Why is it in hotel California a song with so much feel, how the hell do you get a random guitar solo then bass tapping then bass slapping then a guitar bass slapping jam then go back to the main solo, it just doesn't work it looks ridicules. They totally butchered the solo.

I'm not saying it wasn't good (because it was) I'm just saying it was in the wrong place. |

That guitarist.. never seen one look so silly. He's got chops but LOL all the same.
The whole solo thing really kills the song, I agree. Either way, there is no feeling put in that song, the whole cover, while technically great, still kinda sucks. |

Bars, Parties and Weddings are not appropriate places for wankfests! If I was the bar owner, I woulda told them to pack up and leave! Geez, they took it to the 'HNL' (wHole 'Nuther Level)! LMAO! |

I hate that song (by now) and I don't particularly enjoy '80s-style wanking, but I give them credit for having some fun, and the kids can play, so, thumbs up from me. |

I'm sorry, again if I was the bar owner, I would not have been happy! You could see how uncomfortable dad was!! |

The bassist was quite good, but there were some dead spots in his solos between the licks he just put up one after the other. It was too much show-offing and not very melodical.... The show-offing was also done on the expense of the timing, that was a bit poor at some places.

I think it is allowable to have one song where the band really stretches out. If all the songs where like that...... |

The tapping intro of the bass solo was a bit sloppy, which was a shame because it could have been a nice trick.
The unison part is great, but too many fireworks out there. |
