He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally prettyShe held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heartof the cold, cold city: Both are sociopaths / narcissists that were perfect for each otherHe had a nasty reputation as a cruel dudeThey said he was ruthless said he was crude: Same as above.They had one thing in common: they were good in bed: Bonnie and Clyde-type relationshipShe'd say, 'Faster, faster. 'The lights are turning red.' This is one of several songs where the lyrics are talking about a particular drug.

There are more I can't think of them off hand right now. Just listen to the lyrics next time and if you have had any experience with that drug it will make perfect sense.The doctor says he coming but you gotta pay him cashWe went rushing down that freeway,turned around and got lost, we didn't care we were just dying to get off and it wasLife in the fast lanesurely make you lose your mind-everything all the time-After the first bit he even asks 'Are you with me so far?' Letting you know this ain't a song about a guy and girl who have a lot of sex as one submitter put it.

Has called himself an 'ordinary average guy,' which is something of a stretch for a man who's written some of rock's greatest riffs, from the James Gang's 'Funk #49' to the ' 'Life in the Fast Lane' and his own 'Rocky Mountain Way.' Walsh's offstage exploits are similarly the stuff of legend: He's hung with Hendrix, freaked out Elton John, leveled hotel rooms with the likes of Keith Moon and John Belushi, and even ran for president (his platform: Free Gas for Everyone) – all while consuming enough vodka and cocaine to fell an elephant. 'I never imagined how far down one could go,' Walsh told Rolling Stone recently about his years of abuse. 'But I went there. And it was a long way back.'

Now 68 and sober for more than two decades, Walsh has righted his course. He released a well-received album, Analog Man, in 2012, and is currently out playing sheds on a co-headlining run with Bad Company, on the aptly named. He checked in with RS from a (presumably intact) hotel room in Arkansas to look back on his roughly half century in music. 'It's a pretty good list of songs,' he remarked about the ones discussed here. But, he added, 'I don't think I'm done yet.

There's still some more stuff I want to say.' Before we really started writing our own songs in the James Gang we'd play covers, and then in the middle of them we'd go for a jam for four or five minutes. At some point we had six or seven of those sections, and we didn't need to cover other people's songs anymore. We took those jams and wrote words to them, and that was really the first and second James Gang albums.The 'Funk #49' jam was one we always happened to crush, so we recorded it for 1970's Rides Again. How'd we get the name? We said, 'Hey, this is that funk jam we have!'

And it seemed like we were counting how many times we ever played it. We thought it was right around 50. But we were in the studio with Bill Szymczyk, who was our engineer at the time, and he said, 'It couldn't have been 50.' So we said, 'OK, well, 49 then!'

I was credited with playing 'train wreck' guitar on this, but that's really just because of the end of the song. You've kinda gotta put on headphones to hear it, but I took a guitar and did a full-on Pete Townshend with it in the background, where I put everything on 10 and turned the fuzz tone all the way up. I took the guitar off, threw it up in the air, put it on the ground and jumped up and down on it. I didn't light it on fire, though, because you can't see that on an album.

That would have been stupid!The James Gang once played a gig in Youngstown Ohio with Hendrix. Sly Stone headlined. We all had a dressing room. Well, Sly had his own dressing room. Which he rarely came out of – especially when it was time to go on! But Jimi was great. His guitar was sitting there, and I was looking at it and he said, 'Go ahead, pick it up.'

And I had a beautiful Les Paul, a 1960, and he checked that out. So that was special. And then Sly went on about an hour and 20 minutes late.

We left – along with half the audience. 'Turn to Stone' was written about the Nixon administration and the Vietnam War and the protesting that was going on and all of that. It's a song about frustration. Also, I attended Kent State. I was at the shootings. That fueled it, too. In those days it felt like the government's priority was not the population.

They had an agenda that was about something other than doing what was necessarily good for the country.A few years later in 1980, I decided to run for president myself. Note: Walsh pledged to make 'Life's Been Good' the new national anthem. I thought it'd be a great idea and I had fun with it.

And the reason I did it is because there was, and there continues to be, a very apathetic attitude toward voting. There's a total separation between the federal government and the people. So running for president was an attempt on my part to get people to care enough to go vote. But people just don't bother. And that's why it's not working. I had left the James Gang, left Cleveland and gone to Colorado because Bill Szymczyk was there and so were a whole bunch of other people I knew. We had the Smoker album pretty much done 1973's The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get except we had this one track that was an instrumental.

I couldn't think of any words and everybody was patiently waiting for me to come up with something.One day I was in my backyard in Boulder mowing the lawn and I was thinking, 'Boy, I sure hope leaving the James Gang was a good idea!' Because I hadn't really surfaced as a solo act yet. I was almost there, but not quite. And then I looked up and there were the Rocky Mountains. It was summer but you could still see snow on the back range. It just hit me how beautiful it all was, 5,000 feet up. And that was it – the words came: 'Spent the last year Rocky Mountain way/Couldn't get much higher.'

And the second verse is about my old management – telling us this, telling us that, time to change the batter. I got all of that at once.

And I ran inside to write it down before I forgot it.Only problem was, I forgot to shut off the lawnmower. It kept moving and went into the neighbor's yard and ate her rose bushes. Cleared a little path straight through. So those lyrics wound up costing me, I don't know, maybe 1,500 bucks. But it was well worth it.

The neighbor, though, she was pissed. I said to her, 'You don't understand!

I got the words!' But she just looked at me. I was married at the time and living in Boulder. My wife was taking our four-year-old daughter to school and some lady ran a stop sign and creamed our car. And I lost my daughter. And it was gory and all that.

To help with closure, I wrote this song for her. And over the process of the next year, my wife and I, we just weren't strong enough to get through the grief and so we separated and eventually got divorced. But I met a girl in Los Angeles, and my song 'Help Me Through the Night' was to her about being there for me. Because I was a wreck. But she was there so that I could grieve Emma.Both of those songs were on my next album, So What.

I called it that because I had this 'so what' attitude. I was really mad at God. And I felt that was a great reason to drink. God took my daughter away.' And so I got an attitude, like, 'This is the worst thing that's ever happened. I don't care about anything.'

Just to justify that it was okay to get screwed up. We were looking for input from me – Joe Walsh, rocker – that could be the foundation for an Eagles song. We had a couple false starts on stuff and hadn't really found anything. But one night I was in my dressing room getting ready for a show, and I had this one lick I'd play over and over as part of warming up.

Because it's really a hard lick to play. And that's 'Life in the Fast Lane.' And Don Henley came in and said, 'What the hell is that?' He went and got Glenn Frey and I played it for them. They said, 'Is that yours?' And I said, 'Yeah.'

And they said, 'Well, there's our Joe Walsh Eagles song!' Don and Glenn, but mostly Don, put the words together, and Glenn kind of arranged it. And there it was. So it's a Walsh/Henley/Frey tune, and I'm really proud of it.Glenn was such a great musician, but if there's anything I remember most about him, it's his friendship. He helped me in a lot of ways.

He helped me sing better, but he also helped me with matters pertaining to how to live. I just miss Glenn. The lyrics, I didn't want to use 'em. I was gonna replace them with something more rock and roll. But drummer Joe Vitale and Bill Szymczyk said, 'No, these words are wonderful. They're legitimate and you gotta use 'em. And I was thinking, 'Well, they're kind of dumb, and the song will either be looked at as a satirical, funny song or it's gonna not be funny at all and it'll go down the toilet as one of the worst things ever written.'

That's what I was afraid of.The stuff about hotels 'I live in hotels/Tear out the walls', years earlier the James Gang got asked to open some shows in Europe with the Who when they premiered Tommy. And over that period of time one of the scariest things that happened to me – ever – happened. And that was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.

And, you know, when he liked you, you just smiled and nodded yes. Especially if you were in the opening band. So he became my guru. Over the course of that tour, he taught me the art of hotel damage, of destroying things, of making things that blow up, of superglue madness and mayhem, of trashing rent-a-cars just causing as much trouble as possible.After the tour was over, I came home and just continued that tradition. Later on when I went solo from the James Gang I hooked up with my manager, Irving Azoff, and I was opening some shows where it was me and then the Eagles and then the Beach Boys and then Elton John the whole summer of '75. And I was wild and crazy.

Life In The Fast Lane Eagles Lyrics

I was very entertaining to everybody, except Elton, who was very nervous around me. Because I was very unpredictable. He didn't particularly want to stay on the same floor I was on at the hotel. Right after that it was my birthday and Irving thought it'd be funny to get me a chainsaw. I was supposed to leave it at home but then I joined the Eagles and I took it on the road.

One night we checked into a Holiday Inn and he and I were supposed to have connecting rooms. But we didn't. So I started up the chainsaw and made my own door.

And I walked through it and said, 'Hey, we have connecting rooms now!' Irving never dreamed I'd use it. But now he knows about that. I did junior high school in Queens and high school in New Jersey. But I lived in Santa Barbara for about four or five years and I met a guy there named Barry De Vorzon. He was working on this movie called The Warriors, and he explained to me that it was about gangs in New York.

Would I do a song for it? He and I came up with the words after reading the screenplay.That movie still has a cult following.

Shaquille O'Neal once told me it was his favorite film ever. But when it first came out it didn't really get any recognition, and the song was just on the album. But Don and Glenn thought it could be a brilliant Eagles song, too. They said, 'Well, look, let's redo it and give it the recognition it deserves.' So we did for the 1979 Eagles album The Long Run. I start the riot in the final scene of The Blues Brothers. Note: Walsh plays a prison inmate who begins dancing on a table while the band plays 'Jailhouse Rock.'

The part of the movie they were filming in L.A., there were hours between set changes. And John Belushi would call me up and say, 'I can't sit here. I have nothing to do.

Can you come over and hang out?' I hung out in the trailer with Danny Aykroyd and Belushi and they decided they had a scene for me in the movie. So that's how that happened.By that time, John and I had been friends for a while.

I met Belushi on the road in Chicago. He came to an Eagles concert. He showed up in my room and didn't leave for two days. He wanted to show me how cool Chicago was, and he took me out to the finest restaurant. There's a whole story with that with how they wouldn't let us in because of the way we were dressed. So we went and spray painted our jeans black and went back. Then we did about $28,000 worth of damage to my hotel room.When the Eagles stopped in 1980 I kept going.

I didn't really want to admit it had ended, so I just kept the same mentality and lifestyle. And the way I wound up was that the only thing that mattered to me was not running out of cocaine. And also vodka. Vodka, cocaine and Camel Light cigarettes. Those three things.Gradually, I stopped writing music and I stopped taking care of myself. I burned bridges.

I was not dependable. I didn't make any sense a lot of the time. Musicians didn't really care to work with me anymore.

I had an 'I don't care about anything' attitude. My day – and it was really hard work – was spent trying to find a dealer who would front me some cocaine when I still owed him for the last batch.

And if I was awake, I was drinking. I was just empty. I was godless and I took it about as far as a I could go. And I'd seen buddies go away. Keith Moon took it all the way. Belushi, he had gotten sober. And I helped him do it.

He said, 'Look, I gotta quit. Do you know a sober companion?' I said, 'Yeah, I know somebody. But you're gonna hate me for getting him for you and you're gonna hate him.

But he'll get you clean.' And John was doing great. Then he fell off the wagon, and on and on. I was with Joe Vitale at his home studio in Ohio one night.

We were feeling really good and we decided to write this. It's 'I Love Big Tits,' but we named it just with the letters. Then we put it on one of my albums 1983's You Bought It – You Name It and the record company missed it. They never bothered to play the whole album and they just thought it was about some kind of a sandwich or something. It came out and then they heard it and they called up and said, 'You can't do that.' And I said, 'Well, you shipped it three weeks ago.

It's a little late to just be listening to it for the first time!'
