In memory of guitarist HILTON VALENTINE (1943 - 2021) and bass player CHAS CHANDLER (1938 - 1996)
✿ܓ✿ܓ✿ܓ✿ܓ✿ܓ✿ܓ
January 29, 2021 - Very sad news that legendary guitarist with The Animals HILTON VALENTINE has died. What can you say about this man who gave us so much in the world of rock n roll... it's hard to summarise but he was a beautiful, great, influential guitarist who blessed us with his talent and flair with so many unforgettable and legendary performances. Chuck Berry (!) once described Hilton Valentine as "a wildly exciting instrumentalist", absolutely yes! there was so much more to Hilton than House of the Rising Sun, please check out Hilton's stormin' performances on album tracks and live performances and you would soon hear why Chuck Berry would acknowledge Hilton in this way. Let it Rock! Hilton, we loved and admired you and forevermore thank you for all your innovative contributions to rock n roll and for your presence. Rest in Peace and Love Forever! (From your loving fan, Magusmagic).
ERIC BURDON has paid tribute to his fellow band member - 'The opening opus of Rising Sun will never sound the same!... You didn’t just play it, you lived it! Heartbroken by the sudden news of Hilton’s passing. We had great times together, Geordie lad. From the North Shields to the entire world...Rock In Peace'.

I'm 73, remember when this song came out and loved it. Older boomers had the privilege to grow up in the 50s, 60s, 70s etc. with the birth and development of good of rock and roll, back when musicians and bands loved what they did and didn't depend on crazy stage set ups, especially on tour. Love the animals: Don't let me be misunderstood, Don't bring me down, it's my life, when I was young, we gotta get out of this place. Eric Burden went on to work with other groups that were great: Sky pilot, spill that wine, warm san franciscan nights. He has such a great voice.

I'm 72. Our garage band played this in '68 for the local March of Dimes Telethon. After we packed up, we stopped at a local bar for some water. When we told the bartender what we were doing out there, he invited us to play for the bar. We unloaded, set up in a corner and played a few songs for them. They all told us how good we sounded. We left feeling really proud of ourselves. Man, did we ever suck! But it at 16, we thought we were it! Love the memories!

LYRICS : There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he'll be satisfied Is when he's all drunk (solo) Oh, mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one

My grandpa was huge fan of Chuck Berry and told me (multiple times) that he was there too.

My father was a sailor. He was nine years old when this masterpiece was out. He loved it and he was listening to it in any possible way he could. He was the person who taught me to appreciate this kind of music. Pink Floyd, Rainbow, Zeppelin, Animals. The last years we've been living apart, he didn't have access to the internet so I've been playing this song at KZbin and put him on speaker. He was always singing along. This song kept him company through his childhood, his adult life and his last years. Now that I lost him, it keeps me company. I've lost him a month ago and if it was allowed by the church, this is the song I would choose for his memorial. I hope he sings this song wherever he is.
