Deacon Frey - lead and backing vocals

Deacon Frey sings less lead vocals compared to Vince Gill. Proof can be found here, the live album is basically the setlist mostly unchanged since they started again:

Change The Eagles to Eagles 195.180.30.89 (talk) 19:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: This has been a topic of substantial discussion and the consensus is to include "The". Please look through the archives of this page (linked at the top of this page) if you would like to read those discussions. Tollens (talk) 10:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The band is licensed as Eagles. To change the name to The Eagles would create an entirely different musical group and that group could not use music copyrighted by and licensed to the legal band called, Eagles. Some of you people are ignorant to laws. 2600:8805:C03:800:D90E:24DD:F44F:853F (talk) 17:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The eagles playing at the sphere

This article should probably reflect that the sphere is saying the eagles are coming to play there 208.95.78.188 (talk) 16:59, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eagles are Not playing the Sphere, which is a venue for stage Productions, like plays. It isn't suitable for bands and music. The production at the Sphere is highly illegal, since it uses Eagles music, images, band logo, copyrighted album art and concert footage that are All protected under US laws. The illegal production is not promoted by Eagles, who only perform live. They have never charged their fans money to watch a video. Until recently, Eagles didn't even know someone is trying to earn money off of their copyright protected and licensed material. And, the website eagles.com is not an official website. Someone or many really really messed up the article on Eagles because they don't know the band or the musicians . . . And Wikipedia, it is against international laws to post or publish false information and/or to violate copyright, trademark, patent on the Internet, which was intended to be a research tool, not a slam book. This is what your wide open free editing allowed. 2600:8805:C03:800:D90E:24DD:F44F:853F (talk) 17:34, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meisner not dead

musician Randy Meisner is not dead. That is fake news and there is a fake funeral home website with a fake obituary about a Randy Meisner who is not the musician Randy Meisner. I think that funeral home has the man in Ohio but the musician is nowhere near Ohio. The musician is retired and living somewhere in or near the Appalachian mountains . . . because I know his people. 2600:8805:C03:800:D90E:24DD:F44F:853F (talk) 17:22, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
