Every time a member of Eagles quit the bandLike many great bands in history, the Eagles‘ backstory is a litany of fallouts and walkouts. We usually place the band’s creative leaders, Don Henley and Glenn Frey, at the front of the drama. Frey described Leadon as “one of the greatest country guitar players, but whenever I wrote a rock and roll song, he was the lead guitarist. With Henley and Frey watching their fellow founders walk out, the band now comprised Joe Walsh and Don Felder, both playing guitar in the band. The line-up of Henley, Frey, Walsh, Schmitt, and Felder fired up the Eagles melody machine again in ‘94 before Felder was once more ousted from the band in 2001 following ongoing legal battles over the Eagles’ royalty payments.
