Eagles bassist Timothy B. Schmit doesn't think the group will ever record another studio set. The Eagles are currently on tour performing their legendary 1976 Hotel California album in its entirety along with other classic hits.
While chatting with Classic Rock magazine, Schmit was asked about the Eagles recording a followup to 2007's chart-topping and Grammy-winning, Long Road Out Of Eden, and said, “I sincerely doubt it. We toured behind our last album and put in five to seven of those songs (in the show). But we don’t do them anymore because there wasn’t a big reaction. When people come to see the Eagles they want to hear 'Best Of My Love,' 'One Of These Nights,' all these things. So we give it to them.”
Schmit, who's always been revered for possessing one of the best sets of pipes in the business, was enlisted back in the day to sing backing vocals on such Steely Dan masterpieces as Pretzel Logic, The Royal Scam, and Aja. He shed light on their recording technique: “Working with them is a real feather in my cap. One time I was in the studio singing a high part, and Donald (Fagen) was listening in the control room. I did it a bunch of times, then finally I really nailed it. But he gets on the talk-back and says: 'That was really good. Can we do one more?' Those guys were super-perfectionist, which I loved.”
