About This Track
“Sky Pilot” is a pioneering ant-vietnam-war-anthem, which topped the charts in 1968. Eric Burdon’s dramatic vocals and lyrics are backed up by an orchestra with flutes, horns, bagpipes, trumpets and violins. It’s also famous for his basslines, accapellas and the war simulation in the middle of the song. The fusion of the guitar solo and the gun shots could be discribed as heavy metal.

Burdon received an angry letter from the British government for his use of the pipe music. The tune he used was "All The Bluebonnet's Are Over The Border," which is a classic Scottish war piece written as an anti-war epic during the Vietnam war.
