Glen Frey Died

[p4pking]

I read the obituary in my local paper today, every singe entry moved me considerably more than this does. Of course I don't wish suffering on anyone, but if it has to be someone, any member of the Eagles is better than your average person for me. Man they were poop.

great band, also Buffin the drummer for Mott the Hoople died on Sunday night as well

I'm more gutted about Buffin, I fucking love Mott the Hoople.

i say we get a super band going

Drums - Buffin
Bass - Lemmy
Lead guitar - Glenn Frey
Vocal + rythm guitar - David Bowie

that would have been pretty interesting

My band, (I don't play much anymore) but see used to play quite a few eagles songs. They were relatively easy to play and people enjoyed hearing them. Frey definitely put his name in the books, rip.

I fail to see how anybody dying is ever a good thing.
Here's an interesting take on Frey's death.


You mourned David Bowie, but you mock Glenn Frey. Why? | Music | The Guardian

@TitoFan , I'm not going to read that article, and I agree nobody should mock Glen frey directly(even if maybe I did) If you don't personally know someone, then you're only going to mourn them if something they did or put out there in life moved you or people around you, otherwise it's no different than anyone else dying anywhere. I'm not a huge Bowie fan, but he was undeniably innovative and talented, and I enjoyed listening to his music. The Eagles? Yeah right.

I feel a sense of sadness (mourning is stronger and is reserved for friends and family) when any famous musician dies.
Slightly less so when it's a rapper.
