Which Joe Walsh is your favorite?

I really like the one that plays guitar.

Rocky Mountain Way by far the best he did...

I prefer his solo work most of all. Of course, his work with James Gang and Eagles is also fantastic.

well, to be honest, I don't hate them quite as much as I used to. most of my reasons are pretty silly and selfish but then, I suppose I'm a pretty silly and selfish guy.
I heard "Peaceful Easy Feeling" on my favorite FM radio station and THAT was the moment that I decided music had gone to hell. now, I'd heard the same song on AM radio and it didn't bother me so much - it seemed to belong there.

The Eagles sounded like a cash register to me. Now, I know people have gone into rock and roll to get rich before and always will. Still, what I heard in the music of The Eagles was the sound of rock and roll becoming part of the corporate skeleton that seemed to be reaching every aspect of my life. now, I'm an oldster and I suppose I never really expected 'the counterculture' to last. still, it sounded like Bubblegum music to me and worse, it seemed to me that it's objectives were the same - make 'the kids' buy records.

the critics I read and every kid I knew fell in love with The Eagles almost from the beginning. I thought it was an evil plot to control my mind and still did until very recently.

besides, Don Henley owes me money!

Well I like alot of The Eagles stuff, but as for as Joe Walsh goes I believe His best work is with The James Gang.

One other thing about Joe Walsh. I believe Jimmy Page and Pete Townshend both got credit for something they picked up from Joe Walsh. A Les Paul through a Marshall.

All the footage of The James Gang from '69-'70 shows Joe with a Les Paul through a Marshall. Page played a Telecaster grinthumb props to Jimmy) and Townshend played Rickenbackers, SG's among others during that era.

It's a well known fact that Joe gave Jimmy Page a '59 Les Paul in 1969 and The James Gang toured with The Who at that same time. And Pete Townshend has said Joe gave him advice on settings.

Coincidence? I think not. Those two pilfered Joe's signature sound faster than you can say Baba O' Reily and Black Dog.

Joe Walsh was part of this. He does a song with "James Taylor".

He does, two songs on DVD-2; Funk-49 and Rocky Mountain Way

Joe Walsh, is fun, happening, and looks great !!!!

I went to see REO Speedwagon when they were on tour as the backup band to Joe Walsh in the 70's(Can't remember the year). I really liked Gary Richrath's guitar playing. That is why I went to the concert. Richrath was good, but Joe Walsh was great! I always liked The James Gang, but I left that concert a big fan of Joe Walsh. It was a solo tour. It was after Barnstorm.

Midnight Man, is a hauntingly sweet song that Joe Walsh recorded back in 1971, off the album, Thirds, when he was still with the James Gang.
