Don't forget Mashoque! He has an appreciation for great musical talent. His reactions are just more subdued. I enjoy seeing his eyes light up with joy when he is delighted.
I think that Abdul Aziz, the older gentleman in the turban, is truly the most thoughtful when he’s listening. He has said a few time that he is totally illiterate but he’s extremely wise when he’s speaking which has nothing to do with literacy. He reminds me of my beautiful parents-in-law who are Yashkun from the Kashmir, another minority living under the Pakistani government. They’re also totally illiterate but so wise. All their children, both sons and daughters are all educated to having Masters degrees. Their children were told that the parents would work to give them all the education which they’d never have as they believed that literacy would bring their children a better future and financial stability, and they have done that now.
I like his response to Black Sabbath where he says when you die, God will ask "do you know Satan?". "What does he look like?" No, it is not Satan, but you who have done evil. Don't blame Satan. This is a very wise thing to say about the politicians the band is referencing. I would like to meet him.
I love how excited Muharam gets especially with music. I'm a musician and this is exactly the same way I get when hearing great music. He has great insight.
Seven Bridges Road is my favorite Eagles' song. It really showcases their vocal harmonies. My interpretation of the song is that it's about addiction of some type: A man traveling through a dead land (desert) is tired and looking for relief from hardship (tiredness). Then he sees what he thinks he's looking for, but it turns out to be a trap he can never escape from. The story parallels what happens to those who become addicted. Addicts have a problem they want to solve or treat with drugs, sex, etc.They think it's something that will help them solve a problem, but it becomes worse problem in the end.
I love the comment, "Are they doing romance?" It's so palpable the depth of their connection that their harmony is easily read as a passion. Not for each other necessarily, but that core love that is apparent when lost on making music.
I've been a guitar player for over 40 yrs, keep playing amigo, you've got the touch of emotion in your sound and that's the part you either have or you don't. Now all you need is practice. By practice I mean years of singing alone at night in the backyard where none can hear and you let it out.
The Eagles is my favourite group of all time, plus I’m old enough to remember when this song was first released! Thank you gentlemen for your profound interpretations of the lyrics and obvious joy as you watched the guitarists appear to joust. It is always a pleasure to listen to you and learn about your own culture.
I am 46 now, but grew up driving around with my dad in his blue work van. He gave me a deep love of all the GREATS from this time period and I am SO GLAD he did. He knew the HEART sisters really well. They were raised in the same city as him with their mom. He would go and see them and hang out with them in dive bars when they were FIRST on the music scene in Washington state. My husband always teases me.."how do u know THIS song, how do you know THAT song"?. My reply is always "this is when music was GREATNESS "! I'm doing my job...i found my 17 year old daughter has a whole Playlist of this stuff!!
Those gentlemen just witnessed one of the greatest guitar duets in rock history. They also got to debate the meaning of a song that people have been analyzing since it was released in the 1970’s. Great reaction!
I’ve always been told that “Hotel California” is about drugs and how once you get hooked on them, you’re stuck. Like the lyrics say, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Addiction isn’t easy, it gets a hold on you. That’s the hotel California impacts.
@@marieneu264 I also think it has a double meaning. When they say check out, they literally mean suicide too. Everything from addiction, and suicide, that line you can check out but you can never leave. That's directly related to depression. As a therapist, and struggling with depression in my own right, I double understand these meanings.
Because of the line "prisoners of our own device" I always thought it was a reference to life itself...and re incarnation. Checking out meaning taking ones own l fe. You come back. But the drug association works well. I guess thats the power of great (inspired) art: layered meaning.
the muscles of the mouth and the ones controlling small movements in your fingers are controlled by areas next to each other in the brain, this is why your mouth sometimes move when you do something difficult with your hands.
Yep. This explains why Michael Jordan famously stuck out his tongue when he performed his magic on the basketball court. He says he copied it from his dad, who did it when working on cars, but i think your explanation is the real one.
I do the opposite. My fingers sometimes move without me being conscious of it due to my thoughts at the time. It almost looks like I'm using an invisible typewriter. 😮
Amazing how meaning changes with time and context. The expression “of your own device” long predates cell phones. It means making your own choices without someone controlling you. (But the cell phone read is interesting!)
Yeah the original expression "of your own device" is less about a physical device, and more about how you have devised or are responsible for the circumstances you are in.
I especially love hearing the the wise interpretations and comments from the perspective of Abdul. He sees thing very clearly. God Bless you all at Trybals.
Glad they appreciated it! I think Chacha is right that the song is talking about a brothel/pleasure house type of place, but I think they're using that as a metaphor for life in general
As always, Mr Abdul has MY WHOLE HEART. All of the gentlemen enjoyed this and seem very honest in their reactions. FANTASTIC with your translations and explanations. Love this content.
Mr Sir, the more I watch your programs/video's, the more I can feel the depth of it. Sincerely respect to you and the yours. And especially to the 'old man'( my age ) who is so calm and inside so joyfull. Love for all of you in the name of God.
Now that you mentioned Linda Ronstadt indicating she founded the band, both Glenn Fry and Don Henley were in Linda's band before they branched out on their own as the Eagles. You should show them a video of Linda Ronstadt performing live she is phenomenal and a super star in her own right.
Beautiful. You don't have to catch up. We (U.S.) need to go back. Back to truth and reality and heart and art. Your videos help us do that. Keep up the great work.
Cirice! That song has some of my favorite riffs, good playing Adnan! I’m glad you’re all listening to Hotel California, one of my favorite songs of all time.
I was JUST coming to say this, Ghost is one of my favorite bands of the last 5 years (I'm a 53 year old metalhead so duh!), and my jaw dropped when Adnan started playing that riff! Love it!
I've had this album since it came out. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave" is one of the best rock & roll lyrics ever. Enjoy! 😎 At the end Glenn Frye and Joe Walsh are literally having a guitar duel. No losers here!
Device also means a plot, story, plan or method or effect. "Prisoners of our own device" means prisoners of our own making. That the lyric became somewhat applicable to what we all call "a device" is another twist of the measure of the timelessness of this song. The lyrics can be applied to anything in life itself. For me that's what Hotel California is - it's the life we create.
First time on your channel I am a French Canadian and just love your channel with your guests...I could watch and listen to you guys for hours. You are all awesome. Please keep up the good work...and thank all of you...Here are a couple of songs you will love, Album is Dark Side of the Moon band is Pink Floyd all songs are good but " MONEY" IS ONE OF THEIR BEST songs... the other album is ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL same band any song they are all good...one more is CAT STEVENS HIS REAL NAME IS YUSUF ISLAM, THE BEST OF CAT STEVENS...songs are MOONSHADOW, FATHER AND SON...AND WILD WORLD, ALSO PEACE TRAIN...They are all good...Thank you again for your awesome channel...A big hello from NORTHERN CANADA...
I think the old man might understand the meaning of the song better than most. In a way he seems to be taking it very literally, but that literalism actually captures the metaphor better than describing the metaphor could.
These commentaries are amazing. We have three gentlemen from significantly different Eastern cultures expressing their impressions as they listen to the music. Their views are so un-Western, a good thing, and authentic and sincere. Totally appreciated this.
I love how the music is making them want to move, They may not know what the song says, but a good rift and song can move anyone. And this one is one of the best.
It does not matter where you were born, or raised, these gentlemen had the same comments that every other furst tome listener to this song says. "The singing drummer." "The melodic music in the beginning." The guitar duet at the end was amazing. " Thank you gentlemen!
I didn't see it mentioned that the song was mostly written by Don Felder the guy with the two-neck guitar. Don Henley wrote the lyrics. The song is actually about the party drug culture in California. You can "Check out" any time you like is about getting high. The "You can never leave" is that once you are addicted to the life it stays with you. By the way, they seem to love great harmonies. They should see some songs by "The Band". Levon Helm sings and plays drums as well but the harmonies in that band are incredible
Yeah Ive always thought the lyrics 'they stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast' is about shooting up with something but always wanting more
Although many people interpret this song as being about drugs, I believe it conveys something much broader. Human nature drives us to pursue pleasure, yet paradoxically, we often become ensnared by our own desires.
A lot of people interpreted this song as a drug reference, you can "check out" any time you like, but you can never leave the addiction. It kind of fits, but the band has denied it having anything to do with drugs. If they likw the hair on that guy, then show them the lead singer for Kansas- Carry On Wayward Son. Great song, but that guy could be stunt double for bigfoot.
At the end of the song, it's the masters chamber but they stab the beast but cannot kill it. These men understood more than most even without a translation! That shows 2 things. They are very observant, and the artists got the meaning across in the music. This song is both beautiful and scary.
This is amazing. Watching these tribal men listening to classic rock, enjoying it and having meaningful conversations. It just goes to show that good music is truly universal.
Beautiful song, and interesting interpretations of it. I think the songs that are nuanced are really difficult to understand in another culture, but they get Hotel California. Thanks, and I wish everyone a great weekend.😊
Since they seem to really like the Harmony in this song, there is another song by The Eagles that you have to let them hear it's called Seven Bridges road. It really showcases their harmonizing abilities
No criticisms from me on the way this reaction was conducted. I am just pleased to see other cultures enjoying what is a classic song to Americans and the western world.
As was implied at the beginning, this song can have many interpretations. Some say it's about drugs, others say it's about a celeb lifestyle. It could be about being trapped by commercialism. It could be a horror story. Heck, it could be about giving in to the Dark Side of the Force (forever will it dominate your path). Any or all of those thing could be valid depending on who and where you are in your life. This is the hallmark of great art.
Thèse showed up in my feed today…I’ve spent the better part of my Saturday watching these wonderful, amazing men! I love their reactions! So genuine and delightful!
In light of all the allegations and predatory nature of Hollywood; this song perfectly reflects all of it while leaving so many events and names erased. There’s such a dark and remorse nature to the song that any nation could realize from it; even with the beauty of the composition. Truly one of the best rock songs ever made.
Loved seeing you’re reactions! You gentlemen are amazing❤. I’ve seen the Eagles twice in live concert and they are indeed amazing. Love from Texas USA!
I really enjoyed their satisfaction and reactions to PC performance , the band and the music . These tribal people are so cool and calm . I seen them react before and what surprised me was how positively they react even at their age to Western music.
I enjoyed seeing this reaction so much. The wisdom in working out the meaning of the words allowed me to see the old song in a new light. Many thanks to all of your from Eastern Ireland.
I find Abdul's thought process compelling and insightful. Your videos are very good and the rest of your team are just great. I look forward to their viewpoints and observations.
It gives me hope for the future of our planet if many cultures are becoming more able to enjoy and appreciate each others art and music. I really hope it is so.
Love your fantastic videos, want to check out more. Travelled all my life, always wanted to hear and see from other perspectives and that was the time when there were no mobiles, just you and who you stumbled upon and then memory to remember the moment. This is a gem of a film to see for the first time how one reacts to Hotel California. Music is so universal, it gets you in the heart no matter where in the world you come from. And it connects you to everyone. Brilliant footage.
I love these guys, and to hear their take on such a song, one with so many possibilities for interpretation, is fascinating, and probably more accurate than most western people's interpretation of it.
They were the opening act for Linda Ronstadt who was very famous. Then they (the Eagles) got famous. Introduce everyone to some Linda Ronstadt songs. Like I’ve Been Cheated. All her songs are good.
I really respect their insights and interpretations. I was a Navy Brat growing up, we lived all over the world. People need to experience as many cultures as possible in life. You learn we are not that different from each other at all. No matter what politicians and celebrities try to tell you. And lets be honest, who doesn't want to try food you've never had before right? Food and music.. universal languages.
Oh, I can't wait to hear this! I LOVE the Eagles! The only thing better would be the group BREAD. The song "If" especially. I would so love to hear them respond to Bread. But Eagles is in my top favorites. Looking forward to watching this! I love your unique take on music, so I'm looking forward to this! Enjoy!
Great reaction everyone! Lured by Temptations, is how I always describe this song. The Eagles band members are great artists individually and even better when collaborating together. My Dad played their albums in the house all the time as I was growing up.
Great reaction! it was interesting seeing what each of the guys thought of the song and how they interpreted it. There is another band that does similar type of lyrics where they a rather vague as to what exactly they are talking about but are open to a lot of interpretation. the band is called CAKE and Going the Distance I think was their first big hit. they mix different musical genres together too. Maybe the guys would enjoy reacting to that band as well
Good for you taking up guitar! Learning to play an instrument takes practice. I never had the patience for it, so I have a sound system at home to listen to others play. Someone has to be the fan, right? Another great reaction by the group.
I loved watching Muharram Kahn's reaction. One of the purest reaction to any song I've ever seen considering his background and that part of the world where he's from.
Although it is not their original composition, the vocal harmonies on "Seven Bridges Road" by the Eagles are fantastic. Apparently they would use that song backstage before concerts for a vocal warm-up exercise. That song was originally recorded by a country musician named Steve Young, and then a multi -voice harmony cover version was done by musician Iain Matthews, and then another cover was by the Eagles. Highly recommended.
I wish I could find a good live performance video of the Eagles doing that song. But I can only find clips without good audio qualities: A backstage warm-up rehearsal clip from 1977 with only one verse: ruclips.net/video/jYVFZk0ZN-A/видео.html And a cell phone recording with only part of the song by someone from the audience in 2010: ruclips.net/video/jjHkAjnR4TM/видео.html But the best audio recording was from a 1980 live album by the Eagles: ruclips.net/video/U61bPI8K04s/видео.html
Good watch. The enjoyment of the music, plain to see. Loved it. This group has a lot of really good songs...and every band member can lead sing too. BTW that hair style the drummer/singer has, is called 'fro', from 'afro', a style a lot of black folks here wore their hair...popular in the 70s/80s.
If they ever took Muharam to a real concert somewhere he might cry real tears of joy. This man loves music.
I'd LOVE to go to a concert with Muharam. Wouldn't that be amazing to see his true love for the music?!
@@nikkienikkie4310 i'd come if it was nearby :D
big man would do a monty python omgosh im having a cardiac arrest 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ love you boys and girls
...and we love him because of it!!
Don't forget Mashoque! He has an appreciation for great musical talent. His reactions are just more subdued. I enjoy seeing his eyes light up with joy when he is delighted.
I think that Abdul Aziz, the older gentleman in the turban, is truly the most thoughtful when he’s listening. He has said a few time that he is totally illiterate but he’s extremely wise when he’s speaking which has nothing to do with literacy. He reminds me of my beautiful parents-in-law who are Yashkun from the Kashmir, another minority living under the Pakistani government. They’re also totally illiterate but so wise. All their children, both sons and daughters are all educated to having Masters degrees. Their children were told that the parents would work to give them all the education which they’d never have as they believed that literacy would bring their children a better future and financial stability, and they have done that now.

Strangely this is partly why we seek out people like them. They live a daily life of values we have lost or forgotten.
Yes! I was thinking the same. We have lost something special in our modern world. Love these guys

Bob Ross hehe! I only wish Bob could know how loved he is by our group of friends on this channel ♥
Listening to the Elder Abdul explaining about the purposes of mirrors on the ceiling 😳🤣 I had to run it back. The Elder is very wise indeed 😊
The older gentleman has the most intensely thoughtful stare I’ve ever seen
Exactly- pure wisdom and feels almost every song, even when not excited about every song. I love to meet all these wonderful men one day .
Because he listens intently. We should all be so wise to hear what others are saying before expressing our opinions.
I've been a guitar player for over 40 yrs, keep playing amigo, you've got the touch of emotion in your sound and that's the part you either have or you don't. Now all you need is practice. By practice I mean years of singing alone at night in the backyard where none can hear and you let it out.
I hope everyone at Trybals is doing ok in the heatwave!
Abdul takes everything in and analyzes it methodically. He's cool.
The Eagles is my favourite group of all time, plus I’m old enough to remember when this song was first released! Thank you gentlemen for your profound interpretations of the lyrics and obvious joy as you watched the guitarists appear to joust. It is always a pleasure to listen to you and learn about your own culture.
I am 46 now, but grew up driving around with my dad in his blue work van. He gave me a deep love of all the GREATS from this time period and I am SO GLAD he did.

He would go and see them and hang out with them in dive bars when they were FIRST on the music scene in Washington state.

Wish you all could take a trip to America! How fun to show you all a concert!🎵 🎶
Totally!
I've had a terrible week, but your video just shook all those blues away. Now I'm off to watch how Kashmir went over.
I love how the music is making them want to move, They may not know what the song says, but a good rift and song can move anyone. And this one is one of the best.
It does not matter where you were born, or raised, these gentlemen had the same comments that every other furst tome listener to this song says. "The singing drummer." "The melodic music in the beginning." The guitar duet at the end was amazing. " Thank you gentlemen!

@@candacebarrington1448actually that line was a stab at Steely Dan , who was an admirer of them.
Although many people interpret this song as being about drugs, I believe it conveys something much broader. Human nature drives us to pursue pleasure, yet paradoxically, we often become ensnared by our own desires.
And can't kill it no matter how hard we try. I agree. It's an existential song.
Exactly!
A lot of people interpreted this song as a drug reference, you can "check out" any time you like, but you can never leave the addiction. It kind of fits, but the band has denied it having anything to do with drugs.
If they likw the hair on that guy, then show them the lead singer for Kansas- Carry On Wayward Son. Great song, but that guy could be stunt double for bigfoot.
Don said, it seems recently that this song was about the lure of "Hollywood," more specifically fame. It really makes sense to me now.
That’s Robbie Steinhardt. He wasn’t the lead singer, but your Bigfoot comparison is spot-on! RIP to Robbie.
At the end of the song, it's the masters chamber but they stab the beast but cannot kill it.

I think it’s so beautiful how music brings the world together in this way
the song is about the loss of innocence something you can not get back. Glenn Fry said
They are just as insightful and open ended about the lyrics as us Americans.
I don't know what I expected to hear when that guy picked up a guitar, but it wasn't Ghost

I was impressed they gleaned the nature of the song even before the translation.
Loved seeing you’re reactions! You gentlemen are amazing❤. I’ve seen the Eagles twice in live concert and they are indeed amazing. Love from Texas USA!
They need to hear the a cappella song Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles…well mostly a capella. I think there’s guitar music about halfway through
Fascinating to listen those old man talking about the spirit of the music 👍 and talking about experienced life and everything around music 🎶 🙏
"Even if someone has no flour at home, they'll buy a smartphone instead."-- sad but true.
I have no idea how I ended up here but I am glad I did. A fascinating insight, that shows to me that at heart, we are all the same.
I really enjoyed their satisfaction and reactions to PC performance , the band and the music . These tribal people are so cool and calm . I seen them react before and what surprised me was how positively they react even at their age to Western music.
Cirice by Ghost SPOTTED! Nice, you have great taste. 😊
Thanks! 😊
You should play the video of Cirice for them. I’d love to see & hear their reactions.
I just love how open you all are all of the time. Peace be with you. ❤️❤️✌️
I loved watching your excitement and your interpretation of the meaning of the song
omg! i love the diversity of opinion and character in these 3, especially Yellow Turban man.. he's been to a few Hotel California's in his lifetime👌🏽🤣
I enjoyed seeing this reaction so much. The wisdom in working out the meaning of the words allowed me to see the old song in a new light. Many thanks to all of your from Eastern Ireland.
I find Abdul's thought process compelling and insightful. Your videos are very good and the rest of your team are just great. I look forward to their viewpoints and observations.
Never saw the guitarist so closely. Thanks for this reaction video.
It gives me hope for the future of our planet if many cultures are becoming more able to enjoy and appreciate each others art and music. I really hope it is so.
Love your fantastic videos, want to check out more. Travelled all my life, always wanted to hear and see from other perspectives and that was the time when there were no mobiles, just you and who you stumbled upon and then memory to remember the moment. This is a gem of a film to see for the first time how one reacts to Hotel California. Music is so universal, it gets you in the heart no matter where in the world you come from. And it connects you to everyone. Brilliant footage.
As far as good human beings go, you are far more advanced than many. Blessings to you Sirs
I love these guys, and to hear their take on such a song, one with so many possibilities for interpretation, is fascinating, and probably more accurate than most western people's interpretation of it.
They were the opening act for Linda Ronstadt who was very famous. Then they (the Eagles) got famous. Introduce everyone to some Linda Ronstadt songs. Like I’ve Been Cheated. All her songs are good.
Sure ❤️
Love these guys, so honest. Love to see them want to move to the music.
Perfect band for these gentlemen to react too .always a joy too see their reactions.👏😊
I really feel love for Abdul.. Something about him I really like.. This song has been my favorite since it was my very first vinyl!
I always love these! gives me new perspectives on how different cultures live, feel and think.
wise man abdul you have the skills most dont that come from recital and oral history 🎉❤
Love every second of this video!!!!! Great explanation and all their thoughs. What a great song as well. Greatest harmonizing guitars ever!!!!
I love the appreciation they have for music
I really respect their insights and interpretations. I was a Navy Brat growing up, we lived all over the world. People need to experience as many cultures as possible in life. You learn we are not that different from each other at all. No matter what politicians and celebrities try to tell you. And lets be honest, who doesn't want to try food you've never had before right? Food and music.. universal languages.
Oh, I can't wait to hear this! I LOVE the Eagles! The only thing better would be the group BREAD. The song "If" especially. I would so love to hear them respond to Bread. But Eagles is in my top favorites.
Looking forward to watching this! I love your unique take on music, so I'm looking forward to this! Enjoy!
Great reaction everyone!
Lured by Temptations, is how I always describe this song.
The Eagles band members are great artists individually and even better when collaborating together.
My Dad played their albums in the house all the time as I was growing up.
Great reaction! it was interesting seeing what each of the guys thought of the song and how they interpreted it. There is another band that does similar type of lyrics where they a rather vague as to what exactly they are talking about but are open to a lot of interpretation. the band is called CAKE and Going the Distance I think was their first big hit. they mix different musical genres together too. Maybe the guys would enjoy reacting to that band as well
I love Cake! Great suggestion!
So interesting listening to them appreciating so called western rock and pop music - absolutely amazing really.
Good for you taking up guitar! Learning to play an instrument takes practice. I never had the patience for it, so I have a sound system at home to listen to others play. Someone has to be the fan, right?
Another great reaction by the group.
Gogle box Kaszmir style I love it
It’s full of emotion
I loved watching Muharram Kahn's reaction. One of the purest reaction to any song I've ever seen considering his background and that part of the world where he's from.
Adnan, you allways offer a very good explenation of what they will listen. Nice job.
Although it is not their original composition, the vocal harmonies on "Seven Bridges Road" by the Eagles are fantastic. Apparently they would use that song backstage before concerts for a vocal warm-up exercise.
That song was originally recorded by a country musician named Steve Young, and then a multi -voice harmony cover version was done by musician Iain Matthews, and then another cover was by the Eagles. Highly recommended.
I wish I could find a good live performance video of the Eagles doing that song. But I can only find clips without good audio qualities:
A backstage warm-up rehearsal clip from 1977 with only one verse:

And a cell phone recording with only part of the song by someone from the audience in 2010:

But the best audio recording was from a 1980 live album by the Eagles:

My mom had that album. I knew every song!
Loves these people. So wholesome.
Good watch. The enjoyment of the music, plain to see. Loved it.
This group has a lot of really good songs...and every band member can lead sing too.
BTW that hair style the drummer/singer has, is called 'fro', from 'afro', a style a lot of black folks here wore their hair...popular in the 70s/80s.
prisoners of "their own devices" definitely meant they are prisoners of their own self-made issues, like vices for example
I so enjoy their perceptions❤
