Joe Walsh - Turn To Stone 

Holy Crap!!! This song is off the chain... just discovered it and I'm 59! And it's already in my top 10 songs of all time.

That heavy fuzzy sound coming from the guitar and bass is what makes this one the best version to me. This song makes you feel like a badass.

I asked producer Bill Szymczyk why Joe recorded it twice. He said Joe had a new band and wanted to take another stab at it. I asked which version he preferred. He said this one. I agree.

This is by far the best version of Turn To Stone.

Who else keeps replaying this beutiful song???

Rock ‘n’ roll has been around for a while, But the all-time best, I mean the greatest most unbelievable rock ‘n’ roll has came out of the 70s!! And yeah I’m not forgetting About the 60s and the great music that came out of that generation but, BAR NONE, 70’s fn rock In my opinion was rock ‘n’ roll at its best!

I found this album at a garage sale while out riding my bicycle around 8 yrs old gave like $1 and it was a not for sale promo copy only stamped on it in red. This song is the one that sent me on my harder rock and roll journey. I still have that same album today and I'm 60. Love it and thx Joe.

This is one of the reasons I will be cranking out the jams in my nursing home. At 3:49 you can actually Feel what rock is all about. This was not just distortion. Joe was able to let us feel what his music was saying. Still sends shivers down me backbone. I love rock and roll.

Bobby Singer. Man knows his stuff.

Guy is bad to the bone. Played with some of the greatest rock bands ever. He's truly a super hero of rock.

An amazing song by an awesome guitar player. Joe Walsh is one of the most overlooked artists of the past fifty years. He is a true triple threat - a lyricist, a composer and a phenomenal musician. A very modest individual who allows his music to speak for him.

Joe Walsh, Mississippi River Festival Summer of 1974. His new band Barnstorm blew us away. It was a magic time.

I remember hearing this song on the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack (always liked the Documentary better) at 12 and it really sticking out to me and has stuck with me since, being already aware of Life's Been Good and In the City. I think Joe is really underrated as solo act, growing up on classic rock radio, I felt like his songs had character to them that I didnt hear in others.

Barstorm: the most underrated rock/folk album of the 20th century.

BEST SONG EVER FOR ALLTIME! My life has always been based off of songs like this to speak to me and help express through feeling rocking just how I feel. I feel you Joe!

This song evokes a physical reaction in me no other songs do that I feel this song

The solo at the end is celestial.

When this tune first hit we were teens driving down the road listening to Turn The Stone feeling like complete badasses...couldn't tell us nothing! hahahaaa Joe Walsh is THE badass...thank you for rocking us with your timeless badassery Joe!

I cannot comprehend at the end ... the flow of those guitars fucking each other fading away

Every version of this song is phenomenal. If he'd done a disco version of it, it would have rocked.

Thanks pops for turning me on to this masterpiece ❤

Joe Walsh, and good taste in music brought me here!

I never heard this song till I watched Black Mass back in 2015. Now I ask myself what I've been missing all these years.

I just DIG the echo of Joe's vocals in this version. But...damn this song fits this chapter in time.

The radio rarely rarely played this version back in the day. I always liked this one better.

I dig this guy so much. Fantastic guitarist. Can listen too him for hrs. Kick Ass Joe 🎵🎶🎸

One of my favorite all time guitar songs ever!

Love how Joe Vitale's drums aren't just 4/4 boom-chick, that's some awesome playing!

An amazing piece of music that I'm sure influenced a lot of later bands. The production's about as sweet as it gets while the band are faultless, and as somebody who plays the instrument I've never heard power chords sound so good on a bass guitar. Proto-metal at its best.

Walsh's live version w/Eagles, Houston '76, guitar duel with Felder blows this one away IMO

Monumental !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Good music never gets old.

I like this version better than the other one that he did later on. They're both great, both are distinct, but this one is a little more raw.

Met this man. Such a laid cooled back dude you'll ever meet.

my god this song is pure power

The best version. The opening and 3:50 is soul snatching .

Crunchy intro - always liked this version more than the later one

great guitar riff great lyrics

oh man those fuzzed out breakers that start rolling in at :33

The intention of the song and the lyrics are powerful. First heard it when I was 15 and never let go. I live this whole album but this song especially.

Ageless song! Masterpiece

Glad I heard the song in Supernatural.

Joe Walsh Is King 🤘

Killer riff!

Goddamn, I fucking love this song; reminds me of my east coast upbringing; it's a wonder why Scorcese hasn't put this into one of his movies.

This is the heaviest version of turn to stone, based on original rock way، feels me shiver

Best Version!!!

great drumming too

Joe Walsh the cool Eagle. Guy wrote some fine tracks in his day.

Amazing song 🎵 ♥️ love it

Joe🎵🎸

love this version !!!!!!

Greatest guitar song of the 70s... Of all time.

This song just makes me wanna feel my hair blow in the wind, skatin' through the hills of Cali lolol 😎💚🤙 #Dogtown #masterpiece

Me likes to roll a fattie, relax and listen; my favorite Joe Walsh song! Got this on vinyl as well...😎

I remember listening to this song as a kid and loving it but never knew who sang it, until now❤

"You wanna take a shot, Tommy? Take a shot, but make it your fackin' best, 'cause I get up, I eat ya."

There will be a special place for joe in heaven. Gb

Powerful beyond measure

One Of My Favorite Vinyl Records, Turn To Stone Is Raw & Real Here, Way Better Then The Other Version

What a tune ... on repeat for a week now. Miss the oldschool sound, riffs and solos. So raw, organic, alive and eventually nostalgic.

Straight Badass!!!

John Williamsesque Rock N Roll!

Best version

Black Mass brought me here. Kick ass movie 😎

Thank you

Just mind blowing

Thank you.

Gawd, I loved being in the seventies. Such clean, raw, expressive music! And Bell bottoms looked SO much better than these fugly tight-ass legged pants everyone's wearing now.

Respect From Brazil. MG

Is Awsome!!! Age-defying song!

What a badass rock n roll song.

It’s at the end of Citadel season 1 episode 5. Just briefly. Made me look it up. What a total jam!!

Professional gravedigger amongst many of other things. First time I heard this was 9/11 of 2021. Changed my life.

nice song !

My favorite version of the song

Classic stoner music 😎

Is this a live recording? It has the feel and sound of a live recording

This is amazing

Thank you Lords of dogtown.

kick ass

Yesss...smoked many a fat one to this!!

Recorded here in Colorado at Caribou Ranch..

The drums in this version fit the song far better than the so what version.

This was as good as it got back in the day; well before Joe started acting like such a goofball ("Life's been Good", "ILBT", "Ordinary Average Guy"). Not that those are terrible songs, they just don't hold a candle next to this stuff.

Hey now, the well run dry Pages of your book on fire Read the writing On the wall Hoe down, it's a show-down Ev'rywhere you look, we're fighting Hear the call And you know it's gettin' stronger I can't last very much longer Turn to stone Well there's a change in the wind You know the signs don't lie Such a strange feelin' And I don't know why it's takin' Such a long time Backyard people And they work all day Tired of the speeches and the way That the reasons keep changin' Just to make the words rhyme And you know it's gettin' stronger Can't make 'em run much longer Turn to stone

Lords of dogtown brought me here 🙏🏻

The definitive version.

First time listening to this 15 year ago, acid started kicking in about 1 min in hahaha good times!

Kinda the beginning of metal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, thx supernatural.

when I go to skateboard competitions this is the song I tell them to play

The Bomber !

EPIC

Love it ❤️

Find the version he did with Eagles/Felder, Houston ‘76. JB on an ES335 talking back to a screaming Strat.

the version he does with the eagles and don felder is total badassery (as is this version)

Accept no alterations or deviations, this is THE ONE - Cold storm, heavy and slow

Me , at least once a week I been listening to it like 5-8 times in a row , just the initial main guitar and bass riff is god like especially with that nasty fuzz pedal theyre using on the guitar and the bass , sounds like def playing through good old marshal tube amplifier half stack heads , can't beat the distortion sound those heads give to a guitar IMHO , only amp I ever used that sounded just as bad ass but in def more of a metal way , was this only mid 1980's Peavey practice/small gig solid state amplifier with a single 12 speaker , whether playing any of my Ibanez's, my fender Stratocaster , my Jackson "randy Rhoades" flying V guitar or my Gibson SG that amp just made them all sound like magic, too bad they dont sell peavey's any longer and marshal tube power heads nowadays are like over $2000 just for the head alone , at least the one I like the best anyway. song makes me feel like I'm hard core as hell , then it ends and reality kick in and my short lived fantastical self vision of myself quickly comes to be nothing more than exactly what it was , a fantasy lol.
