Before Joe Walsh<\/a> settled into the Eagles, things were tough. Like with every musician trying to make it work, his story was much of the same \u2013 a talented man, looking for something that would stick.<\/p>\n Go to any famed guitarist\u2019s Wikipedia page, and the tale is likely the same. Unless they were lucky enough to be an essential founding force in a group that went the distance, chances are there was some back and forth going on as they moved from band to band to band. <\/p>\n Before Ronnie Wood joined The Rolling Stones<\/a>, his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 was long. Even the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton played in lengthy lists of different groups, in varied forms and lineups. In the music world, players are traded like hot commodities, so it\u2019s rare for one guitarist to have simply stayed in one place forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n But while that\u2019s common, it doesn\u2019t make it any less settling. It\u2019s not like in football, where players are traded or sold for higher bids. Instead, the changing over of bands usually came after a collapse. One group would break up, and, at least for a moment, the guitarist likely thinks that\u2019s it, it\u2019s all done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
