Joe Walsh is an American treasure, such a perfect blend of chops and insanity. A model rock star.
Good call! He stopped drinking so he could enjoy a cocktail every now and then!
You my friend have a way with words. That was perfectly put
Got to meet him through a car window while he has leaving Ringo Starr's birthday concert at the Ryman Auditorium about 10 years ago. Super chill and nice guy.
Always loved him and his style
@@MagnusOpite34 Thanks, sometimes it happens.
"The worst thing that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me."- Joe Walsh
Before Eagles
Joe Walsh has had quite a career. The James Gang, the Eagles and of course his solo stuff.
life's been good to him, so far.
@@zzz7zzz9 😅
@breathe and squeeze Ba bam!!...Lol
@@zzz7zzz9 he's been lucky that way
@@auralfixxation6702 don't forget his time in the ringo all Starr band
Oh hell yes!! Joe Walsh is so bad ass!! You know a song is good if it has FUNK in the title! 🤣 He's one of my favorite guys in all of Rock. I adore him! Check him out singing "Rocky Mountain Way" Live At Daryl's House!
I saw the Barnstorm tour back in the day. Joe played at the colosseum in Evansville In.. I was literally leaning on the stage about 8 feet from his mic stand. I think I paid like $8 to see him.
@@BlazinRiver1 i remember seeing you there .
That whole set at Daryl's house is killer.
@@BlazinRiver1 Joe ran for President in 1980. His campaign model was "Free Gas For Everyone" 🤣
Great band. Joe is quite a song writer and guitarist, he has been in many bands including The Eagles, and a great solo carrier, he is a well respected musician.
Don't forget actor. He was in the Drew Carey show.
You have to respect The Confessor!
And he's Ringo Starr's brother-in-law.
Joe Walsh was in the band "Eagles". There is no "The Eagles". It's one of those things that Don Henley gets a bit fed up with when people keep repeating it all the time.
@@richardsmith1161 He was the first inmate to stand up at the end of the Blues Brothers when the band played Jailhouse Rock.
You guys should react to…
James Gang - Walk Away
🎸🤘
This song is fifty years old and still sounds as great as it did when I was a kid. Joe Walsh live is a trip watching him perform.
When I was in high school we all had phony ID'S and went to Kent,Ohio to drink and watch the James Gang in a basement bar called JB'S. This was a killer jam band. I went into the Navy in 68. Came home and they were huge
Great memories
What a cool memory!
Back at you, man! I was born and raised in Kent, OH! Born in '69 so too young for James Gang but we all had fake IDs to get into JB's Down too!
And like all Funk it's bass driven. Simple repetitive guitar part while the bass player goes to town. Those guys were an excellent band!
Don't forget Jim Fox on drums. I really felt he was similar to Keith Moon...with the drummer being the lead instrument.
He basically founded the band, but all due credit goes to Joe Walsh for cementing their final sound.
Hard to find a signed, 3-piece band that doesn't just crush it!
And, oh how Dale Peters went to town on this one! One of my favorite intros of all time, n I'm a 70s kid.
I noticed that right away with all the bass runs very seventies. Iiked JAMES GANGS and this was ground zero. I was in the army and it takes me back.
Rocky Mountain Way is equally good and features a talk box. Same guitar and singer but Joe Walsh on his own.
Saw him live with Ringo's All Star Band. I also love "I Broke My Leg" (A hidden gem) by Joe. I also love "Ordinary Average Guy" by Joe. By the way.....he played the guitar in Hotel California. Funk 49 is the first song I learned to play on the guitar.
He played ONE of the guitars on Hotel California. Don Felder played the other and actually wrote the music.
"Problems" and "Slow Dancing" are two good ones that never get played also!
The Bomber
@@heidiblackwell4672 Lex would certainly dig the Reggae feel of "problems". Never thought of that, but it is certainly a tune that would most likely hook her on Joe Walsh. I just love that entire "Confessor" album. After my ex-wife left me, I used to brisk walk to get down to my playing weight. I walked to an auto repeat of "Good Man Down" off that "Confessor" album. The perfect "waist trimming" pace with the perfectly aligned motivational theme. "You can't keep a good man down." That was years ago of course. Damn. This was so helpful to me that I'm going to put it in the main comment section.
Where you might have heard it before: "Funk #49" has been used in many films, television series, and video games since the 1970s.
It was used in the films Rounders (1998), Detroit Rock City (1999), Beer League (2006), Can't Hardly Wait (1998), Out Cold (2001), The Girl Next Door (2004), The House of D (2004), The Dukes of Hazzard (2005), Invincible (2006), Sleepwalking (2008), Straw Dogs (2011), and War Dogs (2016), and the end-credits of Joe Dirt (2001).
It also appeared in trailers for the films Grown Ups (2010) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
It appeared in the 2002 documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys.
It appeared in multiple television series' incuding Hawaii Five-0, Supernatural, and Cold Case, season 1 finale of Entourage, an episode of The Sopranos titled "Soprano Home Movies", two episodes of Caught, and the 2nd episode of the Apple+ series For All Mankind.
It was featured in a commercial for Fox Sports 1.
The song was also featured in several video games including Rock Band, Rocksmith, Test Drive Unlimited, Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned, and the Telltale video game Guardians of the Galaxy.
Now that's a lot of exposure.
Kudos to Joe and the gang.
Great list. It was also in a Miller Lite comm that ran from late 80s to early 90s.
Thanks! I was trying to remember the commercial(s). I have got to do a search so I can hear that commercial again.
@@nonplayerzealot4 Thanks! Gotta try to find it to hear it again. It’s been bugging me for some time now.
I believe It was also in The Devil's Rejects
I remember reading the liner notes on a James Gang best of written by the drummer Jim Fox. He said they supported Cream and The Who in their early days, and they weren't ready for the eccentricity and aggression of British bands. The guitarist Joe Walsh is a pretty colourful guy himself. So entertaining on stage.
Tommy Bolin replaced Joe Walsh when he left to join The Eagles. The Bolin years were pretty good too.
Joe Walsh has some great Keith Moon stories
I think the 'familiar' part that Brad is referring to is the song 'Footloose' by Kenny Loggins.
Exactly what I was going to say...
But I think of that every time I hear this.
Espn is using it for their NBA games
You two are great! As a guy who is 60, you certainly play a lot of the music I grew up on in the 60's and 70's, which I sure do appreciate. It is so refreshing to see someone from another generation rock out with a song from the greatest era in rock n roll history. Thanks again.
This song is just killer with an incredible bass line!
Now you should listen to two of their best songs, "The Bomber" and "Tend My Garden."
The Bomber is my fave! That Bolero solo is really cool :)
Walk Away, and his early solo stuff, like Meadows, is a lot of fun too :)
The guitar riff has been used in many places. From Car ads on tv to it playing over the pa system in your local grocery store.
Nasty groove...Walk Away
The song lives up to the title.
It is indeed a "Funk" groove.
It's interesting that Lex talks about the order. I've often thought that a pair of reactors would get a much more accurate idea of what rock 'was' if they went year by year, and heard the expansion and branching of the ideas for themselves.
Yes. From the day they first appeared until they started playing Vegas.
Every guitarist has their own tone and style. And Joe Walsh definitely has his own! You need to do "In the City" from the movie "The Warriors"
You may remember him as one of the dueling guitarists in Hotel California.
You guys have just heard the most under rated and best guitarist ever! From my hometown Cleveland ❤
Funk #49 might be in my top 10 favorite rock songs. Awesome stuff.
Brad is right, we hear deep soul seeping from it - in each 3rd strum group the wah-wah zings.
I’m an old 60s and 70s music guy and love watching y’all’s reactions. Brad as calm as can be an Lex rocking out. Awesome!
Check out Joe Walsh “Life’s Been Good”. Everything he sings about is true.
A Life of Illusion is also an underrated song from a few years later.
Oh, takes me back. I was only 18yrs old when I got this album. Joe Waltz is absolutely awesome. This was the kinds of music and sounds that where we heard every day. And I believe that Joe Waltz's music will go down in the annuals of musical history, just like all the great bands of the 60's.
Spot on Lex. Chronological context is so important when listening to new music.
Guitar and Bass in this song are right on target!!!
was about 17 when this song came out loved dancing to it. wore the album out. love your reaction smiles and love to you both
Hey kids, that was fun watching the guitar blow through your head as it panned between your headphone speakers. Congrats to the 2 of you btw.
Thanks for reacting to this song. It was a well known secret, that this song was listened to over and over in 1969, as it had a huge following, they even opened for Led Zeppelin in a lot of venues. Finally, my fave play before going out on a weekend night!
The funk #49 riff has been used in many movies, like War Dogs, Guardians of the Galaxy, Joe Dirt and many more. Very timeless riff.
Thank you so much for doing this one!
"Past life." Great answer.
Funk 49 was one of my favorite tunes when I was in high school and it still is.
A few years ago, a reunited James Gang played this on The Howard Stern Show.
“whatchu tryna hand me?” favorite lyric.
My first concert. 15 years old Central Park NYC Schaeffer concert series. Wow what a way to start my music experience. Wild scene girls and guys in the Mens room drinking wine smoking pot and selling assorted drugs. Crazy times but such a great show!
Many years later he joined the Eagles. He was already famous, so his influence was huge. His guitar and vibe is noticed in whatever he does.
Not to be a Grinch, but I am sooooo glad you've finished with the Christmas tunes and got back to rock!
"Walk Away" is another gritty one from James Gang.
I can remember sitting down learning this song. 1st time I heard it. I was like ....Wow ...I want 2 play that.
Great Video 👍😁👍
Gotta say, love me some old Joe Walsh! Glad to have seen them in concert in Chicago way back in the day. Cheers....
Bringing back some good memories.
A MUST HEAR CLASSIC,, THE TUBES "SHE'S A BEAUTY"
This song is played in road trip scenes. It was used like that in epi 6A1 of The Sopranos and in 'Rounders" (1998, good movie), and many others. I only can guess that it evokes a road trip vibe like Slow Ride by Foghat and Free Ride by Edgar Winters Band. Those are alt songs for those same kinda scenes.
I saw them live in the early 70's. What a show that was .
Thank You!
'"Funk 49" from the thirds album and so is 'Walk Away". It is "Walk Away". that was the big hit. but everybody talks about funk 49 and that is why you may have heard parts of it.
I loved the James Gang. Thanks
This has been used in quite a few movies and commercials in the 70's and 80's. it's one of those quintessential 70's songs so is used to represent the time period
I love watching Lexi's face as she wraps her head around a now banger.
It's in movie trailers all the time, guys. That's probably where you heard it.
1. Jack n Ginger
2. Dale n Jim. . Sensational !
They used to play all over my area (Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, Kent, Cleveland) when I was in high school and college 1967 - 1971.
Partial list of soundtracks: Guardians of the Galaxy, GTA IV, War Dogs, Joe Dirt, Can't Hardly Wait, Beer League, Invincible, The Devil's Rejects, Dukes of Hazzard, Detroit Rock City, The Sopranos, Hawaii Five-0.
There are several more soundtrack appearances for this song. No wonder it sounds so familiar to a young person who hasn't listened to it a million times on Rock Radio in the past 50 plus years. Personally speaking, I never get tired of the best stuff from Joe Walsh and company.
I’ve heard this song on a million commercials during basketball games for years and years it seems.
Joe Walsh is the one who gave Jimmy Page his first Gibson Les Paul Guitar. The James gang opened for Led Zeppelin a few times when they first came to America to tour and promote their first album.
A song I've heard hundreds of times growing up on the radio but never knew who it was or what the song was called. Didn't even know it was Joe Walsh until I read the comment under mine and recognized his sound immediately, lol.
Joe is one of the greatest characters in R&R. and his music kicks ass!
He reminds me of like an alternate reality version of Les Claypool
I HAVEN'T SHOUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN OVER 20 YEARS, BUT WOW, it just occurred to me how much you guys might like this Deep Purple song, particularly Lex, but I bet you both would really like it.
It's the finale of that Machine Head album that also had Smoke on the Water on it, for example. Many songs from that album became huge hits and this is what they ended the album with, like it is their big finale to end the record. It let's us directly hear Jon Lord and his mastery over his cantankerous tube-driven Hammond organ and he plays it through a Marshall stack, so he gets some pretty good distortion and it blends well with the guitars..
He is featured for the drawn-out dramatic intro, and it shows you how much in control of that difficult instrument that he is. And then the band is phenomenal as always. After the intro, it leads with a blazing guitar solo and then the keys play along with guitar lines and then play off of them in other sections, until until he trades solos with is the lead guitar. Lazy:

I always heard that line as, "You don't think I'll blow your plan" rather than "...know your plan"
You should go through the entire first album, "Yer Album".
"Funk 48", "Fred", great covers of "Bluebird" and Lost Woman", ending with a 12 minute song called "Stop".
Walk Away is a good one from them, also check out studio version of Grand Funk Railroad: Rock N Roll Soul
Funk #48 is even better! What a groove, the drums sound awesome, and it's just a killer jam. My only gripe with it is that it is too short a song. Check THAT one out for sure.
I saw the Eagles in 1995 - huge fan - and came out a big Joe Walsh fan. That guy has presence and energy that’s amazing!
Y'all want some serious 1970s funk?
Brick - "Dazz"
Marvin Gaye - "Got To Give It Up"
Commodores - "Machine Gun"
Funkadelic - "One Nation Under A Groove"
I know because I lived through it.... :-)
Start a little earlier with Skin Tight by the Ohio Players. Played all their own instruments. And came out before their bigger hit Fire
This guy actually runs for president every 4 years! No joke...I'd vote for him...we could use a little funk...
deadly tune. Rock on Brad & Lex
Walk away and midnight man are my absolute favs
ok so.. GREAT reaction. Love watching you guys..
The song you were thinking of, Brad, was *Footloose.* Now do *The Bomber,* one of the James Gang's best of all...
My favorite Joe Walsh quote is " I don't remember touring with Black Sabbath, but I have the posters to prove it. "
Jimmy on drums is the unsung hero.
The little part that you thought sounded familiar may sound a little like "Footloose".
I saw Joe in the early 80s as the lead-in act to some major headliner. Joe was so good that I don't even remember who the headliner was.....but you know, we actually only went to the show to see Joe anyway, to be honest. He was great and the crowd was really into him. Check out his appearance at 'Daryl's House'. A great set.
It’s called groove children! It’s got GROOVE! LOL! ✌️
This is one of those albums without a bad song... a real gem.. Joe is a national treasure
This was released in 1970. Absolutely Amazing!
"James Gang" had several very good songs. For Me the song "Must Be Love" is my favorite. It's a short song but I really like the vocals.
That's Dale Peters on bass. He carries this jam.
Yep. It sounds familiar because some of the best guitar "hooks" of the Eagles band belong to Joe Walsh himself. Good ears to you both
wow ty ty ty
Everyone is familiar with funk 49. Great song. A lot of people don’t know about funk 48. I like it a little more. Give it a go.
Named after the Drummer,Jim Fox. In my opinion, one of the finest drummersof the early the era.😉
Yes!
I was 12 or 13years old listening to Joe Walsh , still listening to old school Rock
" The Bomber " from The James Gang is a banger !
Classic rock radio!.
It's about time!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
Live "Walk Away: James Gang
Kind OT: There is a AMAZING version of this song on an episode of Daryl's Place (Daryl Hall music show) with Joe Walsh....crazy, crazy good episode. Try to find it if you can.
And Rocky Mountain Way!
Used to cover this song with one of my old bands. Such a fun ass guitar riff to play!
Just a badass rock and roll song.
Joe Walsh is from a really small town called Mantua Ohio which is like 15min away from where I live. I played at some of the same clubs the James Gang played at in the early days around Kent, Akron and Cleveland Ohio.
I remember listening to this whole album late 60s into the early 70s my first introduction to Joe Walsh what a career he's had
Joe Walsh attended Kent State in Ohio at the time of the National Guard shooting of anti-war protestors on May 4, 1970. He wanted to major in English and minor in music. He said the shootings affected him deeply and he dropped out to pursue music. One day the piano player didn't show up and from then on one of the band members' MOM sat in for him.
Fun fact... In the 70s the James Gang played with such bands as Kiss, Aerosmith, Rush, Black Sabbath, and Alice Cooper. Just to name a few
