The backstory of today’s classic rock epic reads like the front page of The National Enquirer. Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd from their landmark record The Wall but at first it was only a minute long and musically it was a little boring… it would take producer Bob Ezrin's secret mission and a fair amount of subterfuge to turn this Another Brick In the Wall to into the monster anthem it is today. With Roger Waters's prophetic lyrics and David Gilmour’s Disco guitar riff... It’s the tale of one of the most controversial songs ever to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. And you’re not going to believe just how controversial it was. The story is coming up… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

The mid to late 70s were a rough time, artistically, for rock acts that didn’t make dance records. From 1974 to 1979, the conventional wisdom was, that you either jump on the disco bandwagon, or you don’t have any hits or get major radio play. So to stay hot on the scene, many of the biggest names in rock n roll succumbed to the pressure and created music with a disco beat. Rod Stewart had a huge #1 with ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy’. The Stones had ‘Miss You’, and Kiss, the band that taught us how to Rock and Roll All Nite and Party Everyday released ‘I Was Made for Lovin’ You.’
Other headliners like Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Queen also dabbled in the genre. But perhaps the most shocking, and incredulous incorporation of disco, was when the paragon of prog-rock-Pink Floyd-recorded today’s featured song: ‘Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 Pink Floyd, comprised of guitar genius David Gilmour, bassist and conceptual genius Roger Water, drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Rick Wright, began the recording sessions for Waters autobiographical masterpiece The Wall in December 1978… when disco was at its peak. Disco was the sound buzzing in the streets, and the dance beat that devoured the nightclubs. Which makes the enormous success of The Wall all the more impressive.
The Wall tells the story of Waters’ semi-fictional protagonist Pink… beginning with his traumatic post-war English childhood and culminating with a harrowing psychological stand-off with all the pain he has endured in his life. When Pink was a young boy, his father died in combat during World War 2… Enough to damage even the strongest soul, Pink searches for ways to cope with this stark reality. His childhood grows darker under the care of a smothering mother and the reign of cruel and despotic school-masters. Later as an adult, Pink becomes a disillusioned, hedonistic rock star caught up in a failing marriage. Decades of mental and emotional trauma come to a head when Pink discovers his wife has been unfaithful to him… triggering a complete mental breakdown.

I’ve listened to that song ever since it debuted and never once did the term “disco” pop into my mind. ...Update: I got quite a response to my brief off the cuff comment, so here’s my wider take on the song…yes, Another Brick in the Wall can be interpreted as disco in the broad technical sense with its 103 bpm 1/4 note kick drum throughout, as does most if not all disco songs, and Gilmours guitar rhythm was probably influenced by the sound of the late 70`s [maybe on purpose tongue in cheek], but for me that`s where it ends. Music is so much deeper than the technical. Disco as a genre is about simple dance, party, get laid, etc repeat. Pink Floyd songs when viewed in the context of their albums [as they are meant to be] take on a greater meaning. I see Brick more as a March, reminiscent of soldiers in WWII. I don`t feel a dance party vibe to this song when I view the lyrics and context of the album. I owned the vinyl record in my younger years and as was typical of the late 70`s and early 80`s, listened to it cover to cover looking for the full meaning of the song and album. That`s why the term ‘disco’ never entered my mind. It`s also why I appreciate the Professors deep dive into the song in this video. Getting the background context of how the song came about and other history is greatly appreciated.

@@ProfessorofRockyes, the kick drum is doing the straight four on the floor beat but the Bass offsets it nicely with a funky syncopation, which I suppose is my particular focus and the fact that Floyd wasn’t a disco band is the reason I never considered the disco angle. It’s all subjective of course and bands of any given era are influenced by the surrounding music culture. I must say you did a bang up job on researching the album. I love your work. You remind me so much of the late great Casey Kasem.

I too had a controlling mother and for many years I listened to this album, seemingly unaffected. Had a lot of trouble at school...this was an era that no one listened. I saw it at the movie theater, with my mother and my sister. I had to get up and move to sit by myself at one point. It hit so close. I went to see the stage version when Roger Waters went on tour with it about ten years ago...I started to weep early on and when that piercing scream came (you all know the one I'm talking about), I screamed as loud as I ever have in my entire life, until not another sound could come out. Couldn't talk for a whole day afterwards and people turned to look from two sections over. It was like 40 years of anger and feeling powerless all spilled out into that amphitheater, For a moment I felt levity...but I was liberated forever. Things changed. I'm now taking care of her because she has dementia and our "relationship" is more professional than familial because the old harpy has always been incapable of feeling or expressing love, kindness and respect, opting to be horrible. But I can deal with her better now because I'm the grownup of the two of us...and I often think of how fortunate she is that I don't have any speck of her in my personality, I cannot bring myself to be mean and nasty, and I seriously doubt she is aware that the movie she complained about and told me I was an idiot for wanting to see had some turn in the fact that she isn't sitting in a nursing home right now. If you have a loving, good mother...go tell her right now you love and appreciate her. Anyway, excellent episode, Professor! I'd love to see you do an exclusive 27 Club special!

I had some issues with my mother and had to work through them after her passing. What helped me heal was forgiving her, not always because she deserved it, but because I did. Also, try to remember how people used to be raised 70 or 80 years ago. It was usually a lot of "spare the whip, spoil the child". Your mom likely went through a lot of trauma herself. Understanding that can help you put it in context and move on and not repeat the patterns in your own life. Be well.

The Wall is one of those rare albums that takes you into an audio journey of emotions and inner reflection. Every song is a layer over layer of raw confessions of what trauma can do to someone. How your psyche breaks and and how that truly feels. This isn’t an album that you skip to your favorite song. This is an album to sit back and listen for a while.

This is a most welcome upload. As a drummer, RUSH is my favorite band, but as a person, Pink Floyd has no rival. Where I grew up, it was a right of passage to drop acid and go see Pink Floyd - The Wall at the midnight movies. (How I miss the midnight movies! Every Friday and Saturday nights all doors to the Malls were locked except those serving the movie theatres. The choices were always the same: Pink Floyd - The Wall, Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same, Heavy Metal, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.) To have been in high-school while the anthem "We don't need no education" was regular radio play was a time like no other. This album was the background music of some of the greatest parties I ever attended. I simply cannot imagine navigating life without Pink Floyd.

“It freaked me out” is exactly how I felt. I was very young and I loved this album but felt disturbed by it at the same time. My father was an abusive alcoholic with superb taste in music. Much of my favorite music is influenced by the soundtrack of my dad’s music and a traumatic childhood of my own. Pink Floyd was mesmerizing. As a powerless child, hearing those children shouting, “We don’t need no education! We don’t need no thought control! Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!” was most likely what started me on my way to questioning unjust rules and authority figures in my life who hadn’t earned my respect. Thank you for featuring this song.

So I am one of the biggest fans of Pink Floyd who's ever existed. The album The Wall, and Pink Floyd's music in general, changed my life forever, when I was 15 years old. I am dyslexic and disgraphic. Throughout my childhood, my home family situation, and school was an absolute nightmare for me. When I heard The Wall, it was like someone actually understood what I was going through inside. It helped me to open up about things, and to cope with my own trauma and rage within, in ways that I don't think any counseling ever could have accomplished. That being said... stories about The Wall, and even about Pink Floyd in general, are a bit warn out... HOWEVER... THIS is one of the VERY BEST break downs of the album The Wall, that I have ever heard!

I was in my early twenties when this slapped us in the face. With the Bob Geldof movie it was a double hit. How great life was... All the Pink Floyd concerts I attended including "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals", this one was literally jaw dropping. And I know how to use the word "literally", my friend reached over and closed my mouth a couple of times! And the cop whom I thought came over to take my joint away, ended up sitting next to me on the stairs and took a hit and gave it back! The Floyd got him...😁

I was fortunate enough to be stationed in Germany with the Canadian Air Force when the Berlin wall came down in the fall of 1989. When Roger Waters announced he was re-staging "The Wall" outdoors in Berlin in July of 1990, a group of us jumped at the chance to see it. Yes, I know it wasn't Pink Floyd, just Roger and a bunch of high-priced help (The Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, et al), but it was still an experience. After seeing the effects of the Cold War and the Berlin wall on East Berlin (which looked like it was stuck in the late 1960s), being part of a crowd of more than 300,000 people, all chanting "Tear down the wall!" at the end was a definite goosebumps moment.

She liked the beat, and eventually the message of the song. What made it funny to her was the children's chorus. She said: "Where did they get the kids to sing the song? They must've been troublemakers!" LOL - she was right! Thanks for explaining the history behind this fantastic song. Cheers Professor of Rock!

I bought my first album (The Sweet) when I was 9 (1974) and I've really been into music since then. The Wall was the perfect album for the time (taking in all of the things that were happening) - the themes and struggles have remained so, even to today's woke society and what group think allows and what is frowned upon, I've secretly been wanting you to do The Wall for quite a while, and it's finally here. It takes you on a journey of self-reflection and hits you between the eyes.

It was released in the first year of undergrad and it began my late-blooming rebellion which blew my Mom away as 'REBELLION BECAME MY MIDDLE NAME' which is pretty sad since I had NOTHING to rebel about. At the time, 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Good-bye Yellow Brick Road' were my favorite double albums. Now, hands down... Pink Floyd. LOVE just tuning-in and letting it flow over, around and through the atomic anatomy and let it reverb among the elements in the surrounding environment on the road and off. SUBLIME!!!

"Another Brick Pt II" played its part in helping me to embrace (what we now call) Progressive Rock andto enjoy the music of acts like Pink Floyd. I was always into disco, but my teenage self struggled with Prog Rock. Hearing this song was pivotal in helping ease me into the field and to realize I could get into it. One bandleader put "Another Brick Pt III" into our repertoire briefly. She didn't approve of the opening line from Pt II", taking "We don't need no education" too literally. I wish I had tried to explain it wasn't half as much about education as it is about administrative authoritarianism. I only hope she's "seen the light" in the time since.

From rock operas like 'JC Superstar' and 'Tommy' to the pop-ish sounds of Styx's 'Kilroy was Here' or Janet Jackson's 'Control', I loved concept or thematic albums. No thematic album was greater than 'The Wall'. The double album is a complex story, but many of the tracks tell compelling stories or paint vivid scenes on their own. Another Brick in the Wall made you want to stand up to the system even if you weren't feeling particularly oppressed by it.

1980 I was a freshman in high school. I had grown up listening to the greatest decade of music ever. I'll argue that with anyone. I would listen to my radio (like most of my peers) waiting to hit Record when that perfect song came on. I was in class (don't ask me which one. I don't remember and don't care), when the teacher, a female version of the teacher in The Wall, left the room. I took the opportunity to turn on my portable radio and caught this song just as it was starting. We all listened mesmerized. We'd never heard anything like it. And that's what led me down the Floyd rabbit hole.

I was a nerd all through school, followed the rules, and understood the value of education. My parents had ground that into me from before any memory. This song.... it is a form of social vandalism. The Who's "My Generation", The Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper" are also examples of music that capture what is wrong with respected society. I'm 64 now, and to this day I understand that this type of "vandalism" is necessary for society to grow. You could say that Gandhi and MLK and Jackie Robinson were guilty of social vandalism, and think of them with respect and admiration. So it is with the musical artists, above. Music has played a MAJOR ROLE in improving the fabric of society, though new music has routinely been condemned of trying to tear it down. Instead, I like to think that such "vandalism" is needed to rebuild society...better. And even bricks in the wall, like me, were targeted by "dark Sarcasm, in the classroom."

For months every day at least once I would sit on the floor in my room with headsets hooked to my stereo listening to The Wall. The only days it didnt happen were those glorious few hours if my parents went shopping on the weekend and left me home. This was when I would bring my album to the living room to play it on our wall length sound system and crank it up loud enough to shake the paintings on the walls. Eventually a neighbor let my Mom know how it got very loud at our house sometimes, it was worth every one of the extra chores :)

Gilmour is phenomenal! Even though he hated Disco, he still considered learning from its style for edification!

Yeah, but a lot of us kids were singing, "No Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom." Or, uh, "Alan Alda's just another brick in the wall." Never heard the story of the kids choir before. I always wondered about that. Always wondered why the headmaster didn't tell them band to get lost. Without permission? Yeah, lucky there wasn't legal action!

This album is likely the most important record released in my lifetime. Roger Waters does not suffer fools. David Gilmour gave these songs flight with his eloquent guitar mastery.

Another Brick in the Wall pt2 was my jam.., mostly because I had a teacher who was quite abusive to the kids she didn’t like. She kicked me out of reading group, called me stupid, and made sure I knew she thought I was slow. I’m dyslexic not stupid. It was something that stuck in my head for years. Oddly she wasn’t fired over throttling a kid for bumping into her or ripping another kid’s hair out for getting a drink from the in room fountain without permission. She retired by the 90s.
