Joe Walsh replaced Bernie Leadon as the Eagles lead guitarist and the first album with Walsh was, 'Hotel California.'

The album was a major success thanks in part to three hit singles,"New Kid In Town","Hotel California" and "Life In The Fast Lane" which was co-written by Walsh, Don Henley and Glenn Frey.

The opening riff was devised by Walsh before "Life In The Fast Lane" was even written and he shared it during an Eagles rehearsal.
