First Time Hearing "Pink Floyd" 

Pink Floyd didn't write songs..they wrote albums, each one is a journey. You have to start at the beginning and listen till the end.

One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd, One experiences them!

My son is the lead guitarist in a Pink Floyd cover band in Australia called Echoes of Pink Floyd. Every time he plays that long guitar solo in Comfortably Numb he gets a standing ovation. Gives me goosebumps every time.

When my husband agreed to listen to Pink Floyd with me I said, okay but to do it right you need to lie flat on your living room floor with candles and the volume cranked. And it must be a full album, in order! True fans will understand 😊

Praise The Lord they didn’t pause the play during the two epic guitar solos 😍

Pink Floyd is its own genre. Their music is existential, mystic, hard at times, but leads you down a path and tells a story. You have to sit and pay attention and let it tell you how to feel.

Gentlemen if you are going to delve deep into rock, it would be helpful to you to know the eras and genres, there is great historical significance in understanding where each band fits in the tree, Pink Floyd is an amazing band that was earlier in the timeline compared to you, they would be more in the classic rock genre of the 70s, of which rock evolves as time goes on, you get into punk/thrash/metal at the end of the 70s, beginning of the 80s when Metallica comes along. There are hundreds of iconic bands and THOUSANDS of songs out there, so pick a group, google a little info on them so you know where they came from, who they were influenced by, it will all eventually all fit together for you, enhancing your journey through history.

This is a rocker grandma speaking. I remember when this album came out. The way to really understand their music is to sit down alone, put on headphones, and just listen to the entire album in one go. NO TALKING, NO PAUSING. This is what used to be called a “concept album”. Listening to one track by itself does not do it. Try it. Same thing with Wish You Were Here. Both GREAT albums that tell a story in consecutive tracks.

This isn’t the kind of music you stop and talk about. You listen to it, feel it, absorb it.

As a black woman who grew up on Floyd I'm loving this. I play Floyd for my granddaughters so they can innerstand my childhood.

Greatest guitar solo of all time hands down. Gilmour is a guitar extraordinaire. You can take a trip without any type of drug. These guys will take you to another dimension. Don’t stop playing Pink Floyd. You shall see.

"Comfortably Numb" is from "The Wall" album. The backstory of Roger Waters is what this was all about. His breakdown after WWII. You get the whole story if you experience the whole album. Took the whole world by storm in the early '80s.

I’m 56 and still get goosebumps when the second guitar solo kicks in.✌️

Roger's lyrics hits your brain, then David's guitar solo takes your complete body. Best workteam ever.

First arriving in March 1973, The Dark Side of the Moon spent 724 consecutive weeks in the Top 200 before dropping off of them on April 30, 1988. There will NEVER be another album like this - easily, one of the top 10 albums of all time

Pink Floyd is never in a hurry, every note struck perfectly and always leave a little room between each note.

This is from the album The Wall. The entire album tells a story of a boy who becomes a rock star. His life's journey from being a kid during WW2, having an obsessive mother, strict teachers, an overbearing wife, all these things contribute to him building a wall within himself to hide from life's woes. This song is after he tries to OD right before a concert and people are trying to wake him up so he can perform on stage.

The best way to listen to Pink Floyd is to sit in a room with no distractions, put headphones on, close your eyes, and listen to the entire album. You get it better when you hear the whole thing. (A Pink Floyd laser light show is awesome too!)

It's dope to see you young men taking in some Pink Floyd. There's something you gotta understand... people have been growing up and growing old to their music since 1967. That's almost 60yrs! 250million records sold worldwide. They're iconic to every letter of the word. Im glad y'all enjoyed it. Keep up the entertainment bruhs

David Gilmour's guitar solo is consistently ranked as one of the best solos ever recorded.

Congratulations. You just witnessed arguably the greatest guitar solo in the history of man. Floyd is a "vibe" in and of itself.

Pink Floyd has been around for 50 years. One of the best concert bands ever. You need to listen to the whole album at once not just a song.

it's amazing to see youthful black gentlemen enjoy music like this, peace among worlds.

You couldn’t have picked a more iconic song, this is music to sit back and close your eyes to 😊 Well done fellas

Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience. Enjoy the show!!!

Just watched the video. You MUST listen to them do this live at the Pulse concert. UNREAL!

Hotel California is by the Eagles ( sounds a LOT like-- We Used To Know by Jethro Tull) Californication is by Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Pink Floyd is Progressive Rock and I hope you find some other selections that you enjoy too -- PF has some of the best of the best stage lighting of any band ever -- like others have said check out their Pulse concerts -- Its mega

This is a song you go in your room. Turn all the lights off but your mood lights. Roll a joint lay back get comfortable turn this up,light and inhale.. aww hell yea!!!

This is an album that you have to listen too from beginning to end . Each song floats into the other …. So lay back and just enjoy the trip they take you on

So excited for y’all to do Pink Floyd!!!! They are a experience, and a awesome band. Enjoy the rabbit hole!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻❤️

The four of you have stumbled onto music that many people consider to be the best of all time, for reasons that become obvious as you interact with more of the music. For YT reaction videos, you will get a huge return on views if you react to the live version of this song or pretty much anything from the 1994 Pulse live tour. IMPORTANT: You will NOT need to pause Pink Floyd on RU-vid, there is no penalty or removal of videos for doing it with their music, so when you are in the middle of a Gilmour guitar solo you won't get in trouble if you don't pause it. The studio albums are amazing, but there's never been a better live band in history, period. There are hundreds of reaction videos to the live version of Comfortably Numb on the Pulse 1994 tour because he goes on a much longer solo at the end of the song and the stadium show that goes with it is mindblowing, and literally everyone who reacts to the video is amazed at what they're seeing. (That's why reaction videos get so many views, and because people like me who attended these shows know they experienced the greatest musical experiences of their lifetimes and they come here to watch other people who've never heard of it react to it for the first time, so they can re-experience what it was like when they first heard the music.) Everyone else will tell you which other Pink Floyd to react to, but start with the Pulse concert and make sure not to pause the guitar solos. Also one tip, people will recommend Great Gig in the Sky but for that one, find the studio version. It's one of those first take miracles.

If you are feeling overwhelmed this is the song you zone out with..... Best therapeutic song ever. Even if you've touched nothing you will feel tranquilized.

First time viewing. Suggestion: listen to the album "Dark Side of The Moon" from the first song all the way through to the last. Whether or not you record your reaction to it. 💜 It's a life experience everyone should have.

HELLS YES GUYS U got to do more this band is timeless U will understand how serious this group is

Money, Time, Have A Cigar...one of the best bands of all time!!! The album The Wall tells a story and is meant to be listened to from beginning to end, thats what all the chatter at the start of the song is from. If you TRULY want to hear the genius of Pink Floyd...roll ya up a big fatty (or 2...i dont know your habits) and just sit back with a good pair of headphones..it just hits...different

David Gilmore, the lead guitarist with all those amazing solo riffs he created, doesn’t just play it… he freaking feels every note coming out of his fingers

This song is from The Wall, you should listen to it from beginning to end. It’s a story, and if you listen very closely it comes full circle and ends where it begins. The Wall is a masterpiece.

"the child is grown... the dream is gone"... something we will all relate to and will hit you like a ton of bricks when you hit that certain age and finally understand this lyric followed by the guitar solo. Put this song in your playlist and it will hit you at the weirdest moments.. Pink Floyd has a crazy way of playing at the most convenient times. Another song to react to is PINK FLOYD - TIME..... it will truly blow your mind about the feeling of growing older and time ticking away. Their songs creepily always sync up with what you're doing at that very moment.

Pink Floyd is pure head music. You experience it, not just listen to it. It's best through good headphones.

You need to listen to the whole album. Words cannot describe how great they are.

Pretty sure Dark Side of the Moon is still on the Billboard top 200 and it came out in 1973. Burn down and listen to the whole album. Shit’s magical, especially on headphones or in a car with a great stereo. Mind blowing shit. It was just them and their instruments and a studio… and drugs obviously. It was the early 70’s. Everything was cool back then

The second solo in this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. You can hear and feel the emotions in every note played. David Gilmore is seriously underrated.

All 3 guitar solos in this song are regularly ranked in the yearly top 10 solos of all time. Often in the number 1 spot. Yes, this is stoner rock. You smoke a Fatboy, pop on the headphones and back and vibe. You will find out that their albums don't pause in between songs. They kinda melt into one another.

Also, imagine listening to this on the radio on your way to high school. One of the most recognizable guitar solos in rock history.

Syd was lead vocalist when they first started out -- His friend David Gilmore took over as vocalist and guitar and was singing and playing this song -- Syd is a sad story -- He did not kill himself but died from pancreatic cancer at 60 years old -- He struggled with mental illness (schizophrenia) and could not keep his place in the band but they missed him so much that many of their best songs are about him -- The Wall --- Wish You Were Here -- Shine on You Crazy Diamond (SYD) --

This is a vibe, there a lot being said, its much deeper than you realize...

I really enjoy seeing people experience music that I love. It's like watching someone open a gift.

I’m 57 years young… and Pink Floyd rules! All time Favorite! ❤

Pink Floyd albums are often meant to be experienced as an entire album, especially “The Wall” and “Dark Side of the Moon”, but also “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here”. They are full-on mental experiences, you owe it to yourselves to at least hear “Dark Side of the Moon” with lights off and in its entirety at least once in your life.

Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite songs. Though not recommended to be your first Pink Floyd song. Another Brick in the Wall, wish you were here, eclipse, Dogs of War, shine on your Crazy Diamond. These songs would definitely grab you a little bit better

The pulse live version is absolute 🔥🔥🔥. No one makes a guitar weep quite like DG.

I love how you guys are open to listening to all kinds of different music! Righteous Brothers to Pink Floyd. So many great artists!

David Gilmour is one of the most emotional and able guitar players of all time, Tears and goosebumps from that guy...always. He never plays a bad note...He makes it sing

Pink Floyd live is like no other time in life….Gilmore on lead guitar is epic.

I love watching the youth truly enjoying real music!

I don't care who you are, what's your background, your favorite music style... a kickass guitar solo remains a kick ass guitar solo!!!😂

Now you have to listen to TIME by Pink Floyd... Listen to the lyrics. They hit hard

This is the song I'm having played at my funeral. It means so much to me. When I was a young teen with drug, drink, and mental health issues, this song saved me. I love Pink Floyd.

Bands like Pink Floyd, Tool, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and many other amazing modern bands pierce the soul and are like a mental/emotional landscape of immersion

David Gilmore's guitar has the most emotion of any guitarist, EVER.

Guys, you’ve introduced yourselves to arguably the finest rock ensemble…ever?

You need to watch the live version of this from their 'Pulse' series. Also, 'Echoes' part 1 and I promise you'll be blown away by both!

If you want to feel like Heaven, listen to the “Pulse” live version. Incomparable to anything else

Pink Floyd usually does music that tells a story over the course of the whole album. Always very deep lyrics that make you think. This is from The Wall, which they also made into a movie. Dark Side of the Moon is usually considered their best album. In fact, it's always listed among the top Rock albums of all time, sometimes at number one. If you want to hear a different vibe from them, the song "Money", from Dark Side, is a classic.

Probably one of the best solos ever laid down Do yourselves a huge favor Can even just watch that solo PULSE is the concert Not only are they on a higher plane musically, visually their shows are stunning! Enjoy! Fun Reaction ☺️✌️🎶

Pink Floyd was generally considered a Space Rock or Progressive Rock band. They were never a hard rocking band. It was always mellow sounds even when the lyrics dealt with some deep ideas on grief, life in the modern world, birth through to death. Best to listen to them with headphones and a joint or bong.

I love how open minded you kids are!!! Every video I watch y’all review it makes me smile to see that kids these days can see the beauty in all things ❤❤

One of the greatest bands in rock and roll history. The album cover shown in your video is "Dark Side Of The Moon". One of largest selling albums in history (on the Billboard Charts for something like 30 years). This song is from a later album called "The Wall". Any Pink Floyd album needs to be experienced in it's entirety.

this classic is off "the wall" album. it's about being burned out, to many concerts, to many drugs. he can no longer tell the real world from the world of the rock star and has started to realize the people around him are only trying to use him to make money. the entire album tells a story of all the trauma he has experienced in life. for faster more upbeat songs try "Money", "Time", "Run Like Hell"

I love you guys💕💕💕 I’m 74 and literally grew up the these iconic bands you are listening to and I appreciate how excited you get. Imagine growing up during this period. By the way, ‘Hotel California’ was made by ‘The Eagles’. If you haven’t listened to them put them on your list.

So funny. There is nothing to beat the bands of this era, amazing musicians.

You guys really need to watch the live version of this song from the PULSE concert in 1994. Takes the entire song to a whole new level. Dave Gilmour's second solo is possibly the greatest live guitar solo of all time!!

The whole works of Floyd is just a masterpiece! No band sold more records till today! You have to learn a lot! Have fun! Its a big experience!

There are few perfect things in this world. A sunset, a newborn baby, and this solo. you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd.

One of, if not the greatest song ever recorded. IMO. Grew up with my dad playing this and it’s now deeply embedded in my dna.

Clearing up a few things. Syd Barrett wasn't on this song. And he died of diabetic complications. It was Roger Waters singing the verses and David Gilmour is chorus and guitar. Keep listening. Glad you guys enjoyed my favorite band. You should check out stuff from Dark Side Of The Moon.

More exploration of Pink Floyd is essential - huge talent from all members of the group. Guitar work by Dave Gilmour makes me weep (literally at times) and Roger's lyrics have confounded me and stirred me all at the same time. Listen to more. Pull the lyrics up. Listen to full albums at a time.

I’m 45, and when I was a kid my mother and my uncle took me to see the laser light show that goes with Pink Floyd’s music, and it was awesome!

Good Lord, I remember the mid 70s sitting in friends basements listening to this. You guys keep me young by just listening to it. Keep it up fellas

The historical and social significance of artists like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Bruce Springsteen (to mention just a very few) cannot be overstated, and should never be underestimated. To pick a song like this out of an enormous catalog and think you’ve even glimpsed them is just… well, you just have no idea. Man, am I glad I grew up in the 70's. It was musically the greatest decade ever.

oh dude you got to do "Money" by Pink Floyd. Its a banger

Just a heads up this band has incredible talent. Very deep lyrics with musician talent off the charts. Lead guitarist among greatest of all time, his solos has emotion in them. Keyboard player i believe was a trained concert pianist. Bass and drummer excellent as well. FYI, this song is about one of them having a childhood fever, not drugs. Dont think every rock song is about drugs, or every band is on drugs while playing. This group has probably around 20-30 great songs. Your generation missed out of some great music and glad to see your listening to it now. Way more talent back then. Music now is one hit wonders and not nearly as talented how it is played IMHO.

It's so funny when you hear brothers talk about rock music, mans was like "Yo, who made hotel california?". Next mans said "I think red hot chili peppers". bro I almost peed my pants, lololololo!

You guys should listen to this entire album start to finish. Each songs transitions into the next one, so the entire album is like one mind blowing song. Simply amazing, phenomenal piece of music. 👍

"Money" is about as fast as Floyd gets. Pink Floyd does some crazy long intros to their songs, but the wait is worth it. And, in the right mood, the intros are fascinating. "Dark Side of the Moon" is meant to be heard from start to finish, but if you're in a hurry for the big pay-off, skip to "Great Gig in the Sky" for the most amazing female vocalist solo you have ever heard.

53 yrs old here and I’ll be rocking out to Pink Floyd til the end of my days!!!! 🫶🏼

OMG thanks guys Dark side my fave album OMG i love u guys I am 65 and I close my eyes I am back in my room with parents shouting turn that down!!!!! I OMG OMG NO WORDS

Too bad your not experiencing them with headphones on. Truly makes a tremendous difference ❤️❤️❤️

Listening to this song without the rest of the album is like eating the middle of a jelly donut and throwing out the rest. You have to hear the whole thing to understand it. I love watching your reaction videos, thanks for the entertainment.

One does no simply listen to Pink Floyd you experience Pink Floyd. You guys have got to react to this song from the Pulse live show it one of the greatest live performances ever and Gilmore does an extended solo that is timeless.

To make it clear, this is 4 guys jamming out, the singer (for this one) is Roger Waters (on the "slow"/low engergy part) and David Gilmour (on the float away part). The Drummer is Nick Mason, and the keyboardist is Richard Wright, at this point Syd had to be kicked out of the band due to substance abuse. He died later. Loved seeing you get into the music I grew up in (Im Gen Z).

Check out their song "Sheep" from the album "Animals". It's a concept album loosely based on George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm". You want something from Pink Floyd with a little more bite, listen to Sheep.

Pink Floyd would best be categorized as _Psychedelic Rock,_ for the most part. They're really a lot of things. They are sort of in their own music genre.

In my 70s and still listening to their albums. It is emotive as was a lot of music in the 60s and 70s. A good smoke helps it work .

Hi guys I’m soo glad the younger generation is appreciating our early hippie music🙏🙏 y’ll don’t know what u missed🎸🎸

Queen,Pink Floyd, Beatles.... how is it possible that there are People Who never heard of these mega big bands Who made the best music ever

Pink floyd - Money Pink floyd - another brick in the wall

I sure hope you're listening to this with full speakers, and not a laptop. It's an immersive sound. And the guitar solo is simply incredible.

Guys, just so you know, that song you just listened ( Comfortably Numb) is a shared vocal by bassist Roger Waters, who sang the first part, and guitarist David Gilmour, who sang the verse as well as did those bad ass solos. It looks like you enjoyed it...glad you did!! 🙂

I do not know if the band members were doing psychedelics when they made these songs, but I know that listening to them on psychedelics is a unique experience. I did that in the 70's.
