Hotel California... the real story according to Randolf
Ok this song actually came about when I was playing solo acoustic and vocals in a pub. This was before I had my loopers. This drunk unker and his buddies came up to me in the middle of a song I was playing and he breathed down my neck demanding for the song and I'm like tinkin to myself...ya, so how the hell am I gonna pull this off with just me and my limited fingers right? So I played this beautiful but over overplayed song to best of my distant memory and i just din want to play the infamous "singalong solo" (how to right? and I just played the rhythm guitar and this damn unker marched up to me while I was furiously playing and hollered "Oi! Where's the @#$%in'Solo Brudderrr?" Wanna know what happened? I dropped the rhythm and went into the solo and finished the song with dat "da da da dum" Bminor chord ending rite and guess what? Hehehe...
This drunk unker and his drunken walrus buddies were clapping with flippers for hands missing each other and hollering from the bar "Aya, where's the rhythm geetar?!!!". Aiyooooooooooo!
