Paying tribute to Meisner, Randy Bachman of the group, Bachman Turner Overdrive said that he was sorry to know that Meisner had left. He called him an ‘incredible singer, songwriter, and bassist’ and prayed for his friends and family.

Later he joined Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Bernie Leadon to set up the Eagles. He experimented with different types of rock music. Before moving to hard rock, he tried the country-tinged, laid-back West Coast pop-rock sound that created quite a few ripples in the world of music in the 1970s. He soon became exhausted and quit the rock band six years later. As a solo artist, Meisner performed well and composed music like ‘Hearts on Fire’ and ‘Deep Inside My Heart’. He also played on records for other performers like James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and another Eagles star, Joe Walsh. Meisner will mainly be remembered for musical hits like ‘Hotel California’ and ‘The Best of My Love’. He was not invited to the reunion tour of the band in 1994.
