This interview was worth watching, in spite of Howard's incessant penchant to interrupt his subject. Time and again, he stepped on Felder's answers, just when Don was about to give us the "good stuff".
HOWARD SEEMS TO WANT TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION CONTOVERSIAL AND MOVING FOR INTEREST SAKE OF THE LISTENERS. BUT FINISHING ANOTHER'S SENTENCES AND INJECTING ANOTHER QUESTION BEFORE GIVING ONE TIME TO FULLY ANSWER IS TOTALLY ANNOYING, BUT IT ALSO IMPLIES THAT HOWARD HAS "CONTROL" ISSUES OR ADD. NEVERTHELESS HIS SHOWS DREW "FOOLS" LIKE MYSELF INTO THE WEB OF INTEREST.

Don Felder is amazing. His book is a great read. It's sad that Henley and Frey drove him out, but the quest for money, power and control often ruin the most beautiful things.
I concur. To my thinking, he not only gave them a more rock image, but he pulled out the best from the massive songwriting talent that kept the Eagles on the charts for so many years.
hotel is amazing acoustic piece plus electric plus great lyrical tale, ..see them dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat some dance to remember some dance to forget.. ..she got the Mercedes Benz, she gotta lotta pretty pretty boys, she calls friends.. 🤷🏼
Yes , You are so on point with that , The More I listen to him now , The more I hate Frey and Henley ( as egotistic humans ) but Love their artistic writing !
@@imtheman4805 You must be a paid shill for Smith because that is totally false. Smith is nothing more than an ok substitute live in Felder's place. Accept no substitutes. Felder is superior in every respect and co-wrote several of the Eagles classics.
God bless you Don ...you always elevate yourself above the Frey...( and the Henley) ....such a classy and talented guy ...thank you for your input to the Eagles ...they certainly wouldn't have been as successful without you ...I guess they didn't recognize the value of a team player
I agree, I think it’s because Stern is a serial interrupter and always tries to make the interview about him. In addition, at best, Sterns knowledge of the interviewee is sketchy. Don Felder however is a quality act.
Yes, he is holding his guitar... did he actually play at this interview or did Stern take up too much time?? Or maybe there was another part I missed ?
Felder is an exemplar of the perfect phrases the perfect lines that it's unimaginable how else his choice of guitar lead lines could be played. A very thoughtful dude.
Howard starts out asking a question, explaining the question, then he answers his own question and Don Felder says "That's right." So why does Felder even have to show up?
Just my guess but I'd bet not only did Felder get a huge backpay settlement but he still gets paid to this day even though he's not in the band. The judge may have ruled that the LLC the Eagles created, where all members who signed that agreement had an equal share of the earnings, was never legally dissolved and still valid.
Yes he does, he was a full partner in his contract ...but was being shorted on ticket and memorability sales ! That's what got it all started Henley and Frye wasn't paying him his fair share of profits
@@hoz49⁹ He settled, and you can bet your life he wouldn't have shorted himself just because he's a nice guy. Plus he's undoubtedly still collecting royalties from ASCAP.
In fairness, I've heard stories that Henley did call Felder up and ask him to play on his solo tours, and Felder turned them down, so we'll never know at this point. I do wish that Felder and Glenn had been able to at least patch it up before Glenn passed away.
Wow loved the Eagles to death but I sure have a whole different slant on Frey and Henley .No wonder they took a 14 year vacation. We are here for us screw you
Really agree with the comments regarding the constant interruptions by the interviewers spoiling the whole thing. Don was probably too polite to tell them to shut it
Don Felder your book was incredible!! Its obvious Stern didnt read it, hes an idiot!! Your book was incredible!! And im soooo glad that you told your truth!!! I will FOREVER BE YOUR SUPPORTER!! I LOVE YOU, DON FELDER!!
Stern is obviously a superior kind of asshole when it comes to interrupting, but his lady assistant is no slouch herself in that department. They're clearly a well-matched couple.
Feldner is a gentleman. I still have the utmost respect for the man. His revelations of his recollections of debauchery saddens me, because I thought he was stronger in morals. Ill get over my high expectations of my view of him. He will always be at the top of my most highly regarded guitarist, all around mucisicians singer, song writing stage perfoermers that I've been influenced by. Not so much in the morality faithful. God bless Don Feldner. Hes made a mark on countless lives. His music will live for a multitude of generations if not forever, and how Long is that?
@@adamdorgant9454 Don F. wrote in his book that he and Joe used to call Henley & Frey „The board of directors“ or simply „The Gods“ when they talked about the dictators 😁
Quite a few major rock and roll players from Gainesville. Steven Stills, Don Felder, Tom Petty, and definitely a few more. I lived there for undergrad and was amazed what a rural town it is at heart. Beautiful place and part of the "real south" unlike south Florida.
I like this guy...and I love his playing....I'm glad he's cool....sometimes your favorite artists can really let you down when you listen to who they are when they're not playing....nice.
What an amazing group of stories. Stern does talk over Felder too much. Can't go back 15 years and redo this interview. Hotel California wasn't just a hit, it hit at the pinnacle of, and helped make, the greatest of California mythology. And Henley did write some fantastic lyrics to a genius guitar part. And also played some amazing drums as well.
It speaks volumes of the hell Frey and Henley unleashed in the band that Leaden and Meisner would give up full partnerships in The Eagles to get the hell out of there.
I'm going to guess that Glenn Frey and Don Henley took more of the profits but also had to pay out more in bills and such. They probably wanted to do that so they were responsible of the business end of the band so everyone would get along and egos wouldn't keep going. The other guys agreed but Don Felder. He wanted everyone to be 100% equal. Unfortunately (even Don Henley has said) that it's Glenn's band, its always been Glenn's band.
we all know hollywood is full of world class A holes. this was about 20 years ago in a poll of waiters waitresses and bartenders in hollywood/LA glen frey and don henley were voted the two biggest A holes to deal with. now that takes being an A hole to a different level
You obviously missed the part where Felder was the business and financial manager of the band but was not allowed to perform as such by Frey and Henley. They withheld financial info and cheated the other members out of what was rightfully theirs. Guess all you want but the truth is out there. @@aaronwestfall751
I am a Felder fan but they made 3 incredible albums before he joined so that’s not true. Don’t you like Desperado, Take it Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, The Best of My Love, etc
Felder really toughened up the Eagles sound. Before Felder,the Eagles were sharing bills with Black Oak Arkansas and the Stampeders. After he joined, they were selling out arenas. He turned them into the supergroup they became.
Felder is such an amazing, tasteful musician. His contributions to the Eagles shouldn’t be overlooked his playing was so melodic and memorable. His solo in One Of These Nights is one of my favorite guitar moments ever
@@2v_5r84 Incredible? Not really. They were good, solid records but not incredible. On the Border is very underrated. Felder actually played on Already Gone and the slide guitar on Good Day in Hell.
In the midst of Don providing pertinent and fascinating information that answers the question we’re all wondering about, Howard interrupts to ask him about getting laid. Ugh.
These were the best times on the show. This era. The interviews of this era were better. Nowadays, it's Gwyneth Paltrow and other celebrities that stern fans don't care about.
Hotel California is the song that separates them. It even makes the other songs they wrote earlier more definable. It makes the group somewhat ”devilish”. It brings everything together in some sense. Even King of Hollywood would never had been written without it. It has the aura of another side of California, the ”dark side”. Great song, great lyrics. Kudos to Felder AND Frey+Henley for writing it. //Niclas from 🇸🇪
Don has NEVER gotten his just rewards regarding his musical ability.He is fantastic in person . Just seems like a class act every time I seen him. Give Frey and Henley credit that was probably their smartest move ever. Love the Eagles but they were BETTER with Don in the band . 😊Is there anyone left on the planet that hasn’t listened to Hotel California solo of Walsh and Henley, Best ever … run through your mind for days after you hear any of it . Keep on Trucking Don !!!
Oh god, Kansas City! It's been a long time since I've been there but I saw more drugs in that town than I've ever seen anywhere else and I lived in California.
No one in the band questioned whether Felder was a great player and played historic solos on their great songs, including Hotel California. Glenn Frey made it pretty clear in an interview that I saw that Felder wanted equal royalties share and Frey didnt want to give it to him, since he didn't write the songs. Now, you can argue how important historic lead solos are to songs, I understand that. But I also understand a writer not feeling he needed to share a straight percentage with a non-writer. This is how bands get wrecked frequently, over royalty splits.
Nowhere is it said this was about royalties but rather about the contract to share equally the income generated by the Band! This was not about royalties but about a legal agreement that was not followed by Frey and Henley!
In 1975 I saw Rufus, the Eagles and the Rolling Stones in Kansas City at Arrow Head Stadium. Felder talks of meeting Keith Richards in Kansas City there but not playing with them. Well, he must be mistaken...I still have the ticket stub.
Don is the musician’s musician. All about the song and playing your instrument well. No hang ups and really sweet. I’m sure there’s a side to him that’s uncompromising, just like any musician who’s good at their craft. I’ve recorded and toured with so many bands and musicians, so I know that even though Frey and Henley were notorious curmudgeons, there are probably a lot of things Felder left out. Nobody is a saint in any band.
If only Howard would let Felder finish his stories….So much more could be brought up. Classic Howard Stern
Howie is a horrible interviewer. Constantly interrupting, making every interview about himself.
I went straight to the comments to see if anyone else wanted Howard to stfu
This is the first (and last) time I have ever clicked on a Stern interview. What an ass. His crassness is only exceeded by his ignorance.
Yeah, I can't watch this. I switched to an interview by Dan Rather. He asked a question and then shut up and let DF answer it. I'm out.
Stories??? Let him finish a bleeping SENTENCE!!! Brutally awfully interviewer, Howard Stern.
God, I wish Howard would shut up and let Don talk!
Yep, reminds me of Larry King, had to say something while his guest was trying to answer his previous question.
He's like that in all his interviews
It isn't him, it's that ghastly woman!
Great story Glenn paid the ultimate price to get out of the band allot of tension playing in a band and this is only one side of the story
You are spot on this guy would've been a great interview if not for HS
Don Felder. Such humility. A true gentleman.
Seems like a great guy to hang out with.
@@panderson9561 True!!!!
Without knowing Don, he seems to be a kind person who's also very down to earth.

Good Grief Howard let Felder speak. . . Stop interrupting the guy! I want to hear what he has to say
I know right!!!!
Don Felder is a legend. His music is amazing and I saw him with the Eagles and he was the Man .
Agreed!!!!
The Eagles would have never hit their Apex hadn’t they added Felder to the band. Don Felder is the man
Sorry Joe Walsh made them a rockin band
@@Christopher-jk9bjyeah ok….
Both of these things are true.

Don Henley is simply evil.

sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember

Classic Felder - he has the most class of any of The Eagles (Timothy B. Schmidt is also in that same league).
Yes , You are so on point with that , The More I listen to him now , The more I hate Frey and Henley ( as egotistic humans ) but Love their artistic writing !
Randy Meisner ????
True!!!!
except his name is Timothy Schmit.

Not another spelling nazi...
The book by Felder is FANTASTIC! I’m convinced he is the kind of guy who was fed up and would never treat them the way he was treated.
Just bought the book this morning and plan to binge read the entire book this afternoon.
Felder became famous keeping Steuart Smith’s guitar in tune
Smith wrote music to Hotel California
@@imtheman4805 That is total b.s. Felder wrote Hotel California and is a much better guitarist than Steuart Smith.
@@imtheman4805 You must be a paid shill for Smith because that is totally false. Smith is nothing more than an ok substitute live in Felder's place. Accept no substitutes. Felder is superior in every respect and co-wrote several of the Eagles classics.
Don Henley, and Glenn Frey were complete assholes to the rest of the band
Glenn Frey never got over the fact that he wasn't the songwriter Jackson Browne was.
God bless you Don ...you always elevate yourself above the Frey...( and the Henley) ....such a classy and talented guy ...thank you for your input to the Eagles ...they certainly wouldn't have been as successful without you ...I guess they didn't recognize the value of a team player
So happy Don gives Steuart Smith all the credit for writing all those great Eagles hits
I have so much admiration for don Felder he is a humble man
Don Felder is criminally underrated. Great talent.
Amazing guitarist !!!!
complaints fly when word underrated enters commentland..
@@davido4425True!!!!!
That’s why they all call him Don Felon cause he ripped off Jethro Tull
@@imtheman4805 What Jethro Tull material did he rip off?
Bigtime props to Don. Great interview confirming many thoughts & dispelling others. HEAVY METAL made you my favorite EAGLE!! Worth a rewatch !!!
Best thing about Stern is when he shuts up

Yes indeed!!!!
He ripped off Hotel California from Jethro Tull
Don Felder taught Tom Petty guitar wow
I know Right!!!!
Don Felder and Joe Walsh. No one is more fun to watch on stage than these two masters!
Don has a beautiful smile, sweet humble man, and so talented. I can't stand Howard Stern though. Ugh.

Don Felder however is a quality act.
Lol
I can't stand him either!
Don Felder is a Class Act. Not to mention extremely talented. Wish Howard would close his trap.
Yes, he is holding his guitar... did he actually play at this interview or did Stern take up too much time?? Or maybe there was another part I missed ?
Howard could have asked Don to play that beautiful custom Taylor guitar.
no one wants to hear or see Howard play guitar, Sparky.
The part i love most is when Don acknowledges Stephen Stills a genius!
I thought so too a long time ago
Totally agree. One of the shining lights of an era of truly great music.
Felder is an exemplar of the perfect phrases the perfect lines that it's unimaginable how else his choice of guitar lead lines could be played. A very thoughtful dude.
One of these nights, The Eagles best song
Howard starts out asking a question, explaining the question, then he answers his own question and Don Felder says "That's right." So why does Felder even have to show up?
What a wonderful man, no ego and so honest
What a wonderful interview. The genius behind dueling guitars in Hotel California.
Just my guess but I'd bet not only did Felder get a huge backpay settlement but he still gets paid to this day even though he's not in the band.

Henley was greedy for all the money and Glenn Frey was jealous
Yes indeed!!!!
Henley and Frey were viciously withholding.
Henley and Frey thought the others worked for them. They went backwards when Felder left.
Yes Howard. He taught Tom Petty how to play guitar.
Now can we let Don move on with the interview?

How he is still so damn handsome??
That is exactly what I thought.
Felder seems like a humble and level headed guy. Loved them since "Take It Easy". I have a completely different view of the Eagles now.
Watch on Wings of Pegasus the lip-syncing analysis of the Eagles live performances of today.
