The greatest song ever no doubt about it, but does anyone really know what the song is about? I think its about satanism but not really sure. Drop your opinion.

I don't think its meant to be anything as dark as that, I think its just meant to be about the old woman not being able to let go of her youth.
It has 9 guitar overdubs for some reason. Theres an interesting yet useless fact about it. Its only got about 6 chords all the way through but there you go, they had to do SOMETHING to make it more interesting!

I grew up on this song 
My dad would play it on the guitar while he and I sang along to it..
"Hotel California is an allegory about hedonism and greed in Southern California in the 1970s. At the time of its release, the Eagles were riding high in the music world, experiencing material success on a frightening level. Though they thoroughly enjoyed the money, drugs, and women fame threw their way, they were disquieted by it all and sought to pour that sense of unease into their music and to warn others about the dark underside of such adulation.?"
The real Hotel California is not a place but it is a metaphor for the music industry and its effect on green musicians who find themselves ensnared in in the life style due to their talent...
