London— Hilton Valentine, the founding guitarist of the English rock and roll band The Animals, attributes the creation of one of the most famous opening riffs of the 1960s, failure. Tenía 77 years.
The cello of the band, ABKCO Music, confirmed that Valentine had killed the four, according to his wife, Germaine Valentine. The cause of death was not reported.
“Valentine was a pioneer guitarist who influenced the sound of rock and roll for decades,” said the cello in a statement.
Valentine played guitar for 13 years in his native North Shields in the north of England, and was later involved in the location of the skiffle, a species of fusion folk, country, jazz and blues, which was staged in the United Kingdom. His band skiffle The Heppers evolved in The Wildcats, a rock and roll band that is popular all over the north of England, as part of Valentine’s costume to play the wheel while playing his guitar.
Valentine form The Animals in 1963 along with singer Eric Burdon, bassist Chas Chandler, tecladista Alan Price and drummer John Steel.
The band’s most famous success was produced in 1964, when its rock version of the popular song “The House of the Rising Sun” enclosed the charts in the United Kingdom as in the United States.
The song, which has an opening riff with an initiation rite for the guitarists in all parts of the world, resonates so much in the United States that many people are surprised to hear that the band has come from the English coral race.
Rising Sun’s aperture will never be heard again! … ¡Geen solo la tocaste, la viviste! “I wrote about the recent failure to report the case to Hilton,” Burdon wrote on Twitter.
