I wish people would remember that 'poor old Randy Meisner' left the Eagles voluntarily. Having a go at Schmit for that has even less validity than attacking the band for firing Felder.

I should know better than to read the comments at the end of these stories. What idiots. Obviously clueless. I mean really, what does Randy have to do with Timothy doing solo shows and putting out solo albums. And as far as Timothy being one of the "luckiest musicians ever".... How the hell long has Timothy been touring with the Eagles now and has more than proven that he's a real Eagle!?!? And have they not heard of LROOE?
BTW, Charlotte The Harlot, he's on that album also and your little comment about "poor old Randy Meisner" Randy left on his own, no one fired him and Timothy didn't bully him out!! Get a flippin' clue!!!
And while I'm ranting... check out the statistics the last time Timothy did those couple of shows in the UK!! He did better there than he did here in the US. The UK embraced him!!! Do yourselves favors, buy yourselves some tickets, to see the man then MAYBE we will listen to what you have to say!!!
He sings it high, he plays it low

Why anyone would bring Randy up in comments about Timothy's solo shows is beyond me. "Poor old Randy Meisner" isn't exactly poor. He never regretted his decision to leave. I don't think he would like people faulting Timothy for being included in the resumption. He certainly doesn't harbor any resentment against Timothy or any of the Eagles for that matter. He's happy with his life.
Open up your eyes take the devil from your mind
Both Timothy and Randy are such gracious people, why can't others appreciate that and be the same way?

Couldn't agree more with all of your comments. It is just uber lame for anyone to imply that Timothy is responsible for Randy not being an Eagle. As far as the comment about Tim just being lucky - OMG ... that's just incredibly ridiculous beyond words!
Now, with regard to Tim playing more solo shows - I say bring 'em on Mr. Schmit (or is that Schmidt???)

From the Hall of Fame ceremony where Timothy defers to Randy as the one who was 'in the trenches' with the Eagles, you can see the great respect Timothy holds for Randy and how touched Randy was by it. Why must people create drama where there is none? You're right, whitcap - Randy wouldn't like Timothy to be "blamed" for a decision Randy made on his own and for the sake of his own happiness. I guess some folks don't understand that money isn't everything, and that people like Randy and Bernie could walk away from that kind of fame and fortune with no regrets.
Willie - I'll pop over with the cold flannel!
"Unknown outside of the Eagles?" Tim doesn't perhaps get as much recognition as other members, but he is extremely respected as a musician, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE of the Eagles. Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant. My solo show was at full capacity, and a large group of people had come all the way from France to see him. Not bad for "a bass player", eh?
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
