• Critical Charles from Planet Earthlisten to Felder's solo records and then wonder why they weren't as popular as his work with the Eagles. His contribution to the "Heavy Metal" soundtrack woukd be a good place to start. He's good but Henley is awesome.
• Daytona from New YorkFrey and Henley were bullies. Super control freaks. I went to a concert to see Don Felder and he was great singing Victim of Love. I'm not saying Frey and Henley weren't great singers but they weren't great team members. Very egotistical.
• Dignap15 from New ZealandOk, Don Felder wanted to sing the song, and had been promised he could sing a song on Hotel California. Was this just for artistic reasons? or would the singer get more royalties?
• Mike Kevitt from Hickory, NcI like the whole song and the way The Eagles did it. In particular, I like that guitar at the beginning, then how it keeps meandering through the whole rest of the song, kind of in the background but impossible to miss. I couldn't help noticing, and focusing my hearing on it.
• Ken from Louisville, KyIn the History Of The Eagles documentary, Felder says that he assumed he'd be getting the lead vocal. Henley explained that they recorded several versions with Felder's lead vocal, but nobody was very happy with them. So while Felder was out of the studio, Henley's own lead vocal was inserted over the instrumental track already recorded. Henley said "Having Don Felder sing lead vocal on Victim Of Love would be like having me play lead guitar on Hotel California."
• Guy from Benson, NcFelder wrote the core and originally titled it "Iron Lung" because of the slapback echo sound on the guitar reminded of his childhood time spent in an iron lung.
• Pj from Twain Harte, CaI always called this the "chicken song" because of the guitar riffs in the beginning of the song :)
• Mayank from Ranchi, IndiaGreat song, nice guitar solos.
• Jim from Long Beach, CaGreat song. Joe Walsh's addition was the shot in the arm the Eagles needed!!!
