The man who made "Hotel California" sound like a fever dream and "Life's Been Good" his personal anthem, Joe Walsh has spent five decades proving that rock guitar is best served loud and slightly unhinged. A former wild man who famously trashed hotel rooms before getting sober in the '90s, he's now 78 and still touring with whatever remains of the Eagles. Between his well-documented past excesses and current senior status, Walsh gives "life in the fast lane" a whole new meaning.
