...The eagles were playing at Stormont in Belfast 2 weeks ago and i thought nothing off it,i am a big Eagles fan but i am not paying £35 a head to see The Eagles or anyone else. The thing about the Eagles is the fact that their music hasnt really changed over what about 25-30years now,so i thought i would take a look at their new album called no less THe Eagles Hits. The album has been out before but under the name The best of the Eagles or an other named The hits.I may be wrong and if i am correct me but i believe the Eagles album out now is their 3rd Hits album and they all contain mainly the same songs that being.. Take it Easy Peaceful easy feeling Desperado Tequila sunrise Best of my love Lyin eyes Take it to the limit One of those nights Hotel california New kid in town Off course their is nothing...

...As MGM finished the 60s they watched their competitors scoring large hits, while all of their big budget releases faltered at the box office. 1968's 'Where Eagles Dare' hauled the studio up by it's jackboot straps and scored a massive hit all over the globe. Produced by the British production arm of MGM based at the now defunct Borehamwood Studios, Alistair Macleans original screenplay leapt onto the screen boasting an accomplished cast, a tonne of hardware, and locations and setpieces to set the hair on end. For all of the above though, 'Where Eagles Dare' is far from being a great film. Director Brian G Hutton, who would reteam with Eastwood and World War II for 'Kelly's Heroes', struggles with the epic length of the film, and fails to unravel the absurd complexities of Macleans screenplay. A crack team of allied soldiers... Read review

...This is a review of the newly released double album 'Long Road Out Of Eden'. The packaging I got this in at HMV says that this is a Special Edition. The Eagles are an American group originally formed in California, USA in the 1970's. They have had a number of previous hit singles and albums, with the album 'Hotel California' being perhaps their best known work, with an eponymous single as well as 'Desperado', 'The Long Run' and 'Takin' It Easy' amongst other. The Eagles took what they said was a 14 year vacation (from each other, as well) and have toured since they reformed in the 1990's. It is 28 years since their last studio album and now one has been released (actually two this is a double album). (On a side note, why is the album cover all sepia tones of brown like some 1973 throwback? And why on earth is it only... Read review

Advantages: A must for Eagles Fans everywhere
Disadvantages: No Don Felder

...Since the advent of digital media,many concerts from various artists made the crossover from video to dvd but this concert featuring The Eagles at their best is way above the sound quality one would expect from a live recording.I had wanted to see this gig for a long time and once I loaded the disc,I spent 2 and a half hours being mesmerised by pure gold.There is no doubt about it,after over 35 years these guys can still rock. The first thing that amazed me was the quality of the picture,,there is so much clarity you feel as if you could just reach out and grab a guitar yourself and start jamming along.The overall sound too is just as breathtaking,with each members harmonies coming through so clearly that you can see just how much work goes into the songs that Eagles fans everywhere have listened to for generations. The concert begins... Read review
