Don Felder Early life, Education, Career, Awards, Achievements, Controversy, Unknown Facts

About (Profile/Biography):
It was on September 21, 1947, that Donald William Felder was born. In 1974, he became the lead guitarist of the rock band Eagles, and remained with them until 2001, when he was terminated from the band for insubordination. With the Eagles and his participation in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Donald William Felder was inducted into the Hall in 1998. A lifetime achievement award was given to Felder by Hall of Fame and Museum in 2016.
Don Felder Career:
Early in January 1974, Felder was called into the Eagles' studio for a session where he contributed slide guitar to the song "Good Day in Hell" and played some guitar solos on the song "Already Gone".
Hotel California was the first album released by the Eagles after the lineup change, and it ended up becoming a major international hit on account of its popularity. The album's title track, "Hotel California", the song Felder submitted to the record label, is the result of Felder's submission of "16 or 17 tracks".
After the Eagles disbanded in 1980, Felder spent more time with his family, but he also turned his attention to film composition and session work as well, while focusing on his solo career.
Felder released the first album of his own, Airborne, in 1983, which was his first solo release.
As a result, Felder declined Henley's offer to be on tour with him and didn't go on tour with him in 1985, citing both dissatisfactions with the pay as well as a desire to avoid going on tour with Henley.
A number of Felder's television credits include hosting FTV, a musical comedy show of the same name, a parody of MTV, and the music videos of the day, which aired from 1985 to 1986.
Don Felder Unknown Trivia Facts:
The Eagles fired Felder on February 6, 2001, as a result of his performance on the field.
The autobiography of Felder, Heaven, and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001), was published early in 2008 as a result of Felder's death.
