Book Reviews of Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)
Book Review: "I can't complain, but sometimes I still do."
Summary: 3 Stars
Yeah, I know it's a Joe Walsh line, but it fits this book perfectly.
After joining the Eagles, it doesn't take long for Felder to start realizing (real or imagined) that he's getting the shaft from Messrs. Frey and Henley. Apparently the royalties from "Hotel California" and other tunes are enough to pacify him for a while, however.
Finally, when he stands up to them, they do the expected and fire him. It's interesting how the other two "sidemen" (Walsh and Schmidt) don't back him up at all (lest they put their own positions in peril) and implore him to just enjoy the ride, but it's too late by then.
Along the way there are some interesting stories but not really enough to keep this book afloat. If you're not a hardcore Eagles fan, I'd skip it.
