Before His Death, Randy Meisner Revealed He Was Mistreated By The Eagles

In the rock scene of the late 1970s, tensions within the Eagles were at an all-time high, culminating in Randy Meisner's shocking departure in 1977. As a founding member, Meisner's bass lines had defined hits like "Witchy Woman" and "Best of My Love."

To me, the best years of the Eagles were 71'-75'. Randy Meisner was awesome on Take It To The Limit. A cery emotional song for me, as it reminds me of my Grandmother. "A woman i'll never knew". Who died in the evening a few days before my 12th birthday. Who introduced me to the Eagles while we were waiting in line at the bank with her in Dumas , Tx in the early 80s. I saw one of their albums in 8track format, in her glove box. It was their Greatest Hits 71-75' with the Eagle on the water. I pushed it into the player and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" came on I was immediately hooked. Now I listen to that album on cd. Brings back wonderful memories of her and me.

[@KarenMCB-us1ct]

He was a great person and performer and so much so that his name and life is still remembered today. For me I will always think of Randy when I hear Take It To The Limit.

[@LorClayt]

I saw the Eagles in Ft. Worth Texas in July, 1977, in one of Randy’s last performances with the Eagles. It was without debate, the very best concerts I ever saw! Randy’s vocals on Take it To The Limit were spot on. That last final note is still hanging in the stratosphere over Ft. Worth, Texas and was without a doubt the highlight of the show for me. Jimmy Buffett opened, and he was just amazing!

[@moore4807]

Pretty sure both Randy Meisner and Don Felder (and going back even further Bernie Leadon) all seemed to have problems with Glen Frey and Don Henley. It is alleged that Bernie Leadon on his way out of the band due to songwriting issues and the band's musical direction proceeded to dump beer on Glen Frey's head. Don Felder was Bernie Leadon's replacement and allegedly had full rights as a member and was supposed to receive an equal share of the Eagles profits, that turned out to be untrue as Felder found out from Eagles manager Irving Azoff which led to a near fight, Felder's firing and subsequent lawsuits. Joe Walsh was never a full Eagle in his early years with the Eagles, but there are naysayers both ways on that story. Randy Meisner was allegedly a sensitive soul, and he chafed under Glen Frey's constant criticism and his berating the other members who stood up for themselves. I find it hard to believe that these members all left without the conflict being the main cause.

Because the song hit Meisner's highest range and was taxing for him to sing being sick, it was contemptible for Frey to ask Meisner to sing it twice.

[@user-xe6gx6wh4g]

The vocal in a song like Take it to the Limit is an extremely difficult one to achieve. Especially night after night and when a singer isn't feeling quite up to it for whatever reason. As a singer gets older the falsetto will eventually leave the body so to speak, and there is a point where they need to lower the octave in order to get through a song. That would never work in Randy's case because we all want to hear the song up to the standard it was first presented. Randy was a great musician who should be appreciated and he had a great, great song for all time but it was also his undoing. I would guess that as time has passed the other members of this great band can now relate to this.

However as far as Randy and Take It To The Limit, to me that will always be his signature song. As for the feelings of retiring the song due to Randy's departure ? This one is a half for and a half not. The for is that even though it's Randy's extraordinary voice, the song does belong to the band. Yet, Every time I hear it, Randy always comes to mind making it his song and will always state that Randy was and is still very much a part of the Eagles regardless of what form . When it comes to bands that we grew up with , originals always stick out and some just say it's not the same, and it's not.

[@fauxbro]

The Knoxville incident is a prime example of the autocratic, success obsessed Glen Frey. After a successful night's performance, how much difference would it make if the band didn't perform TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT as the encore? A few grumbling fans as they leave the venue? They were all doing a lot of coke, booze and whatever their sexual appetites required on a long tour. If Randy's voice is shot, a respectful bandleader would've said; 'no problem man, we'll give 'em something else' To Frey to demand Meisner do the song and insist that he hit all the notes is just; well, would you like to have a prick like that as your leader? Randy was a sensitive guy from Nebraska. Glen was a wise ass with attitude from Detroit.

[@user-sd9ve6tb5y]

Meisner didn't sing enough Eagles songs; love his voice. His contribution is often underappreciated, similar to that of Michael Anthony in Van Halen. What really irritates me most about this whole situation is how Schmidt and Walsh never found their balls to stand up to the two tyrants in the band - to come to the defense of Meisner and Felder and call out the greed and narcissism of Henley and Frey. Schmidt and Walsh are extremely talented and could have found a home anywhere else. Instead, they chose to take the easy way and become nothing more than paid monkeys, first to Henley and Frey and now just Henley. And now...the "Eagles" only pretend to perform live, stealing from their fans as they did from Felder and Meisner. Probably the smartest member of the band, Leadon saw all the signs and left early, presumably before they could ruin him too.

I heard that, too. In fact, in the next days newspaper, the critic listed the songs played, and there it was, right in the middle of the set list as always.

[@ka4sxi]

Apparently it was played in the encore. When they went backstage he said he didn’t want to sing it and Frey got pissed. Frey had said the people come to hear the song. He did sing it.

Don doesn't give a damn about Randy's feelings.

[@adamdorgant9454]

True!!!

[@mvandongen5710]

Two names are pronounced wrongly (Fry and Leadon)

[@tiportangeles2696]

It's Glen FRY, Like FRY Bread. Deacon FRY!

This interview is from the UK. That's how they speak there.

[@adotintheshark4848]

@@diannclemens6847 yeah but I imagine Glenn would still pronounce his own name the same. This is a crappy narration delivered by AI. The robot also pronounces Bernie Leadon's name wrong.

Call me Deacon Fry…….Deacon Fry…….

The voice is AI. Not intuitive.

[@paullevins5448]

The two A HOLES of the band Big Mouth Frey and backstabbing Henley were impossible to work with. Just ask Don and Bernie.

[@ryetim32]

Sorry but Frey was a Jerk. He ran out Don Felder too.

[@Tonetwisters]

I think ALL the members of The Eagles were mistreated by The Eagles.

[@margovalentine9925]

OMG! If that commentator says "Eagleses" one more time, I'm gonna explode!

[@wrongwayranger4736]

I would not doubt it if Henley and Frye didn’t purposely push Randy out of the band so they could hire a bass player for cheaper. Don and Glen love money

[@Joe-d7m6k]

And Henley is the only one left now, and has been accused of lip-- synching. He will get his, soon.

Vince Gill was with Pure Prairie League at end of 70s

[@heather6668]

To me, Vince Gill doesn't sound like he belongs with them.

[@CindySurvilla]

@@heather6668 hell no he needs to stay country not Rock and Roll

[@heather6668]

@@CindySurvilla Yeah he does

[@amerocker]

I saw Pure Prairie League open for the Allman Brothers Band, Providence Civic Center, 1979. Vince Gill sang lead and played guitar.

[@heather6668]

@@amerocker I liked them. Have 3 albums of theirs

If you are going to create a documentary about someone, please at least get their name pronunciation correct.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

Fry met with Karma, once greed raised its ugly head...

[@timsharkey1993]

Wow. Could your AI narrator have pronounced any more names incorrectly ??? 🙄

[@jaimeaballe1947]

Well Randy and the Frey is 6 ft below the ground already...
