[@arinzei.7496]

Honestly I love that Max played that solo lick for lick. The original solo is just so iconic that it is almost a part of the song. You don't always need to improvise a solo!!

[@landrews2607]

Yep. There would be no point in doing a wonder wall cover and improvising the lyrics

[@squeakeththewheel]

Don Henley brilliance.

[@TrueMeridian]

its important to note that he was playing three different guitarists' solos, too

[@rickrudd]

@@TrueMeridian well, not to be pedantic, but really just Joe Walsh and Don Felder. Glen Frye was rhythm.

[@J_D_F123]

I have heard this solo played by many guitarists. Not sure I’ve ever heard it played so crisp and precise. It is by all accounts, flawlessly played.

[@moosehole646]

The 1969 line meant 7 years ago when this song came out. It makes the place seem more eternal as time goes on.

[@josefinasalgado777]

Yeah I always think about that!

[@diegohuijbregtsgarcia5102]

My train of thought exactly.

[@bentleymusic03]

This comment has me confused. Can you elaborate?

[@josefinasalgado777]

@@bentleymusic03 they mention the year 1969 in the lyrics but that was only 7 years away from the year they wrote it so it wasn't that far away. But as the years go by, the reference to 1969 becomes more and more dated, making the "hotel california" seem a lot more magical and eternal

[@JV-df9em]

Never thought about it from that perspective, brought a whole new feeling to the song - ty!

[@steelframe]

Big thumbs up to the engineer! I don't know how you can get a sound this good from a room that is essentially an aquarium. And hardly a mic in sight.

[@stevenguy5507]

I LOVE how you all had an understanding to leave the solo almost completely untouched. Like it's a perfect gem in history that can't be altered by anyone who covers it. Kudos, guys. That was easily the best cover I've seen of this song

[@optimizeyourlife541]

Max is such an incredible guitarist, I was hoping they would give him an extended solo and he would do more improv.

[@CCCCCCCCC11]

[@marclewis4609]

In awe of this. I remember playing this song as a freshman in HS over 20 years ago and have always loved it. Just an awesome cover!!!!

[@mx_nana_banana]

POV: you’re in a tiki bar at 10 pm, your friends have gone home and the bar is almost empty, and you’ve downed 2 Long Island iced teas, and 3 zombies, then, right at the peak of your alcohol induced depression, this song comes on, and you’re reduced to nothing more than tears, alcohol, and repressed memories.

[@boss302kmk7]

I was just a chid when this came out, I was actually in California visiting visiting relatives, my aunt was talking to my mom about how good the eagles are, AND THEN BAM!!!! MY AUNT PUT THIS SONG ON, USING AN ACTUAL RECORD PLAYER, WICH SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER IN MY OPINION,,ANY WAY IT WAS AWESOME

Their improv session at the end is wild.

[@im.bradley]

This song is a very beautiful song, one of my loved ones passed away a couple years ago and this was his favorite song. I loved the vocals and so would my grandfather.

[@rememberthetalamo7993]

Holy Smokes. This whole band is amazing, but that guitar player... I was heavily anticipating how he would respect the original but put his twist on the famous guitar solo. He did not disappoint

[@asbury29]

The joy on Max’s face while he’s playing the iconic Walsh/Felder solos is infectious! Those epic licks are as essential to that song as the lyrics, and he brings his own soul and technique to reproducing them. 🎸🎸🎸

[@Cautious_Cactus]

Every single week I refresh my Main Squeeze sub in excitement. And then, like a miracle, a new video appears out of the ether like the sweet nectar of ambrosia, descendent from the fingertips of the gods sitting high atop Mount Funky-Rock. It is then that I must do my duty: Press the like button, recline my chair, full screen that business, and press play. The tradition is highly addictive and I recommend it to everyone.
