Eagles Have Been Lipsyncing For Years

Post by SterileEyes1 »

I don’t believe I’ve seen anyone mention this at Sludge?

Saw them (for the first time, finally) in 2022 and then one more time last March. I knew they at minimum had a ton of autotune going on and just sort of figured “Fuck it, they’re 75, let them have a bumper bowling victory lap” but even I wasn’t cynical enough to consider that they were straight up miming the whole thing.

Milli Vanilli, ok. Hell, any dance pop artist, ok. Kiss? Not cool but at least there’s blood and shit blowing up and stuff. The fucking Eagles? Nah man. That’s fucked up. I went down the the rabbit hole with this and it turns out this has been SOP for several years now, possibly as far back as 2018.

And of course, just like Kiss, they’ve got some brainwashed hardcore fans convinced that either it isn’t true or it’s not a big deal that the fucking Eagles aren’t really singing.

F them. Live shows should be live, warts and all. If they cant do it anymore,close up shop.

I thought the point of bringing in Vince Gill was the fact that he could still sing, but wouldn't surprise me if Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit couldn't get it done anymore.

The second video says Gill and Frey’s son are singing live, Walsh is singing 90% live except for some high notes … but apparently Henley is lip syncing everything.

Idk … last time I saw Henley without the Eagles he could still sing as good as he ever could.

I was surprised to see this.... but I guess henley has really lost his voice and gone the Roger Waters route.

embarrassing .... he has more money than God, so why bother doing this if you no longer can? ( i know, rhetorical question)

I love the technical analysis here, this guy is awesome. I'd like to see 10 performances overlaid and results from some kind of statistical SW that gives a matching % between the takes (this may not exist), and if the match is higher then let's say 95% then you know it's 100% horseshiite.

Henley is a piece of shit. Check this out:

https://www.billboard.com/business/lega ... 235624765/

Tried to have three guys thrown in prison by claiming they stole the original lyric sheet to Hotel California.

They didn't - he'd given a bunch of lyrics sheets to someone writing a book about the Eagles. He'd bought some of them back, but I guess he didn't want to pay anymore.

Then he hid evidence that he knew they weren't stolen the whole time. Judge tossed the case when he found out.

that Felder vid someone posted yesterday is embarrassing.

I don’t understand why anyone would even sit in the crowd for free.

The Ace stuff doesn’t sound good but at least it’s real.

Henley being an asshole is fifty year old news. Frey was just as bad. I don't think a whole lot of tears were shared when he died.

It's more embarrassing that somebody took that much time out of their day to analyze if Don Henley was really singing on not. Who gives a shit? These people are acting like they're solving the JFK assassination.

We should stick to important matters, like Gene Simmons' wig.
