Life’s been Good by Joe Walsh is 🔥

@George-kv6gm 5 месяцев назад

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!

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

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.

@tonyharmon8512 5 месяцев назад

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.

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

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.

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

@jgsrhythm100 5 месяцев назад

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

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

Next to Smoke on the Water this was the most requested song by my band in the 70s when we playing clubs. At lease 3-4 times a night. The love dancing to this. They danced hard and drank a lot of beer. For some funny reason they all danced in 16th note while the song was in 18th notes. The club owners loved us as we mad them a lot of money in beer sales. Not bragging but we always packed the house. Some of the best times in my life. I was the drummer and back then the girls love drummers.

Joe is using a guitar "talk box" during the part of the song after your pause. To see one in action, I suggest you react to Peter Frampton's appearance on Midnight Special where he performs Do You Feel Like We Do. Frampton exploded onto the scene in 1976 with his live album, Frampton Comes Alive. Earlier in his career, he was a member of Humble Pie beginning in 1969 at 18 years old.

@davidburton9136 5 месяцев назад

I've never seen the Eagles, but I did see Joe in a small club in Greenville SC back in the 90s. He really is a great entertainer in addition to being a great musician. He is a really funny guy, and a fun one. Now, I have seen him say once, on one of Clapton's Crossroads DVDs, when introducing Rocky Mountain Way; something like "If I'd known I was going to be playing this for the next 30 years I would have written something else". It didn't come off that he was bored with it, but more like he wished it was better, so the crowds wouldn't grow bored with it. As if THAT would happen! A really nice reaction to this great song.

@JohnWarner-lu8rq 5 месяцев назад

Joe is from the Kent, Ohio area. He started playing Bass guitar but switched to six string. The James Gang was a great band who had Glenn Schwartz as the lead guitarist. He was phenomenal. Glenn moved to California and Joe took his place in the James Gang. Our band played all of the same stages around the Cleveland area and suburbs as the James Gang. This brings back lots of great memories. I believe that here on YT there's a sound track of "The James Gang Rides Again" album. It's well worth the time listening to it. That album takes the album tunes to another level. Oddly enough, this album was released around the same time as the 1st Bruce Springsteen. Music critics of the time said that the voices of Bruce, and Joe, would never be successful. As a drummer, I learned a lot from watching Jimmy Fox, the drummer.

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.

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 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.

If you want to see him a few years later into the later 70s, one of his huge hits was one that hit me when I was in junior high and I heard it on the radio and I raced out to buy the single: Life's Been Good. It's so sarcastic and hilarious, and yet it's musically and sonically quite interesting, and it became this big hit, and he's basically breaking the Fourth wa😂ll all the time in it.
