Death In Vegas

In addition to the above, they have also released a compilation album, as part of the Back to Mine series of albums. See Winslow, Arizona for a unique tribute to The Eagles' song "Take It Easy". Death in Vegas have produced four studio albums. Shortly before their "Farwell Tour I" in 2002, Don Felder was fired from the group. The duo were to have produced rock band Oasis's sixth album, but other commitments meant they had to pull out. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001. Fearless and Holmes have since decided to create their own label, Drone Records. Several subsequent reunion tours would follow, noted for their record-setting ticket prices.

Death in Vegas had signed to the Concrete Records label in 1994, but parted company from Concrete ten years later, after the release of their third album, Scorpio Rising. In 1998, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and during the induction ceremony, all seven former members played together on stage. Another song, Girls, is featured on the Lost in Translation soundtrack. Controversy followed on September 12, 1996 when the band dedicated "Peaceful Easy Feeling" to Saddam Hussein at a United States Democratic Party fundraiser held in Los Angeles. The track Dirge featured in a Levi jeans advert, and the song Hands Around My Throat has been used in a 2004 commercial for Sony Ericsson. That tour spawned a live album entitled Hell Freezes Over (after a quote from Henley who said that the group would get back together only when Hell froze over) and a single, "Get Over It". Death in Vegas' songs have been used elsewhere. Travis Tritt insisted on having the Long Run-era Eagles in his video for "Take It Easy." After that video was complete in 1994 that the band, after years of speculation, reunited.

After the release of Dead Elvis, Helier left the band, and was replaced by Holmes. During the early 1990s, an Eagles country tribute album Common Thread was released. Objections from the estate of Elvis Presley forced the band into changing name to the current one; Dead Elvis was instead used as the name of their debut album. Following The Long Run tour, in 1980, the band went on hiatus, and all of them had solo careers of varying degrees of success. The band, originally called Dead Elvis, was formed in 1994, and consisted of Fearless and Steve Helier. Henley was also subsequently charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The band's style is that of pop rock with a techno, weird dub, psychedelic and industrial sound combination that some call dance-rock. The tour to promote the album intensified personality differences between the band members, made worse when on the night of November 21, 1980, Henley was arrested when cocaine, Quaaludes, and marijuana were found in his hotel room after a nude 16 year old prostitute had drug-related seizures.

Death in Vegas is a United Kingdom band, currently consisting of Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes. That album took two years to make, but yielded the group's fifth and last #1 single in Billboard, "Heartache Tonight" (November 10, 1979). Mmm – Donna. In February 1978, the Eagles went into the studio to produce their final studio album, The Long Run. 14. Schmit (born October 30, 1947). Joy Division – Decades. The Eagles replaced Meisner with the man who had succeeded him in Poco, Timothy B.

13. During the final leg of the ensuing tour, however, Randy Meisner decided he'd had enough hotel rooms in his seven years as an Eagle and left the band for the relative quiet of Nebraska to recuperate and instigate a solo career. Piero Piccioni - Psychedelic Mood. Using California as a metaphor for the nation, the Eagles wrote about innocence ("New Kid in Town", a #1 hit in Billboard on February 26, 1977) and temptations ("Life In The Fast Lane" and the title track, a #1 hit in Billboard on May 7, 1977) of that pursuit. 12. The group's next album, Hotel California in 1976, was about the pursuit of the American dream, 1970s style. Au Pairs - Headache for Michelle. By this time, the personalities inside the band would start clashing with each other, and there were plenty of inter-band fights.

11. The title track from One of These Nights hit #1 on the Billboard chart August 2, 1975. Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane. The addition of Walsh made the group's aim perfectly clear: they wanted to rock. 10. The group replaced Leadon with Joe Walsh (born November 20, 1947), a veteran of such groups as the James Gang and Barnstorm and a solo artist in his own right. Bo Diddley - Elephant Man. Between the album and the subsequent tour, Bernie Leadon left the group because he was disillusioned about the direction the band's music was taking.

9. Their next album, One of These Nights, had an aggressive, sinewy rock stance. Sam Gopal -The Sky Is Burning. On the Border yielded a #1 Billboard single in the song "Best of My Love", which hit the top on March 1, 1975. 8. Two days later, Felder became the fifth Eagle. Dillard & Clark - Polly. Szymczyk brought in Don Felder (born September 21, 1948 in Topanga, California) to add slide guitar to a song called "Good Day in Hell", and the band was blown away.

7. After completing two thirds of the album with Johns, the band turned to Bill Szymczyk to produce the rest of the album. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Nashville Blues. The band wanted to rock, but Johns tended to extract the lush side of the band's double-edged music. 6. To record their third album, On the Border, the group selected producer Glyn Johns, who had previously worked with Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. Songs: Ohia - Soul. Their first album, Eagles, was filled with pure, sometimes innocent country rock; their second, Desperado, was themed on Old West outlaws and introduced the group's penchant for conceptual songwriting.

5. The Eagles backed up Ronstadt on a two-month tour, then decided to become a band on their own. Nina Simone - My Sweet Lord. They were short a drummer until Frey phoned Henley, a musician he'd met at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. 4. The band formed in 1971 when Linda Ronstadt's then-manager, John Boylan, extracted Frey, Leadon, and Meisner from their affiliations. Gene Clark and the Godsin Brothers - Only Colombe. Bassist Randy Meisner (born March 8, 1946 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska) was a car and cycle buff who preferred spending time with his family to playing bass in a rock and roll band.

3. Guitarist/mandolinist/banjo player Bernie Leadon (born July 19, 1947, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) had a passion for country and bluegrass that shaped the band's early direction. Fad Gadget - Back to Nature. Drummer Don Henley (born July 22, 1947 in Gilmer, Texas) was nearly a college graduate, majoring in English literature. 2. Guitarist/keyboardist Glenn Frey (born November 6, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) escaped Michigan's cold winters and musically stultifying frat and bar scene, bringing a rhythm and blues heritage. The Upsetters - Cloak and Dagger. Not one of the four group founders was a Californian by birth.

1. On later albums the band dispensed with bluegrass instrumentation and gravitated to a more straight-ahead rock sound. 16 (February 2004)
