Just because someone may or may not have been alive in the 60's and 70's doesn't mean they have some sort of special insight on the meaning of the song. It's a timeless masterpiece of art. You can ask 10 different people who were alive back then what the song means, and you'll get 10 different answers...a question which I notice that you were careful not to answer, but did take the opportunity to mock others for "not knowing"! You can't make that statement and then not disclose the meaning. Until you do give the "correct" meaning of the song, I'm going to assume you don't know EITHER!

Here is what the band said the meaning is behind the song: While there have been many theories that contemplate what the song represents, 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 America. “It’s basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about,” Henley said in a 2002 interview with "60 Minutes." In 2005, Henley further explained the meaning of the song to Rolling Stone magazine, which placed "Hotel California" at no. 49 on its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. “We were all middle class kids from the Midwest," Henley said. "'Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in L.A.”

@charlessarver83503 ай бұрын
Well Glen Frey's explanation was far simpler "We decided to create something strange just to see if we could do it. Any meaning it has is unintended rather than hidden." In other words just nonsense like some of the Beatles tunes. I kind of think Henley's version was just to give an answer to shut everyone up or at most that was the meaning he had behind it. But in the same interview with Frey he said "The atmosphere of a man in an unfamiliar rural setting, unsure about what he's witnessing, mimics - says Frey - the 1965 novel The Magus."

California was the center of the hippy movement... peace, freedom, sex, drugs. 1969 was the Woodstock festival and pinnacle of more socially relevant music... but by the time this song was released in 1977, the hopes of the baby boomer generation were disappearing. Instead, lives of excess were what they ended up striving for with greed for possessions, big homes, and cars. He's definitely feeling trapped in the current situation and wants to go back to the earlier hopes.

And, what a lot of people don't realize, the second half of the solo is a harmonized improvisation and not even the way it was recorded. That makes it even more epic; they changed it up while playing live. For one guitarist to do that is impressive enough, they had to synch up their playing to continue to harmonize, all while Don Felder set the stage for the improv... and Joe followed suit like it was nothing.

WIKIPEDIA The term "colitas" in the first stanza ("warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air") has been interpreted as a sexual slang or a reference to marijuana. "Colitas" means "little tails" in Spanish; in Mexican slang it refers the flowering buds of the cannabis plant.

No they didn't start as her back up band.. It just never happened. And no Eagle was ever in The Stone Poneys, or a member of Ronstats band. She introduced them around the Troubadour during the era when most all the stars and rising stars played and hung out there, sat in on each other's sets on stage, partied, went to each other's houses. They were known before they ever became a group.

Don Felder (double guitar) wrote the music to this. Don Henley had a tape of the chord progression playing over and over on his car deck. He left the Whiskey A go-go one night, drunk, and drove to Needles CA to find some peyote. On the way there, he wrote these lyrics. Passing by lots of Teddy bear cholla, and lonely desert hotels, he came up with a story about someone losing their innocence. Going from adolescence to adulthood, and knowing once you do, you cannot go back. The Eagles have MANY LEAD SINGERS, depending on the song. Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner (their biggest hit Take it to the limit) or Timothy Smith, and Joe Walsh all sing lead on songs that have hit it big. Like the Beatles, if you cannot sing or write, you are not good enough for the group. Ringo Starr, Roger Taylor (Queen), Phil Collins, and Levon Helm (The Band) all were singing drummers.

She lit up a candle because she didn't want him to see what he was walking into. The voices are temptations from the entertainment industry. You can check out anytime you want but you can never leave means that you can kill yourself but you can't get away from them. Don understood this at the time. That's why he is so protective of his art.

I am 61 yrs old. You young ones need to remember what time in society this was. All of us were told told that smoking pot would make you jump Off a building from tripping and this generation decided that guys could have long hair and girls could have short hair and once we discovered that smoking pot didn’t make you crazy it was a place that you could “check out of, but never leave “. This was TRULY the greatest time to grow up in.

The drummer in this song is Don Henley. Most of the time he is standing at the microphone singing. Sometimes he plays the drums while singing. Henley, Randy Meisner (RIP- on the far left of the stage), Glenn Frey (RIP- next to Meisner) are mostly the lead singers. When Meisner left the group then Timothy B Schmit took over and sang lead vocals in many songs. Joe Walsh and Don Felder are the two dynamite guitar players in the band.
