What Randy Meisner Really Thinks Of Timothy B Schmit His Eagles Replacement chords
Start Jamming...
[Ebm] We asked Randy Meisner what he really thought of his replacement in [Gb] Poco and the [Bbm] Eagles,
Timothy B.
Schmidt.
I'm John Boone from RockHistoryMusic.com.
[Ebm] Here is more from our last interview with Randy Meisner.
He just keeps following me around.
Really [Bbm] nice guy.
I mean, at the Hall [Ebm] of Fame, he made such a nice remark, just giving me all the best
[Bbm] and telling people like, Randy's done most of all this work.
And he's [Ebm] so honest and so nice.
You know, one of the guys here, Dave Walsh, was telling me, I was telling him you were
going to call and [Bbm] he said, he says, Poco was like the farm team for the Eagles.
Yeah.
[Ebm] Yeah, well, Poco kind of started the whole thing.
Along with the Byrds, you know, and like Bernie Ledman [Bbm] and the Burrito Brothers and stuff.
Kind of in the front runners of like the country rock thing kind of going [F] down.
Yeah.
That was an [Ebm] amazing, that was an amazing force.
You know, all [F] those bands were just an amazing force.
[Bbm] And, you know, when people look back in the history of the music, [Ebm] I mean, they're always
mentioned, you know, I look at singer songwriters now and I see them [Bbm] all influenced by those
styles, whether it's women, singer songwriters or males.
[Ebm] And I think a lot of it, you know, years and years later, like the Nashville thing, that
was a lot of like what the Eagles [Bbm] did, you know, what a lot of the Nashville players [Ebm] are doing.
And they're good, but my God, I can't see how they write so many songs so fast.
[Bbm] Oh, yeah.
My God, they have an idea like one night, the next day the [Ebm] record's out.
Yeah.
So fast.
They do an album in like a day.
I was talking to, who was it?
[Dbm] He used to do new age music, John Jarvis, played with Vince Gill.
[Ebm] And I tracked him down a couple of years ago because we were doing a Top 100 and one of
his [B] new age albums or something was really big here.
[Bbm] When we were doing that, we don't do it anymore, but I tracked him down and he said exactly
the same thing.
He says, [Db] man, it's like a machine here.
[Ebm] He lives in Nashville.
Oh, God, like they call it the cookie cutter.
Is that right?
Just bam, bam, [Bbm] bam.
Here they are.
They're so fast and so good.
The musicians down there [Ab] like [Db] there's a guy [Eb] I used.
I'm trying to think of his name now.
John Hobbs plays piano.
He's like one of the main session players down there.
And I used him on my first album and my first album that I did alone after the Eagles.
I called it like a scattergun [Ab] because I wanted to do every kind of song thinking that one
of them would hit.
I didn't have any continuity to the album.
It was just like every song was kind of different.
I did like if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, like an old [Db] remember that.
Yeah, I remember that.
You want to be happy for the rest of your life.
I believe I'm in your life.
Yeah.
But that was a song from high school I [Eb] always loved.
And so I just did all kinds of songs that had John Hobbs and like really good players
on this album.
Ernie Watts used to play with the Johnny Carson band.
He's just the best bass player in the world and just all kinds of players.
It was so good.
You know, the players were.
The album was like kind of like, you know, you just got to take a deep breath and say,
well, this is kind of fun, you know.
But the second one, like with Eric Kaz and Wendy Walton with Hearts on Fire, that was
Al Goree [N] that produced that.
And that one I felt was my best, you know, on my own.
And then the next one was like with Michael Flicker, who did Heart.
And I had Nancy Wilson and I, we did a song like Strangers that Elton John wrote.
And there's [Eb] some good music on there.
But Michael Flicker wanted to make me more of like a hard rock [Abm] player.
And so, you know, I was just [Bb] going with producers and I, you know, I did OK and it was fun.
But I [Ebm] realized I didn't want to be a solo artist at that point.
And then after that, I worked with Rick Roberts from Firefall.
I [Bbm] loved his vocals in Firefall.
He's a great guy.
[Eb] Yeah.
We played together for, oh, maybe three or four years.
We did a lot of small clubs and this and that.
And then later on, I got it into a group called Meisner, Ritz and Swan, which is me and Billy
Swan, like I can help.
Yeah, I remember that.
And Alan Ritz, his dad, behind closed doors, you know, Charlie Ritz.
And we had a good group and it's an album that I'm going to send you.
It just was released in Japan.
OK.
And so I got to get a CD.
Well, I noticed on your [Bbm] first solo album, one of the things that I noticed, the first
track was written by JD and [Eb] Glenn Frey.
Bad Man?
[Ebm] Yeah.
The one that like got on that, there's a movie called FM.
And that's when I [Bbm] was still with Irving Azoff as my manager, you know, to handle the Eagles.
And so he got that song on like the FM [Ebm] movie.
I remember that.
It was really fun.
[N] JD Souther, I think.
And I didn't know, maybe Glenn did write on that too.
I need love, baby, so do you.
Don't be mean to you, [Eb] bad man.
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember that.
Yeah.
You didn't write any songs other than Take It to the Limit on that first album?
No, I had no idea.
I was just like I said, scattergun.
Just every song I kind of liked.
And Alan Brackett helped me out, the producer.
He had a couple of, you know, different writers and stuff that we did some songs.
But I just wanted to make an album on my own.
Yeah.
I enjoyed that album.
I like that album.
Oh, that's good to hear.
I remember buying and thinking, there he is, you know, because I didn't know [Ebm] where he went.
I had no idea, you know.
So, yeah, I remember having a few too many and inviting my friends over and having them [Bbm] listen to it, you know.
All right.
I recently had the pleasure of talking to another nice guy like Randy Meisner, Rick [Ebm] Roberts, who was one of the two lead singers for Firefall during their heyday.
Actually, [Bbm] Rick sang all of their hits.
Randy Meisner [Ebm] and Rick Roberts also played together.
So I asked him about that.
He's a great writer and I just, [Bb] he's been, you know, writing some stuff and trying to get things [Bbm] together for himself.
[Ebm] And you guys would sound really good together, I would think.
You both.
Yeah, he's a great singer and great writer.
[Db] Good [Bbm] friend, too.
We'll have more from our last interview with Randy Meisner coming up next week.
