Product Description
The Eagles are the bestselling, and arguably the tightest-lipped, American group ever. Now band member and guitarist Don Felder finally breaks the Eagles’ years of public silence to take fans behind the scenes. He shares every part of the band’s wild ride, from the pressure-packed recording studios and trashed hotel rooms to the tension-filled courtrooms, and from the joy of writing powerful new songs to the magic of performing in huge arenas packed with roaring fans.

 Heaven and Hell August 30, 2008
The book shows that great musicians are not always pleasant to be around, but I would like to hear Hensley and Frye's side of the story.
 An Insider's Insights August 30, 2008
I liked this insider's view on the formation and development of the Eagles. The book is well written and revelatory, confirming some of what the public might have already surmised about what happens behind the scenes in the lives of rock groups. The book is written from one band member's perspective and it is difficult to know, from this book, what the other band members truly thought of the author and his role in the band, as well as their perspectives on the development of the Eagles. To the extent that this information and insight is missing, it adds to the curiosity of interested readers, who can now search the internet for interviews with his bandmates and business associates to round out the full story of the Eagles. Although, never knowing the full and true story, adds to the mystery, that always makes things more interesting than the full and unvarnished truth.
Overall, a good read that I recommend highly to fans of the Eagles and to anyone interested in learning about the development and transitions of a working group as an insiders sees and experiences it.
Big Eagles Fan, Great Book! August 29, 2008
I am a huge Eagles fan and I just couldn't put the book down. A must read for any Eagles fan!
 Grow Up, Felder! August 27, 2008

I always love an insider look at rock bands, but Don Felder is such a whiny baby that I had to work hard to keep my lunch down while reading his tome. There is no doubt that Felder is a great guitarist, but no one will ever accuse him of being a great thinker. Don Henley and Glenn Frey ARE the Eagles and apparently Felder was the last one to figure this out. Sorry, bub, other than writing the music to "Hotel California," you were always a sideman, no matter what agreements were made in the very beginning of Eagles, Ltd. You should have just accepted that Henley and Frey were the Lennon and McCartney of your outfit or gotten out if it was as bad as you described and saved us all 300 pages of bellyaching and whining.
Let the truth set you free! August 27, 2008
"Heaven and Hell:My Life in the Eagles" is a must read for any fan. I have been a long time fan of the Eagles and have read alot about how the band couldn't get along, but to I am astonish to read that they had differences since the very start. I liked the book from beginning to end. Felder tells us about his heart warming and sometimes unsettling life with his parents, wife, and children; as well the good and bad times of being a member of the Eagles. I found it interesting that he knew and was hanging out with so many well known and legendary musicians before they made it famous. I just couldn't put this book down. After finishing the book I just wanted to give him a hug.
