The tall bass player, Chaz Chandler, was also the guy who discovered an unknown guitarist in New York, took him to England and put together and managed a three-piece band around the guy. The band was called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They were pretty good.

Eric Burdon is one of the most underrated singers imo. This song is most definitely a classic but if you research his back story I think you will appreciate this even more. He had a horrible childhood and the fact that he survived and went on to become a legend is beyond belief. Just so awful… but he came out on the other side. ❤️Great reaction guys! Love it! Other songs to check out are Don’t Let Me be Misunderstood and We Got To Get Out of This Place.

Brian Jognson and his band Geordie did a cover of this song, and it was great, but it still falls short of Eric Burdon's singing. If you don't have goosebumps by the time Eric gets to the second verse, there is something wrong with you.

@markamos1911 Год назад

The house of the Rising Sun is believed to have been a New Orleans bordello. The song dates way back, with the earliest known recording, under the title "Rising Sun Blues", being released by Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Forster in 1933. The Animals discovered the song via Bob Dylan's version on his first album. The "ball and chain" reference is not to the narrator going to prison, but to him returning to a lifestyle he knows is destructive -- with the ball and chain representing his addiction to gambling, whores and alcohol. That's what the "one foot on the platform / one foot on the train" lines are about, the narrator making a choice to return to a life they know is bad for them. Many versions, including Dylan's, have the narrator as a woman, in which the return to New Orleans at the end can be seen as her making the choice to return to a life of prostitution.

The Animals were part of the so-called British Invasion of the mid - to late - 60s. Bands and acts like The Beatles (arguably the biggest of the bands), the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Animals, The Zombies, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and The Pacemakers, and more almost too numerous to mention. They were all either comprised of war babies or boomers, playing to the young and upcoming boomer generation (born from '46 to '64). Some of the best pop/rock music ever made.

"I got one foot on the platform/The other on the train." along with "wear the ball and chain" could easily be about losing a battle with an addiction. He knows it bad and doesn't want to, but he can't escape. There's a version of this song on RU-vid where the artists goes into Amazing Grace while keeping the melody of "House". It turns the song into a story of sin and redemption.

Epic! "The House Of The Rising Sun" was a number one hit in the US and the UK for The Animals in 1964. This song ruled the golden oldies stations I used to listen to on the AM radio back when. The Animals were part of the "British Invasion" that followed Beatlemania. I think you'd dig the groove of their song "Don't Bring Me Down" along with their version of Nina Simone's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". They're also known for the songs "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "It's My Life" and the gritty "When I Was Young". Their singer was named Eric Burdon (and he's still alive and touring). He joined the Southern California funk rock band War after The Animals broke up and recorded the superfunkalicious anthem "Spill the Wine" in 1970. After Burdon left, War went on to define the sound of the seventies with such songs as "The World Is a Ghetto", "Slippin' into Darkness", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer".

Old folk song. Originally written from the point of view of a woman who fell into prostitution, so the House of the Rising Sun was a brothel. This version supposedly came from Dave van Ronk via Bob Dylan. As an aside, the bass player, Chas Chandler, brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK, and the rest is history.

@NunYaO Год назад

Both of you were so close about the lyrical meaning of the song! However, I believe the "ball and chain" referred to in the song is that of marriage, not incarceration. The House of the Rising Sun, historically, was a brothel and gambling parlor in New Orleans. The main character in the song is relating that he followed his father's example of gambling and dodging his responsibilities until he got a girl in the brothel pregnant. Instead of continuing in the ways of his father, thereby creating another generation of the same, he is going to return and marry the girl...thereby ending the cycle. Great reaction as always guys!

I wouldn't necessarily say the ball and chain is a reference to going to jail the theme of the song is gambling the house of the rising sun is most likely a casino or gambling den the ball and chain is more likely a metaphor for his gambling addiction

@sterlingknight8087 Год назад

This is mid-60's British rock. The song is an old traditional folk song recorded by many, many people, including Joan Baez. There are really two versions, one for women, one for men. Thus the House is either a brothel or a casino. Eric Burdon is a monster singer.

The house of the rising sun would most likely be described as a house of ill reput like there was in the Old West. A saloon with drinking and gambling and a brothel, all in one. If you have seen the movie Tombstone, you would get an idea as it is depicted in the movie a couple of times. Just not the brothel part but it is understood watching the movie.

This song is in so many movies. It’s a testament to the staying power of the 60’s music. My mom played this song over and over…

Pure class. We who were there in the 60's were gifted a magical musical time.

@yorumsfield556 Год назад

Classic song. This song is from the 60s, a part of the British Invasion. So cool. I think you need to listen to Cold Chisel "Bow River" live 2013 I think? So freakin good! Thanks Gents. ✌

It warms my heart to hear you say you love and appreciate this music. I grew up in the 60’s and this was my music. I also lived in LA and saw many of the groups live.

The Animals were very popular in the day and had a number of hits....

@johnhardwick8771 10 месяцев назад

The Animals version was a cover, earliest known recording was in 1933. There is an Lp with 14 versions with different artists, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Woodie Guthrie and others.

Loved your reactions. This is an amazing song with amazing musicians and with Eric Burdon’s bluesy, kick ass voice. Love the cool vibe of The Animals.

Thanks so much for reminding me of this great song! I had it on randomly when play Red Dead Redemption 2 once, and it fit with that perfectly, old west vibe 😯 Smokey touched on points i didnt realise...what i got from it is that House of the Rising Sun was a brothel, and the story is about 200 years old, involving a girl?!. Leadbelly was one of the first to cover this myth/song, but Animals did the best version, hands down!! They are from Newcastle, northern England, and were up there with Beatles and Rolling Stones.

Interesting fact: Bassist Chas Chandler heard an unknown guitarist named Jimi Hendrick play in NYC, and brought him to London to help make him a superstar.

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

Their management dressed them up like the beatles, gave them similar hairstyles, and sent them over from England in the summer of 1964. (just before the Rolling Stones came over in the fall with Herman's hermits)

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

Elvis and Buddy Holly were in the 50s. The Beatles were the first "pop" group that wrote their own music and played their own instruments.

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

At this time the Beatles were on tour in the US. When they went back to London in the fall, the Stones needed a song to break in the US market. John and Paul gave them a Ringo song, I WANNA BE YOUR MAN and the stones took it to the top ten and broke into stardom.

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

the keyboardist got the royalties for the song, his name was listed first, and they only pay to the first name. Paul McCartney got pissed at all the songs that got indexed as Lennon/McC........ His name doesn't fit the register listing, so he got screwed out of a lot of earlier publishing money.

@etessier87 Год назад

I normally wouldn't suggest five finger death punch but they covered this song and it turned out really good 👌

@lindacoy7165 Год назад

Great song, so well known and covered multiple times. That lady at the beginning saying “What in the tarnation?” was hilarious.

@gingersnaptrack9337 7 месяцев назад

This is straight, with no tricks added in as all recordings have now to make tracks sound decent enough; just pure talent.

@cherylfisk7698 9 месяцев назад

Eric Burdon (lead singer) was only 23. The guy playing keyboard was Alan Price. He was playing a VOX Continental transistorized Organ, of which only a few other bands used, but I love the sound. And yes, they did this in one take.

“Playing the hell out of it!” Lol.

@johnrbreazeale7799 9 месяцев назад

I was 19 & in college. We played this song on our 33 rpm stereo lp's over and over . Great memories.

@ShanLH5 Год назад

I must be the only person on the planet who has heard this song enough for one lifetime 🤷🏻‍♀️ Great for everyone who likes it though

@strategicplanetxmuzik4384 Год назад

.....The Animals, The Beatles, the Kinks, the Buckinghams, etc. were all part of the British Invasion which was british rock bands entering the American Market en masse for the first time. This happened around 1964...

@WolfFX13 Год назад

This song has a long and mysterious history. No one know exactly who wrote it, the earliest recorded version that I've found is the 1919 Woody Guthrie version titled House of the Rising Sun Blues. But even then it was considered a 'traditional' song and contained a few more verses. This version is now considered as THE standard regarding this song.

I was born 1955 Lived thru all the iconic bands of the times Lotta great sounds Now it’s 2022 Getting old ain’t for sissy’s

@markmaloney3140 Год назад

The Animals have been a big fav of mine since I was a boy. Hollywood.... I do believe you were feeling a hippy vibe. Very cool.

@headrushindi Год назад

Hard to believe that soul was coming out of that baby faced young man .. Eric Burdon , was a great singer songwriter.This song was HUGE when I was two years old...but when I was a teen , and began playing guitar , it made a huge comeback. I can't tell you how many times I played this at a gig by request in my teen years. Great reaction.!! Great Memories. By the way The House of the Rising Sun , was ALL of the things you mentioned . If you wanted it , you could find it there.

@randybass8842 Год назад

I didn't see anyone mention "San Francisco Nights," another great song by the Animals. Worth a listen.

@sharonarenas6842 Год назад

It was a special time to experience these songs when they were first recorded.

@TheCornishCockney Год назад

Ah,the 60’s. I was 10 in ‘64 and soaked it all up,my mum was a hippy,there were weed plants all over the house,and the parties,oh the parties,and with the fantastic music on offer,we lived our best lives. The party continued throughout the 70’s too. Shame you were born too late fellas, It was an absolute blast.

@gbulmer Год назад

Great song, Great reaction. Smokey spoke exactly my understanding. When Smokey speaks, I listen! 🤔 Other well known songs (back in the day) by The Animals are "Don’t Let Me be Misunderstood" (written for Nina Simone), "We Got To Get Out of This Place", and "Don't Bring Me Down" (Gerry Goffin, Carole King). _The Animals "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place" on The Ed Sullivan Show_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PclhNB8BiwI.html Best Wishes, Guys. ☮

The birth of hard rock right here guys 👍 Kick-aaaaaaass! EDIT: The Animals are not hard rock per se but rather the next guys that were inspired by The Animals, among others, developed hard rock from this type of sound I would say
