Im right here with you back in 2023 and these Musicians have blown my mind. Awesome....love the location. Wish I was there sitting by the water revealing in these Men's talents in person. Great performance.
For all non-musicians here, let me explain what this is. This is an insanely perfect rendition of a complex song, played by completely acoustic instruments, all in one take, with brilliant percussion (drums) wonderful voice and 4 guitars, all in perfect sync. They played the special Live version which includes a very hard intro and a special version of the end solo, which is hard to find, so I can assume they learned all this by ear. Please applaud. This is one of a kind.
I found this on 14 Oct 24. Why wasn’t this video on my feed 8 years ago??!! What an absolute masterpiece! I can’t imagine the amount of talent and passion it took to create this. Massive respect! 🙌🏼
In 1976, the legendary Eagles recorded their track in a fully equipped studio. In contrast, you guys had none of that - instead, you were surrounded by crocs and snakes. Yet, you delivered a superb performance. I would have liked to see a bit more from the backup singers, but hey, with no electric guitars, boys, you absolutely nailed it. All the Best to you and Keep singing...
That’s why they had the guy in the back. He didn’t sing or play any instruments. He was the bait for the crocs, just in case, as to not ruin the session.
@@firemonkey1015 hard work is talent,try doing it, it's hard for a reason,not everyone has the talent of perseverance and trying again and again over again. People fail at this, just like me and you. It requires talent to have that level of patience.
@@sunset1394 I am a guitarist. So no I didn’t fail at anything. Creation is where the talent is, finding certain catchy melodies which the public can enjoy. Anyone can learn techniques or music that came before, many can also just pick up a guitar and find the notes for it, this is all learned from years of practice. Making a catchy song though really isn’t. It’s the voice you have. All I’m saying is that when people mention “talent” for things like this it makes a lot of people give up on guitar because they think they just aren’t “talented”. Everyone can learn this stuff, just takes dedication and time.
Dude sameee! My mom showed me the hell freezes over show when I was young and just starting to really get into guitar and said if I could master this song she'd give me all her props. I learned up until Joe Walshs last solo lol this video definitely makes me wanna finish learning it and do my own cover. Inspired! Lol
The guitar work in this is absolutely sensational and seems like it was shot on a mobile phone without much equipment. Imagine how insane this would sound in a studio, these guys are insanely talented!
Talent is everywhere and with the help of TH-cam, we are treated to a treasure from an otherwise unknown part of the world. Music is universal as demonstrated by these Rockstars. Good job fellas and thank you for that great performance!! 10 thumbs up. 👍🏽x10
@@LahiruD I discovered your channel today. Wow you guy play hotel California from the Eagle sounds almost like the original version . That’s amazing and make me want to learn how to play guitar on this song because I can sing this song too . I just bought my guitar yesterday from Costco 😃👍💕
These guys are Sri Lankans, a island in the South Asia, in the Indian Ocean. In our country, we always have a first place for English songs whether it's on a booze party with friends or church festival 🇱🇰❤️🇱🇰❤️🇱🇰❤️🇱🇰
Hotel California used to be the most popular English song in Sri Lanka in the early 2000s because the Hell Freezes Over version of this song was frequently broadcasted on our local TV channels. All my friends in high school knew the lyrics by heart, and many local bands regularly played this song in their live shows. I'm sure this is why these guys can also play it so well.
@@LahiruD wow…I’m not sure what I’m more impressed with…this wonderful cover that gave me goosebumps or the fact that a comment is still answered after 7 years! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Best of luck on your guitar journey-the most rewarding one a person could ever take, in my opinion. This video is a beautiful illustration of joy and talent perfectly woven together.
I loved every moment of it. Nothing flashy, nothing forced. I wish I could do that with my friends. It's so much more beautiful than any onstage rendition.
Stumbled on this video today... 28th Oct. 2023....what a performance from these talented Sri Lankan kids.. simple and modest... but the rendition is fantastic.. from Malaysia...
Just think, these guys are 11 years older now. Probably in the their mid twenties and early 30’s. Some probably have kids. One of them might be dead and if not they’ve definitely lost some people close to them. Time flys. Enjoy life. Be kind to others and be kind to yourself. Cheers bro! Awesome cover. It gave me goosebumps. You guys nailed it. Positive energy, peace, blessings, and happiness to all:) ❤️🔥🎶🕺
This was made in 2015 in bentota river sri lanka.. none died yet😁😁.. but most are't in sri lanka now.. vocal and one wearing purple color shirt are australia , druma in maldives , another one in italy, red t shirt still sri lanka.. only drama has two kids😁😁😁
@user-en9ii9fb9q like the leadparts, neet and pitched very well. I was played keyboard in 2 bands 3 years ago, so I know how much chill you can get this kind of moment. That's priceless.
Four acoustic guitars, no high tech recording, in fact no electricity as they were down by a mangrove swamp, amazing ! Thank you my friends for a superb rendition of a well known song that you made your own. Class act,
This is a perfect example of how great music transcends all boundaries, all cultures, all faiths and all nations. It is ever pervasive and is not limited by ( or to) one single language. It is a language of its own. Great job guys. I am sure you all are very proud of this beautiful rendition
But you may have the deepest appreciation. Music isn't music without ears and a mind to appreciate it. Play your guitar sometime for a garden. Plants actually can listen ( its been proven ). They may not be as critical and really appreciate you.
❤ i Play music but not this well, it’s takes more practice and patience,,and I talk to my plants too, they are beautiful and I am maybe better gardening than playing music, ❤, it would be fun just to sit and jam with this group ❤😊
I've watched many Sri Lankan bands do this song, and these guys are absolutely top notch. The main vocalist is easily one of the best I've heard. It's pretty normal for local boys to jam this way, it usually involves alcohol and laughs too.
I know that Sri Lanka is going through a tough time, but don't give up and don't lose hope, God is with you all, you guys, represent your people somehow, greetings from Brazil
I wonder if they know that life gets no better than this. Kicking it with the boys jamming out on some tunes on the local swamp. This ladies and gentlemen is being on top.
Thank you very much for the love Eric… Yeah… life is amazing sometimes… ❤🎉 The day we did this cover was unforgettable too.. That was 6 years ago… Cheers… Hope to do more covers.. come and enjoy more songs and covers that I did in my TH-cam channel.

Yep, I have this group of cellos, we're 4 friends and playing with the boyz is the most fun part of my whole musician life. Just jam it up, make the worst jokes for hours on end, flex to each other. It's just the life man
This is just the most beautiful, complex cover of a song that simply isn’t easy to cover. Acoustics, percussion, I’m really lost for words for how impressive this is. The world is beautiful, and this just goes to show how music can connect cultures of all types.
Sri Lankans produce one of the best music in the world. They got soul!! 🙏🏼❤️ the island itself is a paradise. The people are extremely artistic in many ways. 🇫🇮❤️🇱🇰
yeah theyre lovely and sweet ......but why do they play western music when they have the 'best music in the world' ? god I hate pricks like you patronising some guys playing guitars you wouldn't say that if they came from Essex
I think that this is, by far, the best rendition of "Hotel California"! Better than the original. And played the way all music should be played, not in a pretentious setting but among friends.
I'm a musician myself of over 45 yrs and this is one of the best hotel calf cover versions i have ever heard! Guess i maybe should practice alittle more huh? Lol great job guys!! Keep up the great work, looking forward in hearing more of your work in the near future! ❤❤❤
Well put. I too have heard this song covered many times. And yes this is a difficult song to get across and make memorable with out it coming across as forced. These guys made it flow like water. Making the setting appropo.
Natural human talent, natural outside environment amphitheater, with no auto tune, no separate tracks, no studio. One or two off pitch notes, but that shows that these are real human beings and not AI bots! Good job, guy! Stay true to your craft and never give up too much of yourselves, that you can’t live without, don’t sell out!
There's a Halleluijah cover done by him in his original channel if you're interested in listening to him. It's a solo. th-cam.com/video/23g8kgkEvR8/w-d-xo.html
The intro immediately grabbed my attention. I expected to hear an instrumental, but then the vocals hit it out of the park from the first note. This is so damn impressive. Imagine if this was recorded in a studio. Amazing job.
Holy shit this made me tear up. The musicianship on display in a raft on a swamp in Sri Lanka that subjectively blows away the US mainstream music industry. So fucking dope, these guys are happy souls☮️
what a disillusioned hippyish bollocks comment this is! You have no idea what you are talking about but you think you are being a music purist. You're full of shit dude. Just be you, life's a lot easier when you don't try and be cool. The first rule of being cool is if you try, you aren't.
These guys were using $100 entry level acoustic guitars and still sounded great. Just goes to prove you don't need to be rich to rock. You just need passion and practice.
@@ariesdane5876 Exactly, this guy is just being an idiot. I can’t stand cocky ass musicians, they think they’re above and beyond everyone. Delusional schmuck.
Brings a tear to my eye. This is life. This is what's its all about. Friendship and good times. Look at what can be achieved no matter who you are or where you are, the covenant you form with the brothers outside the womb matter the most. Excellent musicianship. Great execution. This is humanity manifest.
That has got to be the very best Hotel California I have EVER heard!!! I grew up on the Eagles, but these guys put the originals to shame! I’m 60 years old and I am glad I lived to hear this version of it! Thank you guys! I can’t wait to hear more of this most talented group!!! Many good successes my new channel family!!!❤ from A Texas Granny
they have the American accents when they sing. I think it is adorable! 😂 Keep it up young men! I wish that the Palestinians will also figure out that this is the way for a happier life for all.
@@angeltolentino4 yup, that intro took me a while to pick up as well but its worth the time you spend, Now a day everytime I pick a guitar that Intro and Hero from Iglesias is way to go.. Beautifully crafted
Its like you are super hungry, walk into a simple looking restaurant and get served a feast you can relish forever. The vocals, man....massive man ( love your goggles and your cool look, easy as, the BOSS). Keep it going baayz , SALUTE !
Can you imagine how much good music we would have if actual talented people like this were under the spotlight rather than some of the shitty “artists” that are?
Wow, I am nearly speechless at hearing this! I just happened to run across this video by chance, and I'm SO GLAD I clicked on it! I don't even know what to say, except that I am totally blown away by your talent. With only acoustic guitars and drums, and your voices, you managed to nail this song perfectly! Fantastic job, guys. I will never forget this!
When you listen to the live version, with all the glam that comes from a stage performance, you think it’s impossible for any group of people to replicate it. Then you see a group of young folks on a boat absolutely crush their rendition :D anyone can do anything, it’s not about production, but dedication to the craft!
I have performed professionally since I was a teenager and I have worked alongside some of the greatest, but let me tell you that these guys can stand beside any and above many! Just listen! For those of you who might not know…. this is not an easy piece. This is smooth! And, the vocalist is amazing! Congratulations fellows. I hope we see and hear more. Stay as you are…. Wonderful!
Bare foot, surrounded by friends, free, loving what comes out of you playing your instruments, singing, as if nobody's around, amazing skill, smiling... That's what music is meant to be! You guys forcefully made my night much much better!
This is the dream. Sitting by the water jamming with your buddies on acoustics and making great memories. Love to see it, and wish I had buddies to do this with.
Damn Dudes!!!!!! You guys rocked the house. I can't fathom not seeing this until now, almost 7 years after you posted. And you picked a perfect spot in one of your nations protected mangrove forests. I learned a new fact today that said Sri Lanka is the first nation in the world to officially protect your mangrove forests from further over development and replant areas that have already been devastated. Good stuff. If you guys still play together, you should cover Queens 'Mother Love'. For some reason, the incredible lead vocal and guitar seems like a perfect fit. I wish the leaders of every nation knew how to play an instrument or sing and jam together on a monthly basis. Guaranteed, we would see global conflicts decrease to zero in no time.
Music is pure magic! There's no cultural limits for music. There's no language limitations. You can play it amazingly on a cheap instrument, it can keep you away from depression, it"ll be there on every important moment of you life. These guys just did that magic.
Music brings all cultures together. Music is the most powerful force ever invented and through song we can all get along. Stop the hate. Those men rocked it. Peace.
just imagine the ammount of amazing covers that these dudes can bless us by using this format. 4 acoustic guitars, percussion, great vocals and a mangrove. *Please* keep sharing your talent with the world. As a fellow musician I'm so grateful this cover exists
This is just sooo good! Back in 2023! What I would give to be able to jam with these guys!
The legend
❤❤❤
Its still 2023, you got time man! Don't give up! Never give up! Life is worth living, don't do it, it'll get better, trust me. Don't do it!
Back in 2023?

Agreed.
@Thomas Brock until you find out your wife is sleeping with another man behind your back
@Thomas Brock a woman may not be with us very long, but the music will play on. Enjoy them both while you can.
Yep, I have this group of cellos, we're 4 friends and playing with the boyz is the most fun part of my whole musician life. Just jam it up, make the worst jokes for hours on end, flex to each other. It's just the life man
This is just the most beautiful, complex cover of a song that simply isn’t easy to cover. Acoustics, percussion, I’m really lost for words for how impressive this is. The world is beautiful, and this just goes to show how music can connect cultures of all types.
Thank you soo much ❤️❤️❤️
complex lololol
@@xxhorrorpunkxx pop song couldn't be any simplier even if i like it.
Great job to all players!!!!
@@alexisfarou4068yeah it’s not that complex at all, but still good at least
8 years on and TH-cam algorithm finally gives me a gem of a recommendation ❤
Who else got this video in recommendation randomly.❤
Me too ❤️
Me too.

Same I remember I watched it a couple years ago and it popped up again for me
It’s been 7 years since the video was posted. You guys still put a heart in people’s comments. What a legend
Sri Lankans produce one of the best music in the world. They got soul!! 🙏🏼❤️ the island itself is a paradise. The people are extremely artistic in many ways. 🇫🇮❤️🇱🇰
thank you 🙂
Hotel California
Yooo I love Finland too! I'm gonna come there oneday😊
@@somebody69747 amen!
yeah theyre lovely and sweet ......but why do they play western music when they have the 'best music in the world' ? god I hate pricks like you patronising some guys playing guitars you wouldn't say that if they came from Essex
I think that this is, by far, the best rendition of "Hotel California"! Better than the original. And played the way all music should be played, not in a pretentious setting but among friends.
Good Lord; Don't get carried away.
I'm a musician myself of over 45 yrs and this is one of the best hotel calf cover versions i have ever heard! Guess i maybe should practice alittle more huh? Lol great job guys!! Keep up the great work, looking forward in hearing more of your work in the near future! ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
It sure is great mooosic
Not near the best.... lol
Better than the Eagles themselves.
Well put. I too have heard this song covered many times. And yes this is a difficult song to get across and make memorable with out it coming across as forced. These guys made it flow like water. Making the setting appropo.
I've been a guitarist for 65 years. You guys do a great job on this song.
Same here..........about 59 years......guys did a good job.
So did you notice it was out of tune... Bothers the shit outta me
Just had a guitar recently. I'm gonna go for trainings 😊
Hotel California is the song!
Its an old ultimate classic rock song.
These guys played almost 99% close to it.
Way to go bros.❤

Natural human talent, natural outside environment amphitheater, with no auto tune, no separate tracks, no studio. One or two off pitch notes, but that shows that these are real human beings and not AI bots! Good job, guy! Stay true to your craft and never give up too much of yourselves, that you can’t live without, don’t sell out!
Bro this guys voice is incredible. You guys rocked it.
Agree

There's a Halleluijah cover done by him in his original channel if you're interested in listening to him. It's a solo.

Nothing can beat this level of awesomeness and perfection
The intro immediately grabbed my attention. I expected to hear an instrumental, but then the vocals hit it out of the park from the first note. This is so damn impressive. Imagine if this was recorded in a studio. Amazing job.
❤️❤️❤️
A swamp is WAY better!!!!
Holy shit this made me tear up. The musicianship on display in a raft on a swamp in Sri Lanka that subjectively blows away the US mainstream music industry. So fucking dope, these guys are happy souls☮️
Yes indeed.👍
Not swamp though, it's mangrove forest.
LOL!!!!
what a disillusioned hippyish bollocks comment this is! You have no idea what you are talking about but you think you are being a music purist. You're full of shit dude. Just be you, life's a lot easier when you don't try and be cool. The first rule of being cool is if you try, you aren't.
Cara..... vocês são fascinantes , eu daria nota mil por esse trabalho e digo vocês já emplacaram..... desejo lhes muito sucesso !!
People in million-dollar studios with all kinds of computers wish they could sound so great. Amazing job gentlemen. Thank you! Cheers.
Dude , I don't know what your hearing but this sounds like a hot mess to me.
These guys were using $100 entry level acoustic guitars and still sounded great. Just goes to prove you don't need to be rich to rock. You just need passion and practice.
@@ariesdane5876 Exactly, this guy is just being an idiot. I can’t stand cocky ass musicians, they think they’re above and beyond everyone. Delusional schmuck.
@@shanemiller6982 hot hot hot
@@shanemiller6982 actually the lead guitarists and percussionist were not bad at all.
Brings a tear to my eye. This is life. This is what's its all about. Friendship and good times. Look at what can be achieved no matter who you are or where you are, the covenant you form with the brothers outside the womb matter the most. Excellent musicianship. Great execution. This is humanity manifest.

Dear Sri Lanka,
Love from India ❤
Love and bravo! from Florida 🦩🌴🇺🇸

Sending love back from 🇱🇰❤️❤️
That has got to be the very best Hotel California I have EVER heard!!! I grew up on the Eagles, but these guys put the originals to shame! I’m 60 years old and I am glad I lived to hear this version of it! Thank you guys! I can’t wait to hear more of this most talented group!!! Many good successes my new channel family!!!❤ from A Texas Granny
So cool!
The lead guitarist and the singer was unbelievable ❤
they have the American accents when they sing. I think it is adorable! 😂 Keep it up young men! I wish that the Palestinians will also figure out that this is the way for a happier life for all.
They are better than anything your Texas shits.
The only difference is that they live in a 3rd world country and you do not.
The original harmonics were better imho. Although I love this version. Beautifully done guys, keep it up!
❤❤❤❤no fancy microphone, no computer, no sound effect. This is is talent. This is how music is supposed to be. Amazing
Wala na ako masabi ang galing talaga. Proud here from philippine.❤❤❤

@@Mfezisuxcux listening them since 2000'
Not too many people can come together like these guys and perform a song as complex as Hotel California and nail it like they did, BRAVO 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
OLD IS GOLD...!!🤩🇱🇰
පරණ එකක් ආයෙ පත්තුවීගෙන එනවද මන්ද😍👌💯
To the tea.
I bet if you play them both together at the same time. They would ecos each other to the exact same seconds
Salute to Sri Lankan young sensations. Absolutely lovely. Just outstanding!!!! ❤❤
Dude in red shirt can shred the strings! And lead singer has some serious pipes! Well done y'all👍👍👍💪✊
🎶🎤🎶🎸🎶
Agree!! The intro gave me the goosebumps!
He's probably drowning in bobs and vagenes right now
@@angeltolentino4 yup, that intro took me a while to pick up as well but its worth the time you spend, Now a day everytime I pick a guitar that Intro and Hero from Iglesias is way to go.. Beautifully crafted
Its like you are super hungry, walk into a simple looking restaurant and get served a feast you can relish forever. The vocals, man....massive man ( love your goggles and your cool look, easy as, the BOSS). Keep it going baayz , SALUTE !
Can you imagine how much good music we would have if actual talented people like this were under the spotlight rather than some of the shitty “artists” that are?
A lot of what passes for talent now is just a manufactured product using the universal language of music for twisted greed driven manipulation
...true that...this just blows my mind.
they are part of an incestuous network : the ones who inherited power
We DO have good music. Everyone is welcome to listen to artists out of the big spotlight that is mainstream. They exist in plenty.
@@gargaduk They exist plenty, though are few and far known which makes it a rarity.
WOW WOW WOW! This is incredible guys. Beyond impressed 👌👌👌👌
Wow, I am nearly speechless at hearing this! I just happened to run across this video by chance, and I'm SO GLAD I clicked on it! I don't even know what to say, except that I am totally blown away by your talent. With only acoustic guitars and drums, and your voices, you managed to nail this song perfectly! Fantastic job, guys. I will never forget this!
Wow, thank you!
Yep! Saved forever!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
not even drums but a tamborine being used for a drum.

His voice is hitting me right where I live.......and that long awaited guitar solo has me weeping......I love you guys,
No, please dont stop! Xx
❤️❤️❤️
When you listen to the live version, with all the glam that comes from a stage performance, you think it’s impossible for any group of people to replicate it. Then you see a group of young folks on a boat absolutely crush their rendition :D anyone can do anything, it’s not about production, but dedication to the craft!
November 12 still loving this masterpiece ❤❤
The view🗿❤

I have performed professionally since I was a teenager and I have worked alongside some of the greatest, but let me tell you that these guys can stand beside any and above many! Just listen! For those of you who might not know…. this is not an easy piece. This is smooth! And, the vocalist is amazing!
Congratulations fellows. I hope we see and hear more. Stay as you are…. Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!

Bare foot, surrounded by friends, free, loving what comes out of you playing your instruments, singing, as if nobody's around, amazing skill, smiling... That's what music is meant to be! You guys forcefully made my night much much better!
This is the dream. Sitting by the water jamming with your buddies on acoustics and making great memories. Love to see it, and wish I had buddies to do this with.
Me too man. Me too.
U guys should just join a discord server or use Twitter or something to meet homies irl
Bro let’s go
all my real life friends have no talent in music sadly
@Mr. De León no I mean ppl u meet in real life
As a die-hard Eagles fan, I hotta say this is superb!! Best wishes to all & I hope to hear many more from you! 👍👌❤️🔥
More to come!
Just pure class, my favorite from long again, now my son knows sings it with all his might .thanks guys
Damn Dudes!!!!!! You guys rocked the house. I can't fathom not seeing this until now, almost 7 years after you posted. And you picked a perfect spot in one of your nations protected mangrove forests. I learned a new fact today that said Sri Lanka is the first nation in the world to officially protect your mangrove forests from further over development and replant areas that have already been devastated. Good stuff. If you guys still play together, you should cover Queens 'Mother Love'. For some reason, the incredible lead vocal and guitar seems like a perfect fit. I wish the leaders of every nation knew how to play an instrument or sing and jam together on a monthly basis. Guaranteed, we would see global conflicts decrease to zero in no time.

Yeah right! That's why all Rock Bands never Breakout
This is still the coolest jam session ive ever seen on the internet
Music is pure magic! There's no cultural limits for music. There's no language limitations. You can play it amazingly on a cheap instrument, it can keep you away from depression, it"ll be there on every important moment of you life. These guys just did that magic.
@@alanvargas8719 I'm trying out a kalimba rn nothing more budget friendly or portable yet you can make some complex tunes
This music is etched within their soul, so they can deliver it perfectly and give a blow on our soul too
Beautiful gentlemen, thanks for the exceptional music ❤
WOW! These gentlemen deserve the Grammy, American, Billboard and Latin Grammy Awards.
Even the anacondas nearby are hypnotized by the brilliant performamce of this band....
Bravo!
Lol...
Well played 😭💀🐍
Don't forget the Crocs and piranhas
Even underwater monster also hypnotized by this insane performance
😂😂❤
Music brings all cultures together. Music is the most powerful force ever invented and through song we can all get along. Stop the hate. Those men rocked it. Peace.
Amen.
F*ck those hattings
Stop what hate?
Who doesn't think this is a great cover?
damn that was deep
no one invented it lol, it is essential to life
This video just made me say: “woow”. Awesome cover! Love it!
Cat fish and crocodile might be chilling under the water..
What a lovely cover up ❤️
I think so too!

😊😉no worries they are chilling & listening
😂😂great one
😂😂 everyone's chilling under and above water👍
They look so casual, yet so natural. It's such a beauty to behold!
just imagine the ammount of amazing covers that these dudes can bless us by using this format. 4 acoustic guitars, percussion, great vocals and a mangrove. *Please* keep sharing your talent with the world. As a fellow musician I'm so grateful this cover exists
That would be cool!
Why can't they make beautiful music like this anymore? 🙏❤️
