is the eagles' grammy nominated album a greatest hits album?

[144000]

i just noticed they were nominated, this year...

after the ten millionth grammy commercial, i have heard today, i couldn't help but ask. lol

No, they had an album out last year that was only sold in Wal-Mart. It was their 1st album of new material since 1980, that is probably why it was one of the bigger sellers of 2007 in the US. They haven't had a Greatest Hits out since the late 1970s (US), although there was a 2 disc set of hits and album tracks released around 2002. Hits albums aren't nominated anyway. Here is the nominated album

Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey has died today (Jan. 18). He was 67.

The band posted a statement on its Facebook page, listing “complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia” as the causes of death. Frey had disclosed the problems back in November, when the band were forced to pull out of attending the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony because he required major surgery.

I really can not believe this.

I really can not believe this.

Glenn is the first of all the Eagles members to pass away, which includes the ones no longer in the group. The only time all 7 played together was at their Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame induction.

Nathalie Cole, David Bowie, Glenn Frey. Also Celine Dion had tragic deaths in her family. Both her husband and her brother died of cancer last week. And Motörhead's singer died late December.

Sad start to the year in showbiz.

Rest in peace.

I re watched the induction last night on YouTube. (As well as the lovely speech Glenn made for Linda Rondstadt last year that really made me like him last year). As much strife and ill will always associated with the Rock Hall, the induction of the Eagles with ALL members was pure class.

Once again, the Eagles are going to court over what they are saying is an infringement upon their trademarks. They’ve filed a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court against the Todos Santos hotel in Baja California Sur, Mexico, whom they claim are billing the property as the “Hotel California” without permission from the band.

Reuters reports that the Todos Santos, which opened as the Hotel California in 1950 and went through a number of name changes until the current owners restored the name in 2001, have been marketing their property as if to suggest the band is connected to it. This includes playing Eagles songs over the PA system, selling t-shirts that call the hotel “legendary” — as if to suggest that it was the inspiration for the song — and a website URL of hotelcaliforniabaja.com. It is unknown what their checkout time is or the quality of their wine list.

The complaint reads, “Defendants lead U.S. consumers to believe that the Todos Santos Hotel is associated with the Eagles and, among other things, served as the inspiration for the lyrics in ‘Hotel California,’ which is false.” The paperwork also notes that the owners attempted to register the Hotel California name with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and that there has been some confusion among former guests in online reviews.

Indeed, 23 of the 593 reviews of the hotel on TripAdvisor have the phrase “Eagles song.” This ranges from people saying that it’s the inspiration for the song to others who disagree.

Despite the use of the Beverly Hills Hotel for the album‘s famous cover, Don Henley has always insisted that the lyrics were not about an actual hotel, but rather a metaphor. “It’s basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about,” he said.
