Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

More quotes by Eric Burdon
From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.
Eric Burdon
I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.
Eric Burdon
I tried to reach the combatants with my music. I tried to turn my anger into something positive. Myself, and others like me, just tried to keep rock and roll alive.
Eric Burdon
I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.
Eric Burdon
I'm really still a child of the Forties. I still think about it a lot, about the repercussions of armed conflict. Until 1953 we had rationing. We couldn't buy meat, we couldn't buy pleasurable goods like cigarettes and sweets. I didn't starve - my family were lucky - but I knew what it was like standing in line waiting for foodstuffs.
Eric Burdon
I don't think I've ever changed. I am only one person, it's just me. I'm confident and I'm quite happy with who I am, but it's my life and I'll be what I want.
Eric Burdon
This really blew my mind, the fact that me, an over fed, long haired, leaping gnome, should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
Eric Burdon
Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It's a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other.
Eric Burdon
In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed it will take your breath away.
Eric Burdon
In a nut shell, air travel is the worst part about touring.
Eric Burdon
Everything I do - if I do it, is going to be personal.
Eric Burdon
On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.
Eric Burdon
I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories.
Eric Burdon
If you think that UFOs will come and save you, don't be fooled. The Nazis invented UFOs.
Eric Burdon
I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn't afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles.
Eric Burdon
I may sing the same songs for over 40 years now but I always sing them in different ways in order to keep the excitement and passion alive.
Eric Burdon
As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.
Eric Burdon
The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldnt live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic.
Eric Burdon
The rock biz is the low end of the creative world. Faces come and go so fast.
Eric Burdon
My voice? Yeah, well, I used to drink a lot of beer when I was a kid and I sounded like a drunk in a choir. I don't drink anymore.
Eric Burdon
