3 hour documentary, The History of the Eagles. At the end, was added, "In memoriam of Glenn Lewis Frey" with his date of birthday and death.

"Again, RIP, Glenn Frey. For over four decades, you changed the sound and the face of music, among your greatest accolades, the writing and creating of the largest selling album of the entire 20th century, Hell Freezes Over." <3

[raybo]

Saw the Eagles at the Shell in Honolulu back in the 70's, with Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Brown. Best concert ever for me! The Eagles and the Doobies, loved that kind of music!

Rest well my friend!!!!!

67 is too young. RIP

In my case, I hope you're right. Hmmm - I think I'm 67 anyway? :bang:

[DRIVEWAY]

How many lines and how many beers can a 67yr old consume lifetime without affecting their lifespan? :(

[Grits]

Driveway, maybe it was simply his time. When fighting chronic illness, as we know, one is in far greater danger when pneumonia comes, infecting our lungs and heart. Their ability to deliver oxygen to our organs. :(

If our time here was based solely on our choices or addictions (if we have the latter) fellow band member, Joe Walsh, would've been dead decades ago. It was Frey that got Walsh into rehab.

I think the human body is amazingly resilient, and everyone has to thank god for that. Pneumonia often can be seen way too close in any ICU when you have someone close to you and watch several who did not make it out of the ICU and all having a few things in common.

1.) Smokers give Doctors much less to work with, generally speaking, many times people are making more carbon monoxide than oxygen.

2.) Often Pneumonia is beat with drugs, but the second Pneumonia that comes along is very resistant to drugs.

RIP Glenn Frey

Yep.

By that standard, Pete Townsend (daily bottles of Courvoisier) & Keith Richards (booze, smack & marijuana) should have been dead 50x over! :eek:

Maybe it was his time. However, his lifestyle choices are more than likely to have affected his lifespan.

Compare to family members who live healthy lives and pass judgement.

As far as Joe Walsh is concerned, similar comparisons will shed light as to his longevity.

Let's hope Joe overcomes.

I love the Eagles. And too, this man. For me, the greatest gift the state of Oklahoma has ever given us--singer/songwriter/guitarist/multi platinum artist/20 time Grammy winner--Vince Gill sings, Peaceful Easy Feeling, paying tribute to his long time friend, Glenn Frey.

He's aged. He's put on pounds, not as handsome as years ago, but the voice--its there, along with his hallmark gentleness.

Excepting our own CJ, and of course OU football, I agree!

[MutuelClerk]

They are trying to get the city council in Royal Oak MI to re-name a street Glenn Frey Drive. Hope it happens...
