From iconic rock journalist Mick Wall comes the definitive account
of America's best-selling band of all time--who have sold more
records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones
combined--exploring the hedonistic days of the '70s music scene in
LA, their ruthless, meteoric rise to fame, and the dark truths
beneath their musical façade of peaceful, easy feelings. "Surely
make you lose your mind..." So the Eagles warn us about the
outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock-n-roller.
In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to the track "Life in the
Fast Lane" when they were recording it. He was so high that it made
him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with
globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost
supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting
betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies,
brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in
the road behind them. The Eagles' story is a truly gothic American
fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs
at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal
living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public
while threatening to kill each other in private. Now, legendary
rock journalist Mick Wall delivers definitive insight into
America's best-selling band of all time, a band that has sold more
records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined,
exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of
the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the
world.
