    As a lifetime guitarist I can sell you a HUGE musical clue... there will always be " Shred " guitarists... very technical and fast ie. Malmsteen, Rhoades, Van Halen, etc, etc but very few guitarists can play so FEW notes and get the same amount of emotion out if it as David Gilmour. I love the others but Gilmour has a one of a kind ability in " economy " playing.

    • @Buddha-of8fk
      @Buddha-of8fk 16 днів тому +16

      That’s because Gilmour understands that the music is important as a whole. It’s not about the shredding and going out of the way to make the solo noticeable. It about the solo belonging in the song.

Next morning before I woke up, my gf had gone out and bought the record. She came home and started playing it. I woke up like I was still in some kind of dream, the sound was so amazing and hypnotic. Eventually, realizing I was not dreaming, I came out to find out what it was and she showed me the Pink Floyd Animals album cover. It was an amazing experience

    Ohohoh Stacey! I really start loving you more with each day and reaction (you are exactly as emotional as me when it comes to music - and I am a hobby musician of many genres), you do a phantastic job!!!! I was just watching something else on UA-cam and what do I see?! You did Dogs! Oh myyyyy Animals has been my all time fav album since I first heard it in school in 1985. Now I have to tell you a little story:
    One year later I was in London for a school exchange from our Swiss high school and found out, that this "factory" on the cover was there, but had no idea where exactly. And don't forget, that was before the internet! On my last day in the city I spotted the smokestacks in the background, took a look at the map and saw it: Battersea Power Station. I grabbed my friend who wanted to become a photographer and forced him to come with me to the trip south of the Thames. After a one hour walk through the seediest neighbourhood I ever saw til then (I was a 17 year old Swiss schoolboy :D) we arrived there. It was abandoned, so we climed the fence and took some pics. Since then I regularly came back to London and no trip, if shopping, theater, business related or visting friends is complete for me without visiting "the factory". Nowadays it's not recognizable anymore as it is one of the most posh and modern neighbourhoods of the city.
    As Dogs is most of Side 1 of the album, you could have done the whole concept with Pigs and Sheep on Side 2 :D

    Some context of the album Animals and the songs meanings:
    Loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning” herd of sheep. Whereas the novella focuses on Stalinism, the album is a critique of capitalism and differs again in that the sheep eventually rise up to overpower the dogs. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which, in the words of author Glenn Povey, "described the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of mere animals"
    These dogs are the cutthroat businessmen who feel they “have to be trusted by the people that [they] lie to / So that when they turn their backs on [the dogs] / [they]'ll get the chance to put the knife in”.

    Where do I start with this masterpiece. It has been deeply ingrained life for 20 years. When I was in high school I would go to sleep to this song playing on my surround sound I built in my bedroom every night for years. It was part of my nighttime ritual. It is up there as one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever. More recently however I played this song while I was putting to sleep my beloved 16yo pit Bull Bean Sprout. I haven’t been able to listen to the song since that day 6 months ago. Thank you Stacey for helping reintroduce it back into my life with such appreciation and joy. This song NEVER gets old and is the definition of infectious. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of this incredible album. BTW please research Roger Waters, he is the brain child of nearly all Pink Floyd and half the vocal genius on this song. He also wrote the whole album.

    The folks below are all giving you good clues to the music. Once Dark Side came out they were thrown into the musical world of the music business touring worldwide and being taken advantage of. The album "Wish You Were Here" started the bands "hatred" of the music business. This album takes that idea feeling hate for the music business to a peak. Dogs represents the people who are pushing the band in order to fill their greedy bags with money from PF. You are right on about the song "record business individuals and their greed" plus your thoughts about who they were talking about. Cheers, K

    The moment you listen to this, and realize that there were no dogs barking, only David rubbing strings on his guitar while playing with the wha wha peddle, is the moment minds are blown. This song was supposed to be on the Wish You Were Here album. Its original name was 'You Got to be Crazy' and was removed from the list of songs for Wish You Were Here after Syd's visit. This composition was meant to be one of the 3 compositions to follow up Darkside of the Moon, as the band wasn't happy with Darkside and felt they left a lot to be improved on. At the end of the Darkside tour, they played some gigs in Europe for nearly 2 years, working on these 3 compositions which they had planned on making an album with them. The Animals album is their epic form IMHO.
    Love the reactions, remember to keep a watch for pigs on the wings.

      I can see that.... I can see them being at odds with Darkside, despite it being so enormously popular.. I can see them considering DSoM too.. radio friendly maybe.. too accessible too pop even. which is why Animals is such a ..oh.. such a F.U. to the record and music industry.. and label as they were undoubtedly pushing for more radio friendly songs and Animals is anything but that. For me - Pompeii (the first one) is Pink at their height.. at their most powerful.. playing an empty stadium even
