Re: Hotel California 到底是指甚麼呢 ? Michael叔叔一篇『撒旦與流行歌的關係』
是網上一篇流傳的文章， 很多都網站只註明是轉載自信仰討論區，原稿來源不詳。 所以其真確性很令人懷疑。 不過這篇文又引起我的好奇，於是又翻查一下資料。 翻查網上有關資料，發覺文章主要內容是來自網上一篇名為 Rock Music: The Devil's Advocate文章，由Terry Watkins撰寫， 文章附於一個名為Dial-the-Truth Ministries的傳道網站中。 Source:http://www.av1611.org/rock.html 先講中文流傳版，內容主要是『Rock Music: The Devil's Advocate』， 加上其他傳聞寫成。 文中關於其他歌的『猜測』或『妄想』實在沒有無時間深究， 但既然此Topic關於Hotel California, 我就有D興趣講下； 文中關於： 『Eagles（以印度一邪教名為其樂隊名稱）於1969年的一首在San Francisco's First Church of Satan中所錄的撒旦教名曲" Hotel California』 我查到的資料： １） 首先，Hotel California大碟中所有Tracks，包括HC(Hotel California) 是於1976年月3至10月在加洲洛杉磯的Record Plant及佛洲邁阿密的Criteria Studios錄音。 並非1969年的作品或錄音。 此外，Ealges 成立於1971年，由Linda Ronstadt伴奏樂隊成員， 包括Bernie Leadon、Randy Meisner、Glenn Frey、Don Henley四人組成， 當時作Hotel California基本chord progression的Don Felder仲未加入， 佢地玩D歌還是比較柔情的soft rock及country rock 咁佢地又點會在1969年， 成立Eagles前3年錄了咁劃時代既Hard Rock代表作 ──Hotel California呢？ 2) 『San Francisco's First Church of Satan』應該是指1966年， 由主教Anton Szandor LaVey創立的Church of Satan，雖是『撤旦教會』， 但不太神秘，有官方網頁，甚至中文網頁報導其歷史及消息。 很多知名人士都是與其『有關』，如： actress Jayne Mansfield, musicians Sammy Davis Jr., King Diamond, Marilyn Manson, Boyd Rice, Marc Almond, and journalist Michael Moynihan. 但未聽過有Eagles份。 3) 『Eagles（以印度一邪教名為其樂隊名稱）』 印度是否有個邪教叫Eagles或『老鷹』，大佬，唔駛浪費時間查吧， 有與沒有都沒有關係，唔通中國『白蛇傳』又同WhiteSnake有關？ 文中關於： 『並在1969年，於California Street中， 買了那間名叫" Hotel California"的酒店， 作為撒旦教之總部，在裏面獻祭予撒旦。 撒旦聖經(The Satanic Bible)於同年出版』 我查到的資料： Anton Szandor LaVey是在1956年， 在San Francisco’s Richmond district的California Street買了一間Victorian house， 並將之油上黑漆，其後成為Church of Satan總部。 所以年份不是1969年，是一座維多利亞式建築物， 不知是否一間酒店，若是，應該會說明。 而撒旦聖經才是1969年寫成。 傳聞與事實往往不符。 Source:http://www.churchofsatan.com/Pages/LaVeyBiography.html 其實『Rock Music: The Devil's Advocate』原文關於HC(Hotel California)部份只有一段： 『One of the top songs of the 70's was "Hotel California" by the Eagles. Most people have no idea the song refers to the Church of Satan, which happens to be located in a converted HOTEL on CALIFORNIA street! On the inside of the album cover, looking down on the festivities, is Anton Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan and author of the Satanic Bible! People say, the Eagles aren't serious, they're just selling records. That's what you think! The Eagles manager, Larry Salter, admitted in the Waco Tribune-Herald, (Feb. 28, 1982) that the Eagles were involved with the Church of Satan! Not surprisingly, one of the Eagles's songs is titled "Have A Good Day in Hell."』 當中唱片內頁的撤旦教主照片及Eagles經理人在1982年承認Eagles與Church of Satan有關。 在2005年2月，Loe Walsh接受In Music We Trust訪問， 談及HC唱片內頁有關撤旦教教主Anton Lavey照片問題： IMWT: Let's settle it: who wrote the "Hotel California" solo, you or Don Felder? JW: I would think that's a joint effort. The lead parts that we trade off, he came up with his, I came up with mine. And the stuff that we played together was worked out together. IMWT: Is it true that, on the cover of Hotel California, late Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey is seen standing in one of the hotel windows? JW: Absolutely not. Any reference to Satan or anything like that is completely in the eyes of whoever is thinking that. That's a reflection of how sick they are. The guy in the window is one of the Elektra/Asylum publicity guys. The lighting just happened to be bad and he was really shy, so he was just peeking around the corner. Source: http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/52h09.htm 原來是一位害羞的唱片公司宣傳人員被誤認是撤旦教主， 令HC這唱片增添神秘。  Joe Walsh:『Hotel California同撤旦教會冇關架！而Solo係我同Don Felder一齊作既，嘻嘻！』 （設計對白by Sim） 至於經理人是否真的有承認Eagles與Church of Satan有關， 因沒1982年2月28日的Waco Tribune-Herald，那便無從稽考了。 不過Don Henley在1987年接受Rolling Stones雜誌訪問時， 已表明HC歌詞表達的與撤旦教無關， 強調內容是以加洲作為美國70年代的一個『微觀世界』， 反映左當時濫藥、自我放縱、時裝、藝術等文化。 Q: 'Hotel California' was widely received as a sharp commentary on Southern California's penchant for superficiality and decadence. Was that your intention? Henley: Actually, I was a little disappointed with how the record was taken, because I meant it in a much broader sense than a commentary about California. I was looking at American culture, and when I called that one song "Hotel California," I was simply using California as a microcosm for the rest of America and for the self-indulgence of our entire culture. It was, to a certain extent, about California, about the excesses out here. But in many instances, as California goes, so goes the nation. Things simply happen out here or in New York first -- whether it's with drugs or fashion or artistic movements or economic trends -- and then work their way toward the middle of America. And that's what I was trying to get at.

He organized his own religion."撒旦的計劃昭然若揭。 這歌正面播的歌詞是： " They just can't kill the beast,......... This could be Heaven or this could be Hell,......... We haven't had that spirit（這裏指聖靈）here since 1969. ........... You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."』 另外有說隱藏字句是： "Yeah satan, oh he came, and organized his own religion" 為了証明是否真有其『詞』，我特別用CoolEdit音樂軟件中的倒置功能， 將HC最尾一段歌詞至入尾奏solo部份倒轉， 並以正常速度Playback，聽下聽唔聽到特別『隱藏歌詞』。 原歌詞為： 『Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before 'Relax,' said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!』 我已將HC倒轉部份放上網，大家可以一齊聽下：
