How Walsh made it out of the '70s is a miracle of science.

[@rockhero2274]

Rolling Ormond Same thing can be said about Keith Richards.

Rolling Ormond How he made it out of every decade is a miracle of science. Same goes for Ozzy.

[@sherihart7154]

He and several others from back then. They all are very blessed to have made it out of that era. As much as I wish I didn't have to get old, I am eternally grateful that I grew up back then and actually got to enjoy these great musicians from back then, as it was happening. They are unsurpassed and legends in many ways. It was so much fun.

I ran into Joe Walsh at a big box store in Cleveland. He was buying a Mounds candy bar, and his tour bus and entourage were waiting outside. He probably could have sent a lackey, but that’s not how Joe Walsh rolls. When Joe Walsh wants a Mounds candy bar, goddamn it, he gets it himself.

[@dirkgibbens377]

I saw him in an interview, I believe with Howard Stern, where he says after leaving the James Gang he moved to Colorado. He had written the music to Rocky Mountain Way but had no lyrics. While he was mowing his grass, thinking about his move from the James Gang to Colorado, and seeing the views of the Rocky Mountains he came up with the lyrics. He stopped the mower and went inside and wrote them down. Yep, while mowing his own grass 👍

Walsh is actually scary smart even after all that brain damage. His German brain, the composers brain like Bach or Mozart.

[@stephenstills2]

I agree about Joe Walsh's high level of intelligence. He was the main spark behind The James Gang, and then he smoothly transitioned over to the Eagles, substituting soft, almost easy-listening rock for the much harder, more genuine, electric guitar rock front and center, embodied by The James Gang.

[@kitcobain444]

A decade or more ago, Joe Walsh was interviewed on my morning radio show. He recounted that he'd seen Ozzy recently, and they discussed that they had toured together at some point in the 80s (I think), but neither of them remembered it. They knew they'd done it, because they had posters that said they did. He said "There were a couple of years that are kind of - kind of a mystery to me..."

[@josephgardner5059]

I'm 27 and I always knew him from "Funk #49" by the James Gang and his solo work like "Life's Been Good" and "Rocky Mountain Way".

Walsh said one time him and Belushi were not allowed into a restaurant because they had jeans on, so they went and got black spray paint, sprayed their pants and went back to the restaurant. 😆

[@scottburns2600]

You probably had to sign a waiver if you were gonna go out and party with Belushi and Walsh

[@skooby_doobie_doonkann3334]

I can honestly say that I get tired of every interview with Joe having to do with his history with substance abuse and partying. The man has been clean for so long now and he isn't the first or the last musician who has a history of drug addiction and alcoholism, not to mention, hasn't he created such great music with two successful groups and as a solo artist, can't we talk about that? His guitar solo with Felder on "hotel California", the use of the talk box pedal on "rocky mountain way", anything but his partying days

[@waynej2608]

Yeah, his close buddy and brother in law, Ringo Starr was one of Joe's heavy party co-pilots, from back in the day. Like Walsh, Ringo got sober too and has been for decades, like Joe. Yet, Ringo hardly ever gets questioned about that time period. But, Joe is almost always asked. Well, at least he's kept his humor sbout it all.

[@barryanderson3910]

If you can find the short interview on Live From Daryl's house, it's interesting. He talks about creating music in today's market. Also, unrelated, but watch his appearance on Whose Line is it anyway, where he does improv with 7 or 8 other people. I'm sure you've heard that someone (one of the Eagles?) once said "Joe's an interesting bunch of guys".
