Tman Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The number one reason I always carry a slide. rct The number 1 reason I always carry a talk box. Wait a minute. Seriously, I've been playing this song since it came out; a bunch. Needless to say, important in my guitar playing career. Funny thing is, I always crank it whenever I hear it playing. Love it.

matiac Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Talkbox...I must have one, although I think I'd be attempting to emulate a certain British gentleman who's recently been re-united with a long-lost love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I like Joe too. Though this is another of those beat to death by radio songs. One of the best things about Joe to me is his acoustic guitar playing. He put it all over every album. It gets a little overlooked by the electric stuff sometimes - same could be said for Keef... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf6Z6UBz6ws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Though this is another of those beat to death by radio songs. There's a video clip of Joe introducing "Rocky Mountain Way" from one of Clapton's Crossroads festivals. He walks up to the microphone and says... "If I knew I was going to have to play this song every day of my life, I would have written a different song!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I never heard any of those songs again, I'd still remember every note from my youth! Just trying to point out that the catalog goes a little deeper than what the radio has force fed us. I imagine Joe would appreciate you checking out his other stuff - not just the hit(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I dunno why, but while annoying neighbors, I always seem to gravitate toward "Funk 49", or put on the talkbox wannabe in my Digitech and play that part of "Those Shoes" where he says "BURN UP, BURN UP!"...I've always enjoyed listening to just about anything from Joe Walsh, or Peter Frampton, or Joe Perry, or even Sambora's talkbox stuff...I need a Heil...maybe I'll just make one...

MrNylon Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I saw Joe in West Palm Beach when "Rocky Mountain Way" was released. He played some James Gang songs, and then was doing some songs on the piano. A good number of people were wanting him to bend some strings. So he said, "alright, you may like this". He played the the opening notes to "Rocky Mountain Way", and the place erupted. So loud, and clear, it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 That's why you were forced fed those songs,the people called in and want to here them over and over because they were that good Right. Repeated play on mainstream radio always equates with quality. That's why this gem has been played way more than Rocky Mountain Way on the radio. Guess the wrong people called in...

LarryUK Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9sRIsvjXI This was one of my biggest influences to want to be a guitarist. I remember seeing this clip on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' Years ago and I was astounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 In 78/79 we were playing at a club on the west side of Jersey, in the sticks, but popular with the Pennsy crowd. Place was huge and would have four bands playing at a time in shifts. I remember one night all 4 bands played Rocky Mountain way. You'd think the crowd would be upset. Nope, they rocked out for each rendition. Ours was the best of course...... just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
