I absolutely love Joe Walsh's music!

[@lab4389]

Joe Walsh took The Eagle’s to a place they’d never been. He gave them a edgy sound. I love Joe Walsh, and I loved James Gang. 💯👏🏻

Good interview, I've always liked Joe, he seems down to earth

[@orourkeb40]

I just love seeing Joe Walsh talk! He's got the most EPIC TALENT!

Saw Joe and Barnstorm here in SoCal. Keep on rockin'!

Wonder if Joe ever leans over to Ringo over dinner and asked " so what's the Beatles best selling album ?". Oh 22 million huh? Pretty good".

Wearing a Ramones T shirt - how cool is that!

That's an Eagles song dude !!

[@DemskePaul2017]

Glenn Frey has famously told the story about how he and a drug dealer friend of his were flying down the freeway (holding... BIG time), and Frey's buddy mentioned the title of the song while on the freeway, and the phrase stuck with Frey.

The only good thing the Eagles ever did was add this man

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Joe's an American Icon, Sadly, He should have stayed put & not joined the Eagles, one track! Life in the fast lane , The Band clipped his wings

[@DemskePaul2017]

well he DID join a BAND... and with being in a band, comes compromise and being a part of a team, even if that "team" was run by two dictators. If they 'clipped his wings' then Joe allowed them to, in between solo albums.

[@ThomasWilliams-bk6fd]

Eagles are thieves and scavengers.Joe was a professional musician with many albums and hits.Joe should have stayed solo.He was awesome on his own.James gang kicked ass too.

[@marthajoyce8571]

What?!? EAGLES SOAR!

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

You my Friend are the only Sane one who see's this! Joe blew it when he went to the Eagles! Got Lazy & It clipped his wings! Just imagine? he probably would of joined forces with Jimmy Page among others. Joe's a Living Legend

[@DemskePaul2017]

Eagles are not thieves - fans are buying the tickets. Nobody holding guns to their heads. Opportunists, perhaps. Joe continued to make solo albums during and after the Eagles so he's hardly a victim.
