PINK FLOYD WELCOME TO THE MACHINE | WISH YOU WERE HERE ALBUM REACTION | 

Skip to 3:42 to skip that long ass monologue lol appreciate all the love and positive energy. I don't mind considerations or suggestions just keep it respectful. Much luv everybody have a blessed day. Peace 🙏

LOL!! Singer Alice Cooper, who holds Pink Floyd in High regard, once described there Music 🎶 as, " Them arriving on Earth in there Space ship, and Bringing us there Unique Tunes, and Tour for a while, and then they jump Back in there Ship, and return to There home Planet to write more!"

The song represents the control that record labels excert on their artists, dictating all that they do and all that they say. Thus, welcome to the machine designed to make music executives rich. The song ends with the sound of the record company's elevator heading upwards and the doors opening on a floor where all the company's executives are drinking, laughing and partying on the money they're making. Your Pink Floyd reactions have been great. Keep up the good work.

Someone was actually complaining about your banter?? I find your talk is always on point, you never overdo it, and always intelligent. Don't worry bro, you are doing a very good job!!

Be careful! Each Pink Floyd album contains more Zen than 1000 Buddist Monasteries.

As someone who remembers when this album came out I can promise you our minds were blown

WELL SAID!! Some people are never happy unless they're complaining or being 'offended' . Fab reaction ! Much love from U.K X

Pink Floyd takes you into another dimension, you never knew existed and they keep doing it song after song after... That's why the Astronauts took them into space in the 70's! I can barely fathom the idea of flying in a capsule a few thousand miles a hour out in space listening to Pink Floyd!!!👍😁✌😎 Life is beautiful!!!

Oh boy ... just wait until you get a load of their next album 'Animals'

Believe it or not Pink Floyd was panned by critics for using a synthesizer. Shits straight fire

Can u imagine hearing this on FM radio when you were driving back in the seventies?

You might as well give in and purchase all their albums, you were born to be a fan. 🙂

Sir, I just raised a glass to your health and house. Stay on the Floyd journey. Stay safe and well, all of you and your family! Awesome reaction!

Pink Floyd were the last of the hard psychedelic bands, but they lost Syd Barret after their 1968 debut, he suffered a severe mental break from excessive LSD and was permanently damaged, he would never again function as a normal human being. This was a traumatic experience that haunted their songwriting through their whole career, the themes were dark, cynical, Roger Waters wrote with vicious honesty, disenchantment with a hostile, violent world that strips us of our humanity. Ruthless... 'Welcome to the Machine.. now get in line, grab a shovel and start diggin your grave.."

Bro you are perfect man Don’t stop. Keep going

Richard wright is on keys, nick mason is the drummer

LOL, I love it man, astral projection. Sometimes I think they're aliens.

I always found this song terrifying in a deep psychological way. Like the sonic landscape describes a machine that you walk into and get churned out into the existential void.

Rick Wright R.I.P. on keyboards

Awesome reaction, takes me back more than 40years to when I used to come home from school and play my older brothers "your NOT allowed to touch" vinyl collection! My first intro to Floyd was the album Meddle (just before Dark Side and later Wish You Were Here) Definitely going through track by track is gonna give the most from the album. The only thing I can suggest is to take a look at PF Echoes live at Pompeii, playing in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience. You get a to see the guys at the time, see the technology of the day, and really get a feel for the pure musicianship.

I love to see somebody feel music as much as I feel it sometimes! You literally rock!

I am so glad I got to see Pink Floyd live. The hype is underrated. Also, "Intergalactic psychedelic" is one of the better descriptions of Pink Floyd.

All about the music industry......The Machine.

Great band! My 2nd favorite! 70s...best music there ever was...oh and we had the best cars!

I always find it funny how people watch reactors and then complain when it gets paused expecting to hear it like they are listening to a radio station :D

Pink floyd - Dogs For sure next, perfect long song

I remember buying this on 8-track when it came out. Getting new Floyd was so exciting. It would become my favorite album of theirs. It's nice to see people still getting into their music anew.

I like your Pink Floyd reactions- these guys went to music college and created the quadrophonic sound effect of music going around a stadium in 360 degrees- they used a joy stick to do it- now try listening to Comfortably Numb please!!! It’s from the Wall album- thanks man I will subscribe.

Great Reaction, PINK FLOYD "WELCOME TOO MACHINE". ANOTHER OF THOSE FLAWLESS ALBUMS... LOVED IT WHEN WERE LOOKING TO HEAR THE NEXT TUNE... THINKING "HAVE A CIGAR" ON THE HORIZON...🤩✌

I’m glad to see the younger generation still trying to appreciate REAL music.

People are passionate about their Floyd. They don’t mean disrespect but try to help your listening experience. I love your reactions, keep them up

Just here to leave a nice comment. Hope you have a rad day

Man, your reactions, the way you describe it so well. I am happy for you that you get something not many do. I love Floyd, I learned wisdom and patience and a world view from Floyd. And I learned what a well filled artistic soundscape sounds like versus a more haphazard one.

🇨🇦👍 Your facial expression says it all Keep the good work

Definitely was an experience back when it first came out, especially if you're feeling good, I mean really good. Great reaction.

You are entering the world of Floyd!!!!! I get why you stopped where you did the exact experience. Floyd has to be felt , if your willing to listen it pulls you in no idea where its going. It was not done it was flowing into wish you were here ......... you missed it........ cheers

Love your reaction to this great band’s work. You’re loving them and I’m loving you loving them. I’m another of your old guy fans. Pink Floyd is simply unparalleled. Glad you “get them”. Keep up your great work!

Dude, I for one just love your Floyd reactions. It's easy to see how impacted you are by their music. So many reactors just sit there and have no clue as to the majesty and epic nature of the lyrics and music but you understand how special it is. It's easy to see you're an intelligent young man and people like you give me hope for the future. Much respect from me and don't let crummy comments ever get you down. Just be you.

Pink Floyd was in a category all by themselves. Once you hit their album “Animals” (my personal favourite), you’re gonna really be in for a treat. Another great video, another great job. Keep on being the best you and I’ll keep on watching.

Pink Floyd's genius has stood the test of time because their brand of music is not only god tier musicianship, but because their music is completely unique and original. No band before or after them has recreated that Pink Floyd feel. You can clone the other greats like Led Zeppelin, Beatles, etc. but trying to recreate a Pink Floyd takes a special kind of genuis.

I got all the kitties to pet while I watch the video. 6 cats never leave a shortage. I suggest, doing The wall as an album review, and Animals as an album review as all songs form the concept. Both by Pink Floyd. You will not be disappointed my friend.

I'm so excited to see your reactions to more Pink Floyd. Every song is more beautiful and epic than the next. ✌💖🖖

Very well articulated. Keep up the fun and great work.

You Hit it right on the nail about anyone can play Synths, guitar, bass and drums but very few can Collaborate to make it OTHER WORLDY....!!! This is Why Pink Floyd are Epic and Timeless.....

it's called a reaction video for a reason. keep being you that's why we're here, to see you discovering the music we loved and keeping the art alive.

Enjoy all your videos bro. Thanks for taking the time

What you spoke about at the start of this video is on point. I agree 100%! This is your channel. It brings me joy. Ignore the haters! 😎

I'm new to finding you and I just want to thank you for the care you give these timeless classics. Pink Floyd is extraordinary to say the least. Now get your grove on...

The Animals tour- the Pig with the spotlight eyes....... music and show was legendary. Really. Never be able to forget it. You mentioned how much you love the sounds in the albums- believe it or not in stadiums with this band - you are totally enveloped with sound and vibration. An incredible experience for a teenage girl from Kansas...... 💋Love ya

Right on jay.. I love floyd cant wait for you to discover in my opinion their ultimate achievement the album animals!! Just to give you a heads up on this album the next 2 songs have a cigar and wish you were here are interconnected so if you do 1 at a time you miss out on an incredible transition that will seem odd if you let have a cigar stop. Not trying to be a spoiler ..lol just a pre warning why it'll seem to stop suddenly... U get it. Floyd to me is Multidimensional music. Thats the best word i can relate it to.n even thats just not enough..✌🙏

Love and respect for you bro. You're real and you're honest and that's why I subscribed.

This is such an accurate response. Those sounds cut right through and blow you away. Live it!

Love your reactions! :-) This is classic Floyd. I can't wait to see your reaction to the Animals album.

Love your attitude. Love your reactions.

I really appreciate your videos and thank you for helping to keep good music alive! 🤘

Great reaction, dude. Love listening with you. It's like hearing it for the first time.

So glad to see you experience Floyd.Some ppl listen to it but never hear it and if you can't hear it you can't feel it.You got a deep soul man..God bless and love

Try Echoes from Pink Floyd, the b-side from the album meddle. Don’t forget to listen to the albums: Animals, Dark side of the moon The wall

I love watching people's first reaction to pink floyd. They are from another world. Another dimension.

I love how you react :) Its perfect. You are truely amazing

First time watching. Great reaction, honest and real, you've won a fan

Lovin your FLOYD reactions man.

Man you feel this shit in your physical body and your spirit, just like me. So awesome to watch. Welcome to the Machine, brah. 💜💚💛✌️😊

I dig the fact that you listen to music much the same way I did at your age . It is a gift that keeps giving your whole life. Screw the haters my good man; keep up your honesty and you will have thousands of subscribers!

Mr Rah, keep on doing you. Loving your reactions so far. Peace.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos bro. Keep up the fine work!

Love your reactions. Actual bands and .musical talent that feels partly forgotten today

rip richard wright, he was the soul of the band

Best reactions to the best group in rock history! Thanks man!

"Total space rock" Love watching your introduction to Floyd.

Just subscribed, I've been keeping up on all your Pink Floyd reactions and Iove them man. Keep it up as it's nice to see people expanding their musical genres and you keep it real.

Thinking person music.

Close.. its Rick (Wright) on the keys. Nick (Mason) is on drums. Speaking of drums. I know your doing Pink Floyd albums in a specific order. But, looking forward to your reaction to Nick’s drum work on Animals. Especially on the song Dogs. He sometimes gets overshadowed especially with David’s incredible guitar and Rick’s amazing keyboards. But, listen for it. Its some incredible drum work going on in that album.

Don't change, my son, you have the most sincere and intense reactions. I'm an old guy listening to to for nearly half a century and it's so great to see you reacting to your first exposure to it

Thank you for sharing your reactions. They are so heartfelt + moving + insightful. I was lucky for my older siblings to play me this stuff in the late 80s when I was in high school + I got to see them live a few times (beyond what I could dream). Maybe it’s because I feel like I am working smack dab in the machine some days but I am 50 and this song (as well as the whole album of Animals) still makes me tear up. How they describe the helplessness, the selling of one’s soul, the lack of ways out, the violence we do to each other.

Play High Hopes live PULSE concert 1994 After that play Keep talking One of these days Same PULSE concert Hope to see you react to those

Artists back then were VERY ahead of their time, it’s mind blowing, and it’s why it will never be beat because they put all of their passion into their music & sounds. Masterpieces!

Don't worry about the haters , just be your bro ! I love the honesty in your reactions so keep it up and NEVER be afraid of being you

This could be your theme song Jay, welcome to our World of Prog/Rock/Blues etc of the 60-80's. Lots more to see and do.

So glad you were able to experience Pink Floyd

My life, music, headphones, Pink Floyd always took me away to another place and time. ✌️

Welcome to the machine! Alot more to hear. My buddy had bright red carpet and the same color walls, he would get high and listen to Pink Floyd, ha ha. He would come running out of his room , saying 'I can't take it!"

Four words: One of These Days! (Meddle 1971)

Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb Live at Pulse. The greatest guitar solo in history. And one of the greatest stage and lighting shows at same time.

:) awesome reaction

I’ll tell you, my man. The simple process of you looking up names, context, all that? That’s what reactions are all about. I’m watching you because of the sheer joy of watching someone hear the music I grew up with for the first time. Many just tell viewers to clue them in in the comments...you actually jump into it and want to understand it like I did when I first heard it (granted, no internet then!). Comprehensive, full, and really hearing it. Well played, sir, keep on as you do.

Just remember the fist bar that Neil dropped in Tom sawyer! Enjoy your channel bro!!

Haters gonna hate. We 💖 you Jay.!!! Don’t stop doing what you do; you’re the best!

Your reactions are tight man. Intelligent , thoughtful. Just keep listening to great music.

Amen, if they don't like it they don't have to watch! I Like to see people's real reactions. Thanks for the video.

first offf...'my whispers are loud' ahahahaha awesome ! sounds like my faimly. as for this song....man...>CHILLING is the only word i can think of. you've reaction to 'shine on...' which opens the album and leads into this. yeah...the start of a RIDICULOUS album. top 10 of all time for me ! as for making those sounds back in the 70.s...you gotta understand that synthesizers were relatively new and people were experimenting....you can even go back to the 60;s and found some insane stuff came out. people did a whole lot with not much techology compared to today. i'm sure most of the peoiple here can list a billion albums that fit that description. i'll mention one. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland. holy shit. still stands up today, that one blew my head apart (of course, the acid didn't hurt either hahahahahahah). also can't wait until you get to Floyd -Animals. another masterpiece

“Sorrow” from the Pulse Tour is great....long guitar intro! 🎸🎶🔥

Great reaction

My husband and I found your videos while watching a couple others, and we enjoyed yours as much if not more (your reaction to Steely Dan’s Aja in particular). You make perceptive observations and seem to understand music better than some. We also appreciate your enthusiasm and positive attitude. We don’t watch and listen to your videos to hear the songs-we already know them quite well and we own the cds. We tune in to see how the songs affect you and to hear your take. You’re helping others to discover the amazing music that influences other music makers. Keep going, keep learning and don’t let trolls slow you down!

This is going to be LONG WINDED but it's a necessity (I Think lmbo). Here it goes. Again ya nailed it with your 1st remark; "I Feel Like I'm About To Be Abducted By Aliens"!! It's TRUE this musicianship and composition will 'TAKE YOU For A COSMIC RIDE!! WELCOME To Syd Barrett's Descent Into Utter MADNESS!! As this song was Pink Floyds Auditory Expression of Syds minds psychedelic free fall into the Alien Abyss of the Cosmos. In the middle of of the 'Lyric' video for this song it shows pictures of Syd while in Pink Floyd and before. And the lyrics here directly 'Tell' of Syds personal 'Likes' as in what & where he liked to eat along with his favorite Car along with Syds 'Thinking' of life etc. Syds personal 'Influence' never left Pink Floyd as many of the songs are directly devoted to him. Barretts soul seems to have entwined itself into the Members of the band. Even when David Gilmore replaced Syd, Gilmore likewise seemingly was 'Absorbed' by Barrett.. Syds Musicianship is reflected in most ALL of Pink Floyds musical offerings, even decades after Syd went into an utter Psychedelic Self Imposed Madness.. Syd composed & played 'Heavenly Melody's' that turn immediately to a 'Chaotic' Chorus of simi offbeat rhythms with an undertone of 'Haunting Doom'.. It's hard to give all the credit to Syd Barretts personal influence but to remove Syds 'Persona' would equate to NONE of Pink Floyds Greatest Compositions. This takes absolutely nothing away from Roger Waters, David Gilmore and the rest of the members Musicality at all.. BUT they ALL seemed to be used by Syds 'Aura' .. I know it 'Sounds' OUT THERE and it is, thats what Pink Floyds Music is, it's literally 'Out There' and MASTERFUL.. Likewise it seems to me that your last comments of ; "It's Like You Were Tripping & Opened A Door & There Was A Room Full Of People Laughing Etc And You Just Came Back From The Astral Plane An You Don't Even Know Where You Been At Etc" TOTALLY Encompassed the exact message of the song.. Syd went st8 MAD and had moments when he came 'Back' to reality BUT he felt "OUT OF PLACE".. Unable to 'Fit' into our 'Reality'.. He NEVER came back from 'His Astral Time Warp Cosmic Trip'.. He for sure felt 'Empty & Alone', what an utter TRAGITY that has been put into 'Musical Form'..

with Pink Floyd you close you eyes sit back and enjoy the trip.....check out shine on you crazy diamond

Alight, I'm convinced you're ready for maybe their best song, Dogs. Great reaction.

I think your doing a great job. I like to watch reaction videos of songs I love and see the genuine reaction of someone that has never heard it before. You’re open minded, so I think it will out good, looks good to me. 🎧🥁🎸🎹

Next time, when you react to, Have A Cigar, by Pink Floyd, you need to hear this song first, they tie together

You do you. Who cares about the haters. It's refreshing to see honest reactions instead of people kissing ass for popularity. You have my utmost respect.
