Eric Victor Burdon (May 11, 1941 in Newcastle, England) is a singer. He formed The Animals in 1963, a blues rock group who were one of the early influences of punk rock. They were known for their organ-guitar sound and Burdon’s aggressive show performance, screaming, growling and howling. In September 1966 he formed Eric Burdon & The Animals, a psychedelic/progressive/hard rock group, who influenced grunge, heavy metal and the modern alternative rock genre. When they disbanded in late 1968, Burdon formed War, an experimental funk/soul/jazz/blues/latin rock-outfit.
Burdon left also this band and run back to stardome in the mid-70s with The Eric Burdon Band producing heavy rocking songs. He went on forming short-living groups such as Eric Burdon’s Fire Dept. in 1980, another Eric Burdon Band in 1981, especially for a motion picture-starring role in Comeback for which he made the soundtrack and a reunion band with The Animals in 1983 to get back to the Mainstream Charts. The 1980s saw Burdon in genres such as heavy metal, new wave, pop, reggae, disco, blues, rock and roll, punk, funk and rap. He also published his album “I Used To Be An Animal” as well as his autobiography with the same title. He went on touring in stadiums as well as in small clubs around the world.
In 1990 he formed the Eric Burdon & Robby Krieger Band who toured mainly in America. They recorded some demo tapes, but never released them. In 1991 he toured the world again as Eric Burdon & Brian Auger Band. They released a double-live album, “Access All Areas” in 1993, showing versions of Burdon’s old hits in new musical outfits, once again as a blues, metal, reggae and fusion performer.

Tagging him as screamo is an insult, I'm pretty sure. Eric's voice is too amazing for that level of fail. (2)

They can't take away our music: "Ah, the blues. The ball and chain that is 'round every English musician's leg. In fact, every musician's leg. Tryin' to kick it off, baby? No, no. You'll just never do it. And these are the blues of time, And the blues of a woman, And a man thinkin' of her As time goes by." Eric Burdon & Animals - As the Years Go Passing By
