The talk box in this song is perfection - adds so much 70's rock slappin' hard once again - so grateful I grew up back then!

Joe rejoined the Eagles when they reunited in 1994 and is still with them. He was already well known for this song and the James Gang before he joined the Eagles in '75. He is married to Ringo's sister-in-law.

You should check out Joe Walsh “Live at Daryl’s house.” Daryl Hall of Hall and Oats. They do this song, and “Life’s Been Good.” They really jam, and you can see him use the talk box.

Joe Walsh actually got the Hiel talk box first (of all the chart topping rockers). Then David Gilmour from Pink Floyd used it recording song from ANIMALS in 1976. That is the same time then that Peter Frampton started using it for his songs. The Hiel talk box technology was used in 1979 to create "Pitch Correct" , an amp add on, keeping the singers voice in the same key as the band, electronically. 18 year later, "autotune" would improve on the sound, but it was still just cheating. It was not an accident that as soon as people with no singing talent could cheat, almost instantly, music videos were born and suddenly dancers and models became singers and MTV was born for all the "pretty people" to become music stars. This was the start of the decline of musical talent leading to such calamities as Eddie Murphy's "party all the time, Milli Vanilli (2 guys lip synching to songs they didn't even sing on) and William Shatner Sings! Choreography became "the show" at concerts instead of musicians, and then MTV became a "reality" show network in 1994 and hell ascended upon us.

FYI you were smiling the whole tune, I can tell you liked it. I saw the Eagles in St Paul a couple weeks ago, and they slipped this into the playlist (they played several others as well). Love this one. Joe got tired of being in the James Gang because it was just a trio, and he had to play both Rythm and lead guitar all the time.

My family lived in Wichita for a while and my younger sister had quite the crush on Joe walsh. She recognized him for what he was, kind of a working class hero. And the thing is his mother lived like three blocks away down the street and he would come back to Wichita now and then and walk his mother's dog. And when he was there he would do it everyday. And so she found herself it's like strategically timing and positioning herself out doing some flower bed gardening which by the way she had zero interest and she was just kind of acting it out just to be there to say hi to him, laugh. And he was a pretty personable guy when it comes right down to it.

Fantastic song, from the album with the greatest album name of all time, in my opinion: The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get. Fun album, fun song. My favorite Joe Walsh story comes from an interview I was watching a few years ago. The interviewer asked him, paraphrasing: "Are the stories true about all of the wild things you did back in the 60s and 70s?" Joe's response, paraphrased, was: "Yah, I don't remember most of it, but I've read the police reports so I know it all happened." Yes, he's a funny guy, too, when being interviewed.

Only three people, as far as I know, have successfully used the Voice Box device. Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh and Joe Perry, from Aerosmith. Seen them all live, but Frampton was playing as a Special Guest Guitarist in David Bowie's band on the Glass Spider Tour, so no Voice Box. But Mr. Walsh and Mr. Perry both used it when I saw them, both more than once, and they ALWAYS did a great job with it. Plus the rest of their music, naturally. Joe Walsh is WAAAAY underrated.

Besides the Eagles, five-decade career has also included solo work and stints in two other successful rock bands: James Gang and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. He was also part of the New Zealand band Herbs. In the 1990s, he was a member of the short-lived supergroup the Best. JOE is the Godfather to Roy Orbison III. There is video on KZitem of Roy Orbison III playing Rocky Mountain Way with Joe when he was 3 years old. He has also taken Roy on stage with to play this song.

Here's some info. Joe went from James Gang and formed a band called Barnstorm. You're listening to Barnstorm when you're listening to Rocky Mountain Way. Eventually he joined the Eagles but he was famous before the Eagles were even a band. James Gang go back to the 60's and played at Woodstock. Joe was ahead of Peter Frampton on the talk box. Rocky Mountain Way is one the very first songs a talk box was ever used on.

I have to say that the "Live at Daryl's House" is one of the greatest versions of this song, which has been covered by a few bands but never matches Joe's original version. Joe is one bad a$$ and has so much influence on guitarists it's insane. The Jimmy Page story is hella fire cool too. So much of Led Zeppelins greatest stuff is recorded with a guitar Joe Walsh personally gave Jimmy Page... mind-blowing.

Joe's bio that you read seems incomplete. Yes, Joe was with the Eagles for five years, but that was only because at the end of those five years, the Eagles broke up. The same line-up reunited in 1994 for the "Hell Freezes Over" tour and Joe has been with them ever since, on every album and tour. Joe has also maintained his solo career during his time with the Eagles and during their "hiatus", releasing several solo albums and going on tour. On one of those tours, he teamed up with Glenn Frey as a dual headliner tour. Joe was very much a wild man prior to 1994. He had drinking and substance abuse issues, which he has publicly commented about and even wrote songs about ("Life's Been Good" touches on his drinking). As a condition of the Eagles reunion in 1994, all members had to be clean and sober. Frey and Henley held an intervention, which Joe credits in part to why he gave up the drinking and drug use. This was related by Joe in the "History of the Eagles, Part I" documentary. He wrote the song "One Day at a Time" about his newly found sobriety. The reason you see Joe linked with Ringo Starr's All Star Band is that Joe and Ringo are related by marriage. Ringo is married to Barbara Bach, most famously known for being the Bond girl in "The Spy Who Loved Me". Joe is married to Barbara's sister, Margorie. They were married in 2008.

I am NOT one of those boomers who bitches that no great rock/pop music came after, ahem, “classic rock”. (I know better)😉 I jumped into Punk and New Wave in ‘77 (it was time to pare back, “classic” had become mannerist, sinking under its bloat) loved Nirvana, then saw god😆 in hip hop rap slam poetry & never looked back. BUT it’s way fun to hear some of these greats so many years later and see young people appreciate. I never understood at the time why Walsh wasn’t bigger -almost no one knew him (among my circles I was the only one who had his albums) and only very rarely heard him on the radio. I’m not sure about chronology, but it seemed his “southern blues-rock” was drowned out by the Allman Bros tsunami… They were undeniably great, but I personally preferred Joe. It is heartening to learn the last few years that he was well known and respected by the musicians of his era ✊🏽
