These guys should be the mascot for this sub. They’re so incredibly old school cool.
I love this so much! Rock stars, combed hair, suits, and good music
The singer here was apparently the eggman in the Beatles song I Am the Walrus.
To this day nothing looks better than a Mod suit.
Epic of cool!
Love Eric Burden and love that song.
Love this sounds
Great singer
If anyone else is confused. The Nina Simone version you’re probably thinking of came out the year before this.
This version just doesn’t sound right to me
Josh Homme?!
thank u for this
Great song
Interesting how Cage the Elephant captured that vibe in the song Cold Cold Cold.
And no lip synching.
Better than Beetles IMO. I’d scream like a little girl too if I saw them live back in the day (am dude)
Feel like the animals were pretty underrated
The organist is Alan Price and he appeared in the Bob Dylan documentary Don’t Look Back which was filmed shortly after this. He had just left the band and you can see how bummed he is about it, even though he tries to act like it’s not a big deal.
I’ve always wondered. Is this song about a domestic abuser apologizing for beating/hitting his wife?
Eric Burden. Still sings blues great.
This was incredible! Thank you
Never realized that Stephen Fry played in the band 😜
RIP Pieface
Oh LAWD!
Fantastic group. Graduated high school in ‘67,
House of the Rising Sun was my favorite. Our
local garage band played it always last at the
school dances. Slow and close, damn, those
were the days.
I just realized that the actor who played Druig in Eternals looks like young Eric Burden
Love this song 🎶
A friend and I found them downstairs at their hotel and had breakfast with them in the café. A different world.
Hmmm, nice.
I saw that, way back then. It made me a fan o f theirs, I still am today,
Love the 50s/60s “just put some geometric shapes on there or something” approach to stage design
I only knew the Santa Esmeralda (kill bill) version, I had no idea this song was made by the Animals
Eric Burdon in the 60’s will always be one of my celebrity crushes.
Is that Donnie J Trump on the frickin Bass?
The drummer couldn’t be doing any less work could he
And with social distancing already. These guys were way ahead of their time.
Is this a cover? I thought this is a Nina Simone song.
Upon my own research intact it is a blues rock cover.
At the first 2 second i thought that was the beatles
So cool, dark, and dare I say, sexy 👌
If I didn’t see this post and only heard the song I would have thought it to be the Doors
If they came to the scene 10 years later, I feel they would have been one of the leading punk bands. They were obviously way way more edgy than most in 1965.
Roy Keane on the drums there. Good man Roy, well played.
What a legend.
I like how Chaz Chandler is a full foot taller than Eric Burden.
‘The Animals were so called because they were really ugly, and if you’ve never seen a photo of them imagine tattooing a picture of Jimmy Carr’s face on Jimmy Naill’s scrotum.’ – Mark Lamarr, a fan of The Animals
