" "Tang Henry:" The California Hotel describes the innocence of the dead Tang Henry from the 1971 band formation and 1972 band released the first album "Theeagles" is one of the members, he accompanied the eagle 40 years of time, in the solo day singing "　　Theendofinnocence "is also sung a one-time best-selling song. For the Chinese tour, Henry said most of the classic songs would be sung exactly as they were, with only a slight change. The reason is that the last 40 years of the band's career has made him discover that the Eagle fans always like to listen to the original, "for example, sometimes you go to see the Bobdylan of the concert, he sang the song completely changed, different rhythm, different tone." But we have our own way, we are not the kind of ' I'm an entertainer, so I want to do what I do '. We want to make our listeners happy, they pay for the concert to hear what they want to hear, the songs we write about, the way we do it, there are no problems with improvisation, some parts make some changes to make some balance. But all the things in the show to let everyone know, this is theeagles. "In the 40 years of the band's debut, the Eagles are not the kind of band that follows fashion trends," Henry admits, "IThey only care about music, not fashion, do not care about hairstyles, obviously do not care about the performance of what to wear. But that's why we're still on this stage after 40 years. We just sing, hope that the music can be with us slowly precipitation, rock band want to gracefully old is not an easy thing, only by virtue of the hoarse, is not sung for several 10 years. Luckily, the music we make is relatively catchy, so we can still sing rock and roll gracefully in front of our fans. "Of course he is confident that the band is still not old after decades of life," in fact, we will have more young fans in the United States, they think the eagle is actually very fashionable, but fashion is not just chasing the trend. "For the famous Hotel California, does it exist, where is it?" Over the years, many fans, critics and musicians have explained many versions, by e-mail, Henry simply explained that this song is about from the naïve to the mature process, miss the innocence of the passing, because they have learned poetry, so in the creation of the use of poetry writing style, which also let this "Hotel California"　　It's a bit of a mystery. Walsh: Sharing music is the secret to staying enthusiastic. In 1974, guitarist Walsh joined the Eagles and made the band's style more rocky from the countryside. In order to perform better, Walsh 15 years ago and began to learn to take good care of himself. When it comes to China, Walsh seems particularly excited. A strange place is likely to have a new creative inspiration, Joe even hope to be able to make the band's trip to the Chinese tour to make a documentary. Walsh said: "I don't know what to expect from the trip to China, I don't know how familiar they are with the Eagle's song, or what songs they all like to hear, just let us do whatever we want to do, and then we'll see how it works. There are fewer places in the world that have never been to us, so going to new places will excite me as if a new energy is going to start flowing. "Over the years, the band members have been over six, but still active on the world stage touring, to maintain this energy and enthusiasm, Walsh's answer is to share the music," in the Eagle, each member has the same opportunity. Everyone can write songs and sing songs, unlike other bands have the lead singer's division of labor. I think this is also the strength of the band, we have never been clear who is the lead singer of the band, so over the years is to try to share the music, in the performance like to change the singing. For example, when I play the guitar, Henry's singing becomes a great thing. When I want to sing, I like to let Henry play my favorite song. Instead of having a lead singer, we might as well take turns singing. is a good thing for the audience. "Of course, like the fans, Joe's favorite is the" Hotel California, "The song," First of all, this song is not easy to play, so far for me is still a challenge. " The greater the difficulty of the repertoire, the greater the challenge II'm confident of my guitar skills, which is why I like it the most. "However, a song is excellent, the performance of the time will be tired, at this time, Joe says, the band will put the song aside for a while, and if it really needs to, try to make small changes or change the way the guitar is played and add new elements, making the songs seem a little different on the spot.
