The music world was profoundly saddened by the death of Eddie Van Halen, who is widely regarded as the world’s greatest guitarist. The singer died on October 6, 2020, following a long history of health challenges before succumbing to a stroke. Though the world still misses Eddie Van Halen, the singer made sure he left a replacement, his son, Wolfgang Van Halen. The 33-year-old became a bassist in his dad’s band and performed alongside his dad from 2007 till 2020. In a recent interview, Wolfgang candidly shared insights into his late dad’s final moments and the void his death left.

With some sounds that start from silence, music can get our feet tapping or send tears rolling down our cheeks. But it takes something special to take the listener by the hand and bring them on an exhilarating, nostalgic journey from start to finish. But if anything’s up to the task, it’s “Hotel California” by the Eagles. The sales and streaming numbers paint a pretty picture for the beloved “Hotel California,” with the band performing the track live no less than 1,000 times, plus a nice spot at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. But it also pushed the envelope with instrumentation, and that 2-minute, 12-second guitar riff earned its place as the best guitar solo of all time by readers of Guitarist back in ‘98. But a shocking amount of stars had to align for this perfect storm that could have been heaven or hell if anything had gone differently. Eagles reverse-engineered “Hotel California” There’s no one right way to write the perfect “journey from innocence to experience,” as Don Henley described “Hotel California,” and of course, for this exceptional piece, they took an exceptional approach. Lead guitarist Don Felder came up with a medley demo before they had anything else, but even at that early stage of the creation process, Henley and Glenn Frey loved what they heard. RELATED: This Version Of Bee Gees ‘Too Much Heaven’ Has Never Been Matched In The History Of Music Felder credited the other two with lyrical composition. “Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words,” he recounted. But the feelings came from a very real experience all of them could relate to. He went on, “All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into L.A. at night […] you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that […] what we started writing the song about.” The song mixes the best of everything, whether the band knew it or not The Eagles, the ‘Hell Freezes Over’, tour, from left: Joe Walsh Timothy B. Schmitt, Don Henley, Don Felder, Glenn Frey, 1994 / Everett Collection Indeed, the band’s roots can be traced everywhere, from Florida to Michigan to Texas. However, their outside perspective was just the right lens to capture that transformative feel only the City of Angels can give someone, which makes it all the more surprising that the Eagles nearly called it “Mexican Reggae.” Even so, remnants of its origins remain, and Record World was right to insist that “a mild reggae flavor pervades the tune.” Some of that reggae flavor might have been further influenced by some Black Sabbath tracks; the rock band was recording right next door, and the noise disrupted the Eagles while they worked on “Hotel California.” Return to the Hotel California / YouTube screenshot When it came time for the Hotel California tour, though, Henley trusted only his own bed to keep him comfortable, so he brought his own mattress to each hotel throughout the tour. Better bring that elusive wine, too; that spirit’s been out since 1969. Of course, “Hotel California’ would also come with a lot of legal baggage. The cover image is captured by the same man who did the Beatles’ Abbey Road and the Who’s Who’s Next, John Kosh, and ended up nearly getting the Eagles sued. More recently, “Hotel California” fell into the center of a case of stolen lyrics, with new updates still cropping up. But once a track is declared one of the very best rock songs of all time, there’s no way it’s going away any time soon, and it feels almost poetically fitting that instead of attending the Grammys in 1978, the band simply watched their own victory afar while they attending practice, notes Rolling Stone. To this day, Hotel California by Eagles is considered one of the best rock songs of all time / YouTube screenshot Click for next Article The post Eagles Still Have Us Returning To “Hotel California” Over 40 Years Later appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.

UPDATED: 5/8/2024 Planet of the Apes hit theaters in 1968 and, thanks in large part to the Planet of the Apes cast, showed us all that you could make a tantalizing sci-fi thriller, not overburdened with CGI and explosions, but with quality costumes, makeup, and one heck of a story. At this point, they’ve returned to this philosophical epic time and time again — including in the 10th film of the saga, May 10th’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes — but the original is visually impactful and leaves us with possibly the greatest cliffhanger of all time. The original Planet of the Apes also boasts a uniquely talented cast no sequel can quite match. The film follows astronauts who crash-land in a very mysterious place where apes are the higher intelligence, and what we might call “humans” are now hunted and treated like any other wild animal. What follows is certainly one of the better science fiction movies ever crafted. We’re going to hunt down what the cast has been up to Charlton Heston (George Taylor): Planet of the Apes Cast Charlton Heston led the cast of Planet of the Apes / Everett Collection / ImageCollect George Taylor is the astronaut commanding an experimental space exploration project. The mission’s success has room for improvement, as his team crash lands on the strange Planet of the Apes. His snapback at his captors while hanging in a net is one of the more famous snippets. Charles Heston does a great job leading the film with his grizzled charisma and star power. Actor Charlton Heston / Paul Smith / Featureflash / ImageCollect RELATED: The Cast Of ‘B. J. And The Bear’ Then And Now 2022 Heston first began acting in 1941, with his breakthrough coming in 1952 when he starred in The Greatest Show on Earth, cast by Cecil B. DeMille himself. Four years later he reunited with Cecil playing Moses in the religious epic The Ten Commandments. Anyone else watches that one at least once a year? BEN-HUR, Charlton Heston, 1959 (Everett Collection) Heston rounded out the ’50s with another epic, William Wyler’s Ben-Hur. The ‘60s were just as fruitful, highlighted by The Agony and the Ecstasy in 1965 and of course Planet of the Apes. The ’70s were good, too, with favorites like1973’s Soylent Green, which makes you ask… what is the secret of Soylent Green? The answer won’t make anyone happy. In 1976 he and Henry Fonda played out some history in Midway. Fans also got to see Heston as a regular on TV from 1985 to ‘87 when he starred in The Colbys, which serves as a spinoff to Dynasty. Then, Heston and his son Fraser produced and starred in a number of TV movies. His son wrote and directed 1990’s Treasure Island, starring dad and a young Christian Bale. Heston married his wife Lydia all the way back in 1944, sharing his life with her for the remainder of his years. Sadly he dealt with a number of health issues later in his life. He first was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998, and after going through radiation, he went into remission. However, in 2002, he disclosed his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, and the influential and prolific actor died in April of 2008 at the age of 84. Maurice Evans (Dr. Zaius) Actor Maurice Evans in Planet of the Apes and after / Everett Collection This evolved orangutan politician serves as the Minister of Science for the Ape Civilization; he heads the courts and denies Heston on every single claim. He is a necessary villain and is played terrifically in the film. THE LOVE BOAT, (sitting, l to r): Helen Hayes, Maurice Evans, Gavin MacLeod, ‘The Caller/Marriage of Convenience/No Girls for Doc/Witness for the Prosecution’, (Season 3, aired May 3, 1980), 1977-1986. © Aaron Spelling Productions / Courtesy Everett Collection Maurice Evans began acting back in the ’20s and is a classically trained British actor. The guy dominated the stage and was a part of some great films, like Kind Lady in 1951, and Rosemary’s Baby in 1968. But somehow he was most successful on TV, from Tarzan in the late ’60s to Bewitched as Samantha’s father, aptly named Maurice. His final film role was the 1979 Steve Martin breakthrough, The Jerk. Evans returned to England to live out his remaining years and died there on March 12, 1989. Roddy McDowall (Cornelius/Caesar): Planet of the Apes Cast Actor Roddy McDowall / Everett Collection Dr. Cornelius is a chimpanzee scientist, skeptical of the humans at first, but follows Zira’s view and eventually helps prove that Taylor and the other humans are intelligent species. McDowall and the other apes shine in this film, showing emotion behind all those costumes and prosthetics, which looked quite incredible. McDowall / Adam Scull-PHOTOlink.net / ImageCollect Roddy began acting in the late ‘30s when he was a child, first in England, before moving to the U.S. Some of his best-known early work includes 1942’s On the Sunny Side and 1943’s Lassie Come Home, where he first worked with a young Elizabeth Taylor. Their friendship would be life-long. He said of her in an interview, “She was an eight-year-old perfection. Absolutely ravishingly beautiful. So beautiful in fact that I began to laugh…because that sort of takes your breath away.” In 1963 he played Octavian in his best friend Liz Taylor’s Cleopatra and followed that with 1968’s The Legend of Robin Hood where he played Prince John. FRIGHT NIGHT, Roddy McDowall, 1985 (Everett Collection) Aside from being a prolific actor, McDowall was also a recognized and talented photographer. He published five books of photographs, featuring profile interviews of celebrities and close friends including Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Maureen O’Hara, Katharine Hepburn, and Lauren Bacall. McDowall died in October of 1998 at the age of 70 from lung cancer.

MEDICAL CENTER, James Daly, 1969-1976. photo: Ivan Nagy/TV Guide/courtesy Everett Collection James Daly stepped into the entertainment biz in the early ‘50s with a big break in the TV show Foreign Intrigue in the mid-’50s. He’d return to TV for one of his final mainstay gigs, playing Chad Everett’s superior in the great show Medical Center. He was scheduled to appear in the play Equus at the historic Westchester Theatre when he died of a heart attack at the age of 59. But the actor lives on through his children, both of whom you certainly know… Tim Daly is also known as Joe Montgomery Hackett from the show Wings, and his daughter Tyne Daly played the Lacey half of the famed Cagney & Lacey! What a talented family. Linda Harrison (Nova): Planet of the Apes Cast Linda Harrison over the years / Everett Collection / Wikimedia Commons Nova is a human who was captured in the same hunting expedition as Taylor. Her blood is used in a transfusion to save Taylor who was critically injured, and the two develop a mutual attraction. Although Nova doesn’t utter a word of dialogue, she is utterly stunning and iconic. Harrison / YouTube Linda Harrison was a model and beauty queen before beginning to act in the ‘60s, playing a cheerleader on a few episodes of Batman for season one. After becoming Nova, she co-starred in the series Bracken’s World, but this was followed by a termination suit. Harrison and a number of others contested that they were wrongfully terminated from 20th Century Fox. They claimed they were subjected to humiliation and embarrassment and the suit was settled out of court. It was in 1974 when Harrison came back to Hollywood after a sabbatical, desperately trying to revamp her career. She picked up a few roles, but was infatuated with securing the role of Roy Scheider’s wife in Jaws, which her husband was producing. However, Universal chief Sid Sheinberg wanted his own wife, Lorraine Gary, to have the part and since he was everyone’s boss, Lorraine got the gig. One of her recent few roles was playing Susan in Cocoon and its sequel in 1988. Today she is 78 years old and resides on the Eastern Shore of her home state of Maryland. Lou Wagner (Lucius) Lou Wagner’s famous roles, from the cast of Planet of the Apes to CHiPs / Everett Collection Lucius is Zira’s rebellious nephew who critiques the actions of the older generation, and tags along with Taylor. He’s really quite funny in the film. CHIPS, (top, l to r): Michael Dorn, Brodie Greer, (middle): Lou Wagner, Larry Wilcox, Randi Oakes, Erik Estrada, (front): Paul Linke, Robert Pine, 1977-83 / Everett Collection The great Lou Wagner began acting in the mid-’60s and guest-starred on a number of shows such as Dragnet and Happy Days, but he’s best known for the great show CHiPs, playing a handy-dandy mechanic for the precinct from season two and beyond. Aside from his movie roles, Wagner also appeared in a recurring McDonald’s commercial for a decade as The Professor. Today Wagner is 83 and likely still playing roles much younger than he is, as the skilled actor stands at just five-foot-two. Kim Hunter (Dr. Zira): Planet of the Apes Cast Kim Hunter from the cast of Planet of the Apes Dr. Zira is a chimpanzee psychologist and veterinarian who specializes in the study of humans and who eventually helps Taylor escape. Zira may be the best part of this film. Actress Kim Hunter / HENRY McGEE GLOBE PHOTOS,INC. / ImageCollect Kim Hunter stepped onto the scene in the early ‘40s, Her very first starring role came in the 1946 British fantasy film A Matter of Life and Death. Then in 1947, she starred in the original Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire as the emphatically-called Stella! Of course, she reprised her Stella for the film version, which earned her an Academy Award. She was also Humphrey Bogart’s leading lady in 1952’s Deadline USA. However, shortly after, she was blacklisted from Hollywood after suspicions of communism, putting her among the ranks of some big names at the time. She still continued acting, albeit in much smaller one-off roles in shows like the Alfred Hitchcock Hour and Bonanza. Hunter also appeared in a number of radio and TV soap operas including ABC’s The Edge of Night. Hunter’s final film role in a major motion picture was in Clint Eastwood’s 1997 film, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. She sadly died in September of 2002 of a heart attack at the age of 79. But with two of her films in the Library of Congress, A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and Planet of the Apes (1968), Kim Hunter will never be forgotten. That was the cast of one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, Planet of the Apes, one that sparked a franchise that continues to this day, with some good and some terrible installments along the way. So answer this: is the original 1968 film the best of the bunch? Of course it is. But what other film from this franchise do you enjoy? Get in the comments and let’s discuss.
