In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to the track Life in the Fast Lane when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them. The Eagles' story is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, legendary rock journalist Mick Wall delivers definitive insight into America's best-selling band of all time, a band that has sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMick Wall is one of the world's best-known rock writers and the author of over 25 internationally bestselling biographies and ghosted memoirs, including definitive titles on Led Zeppelin (\u003ci\u003eWhen Giants Walked the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e), Metallica (\u003ci\u003eEnter Night\u003c\/i\u003e), AC\/DC (\u003ci\u003eHell Ain't a Bad Place to Be\u003c\/i\u003e), Black Sabbath (\u003ci\u003eSymptom of the Universe\u003c\/i\u003e), Lou Reed, The Doors (\u003ci\u003eLove Becomes a Funeral Pyre\u003c\/i\u003e), Foo Fighters, Lemmy and Guns N' Roses (\u003ci\u003eLast of the Giants\u003c\/i\u003e).
