"A vivid, no holds barred portrait of the trials and tribulations that the country-rockers faced as they soared their way to the very top." —Entertainment Weekly "Surely make you lose your mind . . . " So the Eagles warn us about the outrageous lifestyle of the ambitious rock-n-roller. 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. 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. 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. "Hip, wise and witty . . . [a] bare knuckles account, a sordid only-in-Hollywood tale that could have come from James Ellroy." —Joel Selvin, author of Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day "Entertaining and often edgy . . . . Wall captures the spirit of that era's 'fast lane' in a manner reminiscent of a highly caffeinated Tom Wolfe." —Kirkus Reviews
