@mjbab73 Yes,Joe's sound helped,but as im tryin to say ,was not the ''ONLY REAL TALENT'' in the Eagles.No songs,no record deal and no gigs, no matter how good, is your style.By the way, I'm talkin' about the Eagles here, not The J G. J W is not ''considered'' a great guitarist ,but ''is '' a great guitarist, with great charisma and humour in my opnion,,but one man's guitar cannot hold a band together!!!!
@bobbyd612 Songwriting can make a band great, however musicianship accounts for a great deal of it IMO. Ie; The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Phish...A good, identifiable guitarist is NOT a "penny a dozen"; George Harrison, Jimmy Page, Trey Anastatio are/were NOT replaceable. Joe is considered a great guitarist and his identifiable sound can he heard. Again, solo and w/James Gang he wrote and played timeless music. The Eagles started as a session band backing up Linda Rondstat. Joe's sound helped
@mjbab73 Lets start again,! J W the only real talent in the Eagles?Bands become great,I my opinion, because of the strenght of the songwriters, and for me, thats were the talent lies,guitarists are penny a dozen ,.This song of T.B.S is below par,he even had to take songwriting lessons to bring him up to scratch,and believe it or not , but simple hooks and choruses are what make great songs..and the longevity of musicians careers.by the way , I do not strike low blows ,i just see it like it was.
@bobbyd612 Yes, Joe didn't write much with The Eagles, but he did help them break from the constant country-lite sound. He in his solo career before and after, and also with The James Gang wrote many GREAT songs...Most of them completely timeless which I don't believe you could say about this song nor any other efforts by Eagles members accept for maybe Henley, and I'm being generous saying that because Don's music was simply hooks and chorus...Formulated. Low blow on Joe's alcoholism, eh?
@mjbab73 no chance ,he who writes the songs is the talent! and joe's pen or pencil did not feature in too many of the eagles tunes, life in the slow lane,!he was probably too busy drowning a bottle of liquor!!,and fighting with every one over a guitar riff!!, but those days are well gone now.!! except for felder look what happened to him.out, we don't need you either, long live the Eagles.
totally forgot about this one. wow. Good thing the Eagles eventually got back together.
