Pink Floyd - Young Lust (REACTION!) 

Run Like Hell should be next if you want something along the lines of Young Lust

In isolation, it isn’t the deepest song in the world, but within the flow of the album, it becomes incredibly deep.

The Wall is a progressive rock album where it tells a story. Each song acts like a chapter in a broader story. For folks who are not use to Pink Floyd I would recommend Dark Side of the Moon. I think it’s much more accessible for the average person trying to get into them.

This song, no matter how simple, fits perfectly into it's place in the albums story.

Listen to the whole album and the phone call stuff will make sense if you pay attention to the story

Learning to Fly has some great guitar grooves and it's one you haven't hit yet.

Young Lust is one of the many high points in The Wall.

I think most Pink Floyd fans love this song. I certainly do!

This song is one of many that showcases their more straight forward, bluesy, groovy stuff. I am a MASSIVE Pink Floyd fan and have been for ~40yrs, and I have always loved this song. Might be simple, but it is groovy as hell and really fits in much better within the album itself. EDIT: I am sure it has already been mentioned before, but the phonecall at the end is the protagonist of The Wall, Pink, calling from tour in the US back home to his wife in the UK, but a man at the residence keeps hanging up on the operator.

Have you done anything off Dark Side of the Moon? If not, what’re u waiting for??? I would suggest Time or Great Gig in the Sky (you will get goosebumps from the vocals)

You would you like "What do you want from me?" from the Division Bell album.It's the same blues rock style, but it's harder and more intense. Actually David Gilmour was the bluesier one. It was Roger Waters who wasn't so much. Weird considering he was their bassist.

Yes it’s an awesome soulful blues rock song with great Gilmour licks

I recommend Slaves and Bulldozers by Soundgarden. Song rocks really phenomenal. Especially during the chorus.

Straight ahead Rock song. Rare for Pink Floyd, but always, they can play anything. And make it their own. Fun stuff.

I've never heard of any Pink Floyd fans hating on this song... I'm one of them, and I think it's a banger! Many others have already commented about how The Wall is a concept album, and this song plays a specific role in the progression of its story. There's a few other bangers on this album- Run Like Hell, Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2, Comfortably Numb, to name a few.

This song is basically a bridge between two songs on the album (which is why it’s probably not been asked for & why it’s start is kinda abrupt.) Fantastic song on one of the best albums ever made in my opinion. Please do much more from THE Wall. And once you have heard most of it, in your own time, a full play through of the whole album give an amazing story! The film is awesome as well 👍

This is a concept album, it's meant to be played through as it all ties together. The movie is a presentation of the concept done masterfully.

Okay so, the original idea behind the song, and the context within the overall story of "The Wall" are two very different things. In the timeline of the story that takes place on the album, the main character is on tour, and has been building that psychological / emotional wall. The phone call in the song, is him making a call to Britain, to find out that his woman has another guy in the house with her. As a last ditch effort to find some sort of Human connection, he goes out to find a groupie. Needless to say, it doesn't really do any good. We still end up in the song "Comfortably Numb" where he has basically checked out completely.

I got through watching y'all after 5min in to this one... Do yourselves a musical favor: Listen to the entire album "TheWall" is LEGENDARY -you kids won't be disappointed 💯👌

Young Lust is a great track, good call whoever suggested it. Pink Floyd is obviously known for their mind-bending songs and their introspective lyrics, but their secret sauce is that they are a great rock band and can flat out play - and play funky - when they want to.

The phone call was the rock star (Pink) calling his estranged wife while on tour. She was in bed with another man, the man picks up the phone and hears the operator saying you have a call from the US and he knowing who it is hangs up the phone. Its a difficult album to pick a song at random and work out WTF is going on.

Pink floyd - dogs! You guys will dig dogs! It's a far more intense and moody entry that can be taken out of context far better.

Seriously guys, The Wall is the best concept record ever made. You owe it to yourself to give the entire double album a listen, with your undivided attention, at least once in your lives.

Guys,its been 3 years or so,we need a reaction from Dire Straits,Sultans of swing ALCHEMY LIVE version 10 minutes of pure greatness

The reason the beginning seems abrupt is because they wrote it so that you would listen to the whole album rather than one song at a time. It’s a great album. There’s a movie as well.

Thanks for getting back to Floyd! Any chance we can get a Ride the Lightning reaction (track) by Metallica? I love to see you two enjoy a great Metallica track for the first time haha

I saw Young Lust pop up a lot in the comments section, I think I put it up there once as well, just because it's a pretty big curve ball for the Pink Floyd sound. I was just a kid in the 80s, so I didn't really know this song, but later I found this album, and when this song came up I was like "wait, wasn't that on the radio back in the day?" I love it. It also does a great job of shifting gears on the album, going from some more real moody stuff in Mother, and Empty Spaces, then banging in with a ridiculously great rock tune.

It’s hard to separate the song from the album because it’s a concept album that is best experienced in its entirety. Especially if it’s your first listen. You’ll understand the meaning at a deeper level, it’s so nuanced.

I notice Ryan always mentions that “although it’s not the most complex/intricate song I’ve heard I still like it’. Music doesn’t always have to be super complex or deep or technical to be good. If the shit bangs then the shit bangs, period.

"The Wall" is a concept album that tells a complete story and the songs need to be listened to in context of the whole album in order to get the full appreciation of them. One song runs into the next (as many Floyd albums do) hence the odd beginning. So the hard rock simplicity of this song is a purposeful contrast to the more conceptual track on this album .. gotta listen to the whole album - or at least read the Wiki about the album to get the context of the story. In the story the phone call at the end is the lead character "Pink" calling home and finding out that his wife is having an affair .. the operator says "a man keeps answering and hanging up"

It's hard to get the full impact of this album by singling out the songs. It's an album I enjoy much more as a whole rather than broken down. Cheers!

This song is about a rock star dealing with groupies. The scene along with the song in the movie is awesome. It's pretty shallow, but perfect for the scene

You really can't do just a song on that album. It's one, continuous story.

Has to be played after Empty Space. My favorite PF song.

This is a great song, I like all the more straightforward pink Floyd stuff. The wall is my favorite album. Obviously another brick in the wall part 2 is the best, especially the bass line and the solo at the end

You have to be careful listening to individual tracks off "The Wall" as many (possibly all) songs transition from one song to the next without a clear break. The Wall is a personal story from Roger Waters' perspective after his father was killed in WWII. Taking individual tracks may or may not make much sense, that's why it's recommended to listen to this in its entirety. Maybe a 2-3 block of songs per review?

Shallow? lol This song DOES have a meaning in shaping the character of the character in this story of The Wall. You really have to listen to the whole allbum in order. Every song is a killer, where every note, lyric and melody has a meaning & sets a mood for their message, our interpretation & enjoyment. I loved this whole album on first listen and still do.

You really need to watch the movie “The Wall” to put these songs into context. It’s a concept album that tells a story of the character Pink. So no song stands in isolation to the rest. I personally hate hearing just a single track from this album. You either listen to the whole album or don’t listen to it at all.

It is atmospheric in the context of the greater album. And no, David didn't make it for "us dudes", lol.

If young lust is the body, empty spaces is the soul. I can’t really listen to one without the other.

My first reaction to seeing this notification was "OH NO! I feel like this is more of a context song" but I am reminded it still is a banger of a song by itself. I was just thinking yesterday of how I'd love for you guys to not only get back to Pink Floyd but to watch the movie, The Wall. It's a trip but it's so good. Or a full album, from Darkside of the Moon to The Wall is considered their master works and they are definitely best enjoyed from beginning to end.

My favorite song. Another favorite of mine is have a cigar!

Run Like Hell = My favorite Floyd song

This album is directly from "The Wall" movie every song is not only a chapter in the story but it is also another brick in his wall. Watch the movie preferably in an altered state then every song on this album will have its context.

Tracks taken out of the context of an entire album when it comes to Pink Floyd can sound abrupt or not make sense because they are concept albums, e.g., The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon. The whole album is a continuous story. Anyone who truly wants to appreciate Floyd needs to listen to their whole album in one sitting.

After this, it MUST MUST MUST be 'Another Brick in the Wall Pt.2' (with the intro). !!!!

This song is part of a bigger story you need to listen to the whole Wall album to understand it

As already mentioned I'm sure, this album is meant to be listed to as a whole, there are no pauses between songs. Excellent song and album, grew up listening to them as a kid and still love them. Keep up the awesome reactions and I hope to hear more of Floyd in the future.

I think they would like Time, Money, Pigs, Not Now John, What do You Want From Me. I think theses one are the most "mainstream" I think one of my favorites is Sorrow Live Pompeii 2015, try this one.

Thanks for coming back to Floyd. There are SO many great PF songs to do! :)

Hard to isolate a song like this since it's part of a movie

Cortez is cut from that cloth, he knows Lost In Vegas needs bangers.

Listen to "The Nile Song" from the 1969 album "More". David Gilmour sings in a raucous voice like in this song.

I don't think this song is too simple. Since The Wall is a rock opera that deals with a rock artist's depression that leads him to isolate himself from the world, "Young Lust" describes the moment when he has an encounter with a groupie at a party after his concert. The reason why he takes that girl to his hotel room is because he discovered his wife's infidelity (this is what the phone call heard at the end of the song refers to). The next song ("One of my turns") is when the main character of the story loses his temper and destroys the hotel room.

This is the portion of the story where he is bored with being a rockstar. Give the whole album a listen. Then the movie. It’s a masterpiece

You guys peg bands after listening to 3 songs when the catalouge for Floyd and Zeppelin are literally HUNDREDS of songs. You don't have enough perspective

You should check out the "Animals" Floyd album. IMO, their best.

PIGS off Animals in my favorite PF song. A Politically charged song that is still relevant today.

The song makes perfect sense when you watch this in the movie The Wall

React to: Kenny Rogers, 1. Ruby don’t take your love to town 2. You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 3. Ruben James 4. Lady live

Is it too simple? Maybe, but - along with "In The Flesh" - it's more a pastiche or an homage to 70's rock and roll and the rock and roll lifestyle. It's all part of the concept that is The Wall. That record is a lot of things to a lot of people. And it gives Gilmour an opportunity to just kick ass on the guitar.

I like PF but I'd recommend anything from Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here- even Animals over songs on The Wall, and I like some of the songs in The Wall, but I don't think the album is good as the previous three though.

Pink Floyd - Careful With That Axe, Eugene live in Pompeii

you guys should do Jeff Buckley soon. Bob Dylan was a big fan of his. “Lover you should have come over” and “forget her” are top notch

Great stuff but you haven't done anything yet from their best known album Dark Side Of The Moon. Do the song Time from that album.

This is where the concept of "instant reaction" shows its limitations. Without knowing the overall concept and storyline, this song is difficult to understand. Especially in the context of a band like Pink Floyd. Still a good job though guys!

The Wall is a Rock Opera that needs to play in order in one listen. Better yet, just watch the movie The Wall. Everything will come together and make more sense.

This song is basically gives you feel of America 70’s Rock

Knew yalld rockk with this one

You guys have only skimmed the surface when it comes to Pink Floyd. Once you have reviewed/reacted to as much of their music as you have done with Tool and other similar style artists, you will become true fans.

Thanks for the video, guys! It would be really cool if you could do a full listen/reaction to The Wall!

How have you guys not done “Money” by Pink Floyd. Thank me later 👍

One Of These Days is my favorite Pink Floyd song, particularly for it's groove.

Break the rules and just watch Echos Live at Pompeii

The song starts abruptly because The Wall is a Concept album so there is song after song that bleeds into each other. As to the phone call, if you listen close enough, and to the album as an entirety, the story begins with Daddy's flown across the ocean, leaving just a Memory. Listen to the phone call. The operator says, " Mr Floyd for Mrs Floyd," but it's the son who answers and then hangs up. On the second try, the operator says, " This is the United States calling, are we reaching" before the young man hangs up again. I think it's safe to say the Daddy who flew off across the ocean at the beginning is reaching out, but the kid either doesn't understand who it is or more likely is resentful and doesn't want to talk to him. At least this is my take. But I've only listened to the album about an hundred times. Listen to the album as a whole and form your own opinion.

The phone call at the end, is supposedly a recording of Gilmour catching his girlfriend cheating on him, if I recall correct

Nah dude, this song is so good cause they're basically saying "hey we can do all that weird shit but we can also do some basic shit and it fuckin rips just as hard"

I haven't gone through the comments yet but I am sure you will see the following phrase quite a bit: You need to listen to The Wall in it's entirety as virtually each song seqways into the next one

Ryan talking through most the songs lately, hey man chill and listen, then react dayum 😉

The intro makes more sence if you listen to the previous song xD or watchc the movie

Do "Run Like Hell" from this same album. You guys would love it. Also, for REAL classic atmospheric Pink Floyd, do "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)" from _Wish You Were Here_ (1975) and "Dogs" from _Animals_ (1977). Also do "One Of These Days" from _Meddle_ (1971).

The phone call was about the album as a whole, not the individual song.

This is one if my favorite Floyd songs. The sings I thi k you both would like of theirs are Time, Brain Damage/Eclipse, High Hopes or Wots Uh Deal.

I know it's not really possible on the channel but The Wall is really meant to be listened to (or watched) in it's entirety.

Bros , check out the live version of Echoes from Pompeii .

Pink Floyd Animals - Sheep.

Finally! Someone reviewed this one. Really radical different one.

I love this one cause its gritty and funky and just kinda honest, As apart of the album its basically exposition for the main character, in the film, it's a snapshot of life on the road, shows a piece of the wall being built

This song fits the context and placement on The Wall Album. So many of the songs from that album need to be heard track to track to get the full impact, meaning and context of the song and the album.

The song is about a musician diving into debauchery, and he's about to have a mental breakdown. This album tells a story and this song is the equivalent of a quick montage.

Definitely in contention for greatest album ever This ain’t the album for singles This album is a full experience from beginning to end..then watch the movie

PLEASE CHECK OUT ONE OF THESE DAYS BY PINK FLOYD

It's weird listening to this song out of context.

The only way to truly understand and enjoy the individual songs from The Wall album, is to listen from beginning to end, read the lyrics, and watch the movie.

For this reason you should do " Dogs"!

Ryan got me laughing. I know everyone at my work who talks basketball, and it doesn't matter what other opinions they have, when I see them it's immediately "did you see xyz last night?" Usually it's "Can LeBron stop throwing up 3s with 20 seconds on the shot clock, AD only had 3 shot attempts all 4th quarter..." Yeah, I live in LA.

Well, it's part of a concept album. If you watched the movie "The Wall," it would make a lot more sense. This is a character Pink, who's a musician on the road in the US, calling home to England and some guy answers instead of his wife. So, the song itself had the beginnings it had, but it was reworked and woven into this story. One of my favorites by them.

To keep it simple, this is proof they can straight jam when they want to jam. Four on the floor straight to the point. Catchy af.

This is a great PF song!

this album tells a story. If you take the individual songs out of the whole, they often don't make any sense. You should always enjoy this masterpiece completely. Switch on, sit back and listen, from the first to the last minute. Once I saw the movie and the whole thing made sense to me, I haven't been able to listen to the album since then without shedding a tear.
