Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Rego Reactions. On today's episode, I'm going to be reacting to the Eagles and their hits, Take It to the Limit.

[00:00:10]Now, I think I have heard this song before, but I haven't ever reacted to it. And also, I haven't give it enough. I haven't given it the time of day. I don't know what the lyrics are about. I haven't [clears throat] listened to the guitar parts. So, I'll probably listen to it and if I hear anything cool, which I probably will, I'll pause the video and try and break down what they're doing on the guitar myself. Um, now I feel like the Eagles are a band that I need to go down the rabbit hole with because I've only reacted to a couple songs and I only know of a couple songs, you know, like Hotel California, um, Take It Easy, like, but they're one of the biggest selling bands of all time. So, it's foolish of me to not go down the rabbit hole and see what these guys have got, wouldn't you say? I mean, you guys let me know. But, we're gonna check this out. And if you guys enjoy it, let me know in the comments what you think I should do next. But without further ado, let's get into this.

[00:01:08][music] >> [music] [music] >> All alone at the end of the evening when the bright [music] lights [singing] have faded to blue.

[00:01:38][music] I was thinking about [singing] a woman who might have loved me and I never knew.

[00:01:51][music] >> You know, I've always been a dreamer.

[00:01:57][music] Spent my [singing] life running around and it's [music] so hard to change.

[00:02:05][singing] Can't seem [music] to settle down. [singing] But the dreams I've seen lately. [music] >> Oh my.

[00:02:18]>> Keep on turning up and [music] burning up and turning out the same. [music] I know it's going to go into some chorus here, but I can't let that slide. Just listen to the backing vocals from the rest of the band. it. I don't know. They create so much space, but they fill everything in at the perfect time. Like there's there's so much going on, but it sounds like so little is going on, which is very hard to do in a song because sometimes it can sound this is bare. Put something in, you know, but they they they manage to put everything in at the the correct time, but if you put too much in, it can sound chaotic. So when they put an extra layer in, they'll pull something out at the same time.

[00:03:05]>> [music] >> That's to me is incredible. That uh what's he playing there? [music] So you got like one of them going. And by the way, it starts with ooh and then it ends in a which is a nice touch as well.

[00:03:33]>> [singing and music] >> Sometimes you would go, "All right, is it going to be a oo or is it going to be an a or is it going to be a la?" You could go la.

[00:03:45]But they're going and then you got the harmony on top of it. [music] [singing] Just on top of the beautiful vocals that this gentleman's doing.

[00:04:03]That to me is just instantly already.

[00:04:06]It sounds like a studio recording [music] and burning up and turning out the sand.

[00:04:16][music] So put me on a highway and show me a sign [music] and take it to the limit one more [music and singing] time.

[00:04:44]>> [music] >> You can spend all your [music and singing] time making money [music] or you can spend all your love making time.

[00:05:03]If it all fell to pieces [music and singing] tomorrow flawless, could you still be mine?

[00:05:15]>> [music] >> Wow. [singing] >> And when you're looking for your freedom, >> oh my nobody [music] seems to care. [singing] >> I can't. You guys are going to be annoyed cuz I'm pausing it, but it's a reaction at the end of the day, guys. If you want to hear the full song, you know what to do. But just the accents of everything that's going on. Let's listen. I forget his name. Apolog Don Henley on the drums. Watch the lead vocalist [clears throat] how Don Henley emphasizes the line >> tomorrow. [music] Could you still [singing] be mine?

[00:05:59][music] >> So we've got Could you still be mine [singing] and then could you still Could you [singing and music] still be mine?

[00:06:14]Could you still be mine?

[00:06:18]Could you [singing and music] still be mine?

[00:06:23]Just all these harmonies adding beautiful layers. I'm sorry, guys, but and even listen to the uh the way that Don Henley builds up the drums just before they go back into the next verse.

[00:06:37]It's all emphasis and it's keeping the song just [music] >> listen to the freedom. [music] It all [singing] seems to care >> and you can't [music] find the door.

[00:07:05][singing] Can't find it anywhere [music] when there's nothing to believe in.

[00:07:18]Still, you're [music] coming back.

[00:07:20]You're running back. You're coming [music] back for more.

[00:07:28]Put me on a highway [music] and show me a sign and take it to the limit one more time.

[00:07:44]Take it to the limit.

[00:07:49]Take it to the [music] limit.

[00:07:53]Take it to the [singing] limit. One more time. [music] >> Let's hide each other.

[00:08:00]>> Take it to the [music] limit.

[00:08:04]Take it to the limit. Come on and take it to [music] the limit. One more time.

[00:08:15][music] Take it to the limit.

[00:08:22]To the women. Well, you got to take it [music] to the limit one more time.

[00:08:33]Take it [music] to the limit.

[00:08:37]Take it to [music] the limit. Well, come on and take it to the limit.

[00:08:45][music] Take it [music] to the limit.

[00:08:53]Take it to the limit.

[00:08:57]Take it to the limit.

[00:09:03][music] Take it.

[00:09:10]Look at the mate. Look at the freaking I Oh, mate. This makes me want to fing around there. That is talent.

[00:09:19]Even when he's going, take a like that.

[00:09:22]Take it. It's like he's breathing in when he's got to hit that it take it that it looks like it's hard for him to do, but he's hitting it so good every time. Pitch perfect. No autotune. This is 1977. Autotune didn't come out to like 94.

[00:09:40]Insane stuff. Not to mention, he's not looking at the bass.

[00:09:46]How >> [music] >> Take it to the [singing] Oh my days. This guy is sick. Look at the smile on the piano's face when he does it because he's like, [snorts] "You just did it, my G." to [music] [music] take it to the limit. Oh, I'm going to take it to the limit. You got to take it to the limit one more time.

[00:10:26][music and singing] Thank you.

[00:10:33]Well done. Thank you. Thank you, mate.

[00:10:38]What a beautiful way of ending the song as well. Let's quickly just hear that.

[00:10:45][music] Take it to the Come [music] on and take it to the limit. You got to take it to the [music] limit. One more time.

[00:11:04]They know how to write a song.

[00:11:07][music] [music] Take it to the one.

[00:11:23]How well did it, Dude? What? What the hell? I don't know what they did.

[00:11:36][singing] See, B major would be where you would end it. [music] But it sounded like they Oh, so they went back to the E. Take it to the [singing] limit one more [music] time.

[00:12:06]And do you notice how not one of the band members, even though as much as I bet, one of them wanted to go [music] shredding out.

[00:12:20]I mean, you got Joe.

[00:12:22]Um, you got Joe there and the other guitar player. They want to shred out.

[00:12:27]Trust me. They've got they've got needs.

[00:12:29]They've got the guitar bug.

[00:12:32]What makes a great band is every musician knowing when it's the right time to do so. Knowing when this song doesn't require that. As much as it hurts you inside and as much as you want to add a solo there, it didn't need it.

[00:12:45]The vocal, this song's about the vocals.

[00:12:47]And that was pitch perfect. Amazing vocals, great tone, great voice, exceptional. And what the hell? I'm not being funny. He's just a he's a bass player coming out with stuff like that.

[00:13:02]And then you've got the other main lead vocals and you got Don on the drums who wants to sing Hotel California. That is a super band. And usually a super band is what happens like the Traveling Mbury's or Stills Nash and whatnot Crosbury.

[00:13:16]But no, there's a fly in here that's about to get murdered. They're a super band in their own right without even having to go down another avenue. Eagles. It's like you've got a great musician from all the from a worldwide big band and put them together and created the Eagles. That's what it's like. That is exceptional. Great songwriting.
