Tony McManusHOST
Their biggest selling album, I think, was a greatest hits album around the world.
Tony McManusHOST
One of their songs was Take It To The Limit.
Steve CollinsGUEST
Oh, right.
Tony McManusHOST
Easy Feeling.
Ryan MackGUEST
And Louis was like, "But have, I need you to have the Eagles," um, what was the song? Can't remember.
Ryan MackGUEST
<< Put me on a highway >> Take It to the Limit.
Ryan MackGUEST
Simon Cowell-
Dara QuiltyHOST
As a, as a second option
Ryan MackGUEST
And we sing the song.
Ryan MackGUEST
He puts the hand up.
Ryan MackGUEST
He's like, "Have you got a second song?" And we're like, "Yeah, Eagles, Take It to the Limit." And then he's like, "Oh, they're my favorite band." And we're like, "Yeah, we know this." So we sing Take It to the Limit, and then, uh, it goes amazing.
Ryan MackGUEST
They give us f- uh, three or four yeses.
Ian RiceHOST
And let's not forget, uh, where we, you know, we say he's kind of, uh, the, the lesser members.
Ian RiceHOST
Uh, he did do Take It to the Limit, which was a huge hit for them, and a big in-concert favorite.
Ian RiceHOST
So I understand why they kinda are pushing him to do it.
Ian RiceHOST
They're probably trying to recreate that, uh, in, for this album.
Ian RiceHOST
His style actually sounds like an amalgamation of Don Henley and Glenn Frey to me, so it kinda slots in nicely into the proceedings.
Ian RiceHOST
Uh, it's, it's a bit of a shame that Randy Meisner wasn't given more opportunities to write on the Eagles records.
Ian RiceHOST
Uh, like I said, he did come up with the hugely successful Take It to the Limit.
Ian RiceHOST
And as this song demonstrates, uh, he's just, uh, as adept a performer, uh, as any other Eagle.
Stinky PeteHOST
And again, if I go back to listening to Johnny Walker, I can remember Johnny Walker playing Lying Eyes to death.
Stinky PeteHOST
and Take It To The Limit.
Stinky PeteHOST
So I've chosen those two because they were big singles in terms of a band that wasn't particularly big at the time before Hotel California.
Stinky PeteHOST
But One Of These Nights, which is my favourite Eagles track, was their breakthrough album in this
Stinky PeteHOST
That was the, you know, that album was the first one I bought.
Stinky PeteHOST
But I bought it.
Stinky PeteHOST
I mean, I love that track, but I bought it off the strength of literally line eyes and take it to the limit being played to death on radio one.
Stinky PeteHOST
And it was just one of those things where you go, It just became a theme song for that period.
