HOLY SHIT IT! ITS THE FIRST TIME HEARING BRIAN WITHOUT HIS RASPY VOICE. HOLY SHIT! AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS HIM.. but at like after 2 mins i knew it was him.
This song has been claimed, stolen, passed along, & rewritten so many times its phenomenal, and this version is ok, they did a great job at it, but the version by the Animals will always be my all time favorite.
This is way better than the original. I also listened to the muse version which is SHIT. Brian Johnson simply rocks he sings amazingly powerful no matter what anyone says. this song proves it
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea Brian could sing so cleanly and softly and then go to straight out insanity!!! Definately one of the most underrated singers of all time.
Like the song the "Sloop John B" (Beach Boys), House of the Rising Sun is also a 19th century song, with its European roots to the 18th Century. So much for modern rock,lol.
No; actually, this song is a traditional song from New Orleans. The Animals covered it. They were the first Rock &Roll band to cover it, I think, but it was not their song. Joan Baez, has also a nice cover of the song, but I don't know if is before or after the Animals' one.
By the way, Bryan Johnson's voice with Geordie is unbelievable!
This is a folk song, which means hehe, actually noone wrote it, wikipedia states it come to America far from 16th century and was "adapted"... So, in fact there is no original available you see=)
Joan Baez made it popular even before the Animals. Probably someone else before. Personally, I like Geordie's. Some think BTO is the best. I disagree.
Wow! This is better than I thought it would be, even better than the animals version (they didn't write the song but they made it popular (I think, if not don't falme me, just correct me(Brackets within brackets!))).
dimitim3000: Are u kidding("defanitley[sic] the best version")??!!! NOT! The *best* & 1st version was definitely by "Frijid Pink " followed by "The Animals" in 1964! Please search the history of this iconic song before you comment!
This is definatly Brian. There is no way one of the best bands in rock n roll history gonna take a front man thats gonna butcher a song like this by screaming his ass off. Too bad Brian wasn't 35 years younger, he would have given alot of these younger singers like Chris Cornell a run for his money. Even if he would have been with a more popular band being in the time period he remains in, he would have given Robert Plant, and Bob Seger a challenge as well.
this is brian's normal singing voice. you don' t screech through your teeth if you sing naturally. bon, for example, sang like he spoke the words like in gone shooting, dirty deeds and in others. Brian really didn't have the ability bon had, but here, brian shines. I don't like Brian's voice w/ new ACDC- old ACDC is better with more old school feel and bluesy singing. I know people agree and disagree but it's true.
I'm not entirely sure if this is Brian or not in the beggining, but it definately sounds like it's him when the vocals get loud. Brian was such an amazing singer back then that it's hard to recognize his voice because it was so great. At about 1:00, it sounds more like him.
I had always wondered why the Young brothers were impartial to this man...I had always thought "ah...nothing special here" when listening to Geordie songs. But then I heard this...and it all made sense. Brian, you are by far one of the greatest rock singers of all time. This song alone shows me why he go the AC/DC gig. Now if only AC/DC could have performed this one in the early 80's...wow.
This is a very good version of a great song. I recognise Brian, of course, and as I remember the drummer is the bloke with the 'tache, but which one was Vic Malcolm, the guitarist?
fitted a windscreen in a car with his buddy, the next day auditions for AC/DC and then goes on to make an album that sells 50 million copies...thats rock n roll...and Brian ROCKS....!
