The real shocker is this was done in one take and there was no such thing as autotune. That was just pure talent.
The Animals would get up on stage and just play their hearts out! Just as good live as on records!
Them were the days!
This song is so old we dont even know who wrote it. Bob dylan even done it
Oh those golden days!
larry120275, sorry mate but if you watch the whole clip Alan Price (on Keyboards) is adjacent to the drummer, at the end of the clip the drummer is way off in the background, don’t get me wrong, this is and always has been my favourite song, but it was not filmed in one take
The tall bass player, Chaz Chandler, was also the guy who discovered an unknown guitarist in New York, took him to England and put together and managed a three-piece band around the guy. The band was called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They were pretty good.
And that man was.......Noel Redding. 😅
fact!
- YES, they were "pretty good" :D
Where is the short bass player? I didn't see him in the video....
“They were pretty good” 🤣 about a redefinition of what it means to play the guitar
Eric Burdon is one of the most underrated singers imo. This song is most definitely a classic but if you research his back story I think you will appreciate this even more. He had a horrible childhood and the fact that he survived and went on to become a legend is beyond belief. Just so awful… but he came out on the other side. ❤️Great reaction guys! Love it! Other songs to check out are Don’t Let Me be Misunderstood and We Got To Get Out of This Place.
Spill the Wine, another great song..
Never heard that before. Underrated I mean.
Yes, Good call. "Don’t Let Me be Misunderstood" and "We Got To Get Out of This Place" are well worth reacting to.
Best Wishes. ☮
Any of his stuff with War was mind blowing too 😍
Underrated no. In 2008, he was ranked 57th in Rolling Stone's list The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Been a metalhead my whole life, but I still say this is the greatest song ever recorded. Makes the hair on my arms stand up every time
It is among my top 10 songs.
I usually listen to death or black metal.
But a good song is a good song.
This song is metal
yup it is one of the best
Eric Burdon the lead singer was a great musician who played with multiple bands including War. Check him out. Red Wine
Brian Jognson and his band Geordie did a cover of this song, and it was great, but it still falls short of Eric Burdon's singing. If you don't have goosebumps by the time Eric gets to the second verse, there is something wrong with you.
The house of the Rising Sun is believed to have been a New Orleans bordello. The song dates way back, with the earliest known recording, under the title "Rising Sun Blues", being released by Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Forster in 1933. The Animals discovered the song via Bob Dylan's version on his first album.
The "ball and chain" reference is not to the narrator going to prison, but to him returning to a lifestyle he knows is destructive -- with the ball and chain representing his addiction to gambling, whores and alcohol. That's what the "one foot on the platform / one foot on the train" lines are about, the narrator making a choice to return to a life they know is bad for them.
Many versions, including Dylan's, have the narrator as a woman, in which the return to New Orleans at the end can be seen as her making the choice to return to a life of prostitution.
One of the better explanations I've read of this classic song. I think you're absolutely on with it, it's my interpretation too.
Oh yeah, I;d forgotten Dylan sang this song. Both versions are great.
^ This
Thank you
Goes back much further! Old english folk song. They have no idea who wrote or what the original lyrics refers to.
The Animals were part of the so-called British Invasion of the mid - to late - 60s. Bands and acts like The Beatles (arguably the biggest of the bands), the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Animals, The Zombies, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and The Pacemakers, and more almost too numerous to mention. They were all either comprised of war babies or boomers, playing to the young and upcoming boomer generation (born from '46 to '64). Some of the best pop/rock music ever made.
Oh forgot about Herman's Hermits. I'll have to look them up again.
I don’t want to pile on but: The Yardbirds, The Who, Manfred Mann, Them, The Moody Blues. I could go on but I’ll stop there.
@@Americathebeautiful49Manfred Mann they were so good. Good memories.
Hang on they where from Newcastle NSW. Australia don't lob them in with the British.
And if you were young in the 60's you'd still have the 70's and 80's to look forward to! So glad I grew up in that era; best there's ever been musically.
In late 1800’s there was a district in New Orleans called Storyville where prostitution was not illegal and they had ‘sporting houses’ which had liquor, gambling and vice. The ‘house’ of the rising sun was one of those!
Backing percussion in the jazz style. Keyboards in the psychodelic style. Blues guitar, and blues vocals. The Animals were something else, man. A total package.
They also did "We Got to Get Out of This Place," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," and "Bring It On Home to Me".
All great songs
And.. It's My Life and Don't Bring Me Down. Both are great tunes.
And many more songs. Hey Bo Diddley is a great song.
A total classic. They recorded this in just one take. This has been covered numerous times as well.
Really, i didn't know guitars were wireless back then.
@@skeletor196 the song was recorded in one take. Not the video.
@@metalguru85 i was going to say the same,the clue is alan price on keyboards two different places
A bigger clue is this is a film shoot set not an effn recording studio. Smh.
@@skeletor196 But even back then, trolls were poorly endowed, and took it out on well-adjusted people...
This is one of my favorites! Eric Burden is a legend. Oh mother, tell your children not to do what I have done. Iconic.
Eric Burdon (vocals), Alan Price (keyboards), Chas Chandler (bass), Hilton Valentine (guitar), John Steel (drums)
this song has the best hammond organ in it! love it!
A Vox organ, according to the video.
Vox continental
And the wizard who is playing it, Alan Price.
Eric burden is the lead singer of the animals and he eventually became the frontmsn for the band WAR.
War has many great songs.. One I think you guys will dig is "spill the wine"
Amazing track right there
YES! I love this band. Glad they were one of my moms favorites so I got introduced to them. Please do
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. These dudes back then were true musicians, experimenting/inventing different skills and sounds without machines to help them in studio. H6 the Zombies are one of my favorites too. Saw them several years ago in Cleveland they still got it.
"I got one foot on the platform/The other on the train." along with "wear the ball and chain" could easily be about losing a battle with an addiction. He knows it bad and doesn't want to, but he can't escape. There's a version of this song on TH-cam where the artists goes into Amazing Grace while keeping the melody of "House". It turns the song into a story of sin and redemption.
Blind Boys of Alabama. Incredible version of Amazing Grace. Once heard it is hard to go back to the original.
@@michaelmcintyre3226 Actually, I was thinking of "House of The Rising Sun/Amazing Grace (Medley by Athens Creek)". But I agree, the addition takes the song to the next level.
House of the rising sun is where he lives with his addiction , just like The Hotel California , “ you can check out anytime you like , but you can never leave .
What a voice Eric Burdon had. Just legendary. Interesting side note the basis Chaz Chandler became hendrix's manager and was the one that really championed his early career
Hanging my head in shame because this is actually the first time I've seen this video! This is such an iconic song and he's got such a distinctive voice. The instrumentals is very reminiscent of The Doors. And like you, Hollywood, after listening to this kind of music, I feel I should've been born in the 50s so I could've enjoyed coming of age when this genre of music and classic rock'n roll was hitting its stride. Keep on rockin' fellas! 🙂❤
Oh dear! You’re making me feel old! When did you arrive on earth? Seventies,Eighties? I feel SOO old! Lol! I was born in late fifties! Yes! Very OLD! Enjoy the sixties and early seventies music! It was the BEST! Peace and Blessings from Australia.
The video was shot for an album demo, and we are very fortunate to have it. Very High video quality. Other bands, like the Beatles made similar ones. Very cool...
I was fourteen when this song came out and I had a humongous crush on Eric Burdon. All my friends screamed for the Beatles but it was The Animals for me. Wonderful times.
So was I! (born 1950) The Animals were very popular. One of the top groups. @@janicetaylor7516
Baby Boomer here! We had really great music back in the day! 1960-1970's! When I went toy niece's wedding I was surprised when they played lots of music from 1960-1970! Why are you playing our music ? I asked her! " Because it is so good! Yes, I had to agree with her! 🥰🥰🥰
The Animals had a string of hits. Try I'm Cryin, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, Don't Bring Me Down, When I Was Young, Sky Pilot. They had a lot of stuff.
This was 1964. Early British Invasion.
By the way, the bass player was a guy named Chas Chandler. He would leave the band to become the manager of a guy named Jimi Hendrix.
One of Britain's best bands imo. I know that the Beatles and rolling stones were probably more well known, but the animals always appealed to me more.
There are so many great songs and bands you still have yet to get through. It’s amazing. You getting to hear these songs for the first time. I remember what it was like the first time I heard them. It takes me back. Great Job Guys
Those keys are just 🔥🔥
Just think, Eric Burdon the lead singer here is now in his eighties, still successfully singing to audiences and is even a great grandfather now. :)
no...he died ages ago
Eric Burdon is still alive. He was 83 in May.
Eric Burden was 23 when they recorded this song, although he sounds like an old blues singer in this, they had a lot of great songs
Eric Burden was 23 at the time of this song, looked 18 and sounded 40. The guy on the organ had his own band later on and the second guy on the guitar was the manager of Jimmi Hendrix. He is singing about a gambling establishment.
A lot of the British bands were influenced by American Blues. The Animals had a grittier sound thanks to Eric Burdens vocals. The sound really holds up. 👍👍👍
Epic! "The House Of The Rising Sun" was a number one hit in the US and the UK for The Animals in 1964. This song ruled the golden oldies stations I used to listen to on the AM radio back when. The Animals were part of the "British Invasion" that followed Beatlemania. I think you'd dig the groove of their song "Don't Bring Me Down" along with their version of Nina Simone's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". They're also known for the songs "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "It's My Life" and the gritty "When I Was Young". Their singer was named Eric Burdon (and he's still alive and touring). He joined the Southern California funk rock band War after The Animals broke up and recorded the superfunkalicious anthem "Spill the Wine" in 1970. After Burdon left, War went on to define the sound of the seventies with such songs as "The World Is a Ghetto", "Slippin' into Darkness", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer".
I grew up listening to this and all the great music of the 60s and 70s on the radio and 45s... you guys would have loved it. Thanks fella's " OLD SCHOOL CLASS of 77 " Fly Like an Eagle....
Yes, very classic. This song has been numerious movies for sure.
The Animals, an English band, whose Lead Singer was Eric Burdon had an amazing voice, but eventually he joined up with a different group called WAR, which was an American band based out of San Francisco, and produced a few major hits, including "Spill The Wine". And the tall Bassist Chas Chandler, became a producer of great bands, including The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Song was included in the Vegas mobster film Casino starring De Niro, Pesci, Sharon Stone…
Near the end when they start killing everyone
the bassist of this band, Chas Chandler (the tall dude), is responsible for discovering and giving the world a guitar player who went by the stage name of Jimmy Hendrix :)
The way the drummer is holding his sticks is called Traditional grip. Stewart Copeland, Jojo Mayer, Thomas Lang, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, and Steve Gadd all use it. Some more than others.
It's definitely not dead. Neil peart started to use this off and on later in his career too.
That was an oldie but a goodie!! You're right smokey, probably one of the most covered songs ever!!! 💯
Morning guys! This is a great song! He's got a great voice and I love the way he plays the organ! ❤️🤓
Good call on the Zombies! The bands you mentioned were part of the British Invasion. It was great being a teenager during these times. Only drawback is that now we’re old😂 but not too old to still enjoy this music ❤
Eric Burdon had a great voice- this song is iconic!
I really enjoyed seeing you two react to one of my favorite tracks of ALL time! I still remember like it was yesterday. My folks vinyl records taught me as a kiddo in the 80’s just how much I loved this track! My dad would also go NUTS 😂 when we’d hear it coming home in his 80’s Ford Maverick aka beach mobile! He’d jam to it, whilst my brother and I would sing along. Good ole days! I too wish I was a teenager in the late 60’s -70’s because the music was too damn good! “The Byrd’s” “Hendrix” “Bob Marley” “Skynyrd” “Doobie Brothers!” “Mama’s & the Papas”.. that group that sang Incense Peppermints.. (drawing a blank) 😂 oh & “Jefferson Airplane”.. I could go on all day! The Vietnam era was so sad, yet brought so much beautiful music. I would’ve loved to have been a teen just to visit Haight Ashbury / San Francisco. What a trip it would have been. Okay I’ve written a book.. 😂 Take care. ✌🏼
Strawberry Alarm Clock ("Incense & Peppermints")
Check out 'Please Don't Lete Be Misunderstood'. Another banger
great cover of a very old folk song. at least 100 yrs old but most think of it as an Animals song lol
My Dad had a large collection of vinyl records that he'd play regularly throughout my childhood and one album was of Eric Burdon and the Animals and one of my favorite songs from them was called "Sky Pilot". It's a song that never gets reacted to but it's an amazing song. A Sky Pilot is a nickname for a military priest. I'll leave the meaning for you to figure out. Here's a link:
th-cam.com/video/m0JMCaKwOUY/w-d-xo.html
I was in primary school, so very young when I first heard this song. I have loved it for over 55 years, and will always love it! What a brilliant song it is still to this day. ❤❤❤
One of the things I really appreciate is that the performance is ALL about the music and singing. NO extreme antics etc. They weren't needed. And Eric really knew how to use his diaphragm to project volume into his singing. NO straining, forcing or pushing his "voice".
ANIMALS, "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN". 7 years old in 1964. That didn't stop me, this became my first favorite young person song. Eric Burden had one of most Powerfu, Soulful, lead singer voice ever. My Aunt owned this .45 record. This would be the age that I started paying attention to music. More Animals songs, "WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE", "DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD", "BRING IT ON HOME TO ME"....
That song was the number one hit during my birth month.
Old folk song. Originally written from the point of view of a woman who fell into prostitution, so the House of the Rising Sun was a brothel. This version supposedly came from Dave van Ronk via Bob Dylan. As an aside, the bass player, Chas Chandler, brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK, and the rest is history.
On a similar vein, how about reacting to "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds. Both Jimi Page and Clapton got their start in The Yardbirds.
And Jeff Beck.
I grew up during this time period and there was so much fantastic music. Eric Burton and the Animals were part of the "British Invasion " along with the Beatles, The Zombies, The Who etc.
I saw The Who in 1967, Zeppelin in 1970 amongst other bands.
Never saw the Animals I know this song well. Eric Burton has one of those old soul voices. Could you please react to RUSH The Fountain of Lamneth. You like their story telling, here is another one for you. Cheers 🇨🇦
This is a timeless classic. This is also one of my favorite music videos. Most are not
“live” but this one is a head scratcher. It looks like Burdon is lip syncing but the
instrumentation looks live. Especially the keyboardist. Man, what a classic jam!
I can't see how it could be live, nothing seems to be plugged in and no mics.
They may have actually played it live but only used the video part of it, and just have been good enough to have been in time to a recording playing in the studio.
I grew up in the sixties. So glad I did. The Music was like no other. The best in my opinion.
His vocal fry is stunning ⭐
The Animals were originally from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. An instant hit. My late Maternal Grandfather (Leslie John Robertson; late of South Benfleet, Essex couldn't read sheet-music, but could play this tune by-ear. He was a serious Organist. Died from Coronavirus in Late January 2021 aged 92)
My fathers favorite song! Vietnam AF Veteran. Heard me listening to this song while I was just chillin in my room when I was like 12 or so and was like- hey- where did you hear this song? I told him I heard it from you late at night! We still listen and sing when we have a few together. Thanks guys!!!
RIP Hilton Valentine, the guitarist. As simple as it is, to me, that is one of the SHREDDINGEST guitar riffs in Rock...
first had this on 8-track such a gr8 song
Picked up my phone this morning, thought I’d check in with you guys, saw this song and said ‘yup good start to the day’! ❤
That brilliant scene near the end of 'Casino' when the shit is all falling apart.
Both of you were so close about the lyrical meaning of the song! However, I believe the "ball and chain" referred to in the song is that of marriage, not incarceration. The House of the Rising Sun, historically, was a brothel and gambling parlor in New Orleans. The main character in the song is relating that he followed his father's example of gambling and dodging his responsibilities until he got a girl in the brothel pregnant. Instead of continuing in the ways of his father, thereby creating another generation of the same, he is going to return and marry the girl...thereby ending the cycle. Great reaction as always guys!
Or addiction.
The train is often a symbol for death so one foot on the platform and one on the train is the threshold of death. So after death the depravity of his (or her) life with be the nature of his hell.
Nun ur interpretation is interesting I'll look for it! Always thought ball and chain referred to crime! Where do u get the pregnancy reference?
This song is in so many movies. It’s a testament to the staying power of the 60’s music. My mom played this song over and over…
Eric burden the lead singer is still singing to this day ,touring mainly the us signing blues.
I gew up knowing eric as one of my fathers good friends,after the animals he went to the psychedelic side with a band called war ❤
I wouldn't necessarily say the ball and chain is a reference to going to jail the theme of the song is gambling the house of the rising sun is most likely a casino or gambling den the ball and chain is more likely a metaphor for his gambling addiction
Brett Hart won his first WWF(e) title against Ric Flair at Saskatchewan Place in Saskatoon October 12th 1992. His first defense was against Papa Shango.
It warms my heart to hear you say you love and appreciate this music. I grew up in the 60’s and this was my music. I also lived in LA and saw many of the groups live.
I normally wouldn't suggest five finger death punch but they covered this song and it turned out really good 👌
This is an iconic song. Eric Burdon's voice is extroadinary. Also this band went on to dicover Jimmi hendrix , bring him back to UK and promote him, which i know you will appreciate. Love your comments about the bands of the time , you should also check out Cream: white room and badge, and the yardbirds for your love and the original version of dazed and confused , to understand how music developed during that time. The yardbirds had three of the great guitarists eric clapton , jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in their lineups. they eventaully morphed into led Zeppelin. You still need to do more led zeppelin - but you are always entertaining!!
The Animals version was a cover, earliest known recording was in 1933. There is an Lp with 14 versions with different artists, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Woodie Guthrie and others.
The house of the rising sun would most likely be described as a house of ill reput like there was in the Old West. A saloon with drinking and gambling and a brothel, all in one. If you have seen the movie Tombstone, you would get an idea as it is depicted in the movie a couple of times. Just not the brothel part but it is understood watching the movie.
Loved your reactions. This is an amazing song with amazing musicians and with Eric Burdon’s bluesy, kick ass voice. Love the cool vibe of The Animals.
The go to song for a tragic death scene
This is definitely one of the most iconic songs ever written, everything about it is epic. Even though I'm not really a fan of Five Finger Death Punch anymore, they actually did a really good cover of this song.
I only liked FFDP's first 2 albums but they do have some awesome covers, I definitely recommend checking out their cover of "House Of The Rising Sun". Great reaction as usual guys! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
How about
Leadbelly,'s version circa 1944
@@jgsrhythm100 hmmm I've never heard that one before, I'm gonna have to give it a listen. Thanks for the suggestion brotha. 🤝🤜🤛
The first version of this I ever heard was by Dolly Parton, on her 9 to 5 album. I like it as well as this one, but that might be bias from hearing it first. Eric Burdon’s vocals are incredible.
@@6li8storm40 How about
Leadbelly's version circa 1944
@@jgsrhythm100His version is interesting. The tone and the particular lyrics he used make it seem like a completely different song than others I’ve heard. I like it, but it just feels like a different song, rather than just a different version.
Great song, so well known and covered multiple times. That lady at the beginning saying “What in the tarnation?” was hilarious.
The choreographer of this video had a cushy job. “Okay guys, just wander around and stand behind the keyboard player for a minute and then continue wandering around some more. Okay, I’m out to lunch.”
I really hate the way this vid was made. It doesn't match the band or song in any way. No passion or soul, unlike the song that has plenty of both.
Pure class. We who were there in the 60's were gifted a magical musical time.
My generation grew up with the greatest music!! We know what real singers sound like, most of today's music is computer generated!! Our generation was blessed!!
I love this song! I was just 1 when this came out, but it was still getting a lot of radio play when I got old enough to consciously listen to radio, from about 5 onwards. I'm so glad you guys are discovering the music I grew up with, and introducing it to a new generation!
For further Animals listening, I'd suggest "When I Was Young" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". These are just some of my many favourites!
The Animals were very popular in the day and had a number of hits....
I think you guys pretty much got the meaning of that song right on the money. It’s My Life, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Sky Pilot and Monterey are just a few of the Animals great tunes.
Love love love this!!!! I WAS born in the 50’s, & i grew up with this music! Nothing compares!!!
I was 19 & in college. We played this song on our 33 rpm stereo lp's over and over . Great memories.
It was a special time to experience these songs when they were first recorded.
Love the video and I find your reactions are great. I love this song as well. I interpreted this song as him working at the House of the Raising Sun and that he can’t seem to escape from it.
“Playing the hell out of it!” Lol.
Im a french Canadian and a fun fact this song was translated in french ( we have a french version) great reaction once again guys 🤟
Hard to believe that soul was coming out of that baby faced young man .. Eric Burdon , was a great singer songwriter.This song was HUGE when I was two years old...but when I was a teen , and began playing guitar , it made a huge comeback. I can't tell you how many times I played this at a gig by request in my teen years. Great reaction.!! Great Memories. By the way The House of the Rising Sun , was ALL of the things you mentioned . If you wanted it , you could find it there.
This is straight, with no tricks added in as all recordings have now to make tracks sound decent enough; just pure talent.
Thanks so much for reminding me of this great song!
I had it on randomly when play Red Dead Redemption 2 once, and it fit with that perfectly, old west vibe 😯
Smokey touched on points i didnt realise...what i got from it is that House of the Rising Sun was a brothel, and the story is about 200 years old, involving a girl?!. Leadbelly was one of the first to cover this myth/song, but Animals did the best version, hands down!!
They are from Newcastle, northern England, and were up there with Beatles and Rolling Stones.
I didn't see anyone mention "San Francisco Nights," another great song by the Animals. Worth a listen.
Their management dressed them up like the beatles, gave them similar hairstyles, and sent them over from England in the summer of 1964. (just before the Rolling Stones came over in the fall with Herman's hermits)
Elvis and Buddy Holly were in the 50s. The Beatles were the first "pop" group that wrote their own music and played their own instruments.
At this time the Beatles were on tour in the US. When they went back to London in the fall, the Stones needed a song to break in the US market. John and Paul gave them a Ringo song, I WANNA BE YOUR MAN and the stones took it to the top ten and broke into stardom.
the keyboardist got the royalties for the song, his name was listed first, and they only pay to the first name. Paul McCartney got pissed at all the songs that got indexed as Lennon/McC........ His name doesn't fit the register listing, so he got screwed out of a lot of earlier publishing money.
Effortless, just awesome!!! Thankyou 😊
Classic song. This song is from the 60s, a part of the British Invasion. So cool. I think you need to listen to Cold Chisel "Bow River" live 2013 I think? So freakin good! Thanks Gents. ✌
Eric Burdon (lead singer) was only 23. The guy playing keyboard was Alan Price. He was playing a VOX Continental transistorized Organ, of which only a few other bands used, but I love the sound. And yes, they did this in one take.
This is real raw talent…brings back great memories…love them back then ..love them now ♥️♥️
I always interpreted the Ball and Chain line to mean addiction.
.....The Animals, The Beatles, the Kinks, the Buckinghams, etc. were all part of the British Invasion which was british rock bands entering the American Market en masse for the first time. This happened around 1964...
This is mid-60's British rock. The song is an old traditional folk song recorded by many, many people, including Joan Baez. There are really two versions, one for women, one for men. Thus the House is either a brothel or a casino. Eric Burdon is a monster singer.
I was born 1955
Lived thru all the iconic bands of the times
Lotta great sounds
Now it’s 2022
Getting old ain’t for sissy’s
Absolute classic. Must say I prefer the Frijid Pink version though. I think it has a bit more "grunt" to it than The Animals version.
The song was used for the scene in Casino where Sharon Stone od’s.
I graduated in 69 this song was my absolute favorite. Wow the memories 😮.
