@@StevenCosta-tp2sw Watch closer, Felder plays the 12 string on the beginning of the verses and then half way through the verses, he switched to the 6 string bottom part. The chorus and the guitar duet is played on the 6 string.
The guitarist that was wearing the red bandana is Joe Walsh. He’s got some great music out there and two of his great songs that many people like are, Rocky Mountain Way & the second one is Life’s been good.
Each and everyone of them have songs that they sing, not just Don Henley (who was a fucking wildman in life) They are a classic EVERYONE CAN DO IT ALL Band
When you sound just as good in concert as you do in the studio - that says something This is probably the most famous guitar riff in history and it's probably one of the top best rock-n-roll songs of all time. Keep going with them. All of the band members have their own songs. This particular concert has other really good ones as well "Take It Easy", "Take it to the Limit" just to name two more.
That is the LEGENDARY Joe Walsh with the bandana on. Check out. ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY and LIFES BEEN GOOD TO ME SO FAR. you hear the cheer from the crowd when he starts playing that duo ending
If you liked this song, then react to their entire Eagles Greatest Hits album released in 1976. Just like your Led Zeppelin album journey, this Eagles album is fully loaded, top to bottom, with bangers. 👍🏻
Each person in this band can sing. Check out the bass guitarist, Randy Meisner singing Take it to the limit.Glenn Frye, another guitarist, sing Lying Eyes, Joe Walsh sing In the city. You will enjoy checking out the Eagles.
tThe Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number-one singles, six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards. The Eagles members are>>> Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals), and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals) who had all been recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her self-titled third solo studio album (1972), before venturing out on their own as the Eagles on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label. Glenn Frey(fry) R.I.P. is the lead singer and drummer on this song.
lol...hahaha...bro...I grew up with musicians and being a singer and performer, we just get off on the sound and skill that the other musicians create at that moment and we all started laughing and the laughing would be 15 or 20 minutes...and then we would go right back and play the same part of a song. It's unexplanable that energy exchange.....soul-to-soul.....but if you are a person that really feels the music...You Get It!!! Oh..btw...the guitar player that you like is Joe Walsh who is one of the 10 top best guitarist in Rock n' Roll History....He has several albums out that are famous and well known.
They are definitely in the top 3 best live bands I've ever seen and I have seen 127 different bands live. Tickets were pricey but absolutely worth it plus some.
What Walsh and Felder are doing is a guitar harmony. It's not two guitars playing the same thing, it's two guitars playing different parts that harmonize together. You can see they're playing in different positions on the neck. Just in case anyone wants to know.
Don Henley, drummer and singer on this song, had an affinity for the fast lane that people live in places like Los Angeles and Hollywood. He had several songs about how much he disliked the drug filled, exuberance that most people follow in places like this. While the song sounds upbeat the lyrics form a different picture. He is an awesome drummer/lyricist and had many hits on his own when the Eagles broke up.
Eagles at this show are Don Henley. Lead Vocals/ Drums Glenn Frey. Accustic Guitar Randy Meisner. Bass Joe Walsh. Lead Guitar Don Felder. Double Neck Lead Guitar **the music and concept for the song was written by guitarist Don Felder , the lyrics were written with the help of Don Henley & Glenn Frey.
The crazy eyes guitarist is Joe Walsh. His Les Paul guitar is the one played by Jimmy Page on the Stairway To Heaven recording. Check out his stuff like Rocky Mountain Way. Legendary.
1977 I was 8 yrs old....Seen The Eagles on July 11th, 1994 at their "Hell Freezes Over" Tour in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I was 24 yrs old and pregnant with my son at that concert and by the time he was 5 years old he could sing every word to Hotel California..lol. They played 28 songs that night and 3 encores..One of the BEST concerts and I've been to a ton! Great times and memories.
Ask any member of The Eagles what this song means and a resounding "you tell us what it means to you". 😊❤ The Eagles are another DEEP hole. Try "Take It Easy". Take it Kezzy!
@@h.w.hilton6819people get this wrong I grew up with the Eagles but the Mercedes-Benz part is actually wrong in the CC version it's actually the "Mercedes bends"... If you look on the original album cover and also Henley got upset once because the lady told him he misspelled his lyrics lol and it meant the same thing that she had a bent basically towards the finer things
@@apexshaver7301 You are correct, my apologies. My mind was seeing the auto, so I automatically assumed it was alluding to her affluent lifestyle, which still holds true as you pointed out. Thank you.
The 70's was the golden age of rock. So glad I grew up with such talented bands whose music still hits hard today. And yes, they all had bars before rap was a thing.
It’s awesome to see you enjoy one of my fav’s. This song came out in the summer of my 12th year and brings back great memories. I saw the Eagles live in Vancouver BC about 10 years ago when they still toured with Glen Frey before he passed away. They were amazing!
Love seeing you find all this amazing music and seeing your reaction! You are really going down the right rabbit holes as far as the best music that has ever been created and seeing how you love it as much as everyone who has grown up or listened to this music. You should really react to the 1991 Moscow Metallica live performances, those will blow you away!
David Gilmour, Comfortably Numb live at Pompei. David is the guitar/ singer of Pink Floyd. They recorded this song in the 70s. Now in 2016 David himself is 70, and the two solos in this song are a masterpiece, he's never been better. Sit back, hit that vape and enjoy the experience. Amazing
Got to play guitar one time, at my moms wedding with Timothy S. he was a cousin of my Step Dads best friend, yet still was never a real Eagles Fan... Talent yes,, they are great, but never did really jump on the Eagles Band Wagon.. I will say,,, the song Hotel California, is one of the best Songs Ever Writen, Produced, and Performed. Hands Down, It earned its Place. On the other hand, if there was one guitar player I would love to play even above and beyond, and this goes even before my favorite guitar players,,, it would be Joe Walsh,,, he just looks like the most fun M.Fukkkkkkkkkkar to ever sit down on strings and jam with.
Grew up in the 70s with bands like this.... I knew it was good at the time, but didn't know it was going to turn out to be iconic! Linda Ronstadt had a big hand in getting this band rolling, TY for that Linda. All of these members could do lead vocal...... crazy talented! Absolutely fantastic reaction, TY.
Don Henley on drums and lead vocals, Glen Frey on acoustic guitar, Don Felder on the double neck guitar, Joe Walsh on electric 6 string guitar, Randy Meisner on Bass. All on backing vocals.
The intro to the song is being played on the 12-string neck of the double-neck guitar. Listen to it, and notice how different it sounds. It almost sounds like two guitars are playing in unison, because every time a string is plucked, it's actually a pair of strings being plucked. The 12-string is like six "double strings". 🤙😎
Great musicians communicate with each other via looks.That's why you see guitar players looking at the drummer. They're coordinating their instruments and music.
The top neck is a 12 string, which is what he's playing in the introduction and the first half of the verses, and switches to the bottom 6 string neck for the harmonizing leads. Don Henley on drums and lead vocals, Randy Miesner on bass and vocals, Glenn Frey on acoustic 12 string and vocals, Don Felder on double neck guitar and vocals, Joe Walsh on 6 string guitar and vocals. Hope that helps you.🤘😎❤
Legends!!! Hands down THE BEST concert I've ever been to. Don Henley, Glenn Frye, and Joe Walsh all had amazing solo careers! Seven Bridges Road is a great one when it comes to harmonizing as well as so many songs others have mentioned here. Just be careful as their videos / songs tend to get blocked on TH-cam sadly
Hotel California song is about the culture and lifestyle of California because of our world famous beaches and mountains and great cuisines and Fun amusement Parks and Hollywood Movies areas.....hahaha...the song is about all day!!!!
Eagles were formed in the early 70's in Cali as a Southern rock/classic rock band w/ country influences... they dropped their debut album in 1972 & released 6 studio albums but they broke up in 1980... However, Eagles' popularity grew after they broke up to levels of Michael Jackson... Their compilation album "Their Greatest hits '71 - '75" ... has sold 38 million copies in the US alone (45 million worldwide)...Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has sold 34 million copies in the US (70 million worldwide) Eagles' album 'Hotel California' (1976) has sold 26 million copies in the US... one of the top 5 selling records of all time... Don Henley (drums/ vocals) said he wrote the song 'Hotel California' about being disillusioned about life in the West Coast... where everyone seemed to come to either be a movie star... model ... rock star... just to get a taste of the high life ...but they get trapped by vices like drugs... sex ... and gangs... etc. Eagles were formed by Glenn Frey (guitar/ vocals), Don Henley (drums/ vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitar/ vocals) and Randy Meisner (bass)... Don Felder (lead guitar) was added for their 3rd album in 1974... 4th album 'One of these nights' became the Eagles' first #1 album on the US charts and has sold 4x platinum (4 million copies) in 1975. Eagles parted ways w/ Bernie Leadon in 1976 and replaced him w/ Joe Walsh (guitar/ vocals) as internal tensions within the band were becoming unbearable... Still, their 5th album 'Hotel California' in 1976 became a massive #1 hit. In 1977, Timothy B. Schmit (bass) replaced bassist Randy Meisner permanently for their final album 'The Long Run' in 1979 ... However, conflicts came to a head on tour between Glenn Frey and Don Felder in 1980 and resulted in an averted fight after a concert and the Eagles split up acrimoniously. In the 80's, Glenn Frey and Don Henley scored solo hits and Joe Walsh was also fairly successful as a solo artist... As Eagles' record sales grew over time, the band members finally decided to put aside their differences and reunited in 1994, releasing a live record 'Hell freezes over' which sold 9x platinum ... w/ Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmit and Don Felder... and began touring again. However, the Eagles fired guitarist Don Felder in 2001 over disputes w/ money. Eagles released their 7th and final album 'Long road out of Eden' in 2007. Glenn Frey passed away in early 2016... the Eagles continued doing concerts w/ his son Deacon Frey ... and Vince Gill. Other Eagles classics - 'Life in the fast lane'... "I can't tell you why"... 'New kid in town'... 'Take it easy'... 'Tequila sunrise'...
"I saw her standing in the doorway, I heard the mission bell I thought to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell"..... I think a lot of guys can relate to that.
🎸 That's your boy Joe Walsh wailing on that guitar‼️ 🤯 Kezzyboii, you should do a reaction to that entire Hotel California album‼️Any Eagles album‼️☮️❤️🎶
The guitarist in the bandana is the awesome Joe Walsh, a character and a joker, the other is Don Felder, master in his own right, on the double neck. Glenn Frey was on acoustic guitar, Randy Meisner on bass. Don Henley, singing and drums. Everyone sings well in this band.
I'm so surprised you were able to publish this!😯 The Eagles are usually A-holes when it comes to copyright infringement. Almost no one is able to publish any Eagles' reactions. Some people have even lost their channels due to the Eagles going after them for infringement.
Hi there, I love all the rock videos that you’ve been checking out and if you like this song, you should check out their greatest hits. Most of their songs are pretty much like soft rock, but they are all great songs.
You should hear Slash plays his guitar from guns and roses, patience, November's rain just a few, you should do a live review on both of these songs, if you like great guitar, seriously you'll be amazed
"Hotel California" is a meta fore for a place that caters to addicts. That passage where he sings "in the masters chambers they gather for the feast, they stab it with their steeling knives (needles) but they just can't kill the beast" and "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave ' means that you can 'check out' (die) but you can never leave the Hotel California because of the addiction(s) and the hold it has over you body and soul. He's singing about a fictional place but I'm sure such places did and do exist sadly.
The double-necked guitar has a 6-string on the bottom, and a 12-string on top. A 12-string guitar has two strings per note, so it has a much fuller sound. Jimmy Page (from Led Zeppelin) also plays a double-necked guitar. It is so that musicians can switch between 2 different guitars without having to take it off and on.
When I was a kid in the 80's, the rumor was this song was about Anton LaVey's House of Satan. I don't believe that, and have always loved this song, Since you're doing old song reviews, would Love to see you react to Jim Croce *You Don't Mess Around With Jim* or *Bad, Bad Leroy Brown*, I think you would love either one of those songs. Love your reaction to the Eagles!
Some think this song is a metaphor about the mental institutions in California and elsewhere during the 60s, many of the patients were getting aggressive experimental treatments and locked away for years. Check out the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” All those hospitals were closed in the early 80s, contributing to the flood of mentally ill homeless we now see on the streets.
React to Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood at the el mocambo, as you say he should have horns cause he’s the best guitarist of all time. As per usual top reactions, keep it up🔥
Nobody knows the real meaning of the song, but your idea that the State of California is like a hotel because everyone wants to go there, is an interesting one. Nice one!
LMFAO!!!! hahahaha...lol.....hahahaha...You are right bro....We ARE Nice...hahaha....I have heard that saying for years from East Coast people that Californians are so nice!!! And we are to a FAULT Bro!!!
***LAS VEGAS SPHERE*** They did a concert there a few months ago and here is the link to Hotel California epic performance with the sphere special effects but the whole concert is on YT, I just found it, I'll be doing that in VR. :)

He’s looking at him intensely because the two guitars are harmonizing…it’s beautiful 😊
Absolutely beautiful ❤
I was screaming at the TV, " Do you not realize the talent, energy, everything needed to perform at this level" 😮
the double neck guitar has 12 strings on the top for a fuller sounding rhythm. the bottom is a regular 6 string for lead/solos.
Glen Frey was playing an acoustic 12-string. Maybe why Don Felder never played the 12-string neck. The guitar was a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck.
@@StevenCosta-tp2sw Watch closer, Felder plays the 12 string on the beginning of the verses and then half way through the verses, he switched to the 6 string bottom part. The chorus and the guitar duet is played on the 6 string.
"you can check out any time you like - but you can never leave" hits really hard
I remember laying in bed at night listening to the radio when I was a kid, and this song used to scare me. 😄
This song is probably in everyone's top 5 of all time. This is a group of lead singers. So talented, all of them.
There is so much talent in this band. Every one of them are A list .

They are definitely in the top 3 best live bands I've ever seen and I have seen 127 different bands live. Tickets were pricey but absolutely worth it plus some.
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG THE GUITARIST PLAYS THE TOP PART OF THE GUITAR. THE TOP GUITAR IS SET UP FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF SOUND.
What Walsh and Felder are doing is a guitar harmony. It's not two guitars playing the same thing, it's two guitars playing different parts that harmonize together. You can see they're playing in different positions on the neck.
Just in case anyone wants to know.
What I appreciate the most about you is that I know you’re not gonna lie to me. 😊
2 of the best guitarists in the business. They feed off each other.

To the best of my knowledge the Tiffany reference is about the jeweler, not the name.
It is a wealth reference as well as the Mercedes Benz part.

The guitar ending is also considered one of the most "iconic guitar riffs" of Rock-N-Roll.
You'll never hear any better than the Eagles!! Their Icons!!❤❤❤
The 70's was the golden age of rock. So glad I grew up with such talented bands whose music still hits hard today. And yes, they all had bars before rap was a thing.

If you're wondering, this song is about how toxic the Hollywood/California celebrity life is.
One of these nights by the Eagles
It is insane to me that you never heard this. It tells me how much of an old dude I am.
Right? 2 years before his PARENTS were born?!? Bro, I was a senior in high school lol. Damn I'm old!
Eagles are the chit from the 70z when music has spirit
🌸 one of my favorite Eagles songs is " I can't Tell you why"
I remember when this song first came out. I bought the 8 track Bro. The Eagles were da bomb dude!!!
MD was Maryland 20 miles north Washington DC I have been there
Cannot go wrong with The Eagles❤
They are all in their 70's and they are still touring. Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner have passed away. They have a residency at The Sphere in Vegas.
🎸 That's your boy Joe Walsh wailing on that guitar‼️
🤯 Kezzyboii, you should do a reaction to that entire Hotel California album‼️Any Eagles album‼️☮️❤️🎶
all time classic! ♥ The song is bout drug addiction

Hi there, I love all the rock videos that you’ve been checking out and if you like this song, you should check out their greatest hits. Most of their songs are pretty much like soft rock, but they are all great songs.
The great Joe Walsh!
You should hear Slash plays his guitar from guns and roses, patience, November's rain just a few, you should do a live review on both of these songs, if you like great guitar, seriously you'll be amazed
"Hotel California" is a meta fore for a place that caters to addicts. That passage where he sings "in the masters chambers they gather for the feast, they stab it with their steeling knives (needles) but they just can't kill the beast" and "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave ' means that you can 'check out' (die) but you can never leave the Hotel California because of the addiction(s) and the hold it has over you body and soul. He's singing about a fictional place but I'm sure such places did and do exist sadly.
The double-necked guitar has a 6-string on the bottom, and a 12-string on top. A 12-string guitar has two strings per note, so it has a much fuller sound. Jimmy Page (from Led Zeppelin) also plays a double-necked guitar. It is so that musicians can switch between 2 different guitars without having to take it off and on.

Joe Walsh can play with anybody ,way underated in the guitar department.and funny .
They are all lead singers on different songs and they are all great.
"Hotel california" is loose terminology for the Bevery Hills hotel.. Which happens to be the hotel on the cover of this album. 😊
Hotel California = California lifestyle
When I was a kid in the 80's, the rumor was this song was about Anton LaVey's House of Satan. I don't believe that, and have always loved this song, Since you're doing old song reviews, would Love to see you react to Jim Croce *You Don't Mess Around With Jim* or *Bad, Bad Leroy Brown*, I think you would love either one of those songs. Love your reaction to the Eagles!
What the song has made me think it's about since it was released is Purgatory. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave...
Back in the day every member of the band was important to the music and the sound.
Head out to Las Vegas and watch them live in the Sphere, it will be one of the best classic rock concerts you will witness.
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE is another banger, check it out😊
Henley, Frey and Joe Walsh all put out solo albums!❤
Some think this song is a metaphor about the mental institutions in California and elsewhere during the 60s, many of the patients were getting aggressive experimental treatments and locked away for years. Check out the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” All those hospitals were closed in the early 80s, contributing to the flood of mentally ill homeless we now see on the streets.
React to Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood at the el mocambo, as you say he should have horns cause he’s the best guitarist of all time. As per usual top reactions, keep it up🔥
Don Henley is singing lead in this song but they all sing. Henley sings the lead the most, he is my favorite Eagle. They are all so talented!
Don Henley is from the eagles and he done a solo smuggler blues
Just sub, Jersey baby Jersey. Love your reactions keep them coming brother
Nobody knows the real meaning of the song, but your idea that the State of California is like a hotel because everyone wants to go there, is an interesting one. Nice one!
LMFAO!!!! hahahaha...lol.....hahahaha...You are right bro....We ARE Nice...hahaha....I have heard that saying for years from East Coast people that Californians are so nice!!! And we are to a FAULT Bro!!!
***LAS VEGAS SPHERE*** They did a concert there a few months ago and here is the link to Hotel California epic performance with the sphere special effects but the whole concert is on YT, I just found it, I'll be doing that in VR. :)
Its about coming to California in the 70s and getting drawn into the music business.
