THE ANIMALS “HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN” (REACTION) 

It’s an Organ ! 😆 thanks guys 🙏✨💕

2021. RIP to Hilton Valentine. Iconic guitarist of the Animals. We will never forget your fantastic guitar riff. 😎🙏

I just love the fact that someone so young takes such pleasure in really good music

i personally think its one thee greatest keyboard solos ever

Possibly the best rock video ever! The vocal, the organ solo,the guitar,the attitude,the tides!

Price's organ perfectly complements Burdon's vocals

That song was recorded in one take, now that is talent!

the singer was 23 when he sang this - sounds like 23 going on 50 LOL go watch Eric Burdon sing it in 2011... it sounds even more bluesy and sad because he's older now... he aged like fine wine

The Animals were a great group that was part of the 1960's British invasion onto the Rock scene. This song done back in 1964 is just one of social consciousness songs that many groups were writing about then. I cannot believe its been 56 years since I first heard this song back in 1964 as a ten year old boy. Now that I am a 66 year old senior citizen...The song still rocks me to my core. I consider the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in rock and roll history. Great post and reaction.

Real music here. Whole band arrangement. They don't make em like this anymore Pure Talent

Loved this when it came out in 1964 and still love hearing it. Other hits by them, "San Franciscan Nights," "Please Don't Let me be Misunderstood," "It's my Life," "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," and many more.

The guy playing bass here became a talent agent who brought a then-unknown guitarist named Jimi to England, the rest is guitar history

They came down from the North by train to London to record this in just one take, it cost £30.

My all time favorite song. I love Eric and I adore his voice.

The 13 people who hit dislike on this were, presumably, disappointed not to see a video about how to construct a sun-deck on an east-facing property.

Never cease to chuckle at Hilton Valentine (the guitarist) who has decided to smile at the end of the song. You can imagine the Director going 'Hilton, this is a serious subject... Hilton!...'

When Eric Burdon was in The Animals, he looked like he was 12 years old, but he sang like a man--he was (and is) a tough hombre. Great reaction, Shiloh.

Amazing how many “reaction videos” there are to this song from’64. The set, the suits, the stone cold stare and performance by Eric Burden. Also one of the most recognizable keyboard solos of all time. I was 10 when this came out and I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show. Still one of my all time fav songs.

Animals bass player, Chas Chandler took Jimi Hendrix to London.

Love this song, Animals sung it the best. By the way, your smile is so contagious, I was smiling all through the video because of you.

I love Eric's voice! It's so strong!

The lead singer looks like a school boy. Someone u would see on the bus. With a huge voice. Nice reaction

Love this song soo much. One of the best songs. He is so talented

It's about a house of ill repute in New Orleans, "it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God, I know I'm one..." The song that put Eric Burdon and the Animals on the map. Arguably one of the top ten landmark rock and roll songs in history.

I was 9 when this was released in '64 LOL. I remember it being played on the radio. Yes I'm old LOL.

Aww snap! Happy to see you reacting to this, the Animals have quite a few amazing tunes. Have a great one!

the keyboard player alan price was really groundbreaking at the time [1964] because up until then the organ just wasn't heard in rock songs. he MADE it cool. and he is still around at 78 years old. wow where has time gone ? i was 11 when this song came out and it was responsible for us starting our first junior high rock band 2 years later. playing bass still !

really nice to see a new generation discovering such classic music! so many bands and singers out there waiting for a curious mind to find them all over again :)

Shiloh.... This is an all-time classic 🤟😋

Always fun to watch Shiloh's reactions. I remember hearing this song when it first came on the radio back in Chicago. I don't think a month has gone by in all my years since, that I haven't heard this song played at least once.

I always loved this song but to see the video was even better. I like the way they all stood in line and followed the singer around cryptic. And they all killed it on the instruments. This will always be one of my favorite bands and on my playlists

My most favorite song ever. Love it. So glad you reacted to it

This is a classic this was way past your time. I had the album when it came out which makes me really old. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Love your reactions.

Haha OMG This was the music I grew up with in the 60’s and 70’s! Thanks for playing it again! Great lyrics and beats!

Hi Shiloh, just found you today. Love your reaction to one of my favorites. Plus u are adorable. Can’t wait to see your reactions to my 70’s music!

You can tell it's a British band by the way he pronounced New Orleans.

Eric Burdon (the vocalist) went on to form the band "War". Their tune "Spill the Wine" is worth a listen, anda reaction.

I just subscribed because I really enjoy your enthusiasm for all types of music & you seem like a cool lass to hang out with & listen to tunes with. Your positivity is so needed in these tough times, thank you. Cheers, from the middle of nowhere in Australia

I saw them in concert my senior year. So much fun! Thanks for the memories.

This is a beautiful song second to none. It is so great it is beyond belief.

That wasn't a piano lead in, Darlin', that was a REAL guitar player playing a real guitar.

Amazing little island of britain producing such genius

Northern British lads interpreting the roots of American music?....It`ll never catch on. 😆

I envy you experiencing this great song for the first time. I remember the feeling it gave me when I first heard it. Still get it just not as intense as when I was a kid.

In the 60’s several British groups had an affinity for American soul music (Animals, Rolling Stones, Beatles). The Animals pulled this version off pretty well. You do a great job. Keep up the good work. Take care. Be safe. Blessings

The lyrics of a song can be interesting, puzzling, poignant, inspiring, positive and they are often a big bonus. But...it's the music that brings you back and it's great music that never gets old. One of my favorite musical genres is Rap and of course it's all about the words... with a beat thrown in.

When I was a kid I always used to listen to the "oldies" station on the radio, mostly because it was the one station the whole family could agree on, and this was always one of my favorite songs.

Happy New Year Shiloh!!!! Keep on rockin' :)

Lead guitar played by Hilton Valentine.Hilton died today Jan 30 2021 He was 77.

The singer collaborated with 'War' (Low Rider) for some great music. And the bass player put together the Jimi Hendrix Experience!

When I was a baby, my Mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby to get me to sleep. Now, that PROBABLY explains alot about me, but I like to think that it explains how fucking AWESOME my Mom is. 😎 Thanks for doing my Mom's favorite song, and one of mine too.

This video just popped up - The Animals “house of the rising sun” is epic!!!! Shiloh is beautiful. ☮️

Really cool to hear. Thx! From 1964. I remember when it was a hit on the radio. That was the first song I learned on the guitar in high school in the late 60s!

That guitar riff into plus the great organ solo plus the vocals of Eric Burdon= A TIMELESS CLASSIC

What I like is you appreciate music that is beyond your years. Thumbs up for that.

1964 before auto tune they killed it ! Avi Kaplan did a cover of this with only a guitar and a cellphone record it and still can not believe it

Legend has it this song was recorded in one take. Apparently they had been touring pretty relentlessly and had performed this so many times it was just dialed in.

A Leslie Hammond organ! They have a rotating horn that’s very cool

Guitar kicks off,voice Eric burdon, drums, that keyboard player kills it. This well organized every band member carries this song, that why it such popular song in days back then because animals blew people away. Bring it on home to me great song too.

#when this generation starts listening to their grandparents music... this is what happened to me when I was 7 years old - I started listening to big band music from the 30s and 40s when I would go stay at my grandparents house in Brooklyn NY for the summer! Good times

Ahh love this. Mom used to listen to this song a lot and everytime it came on we sang it together hehe

An English group that knew and lived the "Blues" back in the early sixties. This song was "my' song" in my first group. I was a B3 organist and singer... and this was my favorite. Eric Burdon was the leader and lead singer for the "Animals" and also a group called "War". That organ solo was top notch for it's time and blended a little classical with blues!

Thank you for reacting to this incredible song.

The bassist, (Chas Chandler, kind of bigger guy), later managed Jimi Hendrix!

Love your reactions....you cover all my genres...Old old school to country to my high school days....surviving my kids music in the '90s...thank you!!!!

This is certainly a classic by anyone's standards. I am old enough to remember the British Invasion and this band was one of my favorites. They did a lot of blues standards of which this is just one! Great band for sure!

This was one of my favorite songs when I was in high school. I have always loved slow dancing.

Me and all my friends who were learning to play the guitar had a goal to play the guitar rif from the beginning of this song. Anyone who could play the introduction to "The House of the Rising Sun" had more success with the girls.

I wouldn't exactly call Eric Burdon's voice "clean" -- more like "dirty, gritty, and awesome!" LOL. I'm really happy you reacted to them. Good job. :)

Excellent choice I must say!!! And as always, you look amazing dear! 😍

The bass player for The Animals was Chas Chandler. He was the manager/producer for Jimi Hendrix early in Jimi's career. He saw Hendrix play in a small club in New York and convinced him to go to England where Hendrix became a star.

I watch You at 6am, watching you this music video and enjoy it like a little kid. Best regards! I am from Poland btw. ;-)

You are doing awesome I love your reactions keep up the good work

That was Alan Price on the organ. He went on to form The Alan Price Set and had a number of hits, plus wrote film music (Oh Lucky Man), and formed a duo with Georgie Fame called The Price of Fame, if I remember correctly.

I remember going to school the day after first hearing this, and we were so excited by this song. 1965(ish)... I was 16, 71 now... and it was so different. In Britain we had only Radio Luxembourg for pop music, where they only played the first 80 seconds of records in half hour programmes, and most sings were little over two minutes. This was around four and a half minutes long. It was amazing! If you want some suggestions: Ode to Billie Joe - Bobby Gentry - still makes me shiver Time - Pink Floyd - watch a video with the words attached. It’s about.... Life! then the following track - Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd - just a female voice... about Death Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bledding Queen - official video Bohemian Rhapsody The Eagles - Hotel California Dolly Parton - Jolene A real mix there for you to try

I love that song. Thank you for the reaction.

The chap playing the electric organ is alan price he had his own band after the animals very talented love your reviews very much 👍👍👍

The keyboard player was a guy called Alan Price, one of the best organists of all time. He went on to form a band called the Alan Price Set and subsequently duetted with Georgie fame on a couple of albums. Check out his version of "I'll Put a Spell on You"

the lead singer of this band is Eric Burdon-you should check out the song he did with War in the 70s. It’s called Spill the Wine and it’s my bf’s fave song ever.

Ever heard "Time" pink floyd. It was the first tune I heard on a stereo. My friends older bro bought the album when it first came out, I was 8 ...never heard a stereo before... blew my mind

60s classic rock is a golden era, like mid to late 90s hip hop. There is a gold mine of great music in both eras. You cant go wrong diving down a rabbit hole of either.

Fab Gear - The song is a very old Blues/Folk traditional that possibly originated in England with different lyrics, though a similar theme. It was being performed in the US as early as the 1850s. It's been recorded by several artists before The Animals, including Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan. During the huge Folk music movement in the UK (they called it Skiffle) of the late 1950s, Lead Belly's large catalogue of music was heavily mined by the acts of the day. Most likely, this is where The Animals heard it and adapted it into their Blues Rock style. The House of the Rising Sun is basically, a brothel, and the song has also been sung as a warning to young girls that it's not a place to end up. In this case, the House has been frequented by the person in the song and has led him down a path of ruin and self-destruction. It's exactly the right sounding song for The Animals, reflecting their early life growing up in the coal based area of their native Newcastle. A hard life that led them to their love of the Blues and their 'growly' sound. I'm glad you like this song, Angela. It's a classic, for sure! One of The Animals' best tracks

This song, band, and Eric Burdon were ahead of their time...hands down! His voice don't match his looks and age.

Eric Burdon was only 23 years old when he sang this song! Most fantastic version ever. Each and every band member were really talented!

I Love your reactions to this song. Amazing host and amazing song!

Us Brits produced some of the greatest bands in 60's and possibly the 70's 🤣

my father had the idea to use this tune to back amazing grace, he used to play the guitar and my mom would play the organ. It's an amazing version. There are some artists who has since recorded it.

how is everyone finding the animals in the last month????? were all of them under the same rock? I'm happy more people find good music but i have found like 7 channels so far this month, this is fishy... one of guy found queen, elton john, the animals and aerosmith in the same week and didn't had a heart attack...

Great video love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌

Loved your video of my favourite song from the year i was born

The song is about a brothel in New Orleans named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors. Great song

GREAT REACTION JUST SUBBED CANT WAIT TO WATCH MORE

Undoubtedly the best rendition of them all.

This is the first song I learned to play on the guitar when I was a teenager in the 60s great reaction thanks

There were several places in New Orleans that may be the "original" House of The Rising Sun: one women's prison, 3 or 4 brothels in as many locations. Addresses are available pretty easily online.

It is a brilliant piece of work, their best song.

The Animals were an ENGLISH group. Alan Price played an electronic ORGAN. Saw him on stage in Manchester, England. Think he later formed his own group. I have the 45 record and an LP of the Animals.

of course you havent heard of them. Im 50 and this was even just a bit before MY time...but I still knew it. I love how open you are to different things and how well you accept them and appreciate them. Great reactions ALWAYS

This BAND plays together FABULOUSLY. And this support gives ERIC B. the chance to sing with all out, amazing abandon!

I was 16 when this song was a BIG HIT . When i was 17 i learnt to play the guitar . Every new guitar player i new had to learn House of the rising sun of course.
