That guitar solo is SICK!!! Felder and Walsh are fuckin' LEGENDS!!!
Absolutely! I loved Joe's stuff after Eagles. ILBT's is one of my fav's!
The band had so much individual talent that they broke up. But enough class and wisdom to reunite.
What about Don Henley the singer drummer...
When the band broke up..he became an individual artist & has so many hits ... check him out ...I was 16 at hi school grade 9.... Grabbed this L P WHEN I WAS 21...ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT ROCK BANDS EVEN... LISTEN TO THE BEST OF THE EAGLEs
RIP 😢 JEFF HEALY PASSED AWAY A FEW MONTHS AGO..
LOVE & RESPECT FROM
TAMILNADU - CHENNAI
SOUTHERN INDIA 🎉😂
@@chrisklema9992at their concert I went to last year Don Henley said “Hey, we didn’t break up… we just took a long break!”
@mjames8188 that's funny, though iirc when asked if they'd get back together, they said, "When hell freezes over". And that's why their reunion tour and album were named as such.
"I'm mad at my parents for not showing me this;" is the best reaction I've ever heard. Right on, brutha!
I have a 33 yr old son. I have tried and tried to get him to love the music of my younger years and he is just not into it 😢. He doesn’t mind Queen (thinks that Freddie is a legend) and I nearly fainted when he mentioned Led Zeppelin to me once. He’s into Rammstein (who I love too).
He'll come around! I'm 75 and I'm still learning. I'm hearing Haley Reinhart and Angelina Jordan and I'm now into vintage jazz and blues! I've always loved 50's, 60's and 70's rock and roll. I watched jazz and blues from the b/w movies and shows but it just didn't hit me until now.
@Shermanite0623
If you're checking out classic jazz have you discovered Ella Fitzgerald yet? She honestly has one of the best voices I've ever heard. I highly recommend looking her up if you've not heard her yet. If you like Louis Armstrong she has quite a few duets with him.
Have you heard their acoustic live performance? It's my favourite version of all. The solos are, in my mind, way better. Whole thing has a real nice flamenco feel
@@karenglenn6707 Ask him to show you all the music he's into! You can make it like a trade back & forth. I'll bet HE'LL nearly faint, first time you recognize one of his artists songs sampling a song you know from way back. Besides, he might tune you into something good, too!
The most poetic description of addiction ever put to music
That's what I hear as a recovering addict
Same ❤
@@joquail000 "4 + 20" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young is a beautifully spare & wrenching description of someone still in it. Paints a devastating picture. Do listen, but not without an emotional support friend/doggo.
You didn't even mention that the lead singer is also drumming AT THE SAME TIME as sounding so pristine, and not missing a beat on either.
I've always been amazed when people do that...
I picture myself trying, & my singing devolves into gibberish as I accidentally kick over my entire drum set & have to be helped off the stage. Not just singing & drumming, but on such an iconic song...wow
@@andychisarick6879 imagine the thousands of hours of practice required to achieve that.
Karen Carpenter was another example of a drummer who was great at drumming AND singing. She really liked doing it that way and struggled so much when the Carpenter's "people" insisted she be up front singing with her brother. But yeah, Don Henley ROCKED this song.
Favourite saying of my favourite boss at anyone's farewell…"this place is like Hotel California - you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." He was such a great boss in such a great place to work that people did just keep coming back.
Genuinely one of the best songs ever made.
Can we all appreciate how difficult it is to play the drums and be the lead singer at the same time. Don Henley is beyond talented.
always been a mystery to me, how can he do that. Madness
One of the greatest songs ever.
This is the true definition of letting a song breathe. It comes alive in the unfolding. They don’t do that anymore.
radio stations weren't so cool on it lol but the song had momentum like a steamroller.
Also, it was literally straight from the California beach scene since Don Felder came up with the music whilst strumming his acoustic guitar to a drum machine in Malibu Beach
I don't agree when you say you were born in the wrong era. I say you're the right man in the right place at the right time to fight the powers-that-be & keep rock n roll alive as all of us old rock fans fade away. Keep your chin up & keep fightin' the good fight, we're with you man...
Oh so well said!
Ditto from me in South africa
we get to have it all!!!!!!!!
Boomers, when you demand old music to be respected you must also respect new music and not ignorantly dismiss it all
@@xmathmanx Not seeing any of that here. Perhaps you’re responding to the wrong post?
Grew up listening to this song and it never gets old.
If you start down the Eagles rabbit hole, bring a tent, food, etc. You're in for a loooong journey! ❤❤❤
But well worth the journey, well worth the trip.
@@KuscosPoison indeed!
Can i come , remember America. Have a good night🤠
"The music that was made back then is not made today". God bless you Cliff. You are so right. We need to keep all GREAT music alive!
Any time I see a table full of people ignoring each other while transfixed by their phones I think of the line from this song "We are all just prisoners here of our own device."
Same! We didn't have cell phones so we listen to the music
It’s of our own divising
When people ask me what my favorite guitar solo is, I tell them my favorite guitar solo is a duet.
That’s back when they actually played. Loved growing up in the 70s and 80s
I always assumed the Eagles were talking about the entertainment industry. They sell you a beautiful dream, but once you're in a contract, you're stuck and you can either die or keep existing within the beast. And if you try to leave, there's someone there to deliver that thinly veiled threat... "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
The industry is a monster, but many artists have found that there is an escape hatch. For many, it's sobriety and finding other ways to get their art to the people.
God bless you for doing what you can to fight the power.
I have always thought Sign of a Great Song is...... It can mean different things to different people and/or It can mean Differnt Things at Different Stages of your Life........
I have heard that interpretation too. And yeah, the line about “checking out” (dying) but never leave (even after you’re gone you are still there).
It always reminded me of another industry-working in and visiting a brothel…🫣
Upon first hearing it years ago, I had an impression of a near death experience venturing between heaven and hell. The voices in the corridor would be the much talked about long hallway or corridor in NDEs. The woman he meets would be the spirit guide people have talked about in an NDE.
The "check out" line aged like fine wine as a metaphor, seeing the language that now has to be used when discussing suicide on this platform
Best line ever from a reactor: “Now I’m mad at my parents for not showing me this!” Keep on keeping on☺️
Now you MUST listen to "Take it to the Limit" sung by Randy Miesner with an angelic voice!! It was there 1st million seller!
@wendymotogirl THEY DID HWAT?!?!?! HOW DARE!!!!!
*their and no exclamation mark.
The guy in the red bandanna is Joe Walsh, he sang Life’s Been Good. The guitar duet at the end is his baby, pure poetry.
Actually the guitar solo is Don Felders(the guy with the double guitar) baby. Joe just chimed along on this one.
REACT TO THAT!
For decades, the #1 selling album was the Eagles Greatest Hits Vol 2. This song being a main reason for that throughout the late 70s, 80s and 90s.
And to think that the producers wanted them to cut the guitar solo/duet at the end "because it made the song too long". The Eagles fought for it, making it one the most iconic guitar solos in music history.
I’m glad they fought for the guitar solo
In an interview, Don Henley (drummer) said this song is about the journey from innocence to experience.
Of our own device means literally...Of our own making. We got ourselves into this mess.
In the 70's, no cell phones.
@@lauragompertz2647 Obviously.
I have seen the Eagles in concert 3 times. They were incredible! If you close your eyes and listen to them they sound EXACTLY like the studio version of their songs. Unfortunately, their main lead singer, Glenn Frey, passed away in 2016. He wasn't the lead in this song though. The singer here is Don Henley. It is such a shame that many of the great legends in music are passing away. 😢
Cliff, this is an iconic song so it's no wonder why you've at least heard the chorus.
I was 15 when this hit the airwaves. I saw them a couple of months ago in concert. Vince Gill standing in for Glen Frye R.I.P. They are still phenomenal!!
It was genius for them to add Vince Gill, he is a perfect fit!
Eagles greatest hits is the biggest selling album in American history. A must have for every collection.
Bigger than Dark Side of the Moon?
That would be a yes@@pamala2112
@pamala2112 and Back in Black. But yeah, it's the best selling album of all time.
You were born in the right era because the past is accessible now. If you were born in a different era you would have to wait or never make it to the next great era.
It’s Don Henley (drummer/singer) who is obsessed with taking the videos down and has given interviews dedicated to getting rid of UA-cam channels who react to them. Even going after musical instrument lesson channels who teach you the guitar part melody or whatever.
But yeah you’re absolutely correct.. I watched another channel who went through Spotify stats and proved the ones who obsess over copyright stuff (Beatles, Eagles, Hendrix, etc) are dying while others who freely allow it have basically been “revived”.
Yeah, it makes me sad because some of my favorite songs are Don Henley's solo career. I almost never get to see reactions to them.
Sadness......
In the Beatles and Hendrix cases and most other bands and singers that's the record labels or maybe family...in Eagles case it's Henley.
@@olanaowen7320here’s the link for the video if you are interested. He’s a producer who’s been around forever and explains how AC/DC, GnR, Beatles, Eagles, Hendrix, etc are being forgotten. Abba had over TRIPLE the views of Hendrix (not even in the top 500 of you believe it). Meanwhile, Nirvana, Queen, etc are staying relevant. it’s actually quite interesting.
ua-cam.com/video/6eofD6bZ0m4/v-deo.htmlsi=nFe6jWlplBWBSe4R
The artists that block their videos really don't seem get it. It's reviving their music for younger generations. I don't understand why they don't understand that.
I wasn’t even 5 years old, but grew up with this song. It's an iconic masterpiece ❤❤❤
I was 2 months old when this was recorded, but Henley has always been one of my favorite songwriters.
Came out the year after I was born... still listen to it all the time. It was the first complex song I learned on the guitar, too.
Same. I LOVED The Eagles. One of their documentaries had a line that always stuck with me, "people DID stuff to The Eagles." He said that about people listening to their albums all the time while going about life, road trips, moving, going on dates etc. That line summed it up so well.
I was born in 1977. I grew up hearing all the best music, in my opinion. My mom loves music and will listen to any style of music. My cousins were all older than me and a family get together, they'd pull out their guitar's and play. The Eagles, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Stones, CCR, Bachman Turner Overdrive etc.. So I grew up hearing all of this.
Don't think of it as you were born in the wrong era, just look at this as the opportunity to learn new music. Learn about the greats. You have so much amazing music to discover!
Yes, this was on Guitar Hero. Very fun to play!
This song is legendary. Was in my early thirties. The Eagles were playing everywhere 🔥🔥🔥Gmaw 👵🏼
The Eagles in the 70's were literally omni-present. If you were alive you know their music. It's why the joke in the Big Lebowski is so funny too because they were often criticized by the old guard of the 60's for actually going out their way to be popular/get airplay etc. I'm not joking. I know it doesn't make sense, but the hippies were being snobs, so they REALLY hated hearing their music everywhere, all the time.
I always felt this song meant, be careful what you wish for because you just might get it, and it's not going to be how you thought it would be.
Funny how you mention the hippies being pissed about their music getting out there and popular. History repeated itself a decade later with the punk movement. Everyone that got big was branded a sell out 🤷♂️
@@thetattedpharmacist3215
Of course I'm just generalizing but what we're both referring to is a sort of purist mentality where certain individuals are the keepers of unwritten rules. I'm an old school metal head and that community might be harder on it's bands than any other.
My attitude was really just, "is it still too heavy or raucous to be played on AM Radio? Then it's hard rock or metal.
There's a great documentary about the Eagles I saw where they interviewed an engineer who was working on Hotel California. He said he knew when they were recording that the guitar duet at the end was making rock and roll history. It was that good.
The duet of guitars at the end always blows my mind.. but Felder and Walsh were badass
Although many ascribe their own meanings to this song, Don Henley, in interviews makes the same claim always. One night, he left L.A.'s Whiskey A Go Go club on the Sunset strip, very drunk, and drove out of LA into the desert on his way to Needles, CA to find some peyote. On the way he was listening to the guitar part (the chord progressions that goes over and over), passing old hotels, and cactus, and thinking about life.
"This is a song about losing one's innocence. Going from adolescence to adult hood, taking on the responsibilities and realizing you can never go back to being innocent again.". Everything else is just clever word play.
This is one of the songs that means something different to everyone who listens to it.
‘So badass’ describes this song perfectly
the Eagle's Desperado
An EARLY version, please!
(It’s very recently been brought-to-light that in current-day live shows - this might only be true for the song “Desperado”, IDK - that SADLY, Don Henley is LIP SYNCING (miming/not singing it live). There’s no question, I watched a really in-depth video analysis on it the-other-day. It’s too bad and I’m sure there are reasons for it… But I STILL love the Eagles of course, and I’ve always loved Don Henley as well.)
@@marciebulsaraorcutt I can't imagine the core power & physical stamina it would take to sing & play drums at the same time, AT ALL, let alone in his MID-SEVENTIES. Especially when he's already using a lot of diaphragm support to hit all those tenor notes.
I'm sure his voice still sounds great. Dude just probably has to do one at a time these days. And I wouldn't even call that cheating, since he's still syncing to his natural voice & not something autotuned to oblivion.
@@valeriekhall I don’t disagree at all with the fact that singing and drumming is hard physically…
The performances that have been recently discovered/shown as being mimed/lip synced, are not anything “physically demanding” like that: The ballad “Desparado” (which was the performance in-question) was totally a capella… In the videos recorded, it was just Don standing at a mic (if he was tired, he could sit perched on a stool, if he wanted.) It was apparently recorded in-studio, then “tweaked” to sound live.
And yeah, I get that a respected singer in their later years might want to use some “assistance” on demanding songs. This was just SURPRISING because the part being sung was probably the LEAST demanding physically… And the audience would not have cared if live singing wasn’t perfect, they’re just attending the show to see a Legend in-person.
…And who knows? Maybe Don wasn’t well/has had something wrong with his throat during the tour.🖖
@@marciebulsaraorcutt Yeah, we'll never know. He might've even just been garden-variety ill, & unsure if he could trust his voice for the length of a full concert. If you're tapped, even the easy stuff isn't, y'know? Hope it was nothing serious.
Very evocative lyrics. Trapped in fame, trapped in luxury, trapped in addiction. All with the seductive Cali palm tress swaying in the background.
I absolutely LOVE your reactions.
I wish I could have seen the Eagles in he 70's or 80's, I was a teenager in the seventies. I've seen the Eagles three times in the last two years. They are still awesome live. I miss Glenn Frey but his son Deacon does a great job and Vince Gill is a great addition.
The Eagles have their music on lock. I love this whole album and 100% made sure my kids new this. They both play guitar today.
This song is awesome brings back memories ❤
I was in the US Navy in the early 90's and ended up stationed on the USS California (CGN-36). You can resupply a ship at sea where a supply ship pulls up along side of the ship you want to resupply and they hook up lines between them and send supplies over. When the resupply is done the ships "breakaway" from each other and the tradition is that the ships play a song over the intercom for the crew so that everyone knows that the resupply is done. We had a new crew after a major overhaul so the Captain let the crew vote on our new breakaway song and this was the clear winner. I remember fondly everyone singing along with the "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leaveee..." 😂
Hotel California = life=hell
U can check out anytime u like
But u can never leave
The excesses of the celebrity lifestyle actually.
It is whatever your vice is..."she" in the song just makes offers, "you" get yourself stuck in the vice of your choice; which can be hell.
@@feistyphoenix289 The Eagles themselves described the song as their "interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles".
"So Badass"...the highest compliment.
This is my favorite song of all time. I was born in 1969. So, eight years later, I heard this for the first time. I was hooked, line and sinker. I even love the aucstic version, too. It resonates in my soul. I have thought many times upon the meaning. But as decades goes so does what I think about what the song represents. It's just timeless. The meaning of the song is interruptable to any situation you are going through at the time. It's a timeless song. I know it will be played for a long time coming. Reavelennt to everyone even to those who haven't heard it yet. It's a masterpiece of song writing.
My favorite eagles song is "Take it to the Limit"
I saw them in concert in the 2000s and they were AMAZING. A well-oiled musical machine. Sounded PERFECT.
Greatest music. When music wasnt generated as it is now. Enjoy & i recommend listening to more in this era.
The older I get and experience this current world, I constantly am so grateful for being born when I was. And the music was the best!! I’m so glad it’s being shared with the younger generation!
The 70's were truly the best era for music.
"Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac live 1997 The Dance is worth watching if you enjoyed this.
Biggest band in the world in their day. Incredible talent all over that stage.
LIVE.....LIVE. The harmonies are so good. All bands should listen to this before they go on tour.
"on a dark desert highway..." "I'm getting vibes of being on the beach".. 🤣🤣
One of the greatest rock songs that has ever been written. It is amazing in a live concert. I have seen them at least 4 times.
The Eagles are an amazing group, great musicians...lets go.
I was 15 yrs old when Hotel California was released. Wow to be a teen in 70's best music best bands. Just pure talent
Hotel California is my favorite song of all time. It's just awesome.
Drummers that can stay in time and sing are like the best of the best at pat your head and rub your belly, now reverse.
This has to be top ten rock songs of all time
One of my favorite songs ever, and definitely my favorite by them. In my opinion they're the best American band ever. You may want to listen to:
Take It To The Limit
Heartache Tonight
Life In The Fast Lane
The Hotel California tour was my first rock concert. I will never forget it.
Saw them in Miami in 77 with little river band and Heart ❤️ what a day.
Born & raised Hollywood, Ca, oh,the memories sitting in the Hollywood sign 😅 or elsewhere in the hills overlooking the ocean 🌅 blasting this song 🎶🎶🎶 ✌️✌️✌️
I saw the Eagles several times in the 70's, they were amazing 😍
This is one of those rare songs that does NOT end with the chorus. And why not? After all, what could could possibly follow: "You can check out any time you like...but you can NEVER LEAVE."
Love love this song! It was my Dads fav Eagle tune. I had the 45 n turned up the sound to 10! I was 15 at the time, he was early 60's..Im 62, hes long gone, But I still sing out loud whenever this song is playing for him..Love ya Dad keep Jammin'!..Thanks Soo much for this reaction Video and Yes!, the 60's, 70's were THE Era of Awesomeness!
I’m almost 63 years old, so was in high school when this came out (and for the majority of the Eagles rein). I actually feel like I’m no older than you (even though I don’t know your age). The music was written by the guitarist Don Felder, the one with the double-stacked guitar, and Don Henley (the singer/drummer) wrote the majority of the lyrics.
I remember an interview with Don Henley being asked what this song means, and he said it was a song about “the journey from innocence to experience”. That about says it all!
I saw this concert a couple years ago when they did the whole album from front to back in order. In the middle of the concert a lady came out and turned over the record on the big turntable they had on the stage. I cried the whole way through the concert with my adolescence bleeding out all over the stage. God it was a good time for music back then. And a magical time to grow up in southern California.
The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤩🤩
This song, for me, will forever be in El Paso Tx where I was assigned in late 1976 after graduating from dialysis school at Walter Reed.
We had to go in at ohdarkthirty every day to get all the patients taken care of cause it took a while to set everything up. So I heard this on the radio almost every morning blazing down gateway highway watching the sun break the rim of the desert. Amazing days... My daughter was born there.
Dive into the Eagles catalog...all great songs...hit after hit! Iconic talent.
If I remember correctly, "Hotel California" symbolizes Hollywood and fame. It took someone telling me decades later to realize how well it fits. Specifically the line "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" a person can leave the California life and drugs and such, but once you achieve fame, you can't leave your status. The media will follow you in spite of your desire to live outside of the lime light. I'd suggest any song off of their "Hell freezes over" album. The story behind that is that when they broke up they were asked if they'd ever reunite. Their answer was "When hell freezes over" so when they decided to get back together and tour with their hits, that was the only possible name they could use for the tour. I personally love the song "Desperado" and would love to see a reaction to it.
This song is legendary!
One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands ever! So many good memories with this one!
I heard the Eagles CONSTANTLY growing up, but didn't appreciate them until I was like 30, so don't feel bad, bruddah, there's always more to learn and appreciate.
I grew up with the Eagles only because my brother is 13 years older than me. I love everything they did. Don Henley’s solo music is really good. Glenn Fry’s too. Takes me right back to the Miami Vice days.
If you were my child you would heard this constantly in my car. I am an Eagles addict. I have seen them 11 times and was actually at the concert a few days before this was recorded.
My sister and her husband took me to the Eagles concert for my 16th birthday! My very first concert!! It was awesome! And an old guy that i had never heard of opened for them; the one and only Roy Orbison!!
Rumours,Silk Degrees,Bat Out Of Hell and Hotel California classic albums from 1977.
Possibly the best guitar solo (duo?) in rock history.
I fkn LOVE this song. I FKN LOVE The Eagles.
I was 16 days old when this was performed. 😅 100% part of my mother's vinyl collection. This is part of my childhood 🔥🔥🥰🔥🔥
It was every place. I listened to COUNTRY ALL MY LIFE.
BUT I KNOW THE EAGLES
How is this the first time you’ve heard this song? It’s a top hit and it’s been in countless movies. 😂😂😂😂
One of the best songs ever Nonthing like this anymore these days.....
Maybe the greatest rock song ever recorded. ❤
Top five at least.😊
One of my all time favorite bands. They are all so talented and had solo hits as well.
This is my mother in law's fav song
It’s LIVE! Nothing better.
Another great tune from the Eagles is "Those Shoes" ☮
This song is a Classic bro .... The Eagles have some hits under their belt.
In my opinion, this is the best song ever written about addiction.❤
The Eagles have a ton of excellent music out there!!
I am having an absolute blast watching a new generation discover the musical genius of my life’s soundtrack! You’ve barely scratched the surface. My kids (somewhere in the vicinity of your age) were brought up on Classic Rock and still enjoy it.
This "Hotel California " performance is soooo iconic nephew 💙. This performance is a masterpiece. Chef's kiss 💋 🖤🖤🖤
My favorite band ever!!! I saw them in concert and it was awesome!
