I thought it was interesting to rewatch the Hell Freezes Over DVD after having seen the History Of The Eagles movie. They talked about how Joe was "a little dark" until about halfway through the HFO tour. In the interviews, he is kind of lethargic, and recent interviews he is very chipper and energetic. I think it shows how close we really came to losing Joe in the early 90s. Thank God for more reasons than just the great music The Eagles got back together. I don't think I've ever seen anyone have a bad thing to say about the quality of human being Joe Walsh is.
kbaim... that guitar player is Stuart Smith. He had been on the Don Henley tours so he was a no brainer. He is a session genius delux to say the least, and he's a big fan of MM guitars. I very much so miss Don Felder as he is one of my favorite all time players, but so is Joe, and Stewart really fits the bill.
