  • a piece of heaven on earth!

  • Me late me late la rola .............hotel kaliforniia

  • haha im sure this falls under the "fair use" for educational purposes. so this song wont b torn down! :)

  • 132 fucktards stabbed at the steely dislike button but they just can't slay this beast of a song. Fuck you haters.

  • Love this song and the facts in it are intresting to greAt job

  • classy and lovely!!

    

  • I loved this song for years... But can someone explain to me the meaning?

  • 132 ppl are stuck outside the hotel

  • Nice Musci , EAGLES FTW!  <3!

  • Hotel california...

  • One of the best songs on earth today and forever ;)

  • You forgot to mention that the solo starts exactly 4:20 into the song.

  • Oh my god. This song is the most magical song ever in the history of music. It is f****** sensational

  • Mozart and Beethoven had no lyrics at the time they wrote there symphonies and yet they were considered at the time subversive and obscene y the society they lived in

  • music, art and literature are very powerful forces for political and social change and they have been so for centuries. They can pull down gov'ts and change social norms. I am not familiar with Buddhism and the traditional music that accompanies it but I am sure that there are forms of music and sounds that would offend traditional Buddhist musicians and those that support those traditions

  • I'm 14 and I'm loving it here

  • This is the Eables not the Beatles

  • @MyDwilkinson Eagles

  • @MyDwilkinson I knew x,DDDD just said becouse i was feeling to say. i love beatles and i didn't claim this is beatles :D:D:D::D::D man try to understand

  • i'm 16 and i love beatles

  • @passiize1 fail

  • I'm 18 years old and can't get enough of this music!

  • 130 people can't kill the beast

  • i always thought they were talking about prison or a mental hospital whether it was physical or an imprisonment of the mind.

  • I really liked the vidio plz make more they have very interesting facts in it

  • watch?v=qRhxLyA30gs&feature=re­lated

  • very nice. I have talked with a lot of evangelical christians who are adamant this song is about hell and the eagles are devil worshippers and belong to the church of satan. I looked many places but could not find any evidence this is true. wikipedia gives the same account don henley gives in your facts. I suppose this song is the evangelical deterrent against rock music but this was way back when the song came out. One would think they'd find a more up to date deterrent.

  • @Joekabuck what music has in relation with religion?.... my grandma worship, i believe, some old kind chinese deities, my dad's family is Buddhism, and I find it interesting reading the bible even though I aint christian.... thinking too much about lyrics make no sense.

  • @oshenwolf I believe it's about rehab, think about it, "this could be heaven or hell" rehab is usually nicely furnished and almost like a vacation but inside you are suffering through hell, "they stabbed at it with there stelely knives..." they relapse "last thing I remember I was running for the door" they get kicked out of rehab, "the place I was before" addicted again , " you can check out but you can never leave" you lose a part of yourself through addiction.

  • Good♥

  • La mejor canción que he escuchado en toda mi vida.

  • this song is about the best riff eva, could go on and n for eva without boring you

  • Amazing....

  • Best song ever !! Makes me shiver :)

  • 2 words can describe this song: PURE ROCK!

  • Gutar Hero

  • 124 TONE DEAF OAFS

  • @jambudweep thumbs up to that!

  • this song is about a prison listen to the words

  • hi.. the ? is answered revelation 3 :20 ( it's about a person in to my brain . )

  • @PIERREALEUFRAY ( it's about a person entering to my brain .amen )

  • I believe this song was about either cocaine or the addiction to it. they stab it with their steely knives *razor blades* killing the beast the (addiction or high or even the coming down from it) partying in the summer you can check out but never leave sounds like an addiction. i feel like this would be the general consensus and since most songs are about drugs or the addiction to it, RHCP,Sublime,alice in chains, nirvana, johnny cash, rick james, and due to the time this song came out and area.

  • i wish i can play the guitar like this...

  • no comment.perfect song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love from cosiradio ( Greece).

  • Ok here`s the true...doest matter if the eagles has a pact with devil the real thing is theis guys can play and sing like anybody else do... they simple amazing

  • The only reason that force me learn how to play guitar.

  • I have the honor to say I've seen the Eagles live, this is the last song they played it sounded so damn amazing.

  • I'm only 16 and I think this has to be my favorite band ever.

  • i think its cojitas...;) weed in mexican :D

  • Dad: Hey son, why your room sound so loud?

    Me: I'm listening this song.

  • I've listend to it for houndred times. It's great.

  • Great song with lots of memories. Love the "pop up video" format you did. Thanks.

  • *L*I*K*E*

    

  • What an amazing video you've done, Patriots for the cause. Now Henley was the genius, But the meaning of this song has ALLWAYS been this crazy montage of images,,,,,,,trying to ignore the parts speaking of beasts......Has to be ALOT goin' on in the mind of the man who wrote this. I'm in on the search,,,,,,,,and, I did live during the glory days of this band, and saw this in a leg of this Hotel California tour: so It was something hard to explain, hearing that song. Yeah,,,what DOES it mean...

  • hey man i am playing the lead to that song and it is still a classic lol !!!!!

  • <3 long live this song!

  • is there not even a single official video for this song...?

  • Eafles

  • William Hung should have NO BUISNESS singin this song... He should keep to gay songs such as she bangs

  • For some reason, I always thought it was a reference to Purgetory. lol. go figure.

  • Joe Walsh is the perfect guitarist in my mind. He knows how to play inside his box, just keeping the notes solid. He also knows when to bust out of the box and rip an amazing solo. I love this whole band, amazing.

  • wasn't this video temporarily removed from youtube for copyright?

  • @mastersword791 I thought it was until I found the video again right about now. The copyright disclaimer in the video description says that it was made for fair use which should save it from getting removed.

  • And me too

  • My parents like the song

  • This is beyond awesome!

  • Cool song

  • I still have the 45 of this somewhere. Love at first listen (which was a long time ago now, and I was indeed very young)

  • Nice to see all this fact. Thanx . well job done - Nick Gedvilas.

  • süper parca

  • New tech fails on old tech

  • Fucking 3g i fucking hate you

  • To me this is classic American Rock. OK I was only two when the Eagles sang or released this so to me it is classic. This one shall hang in I imagine long after I am gone.

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG...came out when i was 16 years old. i personally always believed this song was a music interpretation of the edgar allen poe story...house of usher. was probablly smokin a little too much um hum.

  • very nice video.....i sale " THE EAGLES" framed singed poster(s) 18"x24"

    100% authentic...for more information email me: RonsMemorabilias @ yahoo.com

    other artist(s) also available

  • I was (with a lot of other people, I read in the reactions) grown up with this song... it stays beautiful

  • Thx dad...

  • Amazing song like this will stand through the ages...

  • my best song :)

  • If I have to choose one song to which I will listen for the rest of my life, I'll choose this one

  • BAD ASS SONG!!!!!RELAXING AND GOOD \m/

  • I just love this song I listen to it everyday

  • WHAT CAn I say ,to the people in the world who really loves music and those 60s 70s rock in special....... this magic touch the SOUL till the inner part of it..many memories isn´t it??

  • Immortal beloved<3

  • <3

  • I taught that song was about cannibals... like, thats why you never get back from there and it would explain the "getting around the feast" part and running for the door part.

  • 3:04

  • Comment removed

  • can someone give me the link for the live unplugged please ....

  • The Eagles - never better - always the best

  • especialmente, para mi amor ,( F).... donde quiera que te encuentres,,

  • especialmente, para mi amor ,( F).... donde quiera que te encuentres

  • Iwas sent to a phyco ward the year this song came out. All the patients there smiled at me and said that this song was about any phyc. ward in america. It all made sense but the head nurse who did nor ant us to masturbatesaid" this is all in your head you are delsional and paranoid". You bet I wanted out but like the song says ." you can enter anytime but you can never leave: !!!

  • I always thought it was about drugs. California has always been famous for marijuana, and it explains shimmering lights and bad vision. Can't kill the beast could be a reference to beating the addiction with this theory, and checking out anytime you like but never being able to leave would refer to drug rehab.

  • I just heard this song on the radio last saturday, it really made my day.

  • @KWACKnockedShrimp Wow not too many stations around my area hav good stuff anymore.Its all that rap and hip hop crap

  • @TheOrnageJuice Yeah dude, same here, you just have to find the right one, I just listened to my local classic rock station, but since everyone is always listening to that hip hop crap it does seem like its the only thing on anymore.

  • @KWACKnockedShrimp i know there is one good station in my area but they stick to led zeplin,def leopard, and those other one. not saying theyre bad but ive never heard this song on their.

  • For some reason, the Eagles kinda remind me of The Beatles by how they right there music...idk about you guys but yea......

  • i thought it was about dying 'Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light', ' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way' 'Some dance to remember, some dance to forget' 'And still those voices are calling from far away' 'You can check out any time you like,

    but you can never leave'

  • I heard this song every evening in June 1977 on ibiza - a lovely place... lovely memories

  • best song ever

  • I did a biography on them. Go Eagles

  • well i know theres at least 108 that is to stupid to read. or they had to hit the wrong button....jr

  • who the fuck were those 108 motherfuckers who disliked this i mean c'mon if you dont like real music go and listen to justin fucking bieber or that crappy music

  • @QCHINGA2PASA i guess they never made it out of the hotel

  • a lot good.
