Hotel California is a song written by American group The Eagles in 1977. Integrated into the disk with the same name as the song. It is one of the most famous songs of the band so always play it at concerts. The original recording of the song is characterized having finished with a guitar solo played by Don Felder and Joe Walsh . In the same year of its release reached the top blankets in Billboard Hot 100 besides winning the gold disc for selling over 1,000,000 copies. It is one of the top 500 songs according to Rolling Stone and the solo guitar that appear to the end is considered one of 100 best solos by Guitar World magazine.
The song used to say that California as a metaphor for a dark and surreal world of dissipation; comments on the ephemeral nature of success and the attraction of excess. The Hotel California, also was a place where people, once entered, could not go, in the style of The Exterminating Angel, Luis Buñuel that movie, and the sordid drama of the lyrics at times also recalls another liteteratura dark hotel and celluloid, the Stephen King imagined for his novel The Shining, filmed by Stanley Kubrick in this memorable film that we knew as "The Shining. However I love ¡¡¡¡.
After the unfortunate Gipsy Kings destroyed it with a free version, I want to be free.
