Black. Country bloody phone
Well shit bruv, you'll get a kick out of Johnny Cash... And especially one of his last songs Hurt.
I'm assuming you probably know Hurt isn't a Johnny Cash song, it's originally by Nine Inch Nails, but even Trent Reznor has said it's now Johnny's song. The Cash version was used to great effect in an episode of Person of Interest after one of the main characters died.
@@baldychris2006 yes, I'm well aware. I focused on voice when making my recommendation
This was sung by Eric Burdon when he was 23, looked like he was 16 and sang like he was 40.
I long suspected he was time traveler because of this, lol
Which is one of the reasons, why listening to "When I Was Young" is strongly recommended.
Hehe, like Andrew Strong in The Commitments, was 16, looked 23 and sounded 60.
Great comment :D that's the thing with many of those guys from back then
My favorite song of all time. I can't sing or play instruments but I can feel the music deep down in my soul!
My dad, a Vietnam vet, begged me to learn this on guitar when I was 16. I reluctantly did, played it for him, and he started to cry. I'm glad I learned it.
Beautiful!
Just know this you are very very lucky.
First guitar song I learned!
@@trishemerald2487Back when this came out I was in seventh grade and if you played at all this was a must learn and was usually your first unavoidable encounter with the F chord.
Don’t ever apologise for a genuine reaction. That’s why people watch you
yeah theres so many fake reactors, where they say ''first time listen'' and then sing along xD
Your reaction was perfect. Don't ever change.
exactly why i subscribed
Hear! Hear!
Everyone reacts when Eric Burdon opens his mouth and that voice comes out.
This song was recorded in one continuous take. No do-overs. No autotune.
The Animals formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1962.
Other The Animals songs, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" and "Don't Let Me Be Missunderstood".
Eric Burdon also sang in the group "War". One of their songs "Spill The Wine".
You just mentioned the three songs I was going to suggest. Great songs.
Me too. All great songs.
All 3 are must hear. Good list!
I heard Eric Burdon is a Geordie.
When I was young is my favourite
Please remember, there were no music videos, as we know them today. This was a recording of a live television appearance.
As such, the music and vocals are live, with zero auto-tune or post recording manipulation. The artists were all really that talented.
And this was done with all analog equipment.
I’m so lucky. I grew up to this music. Kind feel sorry for the rap generation. Can’t imagine a favorite rap song at a 50th anniversary. 😂
TV appearances in this period were almost always the band lip-synching to their record. It's not that they couldn't perform live, it's that the equipment in the TV studios wasn't up to capturing the live performances well, so if they wanted to sound their best they had to play the record. In videos like this, look closely at the guitars and basses -- most of the time they're not even plugged in.
It was on a show called Shindig.
@@californiasmiles1We we’re spoiled rotten in the Sixties with the culture.
You ought to listen to Joe Cocker from Sheffield for a raspy voice.
Eric Burdon is still with us. He's 83yo now. MASSIVE voice lol
71 years old here. The Animals were huge back in the 60s. Hard to fathom you young kids not having heard them! They are English, but very popular here in the US. This is such a great song.
A couple of yrs older than you. I totally agree!! Why havent they heard this???
Eric Burden is regarded as one of the British Invasion's most distinctive singers with his deep, powerful blues-rock voice. Burdon is also known for his intense stage performances.
Amen
Lifted directly from wiki by bot
Thank you, Wikipedia.
Eric Burdon was born singing like a 60 year old man lol
The singer Eric Burden is English having been Born in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Definitely recommend more from The Animals. Including "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", or another power Ballad "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".
Or check out “Eric Burden & WAR” do “Spill the Wine”. Whole ‘nuther Level. 5:11
Keep up the good work.
Old guy here. They blew everyone away when they first came on the radio. Just great.
Old girl here agrees
Nobody expects the power of his vocals by looking at him
Mark lammar always reminded me of him
I knew the song before ever watching the video and I still remember how it blew my mind as a young girl the first time I realised who that voice belonged to
When he appeared on live shows, he walks out looking like a kid, and then this GIANT soulful voice comes exploding out of him.
Listen & weep at the greatest music we boomers had...we are all senior citizens now !! We had it all...listen & weep !!😊
Preach!! Lol
Gen X had it good too.
Exactly a 65 baby 😂
You like raspy voices. Bob Seger is the singer for you.
I'm Gen X and I love reminding smug Zoomers that Punk was a Boomers invention
Love seeing a young person discovering older music
Me too. It’s somehow validating.
I love this! Along with a smile, Music is a universal language! I love seeing the feelings flowing thru MB....❤
Eric's voice has gobsmacked listeners for years!
Thank God for reaction channels to keep this music alive and not let it disappear!
Songs like this won't disappear. It's not like today's shit that's popular for one day.
I legitimately feel like the Animals were the godfathers of alternative music!
This is one of the most famous songs of all time.
sure is
The baby-faced kid with the big voice is now in his 80s.
No autotune, just an incredible voice.
The Animals, that voice, that organ, let the tingling begin.
The brilliant Alan Price.
The great Alan Price on the organ.
I love how the man behind the singer, is just sporting a HUGE grin at the end there, and then I remember that this recording was a one shot one-time chance they had, and that guy's just got to be so hyped!
They are part of the British Invasion of the 60's. Iconic song and band.
I’m 77. Smiling to see your reaction. We loved this song the best when I was in college. 1964-1968. Pleased to see they’re still appreciated by young people. ❤😊❤ played this on repeat all through college.
Interesting side note. The Animals’ bass player, Chas Chandler, pretty much discovered Jimi Hendrix. After seeing him in the US when he wasn’t well known and wasn’t even performing under his own name, he brought him to the UK, recruited a drummer and bass player, created the Jimi Hendrix experience and produced Jimi’s first few albums.
💥💥💥💥 Thanx,,,👍👍👍🤪
He's right, you know.
The Animals were part of the 60s British Invasion in America with the biggest groups being The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I like all of their songs and had a chance to see them in person. However, lead singer Eric Burdon was a no show due to illness? Have you ever heard the song that Eric Burdon sang with War called Spill The Wine? Very strange but an earworm that you can't get out of your head. Love Your Show!
Amazing!! Thank you for this information.
He also managed Slade for 12 years.
Eric Burdon is for real. Bad boy UK wild kid. Love his intensity.
So the song here is a cover. It's a Very old American folk song (circa 1870), first recorded in 1925 by Robert Winslow Gordon, though he learned it from his Grandfather.... Later popularized by the Animals in the 1960s. The Animals are a British band, singing an American song, the melody of which was based on an English pub song (Entitled "Matty Groves"), so it went full circle, lol. They did change the lyrics. Originally, the song was about a prostitute, they changed it to "Gambler" to make it safe for radio play.
The original lyric was set in England, NOT New Orleans. Here's a line from the original:
"If you go to Lowestoft, and ask for The Rising Sun,
There you'll find two old whores and my old woman is one"
Edited:
The instrument you're hearing is not Keyboard. I originally mistook it for a Mellotron, but one of the commentors below pointed out it is a Vox Continental, and they were correct. The Vox can emulate Mellotron sounds, but the bright orange color should have tipped me off. Good catch, dude. I stand corrected.
Both the Vox and the Mellotron were analogue synth keyboards, with the vox being a transistor-based tone generator, while the mellotron used recorded micro-loops for each tone. Modern keyboards today are like a combination of the features of both. Both could reproduce the sounds in this song, but it is a Vox being used here.
Love all the background info… Thanks
Amazing context! Thanks for educating us!
Best comment
I appreciate this information!! Thanks
Sorry, gotta correct you on one point. The keyboard isn't a Mellotron, it's a Vox Continental organ.
No auto tune, very little effects. Pure and raw talent. What you hear is what you get😊
This song is 60 years old this year. Let that sink in. Lol
The earliest written version is said to have dated from around the Civil War, though it's thought to have been derived from either an English or French folk song from as early as the 16th century.
@@jeffjohnson9911wow that's cool.
@@jeffjohnson9911English
So am I. 60. Crazy.
Sad that I remember when it came out. Every garage band had to learn it.😊
Im 62 and my hair and goosebumps still raise up when i hear the Animalssi g this song. 🎶💖🙏🐞🍁
The organ solo is indeed pretty sweet!
It is my favorite solo, and favorite part of the song.
@@normagarrett7039the great Alan Price.
What I love about watching reactions to this is the look on people's faces when his vocals kick in. No one expects this voice out of that dude.
I am from Newcastle and used to go to a nightclub where the Animals sang and what great nights they were in the 1960s. What memories. 👍
It was such a great time to be a young person. I'm sorry my grand children will never have the life we had back then.
I'm so glad so many young people today are doing reactions to music from earlier times. It shows up modern music of today as being highly manufactured. Corporations have completely taken over music composition today, and the great potential of today's young people is being trampled. A great sorrow and loss.
"The Animals" were from Newcastle
Upon Tyne UK. They were founded by the Singer Eric Burdon in 1963.
They were one of the Most Important
Bands of the British Invasion Movement!!! I do think you look a bit
Like him. Take that as a compliment 😉!! He had an Incredible Voice !!
Eric Burdon is still touring with The Animals these days. He’s incredible.
I prefer you to be honest with yer reactions rather than be fake and act to what you think people want. If it blows you away, great. If it's a slow burner, great. If you didn't like it or it wasn't yer cup of tea, great. As long as you are genuine and honest, that is what we want. If someone doesn't like that then let them find something else that pleases them. Always be real MollyBoy 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
I agree ☮🖤🤘🇺🇸
I was laughing with my grandson just tonight talking about this song. Six decades and one year ago it was the home waltz at my grade 7 Christmas dance and my then crush asked me to dance. I’ll never forget it. I hear the opening of that song anywhere now and I freeze and listen. It’s been my all-time favourite for most of my life! My claim to fame was teaching my son and daughter how to play it on guitar many years ago. ♥️🎶♥️🎶
They were on the way to a gig, stopped at the recording studio, cut the record in one take. Total time: 15 minutes. Then went on their way.
Another great song, 1967, White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick amazing vocals...
Wave the British flag proudly! So many incredible musicians from across the pond!
And, surprisingly in this instance, just possibly it is an ancient English folk tune, but that is practically lost in the mist of time! The organist and vocalist NEVER spoke to each other again after disputes over money from this very lucrative track! Always much more to learn, MB.
Yes ! Thanks UK !! You guys made radio-listening so much fun in the 1960s and beyond. I love Gerry & The Pacemakers and The Psychedelic Furs. ( from Kansas USA )
Another British import was The Dave Clark Five (same era). You don't hear much about them anymore, but they were pretty good also.
One of the greatest and the most famous songs of all time.
Burden having a boyish face with 40 or 50 year old grit, soul and power.
Eric Burdon, as far as I know, is still alive. Even on PBS, American broadcasts in the 1990's and after, he will knock your socks off!
Eric is 20-21 during this performance. What a voice. Back in the day the bands had to be very talented with an outstanding front man. No autotune. They are British. Thanks. Appreciate your sincere reaction.
He's 23 when they recorded the song -in the video he just turned 24
Suss t-pains cover of war pigs, he is known for autotune but actually has a really good singing voice
Real voices, real instrument talent, real writing. What more can you ask for?
This is their best song for me, and it's a cover, but it belongs to the Animals now. No one has ever done it better.
The Psychedelic Rock Band "FRIJID PINK" does this Song better! 🎸🥁
@@j.j.upright4010 Love "Frigid Pink"!
60 years later and this song STILL gives me goosebumps. My absolute favourite non-Beatles song.
My mom had a teenage crush on the keyboard player. lol. At the time people were either fan of The Beatles or fan of The Rolling Stones. My mom was like, yeah they're good, but have you heard The Animals!
I had a bit of a crush on him too, after he had his own band.
Alan Price was the keyboard player. ❤️🎵
Can you imagine our grand kids are amazed at our music we had back then they love to tune in.
Your facial expressions are worth more than words. Great reaction!
The 60s and 70s has had the absolute best rock n roll music ever made!
This is one of the best songs ever written. In 200 years when they talk about music from that era, someone will mention this song, and someone else will insist it gets played for anyone who hasn't heard it. And they will react in the same way down through the years until the sun burns out.
Eric Burdon lead singer 🔥is still performing !! I’ve loved The Animals since the sixties, as a teen they were one of my fav British bands along with The Kinks, The Beatles,Donovan, Herman’s Hermits !! 🔥💥☮️ cheers from 🇨🇦
Look at at that kid playing the guitar smiling over his sholder as its paused at 7:54. You can see that they're genuinely having fun making music and he knows that they just crushed this video.
The look on your face! The moments when you realize just how good it really is. The early British bands were all about blues, they worshipped the old blues masters. But they put their own spin on the sound, in much of their early work. Animals, Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc… they all began with old blues covers. Loving watching your mind expand, keep going.
You talk about the chills--I've heard this song probably hundreds of times since 1964 and get chills every time I hear it . . . still. Timeless songs do that to you.
Your look at the beginning spoke volumes!!! That was THE LOOK that this song and performance brings to faces..stunning reaction!!!
I have always loved this song!! So good and with no editing!! The Animals were ahead of there time for sure!! Chills all day!! Glad you liked it!! Unfortunately, not much like that coming out these days!!
They walked a funeral march, typical of the south when someone died in the video, great song
You've become one of my favorite reactors lately, you always strike a really nice balance of technical appreciation for the production details of a song, and emotional appreciation for the music overall. Even when you're GOBSMACKED, you always find a good way of articulating exactly what's gobsmacking you, and that's really cool. Thanks for the videos!
This song has been giving me the chills since I first heard it in the '70's. My dad had a stack of albums that we totally absorbed - The Animals were in it. This band was a transformative powerhouse of the 60's.
Eric Burden was a true Animal, voice-wise. Extreme power and clarity. very few male vocalists can do it like he did.
They're British. One of the "British Invasion" bands of the '60's that reintroduced Americans to their own music -- the blues.
Stunned silence is the best reaction ❤
I love the organ player in this video. All are great, but he's just wailing on those keys in his own world, and loving every second.
Alan Price - another famous Englishman!
The music you like and listen to today,,,,is a branch from the TREE of music that's been created over the years. The 60's and 70's birthed EVERYTHING. 💥💥💥👍😎
Taking folk music and givin' it some soul. I think everyone was gobsmacked when they first saw this, not expecting that voice. Love the magic of classic rock. 🔥🔥✌
Allman Brothers. Whipping Post. Raspy!
Absolutely
The Animals have several songs you should listen to - they are legends. They are part of several bands circa 60's that killed it. And yeah, who'd ever think we could jam out to someone shredding a keyboard - :). Glad you found The Animals -
Stay with humble and honest. It suits you. No reason to get too excited all the time. Your knowledge and instinct and wit are what we are here for 😊
From Britain, Newcastle On The Tyne, were a group in the 60s and 70s Eric Burton was the lead singer. Also "We Got To Get Out Of This Place". And some more hits. By the time the group started Eric had been been around clubs for a few years. The Animals had over 150 songs. Last time I looked Eric was still alive.
The Animals are British.
Eric Burdon was 22 or 23 when this was released. For a young man his voice was incredibly mature and controlled. He had the perfect blues/rock voice. He would have made an incredible heavy metal band front man.
Eric Burdon just turned 83 at the beginning of may.He lives in Ojai(ow hi),california these days.This song is about a brothel called The Rising Sun. He also sang with a another band after The Animals called War. He has had a lot of very successful records .His voice is very recognizable.
What a great vocal performance! I've always loved this song.
Newcastle on Tyne.
Your surprise at the keyboard......
Emerson Lake & Palmer : "Hold our beers" 🍻 😂 (Keith Emerson will blow your doors off)
5 Geordies singing about an Oriental brothel in the American Deep South. The singer is Eric Burdon. Check out Eric Burdon & War performing Spill The Wine on Beat Club in 1970. Or Grand Funk Railroad covering the Aminals tune Inside Looking Out on TV 1969.
Indeed, Geordie land's finest. I love their "Bring It On home To Me"
Oriental? It’s a gambling den & brothel .Houses far enough outside of town to only run into others up to no good. The name is just a play on you don’t leave until dawn. We have to ask Eric
Love this🥰Grew up listening to this-was one of my Momma’s favorite songs🥹That and anything Creedence Clearwater Rival. James Brown, ALL the oldies but goodie’s from the 50s/60s and my older sister carried through the 70s and 80s and was a teen in the 90s-graduated in ‘94. Don’t think I’d trade in anything for the decades of appreciation I have for genuine talent. I’m a die hard metal head but you have to appreciate talent regardless of the genre. Truly appreciate your reaction-thank you. Pretty sure Mom was here watching it with me❣️🥰🖤
Iconic riff and that keyboard player is killing it ,you're right
Playing live in Adelaide this weekend I think tonight I think it is . , the surviving members are doing there farewell gig. I saw them last in 2019. . Great memories over the years .
It is so haunting...goosebumps too.
My husband just caught me watching the Molly Boy reaction on my computer instead of working. Hahahaha! Love your reactions, guy. By the by, I could be your grandmother. You're reactions are so fun to watch. Great job!
Probably one of the first songs learned by every garage band of the '60's and early '70's. So great to jam on
Learned it in the 90s in a garage band lol 🤘
@@tobaobokoomi1693 '73 for me
And every college student who wanted to play guitar learned these chords first thing!
That and WipeOut!
As an old timer (BOOMER) I must say I seem to catch myself stopping everything I was doing and tuning in to listen to this song every time I hear it being played.
One of the best songs ever written, crosses every generation still
The Animals were from the 60's. Also changed their name later to War. Check the Album-Sun Secrets. Has some of the best /famous songs on it.
My favorite Animals song is "It's My Life" and I'd be so happy if you gave that one a listen. Man, to watch you hear this for the first time and to see your reaction to it is wild because this is the music I grew up with and have loved all my life! Your videos continue to give me a new appreciation for this stuff. Thanks!
This is a pinnacle point in the career of The Animals. They were a transitional R&B/Mod group formed in 1963 and shaped the future into the '70s. It is a worldwide anthem and has cemented the group as an absolute legend.
This song was INTENSE and was considered a #1 choice of best rock ever (when Rock was fairly young)' also "Satisfaction," by the Rolling Stones (I can't get no).
It was an epic era to grow up; age 74
One of my all time favorite songs from the 60s. Absolute Classic! His voice is fantastic and this was before auto tune.
Yes, this song is 60 years old this year. The Band "The Animals" are a British Band. The "House of the Rising Sun" is about a house of ill repute - ie. brothel. They recorded the song in one take in a small studio in London on May 18, 1964. If you have an interest, look up the history of the song - it's very interesting. Love it!!!
This song has been covered-quite competently-over the decades, but nothing tops the original. And they're just standing there, bringing the house down. Another great video, dude!
They're from Newcastle on Tyne. I thought your reaction was spot on and genuine. Take a listen to Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Another great one from The Animals.
As ever, your reactions are infectious, informative, intelligent and so engaging. Keep this up, please.
This singer is a beast
This rendition that crosses generations.
The Animals are from Newcastle, but the song is an old American folk/ blues song.
I saw Eric Burdon a couple of years ago and his voice is still just as amazing... so freaking soulful.
What a great song this is. Unique, ahead of it's time. Opeth, ghost of perdition 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
one of the most common reactions to this clip is: "- where does this little man get that monstrous voice from??" talent, friends, just talent! 😊
