ONE OF THE BEST TO DO IT TOO!!!😘👋😉🌟✨🎶🎵🎼✌✌✌✌

@A Wow.....I never considered that and I can totally hear it now! I could totally see him fitting in well in this song.

How do you love music and not know Bob Marley.

Reggae was a DANCE. The music was called Steppas/Bluebeat and Rockers music. Just sayin

Except Joe Walsh 😂😂

@@tpk2195 Even Joe Walsh... in his own very odd style.

@@avanoosterhout8397 I have to agree.

Yeah, it's really nice when a band can really let everybody sing. Bon Jovi is another one, although most wouldn't know about David Bryan or Tico singing much. Especially Tico.

...also dethklok

Right, I am enjoying watching the younger generation reacting to our music that we enjoyed! I get the biggest kick when they realize real artists!

Long life sir

It's great how music can bring generations together. I love music!

I’m right there with you. 67 and still a rocker!!

I'm a bit in between here, 40 y.o. But I love that we're all here talkin about great music. Ya'll are great. Best wishes from Australia

I don’t like rap to were they are just talking about how rich they are and how many girls they have. Also to were they are just screaming (69 lol). The eagles are real music bro

To be fair I respect your opinions and that’s what’s nice about opinions they can’t be wrong. But a lot of things that are not on the radio/unless in the past couple of years radio did a 180° turn which I doubt. most things on there aren’t for people that like music in my opinion. Does not mean it a drum machine takes no talent and it’s not an instrument I mean who is the boss of what’s instrument, Anyways I feel like I’ve had this conversation too many times with my uncle! A good melody is a good melody some guys will play an MPC live it’s a whole thing. not necessarily to be pooh-poohed because it’s newer and people get mad when all songs become a Black Eyed Peas jingle every other song is a remake of a classic. Some I really talented piano players say as an example!… Yet they make beats on MPC‘s or am MIDI keyboards and drum machines! I don’t see how because some are corny and annoying and you sometimes for a work situation or what not, have to hear the same songs all day long does not; make it some kind of lesser instrument or genre. But like I said it’s my opinion and my change in the future, I doubt this one will I keep an open mind though ..just my two cents! Speak of the devil! No pun intended my uncle used to play this song! Still he’s my godfather and I love him but he would get annoying when he would say things like what was real and what was not as if it wasn’t his opinion. like, a universal fact consensus from the board of musical referees..

Truth! I love listening to bands where the vocals and musicianship just shines. Like the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I love their harmonies.

That’s music too, but mostly rap consists of emotion just like these do, they came from a struggle and talk about how goo they have it now, I respect your opinion though

@Antonio Iniguez read the comment above, rap wasn’t supposed to be for flexing, a lot of it conveys emotion and expression, anyone who knows and respects music and its history knows what music is

He was that Jamaican lad that sang with the Wailers wasn't he...?

I hardcore LOL's when he said that. I am an unrepentant metal head, and even I know who Bob Marley is.

@@RLKmedic0315 Lol

@@RLKmedic0315 We all know Bob Marley. Lol. They're young.

I know... At least JoJo is learning .and enjoying the amazing TALENT of 60s 70s and 80s.. Great great music!!💪

I go to the same college as Don Henley.

Levon

I mean doesn't phil collins do the same but phil sux

@@funboyboyfun5673 listen to Genesis' "A Trick of the Tail" album Phil Collins' first album as lead vocalist and yes, he was still the drummer. Might change your opinion

Don Henley was always my favorite Eagles singer. I got to see them live in the farewell tour a couple years back with Jimmy Buffet. Very different vibes from the parrot heads compared to when the Eagles came on lmao

It’s so unfair to consider that an album.

Tell that to the industry, they’re the ones who set the parameters for the assessment

Such a good album!

I thought it was Thriller, Back in Black and Dark Side of The Moon

And it did it even without Hotel California!

Brings back great memories drove around Australia with this cassette only lol

77

@@sarahschatzrussellrealty688 I still have the vinyl album. Says 1976 Right on the back. Google it.

@@stevetanner3019 I was sure it was 77 the year I was born. My favorite band. I have the album also as soon as I get it from dad along with all his Beatles albums LOL.

@@sarahschatzrussellrealty688 LOL. We’re both right actually. The album came out in December ‘76, along with the first single “New Kid In Town”. “Hotel California” was released as the second single from the album in February ‘77.

Don Felder you mean

My bad. lol

Felder and Walsh are my favorite guitar duo of all time. 🎸

@@SuperStrik9 Don Felder and Randy Meisner both had very acrimonious splits from the group a few years after Hotel California, which was a shame as they were both hugely talented. The night Felder left the group he and Don Henley almost came to blows onstage during a live performance, hurling profanities at each other, things had gotten that bad between them. He walked out right after that concert ended.

They never broke up, they just took a 14 year vacation ;)

And the "Hell Freezes Over" thing was mid 90's so nearly 30 years.

Omg, so funny..hahahaha Hell freezes over 🤣 😂 😆

Hey,kid it seems like you're just discovering what we called ROCK N ROLL.Instead of a rap crap.I know it's in your generation but your music rap is a crap music.God Bless America.

@@marieboyd521 as a died in the wool rocker thats harsh, but at the same time it seems much of radio and tv music media and especially shows love/embrace rap so it becomes more influential but rock also got bastardised in the same way. I do think nothing beats a group of musicians that can craft a great song with appropriate lyrics with their own internal musical chemistry and talent unlike much of chart topping music

@@davymania700 I love rap and rock, I agree and miss the guitar solos you so rarely hear anymore and her comment was definitely harsh. Music is for mood, we can all love a song or songs from every genre without being put in a box, wasn’t that exactly what rock taught us? Rap is just the new rock, in as much as an angry generation saying what they think. Nothing that comes close to pink Floyd but still the idea is the same, “be different, stand up and tell it like it is.”

@@kyliebaby1391 @Kylie Baby Yes. It really felt like circa later 90s early 2000s the guitar solo was getting phased out to make heavy rock have more mainstream appeal. Didn't agree with it myself. Like yourself I decide what I listen and like, always have always will. I have written a dissertation on the subject. DrDre and later Eminem (even at the starting times of nu-metal) was already gaining appreciation amongst sectors of the rock audience . Aerosmith ,Def Leppard and even Queen prior to that (we will rock you ) in mainstream had toyed with it. Rage Against the Machine were one who melded them to perfection in my opinion before nu metal. I totally agree with you on the pigeon holing. I loved my melodic rock , but then I like acts a million miles from that too...if I like it, I like it. In my mind Eminem in a stylistic sense at times was doing what Alice Cooper had done on stage and in a self effacing fashion whilst upsetting some conservatism parenting

@@davymania700 wow that was such a great reply I can’t add to it. Again I agree with you. I’m not a massive fan of heavy rock but there are some songs I’ll happily listen to. I think jojo is doing such a great job bringing music from previous generations to new generations and the way he interprets it 9/10 is pretty close to how the artist meant it. I bet your dissertation was really interesting. I have to say the linkin park, my chemical romance, soad, etc era was great for rock music but on reflection you’re absolutely right that’s also the time the solos were being phased out. I’d hadn’t even realised. It’s great to get an interesting intelligent reply. Thank you.

Yep yep, saw them in Denver that year. 😎

the hotel california album was released in 1976 when i was stationed in germany. even bought the album there then. the live version (this one) was done in the 90's.

Love felder

They did Don Felder wrong.

He did heavy metal

His harmony with Timothy Don and Joe was the best.

It'a too bad glen and don were such a pain in the ass. Don henley to this day is an A-Hole. The reason thia video is missing. He's got over 50 people working 24/7 to block content.

WELL SAID

To NoTraceOfSense, where can I find that version of the song? I'd love to hear it. Love from Amanda in Australia

I watched that on VH1 when they first aired it with my late dad, and when it came out on DVD, I bought it for him. When he passed, I inherited it back and I still watch it and think of him.

@@amandajones6481 I'm not sure if they have it here on youtube, maybe it's in a reaction video.

@@waynefinnicumbb7218 It’s on here, “hotel california mtv 1994” And you and I are in the same boat, I guess. My dad had the CD for Hell Freezes Over, he used to play it all the time. Man, how I miss him.

@@NoTraceOfSense I bought him the cd about a year before he passed away because he got a cd player in his car and wanted it. Was so glad I found it for him and he was able to enjoy it.

Basically anything they did. You really can't go wrong - every single one is a classic.

"Already Gone"...absolutely masterful! "Take it to the Limit" is just genius and Randy Meisner on lead vocals sings it better than anyone else. "The Long Run" album could easily be a greatest hits album.

Best of my love. One of these night.

I wonder what it would be like to only discover rock music as an adult. I’m proud that I was raised on it, molded in it, etc., from my early childhood, and I’m glad that I have that foundation that I believe has shaped so much of who I am, but I do wonder if it might be more exciting to be able to discover it for the first time when you’re old enough to form memories and really be struck by the energy in it.

Ik it's pls but I actually found the song 2 years ago, I was desperate for the bathroom and we were 2 hours from home and this was playinbkn the radio lol, still my favourite song

I'll second this.

The second highest album sales of all time is EAGLES GREATEST HITS, beaten only by MICHAEL JACKSON’s THRILLER. By a lot but still the second highest selling album. Also the most talented band. Every member had a successful solo album

Absolutely! Hotel California is one of the greatest rock albums in existence. No fillers, no BS. It's kinda like Pet Sounds... Just pure bliss from start to finish.

@@billymanthei8505 Actually, it's now surpassed Thriller, making the '76 Greatest Hits album the top selling of all time. Not far behind is Back in Black.

If you’re even a lightweight music fan, the Eagles greatest hits 1 and 2 are essential albums to have! Along with Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, AC/DC’s Back In Black, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Rage Against the Machine’s Evil Empire, Star Wars original score soundtrack, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Metallica’s Master of Puppets, LOTS of good music out there

We did too the 80s. We kept your songs going.

We were so fortunate, we had an abundance of talent and diversity in music... There’s nothing out there like it today.

I am a boomer. I didn't realize just how great the music was until I started watching these reaction videos. This is one of favorite songs. I love that he enjoyed it soooo much. He has good taste. The soundtrack of my life.

@@aliciasaracino1233 Eagles were and are amazing but a little unfair to say that there is nothing out there now

You are so right, my first experience at a rock concert was Rush, blew my mind , i was 15

i have it tattooed on my wrist, its my philosophy of life

I have it tattooed on my forearm! It carries deep meaning.

That was painted over the "Lifers" section in Longbay gaol.

I remember singing along to it in the car with my parents when I was a pre-pubescent child (just barely, though, because memories that early are so fuzzy), and having a great time playing it on _Guitar Hero_ later as well.

If he thinks that was furious, wait till he hears metal lol.

💯

Seven Bridges Road still gives me chills to this day.

Journey ... more great songs :D

IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE BOB MARLEY, THIS SOUNDS LIKE REGGAE WITH GUITARS NOT ROCK.

Literally never heard anyone get that long twang sound out of a guitar at the end of each line before this song. It's amazingly perfect

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 absolutely

Do you watch Wilburn Reactions too?

I watched this guys in their concert, all age late sixties except for Deacon Frey, and they still play guitars like masters...fingers flying on those chords - just fantastic!

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 No never have, good? I'll give it a look.

7 Bridges Road......right down the street from my house! It is an ode to Woodley Road, a rural two-lane road which runs south off East Fairview Avenue - the southern boundary of the Cloverdale neighborhood of Montgomery, Alabama - at Cloverdale Road, and which features seven bridges: three pairs of bridges, and the seventh approximately 1 mile south by itself. The song's composer Steve Young, would recall he and his friends (Steve Young quote:) "used to go out to Woodley Road carousing around". "I wound up writing this song that I never dreamed anybody would even relate to, or understand, or get. And I still don't understand why it was so successful, actually". "I don't know [exactly] what [the] song means", "Consciously... I [just] wrote...a song about a girl and a road in south Alabama", "But I think on another level the song has something kind of cosmic...Steve Young never met the Eagles, but loves the money they made him!

I like the Eagles, but there are many better bands than than them.

@@chasingbirds3073 There are MANY Bands....but NONE Better!!

@@tacbear Led Zeppelin. Way better.

@@robertemerson1087 Love Zeppelin...but I don't think they are better...How many Zeppelin members had solo careers and hit POP, ROCK and Country songs???

When my son was 8 years old he loved the Eagles and still does. We watched a reunion concert on tv and when he came into the room they where burning it up, he stopped and stared at the tv in disbelief, turned and looked at me and said, "Their all Granddaddy's age". Still to this day we laughed so hard we can't remember the name of the song they were playing.

I'm 36 love the eagles

Glad to see the younger generation appreciate masterful music!

First rock and roll song I ever heard was in Bad Aibling, West Germany. House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. I remember our German landlady's son playing it over and over and over.

I dont know how you know that (probably as a general demograph of their audience I guess that is true) im in my 40's but they made some great music in recent times too and sadly seemed ignored rather than celebrated by the media. Once upon a time that wasnt the case. Doesnt sit well with me at all

Love that song. That a great shout. I got riled when he said this was made in 1997.. sheesh this song came out 21 yrs before that.. I cant believe that now. I missed my best chance to see the group some yrs ago sadly and in my head Don henley should be 40. But argh things like this indicate my constant denial that im getting old

And the guy jamming with him is Joe Walsh one of the most memorable dueling guitar jams ever,

@@catrissia in the documentary, Joe said that they were essentially battling to one up each other, in this case, the audience was the true winner

Absolute legends. I was raised on this and many other bands of the time. There isn't music like this now.

Glad you clarified it was Henley. For years I thought it was Bob Ross! LOL.

The only other drummer that sang was phill collins

Grant Hart - Hüsker Dü Karen Carpenter Ringo Starr Levon Helm Buddy Miles He was no where near the only singing drummer.

@@paulscott4958 Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish sang superbly when I saw them, while playing drums... standing up!

Mine is Desperado

You gotta check the song AND the video. One of my long time favorites.

Heartache Tonight is the song that turned me on to the Eagles, Still has a special place in my heart.

Jojo should definitely check out the song "I Can't Tell You Why" The only song that features bassist Timothy B. Schmidt on lead vocals

He has to listen to Desperado, by far my favorite Eagles song.

one of those nights! That intro...mmmm

Not a dry eye in the house...... I'd lie for you, and that's the truth.... Good day bro👍

You can *check out* anytime you want but you can never leave ; you can die or recover but it's always with you . Imo but yeah correct

It is about addiction, but not just to drugs. It's addiction to a lifestyle. It's no mistake that this is on the same album as "Life in the Fast Lane"...both songs hit the same concept from different angles. To be clear, that lifestyle can include drugs, but it's really about being so addicted to being hip and cool and on the cutting edge that you forget about why you want to be that way in the first place...until your whole life is, like the other song says, going to "all the right parties" and having "all the right friends". Go ahead and add in, "taking all the right drugs" as well. And, you know, "She got lots of pretty, pretty boys...that she calls friends". It's about having the pretty boys instead of having real friends...that whole trip.

@@ElJefe3126 Yeah, The Eagles themselves have said it was about the high life of LA. How all of them came to California and then got wrapped up into this fast lifestyle before you realize its really a trap. A loss of innocence.

Forgot Timothy B. Schmit and Bernie Leadon., who were part of the complete band of the Eagles., recording history. 📻 🎸🎶 🎧

Timeless! Perfect description!

@Zachary Hopkins and yet, we have a young man here listening to music that is new to him, with an open mind. This gives me hope for the future. PS. I'm jealous of you Zac, I've not seen them live, sadly.

@Zachary Hopkins Did it take you a lot of effort to write such a stupid comment, Zach? “kids today only know Rapp”? You think there aren’t kids out there who have more diverse music tastes than you did, who were raised on their parents’ favorite music and were molded in it in a way that you never could have been? There are “kids today” playing better rock music than you could ever imagine. And I’m willing to bet that you don’t even know Coven, because you only know what was spoon-fed to you, and that’s a shame.

All amazing I loooove them.

Don’t forget Desperado lol

Wasted time

Power to move ya is my favorite Ziggy song

Really enjoy the live acoustic version

Thought this is about a suicide hotel

I honestly thought it was about a cult

Inside one of the album covers Don i think? said its was about getting caught in the "lifestyle", drugs, clubs ect. " checkout any time you like but you can never leave". Can be extremely hard to leave the life even if you want to

I thought it was a story of him selling his soul for success in the music industry and him going to hell

@@daviddeis6613 Hollywood is a cult.

always reminds me of seinfeld

3:41 ....did anyone notice that he knew what the backup vocals were going to sing before they did? I think he's heard this song before, imho.

@@michaelfitzsimmons2796 i did kinda notice, but didnt wanna say anything, lol

In my top 50.

My favorite

I guess you’re too young to remember when you first heard this song, just like me. It’s sort of always just been ever-present, like the Hotel California is a real and familiar place to me :)

Awesome. I was also 15 in 1976, but wouldn’t see any live performances of any band until 1980 😆

Nov 3 thats my birthday. I was age 14 and sitting in the woodworking class with a cast on my broken leg listening to this song for the first time on the radio. It's like a where were you when a special event happened moment. Every time I hear this song that's what I think of.

I totally agree with every word you've written here

"King of Hollywood" from "The Long Run" is incredible and could easily have been written about Harvey Weinstein.

Truth

I see what you did there “ take it easy” now.

Haha! That made me laugh. You're right though
