Life’s been Good by Joe Walsh is 🔥
As mentioned, the James Gang, Joe's previous group, had some really good songs. Funk #49, and Walk Away, both cool. Also might like "Life's Been Good", which I believe he recorded on his own. Fun to listen to. I enjoyed an interview Joe Walsh did about the song "Hotel California". He was asked if he still needed to practice ahead of time to get it right after all these years. He said he didn't, that he had no trouble playing it like sh*t without any practice at all! So I guess he still brushes up a bit before playing it again! Thanks for another great reaction! God bless you!
Joe Walsh is not only one of the preeminent guitar players in the world, he's a lot of fun. He's played with lots of other artists, has acted on TV and just generally seems to have a good time.
i used to be a dj in the 70's & one night i played this track in a soul based venue & the people were amazed at the song!!!
He has played himself in some notable roles on TV as well as other characters that are similar to him. I have seen him on The Drew Carey Show, Two And A Half Men and another one which I can't remember right now. But he is a funny guy.
"Life's Been Good" is a hoot!
@@mikemiller3069 Criminal Minds, as himself, "The Sandman" (2016)
Joe is playing slide guitar on this song.He is an underrated lead guitarist in my opinion.Nice reaction !, ps..he is also using a Peter Frampton type talk box on his guitar.
Got to check out Joe with the James Gang and "Walk Away" and "Funk 49"
💯
And The Confessor and also the Bomber!
"Life's been good" and "The Confessor" - Joe Walsh
💯
Those were some good times!!
Fun fact: At the end of the movie "The Blues Brothers", Joe Walsh is the first prisoner to get up and start dancing as the band is playing "Jailhouse Rock" in the prison cafeteria. He really gets around. And could really play the Voice Box, as well as the Guitar.
What he used is actually called a Talk box.
Life’s been Good is one song that describes him so well when it come to his past lifestyle. You will also enjoy it as much if not more than this one. He is great
You really need to see Joe do this song live. Whether with his band or The Eagles. The talk box that he uses is a little different from what Peter Frampton but both used them amazingly well.
The Eagles were also fire before Joe joined the band! Joe was added to give the band more of a rock sound and it was fantastic.I think you may be confused Joe didn't sing Hotel California. That was Don Henley the Eagles drummer and main vocalist,although every band member sang
Including bassist Timothy B. Schmidt
Life’s been good and funk#49 are awesome, check those out
Love this song, Suggest Life’s Been Good”💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nothing like cruising down I70, in Colorado, to Denver (In the Rockies) in a 550hp 68 Chevelle pedal to the metal kicking a Porsche's a$$ blasting Joe Walsh. A tall tale story I heard once upon a time.
Joe Walsh appearing on "Live From Daryl's House" is something you might want to check out.
DEFINITELY
I was going to suggest the same thing. that was a good watch
Great song choice! Awesome to hear this one again. Love Joe Walsh!
Thanks Mare! It was awesome!
Spent a week with Joe in Jamaica back in 1986. Our group didn’t once talk about his fame and fortune. We were on a boat and every time an order was barked at him, you could see an almost imperceptible smile. He gave me his personal information to look him up in LA but I never followed through. He went on and on about what a great time he had. Every evening when we brought him home his entourage were giving us evil looks. He’s a guy you would go bowling with more than a super star. Yes, we were partying.
There are so many great stories about Joe. Regarding his partying, "I only got drunk once.... for 25 years."
James Gang was such a great group, my first intro to Joe, Funk #49
Lifes Been Good ... Awesome Joe
Love Joe Walsh❤
Waaaaaay back when. In the days not long after he left the James Gang and had released his first solo album, he was in a studio in Redondo Beach. He wasn't happy with the way things were going and decided to take a break. He left the studio and walked for a few minutes. Just down the street was a Unitarian Church where the band I played in had a one night gig. Saturday night dance. We were a good band and Joe heard us playing the hard rock and blues we liked and the next thing we knew there was Joe Walsh asking if he could sit in with us. Between the shock and falling all over ourselves to say yes the next thing we knew there he was sitting in with us. He only played 4 songs with us but it cleared his mind so he headed back to the studio and we walked on clouds for a while. It was a memorable gig.
What a great experience to hear. That’s how it was though huh? Goes all the way back to Lou Armstrong. They just built off each others sounds and vibes. Really an unmatched time in history. Thanks for sharing, fantastic visual.
Another fun one! Love this song. Btw, "Casey's at bat" references a poem written some years ago. In the poem, Casey was arrogant because of great success and ended up losing the game because of his complacency. I LOVE that even though y'all did not know the reference, you still got the meaning. Well played!!
Beat me to it.
Great minds!!
The mighty Casey has struck out.
Rocky Mountain Way and All Night Long are two of my all time favs.
My all-time favorite of Joe's is "Turn To Stone" from his "You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind" album. It's incredible.
“Those Shoes” Joe Walsh,is a must hear/react,Big Fan thnx for all the content
A great artist! Great reaction
the voice box was invented in 1939 and was first used musically & vocaly by Peter drake in 1964 and Alvin rey. It was introduced to FRAMPTON through George Harrison when working on "All things must come to pass". Framton was the first one to use it on the guitar and made it famous
It's "All Things Must Pass" - just sayin'.
What he used is actually called a Talk box.
Life's been good is a great one, great reaction
Joined the Eagles in '73
Joe Walsh has a great song called "Funk 49" when he was in the James Gang. Another great band.
There's another version, 40(?) years later from the "Daryl's house" series (Daryl Hall)
With video... The whole band kicking off.
Well worth a watch.
Absolutely check out Joe Walsh with the band James Gang, a favorite of mine since way back when! Funk #49 and Walk Away are must listens.
The James Gang. Life's Been Good To Me So Far. Great song. You two are still rockin'🙂✌️
Life's Been Good and The Confessor are even better as good as this song is.
If I remember the story right, this song was written about Joe's departure from the James Gang because of managing problems (a common dilemma). He went into the Rockies to regroup, rest, and just get his head together. Afterward, he entered the era of the Eagles.
Don't forget the long, great solo stint he had between James Gang and The Eagles--some people worship those records.
Actually referred to as a Talk Box @@CuriousGeorge1111
At the 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival he said "if I had known I was going to have to play this song the rest of my life I would have written something better"... we all disagreed! Love Joe!
He was in James Gang before the Eagles. James Gang rocked!
Joe Shreds.☮🥁☘
That George Thorogood-style riff you noticed has actually been around for the entire history of rock and roll. It migrated over from blues genre, where it's a go-to guitar technique.
Love this song, it was my boyfriends favorite song when we were in high school.
Nice reaction, “Life’s been good so far” is also a great one to hit on.
Funk 49 and Walk Away are also really good.
Another Joe Walsh classic is Life's Been Good and would be a nice reaction. He is one of the greatest guitar players. Great reaction.
First David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) then Joe Walsh, and then Peter Frampton all had famous songs using the Hiel talk box for guitar.
it was done before them by. peter drake&alvin rey 1964, he introduced it to frampton through george harrison. the voice bow was invented in 1939. framton made it famous
Joe’s one of the best ever ❤ he’s been through so much but he’s strong! He lost his daughter in 1974 in a car accident, combined with years of drug and alcohol addiction… he got through it all and is recovered! Love him ❤
Loved him with the James Gang. One of the first 3 albums i ever bought!!
Joe is a party all the time
Life's been good.😊😊
Echoing the other fine comments here... James Gang... Funk #49, Walk Away... and The Bomber
You always have to realize when songs are released when comparing with other songs. Joe was a pioneer
I wish I could live that era all over again.
Me too! The 70’s were fabulous. I remember listening to this song in my 1969 black Corvette convertible. Good times.
R.I.P. Joe ...you were uch a Tlent...gonna miss ya
Hey, great pause man.
LIFE’S BEEN GOOD
Those Shoes by The Eagles is my favorite. Some good Joe Walsh.
Life's Been Good is a great Joe Walsh song.
I love Joe Walsh... "Life's Been Good" is another great tune. Here's a fun fact that most people don't know: the band he joined is not "The Eagles"... their name is just "Eagles".
It’s tough to tell if they are saying the “Eagles” or “The Eagles” without air quotes so I choose to believe they meant the former.
Also you can't really say the band name without putting "the" in front of the band name to use it in a sentence.
Yeah, it's just "Eagles" on the albums, but it sounds weird to say "Joe Walsh joined Eagles in 1975" right?
I owe you an apology Tim, I didn't believe you, so I looked it up and you are correct. They are the Eagles, not The Eagles, the word 'the' is not in their name. Thank you for teaching me something new.
The riff in Bad to the Bone is a standard blues progression ( shuffle) that's been used in countless songs. Yes Rocky Mountain Way is also a Shuffle. Its time to check the black blues cats that invented the music
Muddy Waters- Mannish Boy
Great reaction ❤
"Stop" from James Gang Live at Carnegie Hall is pure power blues-rock .
You need to check out the live version of this you won't regret it.
Joe is one of the funniest people in rock, hanging with Keith Moon rubbed off on him. Great guitar player and a legendary career.
According to Joe: "The best day of my life is when Keith Moon decided he liked me. The worst day of my life is when Keith Moon decided he liked me".
The front range around Denver used to be such a wonderful place to live.
So glad I got to enjoy it when it still had the vibe that Joe captures so well.
Joe Walsh was inspired to write Rocky Mountain Way after spending a tremendous amount of time at Colorado's Caribou Ranch Studios / Hippy Resort high in the Colorado mountains. Was also where John Denver was inspired to write his song Rocky Mountain High.
The rustic mountain ranch was transformed into a recording studio and a favorite hangout destination for a long list of who's who in rock n rollers. other guests included Elton John, Chicago Earth Wind & Fire, Bad Finger, Stephen Stills, Ronnie James Dio, Tommy Bolin and James Gang Michael jackson and a bunch of hippies
One of my favorites that didn’t get enough air time is The Confessor, awesome song!
I saw The Eagles in concert in 2018. I was most impressed with Joe Walsh. He’s still got it.
Mark has definitely steered you right in his requests. Other great Joe Walsh solo songs are Life's Been Good, The Confessor and A Life of Illusion. His banger songs from the James Gang are Funk #49 and Walk Away.
all great suggestions for them to review.
Welcome to 70s & 80s radio, boys & girls !
Don’t you just love that great transition out of the bridge section?
It was predictable, or perhaps anticipatory is the right word, but it is still so well executed and oh so satisfying!😁😁😁
Saw The Eagles back in 2014 in Houston. Played a few songs Joe Walsh did as a solo artist as well as Funk #49 from his James Gang days that blew the roof off the place.
I was always more of a Walsh than Eagles, I saw them in Toronto, may have been the same year and had the same experience.
Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in 1975 (that was the year I graduated High School). This one is on the Album "The smoker you drink the player you get" another good one from the same album is "Wolf".
I was actually going to guess 74/75. I was 8/9 so - not a bad guess
This is one of my favorite guitar riffs😂❤
Joe Walsh is great , When I was in the Army stationed at Ft Riley Ks , 1st inf div , when we got back to Ft Riley from Desert storm in May of 91 , Joe walsh came to Ft Riley that summer and had a free concert on one of the parade fields , this song was played and many others .
Love a Joe Walsh. He was great on the Drew Carey Show even. Yes that's him in band
Joe is the definition of a Rockstar 🤘🤘
Joe Walsh kicks so much ass
The funk is on fire in this one 😊 Funk 49 by Joe Walsh as part of the James Gang will get you moving!
Great Tune
Me Joe Walsh a few times as a kid, came to my house for party once.
That sound riff is a special mouthpiece used to make the sound
Fun fact: Stevie Nicks says Joe was the “great, great love of my life”.
Yes,and she even wrote a song for him.
This song is slow dirty and badass !
Joe plays at least 2 of his solo songs during an Eagles concert. He is quite funny on stage and a great guitarist.
Mark, keep up the awesome requests!
That really funky sound is the Talk Box.
in the city, funk 49 & life's been good
OMG guys, I love Joe Walsh. I've seen him live multiple times and he's been with a few of the greatest bands along with playing live with multiple other great Stars of the past 30 years. He was with the great James Gang from the 1960s. And of course, he's been a member of the Eagles for many, many years. And of course, there was or is his great solo career. I love what he does with his guitar. It's unique and has its own particular sound. Which jumps out at you when you hear It. And you're not even told that it's him playing on a song. Maybe you've never heard before. He was a semi regular guest on the Howard Stern show and he was always a great interview.
Anyway, I last saw him on the Eagles last American tour. And they were as good as they were in the 1980s!!
You have to make room for playing more of his music from his extensive portfolio with multiple groups. Absolutely a great choice.
I saw Joe Walsh several times. Including in 1974 at the Ozark Music Festival where the Eagles also performed. Didn’t know at the time he would one day join them.
I was there, too! I was right in front when he played. Couldn't hear for two days afterwards.
You must watch it live as well as “live at Darryl’s house”. What a great reaction. Your expressions were awesome.
Been awhile since I've heard this one thank you ❤
This is a great song! I believe I saw a live video once! I especially remember the talk box!! It is really great!!❤❤
Glad this was suggested to you!!👏👏👏 Thanks for reacting!
Yeah Samantha it's hard not to have a stank face when listening to Joe 👍👍 Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸
LOVE JOE - Loved his CONFESSOR album (many didn't, very much)...but, you also oughta check out FUNK #49 with him when he was with The James Gang!! :) Joe has a LOT of solo work that is OUTSTANDING!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!!! HUGS!!
Joe Walsh was in a band named
The James Gang
Check out
Funk #49
Walk Away
When he wrote this after he left the James Gang and he wasn't sure how going solo was going to work out. And he was living in Colorado at the time.
Eva Cassidy...Over the Rainbow live performance...25 MILLION VIEWS
Saw Joe Walsh headline in 1977... Little warmup band named Foreigner on their first tour in the US! No body had a clue for a couple of songs till they started "Cold as Ice" and place erupted!
Thanks. I needed that.
"Life's been good"
"In the city"
Just a couple more.
I went to see The Eagles live in Frankfurt Germany in 1977 during the Hotel California tour. I had been a huge fan of theirs since their first album came out. When they came out for the first song I noticed immediately their was a line up change. I knew the Don's, Glenn, Randy, yet there was someone new. I kept looking and all of a sudden it hit me. That's Joe Walsh. Being from the Midwest, I'd known him forever from the Barnstorm and James Gang bands. I was quite surprised to see him in The Eagles. I think his joining was good for the band and for him.
No Joe said I'm living in Colorado and I'm mowing the lawn. I look up and there's the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and there's snow on them in the summer. And it knocked me back because it was just beautiful. And I thought, 'Well I have committed. I'm already in Colorado and it's too late to regret the James Gang. The Rocky Mountain way is better than the way I had, because the music was better.' I got the words. Bam
they played a brilliant live concert version of this on the old grey whistle test back in the 70s where i remember he was playing an incredibly shiny guitar that was beautifully catching all the stadium lights- but the most memorable thing was hearing a voicebox played for the first time- remember all of my friends talking about it the net day at school
