Thanks, it's Don Felder who reminds me of Taylor then. Or he other way around of course.
They are real and great players for sure, don't know if they are real pioneers guitarists. We could call them rock-blues hybrid pioneers though, but when you listen to early 5-tees BB King recordings or early 6-tees Benson for example, all the ingredients are there already, albeit more primitive amped etc.
Talk about your favorite band.

I hate Hotel California. The Eagles are so damn boring. Maybe not as boring as Jackson Brown or James Taylor, but I think you know what I mean. The Eagles, Brown and Taylor sharing the same stage, oh my God, this must be really hell.

OMG, there is such a love hate relationship among the IORR folks with this song considering the ongoingness of this thread. Somebody, anybody, please send us help.

DoomandGloomactually Don Felder the song's composer plays 90% of the leads on this. There is a lot of talent in the Eagles arsenal.Quote

I am a fan of the Eagles but I do not hear anything that resembles Stones-like sound with the Eagles. Solo like Taylor? Not to be critical but I do not see that either.
The melodic approach, timing, the bluesy feel and fluidity coming from Joe Walsh (?) definitely has a Taylorish feel to me. Or the other way around.

Felder uses a Les Paul like MT. He may have dipped into some similar modes, it's a fair comparison with for instance with TWFNO harmonicly. My educated guess is Taylor improvised his solos and he and the producer compiled the best bits for the final versions. Hotel Caliellfornia is more worked out like Freebird, the solo is learned and perfected, recorded in sections and then compiled. One way is not superior to the other and guitarists may sometimes do both on the same song. Taylor however left much to chance and was best in his early takes according to Keith. Don Felder could certainly keep up Walsh and Taylor. We are talking about pioneer guitarists, they are real players, versitle and have great experience as well as confidence.

I've come to the conclusion that if people think they need to confirm their "street cred", they say the hate the Eagles and Hotel California. It IS possible to enjoy the Eagles AND this song AND still like the Stones. For heaven's sake, there's no need to be so exclusionary.
Not everything the Eagles did was great or even good. You can certainly say that about the Stones. Some of you are forgetting the Stones fancy themselves country rockers from tme to time as well.

There was a dorky looking girl with thick glasses in my 7th grade class who used to sing and play this on guitar when it came out.
Every time I hear the song since then, it's impossible to disassociate that memory of the dorky girl.
Music can take you back, but sometimes not to the best places.lol
It is a decent tune though, just completely overplayed on most classic rock stations.
