If you ask Don Henley, his former Eagles bandmate Don Felder is just "bitter."

Felder sued former mates Glenn Frey and Henley for wrongful termination and then was countersued by Henley and Frey for breach of contract.

The matter was settled out of court in 2007, but hurt feelings clearly remain.

"Felder's just bitter because he got kicked out of the group, so he decided to write a nasty little tell-all," Henley tells the Guardian.

"Which I think is a really low, cheap shot. I mean, I could write some stuff about him that would make your mustache curl."

Felder referred to Henley and Frey as "the gods" in his 2007 memoir Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles.
