The song is a complex metaphor for the kinds of greed, self-indulgence & corruption they saw around them in the entertainment industry in southern California.
@@tomhelmsjr Did your ancestors come from near Gammelsbach, Germany? Or, at the very least, settle in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania when they first arrived?
@@twenty3enigma I’m not sure “exactly”where they’re originally from, somewhere near Helmsdorf Germany is what I have been told, but I know they settled in and around Monroe, NC sometime around 1700. There’s a lot of us Helms in and around Charlotte, NC and the surrounding area.
It’s a song about what lies in wait for those who come to California expecting big dreams “Oh you were a singer?” “Oh you thought you could model?” Oh you thought you were someone????? Let me break this down for you. You’re here now In this pit. “And you’ll do as your told, or you’ll starve Ava so what we’re asking, for less money and less security. So you should do what we tell you, Darling.” That’s California. And Nevada That’s where they bury those who don’t commit and comply. There are plenty of movies and documentaries that state this plain. Y’all don’t want to see it though
@@jeffridgeway7474 Don't want to see it? I knew what it was about when it originally came out, and came to California with a band anyway. And there are no regrets. Not doing so would have led to regrets.
I have to agree with what everyone's saying about the copyright strikes. I was fortunate to see them live in Newfoundland, Canada (my home province) in 2015. 30,000 people there and Don threw a fit at one point cause people were taking pics and recording with their phones, threatened to leave and stop the show if it didn't stop. That's how protective they are.
The end of the Song the guitar dudes duo is absolutely astounding. Don Felder with Gibson Electric 12 steings Double neck guitar and my altime greatest guitar riff by the Joe Walsh with his Fender Telecaster Electric Guitar. Love from Andhrapradesh, India.
They are one of the greatest American rock bands ever created. They sell out their reunion tours immediately, No there is no hotel that has this name. It is about the dangers of coming to California and looking for fame and fortune in HoHollywood. The band has made that very clear in interviews.
If California was a Hotel what would it be like. The band lived in California and would keep leaving to go on tour around the country and then come back. The song (and album) documents the excesses of life at the time.
RUclips seems to be getting more strict with copyright strikes. I know a couple music channels have recently gone and canceled by RUclips and others seem to be getting more strikes than usual.
California can be a Heaven or hell for those who go there. I did in the late 90’s and it was both. It is everything you want to find. Everything you want it to be. And if you’re getting lost in that, it can be everything you’re running from. And everything you’re trying to run away from. It’s a vision. It is what you make of it. But there’s just as much evil as there is good. And both are waiting for you there. It’s easy to get soaked into one or the other and not realize you’re too deep into something you never intended to be deep into. And if we’re being honest, Satan had made a home there. There is no denying it.
I saw them in concert in San Diego at the stadium where the Chargers, NFL team, used to play, that was called Jack Murphy stadium, in the 1990s. It was a great concert and I was amazed by the musicians. There was such incredible instruments and singing. They were so talented! It seemed like there were at least 2 of everything, drummers, guitarists, singes, etc. What a great concert it was!
Don Henley, the leader of The Eagles doesn't like people reacting to their music. Or even singing covers of their songs. So many reactors have gotten strikes lately. Even if you private a video they can still copyright strike it. Best to just delete it.
Nope. The “Hotel California” is a metaphor for a particular social mentality. It's sort of criticizing the decadence and extremes of the rich. It touches on the drug culture of southern California in and around Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and other such places.
@@dillonsronce2583 They used to write songs about corporate sell-outs and now they are the worst. Don Henley, a friend and I snuck into one of the Eagles concerts back in the 70's, you all lost out on $12.50 from each of us, now you know, I hope it keeps you up at night.....LOL
Its really difficult to play Eagles songs because of the copyright issues. But I can tell you this one of the best songs released. Its all metaphoric. You intepret in your own way. 🎉
The song is about the Mary Jane aka the Marijuana, the lyrics "sweet smell of colitas rising up in the air" also sight grew dim, any time of year you can find it here, Tiffany twisted is the twisting of the rolled joint, and there are a few more lyrics that relate.. lol great and relatable song for the 70's..
I still remember this song and the band I used to listen in DVD player and I used to memorized all tr songs so nostalgic man😢nywy love frm Northeast India nagaland
you better delete it-reactors are getting copyright strikes over and over. Sad, I have actually bought music that I have discovered on reaction videos. I will not spend a penny on the Eagles now......this is ridiculous
Eagles and so many other bands up until the late 90s were like godly, The Beatles Zeppelin Floyd Queen Sabbath ACDC Rush Yes Fleetwood Mac Metallica Nirvana King Crimson these are just some of the mainstream household names in Rock and Metal, the rabbit hole is so deep. Like I can go on and on and on, forever and the list wouldn't end. There is just something about Rock and Metal, the type of genre they infuse, believe it or not, there are bands that include death metal and folk into one single song and it still rules. And then there are musicians heavily inspired by Classical music, so there is neo classical. It's just insane, that you guys have so much to tap into, I hope you do
I should add that they are presently endangering a ton of reaction channels with these strikes, some of my favorite channels are on the chipping block. Be warned.
I got to see them when they got back together and performed Charleston WV we had to get hotel because so high we couldnt drive and we didnt have Mary Jane we got a contact high....lol from everyone else lol
The song is about the girl's materialism and hedonism and her thinking that there are no consequences,. But there there are consequences as the weight of this materialism and hedonism leads to self destruction.
The Eagles are notorious for copyright strikes. Even if you private the video it will get struck. No offense intended but you should probably delete this video so they don't delete your channel.
Guys, id stay clear of the Eagles or ull be getting strikes against you Don Hendley is on a warpath against copyrights.. Reactors Brad and Lex had to leave, no doubt more will follow suit.
Eagles are worse than Metallica, with their copyrights. Screw Don Henley, and screw Lars Ulrich. Trent Reznor would never sue you. He gives his music away, for free.. Do a Nine Inch Nails reaction.
Bands had to go on tours around the country. The manager of the bands had to find a motel chain that was available wherever they had to travel. they were always looking for the cheapest chain to strike a contract with. So no matter where they traveled, they always stayed at the same chain, hence you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave. Not all the motels were run equally which is why some are heaven and some are hell. It also explains why one of the chains, in another part of the county, didn't have the wine available that he normally gets at other branches.
Sorry sir … but it has almost nothing to do with literal hotels. The “Hotel California” is a mindset. It's the California culture. It's the high life along with the cocaine, pot, and lavish decadence. Once you're hooked on that lifestyle, you might “check out” but you “can never leave.” I moved from California decades ago, but its culture is still a part of me, since I grew up there. I played the games, and I lived in “the fast lane.” Hotel California is the rich, tan girls, the yachts, the mansions, the corvettes … all of it.
@@boldlygo3469 All I can tell you is that at the time the song came out, my brother was dating a free lance writer that interviewed the band. That's what they told her and that explanation fits the story.
Heads up, several channels have gotten copyright strikes this past week from reviewing the Eagles.
The song is a complex metaphor for the kinds of greed, self-indulgence & corruption they saw around them in the entertainment industry in southern California.

In this pit.
“And you’ll do as your told, or you’ll starve Ava so what we’re asking, for less money and less security. So you should do what we tell you, Darling.”
That’s California.

When musician smile while doing their performance , you feel it is real well crafted music
It's about Hollywood and the music industry. You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave once you sign that contract.

Eagles One of the Greatest Rock Bands.
They are one of the greatest American rock bands ever created. They sell out their reunion tours immediately, No there is no hotel that has this name. It is about the dangers of coming to California and looking for fame and fortune in HoHollywood. The band has made that very clear in interviews.
There is, or was - not sure if still open, in Baja California in Mexico a Hotel California
Delete this immediately. If you make it private they can still copyright strike you. Do it quickly. The Eagles are very aggressive about copyright.
If California was a Hotel what would it be like. The band lived in California and would keep leaving to go on tour around the country and then come back. The song (and album) documents the excesses of life at the time.
RUclips seems to be getting more strict with copyright strikes. I know a couple music channels have recently gone and canceled by RUclips and others seem to be getting more strikes than usual.
Te Eagles has even taken down channels for people doing covers of their songs.
California can be a Heaven or hell for those who go there.

Uh oh…the Eagles don’t like people playing their songs on RUclips. Some reactors have been given a strike for posting. Be careful.
They are talking about the culture of Southern California and how it began to evolve from the activism of the 1960’s to the excess of the 1970’s.
From the same group and the same concert. Take it easy and Take it to the limit !

on point!

Such an amazing song. Love you guys.
The Loud Guys, The Eagles are notorious for suing people for using their content, just saying...
Yes they are. Which sucks. Don Henley has a habit of doing that I think.

You'll have to remove any song from the Eagles or you'll get a copyright strike.
React to comfortably numb by Punk Floyd as well. You are gonna love it❤
At least members of Eagles had very good solo careers in the 20 year break Eagles took after the album after this one.
Take this reaction down right now. I'd hate to see this channel taken down.
The song is about the Mary Jane aka the Marijuana, the lyrics "sweet smell of colitas rising up in the air" also sight grew dim, any time of year you can find it here, Tiffany twisted is the twisting of the rolled joint, and there are a few more lyrics that relate.. lol great and relatable song for the 70's..
The lyric is "warm" smell of colitis.
Oh. Somebody already told y’all. The Eagles will give a copyright strike for their work. Probably should delete before they catch it.
This was a late 1970 song Beautiful. 🇲🇽🇺🇸💯😘👍🏼
I still remember this song and the band I used to listen in DVD player and I used to memorized all tr songs so nostalgic man😢nywy love frm Northeast India nagaland

It's a Prison in Southern California. 🇲🇽🇺🇸💯👍🏼
You need to turn UP the volume
He was explaining how he died and went to HELL👿…… but you knew that 😏. Maybe you should pay attention to the songs you enjoy.

The Beatles

Queen

ACDC

Yes

You're going to get copyright stricken. The Eagles are going after everyone.

Just to let you know you might want to take this down. A few reactors I watch got strikes for Eagles songs.
The song is about the girl's materialism and hedonism and her thinking that there are no consequences,. But there there are consequences as the weight of this materialism and hedonism leads to self destruction.
Loud guys are loud but can’t hear the music
TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
Respect. ... Stay cool
The music industry is the devil.
Something is off about the audio for this video. Not loud at all.
❤🦅
Il volume della canzone
I think she's confusing the Eagles with someone else. The Eagles were 1970s. But she is super cute so I'll let it go. Lol :)
Many think it’s about hell.
Just California, one of the pits of hell.
It’s about the music industry. Great channel ❤ Those Shoes by The Eagles is the best Eagle song in my opinion.
The Eagles are notorious for copyright strikes. Even if you private the video it will get struck. No offense intended but you should probably delete this video so they don't delete your channel.
me thinks it more about a rehab center. just sayin'.
Guys, id stay clear of the Eagles or ull be getting strikes against you Don Hendley is on a warpath against copyrights.. Reactors Brad and Lex had to leave, no doubt more will follow suit.
Love the Eagles music/songs!! ❤️🎶
You better pull this down ASAP or a copyright strike awaits
Its about the state of California he refers to the state as a lady
Eagles are worse than Metallica, with their copyrights.
Screw Don Henley, and screw Lars Ulrich.
Trent Reznor would never sue you.
He gives his music away, for free..
Do a Nine Inch Nails reaction.
I always thought the song was about someone who was committed to a mental institution.
the double guitar, one neck has 6 strings and the other has 12 strings
So the girl is caged? Or what? Why are you in the same room? Creepy!
I believe this song is about a brothel. Don't quote me on that though.
Nope, it's about California.
legends last
I think they said this song was about the decadent, over-indulgent California lifestyles of the '70s.
Not worth the risk. This band is the worst of the worst blocker and copyright striker.

cant hear the song... left immediately
This is a 70's song
