History Trivia / TheFlyingBurritoBrothers

* OldShame: In recent years Chris Hillman has said that he doesn't care for "Christine's Tune" as he now considers the lyrics to be misogynistic.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: After being wowed upon discovering a pre-fame Emmylou Harris, Chris Hillman considered adding her to the Burritos as a backing vocalist. Ultimately, though, he wound up recommending her to Gram Parsons (who was already out of the band by that point), and she appeared on his two solo albums ''GP'' and ''Grievous Angel''.

* ThePeteBest: Jon Corneal, Gram Parsons' old bandmate from the International Submarine Band, handled drums on a plurality of songs from ''The Gilded Palace of Sin'' (specifically, "Christine's Tune", "Do Right Woman", "Dark End of the Street", "My Uncle" and "Juanita"), and even got a Nudie suit of his own, but was ultimately not invited to join the Burritos (apparently in part because Parsons felt that he wasn't good-looking enough). His spot was taken by former Byrd Michael Clarke, and Corneal went on to play with Gene Clark and Douglas Dillard.

* AcclaimedFlop: The band's entire career is pretty much this. Their work was consistently admired by critics and won much respect from their musical peers (most notably Music/TheRollingStones), and they've come to be regarded as one of the most influential bands of their era. However, in their time, traditional country fans took umbrage with the group's long hair and dalliances with psychedelia, while many rock fans were inclined to tune out the minute they heard a pedal steel. As a result the Burritos' records were not commercially successful.
* BreakupBreakout: After leaving the Flying Burrito Brothers, guitarist Bernie Leadon became a founding member of a country-influenced rock band called [[Music/{{Eagles}} the Eagles]]. [[{{Understatement}} They've had some success.]]
