James Gang - Walk Away

As far as real hard and heavy rock goes no one beats Joe Walsh. James Gang was an epic trio that, in my opinion, rivals even that of the awesome might of Cream- there I said it. Joe Walsh may just be another ordinary average guy but he can play that rock and roll like no one else. James Gang always had a good drummer and bassist, and at the time of this recording the line up was Jim Fox and Dale Peters, respectively. This song is what real rock and roll is about, it is pure emotion in an explosive way, not the shit peddled by the record companies in our era. Dashboard Confessional, Akaline Trio, AFI, Fall Out FUCKING Boy have no clue on were they should start to make true and honest and rock and roll. Because, when you get right down to it, down to the nitty gritty, down to the heart of the matter, down, all the way down, rock and roll is just the blues. And if you are going to play rock and roll, you have to be versed in the blues; and, Joe Walsh, he can play that blues.

So some people may cry and moan that Joe Walsh was in the Eagles and thus loses all credentials in the rock world. I have two things to say to these people: 1. fuck you, the Eagles are great and 2. I don't have anything else, so just walk away...
