That's what I was thinking. I love all music mostly. He could be a total jammer for other but get down to a whole new stage with him as the lead. It could be heavy metal actually.
I bought this album in 1985, right after my son was born. Almost 40 years later I'm still listening and loving this AWESOME song ❤️ The Eagles couldn't have chosen a better member. Joe gave them THAT EDGE,❤️
joe walsh never disappoints.., whether its the james gang , solo or the eagles his playing is unmistakable.., he totally leaves his mark on everything he does...., he's a rock hero....
His guitar riffs are very unique. Only the guitar greats have that unique sound. It's like you know who it is before anyone sings a word to the song. Even if it's brand new.
Honestly, I think all of his songs are deep - you just have to get past his comical way of seeing things in his lyrics to find that there is something there, something deeper than you realize...But, it's there.
I’d still vote for Joe for president. One of my favorite so talented musicians. I met him once at his home 40yrs ago in montecito. He is a genuine nice guy!!
This has always been a favorite for me! Exceptional guitar work, impressive lyrics, oddly uncharacteristic of his more humorous songs. I had a chance to see him with my late sister in Santa Clara, in 1988, in a small venue. We were in the first seated row and it was more like hanging out and partying with him! He started off with this tune, playing acoustic slide for the first verse, pausing as the lights went down, came back with his trademark pale blue strat and the full band. It was a great show and a great memory for me, spending quality time with my, now passed, little sister.
Killer man,I just think Joe sounds better when playing a Les Paul,only because stats sound like shit,but that's not your fault bro,rock on,you have good taste in music,no one likes you personally,but damn are we glad you.are here!
@@moonwoofmars I hope this is a joke post or else WTF is your problem? Also strats do not sound like shit! Exhibit A: Jimi Hendrix, Exhibit B: David Gilmour, Exhibit C: Kieth Richards. Don’t get me wrong, Les Pauls are amazing guitars with a signature sound (especially when it comes to distorted leads) and yes, Joe Walsh’s sound is all about that guitar, but don’t say it doesn’t have its place in the pantheon of culturally influential instruments.
Love Joe Walsh and his music. It's been a lifelong journey. He inspired me to be a party animal when I was younger. He now inspired me in my search for truth, sensible living and helping others achieve the same, as I am helped. Thank you Joe Walsh, for your inspiration and music. And yes, the laughs🤣💖🙏🎸
Joe was the First Known artist I saw at 19yrs. alive.....Till this day, I'm now 66! Still has the mojo he started with.... I've seen 19 shows, without the Eagles. Eagles went sky high when Joe hooked up with them. The Confessor a work of genius!
A lot of people don't realize how great a guitar player Joe is !!! I have a Guitar Player Magazine from the early 70's with Joe Walsh, he talks about how he tears equipment down and adjusts things or rebuilds it to his liking. Always loved Joe Walsh.
Joe Walsh has written many great songs, but this and "In the City" are so powerful. "City" is stark and lonely, showing the brutality that comes with civilization. But "The Confessor" reaches in and grabs your soul and forces the confession of your sin right out of you.
Don't make them like this anymore. Heard it on a local station on the way home friom work today and just had to see the video as soon as I got home. Too bad there is not a higher resolution version available. Brings back a lot of good memories!
Ya, I was born in '57 and when you hear insane music coming out every single week--well, it changes you forever. Creativity on so many levels. Everyone exploring... Now, there are songs written by committee and algorithm, drum machines and auto tune...and very few musician/singer/songwriters who's songs will be played 40 yrs later...>sigh
I ABSOLUTELY ❣️ Joe Walsh!!!! I never get tired of his music! The Eagles made a brilliant move when they recruited him!!!! He's Genius! The Confesser, is a work of art!
One of the best rock songs ever written. Instrumentally it had a BIG sound with the guitar riffs and the sound of the drums. Just a bad ass piece of work. Joe you did it. You own it. One of the best to do it and this song was before it's time.
@@philipthomas6808 The problem with most classic rock stations is they play the same top hits of that era over and over. It would be nice if they would play the deeper cuts of Joe Walsh, Allman Brothers, Hendrix, Doors, ELP, etc., etc.
Set aside the lyrics and images, this is one of the best rock songs ever written... add the lyrics and images and it's gold made in heaven. 'nuff said....
I was a kid when this came out and always thought it was cool and was so different from most of the radio hits at the time but Joe Walsh always does his own thing and I think its great !...And I love some of the 3 chord tunes that came out back then but this song was always special and different in a good way cause who else could do it?
Man, I LOVE JOE WALSH!! What a rare talent…it’s impossible to not feel good and grin ear to ear when joe is in the room…just naturally musical right out of the womb, it seems
The first time I smoked a joint was in around 86 and I remember being with my buddy Brad in his 79 Mustang Ghia & that thang had a system.. We wore this song out.. The Confessor is truly one of the most bad ass songs ever!!!
The Confessor always felt like a well written rock overture.. love it. And the ending sequence to this video is exactly how to portray the climax. Joe said Stevie Nicks was with him for the entire process of this album and it definitely shows. Awesome!!
Posted over 13 years ago. Excellent songs just never die. One day I'll make a remix of this music video. It just has to be done. Thank you for your music wherever you are Joe Walsh. ✌
3:28 It is THE BEST guitar playing, and showmanship of the guitar ever filmed. I remember when this song/video first came out. The choreography and the angles when he's playing the Les Paul were just so perfect, if you were a guitar player, or just starting out, THIS bit just made it so, much more appealing and was inspirational to my learning to play.
Man I love this song...been ages since I listened to it. Watched the Guitar Center with Joe Walsh on axslive the other night and it made me realize it's been too long since listening to his stuff. Back to the Confessor...loved this song so much at the time that I made sure I didn't miss the tour.
2 dislikes? what were you people expecting a hiphop remix version or something? This is Joe fkn Walsh! Straight forward, not flashy, hardworking. Loved every second of this video.
the great Joe Walsh the most amazing guitar riff I've ever ever ever heard sorry slash your good keep up with your two hour a day practices and maybe just maybe Joe will let you tune his guitar
Oh how I wish they would have kept going!! This album and Ray’s Golden Scarab is all the proof you need to see who was the man behind the music. R.I.P. my brother. Can’t wait to jam with you when I arrive in the spirit realm again.
My ears were introduced to this in a striking way. No matter how many times I requested it on the radio I only heard it on rare occasions. Every three months or so I would take acid and tripball day and about 3 am it would play.Slowly I recognized the mighty song I didn't know the name of and it forever left its spooky and powerful impact on me. Hard to recognize at first then all was beautiful!
If Joe Walsh tells me to respect the eyes of the confessor, ok, that is something I admire. Joe inspires me to play guitar and maybe try to write one organic song lyrics like him one day.
I used to love hearing this song when I was fried. Try it, you might like it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teen years were so damn wonderful, loved those years in the 70's and 80's!
I haven't heard this JW tune in many years as well. I rarely listen to the radio, and in between cd changes, I heard the long intro and it grabbed my attention....it struck me so hard...great lyrics and guitar work...what a classic rock tune!
