The official site give "1 May 1941". Here it's 11 May 1941". Who's right ? --82.67.156.31 12:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Discography
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)

External link suggestion: New interview with Eric Burdon
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)


 * 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)
 * Okay, I've added the date of publication to the external link. Mike harkin (talk) 22:31, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Great job JTSomers & Tunebroker (and others)
This entry has improved by leaps and bounds since I visited last September. Eric Burdon deserves it.Haberstr (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Cooperation with Carl Carlton and Max Buskohl
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)

Too many members
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)


 * 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)

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


 * Main article amended accordingly. Please sign your comments. Four tildes (4x~) is all that is required. Thank you.

 * It is now in Tyne and Wear, which was created in 1974. When Burdon was born it was in Northumberland. Jim Michael (talk) 00:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Pre Animals history?

Eggman
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)
 * 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)

Source 9 broken
One of the most cited sources on this page ([9]) links to a missing page. 159.2.34.18 (talk) 17:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Shed?
Under Other asssociations, we get this sentence: 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:

Umm, "shed to the English?" Does anyone know what this means? Sardaka (talk) 07:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
