Hotel California (The Eagles) By Eamon and Avalon


Hi guys, here is our cover of Hotel California by The Eagles.
This is one of my favourite tracks of all time, Kenny took the job of Don Henley (Vocals) and Joe Walsh (Lead Guitar), i took on Don Felder's parts (Lead Guitar).
Kenny did a superb job, and its a pleasure working with you as always mate
Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did making it

Gr8 song...gr8 post!!!! This is a song that I've been meaning to cover for a long time!! But, it's got soooo many layered guitars and harmonies that I never got ambitious enuff to tackle it!! So, kudos to you two for taming this beast!! And ditto on the vocals, Kenny!!

I put this as one of the best posts I've heard, and that says alot. Two of my favorite groups live are the Eagles and Journey because live are exactly faithful to the original recording. You guys did exactly that here too. Man the guitars were right on Kenny you covered this perfectly.

I too have wanted to try a crack at this tune. Perhaps one day way down the line. You guys did great!! The layers are amazing!! All the guitar tones sound very much on the mark!! The vocals and harmonies are really great!!
Very well done!! 5's!

hey thanks a lot for the nice comments. i love this song and always wanted to do it too so when jamie suggested it i jumped on the chance to do it. plus i don't think jamie gets enough credit for all the work he does and for all the backers he made for us to use. i think he shows what a talented guitar player he is on this song too. jamie it was a great pleasure working with you and this was so much fun putting this together. thanks everybody for listening. we appreciate it.
