Probably seems silly to say at this point but Stacy's Rhodes belonged to Don Henley (Eagles). Crazy, huh...

^Then her Rhodes should be honored with the talent upgrade it's gotten to experience late in life Very Happy

Not that Don Henley isn't a super successful and talented guy, I just like Eisley infinitely better than the Eagles.

Life in the Fastlane and Dirty Laundry are guilty pleasures though.

This gave my head great joy. Eisley more than the Eagles. woah that's huge. I have never been a huge Eagles fan either but was into Joe Walsh's first band in the 70's called "James Gang". Still - guilty pleasures certainly include "Desperado" and... others i can't think of right now... maybe the live version of "Hotel California".

Wait, who's beautiful Rhodes is this pictured and why did you sell it?!!!! ahhhh!!!!!!

I TRIED getting a picture of the Rhodes in San Francisco when it came out during set up but I was smushed against the way front and was basically standing right under it.
Not good for pictures, but extremely happy/excited that it has returned.

^ Rhodes, Electric Piano, and Hammond B-3's, three of the reasons I will never throw 70's music under the bus. Those tones are just unparalleled if you want vibe and groove.

love me some overdriven guitar, but, like a lot of folks on here, I will admit that the Rhodes is the ace in the hole on a lot of Eisley tracks. It's that extra something.

And as far as the Eagles, I woulda copped to Desperado, but I flinched cause when they ran that miniseries in the 80's they played it to death (or was it a movie of the week?) And my Mom had a music box that played Hotel California so I knew it there before I ever heard the song. When I finally did I was like "OH!!!, That's A Song???" Confused

The Hell Freezes Over version is a masterwork, I'll admit that much. It's a cool song, but radio loved it, well loved it to death. The original was ubiquitous, and when that new version came out, time folded in itself under the strain of the repeated plays on the FM band of the two versions.

Individually they are all aces, but I will always be comparing them to Stills & Young, solo and in their bands together. Stephen Stills solo and with Manassas, CSN (and somethings Y), Buffalo Springfield, the Stills Young Band, and as a session guitarist on Bill Withers, Bobby Womack, James Taylor, and countless other records puts him a whole other league for me, and Neil... Rules. I still prefer Joni's version of Woodstock though.

I don't get to ramble about stuff like this enough anymore. Anyways, my point is:

Eisley > the Eagles
CSN (and Sometimes Y) > the Eagles

Eisley vs CSN ( and Sometimes Y) , in the interest of fairness I'll hold off on that for another 3 records or so, and not count solo incarnations.

Oshio...

I know I know that city...Does that make sense? I live in (SW) Missouri and every time I see that photo I know I recognize the name, but when looking for it on google/google maps/wikipedia cities of missouri/etc. I can't find it anywhere.

Boyd, as far as location in Missouri, do you remember where it is/was? It's now driving me insane.


oh yeah...the Rhodes...

By far the instrument that got me into Eisley. That sound hit me deeper than even the voices of the girls. I remember the first time I saw the band live and it was brought on stage...I couldn't wait to hear the sounds live. Glad they've kept it in the live set since. The rhodes will always be apart of Eisley in my eyes. I still don't think I've heard anything as great live. If the girls' voices are the lungs of Eisley, with Weston and Garron being the beat of the heart, and the Chauntelle/Sherri's guitars being the guts, the keys of the rhodes are the veins that intertwine and connect every part together. And it's usually the first thing people ask about when introducing them to the band. "What is that?" It's on a level of its own.

It was mine, and I sold it because I got to a point where I literally had ZERO dollars in the bank and I was desperate. Sad

I was able to sell it for $300 more than I payed for it. Not like that makes me feel any better. I haven't been able to find one in my area since. What a fool I am.


OH. MY. GODDDDD!!!!!! I WANT IT BACK!!! Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

wilsmith - brilliant reply. brilliant i say. hard to add or take away one word so I will leave it.

oliez - man. man alive. i don't actually know. It was this dude name Thomas... I mean, it was his Dad who worked on them. Thomas was from a band who used to be called The Elms. I think they still play music.

juan_diego - no shame. don't look back. you did what you needed to do at the time and that's that... we just sold a lot of gear because it was just in the way and we applied the $ to new amps, new gear. The band will miss some of their first instruments for sentimental reasons but... meh... hey, you can get another Rhodes some day.

i like the forum better than my journal. i might annex the forum function and make it interactive. Or just kill it and post over here.
