      My favorite Joe Walsh quote is from when he was going out on tour after a long break and he was asked if he practices the songs before the tour begins and his reply was "yes, just because you wrote a song that doesn't mean you can play it."

    Joe Walsh is National freaking Treasure & we need to protect him like Betty White. I'm a HUGE Walsh fan! Trust me - The Eagles benefitted from having Joe - not the other way around. He a master ghitartist. You know the opening riff from "Life In The Fast Lane"? That riff was his warm up. Movement between his left to right hand & Glenn Fry was like damn that's a song! 🤣

    • @newgrl
      @newgrl 3 роки тому +1

      The Eagles have just a sh*t ton of good music, but "Life in the Fast Lane" is really my favorite. I'm not sure any other main-stream tune describes the mid to late 70's cocaine craze and its affect on people in quite such an upbeat way. I love that song, both musically and lyrically.

    I've got 2 Joel Walsh stories, I'll only share the one for now.
    Ok so in our household growing up we had the double lp live, and rocked out to it for years . . .
    Then one day something happened that made me look stupid.
    While out with friends somebody plays the studio version, I'm just a singing along and then out of the blue someone changed the lyrics.
    After a good long laugh, I ended up having to explain how it was I was more familiar with the live recording.
    I was a teenager at that time and now as an adult . . .
    The same thing happens.
