"I'm mad at my parents for not showing me this;" is the best reaction I've ever heard. Right on, brutha!

[@karenglenn6707]

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).

[@Shermanite0623]

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.

[@CherryBlossomDragon]

@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.

[@jgreen2015]

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

[@valeriekhall]

@@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!

This is the true definition of letting a song breathe. It comes alive in the unfolding. They don’t do that anymore.

[@t.c.bramblett617]

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

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.

[@erroristmusic]

always been a mystery to me, how can he do that. Madness

[@coachmullen1]

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.

[@CoastalNomad]

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........

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

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

It’s Don Henley (drummer/singer) who is obsessed with taking the videos down and has given interviews dedicated to getting rid of KZbin 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”.

[@olanaowen7320]

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.

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.

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.

[@mikefetterman6782]

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.

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.

[@maryellengabler802]

In an interview, Don Henley (drummer) said this song is about the journey from innocence to experience.

[@lockstar169]

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.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

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 🤷‍♂️

[@lockstar169]

@@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.

the Eagle's Desperado

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

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.)

[@valeriekhall]

@@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.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

@@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.🖖

[@valeriekhall]

@@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.

[@christerfurberg6538]

Yes, this was on Guitar Hero. Very fun to play!

[@mikefetterman6782]

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.

[@ThursdayNext67]

This is one of the songs that means something different to everyone who listens to it.

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.

[@chrisklema9992]

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.

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).

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!

Great reaction!! This song is definitely poetry. I don't understand the labels. You would think their PR people would come up with a workable arrangement with reactors. It is an opportunity to get people to purchase a lot of music. This band, in particular, has virtually ZERO bad songs. Anyone who enjoys this, will like them all and those labels could sell a lot of copies. It seems short-sighted on their part. They could advertise all kinds of bands with KZbin ads on reaction channels and do well - the audience is pre-targeted! Anyway, well done. I've been enjoying your content since about week 1. Keep at it, you are good at this.

One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands ever! So many good memories with this one!

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.

One of my all time favorite bands. They are all so talented and had solo hits as well.

I saw the Eagles several times in the 70's, they were amazing 😍

Oh dude I love this song so much. My Mom was a HUGE Eagles fan, & I grew up on the Hotel California album. When I first saw this video of them performing it live (in my teens I believe) I was TRIPPIN when I saw Don Henley playing drums & singing! 🤯 I had never seen that before. Amazing band!!! 🔥

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

I had to turn the volume right up as soon as I knew it was this one. Amazed that I know every word but no clue how long it's been since I last heard it.. This is one song that once it's inside you it never leaves. Be it heaven or hell it's gorgeous

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!!

[@shawngaskin19]

Hotel California is my favorite song of all time. It's just awesome.

[@chaosultimamage]

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.

[@karyn354]

[@donnabaham9777]

[@clasmaster1471]

Everybody in the United States has watched that video. At least in terms of volume of people.

Keep fighting the power and giving good vibes. I like seeing younger people discover old/new to them music.

[@djmagichat1721]

This is my favorite song of all time. The solos, the lyrics, everything about it just hits right for me. I still remember the first time I ever heard the song, and I was only around 6 years old at the time. But to me, the best thing is what it's about as stated by the Eagles (I don't remember who specifically): "It's about a journey from innocence to experience...and nothing else." Might not have the exact wording there, but even as a kid I think I understood that from "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." Love this song, and your reaction to it man. :3

[@charlestusin274]

My pops intrigued my brother and i to the Eagles. Fan for life. This is an amazing live video!!

[@sarahdixon1943]

The Eagles have a ton of excellent music out there!!
