Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
The Canadian broadcaster John Beaudin has a new interview with Bernie Leadon! Oh happy day!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzBBKaXAPvA&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2r BkKCu6LH5UYTA4KTh-L_kQDyAgZm8tGkX3SERLywi2SzylV98gPuy7A
The segment above is just the first of many. Bernie and John spoke for 77 minutes.
Pleased to hear that Bernie is writing new material and that he's still friends with Glyn Johns, who stayed at Bernie's house recently.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks, NMB. I'm looking forward to the rest of the interview. It should be very interesting!

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Cool! I hope he tells us if he was asked to tour with Eagles 3.0.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Just seen this on my feed now. Absolute blinder, he's my favourite Eagle so the more we hear of him the better as far as I'm concerned. You can never have too much Bernie Leadon :thumbsup:

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Wow! How awesome! Now if he would just play a solo show.... I mean, what's he going to do with that new material? They don't say anything about an album. Maybe we'll find out in the next segments when they get released.
I'm fantasizing about him playing in Nashville, and me driving up and attending and getting his autograph and maybe a picture with him and... ok, I need to stop now. lol

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks so much for the link, NMB. It’s awesome to hear from Bernie! I look forward to more interview clips.
Soda, I remember him saying in another interview that he had a lot of songs when he was recording Mirror. Chances are he does have enough for another album.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Bernie is certainly very cool. Not as cool as Glenn, but close! 😁

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Amazing! Thank you NMB for the link. I can't wait to hear the rest of the interview either.

Me too!

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Wow - Thank You NMB ! What a great interview, I can't wait to hear the rest. Bernie seems like such a great guy. I would love to see him in concert.

Hi Brooke ! JMHO but, I bet Bernie does not want to open that can of worms.

I hope he does! I don't see that it would be a 'can of worms' though. Simply yes or no would be good with me!

It sure would be interesting to hear his take on this.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Lots of interesting little details here. I was surprised that Amy Grant’s son and Bernie’s son own a hemp business together.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks for the link, NMB. It sounds like these first 2 parts were just teasers and the next one will be longer. Funny how there are so many connections between all of these people!

A 77 minute interview next time. I can't wait to hear what Bernie has to say. NMB - Thanks for posting part two.

Thanks for posting the link!

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
I love interview with Bernie. He has nothing to prove and he tells it straight but with the wisdom gained by age and experience. Great attitude - whatever Henley & Co decide, they're out selling his catalogue. I wish he'd write a book - not just about his time in the Eagles.
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
So nice to see you again, UnderTheWire!
If I had the opportunity to ask Bernie something, I’d ask, “Dude, do you no longer surf? Is that why you live in Nashville?”
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Interesting stuff, like he, Deacon and Timothy performed PEF at Glenn’s memorial. Thanks for posting, NMB.

There’s an article about it linked in Bernie’s press thread. It seems everyone in Nashville is linked to Vince Gill in some way or another.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks again, NBM.
I have a lot of respect for Bernie too. You can tell he lives life on his own terms.

And at the same time doesn't throw anybody under the bus in public. A person to be respected in many ways.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Another cracking video, good to see an interview that actually asks probing questions rather than the usual tepid gibberish musicians get asked. Bernie seems like a very grounded, principled bloke, fair play to him. You can understand just from that video the sort of mindset that made him quit in the first place.
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
ITA, chaim and TLR - Bernie was not happy in the band so he left. Now, as he admitted, at his young age, maybe he didn't handle the situation as well as he could have at the time, but none of the band members did. The bottom line is he was unhappy, he left, and he takes responsibility for his decision. That's what mature, well-adjusted adults do.

Indeed - I meant more from the angle that you can tell he holds the integrity of the music and band in very high regard, that seems synonymous to me with 'selling out' / lack of desire for stardom that is often cited as one his motivations for leaving.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
I see what you are saying. Bernie says in the HOTE doc that their goal from the onset was to make lots of money so I believe that he definitely wanted the band to be successful. I think for him that once it actually happened, coupled with the change in the band's musical direction and internal conflicts, he decided that the price of fame was too high for him.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Part 3, talkin' bout the guitars on "Take It Easy" and people mispronouncing his name. This one is really short.

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Hmm, I don't know enough about guitars to really get what he's saying - what does a "phaser" do for the song? Too technical for me!
I do get what he's saying about coming up with the lick in between the chords, though - good work, Bernie!
Appropriate it got put up on his birthday!
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
A phaser is an effect you can use on a guitar (or any other instrument/sound signal). Bernie probably had a pedal; you can process the sound through a phaser effect on the computer nowadays. I've used it but it never sounded anything as cool as the opening chords of TIE. I think the double tracking is maybe what gave the sound such an expansive and exciting feeling. It doesn't get old! I still feel that excitement when I hear that song. Well done, Bernie!
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks again, NMB - I don't know anything about the technical things either, but my ears tell me I must like the sound of a phaser. :wink: :grin:
And Bernie doesn't care if you mispronounce his name - just spell it right on the check ... gotta love it!
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
With "basics" Bernie of course refers to basic tracks, which - certainly in the case of the Eagles - means the whole band playing live in the studio and recording the song before they add overdubs and possibly replace some parts. I love this kind of stuff!
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
As for the phaser, I can't remember the sound it produces. Does it split the signal in two and make them go in and out of phase?
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks again, NMB. If Beaudin interviewed Bernie for 77 minutes, he is certainly milking it for all it's worth!

It does, and it can sound dated but thankfully not in TIE’s case. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IjgaCU2mRx4

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
In this latest installment, Bernie discusses “I Wish You Peace” and the polarizing response it tends to elicit. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jQZ5QC...p6-8hVZTZNNgLM

Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
As much as I love listening to these I must admit I'm getting a bit tired of these short clips coming out now and then.
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Yeah = I agree. I understand that Mr. Beaudin wants us to keep visiting his channel, but if there is 77 minutes, he should break it into 10 minute segments. At the current rate, this will be strung out for 2 - 3 months. But, he knows we'll keep coming back until we've heard the whole interview.
-
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
"The song is 'I Wish You Peace' but I'm going to break your f--ing arm if you don't record it." LOL!!!!
I've always thought the song was lovely.
