    Great singer and song writer.  Take it to the limit being one of the Eagles' best.

    I was never a big fan but you have to hand it to them all, they were extremely good at what they did and he was an integral part of that from the beginning.

    This is a sad one for me - I listened to Eagles Live almost constantly when I was 14, it was the first of their albums I got (even though the last made from the original era) and was basically the soundtrack to that summer for me. Take It To The Limit was always one of the standout tracks, it still brings back strong memories even now.

    RIP :(

    The original 4 eagles were something special and Randy was one of them, without a doubt a giant of a songster.

    RIP Randy Meisner - sincere commiserations to his family and friends.

    Bernie Leadon and Don Henley must be quite lonely in the Original Eagles WhatsApp group

    Oh, no.. that’s awful news.. 
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Noooooo his voice contributed lots  , what an extremely sad loss  another Eagle gone 
    I remember at one time there was a double going round claiming to be him . Can’t believe he’s gone .

    New kids in town.

    Felder will have been…


    Sorry if this is too soon. Although Meisner himself did fall out with Frey and I think Henley too.

    That is sad news and he was considered by many, including those in The Eagles, to have the best voice amongst them
    RIP

    RIP, great singer and bassist. That Hotel California lineup is slowly wilting away, what music they leave behind though.

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
