This vid represents the hay-day of the Eagles.  I have this album...it's one of the best albums in my collection ( I have literally hundreds), and even now it's one of my favorites.  I regularly cycle it in my car CD changer...

*prepares for old school comments*

Great song...in fact, one of the greatest ever written really.

One of my favorites of all time. Don Henley/Joe Walsh are legends.

You didn't even add in Life's Been Good? Wtfm80.



That second video is also a blatant lie, JAMES GANG IS THE PROPER BAND TITLE TBH.

This is the song to put on as ya doing ya make up before you go out pulling women on the weekend.  Just perfect as you splash the 'Old Spice' on.  I love this song but only the Eagles versions, not Bob Marley's version and I loves Bob I do.

Pft.. If the lyrics weren't there, you wouldn't think it was a satanic message..

I love the Eagles.  One of the greatest bands of all time.  I saw them when they were touring with the Hell Freezes Over tour.  Was absolutely awesome.

For me the song is over played. They have great harmonies. It sounds good as a solo piece on a twelve string but I prefer the bass line.

There are a lot of musicians on this site, perhaps we should have a contest, post videos of ourselves playing the song on an instrument, solo and let the mob vote on it.

btw, here is the real Hotel California.

I don't know the exact story but there were a lot of New Age cults in the Joshua Tree and surrounding areas. I wouldn't doubt that the story has its roots in freaky deaky hippy shit that may have happened there, at the Hotel before it was burned. This is a cult compound that exists today.

The Eagles have so many better songs, this one sucks balls and is over played/hyped.

According to Snopes, non of the band had never been to the real Hotel California.

And Don Henely didn't get caught with a coked out 16 year old girl in his room, I'll bet.
