This song isn’t what you think it’s about. Hotel California is about the dark side of the entertainment industry and how it affects the minds of the people in it.
Yep it sure is my mom told me about that and I scoffed at her and I said haha yeah right now that I'm much older I realize what she was talking about and she was absolutely right
It informally refers to the Beverly Hills Hotel which the Eagles and other bands frequented, it also features as the building on the cover of the album and is the setting of the photos of the band inside the album and the included poster.
That back and forth between guitars at the end of this song is arguably the greatest instrumental conversation in history. Perhaps rivaled or surpassed only by Dueling Banjos.
The dude on guitar with red bandana making crazy faces is the famous Joe Walsh !!!! The dude on the white double guitar was Don Felder. Both masters !!!!! Felder no longer with us . Walsh , who knows ??????? Walsh a huge influence on my playing since i was 15 .

omg when you picked your dog I thought you feel off your chair I got scared then😭😭😭😂😂😂 And yeah this song is amazing is one of the first songs that I learnt singing for the past 2 years of singing and I'm singing it again recently as it really fits my voice.
Yeah, Irina, you got to one of the classics performed by Eagles in my home arena (sadly torn down) where I saw Rod Stewart. This song is a metaphor for the seedy California show biz and music lifestyle especially back in the 70s. Don Henley, the drummer, is a singer, guitarist and drummer on a par with Phil Collins. He went out on his own after Eagles. Absolutely a banger of a guitar duo there. 👍 For another great guitar solo try Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, a song about song writer's block.
Yes This song "Swings daddeo" (a 1950's term).....To me it means MUSIC THAT GETS INTO YOUR SOUL. Fills up every molecule inside you. Makes you want to MOVE and DANCE. So good you want to hear it AGAIN and AGAIN. IMHO There are about 50 songs from the 70's that do that (high point) and in order, 40 songs from the 60's...about 20 songs from the 80's ....15 songs from the 50's....3 songs from the 90's....4 songs from the 40's.....4 songs from the 2010's....2 songs from the 2000's.... 2 songs from the 1920's.....1 from the 1930''s......0. ZERO from the 2020's, so far. Unless you count Beyonce's "Jolene"
Always love to see montanna, great music and reaction. You're hair is so beautiful, hope you're having a great Friday and have a wonderful weekend. Much love Irina.
When Joe Walsh (the guy wearing a bandana in the guitar duet at the end of the song) joined the Eagles in 1975, they changed from being a soft rock/easy listening band into a full fledged rock band. Unfortunately, Hotel California was their masterpiece, and the pressure to achieve that level of greatness again was part of the reason that they broke up just 4 years later.
Lead singing drummers are not real prevalent, but some of note, besides Don Henley here, are Phil Collins from Genesis (and his solo career), Roger Taylor with Queen, and Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters. If you have not listened to Karen's work, she was a special talent and deserves time in your ears.
It's so cool watching you getting into such amazing music! I love that you are understanding the language so much now, you are part of the American Culture now..
Don Henley drums.don Felder lead guitar 12 string.glen Fry acoustic guitar.joe Walsh rythum guitar.randy meisner bass.maybe the greatest group of talent on stage at one time ever.all were great musicians.all had their own careers separate from the group.all we're lead singers
Irina, it was nice to see you get into the music. Good song choice. I noticed Montana's eyes are no longer blinking, glad his medical condition has improved! Have a good day.
I am really glad that you are enjoying this incredible music. I appreciate and enjoy hearing your reactions to these masterpieces. My one suggestion would be to cut down on the interuptions.....let the song play through completely and then discuss it ! Have fun !!
The 1960s...and especially, the 70s and 80s were filled with timeless music. The 90s were great too but the music took quite a dark turn. Now, the Eagles are my favorite band so I can tell you straight up you can't go wrong with these dudes. All their stuff is great. Especially songs like: Take It To The Limit, Take It Easy, I Can't Tell You Why, Witchy Woman, and One Of These Nights. Of course, bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were big too. However, if you want something truly different, checkout Granicus. They were a VERY little known band from the 70s with quite a bombastic sound. It's a shame they never really made it big, per se. Anyway, the songs to listen to by them are Paradise and Prayer. Excellent tunes!
Double neck guitar, top neck is a 12 string guitar. A 12 syring guitar has basically the regular 6 strings with an extra string an octave higher added to each string. Except maybe the high E and B. Which just have double strings. I can't remember for sure right now The bottom neck is a regularly strung 6 string guitar. He plays the harmony on the 12 and lead on the 6
Great review Irina! Also everyone should know by now you have to pause videos every few minutes according to fair use copywrite laws. Those who criticize you for that either don't know about the copywrite laws or they're id iots.
Irina what a great dancing partner you have with Montana!! Good to see you both healthy again. The soloist is Joe Walsh if you liked it check out his song "In the City" which was also the theme song for the 70's cult film "The Warriors" which would make a great movie review!! Also Walsh had his own band James Gang with several hits especially off their album James Gang Rides Again check it out Monty will love it lol
Сразу за этой песней идёт "Новый ребёнок в городе" - это, наравне с "Отелем "Калифорния", также хит №1 за 1977 год! Рекомендую послушать. Люблю обе эти песни! С ними в моей жизни многое связано. / Right after this song comes "New Kid in Town" - this, along with "Hotel California", was also a #1 hit in 1977! I recommend listening to it. I love both of these songs! I have a lot connected with these songs in my life.
Drummer who sings, check out The Band. Listen to any song from the live concert called The Last Waltz. Levon Helm, drummer for The Band sings many songs and is amazing. Recommend songs "The Weight" and "Ophelia". Don Felder is playing a double neck guitar, 12 string on top, 6 string on the bottom.
Wow, you people in the comments. If you want to listen to the song uninterrupted go listen to it. This is a REACTION video. She should be stopping it and giving her feedback and thoughts.
The Eagles have well crafted songs and even better vocal harmonies. And that double-neck 6/12 Gibson SG has to weigh a ton! I especially love Joe Walsh's (the guy with the Tele, not the SG) soulful licks! So, if you haven't checked it out yet, Joe Walsh (as a solo artist), "Rocky Mountain Way"
Welcome back! So glad that you decided to react to this song. If you hadn't liked it, I might have unsubscribed to your channel, no matter how much I like you. I could go on for an hour with all of the comments that I have in my head. Although I'm sure that many people will disagree with me, the argument about the greatest song of all time usually boils down to these 3. Hey Jude: The Beatles Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Hotel California: The Eagles The only other time that I can remember you using the word masterpiece was when you reacted to Stairway to Heaven. Check out Hey Jude if you haven't already, and make sure that it's the live (sort of) performance on the David Frost show. As for the lyrics in HC, this is one of the most analyzed and debated songs ever. The other commenters pretty much got it right, according to the song writers. However, I can't blame you for interpreting it differently, as many others have as well. John Lennon said that the meaning of a song comes after it has already been recorded.
You are right about the 80's, there are classics upon classics. Later there was fantastic bands too but maybe not as many, 90's had Nirvana and Pearl jam, later Oasis and Blur etc, 2000's had Muse and Coldplay and such.. But 80's seems like they were dropping a classic song every day
As far as whether what we're hearing in this video is actually from the live performance, or if it was overdubbed, I wasn't able to find a definitive answer. The best comment that I read is that it sounds too perfect to be from the live performance, so we're probably hearing the album (studio) recording. For myself, who cares! It sounded great, and if the live video is so close to the recorded audio that people have to guess about it, that's good enough for me. It won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978. I've heard other people comment about how difficult it would be to sing and play the drums at the same time, although several individuals in different bands have also done it. It is somewhat rare, though.
Try this one. Thunder - Backstreet Symphony - Live at Donington 1990. They are a new band to the show. But made it big time with there set. Was the best set of the weekend. i know i was there.
Phil Collins plays drums and sings on some of his music as well ! And on this song by The Eagles, Don Felder on the double neck guitar and Joe walsh together at the end is the best part !
@@RussianReactionReviews NO apologies needed ! I understand when a person gets a feeling or thought they need to get it out or express it before maybe losing it ! Perfect !
You look like a young California Girl, Rocking out.....good review, You went with the FEELING of the music...Have you heard the song "California Dreamin' " by the (Mamas and the Papas) late 1960s?
Music is what you think it doesn't matter what anybody says if you want to get into music take it how you think it and then go from there that's how music works that's your life everybody else will tell their life that's how music works your life and everybody else's life is different your life and everybody else's life is different I love music you just got to think about it
Hi. Just thought of a fun one for you Irina. I know many people take a dim view of it and think it's dumb and all. And often they are right. But look up a video of Nikita and Ivan Koloff. Especially Nikita. Is he a good actor or can you tell he is actually from Minnesota originally? Growing up he really did fool me! 😁😁
I sang Mercedes Benz for many years.....to find out it's Mercedes bends 🤔. As a Cali born......this is a standard. Thanks. Alot of debate what Calitas are.
Who else thinks this woman is absolutely gorgeous?! 😊 And has amazing reviews of music! 😁 Edit: can you listen to Purple Rain by Prince 😊 would love to see your reaction to that amazing masterpiece as well!

Loved seeing you dance and shine with happiness. And yes, I grew up with 80's music and nothing tops it.
Er 70's music does !!
Well, I'd say the 70's. Blessed to be living in that era. All rock keeps us rolling. Tanks.
... except the 70's .
The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤑🤑
Is that a little bear or a cute smiling dog you are dancing with? That’s adorable.

you do not have to stop it this much, nobody else does. a few times is enough.
The 60s, 70s, 80s, and some 90s is some of the best music you can listen to
People been saying journeys don't stop is the most iconic pop rock song. I think it's this.
80’s, and 90’s well not so much! It’s the 70’s! 🤨
