Now Guitar Hero: World Tour players who are also fans of classic rock with a steel guitar flair can get to jamming with the following tunes from one of the most drama filled bands in history. I say that with all honestly and fact too, so don’t yell at me if you like The Eagles and feel like I am dissing your band.
The Eagles Track Pack is going to run you the usual 440 Microsoft Points ($5.50) and includes the songs “One of These Nights”, “Frail Grasp on the Big Picture”, and ‘Life in the Fast Lane”. Like previous track packs before this, you can download each song individually for 160 Microsoft Points ($2.00) but it if you like all three it is best to save the extra dollar and just get the track pack.
Now that we got that out of the way, speaking of The Eagles, who is better: Don Henley or Glenn Frey? Even if you do not like The Eagles, you have to have some sort of preference because they were both also solo artists and have bombarded radio stations for generations. So, if you were being tortured by masochistic kidnappers, and they were to force you to listen to one of the two, which one would you pick? There are no wrong answers, but like with most things on the internet, your preference will be ridiculed by the masses should anyone state their opinion on this.
Personally, I would prefer Don Henley, because Glenn Frey’s “Smuggler’s Blues” and “The Heat is On” drive me around the twist.
Wasn’t “the heat is on” played on beverly hills cop?
DON HENLEY of course! His work is way finer than Mr. Frey’s stuff. Henley has an unprecedented way with words. He’s a lyric-genius, even other lyricists admit. His body of work is outstanding….stuff he wrote for the Eagles, stuff he wrote for himself. Then there’s that voice of his. It’s not easy to sing lead vocals (that well, too) and play drums at the same time as other musicians have stated. His talent knows no bounds.
Hooray for Dawn! And yes, blah, it was from that movie.
