FIRST TIME LISTENING TO EAGLES - Hotel California (CLASSIC ROCK REACTION)

[@jimmyhubbard6681]

Never stop in the middle of a guitar solo

[@DollarBoiEnt]

I know for next time

[@tangemclemore177]

Yea people that do this, ruin the reaction

[@jeanluke39]

@@DollarBoiEnt dont bother the control freaks ..... its your chanel, you react the way you like, want and feeel.....

[@butterbeansc]

DON’T ever, ever, ever, stop and talk during an epic guitar solo!!!

[@cmmerchant9647]

I agree with your comment about live instruments. I think waaaay too much credit is given to digital "beat makers" like Dre, Pharrell etc.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Big factz bro I appreciate the talent behind live instruments always

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

The Eagles said the song was about the excesses of the rich and elite!!

[@rayc2993]

GREAT REACTION. There was no actual Hotel California It is a metaphor. Here is the history of the song. I am older, I am 72 years old. I lived through this. This was my era and my generation. The cry of our ERA, was "SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL" The reference to 1969 was WOODSTOCK. See, the hippie and yippie movement started in California. It was the time of "FREE LOVE and WEED and DRUGS.." Hotel California offered and provided EVERYTHING you wanted or needed. "We are all just prisoners here of our own device." Mirrors over the beds, sex. Alcohol, "The FEAST on the bed, was cut with a knife" the BEAST was DRUGS. (FEED YOUR ADDICTION, (THE DRUG OF THAT DAY WAS HEROIN) Stay as long as you want or leave anytime, (but you NEVER leave your ADDICTION behind). In 1977 they sang about these things in code or EXAMPLE, AND METAPHORS, for words that you could not record in 1977, or they would have been CENSORED and never played on any radio station. In an interview in 2007 the Eagles admitted they themselves were drowning in these temptations, just as ALL of California was. GO BACK AND LISTEN AGAIN TO THE SONG, Listen for the lyrics of, this can be heaven or hell. You will see that I am correct.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Thank you for the deep dive analysis on this and it makes sense when you put it that way, they basically used metaphors

[@tangemclemore177]

Thank you for breakin it down because i got somewhat frustrated with him repeating lyrics and over analyzing the lyrics

[@philipdubois7669]

@@tangemclemore177 You practically repeat my own assessment, except the line "... stab it with their steely knives; but they just can't kill the beast, I think alludes to the shoot-up.

[@eugenescealfjr9383]

Joe Walsh the guy in the red bandana is from Cleveland where I live. The meaning behind the song is this. Fortune & Fame in Hollywood leaves a person trapped forever in its vortex forever.

[@janicelucas8561]

Saw them LIVE in 1977 in AL! 21,000 lighters up at the Coliseum!!BEST BAND EVER, MADE MY LIFE!!!! As other comment, DON'T ever stop best guitar duet ever!!!°

[@raymondmanderville505]

The voices down the corridor are the call of your addictions . Some dance to remember , some dance to forget , some are chasing the memory of that first high & some are just trying to get straight . You can check out anytime you like , but you can never leave , once an addict , always an addict

[@TheMilkMan8008]

Just a song about addiction and living in excess. You're a prisoner of addiction because of your own choices. Its easy to get sober, but you continually take the steps to avoid it. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave. You can always get sober, but you're still an addict and always will be. Animals are always wanting pleasure. "We are programmed to receive". Why would anyone not want pleasure? Money and fame take a toll on people and you are drawn towards substances and physical vices.

[@robertflippin9112]

Damn milk man you nailed it!

[@kimberlyhicks3644]

Yup.

[@Jeff-y7t]

It's about addiction but it's also about everything that went on in the music industry at that time

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Double neck guitar is Don Felder Red bandana is Joe Walsh. Joe was with his band “The James Gang” before joining the Eagles. Check out some Of the James gang songs

[@MsTeaRex]

The beast = addiction

[@sveinagelima5526]

I am from Norway and I remember when Hotel California came out. I was 16 years old and this song enchanted me. At english class at school we had to write a story of whatever we wanted in english. I just wrote the lyrics from Hotel Califonia I knew those lyrics in my finger tips. After when we should get the storys back my teacher came to me and looked me in the eyes and was very serious and said " Svein, you couldent wrote this story, for gods sake it is very occult" I had to write my story in english one more time. And that was for many a boring story but so sad because I wrote about that kind of music which is a gamechanger. And of cause Hotel California is one of them.

This is California Rock in Roll described.

[@robingainey1328]

Addiction us the beast

[@vickiewiseman7112]

1969 Woodstock! Relax said the nightman...

[@terdthammongkol9675]

The meaning of the lyrics is up to you to interpret it. I have been listening to this song for 40 years, I'm still not sure what the whole song means.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Lol damn I feel you

[@kristenwestlund5802]

My take is Hotel California is California - specifically LA and Hollywood. At that time, people came to make their dreams come true. It didn't always work out

[@bundles33pape]

Classic rock bro ,my pops used to fuck with all this heavy ,made me a big music guy myself …good track

[@DollarBoiEnt]

I need to listen to more classics like this

[@sveinagelima5526]

Great reaction. I especially agree what you said about live instruments. Don Felder and Joe Walsh `duelling guitars are epic.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Thank you

[@cmmerchant9647]

Theres a song by The Eagles called New York Minute, where French Montana sampled from. Maybe you can react tp that.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Bet bro

[@kevinsmith1157]

The greatest band ever !!!!!!!

[@vickiewiseman7112]

Ditto!

[@danpals7678]

First album I bought. I was 16

[@VG-iq8xq]

Walsh(the one making the funny faces) is playing a Fender Telecaster, Don Felder has the iconic Gibson double neck EDS 1275. Got to see him a few years back and he still has it and plays Hotel just perfect

[@BeanTheRetard]

The part where you couldnt undertand the lyrics goes as- Had to find the passage back to the place i was before, "Relax", said the nightman, "we are programmed to recieve. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

[@debbiechang5781]

This is just a great song. It’s about greed and excess, especially in LA at that time. The stuff about Satan was just some crazy conspiracy theories cooked up by people trying too hard to find evil in rock n’ roll music. Nice reaction. There’s an enormous amount of talent on that stage. They don’t make music like this anymore. 🎄🌺✌️

[@Thatgirl1973]

Oh lord, nothing spooky. It’s about drug addiction. Specifically heroin.

[@MrMakemyday3]

dont try to understand the lyrics, you never will, ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!

[@bert2558]

You need to listen to the song entirely before you keep pausing then you get a better understanding what the song meaning is all about.

[@meangene6766]

It's about the consequences of fame and fortune, it's about addiction and excessive on another we'll never know(I know I'll never be famous/rich enough to hang out with that crowd, not my type anyway), be careful 4 what you wish 4!!!!!!

[@meangene6766]

Another level, sorry

[@jamesguess2228]

Not just wine

[@mattlefebvre123]

Back in the 60s and 70s they would give a glass of wine in rehab to help with the withdrawal symptoms

[@cdbee3486]

Don Henley said of this song "it's a journey from innocence to experience, that's all."

[@jamesguess2228]

You know how to do a reaction video .video in full screen and you smaller in corner..thanks buddy

food for thought >>. Eagles >>> The Big Lebowski performed by Gipsy Kings , Absolutely Fabulous , American Horror Story , The Sopranoes , least but not least the end of Shang-Chi Do your home work and stop interrupting the great listening time ,,, your fucking up the real thing . Let our minds dream on with the meaning of the song , not yours . With Respect !!!

[@anthonymendoza6926]

A fiew things. 1st, NEVER but NEVER, stop to say something while the Guitar Solo is being Played, not with this band. Also, this song is about what they went thru in the 70s to accomplish, but it's not bout HELL. Last but not least, now you know why use bloombergs knownwhat real music is like.

[@DollarBoiEnt]

Yes people mentioned that too me about interrupting a guitar solo I know now not to do that lol

[@bert2558]

There is no supernatural in this song. Song is about Making it to the top drugs and alcohol and women can be your downfall.

Screw you with a pool stick 😂

[@jamesguess2228]

Remember what they were doing you know..when they were writing this song

[@lOulOu-ml6uf]

On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the Captain "Please bring me my wine" He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here Since 1969" And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here Of our own device" And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave" 🥰🌹❤🌺🙂

Very good. Most ppl don't even know what that song is about. HELL

So I was right lol

I969 is when the Beatles broke up

[@Bjowolf2]

1970 😉

[@SharonS-fn2ym]

I’ve been listening to this song for 47 years and have never heard of thought it was about the occult.

[@marcieharreld286]

Nothing spooky....its about the influx of people who came to California in the 70's and tried to get famous. Most of them never left. It has hints of drugs in it too!!! The hotel IS California!!! California's anthem!!!🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🥁🎸🎹🎤🎙🎧🤘🤘🤘

[@bernie66]

The song refers to to California and living there, with it being another sin city, between all the various addiction. You can check out but you can never leave. However,each person has different entpertations of this song. All In all it's a real great classic and the Eagles are a fantastic band. Thank you for the reaction. 🎶🎧🎤👍🫶
