The Sphere in Las Vegas just announced its fall residency, and it’s none other than The Eagles. While some fans are thrilled, there are many reasons why this choice is less than ideal. Here are five reasons why The Eagles actually suck and should break up.
The Eagles’ hits are everywhere—classic rock radio, movies, terrible bars—you name it. Songs like “Hotel California,” “Take It Easy,” and “Desperado” are played so frequently that they’ve lost their charm. Now, every time I hear their biggest hits, I’m not really sure these songs were ever that good in the first place.
There’s a saying about remembering everything from your past through rose tinted shades and I imagine that whoever said that was specifically talking about boomers remembering their childhood tunes while burning fossil fuels and driving up property values in poor neighborhoods.
For a band that’s been around for decades, you’d think they’d have pushed a few boundaries or at least tried to shake things up a bit. But nope, The Eagles have managed to stay as predictable as my mid-morning poop. The Eagles’ formula is as well-known as it is tired: blend a little soft rock with some country twang, sprinkle in some harmonies, and call it a day. While this might have been fresh in the ’70s, the shtick gets old fast, which is why these bands must resort to packaging their same crappy product in new, brightly colored packaging (cough, The Sphere, cough).
Now, instead of needing to move around the stage and perform like musicians, a billion dollar LCD screen can do the heavy lifting while you sip on a $20 room temperature Budweiser.
The Eagles have undoubtedly mastered the art of commercial success, but at what cost? Their journey through the music industry is a textbook case of prioritizing radio-friendly commercialism over genuine artistry. From their meticulously produced albums to their squeaky-clean public image, The Eagles have always been about perfection.
Their sound, while smooth, lacks any of the raw, unrefined edge that gives music its soul. It’s as if every note, every harmony, and every lyric was crafted by a group of people who planned to never have sex once in their miserable lives. Music should be fun, dangerous, and freeing. The Eagles are the opposite of everything I just listed, The Eagles are a musical equivalent of the half-hearted hug you get when you find out your crush only thinks of you as a “good friend”.
The announcement of The Eagles’ fall residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas has sparked excitement among fans, but it also brings to light a significant issue: high ticket prices and exclusivity. The band have been known for their expensive concert tickets, and with The Sphere’s reputation for being notoriously overpriced, this residency might be more about catering to the elite than connecting with their broader fan base.
