Eric Burdon - Interview 2010

[commonman80]

I tell you right now. The Band is Playing to High a Key for his voice. They need to bring it down a couple of steps to allow him to feel the music. It's clear that he can sing. However, He's singing to The Band. The Bands not playing to his voice and in his Key.

[frank47hammer]

Hard to see him as an old man. One must move on

[Tubemanjac]

He still has that great strong voice!

[galvinator55]

what do you mean he is an imposter,you shithead,you obviously dont regonise real talent,Eric is one of a kind at 70 still having a great blues voice,your just a little dick nobody

[DaphneRhiannon]

we'll take you anyway you are!

[Zippertheslipper]

Dang Eric dude, you just seem to happen at New Orleans at the wrong time, egads. Beyond that, a good singer and story teller you are in your music. ;)

[SunDrops4U]

Gee he looks good! I'm glad! Still sings good too.

[GetsumJ]

<-- The biggest Eric Burdon fan in the US. When I hear tha Animals, it's like I am 9 years old again.

[jakfuki]

Evil ears! LOL. Love Eric Burdon and the Animals.

[fran62ful]

now I remember these groups

[fran62ful]

now i remember these groups

[tobytwirl04]

LEGEND!!

[Ann3shoes]

He must have lived in the US for many years, his accent is now a kind of a transatlantic blend. Glad he's still rocking, he was the best.

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

@Ann3shoes I was thinking the same thing. To tell you the truth I never really knew where he was from, but I suspected somewhere in Britain. I like anything he does. Of course, I'm 67 years old too!

[shogunsan21]

Half Geordie half USA

[nylonTS]

I have just bought his mum and dads house

[cindygibbsbarfield]

i love this guy and everything about him....

[HDN1956]

He's the one guy I would hang out with for a couple of hours. He must know all and everyone.

[zeta7499]

pinche viejito ya les paso sus años gloriosos

[tappingstuff]

He has elfkin ears. Cute :) Maybe he's half elf and half human.

[antisharp84]

Where is the Animals?

[Ann3shoes]

@antisharp84 Two of them are dead, Eric's still around, as we see and so is Alan Price. Not sure about the other one.

[BradinPhilippines]

Still has all his hair!

[inspectorcritic]

IT JUST DOSENT SOUND LIKE HIM HE MUST BE A REPTILIAN REPLICA THE YOUNG BURDON NEVER FORCED HIS BREATH THATS WHAT MADE HIM SO COOL--THIS IS AN IMPOSTER.

[11DUSTOFF]

He went down to new Orleans.

[h3yd3b]

He is so great, I want to hear everything he sings, old, new, whatever. I want to hear more. I am so amazed watching this video because he is even better than ever. Eric, give us more!!!

[darlingirl143]

Have been crazy about this guy for 50 years!!!!! WOW, he still does it to me.

[mike300406]

i believe that this guy is still around because he doesnt smoke and stayed away from drugs

[GeorgeHarrisonIsSexy]

is it wrong that im fangirling over a 70 year old?? i think not!!<3333 LOVE YOU ERIC!!!

[TheBibleWitness]

"If I like it, I sing it."

Way to go! In my opinion, eclecticism is one of the things that makes an artist great. It seems pointless to allow yourself to be restricted by genre lines when you can do more. Its just another way big buisness keeps true talent out of modern pop music. Heres to Eric and all the true artists of the world who refuse to be cash cows for the music industry!

[drubedo]

I think what the great Eric Burdon is saying here is l'art pour l'art... art for the sake of art. The driving force behind any great artist. Mr. Burdon, you ARE your own genre!

[BradinPhilippines]

To the young people here.....listen to all the classics from the 60s, 70s ,80s.....then compare it to the "music" you have today.

[debgirl12000]

@BradinPhilippines PUHLEESE! There is no comparison to today's genre of musicians and voalists. They are a few who are really talented today, but most of them have been influenced by the past generations! I love these musicians of the 60's and 70's. This man had a soulful voice and could sing his ass off!

[puretroubleman]

@BradinPhilippines just because music has become more formulaic (is this a word?) today doesn't mean we don't have quality music still. our generation is more than capable of providing decent music, its just harder to find and the fanbase is not as big as it was then, its more diverse now.

[carino1983]

Great singer, what a voice!!!

[LGLG69]

Eric looks great--he's 70 years young!

[MsBebe1356]

iam going to see him friday!:0

[blueinfinite]

@MsBebe1356 good for you - he is great - i'd love to see him at some point

[skinmomz88]

I KEEP GETTING OLDER HE KEEPS GETTING HAWTER <3



[BeMyBelarus]

I just saw him tonight... he was excellent!!

[hearay1010]

he still looks good at 70!!

[chickenbutt6000]

@M4000D if he does, im so close!!! i need to find him!

[landeus001]

I love him. He's so gifted, talented, and unique. Even though he is getting older, he still has every bit of soul in him and it still shines just as brilliantly. What an amazing voice! I'd have his babies. Haha!!!

[pendragonU]

He is AWESOME>the real deal what "a singer" is

[plezhurhouse]

Thanks this is so awesome!

[manthasagittarius]

Damn, I didn't know he was still performing. "When I was young . . . she was brown, and I was pretty green . . . " :)

All power to him.

[stuart556]

glad to see he hasnt lost his geordie accent!

[TheTurtleOfTitch]

@stuart556 /watch?v=5d0VpapRIWc <- Where's the geordie accent here???? Eric sold out years ago to suck up to the Americans with his American Accent. lol. Good luck to him though, the guy has always been my favourite singer and like he says here in this interview, he'll do crap to make money. One day he'll get back to being a Jazzer.

[mistersmith6000]

@stuart556 Was just thinking. He sounds like the AC/DC guy, Brian Johnson, when he talks.

[LGLG69]

He's so cool. He looks great for 70 years of age.

[fuhrman66]

I had the real priveledge of meeting Eric in Peterborough On in a small bar maybe touen years ago..and this man is still so genuine and sings so much from the heart..

you are an amazing man Eric Burden and your friends in Canada love you

[amigodaonca]

He was 69 years young when this interview was recorded pendant le Festival de Jazz de Montréal. May his Northerner accent stay strong for many years to come. Cheers mate!

[SuperNova2176]

His so cool to have white hair he should dye it....cause his to cool!

[CherryAngelV8SS]

he has such a pleasant speaking voice, much younger sounding than his years, guess he took real good care of himself.....wtg Eric!

[TheEldoradoKid]

@CherryAngelV8SS Glad to know he still sounds great and is still kickin around. I have a couple of his classic early vinyl albums and I'll never part with them! They mean too much to me...

[JackLloyd17]

he went down to neworlines he said.. To the house of the rising sun..

[NPoetic]

he is so cool
