Zitat des Tages von Don Henley:
I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.
I'm not on any crusade.
I could stand out front and sing Eagles songs that I sing in my set, but I think people enjoy watching me sing and play the drums. It seems to fascinate people. I don't know why.
Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
Some records with drum machines on them sound phony and plastic. It all depends on how you use the tools.
I'm blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn't enough.
I'm always jotting things down on pieces of paper. I've got pieces of paper all over my house.
I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends.
Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true.
I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well.
I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past.
Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun.
Mick Jagger can't even make a successful solo album, and the Stones are the biggest rock group that ever was.
Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.
Playing the drums hurts my back.
The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.
I don't care what anybody says about Ringo. I cut my rock-n-roll teeth listening to him.
Lawsuits should not be used to destroy a viable and independent distribution system. The solution lies in the marketplace and not the courtroom.
