    Glen Frey was the one who had the idea for the man who drives through a “dark desert highway” and finds a strange hotel. He said he wanted it to feel like The Twilight Zone episode and aimed to create a track that felt like a scary movie. “We decided to create something strange, just to see if we could do it,” he said.
    According to him, the point was to keep the song visual and packed with weird imagery, just for the sake of creating something strange. Well, he certainly hit the mark there.
    One of the other most famous lines in the track, “They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can’t kill the beast,” is a response to Steely Dan, who had given the Eagles a shoutout in their song, Everything You Did.

      I had a choice between seeing them or Jimmy Buffett and chose the Eagles because they hadn't been together & there was no telling if I'd get another chance to see them. It was the right choice. Glen Frey passed away later.
      I finally got to make good on seeing Jimmy Buffett in concert in June 2022 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion in The Woodlands (N. Houston area) after trying for numerous years & it was an absolute blast. I kept telling friends that Jimmy wasn't getting any younger & neither was I. Little did I know how those words would ring true just over a yr later when Jimmy Buffett passed away. Can't believe it's been a yr next wk since we lost him. RIP JB.

    Don Henley has given a number of explanations about the song, ranging from "a journey from innocence to experience" to "a sociopolitical statement." In an interview with Rolling Stone, Henley said that the song was meant to be "more of a symbolic piece about America in general," and added, "Lyrically, the song deals with traditional or classical themes of conflict: darkness and light, good and evil, youth and age, the spiritual versus the secular. I guess you could say it's a song about loss of innocence."
    The song has been described as being "all about American decadence and burnout, too much money, corruption, drugs and arrogance; too little humility and heart." It has also been interpreted as an allegory about hedonism, self-destruction, and greed in the music industry of the late 1970s. Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles," and later said, "It's not really about California; it's about America. It's about the dark underbelly of the American dream. It's about excess, it's about narcissism. It's about the music business. ... It can have a million interpretations." In the 2013 documentary, History of the Eagles, Henley reiterated:
    'On just about every album we made, there was some kind of commentary on the music business, and on American culture in general. The hotel itself could be taken as a metaphor not only for the myth-making of Southern California, but for the myth-making that is the American Dream, because it is a fine line between the American Dream, and the American nightmare.'

    Pegasus said "Haunted hotel". When I was in my young teens my mother, siblings and I were traveling to Arizona and broke down in Oklahoma. It was nighttime, and the only hotel was this old 3 story building with vines growing on it and none of the windows were lit up. It looked haunted. Us kids were terrified. This song had just come out, and someone said "it looks like the Hotel California". After that if we heard it, together or alone, we would turn it up and sing it. I am 64 now and it always takes me back. It's funny to me, given what the song is about, that it harkens back to a time when life was good, maybe not easy, but where innocence reigned and the dirtiest thing around was the mud puddle in the back yard.

    I saw a Don Henley interview and he said people have different interpretations. But he said it's really about inexperienced and excess.

    When Don Henley was signed with David Gaffin, the second time after all of their feuding and arguments, etc. David Geffen called Don Henley golden throat. Many of his collaborations with Glenn Frey, Don is the one that is often called on to do vocals. almost every member of the Eagles played instruments + and wrote vocals. There was no just one singer of the Eagles.

    Its a brilliant song from a very talented band. Side note…..their Hell freezes over tour in 1994 was the first to charge $100 per ticket. They swore they would never reunite and people paid to see it. And music tours have never been cheap since then.

    "I Can't Tell If It's About Addiction Or Hell, Which Essentially Could Be One In The Same, Or It Could Be One Of Those Song's That It's Open To The Listener's Interterpration"
    Well, Krizz, it definitely falls into the category of being open to the interpretation of the listeners.
    Though, Addiction Or Hell, Which is essentially both, are amongst the many interpretations that have been tossed around. Even the members of the Eagles have said that the Song's meaning was open to interpretation

    "Hotel California" by the Eagles is a song about excess in America, hedonism, self-destruction, and greed in the music industry in the late 1970s12. The song has been described as a metaphor for the darker side of the American dream3. The Eagles' band members have revealed in multiple interviews that the true meaning behind "Hotel California" is a commentary on the hedonism and self-indulgence of America2.

    Others are Don Felder, Bernie Leadon, Timothy B Schmidt. The original 4 were Frey, Leadon, Henley, and Meisner. All played for Linda Ronstadt at different times she helped them get together

    The Eagles have no bad songs and are as good live as on record. Most of the solo stuff is as good if not better and they all have it to different degrees. Some are masters of several instruments!

    I always took it as a song about the drug scene in California and them not being from around those parts, going there and seeing it from an outsiders perspective. The intro is them riding into town on a freeway (the smell of colitas is a plant commonly found along California's freeway) And the metaphor of it being a hotel I feel is completely tied to the line "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." In my mind meaning that you can "check out" as in get high until you're nodding out, but you can never leave meaning you're trapped in the drug life now.

    The other guitar player was Don Felder-who actually wrote the opening chords that catch you at the beginning-it's like saying through his guitar-listen to this story it's going to be a cool story and the ending you're going to love.

    Addiction and hell is a great answer. Purgatory is also very accurate.

  • @teddarr7887

    It's a song about Naivety and experience. It's about how once you've had an experience, you can never recover the innocence you had before. Apply that to whatever situation you are in.

  • @scottromer8584
    @scottromer8584 18 дней назад

    Heard Frey & Henley talk about how everyone tries to guess the meaning of Hotel California, they said it has several meanings, the music industry is one of them, but they also mentioned journey of innocence to experience, as well as Hollywood life.

    Most people call the ending guitar workout a solo, but it's actually a duet between Don Felder on the Gibson electric 12-string double neck and Joe Walsh on the Fender Telecaster. The performance is from the Pink Champagne on Ice tour supporting the album.

    So here is what Don Henley said it means: "Well, I always say, it's a journey from innocence to experience. It's not really about California; it's about America," Henley said. "It's about the dark underbelly of the American dream. It's about excess, it's about narcissism. It's about the music business."

    Most contested meaning of a song ever.
    For me it’s both addiction and hell.
    Even though u can recover from addiction - it’s always there. And until we dig our way through, haven’t seen anyone from hell make it out. 😂

    A past interview with the band they stated it was the social transition from the 1970's to the 1980's. I think everyone has their own meaning, which is the power of a classic song.

    My take, it's an insane asylum, "In the masters chambers they gather for the feast, they stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast" that would be a Lobotomy, You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave. I was 16 when that album came out, I never get tired of it, thank you for checking it out.

    Hey Guys,
    I HOPE you’ll both get into some LIVE Queen at some point!
    Queen prided themselves on being a “live band” and are actually the only group renowned for being even BETTER live than in-studio (aside from the multilayered harmonies they overlaid in-studio that they were so famous for, those couldn’t be replicated live).
    Queen are also the only group where each member is individually inducted into the Hall of Fame for writing at least one hit song! Three of the four members also have had solo careers/albums, including Freddie Mercury’s collaboration on his album of OPERA: Barcelona.
    (Freddie and Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé were actually the FIRST professional singer/musicians from two totally different music genres, to team up and record a cross-genre album. When Pavarotti first heard it, he called it “the dumbing down of opera”… but then he was soon doing his own cross-genre Pavarotti and Friends.😁)
