@@Zoolar This was a bleak period in British education.I remember all my teachers in the 80's being completely stressed, something I only recognized after suffering from stress myself. Having realised the stresses the teachers were under, lack of funding etc I now feel a great degree of sympathy for them.
Even in the early 80's, when I was about 7 we had a teacher who would stand behind you and ask questions and punch you in the back if you got the answer wrong.
I was at boarding school in England in the late 60's into the 70's. I was caned a number of times. This video brings back memories of the whole experience, most of it pretty miserable. But it did toughen me up for life after schooling.
The boy's poetry, trivialized by the teacher, is actually a snippet of lyrics from Floyd's song "Money" off Dark Side of the Moon album. Prefer the version of this song from the Pulse concert. It's hard to hear the music over all the sound effects in the video
I think OP is saying it's hard to clearly hear "the guitar solo" because of the background noise. The sound effects in the video don't much cover over anything else. IMHO if you isolate yourself to David Gilmore (Pulse Concert for instance) you lose a majority of what Pink Floyd is about, Roger Waters.
@@allisterfiend_2112really? Bet your teachers couldn't humiliate you and hit you in front of your peers - you guys are blessed - a teacher today hurts your feelings,a teacher in those days devastated you every single day if they didn't like you emotionally, mentally and physically - you don't know what harsh is!
Technically, there's no rebellion. The entire "rebellion scene" was just a daydream by little "pink". He was humiliated by the teacher and went on a mental journey that showed how the kids are being ground up by the system and put out as unthinking pieces of meat. Then he imagines a violent rebellion where they burn down the school, and the teacher. Then it snaps back to reality in the classroom.
Educators of the era when the Pink Floyd band members were school-aged were very stern, and their goal was uniformity over individualism. The kids weren't rebelling against learning per se, but were rather rebelling against that type of education. Kids growing up in the era of the postwar environment lived in a dramatically different world than the students of today. As a 59 year old man & father, I have seen many changes in educational processes for students. And yes, you must watch the movie "The Wall" to see how everything ties together. Pink Floyd music is rarely about a song being the body of work. Typically, the entire album is the body of work, with all of the different song titles tying in together. Thank you for your interest in such iconic music like Pink Floyd.
@MrDDiRusso ... 😁I think we all need education! ... It may be the meaning of life, and why we are here! ... 🤔we are now living in the "information age", and I LOVE it! ... Access to SO MUCH information, so, at 74 yo, I'm finally enjoying "self education"! ... AND I'm in control!! 🤪👍🤣
The poetry that the teacher was reading are the lyrics to a Pink Floyd song. Can you remember which one have you done money yet? Yes it’s money. I don’t think you’ve done money. Check it out. It’s a good one. It’s off the best concept album, dark side of the Moon.
The director is Alan Parker. He did an entire incredible videoclip of this movie in 1979. English Victorian education was really hard in the past. Very impressive and visual. The story of Pink, the main character, is actually very sad. A rock star with a traumatic past.
@@norwegianblue2017 Quite true the other extreme, I lived through that era, some very brutal teachers there where back in those days. everything is f###ed up now
The record is better than the movie , in my opinion. The poetry the boy is penning are actually lyrics of an earlier song ' Money ' I think it's on Wish you were here, could be wrong those were heady days. The anticipation for the Wall Album was huge ,the photograph next to the phone is Sir Bob Geldoff who played Pink in the movie.
@@StaceyRPGReacts if you want to understand how education really works search for John Taylor Gatto, Charlotte Iserbyt and Antony Sutton (the last book : white cover with a skull, there is a chapter on education, but much much more)
When this song hit the radio stations, I had just entered boot camp. So every time our Drill instructor gave us a "break" this was playing on someone's radio!
The Wall played practically non-stop on FM radio when it came out. One of the great concept albums of all time. Also a great animated, surrealist musical drama film.
Yeah, Stacey, I'm glad (10:11) you're planning to watch the film. It's also worth a listen of the album uninterrupted, without the film (though perhaps with a lyric sheet). And further, there's a channel called Virgin Rock that's going through an analysis of it (and has been, over months -- it's not quite completed yet, but I fully expect it will be in due course), which... has just an amazing analysis, in terms of both music theory and meanings and... yeah, worth checking out, when you're ready.
Gerrard Scarf legendary satirical cartoonist ...and later Spitting image inspiration.. Mrs Thatcher with the beaky nose and Steely eyes the voice dripping with distance.🧐
It' great to see younger generations so enthusiastic about Pink Floyds music. On the lyric video of the song Time, during David's guitar solo the lyrics said, "Eargasm." I think that describes it perfectly. Great reaction.
Yep, I like to see young folks 'discovering' music from my generation. So much of the contemporary music nowadays is below standard, cookie-cutter nonsense. That makes me sound like an old fossil.
(Apologies for any redundancies) What you saw was an excerpt of the 1982 feature film directed by Alan Parker based on the 1979 album. So it also has the prior song “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”, which helps set up the “education” of Pink. Gerald Scarfe was also the de-facto production designer for the film in addition to providing the animation (a lot of it was already made for the live shows). This included the maze / conveyor belt / students turned into mincemeat. (Gerald Scarfe did do a separate music video of that song specifically and it was made because it became a Christmas #1 and thus would air on Top of the Tops) Yes, this is the one time Pink Floyd flirted with disco. What was originally just going to be a one verse “interlude”. It was due to Bob Ezrin, one of the album’s producers, who could hear it as a disco tune and that’s how you hear it today =] The children’s voices were from kids attending the Islington Green School, London. This was thanks to an adventurous music teacher who offered to use a “field trip” as a way to get them to sing a “subversive” song. And yes, you got it out of the bat and way better than some of the UK press at the time, who even called it “obscene”. In fact, this was adopted as a “protest song” in South Africa.
I graduated high school in June of '79 when this song was huge on the radio. Our graduating senior class voted overwhelmingly to use this as our class song at graduation. The school refused to play it and replaced it with Feelings by Chuck Mangione. Funny thing, I went on to become a middle school science teacher. The best concert I ever saw was Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988. They played for nearly 4 hours. Flew the giant inflatable pig from the Animals album cover from the stage to a crane outside the stadium.
That was Roger Waters yelling out “You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat!” Rogers Waters was the bass player, and one of the founding members. He also wrote many of the songs. He left the group in the 1980s. That was Richard Wright’s son-in-law playing the bass in the Pulse concert. Richard Wright was the keyboardist. Roger Waters came back for a fundraising concert in 2006. That was a nice reunion. Your reactions are very professional, Stacey. Thank you again.
Its worth listening to the whole album. The "The Wall" album by Pink Floyd is a concept album that tells the story of a rock star named Pink who is struggling with fame, drug addiction, and mental illness. Pink is left with feelings of abandonment caused by the death of his father in World War II. He is traumatised by his dealings with authority figures such as an over-protective mother and abusive schoolteachers and in the ultimate act of defiance, becomes a rock star. "The Wall" is a complex and ambitious album that explores themes of isolation, alienation, and the search for meaning in life. It is a powerful and moving work that continues to resonate with listeners today.
There's a lot more to The Wall than that though...it's a massive statement on how toxic colonialism is, and how people need to free themselves (break down the 'walls' of isolation that the psycopaths who run colonialism, have managed to brainwash many in Western society into building around themselves) ..It's about how colonialism attempts to destroy 'real community' and to isolate people , and to make them become mindless consumers ''What shall we do, to fill the empty spaces'' (from the song 'Empty Spaces' ..and chenck out the full film version with the amazing animation about consumerism) ....The Wall is a work of absolute genius and it's more relevant than ever........Thankfully more and more people are waking up and hence colonialism is about to thankfully die, as more and more people return (and advance) to community living and community values again..sharing resources and caring for each other again......as per lyrics like ''Togehter we stand, divided we fall'' from the song 'Hey You'
The first song was The Happiest Days Of Our Lives leading into ABITW. You are watching the versions from The Wall feature film. There was another less brutal promo music video for the song
You really understood it all, impressive to see you get “under the skin” of Pink Floyd, their music and the meaning of it all. It as a really adventure to follow your journey here! 🎸👍
Another great reaction Stacey, you’re getting it. It’s great to see the younger generation seeing the same things that I saw 50 years ago. Great music doesn’t die. ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Stacy I find your reaction videos to Pink Floyd enjoyable and interesting.Seeing young people like yourself learning to appreciate the music I grew up with make me realize how lucky I was to grow up with these and other bands of the time. Pink Floyd toured with the Wall two years running and I was lucky enough to see them both times at Earls Court in London which sadly is no longer there.Keep up the good work and I hope you carry on enjoying your Pink Floyd journey because each video puts a smile on my face and makes me appreciate how lucky I was.
I remember being 12,yrs old taking the train from the Bronx to NYC and waiting on a massive line to buy this album at tower records on Times Square day it was released. Don’t worry to much about understanding the lyrics. Just enjoy the vibe. If you go back later you’ll get the meaning. BTW Great Job With the Channel Miss Stacey
The video is actually made out of two songs from the album 'The Wall'. It starts with the song 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' where the teacher first is bullying Pink = Roger because of him writing poetry and continues at the teachers home where he is dominated by his wife. After this the actual 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' is following. On the als album this section starts with 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1', followed by 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' and continued by 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1'.
Yep! And on the album, “Another Brick in The Wall, Part 2” leads directly into “Mother,” which Stacey has covered already. I’m really looking forward to her listening to The Wall all the way through.
When I hear the song, it sends shivers down my spine. I felt almost the same way at school, and I was also beaten and mocked for writing poems and stories. I also often can't listen to the song because it makes me so emotional and it brings tears to my eyes.
The poem the teacherquoted is a part of the lyrics of the song Money from the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. In 'The Wall' Album the main character is named Pink (by the way Pink was already used in the Song 'Have a Cigar' from the Album 'Wish You Were Here'. Pink = Roger (in the movie played by Bob Geldorf -> the one who initiated Live Aid in 1985 and Live 8 in 2005 -> the last time all 4 members of Pink Floyed played a convert together) is the one building the wall around himself. A wall were many of the people surrounding him like his mother, his teachers, his wife etc. helped to complete it.
By the way that's the long version of another brick in the Wall, when it came out as I remember it was the short radio version of it you still heard some of the kids in the back ground and the teacher part but a big portion of the longer part that starts at the first of the song was cut off, probably due to length and time of the song so it could be played on the radio. That's reminds me of another song I believe it was Donna Summers and it was called the radio, if I'm wrong forgive me my ole mind isn't as sharp as it used to be, that's what happens when you get old. I checked the song on Donna Summers it's called (on the radio) pretty good song you might give it a listen, there's literally hundreds of thousands of songs that you can listen to from back in the days but to meny to list here lol.
Funny cos I don’t. I hate the movie version. It completely detracts from the song and should not be the first time someone experiences this classic. Unfortunately all YT reactors pull up the one cos it’s the one on YT and they don’t know any better.
That's from the movie version of the wall. Plus to put it in context this in the 1940s, so different era.. You have to start with Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, Animals, The wall, the final cut....
So now imagine it's the early 1980's you've seen pink floyd twice. Then they release and tour " the wall ". The show was amazing, the music was better, and the party outside was crazy😮❤😊
This song, along with "Money" (from the Dark Side of the Moon album), were a lot of people's introduction to Pink Floyd. The band had been around for quite a while prior to this, but these were their first songs played on mainstream top 40 radio. That opened the floodgates for a lot of new Floyd fans... and the rest is history!
Another brick in the wall was number 1 in the UK when I was at school and basically about as miserable as I have ever been in my entire life. This song still means so much to me over 40 years later.
You should listen to Marooned by Pink Floyd. Ideally find the official music video too, it's spectacular and was only put together in 2014 but hits much harder now with what's happening in Ukraine. In fact they won a GRAMMY for it.
My generation went though schools just like that. This song resonated with all of us. Being in school wasn't about learning, it was about being moulded by bullying. You either fell in and took your place in the bullying hierarchy or you suffered.
The student-teacher dynamic in this video represents the student-teacher dynamic in england all of those decades ago. My friend's dad often refers to this video to describe exactly what school was like over there back then. Cheers! Looking forward to more PF. :-)
The album was created with the idea of building a real wall between the band and the audience during the concert, representing the frustration the band felt from endless tours and a distracted, rowdy crowd. By '79, with punk on the scene, the audience had changed-big crowds, lots of alcohol and drugs, mosh pits, pogo dancing, and even insults if the band didn’t play their hits. The band's irritation reached its peak when Waters spat in a kid's face in the front row during the Animals tour. The Wall concert had a cathartic purpose; in the end, the wall comes down and the Pink Floyd reconcile with their fans. The movie came out shortly after and it's still worth checking out.
The video is actually part of the 1982's "Pink Floyd - The Wall." It's a brilliant tear-jerker which explains the album, perfectly, for me. When I saw it 38 years ago, i s changed forever! "Another Brick In The Wall" was played religiously throughout the '80s, and I never got tired of it. Thank you for your insights & I can't wait for you to review the album.
Look what there teaching kids today in England's schools, like back in the day do your job do not complain. The schools are mind control work until you retire then die quick so they do not have to pay a pension. Unless your rich the rest are screwed. Loved this song when I was at school, sing it all time got the cane for saying I don't need no education to the headmaster.
YES ! WATCH THE MOVIE ! Be prepared to pause often to regain your emotional balance Listen to the lyrics of the last song as the credits roll at the very end of the film.
I watched your perceptions from your Mother reaction, and noticed them here in this reaction as well. You definitely need to watch the movie to know and understand these songs and the full story. (When the teacher was reading the poem words in front of the class, hint, they were from the song Money - another of your excellent Pink Floyd reactions). It has been awhile since I've seen it, and this video reminded me of it all. I need to watch it again myself. I love your mutual reactions to your Pink Floyd songs. Keep doing Floyd songs. There are oh, so many.
This was the one and only Number.1 by Pink Floyd, a real seminal moment in music. Even today this song sounds so fresh, it still sounds so revelant for todays times. The Wall is a great album, you really need to listen to it through, it has so many layers, a true concept album.
You’re RAD!!! I use to love putting on music back as a youngster and watching peoples reactions and it’s a gorgeous experience. Keep on keeping on with your Chanel💯
I was in 1st year of secondery school uk when i heard this song , by our head school teacher in 1979 to a point , it didnt work lol as i turned to a punk lol ad still am at heart lol
You definitely have to watch the Alan Parker movie where this video was cut out of. I was in school when it came out in the early 80s and it was THE big underground hit. But you are right, before doing it, go for the whole great concept albums, especially Animals. Don't forget Roger Water wrote the song out of his childhood memories from the post-war era where schools and teaching, especially in England, were a bit differnt.
“The Wall” represents a division between the person in the song and other people. “The wall” built by different people in our lives. This makes more sense when the songs are played in order.
I was 11 years old when this song came out. Living in Germany we don't have school like it was in GB. Our teachers were more modern. But - this song get the hymn of our generation, too!
Hey there , love your pink floyd videos . I was wondering how you were going to react to the meT grinder. , loved it and hope you do all pink floyd videos . 🙏🙏🙏 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 🙏🙏🙏 Thankyou ⚘
This album dropped when I was going into high school in the fall of 1979…its depth and its meaning has changed for me several times over the years. Pink Floyd continues to hit me unexpectedly and hold a mirror up to who I think I am.
That was all part of life as a kid growing up, sometimes you run into teachers that you seemed to not hit it off and would make it tough on you, but in the long run little did they know they were making you mentally stronger and tougher and that's why you don't mess with the older generation they were brought up different than any of the younger generations of the last 30 year's. But now I will also say there we're some outstanding teachers also that gave you what you needed be it a good education or a good paddling when you didn't do what you were supposed to do or be a good kid in class lol, a lot of music like Heart and Pink Floyd, ACDC, or Led Zeppelin, and meny more classic bands like the Eagles and Journey as a teenager I had the pleasure of growing up listening to these iconic bands and the time I had running loose outdoors in the streets of my small town or deep in the woods exploring the trails and creeks and rivers unsupervised sometimes just by myself or with friends those were the days and times ill never forget, im now in my fifty's, but I still remember a lot of things and a lot of songs rock, classic rock, 80tys big hair bands and round it all off with classical and country music i believe I've just about heard every song out there with the exception of probably a few that i wasn't interested in even though im not much into rap I've even heard some of it also.
Fellows, this is old discipine method between the 40's and 60's. THere are some rare "traditional" schools like that, but nowadays no student is harassed in this way by a common teacher (sure we still have some loopy ones time and other - but the are punished, fired, etc...) I remember in the earlies 80's I was in primary school (in a catholic school managed by nuns) and I left the row after the playground to drink some water at the fountain, and this old nun came after me and beat my hand with a paddle that she had tied at her waist. I didn't feel any pain or nothing like that even being just 7 years old. But before I tried to figure what was going on three or five nuns were already over that old lady half pushing, half speaking to her, but taking her away while a young nun keeps talking to me apologysing and trying to explain that nun was senile etc... But that not even bother me beyond this weird general behaviour. Did not hurt me or even scared me. I did not tell that to m mother either because even that time I know enough of my mother to keep her far away of my problems (for sure she would eat that old nun alive no matter how senile she was). Decades later I commented this to my father and he tell me that in his time this was pretty unusual. He studied in a school managed by catholic priests and the paddle was lagely used, And according to him the objctive was not to hurt but humiliate in front of others. Which comes to understand Roger Waters inspiration.
Most artists write music based on their personal experiences. Particularly today. Pink Floyd explores areas in our lives that profoundly go beyond the typical breakup, the mean boyfriend, etc. song. They make you reflect on life as a whole not a momentary snapshot in our lives.
I highly recommend you watch the wall concert with Roger Waters . He was the bass player and main song writer of Pink Floyd before he and the band parted ways. The whole wall album is played while a huge wall is being built in real time between the band and the audience. The whole thing is beyond astonishing to see and hear . I saw it live twice and it was comparable to the pulse concert which I also saw live. It'll blow your mind.
We don’ t need an expert to react Pink’s musics. The best reaction is we saw her enjoying and happy to hear the song and so we are. Good job Stacey you are my favourite.🥰👍🏼
The "poems" that the teacher read to embarrass this boy were lyrics from a song called "Money" - which is great as well. Song just had its 50th anniversary.
Ah ha! So this song rings true to my own experience growing up in an English-style school system out here in the colonies hehe. We had a few teachers of this fellow's sort, and the general feeling was that teachers were to be feared, and children to be 'seen and not heard', as the saying went. Now, being out in a very different environment than England, many of the teachers were less strict than the one depicted, but still. In fact, my mother was a teacher who came from England to teach here in Bermuda, was extremely well educated and well liked by her students. But yes, I do remember Mrs. D, who we did indeed fear, and would certainly have done exactly what we see here depicted lol.
I was in school in the late 60's 70's. Teachers were brutal. If they didn't like you, they would make your life hell. I still stuffer from PTSD to this day from one of my teachers.
Now you understand how we grew up in private schools.I was the youngest the teachers had it in for me because of my brothers. Nun tried to make me well you know. Had to fight to prove yourself. This movie explained the album a whole lot.
Back in those days In New Zealand we had The leather strap on the hand from 5 yrs in Primary school and graduated to the cane on the arse from 10yrs on when we changed schools. I was a regular recipient.
Was fortunate enough to be a member of the London Fire Brigade' standing by' when they filmed some of those scenes, a few miles up the road Full Metal Jacket was filmed. Just for info.
I feel this is the first song most people hear by Pink Floyd and it should be because it was my first Pink Floyd song back in Junior High School and I loved it. And Pink Floyd has been and will always be my favorite band. ❤
You ask what kind of teacher is that . This is a true representation of schooling in Australia and England back in my day , beautiful woman please do yourself a big favour and watch the movie the wall you'll be mesmerised . Love what your doing here . Oz"s biggest fan ❤❤❤
I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉
Conceptually, this song represents ONE “Brick In The Wall”. Pink will be building his wall away from everything a little later. One thing about Pink Floyd that others may have mentioned, Pink Floyd doesn’t really do “Songs”. They do themes/concepts/stories. The Wall is definitely a story.
This song is integral part of the whole conceptual album The Wall. Moreover the video is the part of legendary movie. It is highly recommended to listen the whole album and to watch the whole movie as a solid creation

I went to school in Scotland in the 1960's and believe me, this was NOT out of the ordinary. Teachers were brutal.
Evil nasty bastards. I'm sorry you went through that, its very bad.

Oh no they wernt. They teachers were perfect and you know it.
Pink Floyd are a British national treasure legendary band. 🇬🇧
Pink Floyd is not a British national treasure, it is an incalculable treasure for the whole world, for all countries.
Yes but 🇫🇷is their second country 😀
They are Earth’s national treasure.
It is not a matter of national treasure, it is an individual emotions which everyone on earth could relate to.
Britain produced the best bands during the 60,70,80! As an Italian I am sure about it

IMHO if you isolate yourself to David Gilmore (Pulse Concert for instance) you lose a majority of what Pink Floyd is about, Roger Waters.
@@lords8n Right! Roger Waters wrote the song and sings it. He'd already left the band by the time they did Pulse.
So very true. The full experience would be the studio (or when we were there) concerts with the full band. Excellent point!!
@@StaceyRPGReacts You'd do well to listen to the longer studio version of Money rather than the shortened radio version. It's got the sax. Peace/JT
Pink Floyd the wall needs to be listened (watched) from beginning to end.
Another masterpiece.
Cheerz!!!
It's about teenage rebellion against authority, that stifles creativity. In favor of uniformity. That's the rebellion.
It¨s about educatión in Europe at 50s and v60s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jamesbondbond8388it’s not just the 50’s and 60’s, it’s still happening now, it’s even worse
The album came out when I was a teenager in high school. I must have not have listened to anything else for weeks if not months after that.
@@allisterfiend_2112really?
Bet your teachers couldn't humiliate you and hit you in front of your peers - you guys are blessed - a teacher today hurts your feelings,a teacher in those days devastated you every single day if they didn't like you emotionally, mentally and physically - you don't know what harsh is!
Technically, there's no rebellion. The entire "rebellion scene" was just a daydream by little "pink". He was humiliated by the teacher and went on a mental journey that showed how the kids are being ground up by the system and put out as unthinking pieces of meat. Then he imagines a violent rebellion where they burn down the school, and the teacher. Then it snaps back to reality in the classroom.
Educators of the era when the Pink Floyd band members were school-aged were very stern, and their goal was uniformity over individualism. The kids weren't rebelling against learning per se, but were rather rebelling against that type of education. Kids growing up in the era of the postwar environment lived in a dramatically different world than the students of today. As a 59 year old man & father, I have seen many changes in educational processes for students.
And yes, you must watch the movie "The Wall" to see how everything ties together. Pink Floyd music is rarely about a song being the body of work. Typically, the entire album is the body of work, with all of the different song titles tying in together. Thank you for your interest in such iconic music like Pink Floyd.
You used the word 'individualism'. But maybe you meant 'individuality'?
I really don't care for 'individualism' 😕, but I truly love 'individuality'! 🙂
"We don't need no thought control" had a huge impact on me when I first heard the song.
Me too. Made everything make sense.
"thought control"... It is everywhere! ... but kept transparent! 🤔
When I was a kid, my friends and I marched around the playground chanting "We don't need no education!" 😂
lol - We might have done that, too, but I was in college when this one came out.
@MrDDiRusso ... 😁I think we all need education! ... It may be the meaning of life, and why we are here!
... 🤔we are now living in the "information age", and I LOVE it! ... Access to SO MUCH information, so, at
74 yo, I'm finally enjoying "self education"! ... AND I'm in control!! 🤪👍🤣
❤❤❤😂
So did we.
Yea we did!! 😎😎
The poetry that the teacher was reading are the lyrics to a Pink Floyd song. Can you remember which one have you done money yet? Yes it’s money. I don’t think you’ve done money. Check it out. It’s a good one. It’s off the best concept album, dark side of the Moon.
Woooh I never knew this! Been listing to this song since the day it was released, and I never made the connection!
Should absolutely do Money from the Dark Side of the Moon album. It just keeps adding to their range.
@@stevedahlberg8680 do you think Stacy should do the studio version or live? Maybe the Pulse concert?
I’d never noticed that!! So cool. Thanks!
Studio album version, hands down. (There was a studio radio version, no solos ... :-/ ) @@Phgray58
The director is Alan Parker. He did an entire incredible videoclip of this movie in 1979. English Victorian education was really hard in the past. Very impressive and visual. The story of Pink, the main character, is actually very sad. A rock star with a traumatic past.
Nick Mason stated in an interview that it was not education but the corporal punishment that was the protest.
Because free speech isn't as free now as it was back then.
Doesn't matter what he " stated." The message became school, thank goodness we " got" the message which applies today.
Now we're at the other extreme.
@@norwegianblue2017 Quite true the other extreme, I lived through that era, some very brutal teachers there where back in those days. everything is f###ed up now
Q. "What kind of teacher is that?" A. One that was prevalent in the British 20th century education system.
what could be better than seeing how someone else, in this case Stacey, enjoys Pink Floyd
Thank you for supporting ❤️
@@StaceyRPGReacts no thanks, have a nice weekend!
The record is better than the movie , in my opinion.
The poetry the boy is penning are actually lyrics of an earlier song ' Money ' I think it's on Wish you were here, could be wrong those were heady days. The anticipation for the Wall Album was huge ,the photograph next to the phone is Sir Bob Geldoff who played Pink in the movie.
@@StaceyRPGReacts if you want to understand how education really works search for John Taylor Gatto, Charlotte Iserbyt and Antony Sutton (the last book : white cover with a skull, there is a chapter on education, but much much more)
@Lukeyboy125. Money was a track on dark side of the moon.
When this song hit the radio stations, I had just entered boot camp. So every time our Drill instructor gave us a "break" this was playing on someone's radio!
The Wall played practically non-stop on FM radio when it came out. One of the great concept albums of all time. Also a great animated, surrealist musical drama film.
Well said!
Yeah, Stacey, I'm glad (10:11) you're planning to watch the film. It's also worth a listen of the album uninterrupted, without the film (though perhaps with a lyric sheet). And further, there's a channel called Virgin Rock that's going through an analysis of it (and has been, over months -- it's not quite completed yet, but I fully expect it will be in due course), which... has just an amazing analysis, in terms of both music theory and meanings and... yeah, worth checking out, when you're ready.
Gerrard Scarf legendary satirical cartoonist ...and later Spitting image inspiration.. Mrs Thatcher with the beaky nose and Steely eyes the voice dripping with distance.🧐
It' great to see younger generations so enthusiastic about Pink Floyds music. On the lyric video of the song Time, during David's guitar solo the lyrics said, "Eargasm." I think that describes it perfectly. Great reaction.
Yep, I like to see young folks 'discovering' music from my generation. So much of the contemporary music nowadays is below standard, cookie-cutter nonsense. That makes me sound like an old fossil.
I love the Pink Floyd path that you are following Stacey! Your reactions are heartwarming! :)
Thank you so much! ❤️
(Apologies for any redundancies)
What you saw was an excerpt of the 1982 feature film directed by Alan Parker based on the 1979 album. So it also has the prior song “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”, which helps set up the “education” of Pink.
Gerald Scarfe was also the de-facto production designer for the film in addition to providing the animation (a lot of it was already made for the live shows). This included the maze / conveyor belt / students turned into mincemeat. (Gerald Scarfe did do a separate music video of that song specifically and it was made because it became a Christmas #1 and thus would air on Top of the Tops)
Yes, this is the one time Pink Floyd flirted with disco. What was originally just going to be a one verse “interlude”. It was due to Bob Ezrin, one of the album’s producers, who could hear it as a disco tune and that’s how you hear it today =]
The children’s voices were from kids attending the Islington Green School, London. This was thanks to an adventurous music teacher who offered to use a “field trip” as a way to get them to sing a “subversive” song.
And yes, you got it out of the bat and way better than some of the UK press at the time, who even called it “obscene”. In fact, this was adopted as a “protest song” in South Africa.
This song was a UK No.1 single at xmas 1979
Also UK's first no.1 of the 1980s
The year I left school and yes I have the single 🙂
Yes, I remember. 👍
It also got a lot of play in the US.
Canada loved this song as well. However, today I think we need some more education.
I graduated high school in June of '79 when this song was huge on the radio. Our graduating senior class voted overwhelmingly to use this as our class song at graduation. The school refused to play it and replaced it with Feelings by Chuck Mangione. Funny thing, I went on to become a middle school science teacher. The best concert I ever saw was Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988. They played for nearly 4 hours. Flew the giant inflatable pig from the Animals album cover from the stage to a crane outside the stadium.
That was Roger Waters yelling out “You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat!” Rogers Waters was the bass player, and one of the founding members. He also wrote many of the songs. He left the group in the 1980s. That was Richard Wright’s son-in-law playing the bass in the Pulse concert. Richard Wright was the keyboardist. Roger Waters came back for a fundraising concert in 2006. That was a nice reunion. Your reactions are very professional, Stacey. Thank you again.
We always said you cant get any P___y if you dont beat your meat, when we were kids.
Yes bassist Guy Pratt was Richards son in law
Fundador junto a Syd
Its worth listening to the whole album. The "The Wall" album by Pink Floyd is a concept album that tells the story of a rock star named Pink who is struggling with fame, drug addiction, and mental illness. Pink is left with feelings of abandonment caused by the death of his father in World War II. He is traumatised by his dealings with authority figures such as an over-protective mother and abusive schoolteachers and in the ultimate act of defiance, becomes a rock star. "The Wall" is a complex and ambitious album that explores themes of isolation, alienation, and the search for meaning in life. It is a powerful and moving work that continues to resonate with listeners today.
There's a lot more to The Wall than that though...it's a massive statement on how toxic colonialism is, and how people need to free themselves (break down the 'walls' of isolation that the psycopaths who run colonialism, have managed to brainwash many in Western society into building around themselves) ..It's about how colonialism attempts to destroy 'real community' and to isolate people , and to make them become mindless consumers ''What shall we do, to fill the empty spaces'' (from the song 'Empty Spaces' ..and chenck out the full film version with the amazing animation about consumerism) ....The Wall is a work of absolute genius and it's more relevant than ever........Thankfully more and more people are waking up and hence colonialism is about to thankfully die, as more and more people return (and advance) to community living and community values again..sharing resources and caring for each other again......as per lyrics like ''Togehter we stand, divided we fall'' from the song 'Hey You'
Please check out the live version of Another Brick in the Wall from the PULSE concert. It is outstanding!
It is the best version of ABITW solo ever. ❤
Can you believe this is a disco song, even Pink Floyd had to embark on that train. The song played every where there was a dance floor.
" Sorrow " from the pulse. Another great guitar solo.
Time, the best solo of David Gilmour
The first song was The Happiest Days Of Our Lives leading into ABITW. You are watching the versions from The Wall feature film. There was another less brutal promo music video for the song
You really understood it all, impressive to see you get “under the skin” of Pink Floyd, their music and the meaning of it all. It as a really adventure to follow your journey here! 🎸👍
Another great reaction Stacey, you’re getting it. It’s great to see the younger generation seeing the same things that I saw 50 years ago. Great music doesn’t die. ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Stacy I find your reaction videos to Pink Floyd enjoyable and interesting.Seeing young people like yourself learning to appreciate the music I grew up with make me realize how lucky I was to grow up with these and other bands of the time.
Pink Floyd toured with the Wall two years running and I was lucky enough to see them both times at Earls Court in London which sadly is no longer there.Keep up the good work and I hope you carry on enjoying your Pink Floyd journey because each video puts a smile on my face and makes me appreciate how lucky I was.
I'm64. And agree with you! We grew up in a great era for music!!!!
School was a LOT more strict back then. Great reaction, you did a good job grasping the underlying meaning. Intelligence is refreshing, thank you.
I remember being 12,yrs old taking the train from the Bronx to NYC and waiting on a massive line to buy this album at tower records on Times Square day it was released. Don’t worry to much about understanding the lyrics. Just enjoy the vibe. If you go back later you’ll get the meaning. BTW Great Job With the Channel Miss Stacey
Cannot wait to see your reaction to Shine On You Crazy Diamond
And Great Gig In The Sky - has she done that yet? Also Wish You Were Here. (Oh! Just saw she has done that one. 🙂 )
The video is actually made out of two songs from the album 'The Wall'. It starts with the song 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' where the teacher first is bullying Pink = Roger because of him writing poetry and continues at the teachers home where he is dominated by his wife. After this the actual 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' is following. On the als album this section starts with 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1', followed by 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' and continued by 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1'.
Yep! And on the album, “Another Brick in The Wall, Part 2” leads directly into “Mother,” which Stacey has covered already. I’m really looking forward to her listening to The Wall all the way through.
Thank You my early years was in a Catholic School until 5th grade in Puerto Rico then we moved to Va and were enrolled in Public School BIG Shock.
Sorrow (the pulse version) is another great song to react to.
Yes we need that reaction asap!
When I hear the song, it sends shivers down my spine. I felt almost the same way at school, and I was also beaten and mocked for writing poems and stories. I also often can't listen to the song because it makes me so emotional and it brings tears to my eyes.
The poem the teacherquoted is a part of the lyrics of the song Money from the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. In 'The Wall' Album the main character is named Pink (by the way Pink was already used in the Song 'Have a Cigar' from the Album 'Wish You Were Here'. Pink = Roger (in the movie played by Bob Geldorf -> the one who initiated Live Aid in 1985 and Live 8 in 2005 -> the last time all 4 members of Pink Floyed played a convert together) is the one building the wall around himself. A wall were many of the people surrounding him like his mother, his teachers, his wife etc. helped to complete it.
By the way that's the long version of another brick in the Wall, when it came out as I remember it was the short radio version of it you still heard some of the kids in the back ground and the teacher part but a big portion of the longer part that starts at the first of the song was cut off, probably due to length and time of the song so it could be played on the radio. That's reminds me of another song I believe it was Donna Summers and it was called the radio, if I'm wrong forgive me my ole mind isn't as sharp as it used to be, that's what happens when you get old. I checked the song on Donna Summers it's called (on the radio) pretty good song you might give it a listen, there's literally hundreds of thousands of songs that you can listen to from back in the days but to meny to list here lol.
I love that you picked the movie version of this song.
Funny cos I don’t. I hate the movie version. It completely detracts from the song and should not be the first time someone experiences this classic. Unfortunately all YT reactors pull up the one cos it’s the one on YT and they don’t know any better.
That's from the movie version of the wall. Plus to put it in context this in the 1940s, so different era.. You have to start with Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, Animals, The wall, the final cut....
Very good Stacey,you got the most of this song. Keep up the good work. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤
So now imagine it's the early 1980's you've seen pink floyd twice. Then they release and tour " the wall ". The show was amazing, the music was better, and the party outside was crazy😮❤😊
This song, along with "Money" (from the Dark Side of the Moon album), were a lot of people's introduction to Pink Floyd. The band had been around for quite a while prior to this, but these were their first songs played on mainstream top 40 radio. That opened the floodgates for a lot of new Floyd fans... and the rest is history!
Another brick in the wall was number 1 in the UK when I was at school and basically about as miserable as I have ever been in my entire life. This song still means so much to me over 40 years later.
You should listen to Marooned by Pink Floyd. Ideally find the official music video too, it's spectacular and was only put together in 2014 but hits much harder now with what's happening in Ukraine. In fact they won a GRAMMY for it.
My generation went though schools just like that. This song resonated with all of us. Being in school wasn't about learning, it was about being moulded by bullying. You either fell in and took your place in the bullying hierarchy or you suffered.
Stacey you are a true Gem! Love watching your reactions. And yes my profile picture is a NASA picture of the Dark Side of the Moon
The student-teacher dynamic in this video represents the student-teacher dynamic in england all of those decades ago. My friend's dad often refers to this video to describe exactly what school was like over there back then. Cheers! Looking forward to more PF. :-)
This video is from the film The Wall starring Bob Geldof as Pink
I like the bit when he organised everything on the floor on drugs
The album was created with the idea of building a real wall between the band and the audience during the concert, representing the frustration the band felt from endless tours and a distracted, rowdy crowd. By '79, with punk on the scene, the audience had changed-big crowds, lots of alcohol and drugs, mosh pits, pogo dancing, and even insults if the band didn’t play their hits. The band's irritation reached its peak when Waters spat in a kid's face in the front row during the Animals tour. The Wall concert had a cathartic purpose; in the end, the wall comes down and the Pink Floyd reconcile with their fans. The movie came out shortly after and it's still worth checking out.
Great reaction, one more time. Hugs from Italy
The video is actually part of the 1982's "Pink Floyd - The Wall." It's a brilliant tear-jerker which explains the album, perfectly, for me. When I saw it 38 years ago, i s changed forever! "Another Brick In The Wall" was played religiously throughout the '80s, and I never got tired of it. Thank you for your insights & I can't wait for you to review the album.
The 1st Pink Floyd album should be the very first one released in 1967 with original member Syd Barret

Alright so who can remember copying this to cassette back in the day? Wow, this took me back a few decades!! Thank you!!
A great band to do reaction vids to is Rush. Any song from the Permanent Waves album would be a good place to start:-)
I love the way the younger generation react to the older music. This is the music i grew up on. This song is still applicable to the life today.
from the movie, "the wall" a must see
I remember leaving school in 1979 and I also remember getting the cane. This was how the UK WAS.
Look what there teaching kids today in England's schools, like back in the day do your job do not complain. The schools are mind control work until you retire then die quick so they do not have to pay a pension. Unless your rich the rest are screwed. Loved this song when I was at school, sing it all time got the cane for saying I don't need no education to the headmaster.
This would be your gateway to the movie The Wall. It is an essential Pink Floyd experience.
YES ! WATCH THE MOVIE ! Be prepared to pause often to regain your emotional balance Listen to the lyrics of the last song as the credits roll at the very end of the film.
I watched your perceptions from your Mother reaction, and noticed them here in this reaction as well. You definitely need to watch the movie to know and understand these songs and the full story. (When the teacher was reading the poem words in front of the class, hint, they were from the song Money - another of your excellent Pink Floyd reactions). It has been awhile since I've seen it, and this video reminded me of it all. I need to watch it again myself. I love your mutual reactions to your Pink Floyd songs. Keep doing Floyd songs. There are oh, so many.
This was the one and only Number.1 by Pink Floyd, a real seminal moment in music. Even today this song sounds so fresh, it still sounds so revelant for todays times. The Wall is a great album, you really need to listen to it through, it has so many layers, a true concept album.
We were a lucky generation to have such socially aware bands popping up everywhere with unique and unforgettable music,nice reaction 👍🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️
You’re RAD!!! I use to love putting on music back as a youngster and watching peoples reactions and it’s a gorgeous experience. Keep on keeping on with your Chanel💯
Pink Floyd has been one 1⃣ of my favourite groups ❤️1️⃣⬆️1️⃣⬆️1️⃣👁❗️🎶🎵
This song tossed me right back to the mid sixties. Two years in a row. Just my luck.
More than 50 years and still touches people that recognise music and lyrics
I was in 1st year of secondery school uk when i heard this song , by our head school teacher in 1979 to a point , it didnt work lol as i turned to a punk lol ad still am at heart lol
oops missed out the word MAKE in my last post
You definitely have to watch the Alan Parker movie where this video was cut out of. I was in school when it came out in the early 80s and it was THE big underground hit. But you are right, before doing it, go for the whole great concept albums, especially Animals.
Don't forget Roger Water wrote the song out of his childhood memories from the post-war era where schools and teaching, especially in England, were a bit differnt.
This movie 🍿 never gets dusty in my home.
The story is DEEP.
Please do a live reaction of it.
Your life will never be the same.
“The Wall” represents a division between the person in the song and other people. “The wall” built by different people in our lives. This makes more sense when the songs are played in order.
I was 11 years old when this song came out. Living in Germany we don't have school like it was in GB. Our teachers were more modern. But - this song get the hymn of our generation, too!
Hey there , love your pink floyd videos . I was wondering how you were going to react to the meT grinder. , loved it and hope you do all pink floyd videos .
🙏🙏🙏 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 🙏🙏🙏
Thankyou ⚘
This album dropped when I was going into high school in the fall of 1979…its depth and its meaning has changed for me several times over the years. Pink Floyd continues to hit me unexpectedly and hold a mirror up to who I think I am.
Funky and groovy are apt descriptions.
The 1970s were very funky, and very groovy, lol.
Went to a British boarding school in an Asian country in 70’s and 80’s so I can completely relate to it.
That was all part of life as a kid growing up, sometimes you run into teachers that you seemed to not hit it off and would make it tough on you, but in the long run little did they know they were making you mentally stronger and tougher and that's why you don't mess with the older generation they were brought up different than any of the younger generations of the last 30 year's. But now I will also say there we're some outstanding teachers also that gave you what you needed be it a good education or a good paddling when you didn't do what you were supposed to do or be a good kid in class lol, a lot of music like Heart and Pink Floyd, ACDC, or Led Zeppelin, and meny more classic bands like the Eagles and Journey as a teenager I had the pleasure of growing up listening to these iconic bands and the time I had running loose outdoors in the streets of my small town or deep in the woods exploring the trails and creeks and rivers unsupervised sometimes just by myself or with friends those were the days and times ill never forget, im now in my fifty's, but I still remember a lot of things and a lot of songs rock, classic rock, 80tys big hair bands and round it all off with classical and country music i believe I've just about heard every song out there with the exception of probably a few that i wasn't interested in even though im not much into rap I've even heard some of it also.
Fellows, this is old discipine method between the 40's and 60's. THere are some rare "traditional" schools like that, but nowadays no student is harassed in this way by a common teacher (sure we still have some loopy ones time and other - but the are punished, fired, etc...) I remember in the earlies 80's I was in primary school (in a catholic school managed by nuns) and I left the row after the playground to drink some water at the fountain, and this old nun came after me and beat my hand with a paddle that she had tied at her waist. I didn't feel any pain or nothing like that even being just 7 years old. But before I tried to figure what was going on three or five nuns were already over that old lady half pushing, half speaking to her, but taking her away while a young nun keeps talking to me apologysing and trying to explain that nun was senile etc... But that not even bother me beyond this weird general behaviour. Did not hurt me or even scared me. I did not tell that to m mother either because even that time I know enough of my mother to keep her far away of my problems (for sure she would eat that old nun alive no matter how senile she was). Decades later I commented this to my father and he tell me that in his time this was pretty unusual. He studied in a school managed by catholic priests and the paddle was lagely used, And according to him the objctive was not to hurt but humiliate in front of others. Which comes to understand Roger Waters inspiration.
They played the "Wall" concert in Berlin after the Berlin Wall came down.
Most artists write music based on their personal experiences. Particularly today. Pink Floyd explores areas in our lives that profoundly go beyond the typical breakup, the mean boyfriend, etc. song. They make you reflect on life as a whole not a momentary snapshot in our lives.
When this album came out,we would eat mushrooms,smoke weed and listen verry carefully. The movie was banned in canada for a long time.
I highly recommend you watch the wall concert with Roger Waters . He was the bass player and main song writer of Pink Floyd before he and the band parted ways.
The whole wall album is played while a huge wall is being built in real time between the band and the audience. The whole thing is beyond astonishing to see and hear .
I saw it live twice and it was comparable to the pulse concert which I also saw live.
It'll blow your mind.
We don’ t need an expert to react Pink’s musics. The best reaction is we saw her enjoying and happy to hear the song and so we are. Good job Stacey you are my favourite.🥰👍🏼
The "poems" that the teacher read to embarrass this boy were lyrics from a song called "Money" - which is great as well. Song just had its 50th anniversary.
Ah ha! So this song rings true to my own experience growing up in an English-style school system out here in the colonies hehe. We had a few teachers of this fellow's sort, and the general feeling was that teachers were to be feared, and children to be 'seen and not heard', as the saying went. Now, being out in a very different environment than England, many of the teachers were less strict than the one depicted, but still. In fact, my mother was a teacher who came from England to teach here in Bermuda, was extremely well educated and well liked by her students.
But yes, I do remember Mrs. D, who we did indeed fear, and would certainly have done exactly what we see here depicted lol.
I was in school in the late 60's 70's. Teachers were brutal. If they didn't like you, they would make your life hell. I still stuffer from PTSD to this day from one of my teachers.
Same for me. Late 60s early 70s. That's exactly what it was like. It was so bad that I dropped out at age 15.
Bastards @@toby9999
When you watch movie The Wall you will finally be able to meet this boy's mother (from the song Mother).
Great reactions
This isn't the single version, this is a clip from the film this is from as the concept album was made into a film :)
The phenomenon of the Greatest band ever Pink
Floyd ❤❤❤
Now you understand how we grew up in private schools.I was the youngest the teachers had it in for me because of my brothers. Nun tried to make me well you know. Had to fight to prove yourself. This movie explained the album a whole lot.
Back in those days In New Zealand we had The leather strap on the hand from 5 yrs in Primary school and graduated to the cane on the arse from 10yrs on when we changed schools. I was a regular recipient.
The wall. The greatest music movie ever. Every inch is filled with scenes like this. Some even more wild.
Was fortunate enough to be a member of the London Fire Brigade' standing by' when they filmed some of those scenes, a few miles up the road Full Metal Jacket was filmed. Just for info.
I feel this is the first song most people hear by Pink Floyd and it should be because it was my first Pink Floyd song back in Junior High School and I loved it. And Pink Floyd has been and will always be my favorite band. ❤
One that comes to mind is Alice Cooper's "School's Out" in which the school is blown to pieces.
You ask what kind of teacher is that . This is a true representation of schooling in Australia and England back in my day , beautiful woman please do yourself a big favour and watch the movie the wall you'll be mesmerised . Love what your doing here . Oz"s biggest fan ❤❤❤
I'll explain David Gilmour's style.
Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote:
David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement.
His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror.
David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer.
Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer.
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines.
About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform.
For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking.
A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos.
I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it.
When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...."
I thought, WHAT THE HELL?
I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time.
Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning.
That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement.
Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!"
All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time.
However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time.
If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired)
It goes from B down to E and repeats.
David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play."
To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist.
Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉
Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤
Alice Cooper said something like,
"Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉
❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉
Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉
Conceptually, this song represents ONE “Brick In The Wall”. Pink will be building his wall away from everything a little later. One thing about Pink Floyd that others may have mentioned, Pink Floyd doesn’t really do “Songs”. They do themes/concepts/stories. The Wall is definitely a story.
This song is integral part of the whole conceptual album The Wall. Moreover the video is the part of legendary movie.
It is highly recommended to listen the whole album and to watch the whole movie as a solid creation
