    Joe has an incredible sense of humor and this is a self-satire of his fortune and fame at the time ~ When Eagles met with him to discuss getting back together and said they couldn't do it without him, but they couldn't do it unless he got sober, he wanted so much to be in ~ But it scared him in many ways, and one way was, he didn't think he would be as funny if he was sober ~ Good for Joe, he achieved sobriety, and he is still a funny dude, not to mention a great guitarist, songwriter, bandmate and a host of other good qualities.

    @DF-ee8vt 4 года назад +170

    In case you don't know, Joe Walsh is a constant comedian - both in person and in music. The title of that album is "But, Seriously, Folks", and shows Joe under water - just because. At one point in this song, you hear a door closing after " . . . when you can't find the door". The whole song is good-humored hypocrisy as he claims fame and fortune hasn't changed him, it's all the people around him who have changed. I think the laid-back tempo and length of the song is meant to add an air of obnoxious arrogance to match the song's message. It was unique in 1978.

    "Life's Been Good" is a satirical song about the excesses of the Rock Star life. Owning homes you've never been to, an office you never go to, living in hotels while on tour and destroying them out of boredom and then having your accountant pay the bill. All the while portraying an image of having it all together, even though you really don't.
    For a more serious side of Joe Walsh, check out "The Confessor". It's a slow build, but a great song.

    This is an incredibly tongue-in-cheek song. Remarkably self aware, making fun of himself, fame and his understanding that he's enormously privileged to be where he is in life. "Everybody's so different, I haven't changed". Yeah, right - and he knows it. Of course there's a flock of "wah-wahs" at the end. Icing on the irony cake.

Walsh explains it's just a sort of practice/warm up lick he uses and the rest insist that be the riff on a new song, it's too good to not record at some point.

Next song I recommend is "The Bomber" or "Walk Away". The Bomber is longer and a musical journey from Heavy Metal to symphonic. It's not to be missed. Walk Away is fun and I would consider it Popish.

    Forgotten how good this track was - good to be reminded. As for the salt comment... priceless. Congrats on 80K subs too guys. :-)

    “Rocky Mountain Way” should be next but try and play the Eagles (with Joe Walsh) version, live from the Capital Center in 1977. Joe is a character who had lots of fun doing what he does.

    The Joe Walsh guitar you seek is in the song, "The Confessor". And the lyrics are strong too.

    If you ever heard Joe Walsh in a interview, he has a great sense of humor. He's a very funny person as well as a great guitarist and songwriter.
