{#Yes}That's right and those that say it is still a good song, blah, blah, blah. We do not argue that it is not a good song, it is just human nature that constant repitition takes away enjoyment. I don't know why people have so much trouble with that obvious concept.{#Stupid}

I don't care that this is simple, unadorned, and primitive.  It is gutsy rock and roll, and Joe could make that guitar ... and the wah-wah ... do whatever he wished.  James Gang Rides Again — several classic cuts off that one, baby.

And I'm thinking they were from DEEtroit.  Sorry, calypsus_1, but they certainly weren't from the big ATL.

This one took me way back to a place my folks rented over the summer and the only rock n'roll in the house was an 8-track tape: James Gang Rides Again.  We played that thing to death. Good memories.

Read Don Felder's tell all autobiography Heaven and Hell. The subject matter is in the book. Bottom line of his view was this; Joe, Timothy B., Bernie,Randy M. great guys. Glen Frey, big ass-hole, Don Henley, a talented big ass-hole.

Great tune. I saw Joe Walsh live in a tiny club once. He was so drunk he could barely stand up, much less play. It was still entertaining in a dark comedy sort of way. We amused ourselves by trying to guess which song he was attempting to play.
The upside was that the opener, Danny Gatton (the now late Danny Gatton) was f*cking great.

This always makes me think of my late cousin Phillip. I remember hearing it for the first time in his living room in Lodi, California. Couldn't get enough!

Rest in Peace, Phillip.

Ole Joe .. he is quite a character — as in a really likable gentleman — when not in the stage persona.  For the Hams, he is WB6ACU; sends code with a Blue Racer Vibroplex about 30wpm.

He's also a ham radio operator. He collects classic Collins Radio equipment.

Yup... been a fan since their first LP back in '68. Glad to hear some of the Gang being played on RP, inasmuch as THIS is classic rock!

Yes, one of the great musical groups out of Cleveland (hence Joe Walsh's cameo on the Drew Carey show).  Others include the Raspberries, Brownsville Station, Henry Mancini, and of course the greatest symphony orchestra ever (CSO under George Szell).

Alas, I don't care what anyone says.  You people need to listen to the first 3 releases by the James Gang - then give me your conclusions on the excellent songs and specifically, guitar work of Mr. Walsh. 
Stunning music that never gets enough credit. {#Yes}

I totally agree, and I am sad to say this song instigated the first time I have ever turned RP off because of the music.

Only momentarily, of course.

Please relegate this song to the over-abundant classic rock stations infesting our radio dial.
