I can't believe this. I have known the Animals for 55 years, and the Stones with Paint it Black just as long. I have never heard the Animals do this song before. It's outstanding! Right out of the Psychedelic Rock sound!
From what I've heard from an interview on UK Radio Eric said he recorded the song 3 times, the communication between the bands wasn't rival and that he still sings songs from them
When I was about 15, I was at a party with a friend, and 'Paint It Black' was on. It caught my ear (mainly listened to Zeppelin and Hendrix back then), and I asked one of the guys who it was, and he tells me it was The Animals. When I'm back home, I'm going through my dad's old vinyl, and my mom's insisting it was the Stones. Turns out she was half right.
Once in a while the CZcams algorithm throws you something that you’re really glad to find. Like many others I can’t believe it took me so many decades to hear this performance for the first time.
Never heard this version of Paint it Black before. It sounds like something from an alternate reality. It's amazing though, thanks CZcams recommendations! Did something right today!
whoa...never heard that before...gotta love the Animals. This band was waaaay under rated in my opinion. Eric Burden's soulful voice is beyond amazing...
They wetent underated, you are just too young to know, for heavens sake one of them introduced Jimi Hendrix to the world stage, the others nearly all had sucess in the wider music business. Eric maybe less so after leaving the group...he had the group War
I loved his voice from the first time I herd him , the song was The House of rasing sun 1964 and I was lite girl 8 or 9 years old. I dont remember exakly when that song came ,I was born in the second half of june 1956. I still love his voice , this song give me chills he has always so much emotions and soul in his voice and this is more of it
What an awesome time to be a teen... I wasn't a teen till the 1990's, which was also a unique time. But I've always wished I could go back and see the amazing bands of the 60s and 70s. Hell, I would love to see the Big bands of the 40s and the jazz bands of the 20s!
I've been playing this song for 35 years. This is how it becomes fun. Perfect garage band music. Saw Eric Burden about 3 years ago. In his 70s and as fantastic as ever. Played all his hits
Eric Burden's vocal is epic, evocative, soulful and hahni in his interpretation of Paint it Black. One of the finest performances ever by him. Pure, raw soul. Hilton Valentine's guitar playing here is absolutely superb.
Just throwing this out. I understand that it was somewhat a rarity that the actual members of the band played on the albums. Dave Clark didn't play on their albums, etc. I was huge DC 5 fan in that day and to now know that......sheesh!, bubble busted. I even bought his signature drums (Londoner by Rogers), waaay back in '67, still have the receipt. I see that brought up a lot when reading about aspects of the music industry. Also the Professor of Rock interviews many old time rockers and it's very interesting the things that make you "crap!--never knew, realized that." Remember, just throwing it out.
Eric Burden and The Animals were an important part of the recipe that got us through Vietnam. Their sound still takes me back to days in combat that we thought would be our last days on earth. God bless this band for being part of the light that got us home. Vietnam Veteran 66-67.
Blues, rock and psychedelia all combine to make this an outstanding cover song. The British Invasion was an indelible part of my love for music and Eric Burdon and the Animals were central parts of musical history.
I was fortunate enough to meet Eric Burdon after a gig in the 80s...he was very down to earth, very easy to talk with. Considering that he is a legendary singer with a unique voice and style, and someone who had been famous a long time, it is not always the case that such an experience won't be awkward but meeting him was definitely a fond and memorable experience for me. Not just a pleasant person but also most intelligent and incisive. Mind you, had he not been, i would still be listening to his music because Eric Burdon is one of the greatest rock singers of all time. I never knew The Animals did PAINT IT BLACK before now but this is a great version of one of the Stones' best songs.
Eric Burdon just seems to embody all that is best about being a rock legend. What a life! He seems to have had a positive, creative influence on many many people. Of course I know he has influenced many people in the music biz, but the other day I stumbled upon how he was central to Graham Nash (crosby stills and Nash etc) getting into fine art by giving him a book of prints.
Hilton Valentines guitar intro is one of the best sounding things ever. I wish they got the proper amount of hype back in the 60s cause they were all so insanely talented
Paint it black apparait sur l'album "Winds of Change" par The New Animals, le nouveau groupe formé aux EU par Eric Burdon. Hilton ne faisait plus partie du groupe ! L'intro est de Weider.
The Animals had it all going on....exotic,ethereal,psychedelia,&raunchy,rootsy blues funk.Love how Jimi&Eric were close at Monterey (another great tribute to the other artists) Honored to share a birthday with Eric!
Hello 👋 Diana. How are you doing? Hope are you fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I remember The Rolling Stones' release from the time. I am pleasantly surprised that I have not heard this before. It is reasonably original in approach. Always been a fan of The Animals' singles, but I was too young to buy albums then.
I love the passion of this version. I was always so obsessed with Eric's voice though used to listen to Sky Pilot as a child on vinyl in the 80s and my Mom would say if it makes you cry stop playing it over and over...
@@zstopperunoof course she did she understood better than me but was a grown woman and not as sensitive either it was her record she had heard it more than I had.
С детства слушал эту песню в исполнении "Rolling Stones". Этот маленький винильчик вышел в СССР во второй половине 70-х. И никогда не слышал в исполнении "Animals". А интересно, аранжировка содержит много "психоделики". Спасибо! 👏
🎤😎Eric Burden is certainly the great voice of rock from the 60s... and one of the most important voices in rock n roll in general.. . the stones forgive me, but this version is the best ...
Listen to the Eric Burdon and War and he sings it similarly but, the band is so much more tighter with the horns and drums and harmonica. But, be prepared for a 13 minute version.
Great version of the stones paint it black. On a sad note, for the guy’s who fought in Vietnam alive and dead this song is for you. Words cannot express how I feel.
Awesome cover of an awesome tune!! Eric Burden has one of the best voices in rock history!! The Animals were a great great band!! So happy to hear this!!
Oh, my! I am today days old and hearing this version for the first time. I have only heard the Stones' version and was always like 'Meh, it's okay.' Never really listened to the lyrics. But Eric Burden's interpretation of those same lyrics and the way the instrumentation was performed gave this song more emotion and meaning than I have ever heard.
The Animals were one of the very most musically revolutionary groups of their time, which was a musically revolutionary era. I would say they and the Spencer Davis Group were the most creative, original and influential.
Yeah I think Micks theatrics stole many other singers thunder but Erics voice has always resonated with me personally. That era was not just the Stones vs Beatles lots of good tunes more depth of emotion than now I think too and more demand for real talent fakes did not last long then.

@@SteveArdire Burden's vocals are certainly better than Jagger's. No contest. Jagger is a smart guy who has been very successful but he can't sing for sh*t.
@@SteveArdireyeah, no. The stones version is a better song, its better structured and the instrumentals are more in sync with the vocals. I love the animals, and agree about burden being a better vocalist with a much better singing voice, but that stones version is so damn good, the song wants to go even faster, i think the unseen's punk cover of paint it black takes it even further with the passion and screaming, just wish they were more talented musicians. Really draws out the emotions. Ideally wed get burdens vocals with the stones performance with some passion during the "faster" parts from the unseens version.
I only remember this song as being done by The Rolling Stones, but while I was there my favorite Vietnam song was Eric Burdon ‘s Sky Pilot…and at 74 I still love it today.
I am speaking of the time period when he was performing and recording. I was a young man at the time and they were overshadowed by the big names, Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. Were you alive in the 60s?@@johnmalcolm9980
Remember that voice from the 60s, First-time hearing this great cover. Thaks 4 sharing. He was all over the Vietnam deal with his high visibility voice to the plight of our troops during Vietnam, As a Marine in that Time frame I have a great Fondness the Man even from the early Rising Sun Animal days.
Hello 👋 Elizabeth. How are you doing? Hope are you fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Era l'epoca dei geni irrepetibili del rock, i grandi gruppi della musica. Erano così tanti e tutti incredibilmente bravi che una classifica era impossibile da fare. Che epoca! ED IO C'ERO E L'HO VISSUTA TUTTA!
One of my most favorite bands in the 60’s ; The Animals! Loved their music. Even more now . House of the Rising Sun was my Favorite. Wow, what extraordinary memories us people who are now in our 60’s entering into our 70’s. Wouldn’t trade my youth for any of the young ones today.😊
You are showing pictures from the early Animals (1964 - 1966) The rendition on Paint It Black is played by Eric Burdon & The Animals (1966 - 1968). So it should be Eric Burdon & The Animals - Paint It Black, recorded in 1967. This has been played in one take, and shouldn't be on the album. They recorded it since the manager asked them to do so, but they never wanted it on the album, they wanted to do much more with it.
Did Eric etc al record the song with ALL of their hits because of Brian Jones death- do any fans know? I remember being pleasantly surprised; love Brian's sitar riff Namaste Z.
Yeah that was my first thought, why not the people who played on it, and they were dressed in another way at this time too, another image. But that set aside, you can look up a photo of that band and look at it when you listen to this video anyway. I will put a link under here where you can go, just under the top picture is a photo of them. In a band I was playing in the the early 70s, we played this version of Pain't It Black, build up so nicely with the drama; the recording that we listened to was the mono recording...it sounds more lonely and desperate to me, so I prefer the mono version...well maybe because it stuck in my mind from those days way back when...perhaps, the mono is better for me. Here's the link then to see the photo of the band that plays on the song : arthurfromholland.blogspot.com/2014/05/eric-burdon-animals1966-1969.html
As a 60s teenager. The Animals were my favorite group, and Eric Burdon WAS the ANIMALS! The most impressive of all the lead singers. Better than Jagger, Lennon, McCartney, et al.
@@mikefarrell734 But the point is not Burdon's voice quality but the whole song. It misses Brian Jones' and Charlie Watts' skills while playing their instruments.
@@christ.4977 Not my kind of music. This in my opinion is pure raw music. that's a bit more heavy metal ye know. More head banging shit 😂. Like some songs don't get me wrong but they don't have a voice like Eric. Nothing like it is a matter of fact and the music is totlsly different. Hard to compare them as if your in to that heavy metal or heavy rock whatever it is then your obviously going to pick that over this. I'm more in to my beatles, animals and the stones and even there version is way better. But that's just me it's not really my kind of thing. Did try and listen too it but not for me 😂
nope, the best version by an absolute mile is the rolling stones original. there is not single stones cover ever done by anyone ever half as good as the stones do it themselves, thats why there sre so relatively few done for such a massively famous band, same goes for zeppelin, just no-one can match them.
@@zov_fotografia Rolling Stones Paint it black was released on May 7th, 1966, and The Animals was first recorded on July 16th 1967. But released in 1970. It's not the original
scary eric burdon voice raising the dead or. just. the hairs on my neck, and so punk rock this music. fun fact : black and white are the original first colors named in any language , and so perfectly celebrated here.. whoa he just growled again as i am still listening ...
'i see those girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes' is one of the greatest lines in rock, pure jagger genius, ya just cant change it, 'people' falls flat / doesnt work.

Yeah Sky Pilot was an incredible song, loved it and still do too! I’m 71 now
Thank You This is the first time I've heard the Animals interpretation of this song, what a Brilliant performance ....
It was from Eric Burdon and the Animals "Winds of Change" 1967 album.
Eric Burdon is one of the most underrated singers of the time. Many of his songs are among my favorites.
not so underrated...best voice in Rock history
Underrated? Really?
When they were playing.@@seaglass22
I've not encountered anyone underrating him.
I am speaking of the time period when he was performing and recording. I was a young man at the time and they were overshadowed by the big names, Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. Were you alive in the 60s?@@johnmalcolm9980
The combo of this dude's voice and skills singing is amazing. Great version of a great song!
Eric has a brutal voice, i love
Definitevely, for my ears, the most bad ass singer of this period. My dream ? Link wray on compo, burden singing on it
He and Jim Morrison (the Doors).
👍
He reminds a lot of the lead singer for CCR
@@michaeltischuk7972 John Fogerty
@@valerycharles6007 for sure
Remember that voice from the 60s, First-time hearing this great cover. Thaks 4 sharing. He was all over the Vietnam deal with his high visibility voice to the plight of our troops during Vietnam, As a Marine in that Time frame I have a great Fondness the Man even from the early Rising Sun Animal days.
This just reminds me why I love cover versions, superb vocal performance
Sounds like sitar and very slight psychedelic influence. First time I've heard this. Eric Burden is such a powerful singer.
It's the post-Alan Price line-up, a bit more Burden-centric . . . .
@@johnminehan1148 Why is the guitar player behind him on the right always smiling, almost like he's laughing?
It was from Eric Burdon and the Animals "Winds of Change" 1967 album.
Haven’t heard these guys in a long time- heard them on the Ed Sullivan show way back🤩🤩
Hello 👋 Elizabeth. How are you doing? Hope are you fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Era l'epoca dei geni irrepetibili del rock, i grandi gruppi della musica. Erano così tanti e tutti incredibilmente bravi che una classifica era impossibile da fare. Che epoca! ED IO C'ERO E L'HO VISSUTA TUTTA!
Siempre original e innovador grupo. Como todos ellos (los grupos de esa epoca). Atemporales.
One of my most favorite bands in the 60’s ; The Animals! Loved their music. Even more now . House of the Rising Sun was my Favorite. Wow, what extraordinary memories us people who are now in our 60’s entering into our 70’s. Wouldn’t trade my youth for any of the young ones today.😊
LOVE THIS BAND..... THANK YOU ♥️♥️♥️🎹🎶🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁📱🎶🎵🎼🎤🎤🎤🎤
just love this version ..transformed back to being 16 without a care in the world
Great version … Eric Burdon is so underrated… But the Stones’ one is so bluesy and oriental in the same way… masterpiece !
Eric Burden has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard 🫠
Truly epic!
To me Burdon always had that look of a kid about to throw a rock through some grumpy old mans window
I love how it feels like it's improvising the lyrics is incredibly funny and amazing how good he is at improvising
I’ve never heard their version before today. It seems lm not alone. Love it.
It was the Animals and the Kinks for me, when a kid, not the Beatles. Met Eric once. He's truly cool.
Kinks are a very slept on British band. Sunny afternoon is one of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion
Boa noite Eric você é demais suas músicas são maravilhosa Bom dia fiquei muito feliz ABRAÇO
obrigado, sonia, toda a equipe te manda um abraço, im used google translate
Yes Eric Tudo beng
I didn't know this version. Damn, the 60s had the pop explosion!
Windsofchange
This version is much darker and jazzier than the Stones' version.
The way a cover should be; they made it their own.
Jamás había escuchado ésta versión, muy interesante.
Saludos desde México
Esta canción es la original los Rolling Stones la copiaron.😊
@@fabianguevara5026 los autores son; Mick Jagger y Keith Richards.
Incluso, existe un video, dónde se ve como va evolucionando la rola
2021 and still is a peace of gold this song
This a very cool cover. I think I need to look into this band more. There is a soft punk vibe in here.
Google "Sky Pilot".
Soft? For their time, The Animals were punk monsters.
drums and guitar intro are just insane - just as it should be.
You are showing pictures from the early Animals (1964 - 1966) The rendition on Paint It Black is played by Eric Burdon & The Animals (1966 - 1968). So it should be Eric Burdon & The Animals - Paint It Black, recorded in 1967. This has been played in one take, and shouldn't be on the album. They recorded it since the manager asked them to do so, but they never wanted it on the album, they wanted to do much more with it.
You're right!
Did Eric etc al record the song with ALL of their hits because of Brian Jones death- do any fans know? I remember being pleasantly surprised; love Brian's sitar riff Namaste Z.
Yeah that was my first thought, why not the people who played on it, and they were dressed in another way at this time too, another image. But that set aside, you can look up a photo of that band and look at it when you listen to this video anyway. I will put a link under here where you can go, just under the top picture is a photo of them. In a band I was playing in the the early 70s, we played this version of Pain't It Black, build up so nicely with the drama; the recording that we listened to was the mono recording...it sounds more lonely and desperate to me, so I prefer the mono version...well maybe because it stuck in my mind from those days way back when...perhaps, the mono is better for me. Here's the link then to see the photo of the band that plays on the song : arthurfromholland.blogspot.com/2014/05/eric-burdon-animals1966-1969.html
Here's the mono version : czcams.com/video/U4Q8hbweCH8/video.html
This song was actually recorded in 1970 it's Eric burden the band WAR
As a 60s teenager. The Animals were my favorite group, and Eric Burdon WAS the ANIMALS! The most impressive of all the lead singers. Better than Jagger, Lennon, McCartney, et al.
THE ROLLING STONES IS THE BEST.
GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
But the Rolling Stones are the only Rock band that still exists, as Jagger answered to McCartney's criticism.
@@billroyal942 True, they have had amazing longevity, but I’d still choose Burdon over Jagger. 😊
Jagger was once quoted as saying he considered Eric as the best vocalist in England
@@mikefarrell734 But the point is not Burdon's voice quality but the whole song. It misses Brian Jones' and Charlie Watts' skills while playing their instruments.
When Eric Burden opens his mouth, I believe him.
😄😄😄
STILL THE METALIC SPATIAL SOUND OF THE EARLY 60S.
Beautiful version with the great The Animals
Grande Burdon, intentè colarme en los 80 en la sala Universal para verle en concierto y me pillaron, no pude!. Una voz que me acompaño en mi juventud.
I'm glad I found this. Never knew they did a version, after all these years.
It was from Eric Burdon and the Animals "Winds of Change" 1967 album.
Unbelievable version
First time I hear it
It just grows on you from second one
They really owned this song. Amazing cover. Thank you.
Eric Burdon's voice is so soulful. Always fond of The Animals and what he did with War. Love "Skypilot"!
Simply amazing. Best version of this song by a long shot!
You haven't heard the Agony Scene's version then.
@@christ.4977 Not my kind of music. This in my opinion is pure raw music. that's a bit more heavy metal ye know. More head banging shit 😂. Like some songs don't get me wrong but they don't have a voice like Eric. Nothing like it is a matter of fact and the music is totlsly different. Hard to compare them as if your in to that heavy metal or heavy rock whatever it is then your obviously going to pick that over this. I'm more in to my beatles, animals and the stones and even there version is way better. But that's just me it's not really my kind of thing. Did try and listen too it but not for me 😂
czcams.com/video/WeZhZbbusfU/video.html
nope, the best version by an absolute mile is the rolling stones original. there is not single stones cover ever done by anyone ever half as good as the stones do it themselves, thats why there sre so relatively few done for such a massively famous band, same goes for zeppelin, just no-one can match them.
No conocía esta versión, mi primer disco que tuve y tengo todavía de los Stones. Como siempre fenomenal la voz de Eric Burdon.
He puts more heart and soul into it than Rolling Stones
Eric Burdon what a gifted voice . Very few can match his voice.
His voice, all those minor-key songs, even when I was 10 the Animals were cool.
One of my favourite bands covering one of my favourites songs
Wow!
Mick Jagger was reciting the lyrics, Eric's passionate delivery sounds like he's lived them.
Eric definitely has a rock and roll voice!
Can't beat the original Stones version, but they did something very original and compelling here. Awesome!
this is oryginal, ver Rolling Stones is a copy
@@zov_fotografia Rolling Stones Paint it black was released on May 7th, 1966, and The Animals was first recorded on July 16th 1967. But released in 1970. It's not the original
Animals band very underrated now in this era .
Respect 🇪🇬
What an awesome cover! Never heard it before, but a great interpretation.
It was from Eric Burdon and the Animals "Winds of Change" 1967 album.

scary eric burdon voice raising the dead or. just. the hairs on my neck, and so punk rock this music.
fun fact : black and white are the original first colors named in any language , and so perfectly celebrated here..
whoa he just growled again as i am still listening ...
Wow, he was a Necromancer? I had no idea.
As much as I love Tutto Nero, this just vibes with me so much more.
'i see those girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes' is one of the greatest lines in rock, pure jagger genius, ya just cant change it, 'people' falls flat / doesnt work.
I think it references an Irwin Shaw short story
They covered this song in spectacular fashion. The Stones' version is a tough act to follow.
