Bill interviews Eric Burdon.

[lady12480]

wow now he's straight up g

[44musicluvr]

Still sexy Eric ;)

[ElectricBlueOil]

He also made pretty good music with War.

[thundercow1]

@ElectricBlueOil eeeeh as much as i love eric burden dont bring up war

[ElectricBlueOil]

@thundercow1 why not?! war transcended both musical and racial barriers with their musical sound. I mean, I may not know a whole lot about Eric Burdon himself, but give war a chance! 8=)

[thundercow1]

@ElectricBlueOil ya i hear what ur sayin but i tried to listen to war and its just not my thing

[ElectricBlueOil]

@thundercow1 no problem! 8=)

[fessormojo]

I interviewed him about his time working with Sonny Boy Williamson and he is a master (and accurate) storyteller. Someone should produce a TV show around him. His voice is an amazing sound for story telling.

[ArmedKnight9mm]

legend

[momoxoxo22]

He's got star trek ears. Also looks quite street smart.

[NPoetic]

He is old but the most good-looking old man that I have ever seen :-)

[pamaska]

I think he looks the same just older but still hot and sexy.

[JJAAAACCKK]

Pure Waahker twang.

[Pepilotaaa]

this is one of the reasons why i adore 60's. 60's musicians, they are still touring ( rolling stones, bob dylan, ect.) and their music are timeless, they made such a huge impact to the whole music history. I am wondering which bands from XXIst century will be still touring after 40 years and making amazing shows...hehe..now music is fleeting.. we have lots of things to choose but usually the quality and the content of it is very bad and superficial. ..so always keep our eyes on 60's!! :)

[vampyros1]

Well said Pepilotaaa...couldn't have said it better-

[JulianThomePictures]

Yes, the truth in a few sentences.

[ryaneburdon]

I totally agree

[anaMFchavez]

he looks completely different except his eyes, that would be the only way you'd know it was him!

[MsSmedley]

& his smile!!! (see UTube video "When I Was Young.") He still makes my heart go pitti pat! haha! I'd date him today if I had the chance. ;-) He was my heart throb of the sixties...but I was only 8-9 years old when he came on the scene..so I didn't get to go to concerts until Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath hit the concert scene.

[JulianThomePictures]

So now you have the chance to attend one.

[glimmer2158]

IMO he kinda looks like Mickey Rourke.

[MollyDollyMadGurl]

"have you been a bad boy?"

thats sounds rough!

lol

i love eric!

x

(but yh, not quite as hot now)

GARDENING!?!

woah...didnt see that one coming...

[highstrung78357]

[istolemycar]

[Pinballpete007]

Fantastic ! Glad to see Eric to still givin it after all these years.

[helenvon]

Funny how the geordie slips into american every so often.

[takeitorleaveit]

Wow. He used to be the cutest ever. Now he's...wow. It's just weird to see him old. But he's still amazing.

[crystalwaterstylee]

I know!

[sergioalonzo]

[pam0102]

[badskroy71]

what year is this from? 07?

[leitrim]

Yes Jan/Feb 07

[Pearldrop11]

Omg, he does look old and nothing like he used to but he still rocks.

[AchillesWar]

How are you gonna have a great blues/rock/jazz artist like Eric Burdon on your show and ask him how his plants are doing!? Come on... we wanna hear some old memorys of him meeting Jimi Hendrix... or him and WAR back in the day. but im so glad Eric is still around, and im glad hes not hiding under a rock somewhere. Keep soul alive Eric!! :)

[rkhobo]

This is very interesting but OMG- he got older!!! Why, why, why????

[blindacre]

yeah, but his voice is still as incredible. i saw him a few weeks ago

[ravenshire43]

Eric was the inspiration for 'the eggman' in the Beatles "I Am The Walrus". He and Lennon were knock around mates and Eric apparently liked to crack raw eggs over the naked bodies of the birds he happened to be with.

[thetimeiswha]

HaHHAhahahahAHaHAHAHHA

[Kegwithlegs]

I love these interviews!

[amosquitojustbitme]

when i was little i used to think he was black, but then i saw a recording of an animals concert and i realized he wasnt lol

[savvakissss]

:) I was thinking exactly the same thing about Janis Joplin! I couldn't believe she was white!

[Gothick49]

Great to see him looking so chipper and still keeping us swinging!

[caperboris]

Ahaha no wonder he looked so haggard (but still very sexy!) in that video...

And what the hell kind of accent is that?? I cannot figure it out... it's like British/Irish but not really... anyway who cares... Burdon is great

[bartez111]

THAT accent is called Geordie. Burdon is from Newcastle in England, where they have one of the most distinctive accents anywhere in the English speaking world.

He's lived in the US since the 60's so I think its great to hear he hasnt forgotton his roots.

[bartez111]

Other notable stars from Newcastle are Sting and Mar knopfler although Sting in particular has lost 90% of his accent.

[zapspace]

Brian Ferry, Chris Rea, Paul Gascoigne, Bobby Charlton: all from that region ...

[agentmiff]

He used to be so hot,

[driver793]

[blindacre]
