Talk:Eric Burdon

message: There is no such place as 'Walker-on-Tyne, Northumberland'. Surely this should be Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne which, incidentally, isn't in Northumberland.

message: I read a biograsphy of Hendrix and it said that Eric Burdon told a newspaper that Hendrix had intentionally commit suicide, can anyone corroborate this?
In Eric Burdon's biography called "dont let me be misunderstood" i think he wrote about Hendrix being "accidentally" given too many sleeping pills by this parisian girl... He blamed the girl for Hendrix' death, and if im not mistaken the girl was investigated.
No. 
Hendrix died while sleeping by choking in his own vomit. This was due alcohol plus barbiturates simultaneously.  Normally, when a human is sleeping and a vomit (e.g. due alcohol) is  coming up, the person awakens. This way the vomit comes out in a controlled way. But sleeping pills prevent the person from waking up. Therefore, if vomit comes up due alcohol or whatever,the breathway clogs and he chokes. 
The post-mortem confirmed that Hendrix aspirated his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturate.  This is a common knowledge, and is reported e.g. in Hendrix' wikipedia article. 188.238.3.211 (talk) 20:56, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Hendrix' "suicide"

message: I added a cleanup tag.  The Animals part is confused because it presents a partial mixture of the UK and U.S. sequences.  It would really be better just to refer to it with a .  The post-War part is very confused, because it mixes Animals reissues with Burdon solo works; it's impossible to tell what's what.  Wasted Time R (talk) 21:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this new interview with Eric Burdon. He discusses the various phases of his career, including his time fronting the Animals, WAR, and his present musical endeavors. I would like to recommend the article on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine it and—if he or she sees fit—post it as an external link on this page. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! Mike harkin (talk) 17:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the message. I've added the link. I couldn't figure out when the interview was published/took place, can you please add that to the external link. Also it looks like some of the info can be incorporated in the article and used as a reference, but I'll let someone else do that. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 17:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Great job JTSomers & Tunebroker (and others) 

message: Don't know whether this is of any importance anyway, but there is a wrong link in the section "Bo Diddley" to american musician Carl Carlton. This note rather refers to german guitarist Carl Carlton, whose birth name is Karl Walter Buskohl and who is the father of the mentioned Max Buskohl. There is an article (stub) about Carl Carlton (German Musician), but I didn't manage to change the link. Could anyone take care for that? Besides, I don't see that this has anything to do with "Bo Diddley" and thus should be removed from that section --91.89.49.20 (talk) 12:36, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Please see other bands' articles, as with the Snow Patrol, to add the ultra-numerous list of names of members and former members for a timeline. Otherwise, the article is so sectioned that it's difficult to add photos or sound clips. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 04:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The side-bar with 'former members' seems extremely cluttered, and not really correct - should they really all be regarded as former members of some entity ? -- Beardo (talk) 23:35, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too many members

message: On the page for "I Am The Walrus," the Beatles' song, it suggests that perhaps Eric Burdon (he apparently claims so too), is "The Eggman." It would be nice to see if the editors of this page could clear this up on Burdon's page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.199.100.223 (talk) 17:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In the BBC documentary Eric Burdon: Rock ‘n’ Roll – Animal, broadcast on 28 February 2020, Burdon recoints a quite different version of the anecdote during a live staged Q&A session, saying that he smashed the egg into someone's bottom during an orgy he attended with Lennon. Back at home, however, his wife Marianna, off camera, asks him why he didn't recount the "more accurate" version, in which he simply cracked the egg onto someone's back. One is left wondering if the incident ever really happened at all, or whether (perhaps with the help of Lennon), he imagined the whole thing. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:12, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

In 2004, in his album My Secret Life, besides presenting the song composed in partnership with the Brazilian rocker Marcelo Nova "Black & White World", Eric Burdon shed to the English and re-recorded two songs of Marcelo Nova:

message: The original BBC iPlayer programme here is no longer available. There is a copy here. Burdon makes the claim at approx. 1:23. Perhaps it's a fiction. Perhaps there is a better source. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:21, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
