"I'm mad at my parents for not showing me this;" is the best reaction I've ever heard. Right on, brutha!
I have a 33 yr old son. I have tried and tried to get him to love the music of my younger years and he is just not into it 😢. He doesn’t mind Queen (thinks that Freddie is a legend) and I nearly fainted when he mentioned Led Zeppelin to me once. He’s into Rammstein (who I love too).
He'll come around! I'm 75 and I'm still learning. I'm hearing Haley Reinhart and Angelina Jordan and I'm now into vintage jazz and blues! I've always loved 50's, 60's and 70's rock and roll. I watched jazz and blues from the b/w movies and shows but it just didn't hit me until now.
@Shermanite0623
If you're checking out classic jazz have you discovered Ella Fitzgerald yet? She honestly has one of the best voices I've ever heard. I highly recommend looking her up if you've not heard her yet. If you like Louis Armstrong she has quite a few duets with him.
Have you heard their acoustic live performance? It's my favourite version of all. The solos are, in my mind, way better. Whole thing has a real nice flamenco feel
@@karenglenn6707 Ask him to show you all the music he's into! You can make it like a trade back & forth. I'll bet HE'LL nearly faint, first time you recognize one of his artists songs sampling a song you know from way back. Besides, he might tune you into something good, too!
That guitar solo is SICK!!! Felder and Walsh are fuckin' LEGENDS!!!
Absolutely! I loved Joe's stuff after Eagles. ILBT's is one of my fav's!
The band had so much individual talent that they broke up. But enough class and wisdom to reunite.
What about Don Henley the singer drummer...
When the band broke up..he became an individual artist & has so many hits ... check him out ...I was 16 at hi school grade 9.... Grabbed this L P WHEN I WAS 21...ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT ROCK BANDS EVEN... LISTEN TO THE BEST OF THE EAGLEs
RIP 😢 JEFF HEALY PASSED AWAY A FEW MONTHS AGO..
LOVE & RESPECT FROM
TAMILNADU - CHENNAI
SOUTHERN INDIA 🎉😂
@@chrisklema9992at their concert I went to last year Don Henley said “Hey, we didn’t break up… we just took a long break!”
@mjames8188 that's funny, though iirc when asked if they'd get back together, they said, "When hell freezes over". And that's why their reunion tour and album were named as such.
I don't agree when you say you were born in the wrong era. I say you're the right man in the right place at the right time to fight the powers-that-be & keep rock n roll alive as all of us old rock fans fade away. Keep your chin up & keep fightin' the good fight, we're with you man...
Oh so well said!
Ditto from me in South africa
we get to have it all!!!!!!!!
Boomers, when you demand old music to be respected you must also respect new music and not ignorantly dismiss it all
@@xmathmanx Not seeing any of that here. Perhaps you’re responding to the wrong post?
You didn't even mention that the lead singer is also drumming AT THE SAME TIME as sounding so pristine, and not missing a beat on either.
I've always been amazed when people do that...
I picture myself trying, & my singing devolves into gibberish as I accidentally kick over my entire drum set & have to be helped off the stage. Not just singing & drumming, but on such an iconic song...wow
@@andychisarick6879 imagine the thousands of hours of practice required to achieve that.
Karen Carpenter was another example of a drummer who was great at drumming AND singing. She really liked doing it that way and struggled so much when the Carpenter's "people" insisted she be up front singing with her brother. But yeah, Don Henley ROCKED this song.
Favourite saying of my favourite boss at anyone's farewell…"this place is like Hotel California - you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." He was such a great boss in such a great place to work that people did just keep coming back.
The most poetic description of addiction ever put to music
That's what I hear as a recovering addict
Same ❤
@@joquail000 "4 + 20" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young is a beautifully spare & wrenching description of someone still in it. Paints a devastating picture. Do listen, but not without an emotional support friend/doggo.
Check out Alan Parsons Project: Turn of a Friendly Card
This is the true definition of letting a song breathe. It comes alive in the unfolding. They don’t do that anymore.
radio stations weren't so cool on it lol but the song had momentum like a steamroller.
Also, it was literally straight from the California beach scene since Don Felder came up with the music whilst strumming his acoustic guitar to a drum machine in Malibu Beach
So true!
Can we all appreciate how difficult it is to play the drums and be the lead singer at the same time. Don Henley is beyond talented.
always been a mystery to me, how can he do that. Madness
Grew up listening to this song and it never gets old.
If you start down the Eagles rabbit hole, bring a tent, food, etc. You're in for a loooong journey! ❤❤❤
But well worth the journey, well worth the trip.
@@KuscosPoison indeed!
Can i come , remember America. Have a good night🤠
One of the greatest songs ever.
Genuinely one of the best songs ever made.
100% agree, my all time favourite Eagles song 😊
And to think that the producers wanted them to cut the guitar solo/duet at the end "because it made the song too long". The Eagles fought for it, making it one the most iconic guitar solos in music history.
I’m glad they fought for the guitar solo
"The music that was made back then is not made today". God bless you Cliff. You are so right. We need to keep all GREAT music alive!
Any time I see a table full of people ignoring each other while transfixed by their phones I think of the line from this song "We are all just prisoners here of our own device."
Same! We didn't have cell phones so we listen to the music
It’s of our own divising
That's perfect. I never thought that. Now I'll never be able to get it out of my head. Once again, great call.
When people ask me what my favorite guitar solo is, I tell them my favorite guitar solo is a duet.
Best line ever from a reactor: “Now I’m mad at my parents for not showing me this!” Keep on keeping on☺️
Now you MUST listen to "Take it to the Limit" sung by Randy Miesner with an angelic voice!! It was there 1st million seller!
The live 1977 version BEFORE the record company reissue added auto-tune.
@@wendymotogirl THEY DID HWAT?!?!?! HOW DARE!!!!!
*their and no exclamation mark.
The guy in the red bandanna is Joe Walsh, he sang Life’s Been Good. The guitar duet at the end is his baby, pure poetry.
Actually the guitar solo is Don Felders(the guy with the double guitar) baby. Joe just chimed along on this one.
REACT TO THAT!
For decades, the #1 selling album was the Eagles Greatest Hits Vol 2. This song being a main reason for that throughout the late 70s, 80s and 90s.
I don't know anybody who didn't have it
The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤩🤩
Don Felder and Joe Walsh make the song! At the end. IMO
I have seen the Eagles in concert 3 times. They were incredible! If you close your eyes and listen to them they sound EXACTLY like the studio version of their songs. Unfortunately, their main lead singer, Glenn Frey, passed away in 2016. He wasn't the lead in this song though. The singer here is Don Henley. It is such a shame that many of the great legends in music are passing away. 😢
Cliff, this is an iconic song so it's no wonder why you've at least heard the chorus.
I was 15 when this hit the airwaves. I saw them a couple of months ago in concert. Vince Gill standing in for Glen Frye R.I.P. They are still phenomenal!!
It was genius for them to add Vince Gill, he is a perfect fit!
That’s back when they actually played. Loved growing up in the 70s and 80s
I always assumed the Eagles were talking about the entertainment industry. They sell you a beautiful dream, but once you're in a contract, you're stuck and you can either die or keep existing within the beast. And if you try to leave, there's someone there to deliver that thinly veiled threat... "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
The industry is a monster, but many artists have found that there is an escape hatch. For many, it's sobriety and finding other ways to get their art to the people.
God bless you for doing what you can to fight the power.
I have always thought Sign of a Great Song is...... It can mean different things to different people and/or It can mean Differnt Things at Different Stages of your Life........
I have heard that interpretation too. And yeah, the line about “checking out” (dying) but never leave (even after you’re gone you are still there).
It always reminded me of another industry-working in and visiting a brothel…🫣
Upon first hearing it years ago, I had an impression of a near death experience venturing between heaven and hell. The voices in the corridor would be the much talked about long hallway or corridor in NDEs. The woman he meets would be the spirit guide people have talked about in an NDE.
The "check out" line aged like fine wine as a metaphor, seeing the language that now has to be used when discussing suicide on this platform
You were born in the right era because the past is accessible now. If you were born in a different era you would have to wait or never make it to the next great era.
It’s Don Henley (drummer/singer) who is obsessed with taking the videos down and has given interviews dedicated to getting rid of RUclips channels who react to them. Even going after musical instrument lesson channels who teach you the guitar part melody or whatever.
But yeah you’re absolutely correct.. I watched another channel who went through Spotify stats and proved the ones who obsess over copyright stuff (Beatles, Eagles, Hendrix, etc) are dying while others who freely allow it have basically been “revived”.
Yeah, it makes me sad because some of my favorite songs are Don Henley's solo career. I almost never get to see reactions to them.
Sadness......
In the Beatles and Hendrix cases and most other bands and singers that's the record labels or maybe family...in Eagles case it's Henley.
@@olanaowen7320here’s the link for the video if you are interested. He’s a producer who’s been around forever and explains how AC/DC, GnR, Beatles, Eagles, Hendrix, etc are being forgotten. Abba had over TRIPLE the views of Hendrix (not even in the top 500 of you believe it). Meanwhile, Nirvana, Queen, etc are staying relevant. it’s actually quite interesting.
ruclips.net/video/6eofD6bZ0m4/видео.htmlsi=nFe6jWlplBWBSe4R
The artists that block their videos really don't seem get it. It's reviving their music for younger generations. I don't understand why they don't understand that.
There's a great documentary about the Eagles I saw where they interviewed an engineer who was working on Hotel California. He said he knew when they were recording that the guitar duet at the end was making rock and roll history. It was that good.
Of our own device means literally...Of our own making. We got ourselves into this mess.
In the 70's, no cell phones.
@@lauragompertz2647 Obviously.
The older I get and experience this current world, I constantly am so grateful for being born when I was. And the music was the best!! I’m so glad it’s being shared with the younger generation!
In an interview, Don Henley (drummer) said this song is about the journey from innocence to experience.
I wasn’t even 5 years old, but grew up with this song. It's an iconic masterpiece ❤❤❤
I was 2 months old when this was recorded, but Henley has always been one of my favorite songwriters.
Came out the year after I was born... still listen to it all the time. It was the first complex song I learned on the guitar, too.
Same. I LOVED The Eagles. One of their documentaries had a line that always stuck with me, "people DID stuff to The Eagles." He said that about people listening to their albums all the time while going about life, road trips, moving, going on dates etc. That line summed it up so well.
The duet of guitars at the end always blows my mind.. but Felder and Walsh were badass
This song is legendary. Was in my early thirties. The Eagles were playing everywhere 🔥🔥🔥Gmaw 👵🏼
Yes, this was on Guitar Hero. Very fun to play!
This is one of the songs that means something different to everyone who listens to it.
The Eagles have their music on lock. I love this whole album and 100% made sure my kids new this. They both play guitar today.
That's Don Henley. He has 60 people working to stop other people from listening to their music!
This song is awesome brings back memories ❤
I absolutely LOVE your reactions.
Saw these guys in 1977 in Auburn,AL. 21,000 LIGHTERS turned up! BEST GROUP EVER!! GREW UP WITH THE EAGLES!! PROUD 2 B A BABY BOOMER!!
Growing with this music and other great music from the 70's, 80's, I never realized how special it was....until people like you started to react to it. :)
Now I see lots of music from back then in a whole different light and realize how great it was! Thanks! LJ
"So Badass"...the highest compliment.
Very evocative lyrics. Trapped in fame, trapped in luxury, trapped in addiction. All with the seductive Cali palm tress swaying in the background.
The Eagles in the 70's were literally omni-present. If you were alive you know their music. It's why the joke in the Big Lebowski is so funny too because they were often criticized by the old guard of the 60's for actually going out their way to be popular/get airplay etc. I'm not joking. I know it doesn't make sense, but the hippies were being snobs, so they REALLY hated hearing their music everywhere, all the time.
I always felt this song meant, be careful what you wish for because you just might get it, and it's not going to be how you thought it would be.
Funny how you mention the hippies being pissed about their music getting out there and popular. History repeated itself a decade later with the punk movement. Everyone that got big was branded a sell out 🤷♂️
@@thetattedpharmacist3215
Of course I'm just generalizing but what we're both referring to is a sort of purist mentality where certain individuals are the keepers of unwritten rules. I'm an old school metal head and that community might be harder on it's bands than any other.
My attitude was really just, "is it still too heavy or raucous to be played on AM Radio? Then it's hard rock or metal.
I wish I could have seen the Eagles in he 70's or 80's, I was a teenager in the seventies. I've seen the Eagles three times in the last two years. They are still awesome live. I miss Glenn Frey but his son Deacon does a great job and Vince Gill is a great addition.
I saw them in concert in the 2000s and they were AMAZING. A well-oiled musical machine. Sounded PERFECT.
If I remember correctly, "Hotel California" symbolizes Hollywood and fame. It took someone telling me decades later to realize how well it fits. Specifically the line "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" a person can leave the California life and drugs and such, but once you achieve fame, you can't leave your status. The media will follow you in spite of your desire to live outside of the lime light. I'd suggest any song off of their "Hell freezes over" album. The story behind that is that when they broke up they were asked if they'd ever reunite. Their answer was "When hell freezes over" so when they decided to get back together and tour with their hits, that was the only possible name they could use for the tour. I personally love the song "Desperado" and would love to see a reaction to it.
Love love this song! It was my Dads fav Eagle tune. I had the 45 n turned up the sound to 10! I was 15 at the time, he was early 60's..Im 62, hes long gone, But I still sing out loud whenever this song is playing for him..Love ya Dad keep Jammin'!..Thanks Soo much for this reaction Video and Yes!, the 60's, 70's were THE Era of Awesomeness!
Two years out of high school, driving through town and having a great day. Drumming on the steering wheel, singing to this one and so much more. Just amazing still, after all these years.
LIVE.....LIVE. The harmonies are so good. All bands should listen to this before they go on tour.
This is the kind of music I raised my kids in in the 90s and 2000s
Eagles greatest hits is the biggest selling album in American history. A must have for every collection.
Bigger than Dark Side of the Moon?
That would be a yes@@pamala2112
@pamala2112 and Back in Black. But yeah, it's the best selling album of all time.
This is by far my favorite song. Glad you reacted. We need more music like this.
the Eagle's Desperado
An EARLY version, please!
(It’s very recently been brought-to-light that in current-day live shows - this might only be true for the song “Desperado”, IDK - that SADLY, Don Henley is LIP SYNCING (miming/not singing it live). There’s no question, I watched a really in-depth video analysis on it the-other-day. It’s too bad and I’m sure there are reasons for it… But I STILL love the Eagles of course, and I’ve always loved Don Henley as well.)
@@marciebulsaraorcutt I can't imagine the core power & physical stamina it would take to sing & play drums at the same time, AT ALL, let alone in his MID-SEVENTIES. Especially when he's already using a lot of diaphragm support to hit all those tenor notes.
I'm sure his voice still sounds great. Dude just probably has to do one at a time these days. And I wouldn't even call that cheating, since he's still syncing to his natural voice & not something autotuned to oblivion.
@@valeriekhall I don’t disagree at all with the fact that singing and drumming is hard physically…
The performances that have been recently discovered/shown as being mimed/lip synced, are not anything “physically demanding” like that: The ballad “Desparado” (which was the performance in-question) was totally a capella… In the videos recorded, it was just Don standing at a mic (if he was tired, he could sit perched on a stool, if he wanted.) It was apparently recorded in-studio, then “tweaked” to sound live.
And yeah, I get that a respected singer in their later years might want to use some “assistance” on demanding songs. This was just SURPRISING because the part being sung was probably the LEAST demanding physically… And the audience would not have cared if live singing wasn’t perfect, they’re just attending the show to see a Legend in-person.
…And who knows? Maybe Don wasn’t well/has had something wrong with his throat during the tour.🖖
@@marciebulsaraorcutt Yeah, we'll never know. He might've even just been garden-variety ill, & unsure if he could trust his voice for the length of a full concert. If you're tapped, even the easy stuff isn't, y'know? Hope it was nothing serious.
"Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac live 1997 The Dance is worth watching if you enjoyed this.
I was born in 1977. I grew up hearing all the best music, in my opinion. My mom loves music and will listen to any style of music. My cousins were all older than me and a family get together, they'd pull out their guitar's and play. The Eagles, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Stones, CCR, Bachman Turner Overdrive etc.. So I grew up hearing all of this.
Don't think of it as you were born in the wrong era, just look at this as the opportunity to learn new music. Learn about the greats. You have so much amazing music to discover!
This is my favorite song of all time. I was born in 1969. So, eight years later, I heard this for the first time. I was hooked, line and sinker. I even love the aucstic version, too. It resonates in my soul. I have thought many times upon the meaning. But as decades goes so does what I think about what the song represents. It's just timeless. The meaning of the song is interruptable to any situation you are going through at the time. It's a timeless song. I know it will be played for a long time coming. Reavelennt to everyone even to those who haven't heard it yet. It's a masterpiece of song writing.
Hotel California = life=hell
U can check out anytime u like
But u can never leave
The excesses of the celebrity lifestyle actually.
It is whatever your vice is..."she" in the song just makes offers, "you" get yourself stuck in the vice of your choice; which can be hell.
@@feistyphoenix289 The Eagles themselves described the song as their "interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles".
"on a dark desert highway..." "I'm getting vibes of being on the beach".. 🤣🤣
"Everybody wants to know what that song was about, and we don't know," Glen Frey, founder member of the band, said in a BBC interview eight years ago. A decade earlier, he was more forthcoming, telling NBC's Bob Costas that he and Henley "wanted to write a song that was sort of like an episode of the Twilight Zone". "All of our songs were cinematic, but we wanted to open up with [a montage]," he said. "It was just one shot to the next - a picture of a guy on the highway, a picture of the hotel, the guy walks in, the door opens, strange people. We take this guy and make him like a character in The Magus, where every time he walks through a door, there's a new version of reality. We decided to create something strange, just to see if we could do it. And then a lot was read into it - a lot more than probably exists. I think we achieved perfect ambiguity."
Greatest music. When music wasnt generated as it is now. Enjoy & i recommend listening to more in this era.
Dive into the Eagles catalog...all great songs...hit after hit! Iconic talent.
Although many ascribe their own meanings to this song, Don Henley, in interviews makes the same claim always. One night, he left L.A.'s Whiskey A Go Go club on the Sunset strip, very drunk, and drove out of LA into the desert on his way to Needles, CA to find some peyote. On the way he was listening to the guitar part (the chord progressions that goes over and over), passing old hotels, and cactus, and thinking about life.
"This is a song about losing one's innocence. Going from adolescence to adult hood, taking on the responsibilities and realizing you can never go back to being innocent again.". Everything else is just clever word play.
Don Henley explained it"a journey from innocence to experience, that's all ".
The Hotel California tour was my first rock concert. I will never forget it.
This a very classic song. The Eagles are so very awesome. I am 68 years old, and I still love this music. Love your reaction!
‘So badass’ describes this song perfectly
My favorite eagles song is "Take it to the Limit"
The Eagles are an amazing group, great musicians...lets go.
I am having an absolute blast watching a new generation discover the musical genius of my life’s soundtrack! You’ve barely scratched the surface. My kids (somewhere in the vicinity of your age) were brought up on Classic Rock and still enjoy it.
Born & raised Hollywood, Ca, oh,the memories sitting in the Hollywood sign 😅 or elsewhere in the hills overlooking the ocean 🌅 blasting this song 🎶🎶🎶 ✌️✌️✌️
I’m almost 63 years old, so was in high school when this came out (and for the majority of the Eagles rein). I actually feel like I’m no older than you (even though I don’t know your age). The music was written by the guitarist Don Felder, the one with the double-stacked guitar, and Don Henley (the singer/drummer) wrote the majority of the lyrics.
I remember an interview with Don Henley being asked what this song means, and he said it was a song about “the journey from innocence to experience”. That about says it all!
For the life of me, I don't know why they give the RUclips reaction people a hard time. Always blows my mind when people haven't heard of the Eagles or other great bands of the 70's & 80's (my favorite eras - like the 60's to). As I listen to reactions, it surprises me how many people haven't heard of these great bands. You are doing them a favor exposing new generations to great music so maybe they download songs keeping the revenues coming in. I always subscribe to my favorite bands and listen to the entire song without interruptions on their website. But I also love seeing people react for the first time. Keep up the great work!
I want to thank you. I appreciate everything you do. I am so very grateful to you.
This has to be top ten rock songs of all time
Everybody in the United States has watched that video. At least in terms of volume of people.
This song is legendary!
Hotel California is by far my favorite Eagles song, but the best part of the song is definitely the back and forth guitar battle between Joe Walsh (in the red bandana) and Don Felder. I love watching their facial expressions as they play off each other. It's like one is saying, not bad man, but listen to this, and the other says, cool, but I can top that. One of the greatest, fun guitar battles between band mates! And keep rocking Man, love your reations!
This "Hotel California " performance is soooo iconic nephew 💙. This performance is a masterpiece. Chef's kiss 💋 🖤🖤🖤
The Don Felder/Joe Walsh guitar at the end just gets better every time I hear it.
Cliff, keep this in mind about this time period in music. 1976-78 saw these bands release albums. Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Styx, Foreigner released two, Boston, Kansas, Chicago, The Commodores, Steve Miller Band, Bee Gees and Bob Seger to name a few. My point is this, the best music of all time was constantly on the radio over a three year period. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album sold 10 million copies in the first 30 days. Hotel California is one of the biggest selling albums of all time and the song is one of the two most requested songs in the world along with Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. We couldn't look up lyrics back then, so we'd listen to the song over and over again to try and learn the words. That in itself connects you to the band and the song for life. If you haven't gone down the rabbit holes of the aforementioned artists, you're in for a real treat, if you dare to!
I love your reactions! You are so down to earth and intelligent. Keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you out in the world!
This is my number one all time favourite song!!
Old Joe Walsh, he was only drunk once…for 20 years. Still the Magic Man.
Oh yeahhhhhhh...great song, they have such a huge catalog of great songs, hope your reaction goes thru....another great song of theirs is Victim of Love...thanks for doing this ❤❤❤
The 70's were truly the best era for music.
Eagles played a concert in my town in 2005 and it sold out in 8 minutes! Crazy. I don't think there's an Eagles song I don't love, and their range is fantastic. LIsten to Seven Bridges Road and then listen to Those Shoes.
One of my top 2 favorite songs of all time.
One of my all time favorite bands. They are all so talented and had solo hits as well.
One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands ever! So many good memories with this one!
Rumours,Silk Degrees,Bat Out Of Hell and Hotel California classic albums from 1977.
Possibly the best guitar solo (duo?) in rock history.
This song, for me, will forever be in El Paso Tx where I was assigned in late 1976 after graduating from dialysis school at Walter Reed.
We had to go in at ohdarkthirty every day to get all the patients taken care of cause it took a while to set everything up. So I heard this on the radio almost every morning blazing down gateway highway watching the sun break the rim of the desert. Amazing days... My daughter was born there.
Your listening to greatness never to be again ever. Lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
This song so perfectly encapsulates the era of 1970's it still gives me chills to this day, it's hard to explain but this song manages to narrate an entire decade of debauchery, insanity, and the mindblown survivors that made it out of the 60's. Some of us checked out, but none of us left.
I was 15 yrs old when Hotel California was released. Wow to be a teen in 70's best music best bands. Just pure talent
I saw the Eagles several times in the 70's, they were amazing 😍
My sister and her husband took me to the Eagles concert for my 16th birthday! My very first concert!! It was awesome! And an old guy that i had never heard of opened for them; the one and only Roy Orbison!!
I saw this concert a couple years ago when they did the whole album from front to back in order. In the middle of the concert a lady came out and turned over the record on the big turntable they had on the stage. I cried the whole way through the concert with my adolescence bleeding out all over the stage. God it was a good time for music back then. And a magical time to grow up in southern California.
Oh dude I love this song so much. My Mom was a HUGE Eagles fan, & I grew up on the Hotel California album. When I first saw this video of them performing it live (in my teens I believe) I was TRIPPIN when I saw Don Henley playing drums & singing! 🤯 I had never seen that before. Amazing band!!! 🔥
