Other than their managerIrving Azoff and record labelElektra/Asylum, they hadprecious little in common, leastof which was a sense of humor.While Walsh was merrilytrashing hotel rooms with a custom-built chainsaw, mountinga lunatic campaign for the presidency and releasing albumswith cryptic titles like The Smoker You Drink, The Player YouGet, big birds Glenn Frey and Don Henley were getting bentout of shape over a goddamn softball game with Rollingstone.But they managed to come to a comfortable arrangement,Walsh would learn to play every song note-for-note everynight, just like on the records, and they would learn to lightenup a bit. And it worked, if only for the last two albums, HotelCalifornia and The Long RunTo this day, Walsh regards Hotel California as his finest hour."Thing I'm proudest about." he says, "was to be in the Eaglesand have a power base to make a valid artistic statement forthe generation I represent,” a reference to that album's sensi-tive, articulate probe of the decadence and desperation ofSouthern California culture. "It was a special album for a lot ofpeople, including me, to be able to affect that many people onthe planet and to feel that album was good enough to justifybeing rich."You know. Mozart and Beethoven never got royaltychecks. Forty years after Beethoven died, they found a trunk ofhis stuff in somebody’s attic and said 'Who /s this guy? He'samazing!' They couldn't even find wherehe was buried. I'm glad I had a chance to' laW ’ make a mark while I’m still around "|cthk.

Which is fine by Walsh With his newWarner Bros./Full Moon release You Bought It—You Name It,he has embarked again on a full-time solo career that firststarted in 1971 with Barnstorm, his post-James Gang debut.Walsh has little negative to say about his former associates. "Idon’t think either Henley or Frey by himself is equal to theessence of 'em ganging up together," he shrugs, about ascritical as he'll get on the subject But it does not require muchreading between the lines to see You Bought It.,. as Walsh'sreaction to the Eagles' terminally fastidious recording habits,even to his own records like 1981 's rather bloated There GoesThe Neighborhood.“I thought to myself after that last album, 'What am I doing?' Irealized that coming out of the Eagles, I was all caught up inthis lyrical/intellectual/melodic substance idea; it was inevit-able because that's what we did as a band. But I also realizedthat my job on this planet is to play guitar for the folks and I'dkind of lost sight of that.“The other thing I decided was, look, we have all this tech-nology to fix the music later. You know. 'Don't worry aboutthat—we'll fix that in the mix. We'll Dolby it, put a noise gate onit...' But what about the music? I didn't want to go into thestudio and 'cut some tracks.' I decided to get a mobile truck,find some place to go, set up with sixteen tracks—just like theold days [Yeah, the early 70s —Ed ] —no Dolby, 15 IPS, right?Roll the lape and let's play!"The first order of business was a reunion with producer Bill... 13930-8310-65
