The result was Walsh’s biggest solo hit and one of classic rock’s most enduring feel-good anthems.
By July 1978, the mid-tempo track’s laid-back groove, talk-box guitar flourishes, and deadpan humor had pushed it into the Top 40. It reached No. 12 in August and held there for two weeks, enjoying overall a 15-week run.
“Despite being a fantastic blues rock gem from that year, I can’t remember the last time I heard it on the radio,” the outlet recently wrote. “Plenty of Joe Walsh’s other hits with the Eagles make it to classic rock radio stations today. ‘Hotel California’ and ‘The Long Run’ are just a couple of examples. But ‘Life’s Been Good’? Not so much, from my experience.”
“[The new version is] just this tongue-in-cheek, kinda ridiculous song about just f—in’ off and having a bunch of money,” Dirty Heads co-vocalist Jared Watson shared on the Tuna on Toast With Stryker podcast, via UCR. “Not that we’re these giant rock stars like Joe Walsh or anything, but we liked the take on it in that we are probably in a little bit more comfortable spot when it comes to [success]. And we could still make it tongue-in-cheek.”
“It was recorded during an Eagles session,” legendary record producer Bill Szymczyk told Best Classic Bands. “One day during Hotel California, it was just [Don] Felder, Walsh, and me. Felder had a laugh—someone would f--k up, and he’d go, ‘Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.’ That was his laugh.”
