Willie G. Moseley Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Founding guitarist for the Animals. Next door neighbor and I played in a couple of high school garage bands, and he bought a Vox Hurricane 'coz he thunk that's what Valentine played. Dunno if that was the actual fact. I liked the Animals because they were grittier than other British Invasion bands, prolly 'coz they were from Newcastle. Not much of an environment to inspire cutesy pop songs. Saw 'em once in a caravan show, '67 IIRC. Set cut short due to Valentine breaking guitar strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that's just sad. No one in the other bands would loan him a guitar to finish the set? So much for, "peace'n'love." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
