The singer and guitarist is Joe Walsh. He played with the James Gang before going solo. Then he joined the Eagles and also maintained a solo career. Some of his other big hits without the Eagles are: "Funk #49", "Life's Been Good", "Rocky Mountain Way", and bunch of others. Personally I like one of his lesser known hits "The Confessor". All of them have Joe's great guitar work. You saw Joe play on "Hotel California". He was the guitarist in the bandana.

[@bakerbaggertagger]

^^What he said!

[@DavidBMaas]

Yes! Glad you mentioned The Confessor-- such a deep and wonderful song.

[@adamsher2538]

Great song. Also like All Night Long.

"Life's Been Good" " Turn To Stone" "Rocky Mountain Way" are my favs

[@garytaylor8697]

Life’s been Good, shows Joe Walsh’s sense of humor.

[@RicoBurghFan]

Oh my lord yes Turn To Stone. Brilliant lyrics great vocals and of course Joe's genius guitar. I'm gonna have to binge it now that you mentioned it! 👍🏾

[@anitapresthans7354]

Thanks! Wonderful to find a new favourite! Did just listen to Joe Walsh ”Life’s been good” on Spotify. Great! (Loves that Spotify now also gives you the lyrics.). 😎👍🏼

[@KathySandru]

Anything from Joe is a banger. I love “Ordinary Average Guy”

[@Scott_P869]

In the city was a favorite of mine.

[@stpnwlf9]

Joe Walsh, the lead singer and guitarist of the James Gang, was an Air Force brat. He was born near you guys in Wichita and eventually ended up in Ohio where he attended Kent State University and studied electrical engineering. Joe is a licensed ham radio operator and really knows his electronics, using his skills to modify guitars and amps to his personal preferences. In 1991, when a horrific tornado hit eastern Wichita and devastated the town of Andover, Joe held a solo show at Wichita's Cotillion Ballroom with the admission fee of two cans of food for storm victims. Definitely a cool guy!

[@BillO964]

You can’t always categorize music. Its art. Sometimes you work too hard at fitting a song into a box. Just enjoy it.

[@bynumite76]

Amen!

[@glennelfmann3143]

I'll second that amen

[@dcummings4834]

Yes, why does everything have to be in a "genre"? If it's good, it's good!

[@bobr4987]

Back in the 60's we would hear on the radio a ,Frank Sinatra song, followed by Sonny & Cher, then Jim Morrison and the Doors and Johnny Cash.(of course lots of Beatles). No one worried or even thought about genres.

[@Hexon66]

@@bobr4987 Of course people cared about genres then, and it wasn't that far removed from the designation of "race" music. But categorizing music doesn't have to be reductive or divisive. It's a useful way for people to discuss music, the influences and evolutions, the cross-overs etc. What people need to do is let go of this selective nonsense about how much better the good ol' days were

[@debbiechang5781]

That lead singer is the legendary Joe Walsh, one of the greatest guitarists ever. You saw him as part of that amazing dual guitar solo at the end of Hotel California. He played as a member of the Eagles off and on over the years. 🌺✌️

[@mrspamchop]

Joe Walsh would probably enjoy being called a lead dinger.

[@debbiechang5781]

I tried to edit that before I posted it but my phone was having some sort of spasm so I gave up at the time. It is now fixed 😂😂

[@lindenarden667]

Joe, Don, and Glen are obvious on many Dan Fogelberg recordings- Phoenix and Someone's Been Telling You Stories are standouts. You don't want to miss them if we're unaware. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@debbiechang5781]

I love Dan Fogelberg. I haven’t seen anyone reacting to his music. 🤔

[@lindenarden667]

His estate may be blocking publication. I was suprised to see any REO Speedwagon since Kevin's ex was awarded the hits in the divorce.

[@ccookie7913]

You can't go wrong with Joe Walsh! One of my faves of all time! Besides this one, 2 of the other hits to check out would be "Funk#49" & "Rocky Mountain Way". Interesting to describe with the word "Grunge". Never thought of that since the term came along in the 90's, but yes. It is the same style & I guess Joe Walsh probably invented it then. He has some distortion on the guitar that gives that crunchy sound. He's a rocker, but there's also some funk influence & other things.

[@ccookie7913]

D'oh! Reading the comments, I guess you already reacted to "Rocky Mountain Way". Some later Joe Walsh solo recommendations would be "Life's Been Good" (very long for today's short attn. spans, but they played it non-stop on radio at the time where I was growing up. He's got a good sense of humor that comes out on that one) "Life of Illusion", one of my all time faves, but unfortunately have never found a copy of the original video. (The song stands on its' own w/o question, I just remember liking the vid & wanting to see it. He was in battle gear, riding around on a tank in what looked like a garbage dump...can't remember it, because I can't find it!) ,"In the City" (theme song for the movie "The Warriors", which is fun if you haven't seen it) & "The Confessor", which came out later

[@johnnylawdawg1]

Jimmy Fox…Powerful and funky. Bass and drums heavy anchor to this song. Joes free to take those leads way out and then he gets right back into the funky backbeat that holds it all together. Joe has a very unique rock n roll voice. Love this song. Beer drinking river music…🍻

[@gkiferonhs]

ANY band with Joe Walsh playing guitar is going to have some amazing beats/riffs.

[@tjhunger8644]

You should do a deep dive into Joe Walsh. I know you have already covered him in the Eagles, and now and The James gang, but he's got a plethora of great songs in his discography. Here is a short list of great songs by Joe Walsh: Life's Been Good To Me, Rocky Mountain Way, Life In The City, and my two favorites songs by Joe are, Ordinary Average Guys, and The Confessor

[@Wordsmyth8]

They listened to Rocky Mountain Way awhile ago and they absolutely loved it - especially J.

[@DungeonBossTipsundTricks]

Turn to Stone!!!

[@tjhunger8644]

@@DungeonBossTipsundTricks you're 100% right Here is my list of Joe Walsh's solo work pulled from my MP3 player not that you asked but see if I missed any good ones, (One Day At A Time)( Turn To Stone)( At The Station)( Life's Been Good) (The Confessor) cover of Michael Stanley's (Rosewood Bitters) (Ordinary Average Guy)( Rocky Mountain Way )( Meadows) ( A Life Of Illusions) (In The City) ( Walkaway,) Do you remember him on The Drew Carey Show he played Ed I loved seeing him do comedy

@@tjhunger8644 thx for the list Indeed i do remember

[@Shrykespeare]

Joe Walsh, later of The Eagles. (Please do his song, "Life's Been Good", it's hysterically satirical.) For more James Gang, you could dry "Funk #49", "Must Be Love", or "Midnight Man".

[@69Curtdog]

Just remember..The Eagles needed Joe Walsh.. Joe Walsh didn`t need the Eagles.

[@redfishradical]

Exactly! 👊🍻

[@dbcooper2261]

Ha!

[@davidcochran6291]

Joe didn't just play with the James Gang, he was the James Gang. You should find their LIVE from Carnegie Hall if you really want to know their capabilities. Joe eventually went to the Eagles and will forever be linked to Hotel California and the brilliant side by side guitar solo with Don Felder. Joe though was as famous for his excesses with Alcohol and Drugs, as he was for his playing. Fortunately he got help and has been clean and sober for almost 20 years. Fun fact: Joe was at the final Beatle Concert in 68 at Shea Stadium. Also in the crowd was Joe's future wife and her sister who eventually married Joe's brother- in- law, who was the drummer for the Fab Four, Ringo Starr.

[@ricknblueridge]

After the James Gang and before he joined the Eagles, Joe dropped a couple of albums under the band name Barnstorm. His second album, The Smoker you Drink, the Player you Get, featured his most popular song (pre Eagles), Rocky Mountain Way. In my opinion, Joe is one of the top ten guitarists of all time.

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

Well done. So many people leave out Barnstorm. I agree, BTW, on his guitar prowess. He's easily in my top 10 rock guitarists. He's criminally underrated.

[@vicprovost2561]

Joe Walsh, all time great early on in his Illustrious Career! The James Gang was very underrated and were their best when Joe Walsh was still lead singer and guitarist. For more great studios try Funk 49, The Bomber and for Amber, Midnight Man. What you really Need to hear from them is the amazing James Gang Live album. It is incredible from start to finish and Joe gets to show all his skills on electric and acoustic guitars and Hammond organ along with lead vocals. For a jolt of electricity try the the 2 song opener of Stop and Your Gonna Need Me, those songs lead seamlessly into another and are some of the fiercest lead hard rock and blues rock guitar ever in music history. I tell you, James Gang Live will be one of the best bangers you ever hear. Enjoy! 🎸

[@denystull355]

Ashes, The Rain and I is one their best also.

[@doplinger1]

This is quintessential 70s rock, you can definitely hear Joe's influence in the Eagles here.

[@colibri1]

There've been a couple of times when y'all have listened to an early seventies rock song and said that it sounds like nineties grunge. That's because that grunge sound was reviving sounds from the early seventies, consciously. Bands from the grunge era even had late sixties-early seventies-sounding names like Mother Lovebone and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Nirvana and wore the long, natural-looking hair of the late sixties-early seventies, which had been very "out" in the eighties. Even the massive nineties rap-rock band Rage Against the Machine incorporated a lot of early seventies-sounding, Black Sabbath-style power riffs and had lyric references to sixties social justice figures like Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, and MLK.

[@sharonchaput9705]

Yes!

[@melod7670]

Everybody had long hair in the 80's.. Remember hair metal? I guess it wasn't natural though...

[@flixgirl1]

After watching all of these videos all I can think of is the t-shirt that says -- "I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands!" Back in the day we had phenomenal music!

[@jolene0602]

Joe Walsh and Stevie Nicks dated in the 80s and she wrote a song for him called Has anyone ever written anything for you. It's beautiful

[@nancysmith38]

I’m 65- was in Jr High when this came out. Joe Walsh was a great addition to the Eagles later on in his career Funk 49 was another good from the James Gang era.

Check out Funk #49. It's the best song by The James Gang. Joe Walsh, the singer/guitarist is one of the weirdest dudes in the music industry. His bandmate in the Eagles, Glen Frey, once called him "an interesting bunch of guys".

[@terryaustin5976]

I believe it was Glenn Frey (RIP) that said something like Joe Walsh is the greatest bunch of guys you could ever meet. He is a great front man and musician.

[@sachaput]

Walsh is so much fun in concert. Always doing a mix of his own stuff and material from this former groups.

[@metropolitandream]

that drummer is playing genius drums. He plays the toms like congas, and the cymbal bell work adds so much spice. But then he goes into a shuffle on the hats that sounds like brushes back and forth. That bass is heavy lifting too- he laying the bricks so the drummer can dance around. This rhythm section needs so much more recognition. Joe Walsh, we know he is wild on the frets and bends

[@Edward-pu1wt]

Jimmy Fox, genius!

Singer/guitar player is Joe Walsh, as others have said, and you guys have done him before. Rocky Mountain Way. Plus I think you did Eagles - Hotel California, where he was one of the guitarists in that dual solo.

Oh please go down this rabbit hole of Joe Walsh. He is a national treasure. Love that man !!!

[@loadedorygun]

This is one of the easiest songs to hear how a kick drum can make a track. That syncopation is something you usually hear on the snare. Kills me every time. Their drummer is like a mix of Keith Moon and James Brown’s Clyde Stubblefield.

You know the singer…it’s Joe Walsh you reacted to him before. ( Rocky Mountain way…Life’s been good..Eagles..) Also check out “ Funk 49” by James Gang. Great sound

[@guinkoo]

That’s Joe Walsh who went to join the Eagles! Serious guitar mastery!!!

[@richardb6260]

Joe Walsh had some big hits as a solo artist. My favorite being the very funny "Life's Been Good". For more early 70s rock, I suggest Uriah Heep's "Stealin'" and "Easy Livin'". Also Todd Rundgren's "Couldn't I Just Tell You" for which he coined the term "power pop".

[@Itelkner]

I saw a reference recently that said Pete Townshend called The Who "power pop" in a late sixties interview. Todd might have got that from Pete.

[@richardb6260]

@@Itelkner You're probably right. I've seen a few performances of the Rundgren song where he says it's a new genre called power pop.

[@Itelkner]

@@richardb6260 I think Todd might have got people thinking that way. At some point, it seemed to become a category. Bands like Cheap Trick and The Knack get called power pop all the time.

Joe was a wild one. As an Eagle, he was known for trashing hotel rooms. Fellow guitarist Don Felder drove Joe to rehab before Don was kicked out of the band over money issues. Check out Joe's "Life's Been Good" for a little insight to Joe.

The drummer...so many mood swings...nicely done

[@88teffie]

This is the kind of music that my mom was playing when I was a little kid. I can clearly remember this song playing at very loud volumes over giant 1970's speakers. Another deep childhood dive would be to listen to Uriah Heep. Amazing 70's tripping music. You should also try a progression from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship to Starship. It's a wild ride.

[@LearnToRefine]

You did a good reaction to Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way". Now You need to hear "The Confessor". Joe Walsh is a cool dude with a fun style and vibe in his music.

[@brolinofvandar]

The beginning for singer/songwriter/guitarist Joe Walsh. After leaving James Gang, he was in Barnstorm. Marketed as Joe "going solo", I believe the branding as "Joe Walsh and Barnstorm" was the label's idea, not Joe's. He just saw himself as part of the band. Probably the biggest hit from that era would be "Rocky Mountain Way", which also demonstrates Joe's use the voice box to enhance his playing. Then, he surprised a lot of fans (like myself) at the time, by joining the Eagles. Since his involvement with the Eagles, he has also maintained a solo career alongside, or in between active phases of, the Eagles. Hits from that period would include the likes of "Life's Been Good". Saw the Eagles on their "History of the Eagles" tour. First half of the show, they "built" the band, adding members on stage as the music moved through their history, until they got to adding Joe. Then, they took a break. The second half of the show, was largely a Joe Walsh concert with the Eagles as his backing band. They not only continued the progression of Eagles material, they also mixed in some of Joe's non-Eagles material. And Joe stepped up as front man. Lesser known about Joe are that he also guested on slide guitar for a couple of songs on REO Speedwagon's third album, "Ridin' The Storm Out". Or that he has a cameo at the end of the movie "Blues Brothers" (prison concert scene at end, first inmate to jump up on a table and dance is Joe).

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

You listened to and reacted to Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" awhile back...

[@michaelbochnia5686]

Joe Walsh is a great guitar player, my personal favorite. He also is one of the funny characters in rock history. Has quite a full life, like a big giant life party of sorts. Got himself out of the bottle and is still quite the character. Love all James Gang muse. Funk #49, Woman, Stop are great bluesy funky tunes. He also has some GREAT ballads in his James Gang day as well. Ashes, the Rain and I is special and so is the song Collage. Enjoy and delve deep, well worth the trip.

[@rray848]

Joe Walsh was in The James Gang from 1968-1971. When he left he formed Barnstorm and they produced 3 albums together from 1971-1975. But the record company tended to promote the albums more as solo albums from Joe than as from the band. Joe got fed up with the record company and left. He then joined the Eagles and was with them from 1975-1980 when the Eagles broke up. During this whole time he was also releasing solo stuff. One of Joe's best songs is "Funk #49". He released it with the James Gang and he also has done it solo. It has some great 🐮🔔 "cow bell"!!! 🔔🐮 😁

[@maineman9447]

Singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter....the legendary Joe Walsh.

[@LMmccallL57]

Haven't heard this in ages, and actually forgot about it. It's interesting to me that you guys would think this is a newer song, while I on the the other hand would definitely says it's from the '70s. Maybe because I love a lot of music from that decade and have gotten used to and can recognize the sound. I listen some classical music, but if you had me to listen to Bach and Brahms, I'm not educated enough in that genre to say that I can tell what year what was released, just by listening. Is it from the 1600's, the 1800's? Baroque? Renaissance? All I could say is "It's classical music and I like it". We're all learning! :)

I always wonder if you go back and maybe look up more info on the artists. For example you did a live version of Van Halen's Eruption but would love for you to hear the original from the album. The fact that you didn't identify George Harrison from the Beatles in that Traveling Wilbury's song. Or recognized pretty much ALL the singers in Band Aid from your reaction videos (except Bono). Just saying...

I have mentioned that before. So much gets explained. American pie best example

[@jamesholland9395]

Joe Walsh is different. James Gang, Eagles (and they really Launched after getting him), then his solos Life of Illusion and In the City were tough. I had am album of his called There Goes the Neighborhood. I was fortunate enough to see him in the mid 80's.

[@ccookie7913]

Yes! "Life of Illusion"! Only bummer about that one is I've never been able to find the original video

[@keithosmond5730]

As much as I like Joe, the Eagles were well launched before he joined them. Their pre-Hotel California greatest hits album is one of the biggest sellers ever.

[@kevinsmith4429]

Yeah,but thanks to Joe bringing all the drugs they started living their songs.Life in the Fast Lane comes to mind.

[@Wordsmyth8]

Joe Walsh is the leader of this band. You reacted to his song, Rocky Mountain Way, a while back and you loved it. Remember? Joe later joined the Eagles and has been part of that band for years.

[@bertspivey3214]

Jim Fox is a criminally underrated drummer.

[@isabellegarza9070]

Yes Joe Walsh he's another extremely talented guitar player. Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good are two of my favorites.

[@jeffjones6221]

If you haven't done Funk 49....do yourself a favor... Joe Walsh...I think it was Henley of the eagles said....Joe's an interesting couple of guys....

[@carolwilliams2439]

Finally!!!!! Thank you!!! But James Gang Walk Away Live from 1971 is the video you really need to see. It. Is. So. Raw. The entire band killin it! It’s absolutely savage.

[@ogr7771]

Thats Joe Walsh!!!! Not just "the singer" He's a legend! It's commonly said Joe Walsh joined the Eagles, those in the know say "The Eagles joined Joe Walsh" The man is rock and roll royalty, and a very humble nice guy to boot, very rare in music.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Funk 49 is the other best known song JamesGang has as far as the Joe Walsh years are concerned and then there is Tommy Bolin with James Gang who took Joe's place when he went SOLO .....

[@TheMotWay]

As mentioned several times already, two great songs to check out are Joe Walsh with the Eagles, Life's Been Good. The lyrics are too funny! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIm6p356iNypotU And the main solo song I remember is The Confessor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZeXaIOqm6xqjKM Of course, there's lots of good Eagles songs which I'm sure several have already been suggested. Enjoy!

As I understand it from an interview on the radio years ago, Joe Walsh developed his style because this band songs originally were written for five members. The singer quit and they asked Joe if he could sing the songs. Then just before their most important gig to date, a guitar player quit and they asked Joe if he could fill in and play both guitar parts. So that is where Joe Walsh developed the unique Style and Cadence that he did. Rhythm Rhythm Rhythm lead Rhythm lead Rhythm Rhythm lead.

[@timothynewkirk2654]

This is Joe Walch,'s band after he left University. Joe's from Cleveland Ohio. I live in the Cincinnati Ohio area and heard the James Gang Many times in small bars around the University of Cincinnati campus. Love me some Joe Walch! Yours, Newk from Kentucky

[@rayniecox7683]

Funk #49 please.😎😎😎😎

[@asallee2]

Funk 49 is what you want next by them

[@srag2115]

Personally, I'm a big fan of the high hat on this song. A small detail but it just enchanted me.

[@SincityRocker60]

Flange,fuzztones and scratchy riffs of pure rock!
