First time hearing Joe Walsh “In the City” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@chitownlee]

He wrote this for the movie The Warriors. You need to do a movie review.

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

Warriors come out and play! I agree they need to watch The Warriors.

[@sanigirlmpls3732]

My favorite cult classic movie.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

I 2nd that! What a cult classic. There was rumor a few years back they were gonna do an updated version based in L.A.

[@Robert-un7br]

That would be an amazing movie to do a reaction too! Please do it! 🔥💥

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I agree too!😎✌️

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Life Of Illusion” !! Also “Funk #49” and “Walk Away” when he was in The James Gang”!!

[@franklerma3754]

Joe Walsh was what the Eagles needed when they asked him to join he is one of the greatest guitarists EVER!!!!and his solo career speaks for itself you need to do a review of Life is a Illusion it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Keep up the great reviews.

[@tommyguidry469]

This song is from the movie, the Warriors and it was later on an Eagles album

[@stevedaulton9655]

Joe Walsh the Great Solo Artist and Member of the Eagles wrote this one. The rest of the Eagles members loved it and they put it on their album The Long Run - and gave it the Eagles Treatment with those Outstanding Harmonies and instruments! One of the Best!

[@stevedaulton9655]

I think the lyrics are so truthful in this song. I saw BJ connect with them - about life in the City - they hit you right in the gut. You know it's good to get to the small towns and the country to be able to breathe.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I definitely agree with you on this one!✌️😎👍

[@ronpotter9810]

Don't Forget The James Gang or Barnstorm both happened years before The Eagles.

[@stevedaulton9655]

@@anibalbabilonia1867 Thanks! Love Joe Walsh and the Eagles are the Gold Standard in music for sure.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

@@stevedaulton9655 they sure are!😎👍

[@cabansinleaf8867]

If it wasn't for Joe Walsh, the Eagles would probably have been considered a country band. Joe has been there and done that and still kicks it hard. A very talented player/writer/singer and respected by many

[@2869may]

Fingers Felder was helping the rock as well...

[@bobschenkel7921]

From the movie "The Warriors", about gangs in NYC. The picture is of the Warriors. This is where you get the quote "Warriors, come out to play! Warriors, come out to play-yay!" The song is played as the closing theme of the movie.

[@joedirt688]

The message of this song is as real today as in the era in which this fantastic song was written.

[@rghilino6734]

Joe Walsh is one of the greatest rockers of all time. Listen to his work outside the Eagles and you'll be amazed.

[@Colin-1964]

First Time I Heard This Was 1979 In The Film “The Warriors”. ‘Kin Top Tune!✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@BGBG617]

Now you have to watch The Warriors!!

[@allenlocke1935]

This is about New York as it was the song in the closing credits for the cult classic 70's movie "The Warriors". A tale of a gang having to scrap their way home after a gang summit goes awry. I was a teenager when I saw it at the theater back in the day. We got baked and then went in. We thought it was great then. It's still fun to watch on occasion. You could do a reaction to it.

[@carlleedham6256]

One of my favourite songs from a great film, Joe Walsh is ringo star's brother in law

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

Great song. It was awesome when he'd do it with the Eagles too. Pretty Maids All In A Row is another good one.

[@reloadnorth7722]

There are a few songs that are timeless and can send a chill into the listener. This one does it for me. And the movie The Warriors was fantastic. Unfortunately some of the actors are no longer with us, but will forever be immortalized in youth with this production.

[@RussVerbofsky]

BTW, add the movie "The Warriors" to your to-watch list. The photo in the video you are reacting to was from this movie and the song was at the ending credits.

[@carlleedham6256]

I'm with you Russ, fantastic film, baseball fury's brilliant

I'm going to fire up the 1st xbox and pop in the warriors game now

"Now for that group out there that had such a hard time getting home, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song." --the D.J.

[@patrickbateman7369]

This was made for the movie "The Warriors" which you need to react to immediately

[@lakermd]

Warriors. Come out and playeeeyaaaaa!! One of my faves ever. Yeah it’s cheesy now, but it was awesome back then and the nostalgia will never die.

[@allenlocke1935]

I just saw that line was ad-libbed :)

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Official cult classic.

[@lisarousseau788]

Lol remember him clicking the beer bottles when he said that? Saw that movie when I was 14 loved it and this song!

[@827dusty]

Dude is a great guitarist, and a great song writer as well. He really never needed The Eagles, they called him. He was that good.

[@kenhoyer8601]

And had to learn all the eagles songs

[@markallen4637]

The Eagles saved his life, his addiction was killing him. There’s a great Eagles special that talks about this.

[@SteinSays]

💯

One of my favs by Joe Walsh. Give a listen to Lee Michaels "do you know what I mean" pleeeease 😁

[@RR-ym5ov]

Joe Walsh -Life’s been good. Classic 👌add to your reaction list

[@wadsworthaaron]

I saw the Eagles a little more than a decade ago. The show itself was outstanding; but what really surprised me was how phenomenal Joe Walsh was playing. I've seen lots of great guitarists live over the years (Vernon Reid, Mike Campbell, Eliot Easton, Buddy Guy, GE Smith, Steve Miller, Neil Young, etc.), but none of them shocked me in quite the same way Walsh did. He's a uniquely brilliant talent.

[@headedsomewhere]

I wholeheartedly agree, and think it's a shame that he is not in the R&R HOF as a solo artist

[@lawrencecooper2361]

I quite agree. I saw the James Gang in 1970. Walsh amazed me. He did impossible stuff on guitar. And I had previously seen Hendrix, Leslie West, etc.

[@goldenruletv7301]

I saw the Eagles on the "Hell Freezes Over" tour in like 1995 in Memphis, TN which is where Joe had lived for years. 2 hours into one of the most incredible concerts I have ever witnessed in person, Mr. Walsh took over for the home crowd. The Eagles were so freaking good and professional, most of the night I was in complete awe, really.

[@jonbona876]

Maybe the most underrated guitar player of all-time. Joe Walsh is a beast on slide guitar.

[@wheeliegirl1630]

It's so amazing how hearing a song can put you right back into your past. When this (as most Eagles/Walsh/Jackson Brown) and I'm singing at the top of my lungs.

[@jackndan6603]

Try this song when he sing's it with the Eagles backing him up. Love the tinkle of the key's as well. Great song. Thanks you guy's!😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@138chumbucket]

Dude no joke. This version is great but when you have the vocals of 4 other front men backing you up and throw another guitar god in the mix, its like turning gold into platinum.

[@theowizzago4217]

It's kind of important to know where the artists' mind comes from. Joe Walsh originally was born in Kansas but lived a decent portion of his life in Columbus Ohio... so his 'city' experience comes from his life there. Cities come in 3 flavors. The vibrantly alive, the 'treading water/stagnant', and the decaying/dying. And cities go through cycles of these phases. I've seen New Orleans go through them all. Detroit too. So Joe's likely seeing his 'city' from a time when it was either stagnant or dying/decaying. Life in those times... in those kinds of cities, is hard for sure.

[@jerihalter1339]

The Warriors. That would be a great movie review. I love Joe Walsh!

[@ThatsNotFunnyThatsSick]

Driving back to Euless, Tx. on I-45 north with downtown Dallas in front of me at 2:00am Then this song comes on 92.5 KZPS.

[@todd8688]

love that station

[@hanoverfist6176]

You warriors are good.. the best.. the rest is ours.. yeah..

[@edwardstonick4898]

That was on the movie soundtrack

[@tnolddawg]

If I was going to classify this song, it's a rock song with a melancholy tone It tells how those from outside coming to the city have dreams they're trying to realize But when you're born in the city, you already know the harsh reality that so many more people in one place means that much more competition for everything, jobs, food, housing... Everything we struggle for in life has that many more hands reaching for it When you're born in the city, you're sure your dreams lie somewhere else...if you can only find a pathway out

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man this is one great tune! Every time I hear this one it reminds me of the movie “Warriors” it takes me back to my teenage years! Great movie and sound track👌😎👍great reaction! He’s also a great performer and with the Eagles!👌👍✌️

[@WednesdaysDragon]

At 2 minutes and 30 seconds in , I believe it's customary to spark one up and then ride the rest of the song out. You both did great in a "non altered" state!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@steveburkitt1255]

I hope you get enough people to have you review the "The Warriors".

[@danielarmistead4785]

Ending song to The Warriors

[@ThomasBabcock-e8g]

Ah yes. From the sound track the warriors and the movie in 1979. And Joe Walsh I believe wrote this track for the movie and front man and lead guitarist for the Eagles.

[@leffew2000]

If you've ever watched The Blues Brothers movie, at the end when they sing "Jailhouse Rock", look for a blonde inmate who jumps up and dances on the table. He is played by none other than Joe Walsh.

[@ledsgar]

The Warriors is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Joe wrote this for the NY gang movie "The Warriors" which has become a cult classic. When it was first released around 1979, we went to see it every Saturday night at the midnight show and then to Shoney's or Denny's for 2:00am breakfast. The poster art is the actual Warrior's gang from the movie wearing their colors.

[@lisar.6670]

"Warriors .. Come out to play .. Warriors! Come out to plaay! .. Warriors!! Come out to plaaayaaa!!" What a great movie line from such a great iconic movie. My father was 83 when he passed away in Sept. 2015. The movie "Warriors" came out in 1979. I was a freshman in high school. My dad and I went to catch a double feature at the theater. We sat and watched "The Warriors" and Cheech & Chongs "Up in Smoke" that afternoon. I never saw my dad laugh so damn hard as I did thru "Up in Smoke". My father rarely drank alcohol let alone try smoking weed. Joe Walsh's "In the City" has to be one of my favorite Walsh/Eagles songs to this day. If ya want to tie a genre to it Asia .. You both are right. Its Rock, Soft Rock and Classic ... So, Classic Soft Rock.

[@xJRx77]

What your hearing is Joe's solo version of this. Another version was also recorded by his band The Eagles for their Long run album

[@brianforgie7724]

Used to hear this every Friday night in my hometown. The local radio station CHEZ 106 FM in Ottawa, Ontario used this for one of their segments.

BIG Hit for Joe. Lotta Maseratis. The song is actually Titled “In the City” & is from the soundtrack of the 1979 Film “The Warriors”.

[@SteveMavronis]

Love Joe Walsh!

[@bernan1]

my all time fav tune..from the moment I heard it at the end of The Warriors. But, it took a different meaning after working in a women's homeless shelter. Extreme cases of mental health, drug use, and trauma in most of the women. Abandoned by their families (rarely visited them) It wasn't Disneyland. Having some die from OD (fentanyl sucks) really showed at that point how fleeting their lives were. Now I can't help in this song, they've finally escaped the city to a better place.

[@cathyhall1350]

From the movie The Warriors.. those guys in the pic there. Kind of old school Gangs of New York. Great film! 💗🎼🎸

[@benjaminjohnson8010]

This was done for a movie about a street gang trying to escape the violence of the city by leaving the city.

[@thevanman4498]

IN the city, full title, his songs deserve respect!

If you haven't seen The Warriors ....you must watch it.

Joe walsh !!!!!! Love the eagles. He took them to another level!!!!!!

[@goldenruletv7301]

I grew up listening to Heart, the Eagles, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Styx, Bob Seger....The Lord blessed me.

[@brianworth2513]

Also, check out Joe Walsh "Life of Illusion" and "Lifes Been Good". Incredible lyrics.

[@tbbradley5122]

Classic Rock for sure!!! Good call.

[@lizholewa8881]

The Eagles also sang backup vocals on this song.

[@jdbroders64]

So, Joe Walsh is with out a doubt one of the greatest rock guitarist/musician/songwriters of all time. He's just super talented and amazing. With that said, The Warriors movie from 1979 is one of the greatest pop/sub culture movies ever. It's a masterpiece of the era and the soundtrack is just killer. I was fifteen when it came out and was blown away as a young lad. Great stuff...

[@gardnerdan17]

This song was on the soundtrack to the movies The Warriors. It was a movie about gangs in New York.

[@robertstoner8244]

Lol 😂 I believe life in general can be a challenge. Great 😃👍 song. I get what Joe is saying . He's absolutely great 😃👍 love Joe

When the Eagles were ragged, on the edge and about to break up, they still made great music.

[@brentlee1043]

This movie is where Shaquille got the line. "Are you not entertained"

[@steelcards1969]

One of the most underrated songs out there

[@billgrumling6192]

the song came out in the 70s. it was from the movie the Warriors about a small street gang accused by another gang for assininating the leader of gang life in New York. they were trying to make it to coney Island 0

[@richmckinney7231]

you know this song was written just for the movie "the warriors"(a classic gang movie from the 70's). for the longest time, it wasn't available anywhere but the soundtrack

[@danielkesselring9172]

One of my favorite songs ever 💪🏻🎸

[@chrishall5141]

Very good song. At your convenience, I recommend you listening to the live 1994 Hell freezes over version, where the Eagles got back together and played it. Very nice.

[@Stumpfollj]

[@brianworth2513]

This song is at the end of a classic and very unique movie called The Warriors. It's about a gang (Warriors) who are at a big meeting with 100 other gangs in NYC and get falsely accused of killing the leader of the biggest gang in NYC. Now there is a bounty out on them and they need to fight their way back to their turf in Coney Island via subways and walking thru others turf. Fantastic cult classic movie from 1979. I hope you guys check it out and do a review. It's very unique and features alot of eerie background music.

[@ronshimon3623]

From the movie the WARRIORS. Gotta do a review of that movie. Cult classic from the 70s.

[@rickjensen1636]

Some say it was wrote for the "Warriors" movie, some say it was a stand alone song just used on that soundtrack, regardless, it was on there and in the movie the Warriors were a gang in (Asia hit the nail on the head) N.Y.C. when y'all had the song goin, those guys wearing the brown vests? Yep, The Warriors lol.

[@boballen818]

Yes, written for the movie "The Warriors" which was about gangs unifying to take over the $#!+hole that NYC was in the 1970's. So the lyrics are about how young people viewed being stuck in their environment and wondering what was past the horizon. It really is a good movie. The pic used in the vid are The Wartiors. If you watch it you will never hear coke bottles rattling the same. Lol

[@clannad99germany70]

I love this song !!!

[@billtroxell2148]

this is from the The Warriors movie, what a great movie and a great song also. Joe was one of the Eagles, played lead guitar, you should react to the movie the Warriors, great movie.
