PINK FLOYD - PIGS | STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! | FIRST TIME REACTION 

The final Gilmour solo on this song is so aggressive. So full of rage and raw emotion. No other guitarist can get even close to that.

Sir David Gilmour may not shred or show off technically,but NOBODY gets the emotion that he does. My favourite guitarist for that very reason.

My favorite Floyd album. Hands down. 👍

Pigs (three Different Ones) is my favourite song from Animals.

Lads, you've been Floyed again!! 😄

This song is so amazing. If you listen to it with headphones, you can notice that there are no silences. There's always at least a faint sound in the back that keeps the song together. It's simply amazing. Only one bad thing: you can't compare politicians with pigs, it' so unfair to those animals.

What so many people overlook is that they did this 50 (almost) years ago....

I keep telling you, Animals by Pink Floyd Is the greatest album ever recorded... Soon, you will understand.

Supposedly Gilmour played the bass solos in this one, too.

How high do you guys think we were back in 70's as teenagers listening to all this fantastic music? It was INSANE!

IMO......music is to take you away from the everyday grind. Put you into a different realm. And nobody does it better that Pink Floyd.

You radiate cold shards of broken glass,,,,,CLASSIC Pink Floyd. 🔥🔥🔥😎

this was the first pink floyd song to make me cry, the solo at the end obviously

The fretless bass you hear in the beginning of the song is David Gilmour, He plays bass on this track and Sheep as well! His bass playing is phenomenal, Just as melodic and soulful as his guitar playing.

"I smell politicians here." You've got it right! Different Whitehouse, same meaning.

So happy you are doing the whole Animals album.

I read a comment once that described the ending solo by Gilmore as Godzilla destroying Tokyo. Yeah, that about sums it up.

Gilmour’s outro solo on Dogs has that same feeling of anger as the outro synthesizer part on Welcome To The Machine. They’re so good at translating emotions through the instruments and not just through the lyrics and vocals. Incredible.

I saw Pink Floyd during the Animals tour at Angel Stadium in Anaheim California. My 16 year old mind was blown!

The lyrics on this whole album are stellar, one of my fav PF lines of all time is in Pigs: "You radiate cold shafts of broken glass,"

This album is a timeless indictment of the type of people all GOOD people should oppose. They have the power, but we have the truth and the numbers. (Sounds like a Doors lyric)

Pink Floyd’s music will always stand the test of time. Two other songs you should do are “Hey You” or “Marooned”

My favorite from the album xx

React to pink floyd's live 8, it was their last time as a band, they played breathe, money, wish you were here and comfortably numb, they haven't played for more than 15 years and it was incredible, I ask you please !!!

gilmours performance is a nice compliment to Roger's vocals and lyrics

You are right, a person can't absorb that much audio information in one sitting. I'm still in awe after 50 years of listening to these masters.

I love Roger's voice, so much feeling the way how he sings and pronounces his own lyrics it is absolutely amazing, Gilmour's solos are just from another galaxy, they are the best musicians ever existed in this world. Pink Floyd forever.

Masterpiece album. Next "sheep"😎🇬🇪

Man, this is my favorite solo from David Gilmour I think. It's ferocious. It's an angry solo, and it's powerful. The only live versions you can find of these Animals tracks are mostly from bootlegs, but they're worth checking out. David adds an extra solo in the live versions.

When I was 10, I went on a trip to Austria and my dad gave me this album on tape for me to listen to. My dad was a huge fan of PF but I never cared. Anyway, I put the tape in my walkman and could not stop listening. Played the tape the entire trip from the Netherlands to Austria none-stop. Still my favorite Pink Floyd album.

Finally!!!

pink floyd always puts you in the mood they want you to be in for every song.. your right

You need to read Orwell's Animal Farm to understand this album. I had a hard time with this album when it was first released. It has turned out to be one of my favorites.

You guys need to take a DEEP dive into First Generation Pink Floyd... There is a song that is tremendous in its original recording called "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun". I, quite literally, just found out Nick Mason is still performing with a band, which he formed, called Saucerful of Secrets. Listen to this song as performed by this group. Be ready guys, if you do either version. It is truly "TRIP" music...

David Gilmore used a guitar Voicebox to make the pig sounds. This voicebox was made famous by Peter Frampton with a song called "Show Me The Way" which was high in the singles charts. His album "Frampton Comes Alive" was one of the highest selling albums of all time....a track called "Do You Feel Like I Do " has a voicebox guitar solo that will blow your socks off ! - Incidentally - Joe Walsh also is famous for using a voicebox.....It's a tube that goes into your mouth in front of the mic & the tube is connected to a small box that is an amp with a tiny funnel the other end of the tube fits on. Great reaction as always.

I'm 62 and it gets me for 45 years.

''almost worth a quick grin'' under rated and missed lyrics always get you in the end.... ''mmmm''

Gilmour's last solo is like him stomping on his effects pedals like Godzilla!

That feeling is called the Gilmour effect. That smooth, emotive, vibrato with lots of fuzz and great minor blues pentatonic scale patterns really squeeze in between the vertebrae and twiddle the spinal chord of people.

Throw in the clergy here in the U.S. over the last 2½ decades... Again, Nick is tearing up those drums so deftly, adding such a smooth edge to the hammering of those guitars... I have realized Pink Floyd IS a Schedule 1 Narcotic, I have not touched a joint in 15 years when listening to them...

This is why Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Genius on all levels! Been listening to it since it came out and it never gets old.

When you say 'synthesizer', I wonder if you're referring to the middle section where there is a 'pig' solo. That's Gilmour using a talk box with his guitar. Gilmour also plays the bass on this track, and 4 or 5 other backing guitars. This may be my favorite Waters vocals of any of their songs. Perfect song for him.

Marooned by Pink floyd please

Animals is one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums and was fortunate to see them touring it at MSG and was blown away by it. This was my first Pink Floyd show as a 16 years old and was among the top 5 concerts I have ever seen! I have gone to concerts from ages 14 to 58, I never stopped going to concerts so top 5 is pretty high marks in my book....

Oh hell yeah. I've been waiting for this reaction from you guys. Incredible song.

Of all their albums poetically , musicianship , and most striking lyrics I feel this is their best, the band at their tightest, Animals. Many sentiments still valid today. Great reaction as always guys. No two songs or albums by this group are the same. Fifty years from now PF will still be talked of and played, how enduring!

Hello guys, I am completely addict with your vidéos and comment.I am french, 48 yearling old, and I am à big fan of Pink Floyd.I have seen them in 1994, and Gilmour alone 1 Time, and Roger Waters 3 Times. You follow Pink Floyd now, and you understand why their music is so good.Thanks for your réactions. Pink Floyd is absolutely timeless music, that is why their songs are stil so good in 2021. Continue with Pink Floyd, with delicate sound of thunder live 1988.And with Division Bell album 1994.See you soon again.Love you guys, bye..

wow the scenery behind you looks incredible 🤩 Good reaction, greetings 🇲🇽❤️

13:13 jeez you're a good brother, George, with that "prepare yourself for what's coming". 😀

Dogs are Predators, pigs are known as Intelligent, sheep are passive.

Animals kicks Ass!! ♥️🎶🎸🎤🔥♥️ So glad you’re doing this!!

la trilogía animal hecha música, increíble tema, increíble album, increíble banda... only PINK FLOYD...

The “pig” solo was a Gilmour guitar solo as well but with a “Talk Box”! Frikkin awesome album!!!

I going to buy this album. I should have had it A LONG TIME AGO!!

GREAT REACTION...!!!!

Background starts as a slow beating of war drums and countered by peaceful people just living. But the pigs keep pushing. Need t-shirts that say dude g or dude p..

I completely agree-you do need to listen to PF songs multiple times to hear and get it all. Each song is a story or a part of a story. There are levels and depths to each song-the words, music and sounds all painting a picture-a story. And they do this with pure musical genius to create all their masterpieces. Yes, I am kind of a PF fan, lol.

This album is an adaptation/interpretation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm

Dogs, Pigs and Sheep... you wish they would never end

Whitehouse was the name of an English politician at the time, but we've had some of the biggest pigs ever here in U.S. lately

Gilmour is also playing the bass on this one.

Run like hell live pulse please!

As early 20-somethings,we all piled into someones house with food,puff and drink,giant bean bags all over the place and put Pink Floyds new release on,all bought that day. Play it,play it again,then discuss it. This album floored us all. Repeated listens bring great rewards. My favourite Floyd work among many favourites.

Thank you for letting me relive this masterpiece with you guys.

Please react to pink Floyd's 'careful with the axe Eugene' it's a trip and a half xx

I feel very lucky that I was able to see them and at an outdoor stadium at night. Simply amazing and an awesome experience.

I am a firm believer that Animals is Gilmour's best guitar work

Just wanted to let you know you hit the nail on the head when you said this is about politicians. You got it perfectly. Your review of Dogs too. I got to see them do this live back in 1977. Plastic blowup people and living room furniture floating in the air…. Giant blowup pig… during Dogs they had speakers throughout the arena that made the dogs sound like they were surrounding us. Amazing show! By the way, I love your reviews and have become a subscriber. I have a lot of your videos to watch, thanks for them! Keep ‘em coming!

Every time Gilmour comes in with that end solo, I think of Godzilla rising up and just TRASHING Tokyo lol. It's literally a monster solo.

Piece of art

Flippin' heck, guys, this is an amazing piece of music! Honest to God, Pink Floyd are incredible as we all know but all the transitions for the three different pigs - wow! I've been reading about the Animals album and it's inspired by Animal Farm by George Orwell which is interesting. Really wonderful and I just want to listen to this song again to fully appreciate it. I think I'll maybe leave it until tomorrow though! You're right, George, Pink Floyd are a complicated band and it's incredible what they've achieved with their music and albums. You definitely have to listen to this a few times! Many thanks for your reaction, guys, much appreciated.

You just have to have love for the greatness of this slice of “Psychedelic Prog”

"His solos should never end." You got it!

Nice that you went right to the point. :) about music will always be there, will always sound good for a certain a group, however with the group from the 60's and 70's (hippies and psychedelic drugs and all) there were more than just Pink Floyd- ELP, Yes, Jimmie Hendrix, there are a whole slew of them that changed music's sound for ever.

My number one fav Floyd album,on an endless loop. Absolute masterpiece.

In case you've not noticed, this album is loosely based on George Orwell's novel Animal Farm which is a satire on the Russian revolution where animals take over their farm but it all goes wrong. Pigs= corrupt politicians, Dogs= corporates, Sheep = rest of us. BTW, the pig above Battersea Power Station is apparently called 'Archie'. It was an inflated balloon flown on a wire which snapped & the pig floated away!. They got it back though when it was found deflated in a field but it did represent a risk to aircraft!. When The Simpsons movie opened in London, as a PR stunt, they flew 'Spiderpig' above the station (you have to see the movie to get that one!).

This is the album for today’s times, brilliant musicianship & message, and Gilmour stomping in with that solo at the end like a monster.. love it.👍 you have to do ‘Sheep’ now👌🏼

Sitting here stoned like a gravel road listening to this ear candy.

Next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) 3 guitar solo 😎👍 or High Hopes ( pulse 1994 )

Boys...listen carefully...David Gilmour and I have been friends for over 30 yrs. Most of the lyrics come from his wife Polly. I know how much you love this music. .....but imagine how it was for me and people of my generation when we heard this for the first time.... some people NEVER recovered from it......spent their whole life walking around in magical bewilderment...that is the impact it had. They are musical geniuses. One of England"s finest. It is a kind of majesty. Another piece of brilliance is Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts ( essential listening ) and John Martyn ( The whole Solid Air album ). I am delighted you have thrown off the shackle of Rap so beloved of your generation....it is not necessary to Smack Youse Bitch up and Shoot some Nigga in the head.....you catch my drift. Follow my suggestions and you will not be disappointed. Good luck..., and well done........

All thumbs up for ANOTHER Great song form the 70's.

in Italy it's 1.16 am ....i want to sleep...in 20 minutes😉

Yes spot on. My girlfriend at the time bought me the album. When your ear doesn't recognize sounds your natural instinct kicks in. I was a huge fan of PF but listening to Animals was hard work. She kept playing it and then suddenly I was hooked. I've listened to this album 100s of times. There's always something else my ear picks up.

Whitehouse refers to Mary Whitehouse who was the 'Queen' of censored in Britain a few decades ago

I remember one time I was traveling from one city to another by bus, in Argentina, I was playing the whole Animals album with my earphones on and everything, having quite a trip, and coincidentally when this song was playing I looked out the window and there was a track full of death pigs, that was so weird and amazing at the same time, the song plus the pig sounds while looking at the death pigs bodies, oof it totally gave the experience a whole new vibe, I mean what are the odds? That was crazy!!

Best, craziest Floyd song ever! many memories here..

Check out "David Gilmour - In Any Tongue Live Pompeii 2016". It's amazing. Gilmour's still got it.

Pink Floyd the masters of sound.

Never stop saying let’s proceed. It’s a trademark that sets you apart from everyone else. It’s a good line, let’s proceed indeed. 👍

David Gilmour uses what is called a “ talk box “ on this album . He sends the sound of his guitar into that box. This sends him back down a tube directly into his mouth. He goes out of his way to modulate it and send it back to us by means of the microphone placed in front of his mouth. You will see him using this system in the show PULSE during the song “KEEP TALKING”

In case you're not aware, look up Mary Whitehouse. She is actually who Roger is mentioning in the song. A lot of folks me included, assume it's The Whitehouse lol.

Just stumbled, literally, on you guys. First LP of pf I ever purchased was Piper at the gates of dawn. Saucer full of secrets. Meddle, Uma guma. All great but if you start at the beginning you can hear the future. People thought I was weird because the music was different, not main stream. An acquired taste so to speak. Speaking of such, you guys are an instant hit with me and my boys. You got the attitude. Way back when, people that talked like you were to be feared. Your accents I mean. But, people let go of their bullshit. I’m 68 , former US Army Airborne and me and my homie vets think you guys are are the s..t. Cool as f. Rock on and on guys. 🌎

The Beatles added "pig" sounds on their (George's) song "Piggies" from "The White Album." All four original members of Pink Floyd - Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright - recorded music literally right next door to The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios in London. Here's how Pink Floyd first met The Beatles: The chance meeting between the two bands happened on 21st of March in 1967 - coincidentally, the two bands were both working on their respective albums in Abbey Roads Studios in London; Pink Floyd was working on their debut, Piper at The Gates of Dawn, while The Beatles were recording what many consider one of the best albums ever made, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. They happened to be recording in rooms adjacent to one another - The Beatles were in Studio 2 while Pink Floyd was in Studio 3. Floyd were scheduled to record from 2:30pm until 7:30pm - as it were, The Beatles were due at the studio just as Pink Floyd finished their first shift. Norman Smith happened to have been producing Pink Floyd’s debut effort, and therein lies the connection. Smith worked as a studio engineer for The Beatles right up until 1965. Since the boys in Pink Floyd knew about this connection, they had virtually begged their producer to ask George Martin if they could pop into Studio 2 to watch the Fab Four work. Writer Hunter Davies, who was there, recalls the situation: “A man in a purple shirt called Norman arrived. He used to be one of their recording engineers and now had a group of his own, [The] Pink Floyd. Very politely he asked George Martin if his boys could possibly pop in to see the Beatles at work. George smiled, unhelpfully. Norman said perhaps he should ask John personally, as a favour. George Martin said no, that wouldn’t work. But if by chance he and his boys popped in about eleven o’clock, he might just be able to see what he could do.” Acceding Smith’s request, George Martin allowed Syd Barrett and his gang of creative artists to hang out and observe in the control room. Pink Floyd’s drummer, Nick Mason, recalls the momentous occasion: “We were ushered into Studio Two where the Fab Four were busy recording ‘Lovely Rita.’ The music sounded wonderful, and incredibly professional. We sat humbly and humbled, at the back of the control room while they worked on the mix, and after a suitable period of time had elapsed, we were ushered out again… They were God-like figures to us.” It is clear that Pink Floyd had then and still do have an enormous amount of respect for the Fab Four. Most importantly, they would agree with the sentiment that Sgt. Pepper’s was one of the greatest albums ever made; Nick Mason added: “They all seemed extremely nice, but they were in a strata so far beyond us that they were out of our league.” It seemed that Pink Floyd understood the importance of Sgt. Peppers as an era-defining record for the ‘Summer of Love’. Roger Waters shares his sentiments on the record: “I remember when Sgt. Pepper came out, pulling the car over into a lay by, and we sat there and listened to it. Somebody played the whole thing on the radio. And I can remember sitting in this old, beat up Zephyr Four, like that.” In the interview, he recounts the way he looked when he sat still, imitating his agape look. While the two bands, especially in regards to their sound, are very different from one another; it is a strange coincidence and a sure sign of the zeitgeist, that while one band was recording their debut and the other was recording their eighth and most significant record, both records are considered psychedelic records. This occasion will forever hold a special place in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

At 12:00, when they said "Whitehouse" they were referring not to the U.S White House but Mary Whitehouse, who was a prominent social and religious conservative activist in the UK in the 1970s.

Pink Floyd Animals simplified: --The Pigs are the owners of the society. --The Dogs are the enforcers of the society. (they work for the Pigs.) --The Sheep are everybody else.

You guys are killing it! I love this reaction :)

That's the genius of it! I've heard this at least 1000 times and I hear something new each time! GOT TO LOVE IT!

These Pink Floyd songs are B side, I’m not familiar. They are FANTASTIC!! I’m used to The Wall, etc. BRAVO! PS LOVING THE SET!!!

timeless....

Pink Floyd take you on a journey a trip an exspierence that you never forget and their is no other band like them that get into the deepest crevices of your brain
