The Animals, like the Beatles, also took their sound from Delta blues as well as the Nashville and Bakersville sounds. When I hear a bunch of fogies (I can say that now, I'm 30) talking about the music of today like this, it makes me wonder where they were during the 90s. I'll probably be saying the same thing in 20 years. But the truth is, some works of art have staying power, and some don't--even in Soviet Russia. There were plenty of 1960s bands that are no longer around.
@ joao43123 To me its what your grew up with and at some point your brain registers something as sounding good. If you grew up listening to bands like ac/dc, metallica, gnr etc whether it be because of a different era or different circle of friends or different parents I believe your taste in music would be completely different. Yes music artists are there too make money but its not because people cant think for themselves its because that is what sounds the best and makes them feel the best.
@thetruthisoutthere32 The problem is exactly what you said, music became an industry. Its a product like anything else. People dont make music because its good today..they make it for the money and for the terrible taste of the majority. Not saying they didnt do it for the money before..but they had also other priorities.
@joao43123 - I can't see how they can even sell most of the crap that's being produced today. Are people really deaf when it comes to quality and substance? Or is the problem that people have become such sheep that they'll buy whatever is marketed towards them? Or has the agenda to degrade, debase, and dumb down the population become an overriding consideration even above that of profits?
@thetruthisoutthere32 I think its kind of all you said..its impossible to have an agreement about the reasons why people became "deaf". But i believe that one day music will turn back how it was..once i've heard a guy saying that music is like history and we are in like the middle age..someone just gotta break these patterns we have today. haha i found it crazy, kind of dumb, but cool.
@joao43123 thats also a good point... people get so used to current music that its hard to invent something different. I had a band a few years ago and i remember how hard it was to create a good rock n'roll song..so we made a song but it was kind of hardcore (by that time my friends were big fans of that style)haha and i really hate that.
@joao43123 - It's pretty cyclical. It ebbs and floods. But there is no predictable regularity. We just happen to be in a serious dry spell right now, at least I hope.
Why is it that virtually all of the good music can out of first world countries? Have we crossed the threshold of oppression where it the kind of cornucopia of expression we once had has become impossible. Are we tending more towards the "former" Soviet Union and China, where it becomes a complete anomaly.
man i like how Eric Burdon Voice in this song make this song sound darker its the same thing with Johnny Cash everytime his voice got darker so did the song its really cool
For you young people.....bring up all the revolutionary songs of the British invasion of the '60s......then the American groups that caught on and took over the 70s & '80s minus fricking disco.....and enjoy what I lived in my youth.
@Trojanman152152 .... BS... This wasn't even \written by the animals... it was an american songwriter... the animals just got it via there producer and consequently released it first.... to say it is about the animals leaving Newcastle is ridiculous... where do you get your facts, clearly not from anywhere reliable - try looking it up next time before making incorrect statements and misinforming more people!
If you like the lyrics to Eric's songs then you may very well like KOZMIC DREAMERS whose artistic vision and expression, defines them as one of a kind. Buy one of the songs or poems on iTunes.
Every one of you has a voice. If you are young, use your influence to change your world! People think because they are young they cannot do anything about the things they find wrong in society. But you still have your life ahead of you, you have the most influence. (In fact, an example would be music. the music industry is curved towards YOU now). you have a voice in you for a reason. speak up. the world won't change on its own. do your part, love the one you're with :), and be the movement.
They were the first band I ever saw in concert. Hermit Hermitts was opening act. I remember wearing my cobalt blue granny glasses. Later in life I would come to meet & ride with Eric on the Famous "Love Ride" from Glendale, CA. While waiting for the Love Ride to start, we were standing around talking. I had to tell him he was the 1st band I was to see in concert. He just laughed & said your making me feel old kid. That year of the Love Ride I think I might have won the egg toss.
@joyhaydon Great memories indeed. I had a friend who just saw him play up north. He said the group put on a great show, like he hasn't changed, even though he is now 70 yrs old.

@BarrioPunkRock short, tal, fat ,thin it's all relative, but the VOICE so powerful, nd delivered apparently without any effort. What happened to him anyway, alive? singing? gone? Anyone?
In basic training in 1967 we'd play this when we could and we knew we had to get out of that place; it was a relief to hear these guys shouting about it....they were on our side.
@IMadeThisForRock I understand if you lived in that time period. I cannot argue against that, everyone has a home. But what I don't understand is how everyone treats that time like a great period of social acceptance, and love, when in fact, so many had to fight for it. And when you compare that time to this, it almost seems like we need another grace period, another progressive movement like that. We need to root out the corruption from politics, stop the rape of earth, and get our country back
Who in the HELL disliked this? 20 cases of teen angst out there, apparently. This song SLAYS. It cracks me up to watch Eric belt out this song with so little apparent effort.
I'll admit this is a ripper version of a ripper song, but I reckon The Angels version is better. So much more energy provided by Doc Neeson (One of the all-time great singers) & the Brewster brothers!
@pupsmaschine I suppose being married & having teenage daughters can test ones sanity, but I think I've come through ok!I was merely expressing an opinion(They are like arseholes- everyone has them!)!Just because my opinion is different to yours doesn't make me more or less sane than you! I DID say the Animals version was a ripper(Great)I was basing my opinion on hearing both versions over many years! If you are basing your opinion without listening to both versions it proves you are a WANKER!
@pupsmaschine As I mentioned earlier, Opinions are like arseholes- everyone has them! I DID also mention that I liked both versions. I am glad you did listen to both versions, as that was my concern- that you were basing your opinion without listening to both. If you have a different opinion to me, fine. That doesn't make you better ir worse than me! You telling me to get a life , however shows a distinct lack of maturity on your behalf!
I was born in 1982 and because my parents were awesome about music i got to experience a lot of different kinds. I have to say that The Animals are one of my favorite bands.. i love all the bands from that era, i swear i must have been reincarnated from some one in that time.... Eric Burdon has such a great voice, love him!!!
i love this too. always have. i kind of think these guys were better than the stones, but got some bad managers and breaks. i have this on cd too and a bunch of other songs of theirs as well. i love listening to these old songs - these are good. what ever happened to music? my old hippy mama died. now i am dancing alone.
@thierryhotdogboy they look like the beatles, but they are DARK. any dark music that has existed in the last 40 (actualy 50 now) years can be blamed on them. and when i say dark, i mean Dark with a capital D.
This has currently become one of my catch phrases in this world we live. Grew up with the Animals, but wasn't a big fan until now. You who didn't grow up in the 60s and 70s, you don't know what you missed. The stuff that passes for "music" nowdays is lousy.
I used to listen to this song when we boarded Chopper's headed for the Bush ! It always fired me up because i knew i was headed for Hell in the Rice Paddy's and the Jungles of Vietnam ! Thank You Animals !
Hope you tube realizes that there are alot of people who will pay bucks to own these recordings again...I still have many albums and have people bugging me all the time for them...If I didn't I would definatly be visiting amazon and probably will soon.I don't have everything.Thanks for the song and video...Kate

I was born in 1982 and because my parents were awesome about music i got to experience a lot of different kinds. I have to say that The Animals are one of my favorite bands.. i love all the bands from that era, i swear i must have been reincarnated from some one in that time.... Eric Burdon has such a great voice, love him!!!

i love this too. always have. i kind of think these guys were better than the stones, but got some bad managers and breaks. i have this on cd too and a bunch of other songs of theirs as well. i love listening to these old songs - these are good. what ever happened to music? my old hippy mama died. now i am dancing alone.

@thierryhotdogboy they look like the beatles, but they are DARK. any dark music that has existed in the last 40 (actualy 50 now) years can be blamed on them. and when i say dark, i mean Dark with a capital D.

This has currently become one of my catch phrases in this world we live. Grew up with the Animals, but wasn't a big fan until now. You who didn't grow up in the 60s and 70s, you don't know what you missed. The stuff that passes for "music" nowdays is lousy.
