Am I getting anything done today? No. No, I am not. I am binging this guy discovering my favorite songs and falling in love with them all over again. I've accomplished exactly nothing and I regret nothing!
@@douglasstephens9481 Yeah, the man responsible for quite a few of the greatest solos of all time isn't voted very high. It's because you have too many uppity people who judge it like wine, and have clearly no idea what they're really taking about. A better example would probably be like people who call Picasso a great artist, rather than the autist that he was.
Brian Goley yes it is widely considered one of the greatest. Solos aren't all about speed. Comfortably Numb is straight up passion and soul in every note.
I prefer solo in Time more than comfortablly numb... But this is really ironic and great. people who claim otherwise are just plain ignorant to its beauty. Speed to me is irrelevant. Going fast or using bunch of techniques in one solo doesn't equate greatness.
Jules Gilmour I agree about Time. It's a beautiful solo and once again, I'm sure people will argue but just like Comfortably Numb, according to many magazines, Time is up there on the top solos list as well.
People will have all kinds of suggestions for Floyd, but the best way to experience their music is by listening to the albums in their entirety with headphones on and eyes closed...period
The guitarist, David Gilmour, is one of my biggest influences in music. The second solo in Comfortably Numb is considered one of the best solo's of all time. I'm glad you're enjoying some history in music, friend!
Josh Threeton: I know I`m very much in the minority, but I think the 1st solo is just as valid. Short but expressive, with every note counting. Of course the 2nd solo is a thing of beauty, to be sure.
I guess I was lucky. I grew up in the projects, my dad was a WWII vet that played trumpet, my mom was an Elvis freak, my brothers were into every thing from the Beatles to Floyd, to Sabbath, my sister loved the Jackson 5, my friends listed to everything from the Beastie Boys, Run DMC to Metallica, Def Leppard. I was exposed to everything. I don't discriminate - there would be too much I would've missed out on if I did.
andralfo Haaha, I know what genre they were considered. I’m sure there’s a hundred other bands that people like more, that’s what’s great about being a human and having choices and opinions.
I remember sitting in a car in a corn field somewhere in Alabama, About 16, with pot growing all in the corn and smoke rolling out of the car like a Cheech and Chong movie.lol. with Pink Floyd blasting. Love the 70's
Watch Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb Live Pulse. His guitar solo at the end is over 5 min! AMAZING!!! Best guitar solo ever! Also, in that particular concert, their light show is freaking amazing and part of going to another place with the music. Love your channel!
ian Lynch Especially Dark side. It’s just wrong to put that album on anywhere other then than the beginning and just wrong to turn it off before the end. It’s more like a classical piece that just flows from song to song.
It does my heart good to see a person who hasn’t grown up listening to Floyd and hearing for the first time and can really appreciate the best music! Bravo my friend
You have to check out Comfortably Numb Live at Pulse bro. It will blow you away what they sound like live and the way the show is setup. Pink floyd is best experienced in an altered state.
I went to a Roger Waters concert and I was interested to see who he would have play David Gilmour's part. He had *three different guitarists* play David Gilmour's part.
Now listen to all of these: Time Wish You Were Here Shine on You Crazy Diamond You know what just listen to every Pink Floyd song ever made and you'll never be the same again.
51 yr old guy here. Watching you listen to these songs that I have heard for so long, it is like hearing them for the first time again. Thanks for doing these. It is a real joy to see the pleasure and excitement in your face as you listen. I am jamming heavily now myself. Really enjoyed the Iron Maiden vids.
As one Hip-Hop head to another. . . even if you were a rapper. . DONT do ANYTHING to Dave Gilmour's guitar solo. . . let that magic play with no words, no rhymes, no jingles over it. If you listen closely, you'd realize that he's speaking and has been through the whole session. .if'n ya dig. . . Didnt ya feel it?
gurney85 he talks, laughs, cries and sings through his guitar solos tbh. Ive been bought up on floyd and David gilmour he’s a massive influence on my own guitaring
what I love about these reaction videos is that other cultures are finally listening and finding out that you are not excluded! this music is meant for everyone! love it like we do
The little grin on the dude towards the ending guitar solo........ That’s when you know this beautiful piece of music can just reach out and touch the feelings of anyone!!
Mate, you're on the edge of the most amazing musical rabbit hole . Pink Floyd are an experience that will take you places. I promise after you've heard one or two more songs you will be saying the same .
Do you think he would benefit by knowing the history of the band, the history of Roger Waters, in the making of The Wall? It's a great album, I'd certainly be here for that. Or is he better off going in not knowing? He reacts to lyrics very well and the lyrics to The Wall tell a story. The story encompasses the entire album. So yeah he'd have to do the entire thing. Love that idea.
I look back, because listening to this song for the first time was a transformative experience, some things you just wish you could experience for the first time twice.
Land Of Soil I do to. I’m just happy I didn’t just listen to one thing. Now I can say I hate CUNTry and cRAP. Bluegrass has some amazing musicians also.
It finally dawned on me that Hefner is a total fucking sham. He and that fake ass persona he plays up for the vids is only out for clicks, subs and whatever $$$ he can get outta this. He and KTF were my favorites. Now KTF is alone at the top. There's no doubt in my mind that he's legit, genuinely cares and about and most importantly RESPECTS the music. Vin and Sori are good, too, but unfortunately (for my attention span) their vids are about 30 minutes too long.
I have now watched you fall in love with Pink Floyd with great pleasure! It makes me so happy in my soul to see you exploring and enjoying;;;finding meaning and connection with this music. It has been so for me for many years. They speak to my soul on so many levels. I will pray that you continue to open your mind and heart in this way. You have shown me that there are kindred souls out there and that there, people worth knowing. Thank you. P.S. May I suggest trying Pearl Jam or Eddie Vedder on his own...they are kindred souls also.
The Wall is a concept album, you would understand the intro to this song better if you listened to the entire album, which tells a self contained story across all the songs. The songs are great individually, but they work even better as an overall whole.
"One simply does not listen to pink floyd on shuffle" They are rock operas that loose so much when you pull individual tracks out. Most of their albums didn't even have tracks, just one entire side of a record, and even when you flip it over its a seamless transition. You should do the entire album 'wish you were here'... and dont pause it too much. I would love to listen to it and watch you flip out. You would be surprised what it would do to your numbers.
Thats why its great when you get older. You learn you need to hang out with everybody. Music is great because it brings everyone together. Good shit, Preston
Yep. Some of our old fart $hit's not bad. I'll be 70 this year and loved this almost 50 yrs ago at 21 or 22. Late 60s to late 70s (the decades) were a trip, young man! Exactly, Zone Out!
The thing about The Pink Floyd is that you never know what the hell is going on unless you listen to their albums from start to "finish". They're concept albums are ridiculous
I cant stop watching these reactions to Pink Floyd. Seeing someone enjoying and appreciating the music as well as the lyrics that are the backbone of your own life, i have grown up living and breathing Pink Floyd. Just makes me happy. Enjoy 👌
Please REACT to Ted Nugent's song, "Jailbait." Ted Nugent brags about raping a 13 year old girl in that song. ua-cam.com/video/O3XGupYHGUE/v-deo.html In his VH1 Behind the Music, they also interview Pele Massa the underage girl that he adopted to have sex with. He admits to having sex with several underage girls in his "Behind the Music" saying that their parents were in on it, and that they said better him than some drugged out teenage dirtbag. Several people have have also accused him of having underage sex with them. One was 12 years old at the time. Read the lyrics to his song, "Jailbait." He brags about raping a 13 year old girl. Trump invited this pedophile to the White House.
For a Floyd religious experience, you will need. 1. A Laptop computer, with good headphones 2. This tune, queued on youtube, 3. A big fat Bob Marley king size, packed to the tip with ganja. Method. 1. Smoke the blunt, with a coffee usually, and get absolutely buckled. TIP do this while sitting on a bed, or couch, close to items 1 and 2 so you dont move far. 2. Lie back, while wearing headphones, play this track nice and loud on the cans, and relax into your couch/bed while listening. 3. Pray at the church of Floyd, and send your soul on a journey. that is all. oh, and be nice to people.
I saw Pink Floyd for the 1st time in 1970 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They played at the Music Hall where the Philharmonic played. We had 3rd row seats. I will never forget it. I feel so blessed to have been born in the 1950's, growing up to the best music and seeing so many classic bands.
I think the reason you missed out on a lot of good music is because of the Black and White cultural divide. Lots of people from both sides missed out on some really good music because of this divide. Luckily for me, being raised in the early to mid 1970s allowed me to appreciate not only what is now called Classic Rock, but also quite a bit of Motown's R&B/Funk, eventually leading into Disco. Actually, I think Disco is where the two cultures merged, and for a few years everyone was listening to basically the same music. After Disco faded around 1980, we then saw the beginning of MTV and the emergence of British New Wave. I think it's then when the two cultures divided once again.
Never a cultural divide for me in the UK. I grew up listening to reggae, two tone, ska, glam rock, prog rock, disco, pop and Goth music. I've just diversified further as I've got older.
Left to their own devices, most people would listen to music because it's good regardless of genre. But people don't like it when we get out of whatever little box they want to put us in. My parents loved all music, and our house was filled with blues, soul, bluegrass, rock, all the time; they didn't monitor what I listened to. But I went to a really conservative school, with really conservative kids, One time were allowed to bring records from home to a school dance, and I brought Parliament Funkadelic "One Nation Under a Groove." When I got the guy that was spinning records to play it finally, it was the first time all night everyone seemed excited and wanted to dance. My classmates were all asking me "Who is that?" "What is that?" And the nuns got really pissed that I brought that album for some reason.The took it off halfway through the first song and made me leave the dance. No one was allowed to bring records from home after that. I was pretty much shunned for being a radical who listened to funk. Because of me, they couldn't bring their Barry Manilow records to dances any more. ..
It helped if you ever saw the documentary movie, Woodstock 1969. You got to see a lot of great music from a lot of different cultures in one show...Santana, Sly Stone, Hendrix, The Who, The band and a lot more.
This is very true. For the most part "Classic Rock" is considered by most to be "white people music" as if other ethnicities can't comprehend it... Which is utter rubbish. It's like saying white folks can't get R&B or Blues.
"Wish You Were Here" is another great, beautiful, "feelings" song from Pink Floyd. Another, and perhaps my second favorite "feelings" kinda song from them is "Learning to Fly" from "Momentary Lapse of Reason", just beautiful, sublime. Makes me imagine... no actually FEEL like I'm flying... levitating and directing my direction, unfettered by gravity and fear.
Seriously, this song gets better every time you listen to. I'm only 33 but I grew up listening to Pink Floyd. This music has got me though many tough times in my life. I love how you point out how music can hit the soul and this song right here is my gospel. Also I echo what others have said, listen and watch this song from their Pulse tour. The DVD of that concert is a masterpiece!
now you have the chance to listen to pink floyd albums for the first time (the albums are insane because each song blends into the next, with speaking inbetween or music ending and starting but you don't realise it's a new song, it all meshes into one beautifully, it's like listening to one really long song), it's magical and i wish i could do mine over again, it's like going to another spiritual plane, you never look back once you get hooked on floyd, hope you realise how lucky you are!
Don't sweat it Preston, you're making up for it now. Plus it's all new to you and a fun and exciting experience and you're taking all of us peeps who have heard this music all our lives with you and that's pretty Awesome. Listen to The Doors and Rolling Stones too since you're doing the Classic Rock thang now. I think you'd like When the Music's Over, Roadhouse Blues, Love me two times and L.A. Woman by The Doors.
You missed out on a lot of music, but we all do because it is all around the world. But Floyd, oh, I remember when dark side of the moon came out. College almost stopped for a few days. Students and teachers were amazed. And I am sure you heard music I never heard. So there it is. Enjoy this.
You need to smoke a LOT of green beforehand or just 1 or 2 doses to get the true affect. No lie, I've seen the wall maybe 30 times and every single time I was tripping when I was a little younger. Crazy ass movie but I've never seen it sober lol
men with ven green is a pathetic, addictive retarding drug. Shrooms are the experience to have to the wall. They are truly something to experience occasionally through life, to be respected. They won’t let you abuse them it’s part of their so-called magic. For you to recommend phencyclidine is just pathetic and irresponsible.
men with ven sorry but green to most people is slang for parsley & pcp, apologies for the misunderstanding However you did mention tripping in your comment and Green. One doesn’t “trip” off of weed, just saying.
I grew up with band, I am 59 and let me tell you Pink Floyd just is part of my DNA , I literally get chills on their music, especially the guitar solos so masterful. I am so glad you enjoy them as much as I do.
Your tastes are outstanding! David Gilmour on guitar. They make you feel like you've smoked even if you haven't. Just deeply chilled and thrilled. Ck out Shine On Crazy Diamond.
There is a version where David Gilmour (the guitar player and the singer of "your lips move.....") played a concert just after Prince died. In the middle of the last solo he switched over into the solo of Purple Rain. Absolutely awesome. Best tribute ever of one great musician to another great one. You probably can find it on UA-cam.
Same way bro, I feel exactly the same way. Grew up in a rougher neighborhood where mostly people listened to hip hop. My dad was a huge rock and roll enthusiast, plus he had a big collection of cds and memorabilia. Your environment definitely shapes you and I feel that I missed out as well on this whole generation of music which created pop culture and influenced so much of the music we listen to today. I feel that even though I’m experiencing something new for the first time, I want to have someone to share it with. I want there to be memories behind the songs. I want to get high while Jim Morrison breaks on through to the other side. I wanna zone out to pink floyd and have barbecues for friends and family with ac dc playing in the background. I feel you for sure, and thats coming from one hip hop head to another. And I think that diversifying your taste in music is what makes you mature in life, what defines your character as a human being. Even rock and roll listens are listening to hip hop now, because it prides them certain feelings and highs you cant get with rock (and vica versa). Ultimately, take it one day at a time cause everything in life has a place, and lets just open our eyes and ears to everything around us to experience the whole picture.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eyes I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child has grown, the dream's gone I have become comfortably numb
Man, I appreciate your appreciation of PF.. Still goose bumps after 30 years of discovering Pink Floyd..To see the young generation enjoying their music is refreshing.. Well done fella!! Keep it up. Cheers & respect...
Must do the whole album! It’s what’s called a concept album. The whole record has a theme that runs from start to finish. It follows a single character from childhood to adulthood. Amazing creation
You missed out on so much music by being conditioned. Think about it. We are all programmed. We arent really given a choice. Only when we seek to find new meaning to our lives do we expand. Not many escape to find what else the world has to offer. You have evolved. Congratulations.
But at the same time old heads are "conditioned" to our music of today. They wont give it a chance but will say go listen to some real music instead of this mumble crap. Not all music of today is crap just like not all rock is good. Double standards I guess
Pink Floyd suggestions (a little biased cause they're my favorite band) - High Hopes, Hey You, On The Turning Away, Wish You Were Here, Time, Breathe (In The Air), Dogs Of War, The Great Gig In The Sky, Us And Them, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Welcome To The Machine, Terminal Frost (instrumental), Marooned (instrumental). Also take the time to watch Pink Floyd The Wall movie, and take the time to listen to their album Dark Side Of The Moon straight through, beginning to end. You'll be a Pink Floyd fan forever.
Ah PF, so your journey begins😁 Enjoy my friend!!! Most of us would sell our soul to hear PF for the 1st time again. React to PIGS, my all time favorite PF song!!! GREAT REACTION ✌

Liana Stark hahaha same!
Same!:)
and that feels soooooo good.
This is what I've done aaaaallllllll day today lol 😂😂
LOL... I know right!?! Gotta put my Sennheiser Open Backs on and load up some high res versions of these!
"The child is grown, the dream is gone"
that line always hits me hard
Thanks for your help in this matter
Me too brother, me too
...ditto..hardcore...
Me too, best lyric in the song
crushes me every time
Never ever interrupt a David Gilmore guitar solo. It's the law.
Shun the non believer. Shuuuunnnn
i so agree but he never listened to floyd before im sure he learn or god will strike thee down with vengeance and furious anger
Truth.
Gilmour
Lol
"The child has grown, the dream is gone." What a line that is.
Ain't that the fucking truth...
David Gilmour speaks better with his guitar than most vocalists with their voices.
Davis Gilmour" soul flows through his finger tips. I'm a metal head!!! but david and pink Floyd are the best out there.
The sad part is on the best guitar charts, he is like #10.
Particularly in this song
@@douglasstephens9481 let they say what the fuck they want
@@douglasstephens9481
Yeah, the man responsible for quite a few of the greatest solos of all time isn't voted very high.
It's because you have too many uppity people who judge it like wine, and have clearly no idea what they're really taking about.
A better example would probably be like people who call Picasso a great artist, rather than the autist that he was.
This is the fucking best guitar solo ever! So emotional! God bless David Gilmour for this!
His solos truly bring tears to my eyes!
Exceptionally great but slow down a little...
@@killerseddie8295 I agree with Grimme. I can't think of a single solo that brings more of an emotional rollercoaster
He has the best phrasing ever
@@gary1989ish It all depends on your genre, my friend. My favorite solo is Tornado Of Souls.
metalheads,punks,hair metal,country,jazz,alt rock,rappers,hiphop,blues.....you name it, they all respect the Floyd
They are the greatest of all time having the London Philharmonic Orchestra in their music, that of which they wrote all pieces.
This guitar solo is considered one of the best and most iconic of all time.
I would say one of the most iconic, but best? man...
Brian Goley yes it is widely considered one of the greatest. Solos aren't all about speed. Comfortably Numb is straight up passion and soul in every note.
Doubt it.
Even for their genre I can think of half a dozen better in both metrics
I prefer solo in Time more than comfortablly numb... But this is really ironic and great. people who claim otherwise are just plain ignorant to its beauty. Speed to me is irrelevant. Going fast or using bunch of techniques in one solo doesn't equate greatness.
Jules Gilmour I agree about Time. It's a beautiful solo and once again, I'm sure people will argue but just like Comfortably Numb, according to many magazines, Time is up there on the top solos list as well.
You don't escape reality listening to Pink Floyd, you get closer to it!
People will have all kinds of suggestions for Floyd, but the best way to experience their music is by listening to the albums in their entirety with headphones on and eyes closed...period
Amen
Amen
I spent my teens in the 70s doing that🖤
And some weed.
LSD for visuals.
The guitarist, David Gilmour, is one of my biggest influences in music. The second solo in Comfortably Numb is considered one of the best solo's of all time. I'm glad you're enjoying some history in music, friend!
Gilmour is one of my top 5 guitarists in any genre. He is also near the top in my list of underrated/overlooked guitarists.
Listen to Terry Kath.
Perfect Josh.
Josh Threeton: I know I`m very much in the minority, but I think the 1st solo is just as valid. Short but expressive, with every note counting. Of course the 2nd solo is a thing of beauty, to be sure.
the first solo gets no cred.
lolol when david gilmour plays the guitar speaks
I guess I was lucky. I grew up in the projects, my dad was a WWII vet that played trumpet, my mom was an Elvis freak, my brothers were into every thing from the Beatles to Floyd, to Sabbath, my sister loved the Jackson 5, my friends listed to everything from the Beastie Boys, Run DMC to Metallica, Def Leppard. I was exposed to everything. I don't discriminate - there would be too much I would've missed out on if I did.
Amazing 👏
Your brother understands what is music!
One of the greatest guitar solos, ever!
Totally agree.
You mean greatest. That solo always gives goosebumps.
High Hopes guitar solo is amazing too
Gilmour, the greatest guitar solos with a minimum of notes. He gives the notes room to breathe. Just so smooth. Undeniably the sweetest solos.
Have you heard it on the Pulse performance? If not look for it on UA-cam but make sure it's the unedited version.
Ahhhh, Pink Floyd. The ‘TOOL’ of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Nothing compared to them, they essentially had their own genre.
the genre is progressive rock, and there are plenty of better prog bands aside from floyd
andralfo Haaha, I know what genre they were considered. I’m sure there’s a hundred other bands that people like more, that’s what’s great about being a human and having choices and opinions.
Feel free to list a few that you find to be better. How many of them aged as well?
daniel gray none.
Haylon TX, Tool of the 70s,80s. Spot on comment. Totally agree
Wheeew.. all the WEED smoked to this song..
And acid dropped haha
Humm, I don't recall you being in my apt in the early 70s. I must've been stoned....,zoned out and gone! Understand ya!
I was born in the 70s lol
I remember sitting in a car in a corn field somewhere in Alabama,
About 16, with pot growing all in the corn and smoke rolling out of the car like a Cheech and Chong movie.lol. with Pink Floyd blasting.
Love the 70's
umm, sounds like you talkin past-tense...lol...it still works today! :)
I've been listening to Floyd for over 40 years and it still brings a tear of joy to my eye.
M T ..
Well now, That would mean you remember the Magestic *Tokemaster*???
Helmet!
Same here my friend...it never gets old.
Me to
The official legal name is the "Tobacco master". I owned one back in the day.
Forty years on, that outro solo still sends a chill down my spine. . . . .
I think it sends chills down EVERYONES spine.
its the best...ever..that and Prince playin Purple Rain..
mortensen1961 u got that right
I hear ya man...same here.
Chills down the spine...tears to the eye! Best guitar work ever!!
I'm glad you are discovering our world..brother...It will bring us all closer. God bless you for taking the time.
seriously man, God bless this guy!
Lol another young explorer finds the path
One of the greatest pieces of music in recorded history.
Watch Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb Live Pulse. His guitar solo at the end is over 5 min! AMAZING!!! Best guitar solo ever! Also, in that particular concert, their light show is freaking amazing and part of going to another place with the music. Love your channel!
I agree, live version is a lot better especially guitar solo at the end.
I saw that show in El Paso. Unbelievable
Agreed with everything you said, I have my fix of pink Floyd daily
The white strat is the only guitar this solo should be played on ...
Great shout, that show is like an eargasm and an eyegasm all rolled into one.
ive tried both MDMA and Comfortably Numb's 2nd guitar solo. That guitar solo always wins.
It's a close battle tho lol
Aquatic Highs A good lsd trip and this
Best solo ever
@@human678 not if you're trapped on badtrip
qdominik aa honestly bad trips feel so purging though, it’s like once you’re back you have a new appreciation for life
The best way to listen to Floyd is album to album. Every album is a song in itself.
ian Lynch
Especially Dark side. It’s just wrong to put that album on anywhere other then than the beginning and just wrong to turn it off before the end.
It’s more like a classical piece that just flows from song to song.
ian Lynch Agreed!
Best album ever? Easy answer: Dark Side of the Moon.
It does my heart good to see a person who hasn’t grown up listening to Floyd and hearing for the first time and can really appreciate the best music! Bravo my friend
My favorite band all time.
It's so awesome when a person has an open mind and tries out things that are out of their comfort zone.
You are awesome
You have to check out Comfortably Numb Live at Pulse bro. It will blow you away what they sound like live and the way the show is setup.
Pink floyd is best experienced in an altered state.
Not to mention the guitar solo in the live version! Mmm-mm.
Experienced both "Dark Side" and "Wish You Were Here" in an altered state. Epic feeling.
Agreed! If you love the guitar in this version, the live extended version from PULSE is just amazing.
Definitely the Pulse Solo!
I'm partial to Delicate Sound of Thunder's version, but Pulse is also wonderful.
(DSoT is much heavier than normal...love it.)
Nobody on this earth can truly sound like David Gilmour. Unbelievably great guitar player.
I went to a Roger Waters concert and I was interested to see who he would have play David Gilmour's part. He had *three different guitarists* play David Gilmour's part.
you need to watch Brit Floyd damien darlington play this........you will be surprised
David Gilmour's voice compliments his guitaring... heavenly.
He's the best guitarist ever n my eyes.
I want David Gilmour to sing me to sleep haha
I'm a little triggered by The Dark Side of the Moon album cover while listening to a song off The Wall.
I know. That is just wrong. I always skip this one and find the one with the Wall cover to listen to.
The first thing I noticed!
Lol
No big deal to me. He's just discovering Floyd and doesn't really know the albums. He'll eventually get there. :)
Same
Now listen to all of these:
Time
Wish You Were Here
Shine on You Crazy Diamond
You know what just listen to every Pink Floyd song ever made and you'll never be the same again.
Fearless
Free Four
Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-4
Love the Seahawks beanie. You're a brother of mine.
51 yr old guy here. Watching you listen to these songs that I have heard for so long, it is like hearing them for the first time again. Thanks for doing these. It is a real joy to see the pleasure and excitement in your face as you listen. I am jamming heavily now myself. Really enjoyed the Iron Maiden vids.
You had no idea you were about to stumble onto the GOAT guitar solo did you? Excellent choice man
Time is a good contender too.
As one Hip-Hop head to another. . . even if you were a rapper. . DONT do ANYTHING to Dave Gilmour's guitar solo. . . let that magic play with no words, no rhymes, no jingles over it. If you listen closely, you'd realize that he's speaking and has been through the whole session. .if'n ya dig. . . Didnt ya feel it?
Oh I totally agree.
Agree
gurney85 Totally agree
gurney85 he talks, laughs, cries and sings through his guitar solos tbh. Ive been bought up on floyd and David gilmour he’s a massive influence on my own guitaring
gurney85 totally agree, the music speaks volumes and evokes emotion words never could.
what I love about these reaction videos is that other cultures are finally listening and finding out that you are not excluded! this music is meant for everyone! love it like we do
I think this song is the national anthem of every pink floyd fans
Nah
Salvs
Wish you were here is the song your looking for fella
For me it's High Hopes
This and Shine on you daimond
Salvs agree
I can not listen to Pink Floyd without crying or tearing up. They take your heart out and chop it into little pieces. No love songs here. I love them.
I don't know if they realize it but their music evokes emotion...some of us can here it on a different wave length.
The little grin on the dude towards the ending guitar solo........
That’s when you know this beautiful piece of music can just reach out and touch the feelings of anyone!!
Mate, you're on the edge of the most amazing musical rabbit hole . Pink Floyd are an experience that will take you places. I promise after you've heard one or two more songs you will be saying the same .
I actually wrote a song years ago that has a Pink Floyd vibe to it called Follow Me Alice, and you definitely go down the rabbit hole ;)
David Gilmore one of the most soulful guitarists... Pink Floyd, their music and style is almost totally unique...just masters.
ChicagoTRS not almost. It is unique, no one like Pink Floyd imo
Gilmour.
Dude, seriously, you need to do a complete The Wall reaction.
Do you think he would benefit by knowing the history of the band, the history of Roger Waters, in the making of The Wall? It's a great album, I'd certainly be here for that. Or is he better off going in not knowing? He reacts to lyrics very well and the lyrics to The Wall tell a story. The story encompasses the entire album. So yeah he'd have to do the entire thing. Love that idea.
I use to listen to nothing but Death Metal And a friend asked why would I limit myself and made me listen to Pink Floyd and have never looked back
Now that is a damn good friend
Same! Then another friend introduced me to Zappa.
I look back, because listening to this song for the first time was a transformative experience, some things you just wish you could experience for the first time twice.
I listen to both
Land Of Soil I do to. I’m just happy I didn’t just listen to one thing. Now I can say I hate CUNTry and cRAP. Bluegrass has some amazing musicians also.
Bro you have the most real reactions on youtube. Cant stop watching !!
It finally dawned on me that Hefner is a total fucking sham. He and that fake ass persona he plays up for the vids is only out for clicks, subs and whatever $$$ he can get outta this. He and KTF were my favorites. Now KTF is alone at the top. There's no doubt in my mind that he's legit, genuinely cares and about and most importantly RESPECTS the music. Vin and Sori are good, too, but unfortunately (for my attention span) their vids are about 30 minutes too long.
I have now watched you fall in love with Pink Floyd with great pleasure! It makes me so happy in my soul to see you exploring and enjoying;;;finding meaning and connection with this music. It has been so for me for many years. They speak to my soul on so many levels. I will pray that you continue to open your mind and heart in this way. You have shown me that there are kindred souls out there and that there, people worth knowing. Thank you.
P.S. May I suggest trying Pearl Jam or Eddie Vedder on his own...they are kindred souls also.
The Wall is a concept album, you would understand the intro to this song better if you listened to the entire album, which tells a self contained story across all the songs. The songs are great individually, but they work even better as an overall whole.
Descartesdom77 Yes! Do your self a favor and just take some time to listen to the whole album in one sitting. It's a real experience
I was just about to make this comment, song lyrics make much more sense when in context with the rest of the album
all pink floyd albums you mostly have to listen to them in their entirety.. eh most of them after meddle
100% agree with this. The whole album is a surreal trip, punctuated with incredible moving, impactful, unforgettable songs.
"One simply does not listen to pink floyd on shuffle"
They are rock operas that loose so much when you pull individual tracks out. Most of their albums didn't even have tracks, just one entire side of a record, and even when you flip it over its a seamless transition.
You should do the entire album 'wish you were here'... and dont pause it too much. I would love to listen to it and watch you flip out. You would be surprised what it would do to your numbers.
Thats why its great when you get older. You learn you need to hang out with everybody. Music is great because it brings everyone together.
Good shit, Preston
Yep. Some of our old fart $hit's not bad. I'll be 70 this year and loved this almost 50 yrs ago at 21 or 22. Late 60s to late 70s (the decades) were a trip, young man! Exactly, Zone Out!
Rock on brother!!!
and while we at it who is the gilmore of your genoration who writes songs like roger ?
debashish kachari pretty sure he’s an actual boomer lol
WELCOME MY SON, WELCOME TO MECHINE, WELCOME TO PINK FLOYD!
Bootleg Justice yes!!
The thing about The Pink Floyd is that you never know what the hell is going on unless you listen to their albums from start to "finish". They're concept albums are ridiculous
Dani Jones their**
Dani Jones this comment should have a ton of likes lol
@@Bigbrotherthunder oops. Was going to say something else but forgot to change it.
8:43 when he steals Preston’s soul like everyone else who’s ever heard this song .
It’s beautiful
You noticed and described that really nice!
I cant stop watching these reactions to Pink Floyd. Seeing someone enjoying and appreciating the music as well as the lyrics that are the backbone of your own life, i have grown up living and breathing Pink Floyd. Just makes me happy. Enjoy 👌
I've known them since High School but like you I am using these reaction videos to "re-discover" them.
Nothing better than getting lit with Floyd in the background.
Yes used to take doobie rides with the husband a enjoy
Literally...’zoning’ and remembering. Another stellar example of when music made you feel something.
I cringed when you stopped it before the end solo. I was like, "Nooooooo!!!!" LMAO!! Welcome to the show, bro. Glad to have you.
Out of hundreds of live concerts, best show I ever saw. Pink Floyd are on a pedestal all themselves.
The solo at the end of comfortably numb, is to me,......perfection!!😉👍
Pink Floyd is an experience that moves the soul. EPIC!!!
Absolutely. Headphones, Pink Floyd, relax. Repeat as needed for a good cleansing.
"Music to zone out to..." Yeah. Three generations of weed smokers can attest to that idea.
I literally just laughed out loud at that. 😂 Pink Floyd & the Greatful Dead.....the best when you got your buzz on. lol.
Fuck yea we can
The wonder of being alive these days is that we can go back and experience all that music we missed with so much ease.
Music is patient friend...you often find it when you need it the most! =)
100% agree.
Please REACT to Ted Nugent's song, "Jailbait." Ted Nugent brags about raping a 13 year old girl in that song. ua-cam.com/video/O3XGupYHGUE/v-deo.html In his VH1 Behind the Music, they also interview Pele Massa the underage girl that he adopted to have sex with. He admits to having sex with several underage girls in his "Behind the Music" saying that their parents were in on it, and that they said better him than some drugged out teenage dirtbag. Several people have have also accused him of having underage sex with them. One was 12 years old at the time. Read the lyrics to his song, "Jailbait." He brags about raping a 13 year old girl. Trump invited this pedophile to the White House.
Heath Lawrence Amen, brother
That’s beautiful ❤️
Word
One more epic Pink Floyd song for you: The Great Gig in the Sky. You'll love it.
styx85 best suggestion 10/10
styx85 I like the final cut.
Worth the wait and never too late to hear a masterpiece like this for the first time! Peace and glad to see your appreciation!
Put on Dark Side of the Moon. Close your eyes and just listen.
Time!!!
Don't forget to roll a fat one 1st!!!
+Obi1kenobi10 Exactly what I was thinking :D
Kris K takes it to another level if your on magic mushrooms that's what they were doing and other things when they wrote this
I feel like he would cry if he did lmao
I absolutely love your face when the song hits you! So authentic and real. I miss the 70s! I felt like that on the daily with all the bad ass music
@Ryy Dog LOL- i appreciate that! Im an old broad tho!
@Ryy Dog lol in my defense, i was born in the very early 70s! Stahhhp it! 😊😊 Happy weekend!
For a Floyd religious experience, you will need. 1. A Laptop computer, with good headphones 2. This tune, queued on youtube, 3. A big fat Bob Marley king size, packed to the tip with ganja.
Method.
1. Smoke the blunt, with a coffee usually, and get absolutely buckled. TIP do this while sitting on a bed, or couch, close to items 1 and 2 so you dont move far.
2. Lie back, while wearing headphones, play this track nice and loud on the cans, and relax into your couch/bed while listening.
3. Pray at the church of Floyd, and send your soul on a journey.
that is all. oh, and be nice to people.
Everything you said is right except throw on the vinyl it will blow your mind!
Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd; Baby I’m Gonna Leave You by LED Zeppelin
Babe babe babe babe oh baby I'm gonna leave you
Shine On You Crazy Diamond! Also try Low Spark Of The High Heeled Boys by Traffic and Cant You Hear Mr Knocking by The Rolling Stones!
Yo, you finally popped your Pink cherry. Now, you absolutely have to listen to Dark side of the moon in it's entirety, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND BRO!
Yes!
Yep!
when I first listened to dark side of the moon, shit, I was very...very impressed and I think my music "taste" leveled up
This song is on "The Wall" though.
I saw Pink Floyd for the 1st time in 1970 in Cincinnati, Ohio. They played at the Music Hall where the Philharmonic played. We had 3rd row seats. I will never forget it. I feel so blessed to have been born in the 1950's, growing up to the best music and seeing so many classic bands.
I think the reason you missed out on a lot of good music is because of the Black and White cultural divide. Lots of people from both sides missed out on some really good music because of this divide. Luckily for me, being raised in the early to mid 1970s allowed me to appreciate not only what is now called Classic Rock, but also quite a bit of Motown's R&B/Funk, eventually leading into Disco. Actually, I think Disco is where the two cultures merged, and for a few years everyone was listening to basically the same music. After Disco faded around 1980, we then saw the beginning of MTV and the emergence of British New Wave. I think it's then when the two cultures divided once again.
Never a cultural divide for me in the UK. I grew up listening to reggae, two tone, ska, glam rock, prog rock, disco, pop and Goth music. I've just diversified further as I've got older.
Left to their own devices, most people would listen to music because it's good regardless of genre. But people don't like it when we get out of whatever little box they want to put us in. My parents loved all music, and our house was filled with blues, soul, bluegrass, rock, all the time; they didn't monitor what I listened to. But I went to a really conservative school, with really conservative kids, One time were allowed to bring records from home to a school dance, and I brought Parliament Funkadelic "One Nation Under a Groove." When I got the guy that was spinning records to play it finally, it was the first time all night everyone seemed excited and wanted to dance. My classmates were all asking me "Who is that?" "What is that?" And the nuns got really pissed that I brought that album for some reason.The took it off halfway through the first song and made me leave the dance. No one was allowed to bring records from home after that. I was pretty much shunned for being a radical who listened to funk. Because of me, they couldn't bring their Barry Manilow records to dances any more. ..
It helped if you ever saw the documentary movie, Woodstock 1969. You got to see a lot of great music from a lot of different cultures in one show...Santana, Sly Stone, Hendrix, The Who, The band and a lot more.
He's like 12! I'm 41. I've heard all that old rock homey! FOH! Oh, and I'm BLACK!
This is very true. For the most part "Classic Rock" is considered by most to be "white people music" as if other ethnicities can't comprehend it... Which is utter rubbish. It's like saying white folks can't get R&B or Blues.
Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine will blow you away. The entire Wish you were hear and Dark Side of the Moon albums will blow you away.
My favorite song!!
"Wish You Were Here" is another great, beautiful, "feelings" song from Pink Floyd. Another, and perhaps my second favorite "feelings" kinda song from them is "Learning to Fly" from "Momentary Lapse of Reason", just beautiful, sublime. Makes me imagine... no actually FEEL like I'm flying... levitating and directing my direction, unfettered by gravity and fear.
Seriously, this song gets better every time you listen to. I'm only 33 but I grew up listening to Pink Floyd. This music has got me though many tough times in my life. I love how you point out how music can hit the soul and this song right here is my gospel.
Also I echo what others have said, listen and watch this song from their Pulse tour. The DVD of that concert is a masterpiece!
You want something soul wrenching listen to Pink Floyd- The Great Gig in the Sky
Clarke Staton YES!!!!
Keep it up Preston, the classic rock reactions you do are the best.
So many good pink floyd songs/albums
This one is really chill compared to some of their others
Dude I can see/feel your reactions! It's awesome, Welcome to Floyd!
Wow dude.. never heard pink Floyd until this.. loved it bro!
Now you'll have the once in a lifetime opportunity to lay in bed in the dark and listen to dark side of the moon for the first time. Lucky bastard!
truth
now you have the chance to listen to pink floyd albums for the first time (the albums are insane because each song blends into the next, with speaking inbetween or music ending and starting but you don't realise it's a new song, it all meshes into one beautifully, it's like listening to one really long song), it's magical and i wish i could do mine over again, it's like going to another spiritual plane, you never look back once you get hooked on floyd, hope you realise how lucky you are!
Headphones on and enjoy
Type , music 1970s on you tube, learn, forget today electronica and rap, just listen and learn. Good to hear people still get bucked by their sound.
Don't sweat it Preston, you're making up for it now. Plus it's all new to you and a fun and exciting experience and you're taking all of us peeps who have heard this music all our lives with you and that's pretty Awesome. Listen to The Doors and Rolling Stones too since you're doing the Classic Rock thang now. I think you'd like When the Music's Over, Roadhouse Blues, Love me two times and L.A. Woman by The Doors.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than watching Pink Floyd first reactions.. love it !!!!
You missed out on a lot of music, but we all do because it is all around the world. But Floyd, oh, I remember when dark side of the moon came out. College almost stopped for a few days. Students and teachers were amazed.
And I am sure you heard music I never heard. So there it is. Enjoy this.
Watch the movie. But get your head right before you do.
You need to smoke a LOT of green beforehand or just 1 or 2 doses to get the true affect. No lie, I've seen the wall maybe 30 times and every single time I was tripping when I was a little younger. Crazy ass movie but I've never seen it sober lol
men with ven green is a pathetic, addictive retarding drug. Shrooms are the experience to have to the wall.
They are truly something to experience occasionally through life, to be respected. They won’t let you abuse them it’s part of their so-called magic.
For you to recommend phencyclidine is just pathetic and irresponsible.
Yes you have to be straight up flying to watch this movie lmao
men with ven sorry but green to most people is slang for parsley & pcp, apologies for the misunderstanding
However you did mention tripping in your comment and Green. One doesn’t “trip” off of weed, just saying.
men with ven okay if you say so buddy
I grew up with band, I am 59 and let me tell you Pink Floyd just is part of my DNA , I literally get chills on their music, especially the guitar solos so masterful. I am so glad you enjoy them as much as I do.
Your tastes are outstanding! David Gilmour on guitar. They make you feel like you've smoked even if you haven't. Just deeply chilled and thrilled. Ck out Shine On Crazy Diamond.
There is a version where David Gilmour (the guitar player and the singer of "your lips move.....") played a concert just after Prince died. In the middle of the last solo he switched over into the solo of Purple Rain. Absolutely awesome. Best tribute ever of one great musician to another great one. You probably can find it on UA-cam.
Frits Spieker send the link! I’d love to see that
@@alexanderdavis7103 ua-cam.com/video/UcDHXoQmxu0/v-deo.html
Of course a search on "David Gilmour purple rain"...
This might be (literally) the one thousandth time I've heard this solo and this viewing almost brought tears to my eyes!
when you listen to Floyd you get blown away
You gotta listen to "time" from pink floyd now, "wish you were here" , "hey you", "shine on you crazy diamond", "money", those are the best of them
Same way bro, I feel exactly the same way. Grew up in a rougher neighborhood where mostly people listened to hip hop. My dad was a huge rock and roll enthusiast, plus he had a big collection of cds and memorabilia. Your environment definitely shapes you and I feel that I missed out as well on this whole generation of music which created pop culture and influenced so much of the music we listen to today. I feel that even though I’m experiencing something new for the first time, I want to have someone to share it with. I want there to be memories behind the songs. I want to get high while Jim Morrison breaks on through to the other side. I wanna zone out to pink floyd and have barbecues for friends and family with ac dc playing in the background. I feel you for sure, and thats coming from one hip hop head to another. And I think that diversifying your taste in music is what makes you mature in life, what defines your character as a human being. Even rock and roll listens are listening to hip hop now, because it prides them certain feelings and highs you cant get with rock (and vica versa). Ultimately, take it one day at a time cause everything in life has a place, and lets just open our eyes and ears to everything around us to experience the whole picture.
Pink Floyd were an exceptional band.
*are
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eyes
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child has grown, the dream's gone
I have become comfortably numb
Man, I appreciate your appreciation of PF.. Still goose bumps after 30 years of discovering Pink Floyd..To see the young generation enjoying their music is refreshing.. Well done fella!! Keep it up. Cheers & respect...
Listen and watch the live pulse version!!
When those notes hit and your eyes get wide, that’s what it’s about buddy. Great song, that solo is timeless
You noticed that too. You can't fake that shit. He's feeling it.
I was lucky enough to see them on the Division Bell tour, you will never regret listening to some rock. You rock brother!!!
Listen the live Pulse of this song.
Must do the whole album! It’s what’s called a concept album. The whole record has a theme that runs from start to finish. It follows a single character from childhood to adulthood. Amazing creation
My first Concert was Pink Floyd, and let me tell you hearing it live will reach down into your soul and you will find tears standing in your eyes.
Love Pink Floyd. They have a ton of great songs. Learn to fly is another awesome one
You missed out on so much music by being conditioned. Think about it. We are all programmed. We arent really given a choice. Only when we seek to find new meaning to our lives do we expand. Not many escape to find what else the world has to offer. You have evolved. Congratulations.
Stargirl Tarot we are just a brick in the wall
WOW! Well said.
Mama's going to put all of her music taste in you.
But at the same time old heads are "conditioned" to our music of today. They wont give it a chance but will say go listen to some real music instead of this mumble crap. Not all music of today is crap just like not all rock is good. Double standards I guess
@@danielestrada2417 shill guy just shill. Nobody is attacking your reggae-ton
You should try "Marooned". literally, it is a masterpiece!
Gilmour does magic with his fingers!
Pink Floyd suggestions (a little biased cause they're my favorite band) - High Hopes, Hey You, On The Turning Away, Wish You Were Here, Time, Breathe (In The Air), Dogs Of War, The Great Gig In The Sky, Us And Them, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Welcome To The Machine, Terminal Frost (instrumental), Marooned (instrumental). Also take the time to watch Pink Floyd The Wall movie, and take the time to listen to their album Dark Side Of The Moon straight through, beginning to end. You'll be a Pink Floyd fan forever.
Listen to this guy. You def should listen to dark side of the moon all the way through
Live at Pompeii.
Don’t forget One Of These Days from Meddle.
Pink Floyd is long drive music. Zone out to it.
Watch the 1994 P.U.L.S.E performance of this song to see the finest live show in the history of music.
Ah PF, so your journey begins😁 Enjoy my friend!!! Most of us would sell our soul to hear PF for the 1st time again. React to PIGS, my all time favorite PF song!!! GREAT REACTION ✌
