Joe Walsh - Life’s Been Good | REACTION

[@drsus0]

Glenn Frey ( Eagles bandmate) once said about Joe Walsh: “Joe is an interesting bunch of guys”

[@josephhickman1306]

There's a hysterical video of him doing this song but stopping here and again to talk about why he wrote this or that lyric. Loved it.

[@melodymakermark]

Lol. That’s fitting. Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood said something similar about Mick Jagger (but not meant in a good way; read Bill German’s book). Joe is an interesting guy/guys for sure. His audience interplay at concerts is legendary, a whole video could be made from that.

Joe is a genuine national treasure. He's a phenomenal guitarist/musician. He got crazy living the "rock star life" but he never lost his core sense of self. He's literally "Average Joe" Walsh in his soul. I also MUCH prefer him in the James Gang and his own band over the Eagles. I can't hardly even listen to the Eagles just from knowing how pompous, narcissistic, and controlling Frey and Henley were.

[@funcrushed]

He had a running cameo on the Drew Carey show. probably the funniest part of that show imo, and I grew up in the 90s with a TV babysitter so I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every episode of that show. For better or worse, lmao.

Joe's a genius- he is all about sounds...blending and connecting them... adding a well structured solo that completes its thought...we mere mortals wouldn't see how some of these beats and styles could come together... Joe is funk... funk is Joe.

[@bgray625]

I remember listening to this as a kid in my dad's 1973 Ford LTD. I discovered that the speaker on top of the dashboard had slots that were perfectly penny-sized, so I jammed in PLENTY. This song in particular would make them RATTLE!

[@user-nb2xs3ss1g]

When he says “everybody’s so different I haven’t changed”; I think for him it was probably true. He was a rocker and partyer from the beginning and stayed that way.

[@TheLemzia]

The line "I live in Hotels, tear out the walls. I have Accountants pay for it all." is referring to Walsh, it was reported that SEVERAL of the Hotels He stayed at, had Entire walls torn out of them after He left!!! In the Live version, he changes a few lines and my Favorite is "I have a Limo, Ride in the Trunk. I lock the doors, in case I get DRUNK!". Walsh is a Joker and a HALF! Hell, He's 2 FULL Jokers!!!!!

[@stpnwlf9]

Back in his James Gang days, Joe joked that they toured with the Who and the worst thing that happened is Keith Moon decided he liked Joe. Joe Walsh learned hotel room trashing from the legendary master.

Joe Walsh is not only a great guitarist, he’s one of the funniest guys ever! In the eighties he used to spend a great deal of time in Chicago. He would frequently show up on The Steve Dahl and Garry Meier show. I worked at a hospital on the afternoon shift and would listen on the way in. I would be in tears when I got there. He was telling the story of how he was sitting in his limo and Richard Marx’ Don’t Mean Nothin came on and about the opening riff he says “Hey, that guys pretty good.............oh yeah, I did that”. Now, you have to imagine him saying it like he just took a nice, long toke. Lol. I’m partial to Funk 49 and Walk Away.

[@clare1061]

Spent a lot of time in the summer up in West branch Michigan and Joe Walsh was always there with us. His music and fun was always nonstop. Nothing like some Joe Walsh during the summer festivities.

[@deborahcornell171]

I just heard this on the radio in the car yesterday & thought "Hope Jamel does this one!". And please, Funk #49!!!🌿💚

I heard it today and thought the same thing.

Couldn’t click fast enough for this one! Gotta Do ....Funk 49 too! This song was out in my HS graduation year. Your WTF facial expressions are the ones I had when this first came out! 😂

I’d never heard the very ending until recently and I’ve been listening to this song since it’s release. I had fallen asleep listening to my music. I wake up to hear WHA WHA WHA.......... I had to look at what song it was. Then researched the song to make sure it has been there the whole time. I was actually surprised. Hidden this whole time. Lol

[@joshspurgeon5288]

@@Shawn-rq4py ya he stated it was a I guess shot to the industry during the time of over used wammy bars and doing alot of wha wha wha music probably disco or reggae. And I think if I remember correctly that I read it in a magazine or when I looked up the song. And I guess it's not really a shot but a tounge and cheek thing

[@elishawilliams5407]

One of my favorite Joe Walsh songs, I grew up listening to this! My favorite thing I ever heard him say as a then recovering alcoholic was that he'd only been drunk once in his life, for 20 years, lol.

Very few songs can mix-and-match styles the way this one does, and STILL remain so damn SMOOOOOOOOOOOOV.

I remember the old '90s show street smarts, where the host would go around interviewing less-than-intelligent people on the street, and Joe was a contestant one episode.

[@kpmilehigh]

Joe had the best line on one of Drew Carey's live episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway. Something along the lines of "it's hard to meditate on amphetamines." 😂

[@livemusic3889]

I had the immense and fortunate pleasure to meet Joe. He randomly walked into my job here Chicago when the Eagles were in town years ago. He was so kind, and very low key as one could imagine after all those years on the road. A very good dude.

[@zippyzipster46]

Great analysis Jamel. I am 50 and have heard this song 1000 times. It was a tongue and cheek shot at what Joe witnessed with wealth and fame.
