'Nowadays the fans keep their clothes on' The famously combustible Eagles, makers of the best-selling rock album of all time, tell Sylvie Simmons what it's like to be back on tour Sylvie Simmons Friday June 2, 2006

Don Henley, who has been remarkably relaxed so far, has just got a little tetchy. With the people who say the Eagles reformed out of greed. With the people who say the ticket prices for their summer shows are extortionate. And with one, unnamed member of the Rolling Stones.
"We are a brand, a bit like the Stones," he says, accepting there is little point pretending his band are at the cutting edge of rock'n'roll. "But we haven't exploited it in that way; we've never sold our name or our music for commercials for a product, and we're very proud of that. Which is not to say we may not do it in the future, but I think [the Stones] have gone a little bit further down that road. I mean, I remember when we first started elevating our ticket prices, one of them - I'm not naming names, but it wasn't Mick - saying in an interview in Rolling Stone magazine, 'Well, how much do you want to pay for nostalgia?' And then a couple of years later, they're charging double or triple what we're charging. For nostalgia."
Tetchiness is what peo
