FIRST TIME listening to THE ANIMALS - House Of The Rising Sun REACTION

[@joancurrie6748]

You should write and record some music, being grom the era.

[@dariowiter3078]

Exactly. 👍🙂

[@laupstad]

It was all "one take" back then. Perhaps not the first take, but the best of 4-5 takes with the whole band playing at once. No edits, cuts or layering. This is the whole band in one studio playing and recording the whole song in one take. Back when musicians needed to have skill and the ability to jam. Not just a producer that could cut and layer recordings to make it sound good!

[@DeValiere_]

Nah, this was the studio recording. I think the video is from a movie that was made to support the "British Invasion" bands and this was The Animals contribution, but don't quote me on that. The footage has been used on KZbin and matched to the studio version because its film quality. Certainly can see they're miming not least of which given none of the guitars are plugged in. There are however some examples of them on Ed Sullivan etc where you can barely hear them for the girls screaming in the audience lol.

[@grapeman63]

This was shot in a single take ( no editing). The reason the guitar player behind Eric Burdon has a big grin on his face at the end of the song is that while they were slow walking around the edge of the set singing the song, the crew moved Alan Price's organ, from the back to the front of the set, with him still playing it!

A timeless classic right out of the golden age of rock music. This song was amazingly recorded in one take as the band only had enough funds for one session.

The Animals went on to become one of the British Invasions most popular bands, along with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Saw Eric Burdon and his Flying Eye Band about 20 years ago at the Mushroom Mardi Gras in Morgan Hill, CA. Since it was a small gig, he came out an hour early for sound check and just hearing him warm up his voice 15/20 ft away gave me goose bumps. Played this song, Sky Pilot, Monterey, Spill the Wine and many other Animals hits. Pals and I were tripping. Awesome singer and funny too. He was well known for his use of psychedelics so, since it was the Mush festival, he would stop after every four or five songs and ask, "So, where are the mushrooms?" He hung out and signed my CD after and talked to those of us who stuck around for a little while. Great time.

The song "The House of the Rising Sun" is a traditional American folk song with a rich history and deep symbolism. Here is an analysis of its symbolism: "House of the Rising Sun" is generally interpreted as a metaphor for: 1. House of Prostitution - The place represents an environment of vice, perdition and moral decay - It symbolizes personal ruin and the destruction of dreams and hopes 2. Gambling House/Casino - Represents temptation, gambling addiction and financial ruin - Symbolizes how addictions can completely destroy a person's life 3. Prison - Can symbolize a place of physical and emotional confinement - Represents how certain environments can imprison and limit people 4. Allegory of Life - The song tells a cautionary tale about life choices - Illustrates how wrong decisions can lead to self-destruction The most famous version, recorded by The Animals in 1964, transformed the song from a traditional folk song into a rock classic, amplifying its symbolism of personal tragedy and doom. The song essentially functions as a moral warning about the dangers of destructive paths.

[@vicprovost2561]

Eric Burdon is an utter legend on lead vocals, this is in 1964 so right at the beginning of music beginning to really matter for me. They have some great tunes, try We Gotta Get Out of This Place, when you can. Bass player Chas Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix in the NY music scene in 1966 and brought him back to London to form the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the rest is music history. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎤🎹🎸🎶🔥

[@DavidMelissaHope]

When I finally got into music, 11 or 12 years old, I was hooked. Radio stations overplayed any current music. I wanted a wider range to select from. Found Led Zep and such.....then I stumbled upon this classic in my quest. I, wrongfully, judge any new music I hear to this one. All songs, imho, should grab your attention like this one. It told an interesting story and the bass and lead, with those drums AND that keyboard. If forced to pick one song to listen, repeatedly, it would be this one. Glad you gave it a try and could appreciate it. Keep going, deeper, into "older" music. There's SO much waiting for you. I can appreciate the skills and nuisances that modern artist put out, but this, this was four instruments and a voice, recorded on equipment that probably had glass tube fuses inside. And, here it is, still grabbing our ears, sounding powerful and dangerous as ever....

[@JaredJenkins24601]

[@StanSwan]

This is a cover of an old American blues song. It was recorded in one take for about 10 pounds and was a number one record. Chas Chandler the bass player discovered Jimi Hendrix and was his manager when he made his first two albums. Eric Burdon, the lead singer is who John Lennon was referring to as "the egg man" in the Beatles song "I am the Walrus". John Lennon and Eric were friends and Eric told him about a groupie that broke an egg on his private parts when she "pleasured him". The song has a line about yellow "man custard" kind of gibberish up. I guess John liked the idea and had a groupie do the same for him. John called it "the song about nothing" but he was married at the time.

He was another country singer that died young back then though not in a plane crash but a car crash. He was married to the widow of Hank Williams Sr who overdosed in a car not many years before.
