[edit] More info needed

Did Joe Walsh and Barmstorn tour with Humble Pie in the 70's? C'mon guys, I know there's alot more info to put on here. Stuff like how he entered rehab after appearing in the Howard Stern Show and, oh, I don't know, WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT!?!?!?

There is an early 90s Howard Stern clip of Billy West mocking Joe Walsh. It came to discussion that he had been ordered by the Eagles to stop drinking and what not, and rehab had forbade him from hanging out with old friends that encouraged that behavior.

Apparently, that meant he never appear on the Stern show again. They renamed him Stepford Joe Walsh

Well, I don't think that you should complain. When a person adds things, you shouldn't delete it and complain about content. Yes, I admit it was out of place in that paragraph, but at least you could have MOVED IT TO IT'S OWN SECTION. -Damien Vryce 16:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Joe was on Stern on 8/21/06. He gave a lengthy interview, which gave many interesting facts. I was working at the time and cannot remember most of them. Anyone else have that info?--pahsons 23:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I want to know how he lost his teeth. The best I could find on google was a mocking paragraph which said that he lost them by knocking them out when using the talk box. lol --BlueStream 09:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Years and years ago, a friend of mine asserted that Joe Walsh became a heroin addict after his wife and children were killed in a car wreck; I've never been able to find any verification of this. If it's true, it's terribly tragic; if not, I've been feeling sorry for Joe for all these years for the wrong reason (this friend of mine often came up with unsubstantuiated assertions). Anyone know?

[edit] About Jimmy Page's Guitar

Can someone make it clear for us was that Sunburst Les Paul Joe Walsh's main guitar? or was it only Walsh's guitar and he gave it to Page and then it was specialized by Page?

bottom line: That Les Paul was special to Page or to Walsh? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Punkruptcy (talk • contribs) 09:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

"Walsh gave Pete Townshend (guitarist/songwriter for The Who) the guitar he used on Who's Next. In return, Townshend gave Walsh his first Synthesiser." Shouldnt it be the other way around? this makes no sense. --Krautukie 02:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Walsh had a habit of giving away guitars as gifts. He had not experimented with any type of synthesiser prior to giving a guitar to Townshend. Townshend, who had been experimenting with a Moog for quite a while, reciprocated Walsh's gift by giving him a synthesiser... since Walsh had never used one previously. What "makes no sense" about that?... except that it falls on this talk page underneath a topic header about Page's guitar and has nothing to do with Townshend. 202.160.48.156 02:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JoeWalsh.jpg

Image:JoeWalsh.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education?

Can we get more information about his education?

[edit] Teetotaller?

(moved from top of page by emw 03:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC))

I challenge the challenge as being moot. The fact remains the Joe Walsh is one of the greatest artists, singer, sonwriter and guitar player of the rock era. Let the rest go and appreciate his contributions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostbayern (talk • contribs) 23:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I challenge the teetotler part. Joe Walsh apeared to be drunk at the eagles show in las vegas. The show was at Mandalay Bay during the last week of 1999.

I second this Challenge as he was deffinately drinking beer ontstage during a tour with Glen Frey in the late 80's/early 90's which i personally saw - Idiotninja

Were there any news reports of drink / drug abuse or convictions duriing his life? These would be part of his personal life. John a s 18:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On removal of "Dr."

Academic and professional titles like "Professor" or "Doctor" are not to be used; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Academic_titles. Instead, a description of the apropriate qualifications should be included in the body text. Regardless of WP policy, one should never use a title based on an honorary degree. --emw 03:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What the fuck is that picture

Who the fuck thought a shitty line drawing of a face was a useful fucking image for this article?? 72.40.101.115 (talk) 18:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It's pretty funny. Keep it. (Totally not signing my post). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.125.55 (talk) 17:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This was my reaction exactly. It would be better to have an actual picture of Joe Walsh, but as long as nobody finds one, might as well keep this ridiculous line drawing. NickRinger (talk) 19:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
