Rappers React To James Gang "Funk #49"!!!

[@CharCanuck14]

"Walk Away" is another great little James Gang tune.

[@whocares3986]

Probably the best.

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

As others have pointed out, the James Gang is fronted by Joe Walsh, whom you guys have already listened to during his solo work and with the Eagles.

[@paulward1799]

When we were kids (60's-70's) we called all of it rock and roll!

[@robcolditz7000]

Don't you hate when reactors are constantly asking "what genre is this"? That's my biggest pet peeve with music reactors. My 2nd is the reactors who want to provide lyrical analysis of songs I've known since they were released decades ago.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

That stuff drives me nuts. It's Rock,n,Roll, period. ​@@robcolditz7000

[@glennelfmann3143]

I file every song I like under the genre "music"

[@janicez2630]

Love me some Funk 49. Fell in love with this song at 16...my high school music in the 70s. Can't go wrong with James Gang and Joe Walsh!

[@NeverTrustGhost]

Fun Fact: The James Gang is best known for their guitarist, Joe Walsh, whose playing on this track helped establish him as a superstar axeman. Walsh joined the Cleveland-based group in 1969 after making a name for himself as one of the top guitar men in Ohio. He replaced Glenn Schwartz in the band, who Walsh considers a mentor. They were a 5-piece when Walsh joined, but were down to three (like popular acts Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience) when they released their second album James Gang Rides Again. With just three members, it meant Walsh had to play both rhythm and lead guitar parts, and also sing (he got a lot more help when he joined the Eagles in 1975). It was quite a learning experience for Walsh, who left the James Gang in 1971 after recording three studio albums with the group. - This Song Was A Downloadable Content (DLC) For The Video Game Rock Band 2

[@randywissler9923]

They did in fact have a Funk #48 that came out in 1969 and this one came out in 1970. The singer/guitarist is Joe Walsh pre-EAGLES.

[@robertbunker817]

Joe Walsh Rocks regardless what band he's in

[@jindas4217]

Oh hell yeah!!!! 💯💯💯💯 The James Gang jams!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@ob1wagonobi]

Love the baseline in this song.

[@iKvetch558]

YES! Some awesome Joe Walsh shredding...that's what I am talking about! Definitely check out The Confessor and Turn to Stone...those two songs will blow your mind for sure.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Joe Walsh is an amazing Guitarist, and has had a long and varied career, with many great bands. Seen the man twice in concert, both times with the Joe Walsh Band, once on his "Confessor" tour and once in a club, coming in drunk off the bus. A freaking riot, and he still rocked out, and he even played "Funk #49" both times.

[@richdiddens4059]

He was once quoted as saying he was picked as lead singer because "my singing sucked the least."

[@ericwagner1824]

I love his song the Confessor ( but I may be alone)

[@carllingenfelser3933]

saw JW on the Confessor tour, opening/co-headlining for Foreigner. absolutely amazing show.

[@WolfFX13]

The unmistakable sound of Joe Walsh's voice and guitar!!!

[@leannmiller7153]

Love me some Joe Walsh and The James Gang! My senior year in H.S, everyone was adding James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad to their vinyl collections. When I think of the great bands of my youth, I feel incredibly blessed! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@johnwarner6858]

Listened to an interview with Joe and Ozzy. Their bands toured together. They were doing so many drugs neither one could remember a thing about the tour. Saw the James Gang in Detroit in the early seventy's.

[@jeffreylauzon7630]

Always down for some Joe Walsh. Try I.L.B.T.'s by Walsh, you'll get a kick out of that song.

[@rhwinner]

Joe Walsh also probably the most famous ham radio operator in the world. 😅

[@robertconner5002]

Guitar hero, movies, commercials, very well-known and played.

[@dutch1800]

The way Smoke was was moving made it look like Jimi was jamming with the band 😆

[@marcieharreld286]

Holy Cow!! I had this on 8 Track!! Driving around in my 68 Chevy Malibu!! WOW!! Good times!!!🎵🎼🎶🎸🎤🎙🎧🎹🥁🔥🤘🤘

[@Cyndi7021]

Thanks for the reaction. I’ve loved this song since it came out in the early 70s. The next song should be Walk Away which is equally good. ✌🏼

[@doplinger1]

There IS a “Funk #48” and it’s awesome as well!

[@thomaswest7746]

I'm 68 and grew up in the 70s . And wouldn't have wanted any other way and yes we had the Greatest Music Ever Made.

[@jindas4217]

Joe Walsh on guitar and lead vocals.

[@bryanbrady877]

Before the age of streaming, I learned to play guitar so I could hear this whenever I wanted.

[@ptrlxc]

Fun group, fun song, and fun to play too. Plus it was a great time to grow up in. I turned a teenager in 1970, and saw lots of concerts for like $5 to $18 tickets

[@elizabethlozano9358]

Glad to see you going back to the classics 👍. Great reaction ❤

[@jerrypedit5383]

They did a Fun 48 and a Funk 50 as well. Main riff is very similar

[@827dusty]

Long before Joe Walsh played with The Eagles, he started this Band in the early 70s. The James Gang was a combination of Funk, and Hard Rock. Walsh was not only one of the best guitarists in the world, but he was also a gifted song writer as well. One of the greats.

[@msfoodiediva]

Teenybopper is young teenager who follows adolescent trends in culture music and fashion

[@atdeacon]

My favorite song by my second favorite guitarist (1st being Mark Knopfler). I was lucky enough to see Joe live and this is in his regular lineup and ROCKS!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

You will never meet an old school biker that doesn't know this song.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

There is a "Funk 48" as well. It was on an earlier album. Band was from Cleveland. I grew up in Ohio. So, yes, I have seen them perform live several times (with and without Joe Walsh on lead guitar). Tickets for the first show I saw them play were 50 cents!

[@otakubancho6655]

Always up for some early Joe Walsh!💘💘💘

[@anitamiller4351]

Love watching you guys have fun with this one. It definitely 🔥

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

Good tune! Heard in countless movies and commercials. I wouldn't even know where to start

[@andrewheck6922]

James Gang Rides Again is a album! Joes guitar work is historic!

[@Ghostkeeper]

yeah this is an old classic

[@taradevine6026]

You're right, that was indeed Joe Walsh!

[@petahpunk]

I love Joe Walsh solo stuff as well. His song "In the City" from the movie "The Warriors" movie is a damn good tune as well.

[@lucypoopies]

The drum section at 7:06 reminds me of the drum section of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut" (1972).

[@kowindsurf1590]

saw James Gang live at an arena -wow! the 70 era

[@jimquackenbush2821]

Great review, great song. You definitely need to watch the live version ! 😎🤟

[@matthewplowden8610]

Have you guys heard Terry Kath play? Try 25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood by Chicago.

[@HemlockRidge]

Another nice piece from James Gang is The Bomber: Closet Queen

[@chriswiedeman2956]

Hey Hollywood, I've got the same LZ shirt, brother! Nice!!

[@CharlieGroh]

...here I was, FNG in Vietnam...was billeted in a barracks-type housing. My first night I heard this, being a kinda rocker from SoCal I was astonished that I'd never heard it. Well, after a couple of nights, this tune rumbling the building, I finally gathered the courage (after all, I was a fuckin' new guy in a Cav troop) and walked down the aisle and introduced myself. My new, and forever, buddy invited me in, offered some vino, and we got into the James Gang. Life changed and my upcoming year of getting shot at got a little easier!

[@johnladd8421]

crazy story. This is Joe Walsh leading the way and later with the Eagles and also had a great solo career, but……….Adam Jones called Joe Walsh for pointers on how to play the talk box. and then Adam created Jambi. nuts!

[@bennymartinez5532]

Happy new year dudes

[@kristaspecht]

Morning guys! Good song! It is in different movies,and commercials so you know..lol

[@Hippy1969]

You may have heard it in The Dukes of Hazzard movie. James Gang is awesome!

[@mattreynolds612]

Pure Funky Fire Y'all 🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸

[@bumperu]

That whole album is a banger!!! It's in my top 5 of all time.

[@fenderchamp8241]

The Bomber is the greatest JG tune, even has some Vivaldi? in the song.

[@brettsmith724]

There is a #48 song by James Gang!

[@mitzifrancis9843]

How about Walk Away next?

[@stellarichard4060]

Love this song and I still have the vinyl record 😁🎵

[@kowindsurf1590]

a wild song by Joe Walsh & the James Gang - The Bomber

[@robcolditz7000]

You're right, it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. When I die, I hope I go back there.

[@lalapo5304]

People may yell at me, but Eye of the Confessor is Walsh's pinnacle. That guitar does something to me.

[@dennismccormick7521]

The familiar Rift that you heard. The song/movie Foot loose, they borrowed it.

[@candacemay7187]

I have seen this band mentioned in your comments a lot!! Every time you do an Eagles song, Joe Walsh is mentioned!!

[@mr.joshua6818]

All Funk, no Diddy 😂

[@neilludlam8055]

I have this on cassette ffs,luv it.

[@MrDeadstu]

You probably heard this song in a beer commercial.

[@zmarko]

Joe Walsh - At the Station

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Do THE BOMBER!

[@rdub9767]

I believe this was featured in a beer commercial years ago.

[@kevinmarshall854]

When Joe was part of the EAGLES he brought the rock to the band while was only a country style of band and he made them into one of the greatest American rock bands ever!!!

[@msfoodiediva]

Joe Walsh... great song pick

[@warrenhughes911]

Great reaction again guys.. Do more DYLAN..

[@seanroberts4011]

Seriously, as good as Joe's guitar work is, Dale Peters is right there with him, beat for beat, on the bass. Absolutely phenomenal bass line in this song.

[@jamessmith-pf5zf]

The '70s were a GREAT time to be a teenage male. You bought Reefer by the finger instead of the gram. Acid was still a thing. The "Pill" was getting popular, so the girlies were all about doing the deed. Tight bell-bottom jeans and tube tops were all the rage. We had the best music in the world, and AIDS was still in the future. Good Times!

[@BROU-bb2uc]

Kick it🤘

[@kellahella5286]

Y’all been doin this long enough to recognize Joe’s guitar sound. 😳🤣🤣

[@CJ-Fischer]

Check out James Gang Live at Carnegie Hall…total banger!!

[@757optim]

Teeney Bopper might be described as an underage music fan.

[@brianhildreth9099]

Joe is the man! Thank you.

[@rayniecox7683]

Dude, if you were in your 20s in the 70s, you'd be my age now. I turned 70 this year and yes the 70s DID have the best music. 😎😎😎😎

[@michaeldowson6988]

They did record a Funk #48.

[@mikemiller3069]

Q: What is the difference between in-laws and outlaws? A: Outlaws are wanted.😂😂😂

[@KattMurr]

It hasn't been called Foxbourough Stadium in many, many years...

[@damonhines8187]

Same Joe Walsh. Eagles. Barnstorm too. ✌🏼

[@jindas4217]

It's a 3 piece too.

[@AnnHuffman-n2o]

Thank you for the classic rocks! Never gets enough credit and how so much of these decades have influenced almost every genre of music today! Zeppelin the most. These guys were pretty good.

[@AnnHuffman-n2o]

Correction, 80's maybe! Ya had to be there!!😅😅😅😅

[@jimmysmith-xb7vm]

#48 and Walk Away will not disappoint

[@worksbydandeprez]

Joe Walsh, along with everything else, is Ringo Starr's brother-in-law.

[@Ghostkeeper]

maybe you heard it in a war movie

[@CJ-Fischer]

Tom Fox the drummer I think 🤔 totally underrated just kick ass mang!! 😅

[@Rad499]

It’s in Joe Dirt

[@glassontherocks]

Funk yea!

[@donswift7740]

Joe is Ringo’s brother in law and touring with his band.

[@jindas4217]

Joe Walsh went on to be a founding member of The Eagles.

[@msfoodiediva]

He was not founding member. He replaced bernie leadon

[@Raven5150]

Wqhen i grow up i wanna be joe Walsh

[@davesage4931]

Another great song from the Joe Dirt soundtrack. I’m Joe dirt!

[@robertschiavone5159]

I know that you enjoyed this song..Joe Walsh is an amazing guitarist

[@captainmoretokin2172]

I was born in the same hospital as Joe Walsh.

[@DrBoneright]

Joe Walsh is a Jedi. Funk 48 is even better!

[@brianvigneau2074]

Joe Walsh is the Sam Cook of trailer rock!!!!

[@sarleywinkle]

Funk #48 also!

[@ShellyGraham-r1o]

The James Gang is cool, but please react to The Urge from St.Louis anything from Receiving The Gift of Flavor or To Much Stereo. I got all the time in the world to keep posting 🤣🤣🤣
