Joe Walsh interview Rock lifestyle + alligator attack - Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson 5/17/05

[@romarobbins270]

Joe is not only musically talented, he’s also very humorous and intelligent.

[@Jedizen07]

As far as I'm concerned, Joe is a NATIONAL treasure. From his music as well as his commitment to helping veterans, the guy can do no wrong. Just a great musician and human being!

[@Bone74838]

Yeah he's a good geezer.

[@1skyofrog]

Joe Walsh - The scariest thing that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.

[@davidbutterfield7718]

Love Scottish Craig, and...Joe Walsh. You can't imagine how much I love that fella. And that's before we even start considering his incredible music... Joe Walsh. What a survivor, what a musician, what a great man.

[@bartstarr100]

There is no way to dislike Joe Walsh

[@TheZayne34]

R. Jay, you are 100% correct. WAY too many think he is just a clown. But the man is my main influence along with Jimmy Page.

I never watched him, and I regret that. I agree

[@elmo1119]

So glad he got the help he needed and is still here with us! This was a great interview. Love and look up to Joe so much.

[@oldermusiclover]

I agree with being glad he got his life together he can credit Don Felder with some of that although he won't talk to Don any more which is sad

In 1997 I met Joe at that Fantasy Camp... He was awesome. Signed autographs and talked to us for a good bit. Jonathan Silverman from Weekend At Bernies was also there. He was cool too. It was a great day hanging out with them and Duke Snider to boot!

In the late 1960s the James Gang played at Mentor Hullabaloo in Ohio. We spent our weekends dancing to the best music that would eventually become world famous. No beverages no alcohol just music and dancing. I was a teenager then. Miss those days! Thank you Joe and the Gang.

Joe was played this little club in Thousand Oaks, CA in 1985 or 86. It was attached to a bowling alley Ray Charles, Newgrass Revival and some others had played there. It was a good club. Waddy Wachtel played with him. Joe got so drunk that not only could he not finish the show he ended up vomiting his guts out in the parking lot. We were in the parking lot not far away walking to our car. I remember thinking his career was over and that he would OD sometime in the future. SO glad he pulled out of that. He's a remarkable guy and still making great music.

[@Matthew_Eitzman]

What did he eat that produced the vomit?

[@joshuadowling8778]

Hahaha. Great comment. Joe finally discovered at some point that he was a drunkard. He's made up for it. I can honestly say that ALL bands were better when the members were using. FACT. Every good Stones album, every fuckin Aerosmith album. ALL. Originally. The only one that kept it up was Lou. Dunno when he got clean. Look it up. Even Lennon got smacked up with Keif. Not sure of the dates, but, John wrote a few hits under the influence.

But *GOD* I Love Joe, you called it right, he IS the man. He's a monster on guitar, and has a hilarious sense of humor.

Joe is the shit. He didn't need the Eagles to be big. It just helped his career and recognition. He would have succeeded anyway. He's fucking brilliant. He doesn't have a catalogue like the Eagles, but that's not the point. He accelerated his career by being in the Eagles. My perspective is that he never needed to be in the Eagles.
