The American rock band the Eagles first compilation album, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, has just surpassed Michael Jackson's Thriller as the best-selling album of all time. the Eagles' Hotel California is now certified 26-times platinum, which places it right behind Thriller.
I was born in the late 80's. I've loved The Eagles forever and I'm excited to say I'm seeing them live tonight!! (Sadly without Glenn, of course.) So while those born in the 40s and 50s may love the Eagles, just know many other generations do too. All love.
This band could be called anything from country rock, soft rock, mellow or stoner rock, top 40 rock etc. This song is one of the biggest staples in the history of rock right up there with stairway to heaven.
I kinda felt they were like a collaborative Bard group. It's a story you could hear telling the tale of the highs and lows of being famous in Cali. Alot of my favorite band are like this. More Story like singing... don't know if Bardic is the right term
The Eagles were the best-selling band of the 20th century. Think for a moment about who their competition was and you'll realize just how good they were.
They had the best selling album of the 20th century. They were not the best selling band period. That's The Beatles. Several bands sold more albums overall than The Eagles (Beatles, Zep, Pink Floyd, Queen).
Yeah that’s BS;) there were the Beatles Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, but they r on a level with queen. There r solo singers that sell more 2, but it when u just count ,bands they r number 5, great of course, but not Nr. 1. unless u mean US nr.1, the others r brits
RE: Reggae Yeah, that is the only of their songs that have that beat. Before that song had lyrics and was just a riff on a cassette tape Felder sent it to Henley and he labeled it "Mexican Reggae". That arpeggio duet at the end is really good and Walsh came up with it.
ELO, Elton John, Spinners, Stylistic, Temptation, O’Jays, Gladys Knight and the Pips, America, Jim Croce, Led Zeppelin, Cat Steven, Neil Diamond, Carole King, Delphonics ………… I can go on and on
The voice, the story telling, the harmonies, the musicianship. Such an amazing band! Amazing repertoire of songs! You should definitely explore more of this band! Classic ‘70’s music. LOVE, LOCE, LOVE!!!
When guitarist Don Felder brought this guitar riff into the songwriting process. They remarked that it sounded like 'Mexican Reggae' so your hunch was right.
I grew up in the 70's and I classify anything that was played on FM radio stations as Rock, things weren't broke down like they are today. It's classic Rock and it drives me crazy that people always want to find a genre a band belongs to. So for this old guy it's just Rock and for people today maybe soft rock. Of course you don't know what was played on FM stations.
I am so glad to read this. It drives me crazy too. I have said in other messages: from Simon and Garfunkel to Metallica, from Fleetwood Mac to Alice in Chains, it is all rock music!
This 75 year old basically agrees with the exception of the rare classical rock. That is, rock and classical mixed. For example, Renaissance doing "Island". There are very few in that category. It's just me! BTW, Jordongk got his sinuses cleared with this!!!
"Rock" is a LARGE umbrella of other smaller genres. And a band can play several different "rock" genre's in their catalog of music if they're diverse. And many rock songs incorporate several genre's in one song. This one for instance has a reggae beat to it. There's nothing wrong with breaking songs or bands down into genres, it can help you find other similar music you may like.
I've heard this song 100's of times and NEVER thought about a Reggae sound! But then I thought, Yeah, it's the Bass and you said, "It's the Bass". Nice
Don Henley had great solo efforts (Dirty Laundry is appropriate in out world today) Glenn Fry had a fair number of solo hits. Joe Walsh...there's a dude you want to check out, for SURE. "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Life's Been Good" are excellent. "Funk #49" he did with The James Gang. As to the Eagles..."Seven Bridges Road" showcases their harmony.
That guitarist, With bandana, played for steely Dan live shows. The other guitarist ,Felder, wrote the melody. It is a fusion of Latin reggae country rock as Glenn described it. All members of the band sang except Don Felder only sang backup. The lyrics are the greatest ever written in my opinion, they evoke primordial images in the psyche. What Carl young called archetypes, I thing the writers(Glenn and Don) well knew this. They tell a mysterious tale we can all somehow relate to. Ambiguous like our fleeting memories, yet so powerful we keep dwelling endlessly on the meaning they have to us.
The man playing the double guitar was Don Felder. Before he joined the Eagles he taught guitar in Florida and he taught Tom Petty to play... Don Felder wrote the music for this song.
Don Felder driving that double-neck Gibson, exchanging solos and harmonies with Joe Walsh on his Telecaster. It's a pure time machine, shooting me back 45 years to high school days, long hair, bell-bottoms and figuring out the mysteries of the opposite sex (well, more like _wanting_ to figure than very much actual figuring). Sweet, sweet youth....
First time hearing The Eagles, Hotel California, live in '77, & didn't get blocked...you lucky bloke! And yes, that is a raggae groove, the whole chilling in California with a spleef vibe when just under the surface of the seeming glitz and glamour of it all is a seedy, ugly truth; some have said this song could be a metaphor for the United States, the whole American Dream thing but at the cost of what, and whom...and how much? Anyways, great song mate
The Eagles started out as a country rock band and widened their scope when they added Joe Walsh from the James Gang in around 1974 or 1975. Joe Walsh is the guitarist with the Telecaster.
now you know why the Eagles have sold over 200 million albums… Hotel California has sold over 40 million… just a very talented group of musicians, song writers and obviously live performers
Don Henley , drummer and co-writer said in an interview that this song was inspired by an old 1960s' TV show called, "Twilight Zone". They wanted to give the song a mystical other worldly feeling. The lyric is ambiguous enough that the listener can read just about anything they want to into it. Great song writing!
When the live version sounds just like the studio version, you know you've got a good one! "Take it to the Limit" and "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" are good ones and there are others. This song has one of the most famous guitar rifts in rock-n-roll history (not surprisingly). The drummer, Don Henley, also went solo at some point. I love his "Boys of Summer" - you would too. Great reaction!
Great reaction, I agree. The band broke up and swore they would only get back together when/if Hell freezes over. Don Henley had several solo hits, including Boys of Summer. But so did Joe Walsh, remember Life's Been Good ("My mazerati does 185, I lost my license now I don't drive". Some years later the band did get back together and they called it The Hell Froze Over Tour. :)
I am 59 years old, this song came out when I was 9. This year was the 50th Anniversary Hotel California tour. I was lucky enough to go see the concert in May in Salt Lake City. It was the concert of a lifetime! They still sound amazing!!!
When Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh was asked about his early years with the Eagles, he would answer to the effect of "they tell me I had a great time". Thankfully he got off drugs. Some of Joe Walsh's solo project songs are worth reacting to. Consider reacting to Rocky Mountain Way and/or Life's Been Good.
Bassist Randy Meisner singing Take it to the Limit - Live at Capital Centre in 1977. Easy to find on RUclips. Some say the song that broke up the band.
Only because Randy wasn’t sure he could hit those super high notes every night singing that song.. I believe one particular night he absolutely refused to play it, I think the encore, because he just felt he could not hit those high notes that night. Henley and fry be rated him and I think even physically started to assault him and he quit on the spot. Too bad. He was a wonderful player, fantastic singer and also seemed the nicest and down to earth of the band. Everyone’s right the live vocal of take it to the limitIt’s just unbelievable! If I can find it I’ll link it here
They just took a 14 year vacation from each other. They said Hell would freze over before they got back together.I went to a "Hell Freezes Over Concert" in 2015 right before Glenn Frye passed away
The Eagles evolved from a country band into a Rock band over a ten year period in the 70s. Everybody sang lead in the band. Yes, there is a reggae grove to it. Don Felder was into Reggae at the time
You have to remember this was long before any auto tune or backing track , Bands of this era and those before them relied on one thing only and that was talent and they had it in spades, These people worked hard playing every dead end Bar they could find that would pay them to play, There they learned their art and craft and hoped vainly in some cases that they would be talent spotted, And all they had was their talent their instruments and a Van to live out of.
Eagle music shines more in the matured listner category. Their music is also evenly spread across the global continent. Jimi Hendrix was popular for his guitar more on the American spheres and Micheal was lucky to arrive during the age of MTV (known more for his dance then music).
I was born in 1965 this is just rock and roll this group is the bomb every one of these guys can sing lead because they've all had their own bands... These guys are all great song writers and musicians you need to listen to more of the eagles and then look up them individually
This is my favorite version of my favorite song, recorded live at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, USA, March 21, 1977. Yes, there is a reggae vibe, and in fact the song's working title was "Mexican Reggae".
I was born into a musical family in 1985. So I was brought up on all this 70s stuff just being in the car and stuff. Now it’s known as yacht rock, classic rock or whatever. At the time (1970s) it was known as FM music or west coast. I can’t tell you how much I love these reactions where kids nearly 20 years younger than me are vibing to music my friends used to make fun of me for listening to. And that was in the 90s hahaha great video bro. Subbed.
I was at that show in 1977 at the Capitol Center in Largo, Maryland. It was a kick ass concert. Eagles killed that night. They are a huge rock band with a deep catalog of songs. Check out their song "Take It Easy". They just kicked off another tour this year.
Many (all) of the Eagles had successful solo careers. Check out Joe Walsh 'Life's Been Good', Don Henley's 'Boys of Summer' and Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On' from Beverly Hills Cop. A contemporary band to the Eagles was Seals & Crofts. Check out their 'Summer Breeze', 'Diamond Girl', or 'Hummingbird'.
Hello friend! You have just witnessed the performance of one of the greatest rock songs ever written, arguably. Along with Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven and Leonard Skynyrd free bird and perhaps Queens Bohemian Rhapsody. Eagles several years ago outsold Michael Jackson’s thriller album with their greatest hits album. I remember reading the story in the news and I almost fell off my chair because thriller hell the top spot is the greatest selling album ever - which is a testament to how amazing the Eagles and there catalog with music truly stands
This was when there were REAL musicians that played REAL instruments. And boy, did they ever know how to play REAL music!!!! 👍 Glad to see you appreciate music from days gone by.
They're a "big" band. Wiki says Hotel california was 26X platinum and at one point (maybe still) their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 was the best selling album of the 20th century. Especially the earlier songs were "california country' ("desperado" "witchy woman" "tequila sunrise"). Others tended more towards soft rock.
What do you don’t see anymore is real musicians playing live with no click track, and no backing track. This is live from the ground up.
ikr...pure talent
The American rock band the Eagles first compilation album, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, has just surpassed Michael Jackson's Thriller as the best-selling album of all time. the Eagles' Hotel California is now certified 26-times platinum, which places it right behind Thriller.
Wow congrats to them 😊
Loved your face when they started harmonizing. No auto tuning just huge amounts of pure talent.
You picked the right performance to watch. This is the classic line up at it's best. Walsh and Felder's duel at the end is sublime.
Randy Meisner!!! Subtle bass line on all his stuff is fabulous.
This was our music.We called it just rock. Those of us born in the 40s and 50s loved this group.
I was born in the late 80's. I've loved The Eagles forever and I'm excited to say I'm seeing them live tonight!! (Sadly without Glenn, of course.) So while those born in the 40s and 50s may love the Eagles, just know many other generations do too. All love.
@@Zero-yd7dm That's great. I love to hear a younger generation likes our music too.
I was born in the 80's and love rock Music
Born in 2006 and love the Eagles
Snd we STILL love them!!💜💜🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🥁🎙🎸
This band could be called anything from country rock, soft rock, mellow or stoner rock, top 40 rock etc. This song is one of the biggest staples in the history of rock right up there with stairway to heaven.
I kinda felt they were like a collaborative Bard group.
It's a story you could hear telling the tale of the highs and lows of being famous in Cali.
Alot of my favorite band are like this.
More Story like singing... don't know if Bardic is the right term
lol
Every Single Member of the band is a lead singer and songwriter. This band is stacked with talent, score of hits, and Hall of Fame members.
The Eagles were the best-selling band of the 20th century. Think for a moment about who their competition was and you'll realize just how good they were.
See my post above.....they ripped this song off Jethro Tull. Best selling copiers....
They had the best selling album of the 20th century. They were not the best selling band period. That's The Beatles. Several bands sold more albums overall than The Eagles (Beatles, Zep, Pink Floyd, Queen).
Yeah that’s BS;) there were the Beatles Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, but they r on a level with queen. There r solo singers that sell more 2, but it when u just count ,bands they r number 5, great of course, but not Nr. 1. unless u mean US nr.1, the others r brits
Beatles are.
@@stevemurrell6167 A similar chord progression in a song is not a rip off.
Those of us born in 60 s grew up with this group high school when hotel California came out
I loved your reaction when Joe Walsh was playing the solo.
"He can play".
Understatement ;)
Joe Walsh's back & forth with Don Felder is epic.
Best dueling lead guitar solos ever.
They have one of the best selling albums of all time. This song is perfection
RE: Reggae Yeah, that is the only of their songs that have that beat. Before that song had lyrics and was just a riff on a cassette tape Felder sent it to Henley and he labeled it "Mexican Reggae". That arpeggio duet at the end is really good and Walsh came up with it.
The song was written around a reggae riff the guy with the twin neck guitar cooked up......🔥
The 70's were defined by Eagles, Boston, Styx and Kansas
And Manilow
Ummmm ... and disco. The Bee Gees and Donna Summer, et al.
ELO, Elton John, Spinners, Stylistic, Temptation, O’Jays, Gladys Knight and the Pips, America, Jim Croce, Led Zeppelin, Cat Steven, Neil Diamond, Carole King, Delphonics ………… I can go on and on
Fleetwood Mac
52 years a fan so happy that you are enjoying this music
No shame in not knowing about a band that performed almost 20 years before you were born. Grate reaction.
The voice, the story telling, the harmonies, the musicianship. Such an amazing band! Amazing repertoire of songs! You should definitely explore more of this band! Classic ‘70’s music. LOVE, LOCE, LOVE!!!
I bought the Hotel California 8 track tape on release day; it went on to sell over 32 million copies.
The Eagles sold over 200 million records worldwide. 100 million in the US.

They had 4 lead singers and everyone did harmonies. And it’s just rock and roll. Rock has many faces just like jazz, blues, R&B, rap, etc.
So dark and beautiful at the same time. Classic Rock or Rock
You don't have to classify them. Leave that to commercial catalogers. Just enjoy. Best. Leo.
Don Henley had great solo efforts (Dirty Laundry is appropriate in out world today)
Glenn Fry had a fair number of solo hits.
Joe Walsh...there's a dude you want to check out, for SURE. "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Life's Been Good" are excellent. "Funk #49" he did with The James Gang.
As to the Eagles..."Seven Bridges Road" showcases their harmony.
I saw this tour. The Eagles are about the best live performances you can see...
Another drummer who sang lead was Phil Collins with Genesis after Peter Gabriel left.
That guitarist, With bandana, played for steely Dan live shows. The other guitarist ,Felder, wrote the melody. It is a fusion of Latin reggae country rock as Glenn described it.

On guitar Joe Walsh with the bandana. Don Fender playing the double neck.
*Felder
Growing up we just called it rock ! ☮️🤘🏽🔥
Eagles was a versatile band they can play country rock, soft.rock, and also love songs ballad at the same time
Good ear on the reggae. They came up with the groove before the lyrics and called it Mexican reggae. Perfect description
We lost the lead vocalist recently. His name was Glenn Frey.
"Lyin' Eyes"...."I Can't Tell You Why"...."The Best of My Love.".."Already Gone"..."Peaceful Easy Feeling".."One of These Nights."
Tequila Sunrise, The Last Resort, Love Will Keep Us Alive, and SO many more!
Victim of Love, Heartache Tonight, Witchy Woman...
I have seen them live 11 times, they never disappoint!
I absolutely loved your reaction man! Genuine!
Phi Collins from Genesis is also A lead Vocalist and Drummer!
a rock band that has a latin rhythm with this song...legendary song!
I came of age in the 70's. The Eagles were mega-superstars and the probably the most profound soundtrack of that era. Great reaction!
The man playing the double guitar was Don Felder. Before he joined the Eagles he taught guitar in Florida and he taught Tom Petty to play... Don Felder wrote the music for this song.
In the US, we just call this Southern Rock, babe. One of the greatest songs ever produced.
Funy you should mention the reggae sound. They recognized it too and while it was being written, the working title was Mexican Reggae.
Don Felder driving that double-neck Gibson, exchanging solos and harmonies with Joe Walsh on his Telecaster. It's a pure time machine, shooting me back 45 years to high school days, long hair, bell-bottoms and figuring out the mysteries of the opposite sex (well, more like _wanting_ to figure than very much actual figuring). Sweet, sweet youth....
Those are the REAL musicians!!!!

Anyways, great song mate
This band is wonderful snd this song is legendary. There’s so much talent overflowing from that stage, it’s ridiculous. Great reaction. ✌️
You're right about the Reggae sound. There was a lot of Reggae influences in the rhythms of 70s rock.
Went to their concert twice and loved them!
The Eagles started out as a country rock band and widened their scope when they added Joe Walsh from the James Gang in around 1974 or 1975. Joe Walsh is the guitarist with the Telecaster.
....and he made them successful. They went ballistic after Walsh joined. He made them interesting.
Very astute observation! The working title for this song (before they came up with lyrics) was...wait for it..."Mexican Reggae"!
Mexican Reggae was what Joe Walsh, the guitarist with the headband said when he first heard it.
Don't worry about genre. Don't label everything. It's music...great music!
now you know why the Eagles have sold over 200 million albums… Hotel California has sold over 40 million… just a very talented group of musicians, song writers and obviously live performers
Eagles! Genius! Listen to”Tequila Sunrise” . They admitted to writing that after a night in the desert on Peyote!
Don Henley , drummer and co-writer said in an interview that this song was inspired by an old 1960s' TV show called, "Twilight Zone". They wanted to give the song a mystical other worldly feeling. The lyric is ambiguous enough that the listener can read just about anything they want to into it. Great song writing!
React to Linda Ronstadt singing Desperado also singing you're no good the Eagles were her backup band before they went on their own
You're right about hearing a reggae feel in this song.
When the live version sounds just like the studio version, you know you've got a good one! "Take it to the Limit" and "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" are good ones and there are others.

I am 59 years old, this song came out when I was 9. This year was the 50th Anniversary Hotel California tour. I was lucky enough to go see the concert in May in Salt Lake City. It was the concert of a lifetime! They still sound amazing!!!
Correction: itwas actually the 46th anniversary coming up on the 50th.
That's the great Joe Walsh playing the single guitar....
The Eagles are one of the GREATEST Bands of all time! In this song Don Henley the drummer sings lead. On others Glen Frey.
They're a rock band with folk and country influences.
SO MUCH fire ... This band almost never missed!!
Americana genre, multi genre. Many fantastic hits and talent. Iconic band.
When Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh was asked about his early years with the Eagles, he would answer to the effect of "they tell me I had a great time". Thankfully he got off drugs. Some of Joe Walsh's solo project songs are worth reacting to. Consider reacting to Rocky Mountain Way and/or Life's Been Good.
The Eagles are a soft rock solid band! My fave of all time, this one!
Said to be the best guitar-duet of the 20th century. And I believe!!!
No question about that. Saw them at the Cap Center in ,76. Phucking fantastic!
I'm an old guy and grew up on the Eagles. It warms my heart to see young people enjoy the music of my youth.
Dude you just scratched the surface! This is one of my top five bands. The genre is Americana! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bassist Randy Meisner singing Take it to the Limit - Live at Capital Centre in 1977. Easy to find on RUclips. Some say the song that broke up the band.

Another classic Eagles song that you should give a reaction to is "Take It To The Limit" Lead vocal and harmonies are outstanding!
Every member can sing lead. I've seen them twice and they give you goosebumps constantly with guitars and harmonies. Incredible talent on one stage.
The Eagles evolved from a country band into a Rock band over a ten year period in the 70s. Everybody sang lead in the band. Yes, there is a reggae grove to it. Don Felder was into Reggae at the time

The Band's drummer was their singer. Another group to check out. My favorite Eagles song is Seven Bridges Road. Crazy harmony.
Eagle music shines more in the matured listner category. Their music is also evenly spread across the global continent. Jimi Hendrix was popular for his guitar more on the American spheres and Micheal was lucky to arrive during the age of MTV (known more for his dance then music).

Its got a heavy beat on the 3 for that reggae vibe. That bob marley One drop vibe.
That guitar rift is simply a moment of magic...

Hello friend! You have just witnessed the performance of one of the greatest rock songs ever written, arguably. Along with Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven and Leonard Skynyrd free bird and perhaps Queens Bohemian Rhapsody. Eagles several years ago outsold Michael Jackson’s thriller album with their greatest hits album. I remember reading the story in the news and I almost fell off my chair because thriller hell the top spot is the greatest selling album ever - which is a testament to how amazing the Eagles and there catalog with music truly stands
All of them sing a number of their own tunes. The album "When Hell Freezes Over" has a good variety to show the talent of every member of the band.
Drummers as lead singers, check out Levon Helm and The Band along with Phil Collins and Genesis.
They are a Southern Rock. Both the Drummer Don and the Acoustic guitar Glenn (R.I.P) are lead singers depending on the song.
This was when there were REAL musicians that played REAL instruments. And boy, did they ever know how to play REAL music!!!! 👍 Glad to see you appreciate music from days gone by.
It's that scratching guitar sound with muted strings that gives me that reggae feel.
The Eagles weren't the first country rock band, but they took it and expanded it more than anyone else in that genre. Unbelievable musicianship.
They're a "big" band. Wiki says Hotel california was 26X platinum and at one point (maybe still) their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 was the best selling album of the 20th century.
Especially the earlier songs were "california country' ("desperado" "witchy woman" "tequila sunrise"). Others tended more towards soft rock.
In the U.S.. The most global confirmed sales? Thriller.
Their music is my childhood….. along with Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bee Gees, EWF, etc.
This band has the best selling album of all time. They are in the same league as the artist you mentioned in the beginning. Mega mega stars.
A ballad of sorts that tells a story of life in the fast lane,
The drummer was Don Henley and they are a super group. Everyone in the band sang different songs.
