Here's an Eagles tune you don't hear often (at least I don't)

On The Border:

On The Border:

Eagles - 'On the Border' (lyrics in description) - YouTube

Great memory

Also rarely heard

Wasted time (and the reprise)

James Dean

Dueling Dalton's

Old 55

Victim of love

All great eagles tunes

I remember being in Acapulco in 1974. Got back to my hotel late one night and On the Border was playing in the hotel lobby. It was all young people working in the hotel, and they were dancing and getting down like crazy.
 
Well I guess I'm showing my age, but the band that took me from the early rock like Elvis, Buddy Holly, etc. into the more modern rock, came over in the Beatle invasion, who I also like, and that was the Yardbirds. They went through several phases first with the Blues and Eric Clapton, then the screaming guitar of Jeff Beck and finally the pre Led Zep of Jimmie Page. Saw them live during the Five Live Yardbirds era with both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page playing together. I followed all three guitarists after each left the group.

Tough one.. I am a guitar freak so my choices always center around the Guitarist which would mean Zeppelin with Jimmy Page or Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler.. But neither of those are my all time favorite..Eddie Van Halen has to be a mention.. fucking balls to the wall on a guitar but not my favorite once again..

I gotta give it to Zeppelin.. Hard to find any competition that outranks LZ in guitar but AC/DC is up there for me as my all time fav along with GNR

Sorry folks but I think you have missed the point...this is the Greatest Guitarist now in his 80's........[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuyrY--vs3U]Ernest Ranglin - Surfin' - YouTube[/ame]

Ernest Ranglin.....I first met as child way back in 1965, in Kingston,Jamaica and met him again in Fremantle,Western Australia in 2010.......He is not only a brilliant muso but a fine man indeed....his "Order of Distinction" CD,recorded circa 2010 in collaboration with many world class musicians is very fine indeed,his "Straight Flush" with Robbie Krieger(from the Doors fame) is truly superb as is the whole albumn...... if you have never heard of Ernest Ranglin.....check him out,he has made over 50 LP's/CD's

Just lay back and ENJOY.....Music is the food of Love


You will not be disappointed in any of his era's of music from the 50's to present day........but you could be a little miffed that you had never heard of him before...steve

Don't even address me here .. I don't have the first fucking clue who you are but you come to my page and trash me.. I don't care what music you like and what music you don't like..
 
Someone mentioned that Skynard's Freebird is a classic and I have to agree. Some other classics that are a tribute to "irresponsible behaviour":

Actually kind of boring. I like reggae and this is OK, but Tosh is better. As far as 80 year old guitarists go, you would be hard pressed to beat this old cat!
