Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the trio that Joe was in before he went solo or joined the Eagles?

Answer: The James Gang

If you're not familiar with their tunes, including "Funk #49", you're missing some great stuff!

2. Who was the other lead guitar player alongside Joe when he was with the Eagles?

Answer: Don Felder

Frey and Henley sometimes played rhythm guitar, Schmidt played bass. You see Joe and Felder trading leads in the live video of 'Hotel California.'

3. What unique guitar effect did Joe use on 'Rocky Mountain Way'?

Answer: Voice Box

That's what you hear him using it during the middle guitar solo, it sounds like his guitar is talking. Of course he uses distortion too, but that's hardly unique!

4. Which other rock musician used that effect (like Joe used on Rocky Mountain Way) on 2 of his big hits?

Answer: Peter Frampton

'Show me the Way,' and 'Do You Feel' both showcase Peter's talent and that effect. If you know the Scorpion's 'The Zoo,' you've heard it there too.

5. What Joe Walsh tune has Joe babbling in the beginning something like, 'ay oh ah beepa aba lou ah oh yea. Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!'?

Answer: Meadows

In the studio, the plan was for all the band members to babble something, but the rest all chickened out. I guess they didn't want to sound deranged! The first time I heard this, I had to rewind it to be sure of what I heard!

6. Which odd Joe Walsh tune notes Joe's fondness for a certain part of the female anatomy?

Answer: I.L.B.T's

I Like Big T...s! is the last song on the greatest hits CD, 'Look What I Did.' What can you say, the guy says what he's thinking.

7. What infamous Ohio college did Joe attend?

Answer: Kent State University

This was the site of the shooting of which CSNY sang, 'Four dead in Ohio.' Joe didn't graduate but later got an honorary degree from Kent, which is about an hour southeast of Cleveland (my hometown.)

8. Which Eagles tune did Joe co-write the music and lyrics to?

Answer: In the City

Joe actually recorded this song before he joined the Eagles, but the Eagles liked it and re-recorded it with him after Joe joined. 'I Can't tell you why' was written and sung by Timothy B. Schmidt. The other two were put out long before Joe joined the Eagles.

9. In "Life's Been Good," what line follows 'I'm making records my fans they can't wait, they write me letters tell me I'm great. So I got me an office gold records on the wall"...?

Answer: Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

In an interview, Joe once said, 'I only went to ONE party in the 70's, but it lasted about nine years.'

10. What prime time ABC sitcom has Joe appeared in several times recently, meaning 2000 to 2001?

Answer: The Drew Carey Show

Joe plays a musician whose intellect seems to suffer from too much partying in past years. Is that a stretch for him? Drew, who is from Cleveland, has always been a big fan of Joe's. In one episode a couple years ago, the show closes with Joe jammin' in live to 'Funk 49!' Click on SEND A COMPLIMENT below, I'd love to get your feedback.
