Turn to stone - Joe Walsh

[DaveyTheDark]

I love this song after i seen lords of dog town i loved 70's music a couple months ago i use to lay in my bed with some cigs and smoke with the lights out and this song playing it was weird but it made me feel like the only real thing in life is music now music is sorry but its kind of a joke its all about drugs and sex. <3 70's music the only other good 70's ive found is Neil young. any other stuff like that any one can think of? if so message me some good stuff thanks

[thewriter1008]

Sweet. Did some rapper sample this, though? Or are the tags trying to attract more people?

[icfnord]

happy birthday joe

[steverino47]

Like the bass heavy cut better, but this is the more well known version. Great song either way.

[malunguinho]

Hahahah this is so fun! Makes me want to blend up a pitcher of Kahlua slushies, snort a fat line of snowflake and then roll a big MauiWowie bomber to take into the hottub on the deck ahahahahha those were the days man.

[sgtscruffy56]

@malunguinho I'll drink to that!

[Shpundler]

That's why they call me the Shpundler......Cause I even shpundled my favorite song!!

[Shpundler]

Such a sweet, sweet version. I can even do the rhythm in text, check it out, bow wuh wuh wuuuuuuuh, bow wuh wuh wuuuuuuuuuh, bow wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh, bow wuh wuh wuuuuuh!!! lol

[SE779]

Better than the ELO version, IMO.

[jwmellott]

@SE779 haha

The only competition over this song is Joe against Joe.

[SE779]

@jwmellott This version is far better than the other version Walsh did. I'm comparing the 2 I like the best.

[frostybrew13]

@SE779 why compare the two songs? they only share the same name. the lyrics arent even similar

[BlackenedKnife]

Lords of dogtown

[TheKidbosco]

Here's one to bend your id: what, exactly, IS the Rocky Mountain Way?

[thanksforthemessdick]

@TheKidbosco better than the way we had?

[MurderAt1300]

Heard this song on Supernatural

[sean57]

plugged in the eight track of Joes on a pioneer supertuner , drove out to the street drags and drank beers and smoked some weed and watched the chick that I never had.

but Joe always rocked even when the tape wound up.

[demerzzel]

listen Roy Buchanan's version, very good one :) and Roy is the man!

[thanksforthemessdick]

@demerzzel it is good but a completley different song,but a good heads up .thanks.good ear

[375GTB]

THE RIGHT VERSION, GOOD SHOW!!

[thebigeffyou]

this song is so sexy!

[thebigeffyou]

theee BEST version.

[gangtwanger]

BTW, this is actually my favorite version of this song. Usually I despise remixes, but in this particular case, I think it worked. The added delay and reverb livens things up a bit. Listen to Joe's vocals on the original "So What" version and you'll notice his vocals are mixed dry, with no delay, Compare it to the "Best Of Joe Walsh" album and you'll hear the difference. I bought the "Look What I Did" comp, and found they used the earlier Barnstorm version, Took me a while to find the remix.

[gangtwanger]

A couple things: First off, the Barnstorm version is an earlier recording and they do it a little differently than this one (Not as funky). The "So What" version is a re-recording of the song. Now, this is the "So What" recording, however, the version heard here is actually a remix of that recording, which I believe was done for the "Best Of Joe Walsh" compilation. I didn't realize this until I went back and listened to my "Best Of" LP. Some added delay and reverb on his vocals. Compare the two.

[jmckis]

F'n incredible!!!! After all these years it's still one of my favorite songs to get me through a sh!tty day. Thanks Joe.

[55pogue]

my opinion---the worst thing joe walsh did was jion the eagles

[ecm1985]

@55pogue why ? they made some of the greatest music of all time together.

[Milo137]

Years ago, I began referring to Joe Walsh as "The Master of Slow Rock". Still think it fits. For those who may have missed them, I'd say his best work was his first three solo albums: Barnstorm; The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get; and So What. I still remember when I first heard the song "Falling Down" from So What on the radio, and I ran out and bought my first Joe Walsh album. Still one of my favorites.

[alpeyone]

lord of the dogtown

[shereewalruff]

this song is what real life is about..........

[g5uk]

I was born in stone,therefore I became rock

[punkydoodle]

This is a ton better than the version I hear on the radio :D

[hittingnote75]

This is my favorite version of this song.

[gasforus]

Joe Walsh: fantastic musician, songwriter, and guitar player!

[lerxst990]

Frey and Henley doing the "Sto---ooonne" background vocals...But listen to them during the outro solo...amazing vocals, tucked away in the background..

[WhiteWidow904]

@lerxst990 frey and henley was not in this, this is when joe played for barnstorm. barnstorm was so un popular they just called it joe walsh and barnstorm.

[witchman1]

Brokein hand, jamming this song, needless to say, I sucked as I was in great pain, but I sucked it up and made it through about 1 hour of jammin with joe. Joe probally knew I sucked(he didnt know I had a broken hand) my instructor put me head of the fight teamColorado Assissins. Cause I endured the pain. Wish I could have immpressed Mr. Walsh instead of my instructor, well anyway, I got to ask Joe if his mazarati really did 185..he just laughed and we kept jamming. Just a memory to me, cheers!

[grossmgm]

and last but not lease Classic Joe Walsh

[JBlove30]

LYRICAL GENIUS

[beelzabubba]

[metalcharger17]

[therodski1]

Back to the 70's when Album bands ruled

[xxdrzombiexx]

@therodski1 Before Corporate Rock sucked the life out of rock&roll

[witchman1]

I have a storie about joe and i at jim harkins studios in the 70's. Your all too young to hear.

[dirtyTony666]

@witchman1 please tell us ......

[wesjoe311]

@witchman1 I'm 28....tell me, dammit.

[witchman1]

@wesjoe311 Ok, I was about 17-18, joe and I were in the same karate dojo. I had to fight a black belt in sparring, he broke my hand with a kick, I bowed out, went to the office, the head instructor of the dojo is(was) named Jim Harkins ( google him, he was a master ass kicker), anyway, as I got to the office, Jim knew I played guitar in a local band, who was sitting there with a guitar in his hand? Joe Walsh, Jim handed me his guitar and Joe said lets jam(very informal) there I was with a

[pdm4pdm4]

seems like in the 70s there were a ton of masterpieces. this is one of them.

[jlr41877]

@pdm4pdm4 Yes there were,both versions are equally as Great,they both send the same message.

[malibu5967]

Smokin Hot~~~~sizzle!

[NDulge1]

Got any gum?

[budmotor]

i have  a mirrorball album

[AncientAtheist]

I agree with this being the best version... thanks for posting it.

[AZRacer2000]

Nope, he said he used to say he was from everywhere, especially if a show was going bad! LOL But he actually moved back to KS from LA and bought his Grampa's old farm near Emporia,KS to get away from the 'rat race" he said! Peace!

[AZRacer2000]

One of the good guys in Rock n Roll! hes from my hometown, Wichita, KS. He founded the James Gang, also gave Jimmy Page his first Les Paul goldtop...Saved the Eagles from death...quite the list of accomplishments!

[filerocktheworld]

@AZRacer2000 It was actually a '59. And he sold it. :-)

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

saved the eagles from death? LOL the eagles were already fucking big when he joined. HAHA and don felder is the better guitarist in the eagles. Joe himself has said it.

[AZRacer2000]

It is widely known that the Eagles were near breaking up when Joe joined them! Plus I never said a thing about who was "better"! Joe is Joe, and he does a great job! Peace!

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

HAHA! Get your facts right man! When Joe joined them, the Eagles were already big, with the release of their Greatest Hits, which is to date, the biggest selling album in the USA. Joe only joined after that, before they started on their Hotel California album.

[AZRacer2000]

I never said they werent BIG dumbass! Only that they WERE about to split up! My facts are right! Get a life! I just enjoy music, not going around trying to correct other peoples comments!

[Zynx812]

The Eagles were known for "almost breaking up" since about 1972. It was their way of changing the lineup/chemistry of the band instead of just saying that this person left and we're getting this person. Remember the "Hell Freezes Over" tour? What do you suppose brought that on? In an interview, Don Henley actually admitted that it was "planned", and it was going to be like The Who... just not 1,001 "Farewell" tours. On that note, did you hear that they're touring this summer? Enough said??

[bambini990]

@xXxFatalClawxXx Gotta disagree with you big time here. Eagles were very quickly falling off the map pre Walsh. Remember if Joe said that (better than Felder)he was more than likely being kind.

[rodgkwa]

Well there's a change in the wind

You know the signs don't lie

Such a strange feeling and I don't know why

Its takin' ... such a long time ...

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN'T LAST VERY MUCH LONGER, TURN TO STONE!!! AH It's so bad ass!!!

[20Z9]

I love this version.

[blitzspeer]

Walshes' best song;has a lot of heart and is fun to listen to.

[StayingBack71]

I just love the ending.........Felder helping out with the ooo's and aah's.... excellent arrangement!!

[mysticantiques]

Anyone ever hear this on, (OMG!), eight track? There was a loud scream between the ending of this song and the beginning of the next.

[rockinroller7]

@mysticantiques Yeah, it's also on a "favorites," called "Can't Argue With A Sick Mind."

Joe always seems to come up with some great album titles, never taking himself to seriously.

Peace.

Rock

[wndebu]

@mysticantiques I had a cd version that was cut in the 90's with the scream. Tons of weird stuff in Joe's albums. Hidden gems.

[ratfreak8871]
