10 Rock Band Reunions That REALLY Didn't Work

10. Hell Freezes Over - Eagles 

The entire appeal of the Eagles when they were first starting out was just how laid back they were from their contemporaries. At the height of the political unrest of the '70s and people still up in arms about the Vietnam War, songs like Take It Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling gave us the confidence that everything was going to work out. While it eventually did, we had to continue on without the Eagles coming with us.

Or did we? During the '80s, the band originally fell out pretty hard because of a sparring session that happened onstage between Don Felder and Glenn Frey, where Felder was getting frustrated about not getting paid. Things had seemed to smooth over around the '90s though, with the arrival of classic rock radio playing the band's music 24/7 and exposing a whole new generation to Hotel California.

As if the title wasn't a dead giveaway, Hell Freezes Over just points to how unlikely this was to happen, but it wasn't going to stay happy for long. In between a handful of decent tracks added to what is essentially a live album, the old habits came creeping back in again, as Felder got more frustrated about not getting an equal share of the royalties from every show and quitting the band again before they could reach a proper agreement. You can call it unfair if you wanted to, but when you have as many classics as Don Henley and Glenn Frey have under their belt, you can definitely tell who's really steering the ship.
