The only thing we really added was the percussion middle part, which the three of us actually played, putting some parts on top of the drums, but that's the three piece James Gang, and that's the energy and kind of the symmetry we were all about." It was a real good example of how we put things together, bearing in mind that it was a three piece group, and I don't think that there was any overdubbing. Walsh explained the writing of the song, ""I came up with the basic guitar lick, and the words never really impressed me intellectually, but they seemed to fit somehow. The song got its title as a sequel to Funk #48, a song from the previous album. Most of the song is a vehicle for Walsh's guitar performance. The lyrics focus on a wild girlfriend the singer cannot tame. Much of the song is instrumental, drawing from Joe Walsh's guitar, Dale Peters's bass work, and Jim Fox's drumming.

They should form a Joe Walsh & Ween supergroup. James Gang was an American rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966. Joe Walsh doesn't really care what anyone thinks of him, nor did Ween. Listen to Walsh's "The Confessor" and tell me that you can't imagine it being Ween at their most bombastic, rock-serious (but for some dated, pre-Ween production flourishes). Ween, during their prime in 1992, used to cover "Rocky Mountain Way" live. He wrote a vulgar, sexist song called "I.L.B.T.'s", Ween did "L.M.L.Y.P.". Much of his early career was created in the constant haze of drugs and alcohol. He's incredibly talented, influenced by a slew of different musical styles (including reggae, like Ween are: check out "Life's Been Good" and tell me the verses aren't built on reggae), he loves playing the clown, yet can dive full-on into the extreme side of rockism and revel in it. I have a new theory: Joe Walsh is the immediate spiritual and, to some degree, sonic precursor to Ween. ![]()
