Joe Walsh blows Felder's fenders off. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Whoever is playing all the little lead fills in "New Kid in Town" is my favorite Eagles guitarist. I honestly don't know. But I just love the harmonies of Frey, Henley, and Meisner....for the me the Eagles are all about great songwriting and killer harmonies. The great guitar work is icing on the cake. ------------- |

Interesting, thanks...both were super musicians, no doubt. And while I know Long Run was an awful time for them, I like that album more all the time. Though I miss Randy. ------------- |

Both very good players but Joe has certainly done far more over the years. Felder never really went on to do much after he was booted out of the Eagles. I was lucky enough to have seen Walsh with the James Gang in late 1970 at Indiana University in Bloomington IN....great show. Joe wrote some good songs with the Eagles but liked his solo things better. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Eagles 1974....live ...with Felder doing Good Day In Hell.... doing the lead on One of These Nights.... Didn't post the classic double lead by them both on the live Hotel California....since we have all prolly seen it many times.  Ah..hell I might as well post it........ ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Voted Don Felder, because the question was about the guitarist. Though Joe Walsh is the better (or more important) singer and songwriter. ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

And why do you think he's the better guitarist...? Felder, other than with the Eagles and Hotel California, has not really show us what he can do while Walsh has had many fine leads over the years on many albums. btw...I do like Felder's work with the Eagles but I don't see him as being 'better' than Walsh. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Ahh, I don't know their solo works. I only know them with the Eagles. Both are great guitarists, but I like Felder's solo's a bit more. You posted some good examples above  ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

You might want to listen to Walsh's 'Smoker' album and his work with James Gang. He's a very versatile guitarist while Felder seems to have only worked with the Eagles for the most part and was basically one dimensional...imo. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I'd rather listen to this before any Eagles album....one of my favorites from the old days.
And this one is also brilliant and these guys never received the acclaim they deserved imho....they used to play the same LA clubs that the Eagles later did before the Eagles became famous and from what I have read Glen Frey borrowed many ideas from the Speed Press.
