@@Kevin-hn6wp AMEN, BROTHER ❣️🇺🇸💯🙏

OOHRAH

My grandfather served in vietnam he was Us army 235th infantry

@@baconhair9675 I think your Grandfather for his service. OOHRAH from an old Marine.

Lucky boy...great uncle Eric was a helluva looker..

Cool👍

Does he have much of his rock and roll money left?

How cool.

👏❤️😄 awesome

putinhead's tactics: Send your troops in with no water, food or fuel for a return trip and tell them to conquer the country or die. Send the grunts and junk in first to be sacrificed for putinhead’s oligarchs. There is no way for the Ukrainian people to win this. Either live under Putin’s thumb or see their country turned to rubble. Putinhead has both the strategic and tactical advantage as Ukraine is bordered by putinland. What putinhead wants is total control of the Black Sea. Turkey is on putinhead’s radar. Black Sea liquid natural gas terminals are being planned that could supply eastern Europe with more western natural gas. This was all a done deal between Adolph putinhead and agolf twitler the treasonous traitor while they were in Finland together for their secret meeting.

@@tinyrockyplanet8953 his term authority meant he was a true leader in his era he had earned his own mark in the music industry with his music. he truly had an aura all his own dont make it about you

he is! he is Eric - the rock god - Burdon to me. There is no better.

Makes Mick, John, Paul, Ray,Dave and the rest look foolish

What movie is this in?

That was their gimmick. Eric didn't like to dance

In the early 60s the TV was even more conservative than it is today. The producers always told the R&R stars to tone it down to a white homogenized frequency. Lol lol. You will note that all the wild stars would give a conservative performance. Look at the Beatles, Stones , Yardbirds, the were all so well groomed that every single hair was in place lol. This performance by the Animals is actually wild for the TV fashion of those days.

Good crops

What's really funny is, this video is from a movie.......a movie that Mystery Science Theater 3000 mocked and mocked well!

This was my Vietnam song,1967-1968

Yeah ~

You realize a teenage boy can do a deep voice, right?

he was 24 years old

Yep! I'm 70 AND I say the same all the time

I’m 70 now too! The era of timeless music!!! Nothing has ever topped it! 💕

@@beckywheeler9372 The Great 60s the only trouble is we are old old.

I'm 70 also Best music ever Love eric ❤️

Me too! 🇦🇺

Boy, tell em

Was so shocked when I heard years late the ring of fire was written by Jonny cash! For me it will always be the animals!

@John Napier What makes you think I don't buy music or don't know about great musicians? I do. Eric Burdon's voice is still special to me, regardless of how many other great musicians there are.

Guy Béard

and like me he too has asthma I don't know how he did for so many years

That's exactly what I was thinking they all looked like kids, but they were all in their late 20's at this point. Such a remarkable voice that Eric Burdon has! Will never be replicated!

a kid with a voice of 40 years man, amazing Eric

Consider the era war torn etc. Kids grow up fast around that sort of thing.

yes he is amazing!

@@JimmysViolinBow ele era lindo

How are you

I hope you are having a good day. Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming? If I was in a nursing home and I hadn't heard of it, I might consider taking it up as a hobby to help pass time better.

Truly do envy you bro. This country artistically peaked 1957-87 IMO.

​@@markwinchester3005 I think the some or the 90s music doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves. The genre of grunge, for instance.

So have I! Left school 1965.

My twin brothers went to nam they made it home thank goodness

My father and uncle both served there. Unfortunately, my uncle didn't come home. In remembrance of gunnery Sgt James Davidson KIA khe sanh republic of Vietnam.

Kevin Davidson God Bless him.

Halsted Willoughby thanks for his service!

My grandfather was in Vietnam

Never heard of that jagger guy 👎

They were both great....yes

Damn right. Karen Sweatman

Yes, Burdon every time!

@@christinejameson5221 hell yeah

Only entity on earth who threatened your Freedom was uncle Sammy. Since 1791 it is all BS. Sad, but true.

GOD Bless you Keith - thank you for your service - Eric was an old soul - a voice of a 50 year old belting out of his young body - back when music was so much better - Kansas, The Eagles, the Zombies for sure - so many great songs - so many lost - BTW I am Canadian - we are having our own issues with Justine up here too - this revolution is worldwide - we will get there

i served 13.5 yrs and would do it again. i love this country with all of my heart. would have served longer but a disability took that away from me

@@evilzu3005 seems everyone exits either poisoned or physically or mentally impaired.

My uncle served in the us army in Vietnam too. Father's brother

kool

yer eveyone in walker had powerful voices, ye see 20 thousand ship yard workers, the noise was incredible, riveters, 24hours a day, except sunday.

That scream he does raises the hair on the back of my neck every time.... XOXO 💋

Absolutely my favorite singer of the 60's

yah i can hear it...he can go deep with his voice...such range

Autotune and rap ruined music!

Well, it was "Priceless" when Alan left. But know what ya mean.......

@@JO-ly3hi Every generation says this of the generations to come. I doubt your parents were any different.

@@coolguy132435 -not necessarily true. My 95 year old mother likes this stuff better than what they were playing in the 1940’s when she was young. Good is good. Mediocre isn’t......

You should have to know that he's using American accent.

I was 9 yo when Vietnam ended, but I have 100% respect and appreciation for what you guys did for us over there. Thank you for your service.

also a favorite at LZ max

i think the Beatles are the most over-rated band in history, and have done since i was a child in the 70's. The animals are a league above them in every way as are many other bands imho.

Well said. Everybody is forgotten, just him now. I first heard Eric Burton of the Animals over the radio when I was 12 (in Hong Kong). I had no idea of what he was singing then. But his VOICE was MAGICAL. He was calling out ... calling out... Now, I am 72 years old, I understand. I comprehend what he was singing. His voice is the only meaningful connection of the past 60 years I've lived.

@@ravenmasters2467 I agree.

let’s not slam bands that inspired eachother in music culture??

@@ravenmasters2467well I have to agree with u I think the Beatles are really the most overrated band period of all time there music sucks there’s better bands that are way better then the Beatles first The Rolling Stones amazing band they have been around way way longer then the Beatles made better songs and albums the song satisfaction was a big hit all over the world 1965 the stones have been around for 60 years now the Beatles they were only around for 8 short years what in the hell did the Beatles do in 8 years well they hardly toured the Beatles haven’t toured since 1966 and they only made 13 albums the stones were already a big touring band in the early 70’s while the Beatles broke up another band that’s better then the Beatles is The Dave Clark 5 glad all over knocked the Beatles I wanna hold your hand off the charts in 1964 I think the animals are even better then the Beatles

Jerry Watkins You realize there actually are more words, right? Your comment isn't original.

+John Startop neither is yours. what's your point?

stfu dawg ooooooh

@@LorenzoDoesntExist why do morons like you always have to start shit?

Man you have 666 likes !

VERY COOOL! Lucky you !

That would be really cool to meet him. His music is so good.

Such a cool story. I live in Vancouver myself

Wonderful!

Good golly miss molly WHAT I woulda done to see or meet him!! I loved Eric sooo MUCH!!😍😘

So refreshing if a new band with the same looks, energy and 60's style songs were to appear on today's stage.

He sure is,,,a PowerHouse! 😅

And jazz.

​@@jgstargazerwhat you don't like "b***es in the club" or "watch me degrade myself?" Those are works of art 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😆

YES! 💯

True

Newcastle, his birthplace, is coal mining .

I don’t know about the US, but I think maybe most British rocks stars coming out of the 60s and 70s were working class. Being in a band wasn’t really something folks with means did back then.

For real!!! What a doll he is.

How did Sinatra's voice come out of a 98 pound scarecrow (when he was still young).

@@Cryptonymicus Yeah, but he was a crooner, wasn't he.

Some people are just blessed with talent.

I still asking me that!

THE Vietnam THEME SONG. I saw Eric Burdon at the Fillmore West in 1971. Good guy. a regular guy.

What a great fit to our feelings we damn sure wanted to get out of that place and all joined along singing it as loud as we could wherever is was heard on the armed forces radio and we were in a place secure enough to play a radio it drove the lifers crazy when we sung it FJB FBO VOTE TRUMP !!

I hope the Afghan vets also feel this way.

"Down in Monterey" is one of my favorites! So is "Warm San Francisco Nights."

Better than the beatles or stones...by far...

House of the rising sun as well!

I don't know how you think Sky Pilot has been overlooked. I've sung it so many times for older people and I've see their tears...and mine. Don't think your tastes are for all.

Maybe they did deserve more, but they got PLENTY. This song was huge.

Everyone knows HOTRS but i just discovered or was informed that GFR Inside looking out was an animals cover Now that really messed me up. now im on an animals role I was quite young here so i cant help my ignorance . Better than the Stones and the Doors both I need a Drink Bartender make tha t a double with a toke

@@garywillingham3644 I used to think of The Animals as nothing other than another one hit wonder band until about 2 years ago when I really dived into their material. Check out TheAnimalsVault on youtube, he has some great audio and video clips of the Animals.

@@QueenFan12 thanks for the heads up ill check it out

Dude I've been playing this Every week driving to work 👀

Ok I'm down. Let's call radio stations and request this song oh wait do they still use phones 👀 fuck man I don't do social media

Thankyou for your service brother 😊🙏

Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you were ordered to make.

Chas Chandler, had high potential, as a Music 🎶 Director and Producer, It's too bad him And Hendrix could not get back together and work on the 4 Album...

Add to that list Dave Rowberry (July 4, 1940 - June 6, 2003), aged 62. Not a founder-member, but replaced Alan Price on keyboards from 1965 and featured on several of their best-known hits.. That's him playing in this clip.

I remember seeing this as a kid on our black and white TV, I think this is from the movie IT'S A BIKINI WORLD.

Chas was an EXCELLENT Bassist and way ahead of many from his era,....

👍 Right now all of the attention is on House of the Rising Sun, but Hilton's guitar made it happen on this song.. Also on Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood 👍

RIP 😢🙏🏻

@@marivg8948 i thought it was Eric that passed

@@rhymeswithsomethingy4766 They got so many great toons but your right they are all over House.

@@rhymeswithsomethingy4766 You are right, we tend to forget about the lesser known songs, that sometimes are greater than the better known ones .. Peggy W.

You havent seen him sing Boom, Boom. He is moving and he knows how to dance.

@@kathleenmuchka2559 I bet he can dance really good what do you expect from the coolest dude that has graced our planet. Really back in the 60's the first time I saw the animals on TV I was just a kid and I thought he was so f ING cool. I really do remember telling g my dad I wanted to be like Eric Burdon. His reply was you going to be a damn pot head . Lol

@@kathleenmuchka2559 Just watched it. He is a good dancer.

The way that he looked at the camera... All the heartache... And all the anger reflected in his eyes..

Semper Fi Brother

1959 - 1973 until even now. the Vietnamese are more American than the Commie leftists. They fought against then and, now.

Don't forget Cu Chi tunnels, Quang tri Provence which included "pinkville". Vietnam Vets know what i'm talking about.

Hey pops, I'm a 17 years old little man loving The Animals' music. I assure you people my age still listening to these kinds of music. Now, I didn't want to be impolite. I don't actually speak English so I don't really know if I said it OK. I wanted to sound "rebel" but I don't know how to do it because I'm not like that. Pops is like little grandpa or something like that right? In Spanish is "Abue" or "Abuelito" which means, as you can tell, grandfather lul. Heh, I'm embarrassing myself writing this so take care.

@@ismaelmeltgomez8662 your English is great! Btw i’m sixteen listening to this to!

Yep Charlie...I can definitely relate...

Yes! That's true!

I was 10 also and I have a violent father. I loved this song for that reason. Now I just love it.

My wife had an abusive, selfish, miserable, bastard for a father. Her mind blocked out her entire childhood...Mine was so different but I seldom mentioned it since it hurts her to try and think back...I hope you were able to overcome that start and yu now enjoy a fruitful life.

Me to my old man was a violent alcoholic I was 9 years old when this came out and boy it fitted in with my life back then, Eric still has that voice today hugely underrated

@@gordonhutchison9647 Totally understand came from the same place

Me too.... I was just 7.

And he was also the manager of Jimmy Hendrix legend mate pure and simple

@@raymondgriffiths9409 No, that was the bass player Chas Chandler who brought him back to England because he wasn't appreciated in 'murica! He played with Eric Clapton at one of his 1st gigs over there and it is safe to say he left a fair impression and formed a band with 2 English musicians!

Brilliant lyrics

He was around 24 in this clip.

Great song from the best. Eat your heart out Jagger...

Same here. 70-71 Bong Son....We Gotta Get outa this place............................

I was in SE Asia in the 60s, but not in Vietnam. "We Gotta Get Outa This Place" was called the unofficial anthem of The Nam for the American GIs. I also enjoyed "Sky Pilot". I think the name goes back to World War 2 and refers to the Padres who offered comfort for the poor fucks who had to go out and kill or be killed. As an Air Force guy, knowing my kind were dying in SE Asia, it was pretty intense.

Holy crap! True legend in the music industry!!!

What a fucking talented genius he is. So raw and from the tried and raunchy and groovy omg I can't believe it's taken me this long in lockdown to get to this place 😱😂🤖🤷

Month of the Snake (Taurus) Year of the Metal Snake 1941. Another Double Snake is Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Holy crap, where did the years go ? Eric, 79 ?, tell me it ain't so.

I think they are lip syncing this performance. I think that was common back then. There is no way those mics would pick up those voices that powerfully from those distances. In the studio, they would be right up to those mics.

Miming

He’s lip syncing for the video.

Me while watching, FROM

I learn this music from my mother (she is 76, and I am 49) and I still love this music. She has hundreds of LP's records

Eric was the very definition of cool! 😎

I do and I'm fully into it right now. The song just pooped up in my mind cause I have to get out of this place, left no other choice than living at my old dads house dying of loneliness and dust and shit at the age of 40 and a dad twice as old. Hopeless situation. But this song says it.

Me sir!!😅

That's so cool. Thanks for sharing, and THANK YOU for your service 🇺🇸 🙏

Ha that's badass

Airborne

I perferd to paint it BLACK

They play it in Vietnam movies the song always reminds me of that

Funny to think that the band hailed from the north east of England Newcastle upon Tyne. Such an American sound encapsulated.

it could be but if it is then Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a close second

C5Ron7 yes. Amazing. I remember . Thank you for remembering .

I wouldn't walk away.... I'd stay and listen forever.

It IS. In 2004 it was ranked number 233 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list; it is also in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

They were and still are to stupid to know that

Only recorded for 2 years mostly covers or out of the Brill building

I'd go so far as to say Eric has the greatest voice in history

I hope you've bought him some shampoo, so he can wash his hair occasionally. Unlike Eric...........

Very good boy.

Hey another Scott here! Born in '55 grad HS in '74 musician from '70 to the present!! So glad 'Nam didn't kill you...keepin' the faith, Jose!!

Thanks for all your service

I'm an ex royal marine. Always a pleasure to meet a brother. Even though different sides of the pond. As you were marine

John; I salute both of you...no Pond exists when it comes to brothers in arms....cheers mate!!

Thank you for your service. My dad was a Korean War Vet, he talked a "little" about his combat experience and not much at all about killing, North Koreans or Chinese. I was so proud of my dad. So I joined the USMC (73-77), years later he told me he was so proud of me. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sgt...OUT

I tried to talk to my dad and grampa about their experience in the war and they never would talk about it. When I came back home, I understood a lot better. We sat down and still did not talk about it, just sat together, and it was just understood. Some things people just have no reference to understand ... and would not ever really want to know, truth be told.

Vietnam vets usually only talk about Nam to other Nam Vets I'm sure he was really proud of you.Thank You for Your Service. May he rest in Peace DL Nam 67-68

one of the last times I saw my uncle before I moved across the country we both just sat there we both knew and understood, I sit here now at home and try to get out of my own head, with so much going on in the world just wish it would all so down, I will stay home for a long time now

Sorry to read your message, with 2ww was the same: never heard the experiences from actuall men
