INFO: The Piper At The Gates of Dawn is Pink Floyd’s debut album and the only album they made under the leadership of Syd Barrett. Ever since its release it’s been regarded as one of the most influential albums of psychedelic rock music and a definite step in the development of prog-rock. Originally inspired by RnB and blues, the group started experimenting with drawn-out live sessions with genre bending guitar and keyboard sounds and other-wordly rhythms. Songs such as “Astronomy Domine” and “Interstellar Overdrive” are great examples of that. But the album was not just a source of long-winded, psychedelic freak-outs. Syd was also a master at crafting short, child-like pop songs. Couple that with cutting-edge production and recording techniques, and you end up with an outstanding listening experience, that would inspire generations of musicians to come.
What band or artist should kick-off 2019?? 🤘🎸
BEATLES!
Paul Weller or the jam
Steppenwolf needs to get more recognition for their early stuff.
Either the self-titled album or "The Second"
Preferably the latter.
Primus
Oasis
Syd Barrett, that cat's something I can't explain
🐈
Lucifer Sam Siam cat
This song is on my channel 😁
Hiding around on the ground.
He'll be found when you're around.
Jennifer Gentle, you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh no!
That cat's something I can't explain..
I love this album. People don't get it because they love Gilmour and Waters as a duo and this sounds weird, but it's a MASTERPIECE, plays with stereo (imagine that in that age wasn't a common thing), is EXTRA psychedelic, has childish/experimental vibes and it's one of my favorite albums ever. I also adore Syd Barrett.
PD: DO THE KING CRIMSON VIDEO PLEASE
Thanks for appreciating this! And yes i'll definitely do one about King Crimson. Just a matter of time and resources.
I love this album and A Saucerful of Secrets so much! Syd was one of the most unique figures in rock. He may be gone, but his legacy shines on.
He was a CRAZY DIAMOND!!!
A Sauceful of Secrets is underrated ASF. Piper is my second fave album ever and favourite Floyd album. Saucerful’s in my top 5 and second favourite Floyd album. Floyd are my second favourite band.
@@TheJayson8899 Thanks for letting the world know!
Didn’t expect to see you here mate
@@TheJayson8899 Who's the first?
Syd Barrett's mind and creations are fascinating
They sure are! That's why i keep on making videos about him ;)
@@LieLikesMusic would you consider making a video on his life after he left pink Floyd? From 1968-1974 or so when he totally went off the grid. The years of the madcap laughs, traveling around UK in his mini, etc
The work Syd could have went on to do if it weren't for his breakdown would have been insane there would be a shift in the space time continuum if he worked on meddle, dark side of the moon and the wall but then again if it weren't for his breakdown those albums might have not even happened altogether.
That whole dilemma is such a weird thing to think about. It's not like we'll ever know.
@@LieLikesMusic True, i cant imagine how weird the dilemma would have been for the band at the time as well, i heard they struggled for a long time until Meddle because of Syd's breakdown at least they finally made it in the end it's just a shame Syd wasnt along for the ride.
No way, DSOTM is perfect
Totally agree! Also can say the same thing about the band Soft Machine!! Who put together Awesome futuristic sounds. Due to the demise of the drummer,lead vocalist, and composer, Soft Machine never gained the notoriety of Floyd. RIP SYD BARRETT!!
@@LJLewis94 It's good but not perfect, Wish You Were Here though...
I've got a mouse and he hasn't got a house
Andrew Younger Is the mouse named Gerald?
Mike Kelley and does he know why he calls him that?
Jackson Carter I think Gerald is the name of the famous mouse from Tom and Jerry. So maybe it just suited it , but who knows what Syd thought?
Ashok Singh lol, I was referencing the lyrics “I don’t know why I call him Gerald” buy that could be why I he wrote that!
He's getting pretty old but he's a good mouse
The first time that I heard Piper was also the first time that I tripped on acid. We and my friends were sitting in the basement of my bands drummer (like we always do) and I had reached my peak. I was just getting into Floyd at the time, and I requested that my friend who was playing the music (who was also the guitarist in our band) to put on some PF, so i could see what all the hype was about their music on drugs. In my head, I assumed that he was going to play DSOTM, or Animals, but he decided to put on Piper (he referred to it simply as “Early Floyd”). I knew who Syd was, but I was skeptical about tripping out to music that I haven’t heard before. The shuffled up the album, and the first song that come on was Bike (it’s funny, cause that’s the last song on the album). I remember seeing Syd Barrett floating around on a pink cloud, playing the keyboards and singing. I knew that he wasn’t the keyboardist, but that’s still what I saw in my head.
christian ameriling That sounds like a lot of fun.
Christian Amerling OH MY GAWD DAMN!!!!!
🤪😂🤣😂🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@rogerwaters3165 , stupid "tag", Did he show up at your BBQ party and asked for a Pint of Guinness?
Phil...try taking a little more
A friend of mine saw the Pink Floyd in 1967, and said they were the loudest band she ever seen.
Before Syd went nova, they were unbeatable. I have the debut in mono and it sounds fantastic.
I also have a very rare CD of the Floyd's singles A and B sides 1966-68.
"Candy And A Current Bun" is a stone cold classic. Iggy Pop was right when he said Syd Barrett
wrote the best psychedelic songs.
Cool cool! Quite a few people say the mono was fantastic in its own way.
Have you heard this version of Candy and a Currant Bun? It's pretty dope

That's right. My Uncle lived in London in the 1960s and often went to the UFO club. He also said that he remembers Pink Floyd being really loud. He mentions that it was really clear that Syd was the leader of the group and would dictate the direction of the free form jams.
My favorite Floyd record. The imagination in this album is so contagious
There's a brazilian rocker called Jupiter Apple that to me sounded like if Syd Barrett released a modern album. The album in question is called "Tarde na Fruteira" (2008) Despite having portuguese lyrics, they are well placed within the melody, I hope foreigners can be taken by the melodies because they are great. Sadly the guy died in 2015 from alcohol abuse, but not before releasing his masterpiece. The chorus to the first song says people will find about this album in 2020 and it will become a cult classic. It's like he was predicting the future xDDDDD
Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots (which curiously also died in 2015 a few months earlier from alcohol abuse) released a single solo album that has several Syd-esque moments and overall experimentation. Don't remember how it's called
Syd was a genius.
@@FeelingShred sorry i really cant stand any music from 2020 even if it 'tried' to be psychedelic. Some things just cannot be recreated. 60s psychedelia is a long lost gem, a blip in time that was so great.
@@thinginground5179 have an open mind, bro, that's what 60's psychedelia was trying to say
Not joking here. I saw this album in the electronic jukebox at a local bar I once frequented. I purchased all of the songs in order. It got as far as "Pow R. Toc H." before the power was abruptly cut off from the jukebox by the bartender. The next day when I went in there the jukebox was gone, with two capped wires and a square imprint in the wallpaper the only sign it had ever been there.
Would you do a video in Meddle?
Great development process of the album that is very well documented.
Great video keep it up!
Thanks for your support. The question is wether there's a lot to dig into in terms of Meddle. It might not be as well-documented.
That is a good album.
@@trevorcorcoran5007 Meddle has a couple of tracks that are not bad but feel a bit like "fillers" to me. Not counting Echoes of course, which in my opinion is their greatest achievement.
@@trevorcorcoran5007 - I think that you'll find that Gilmour and Waters don't remember those albums as fondly; the way that era contains a lot of "psychedelic noodling" according to David Gilmour, and Roger Waters considers the time before Dark Side to be a "learning" period best skipped - except for "Echoes," which seems to be universally admired.
Nick Mason is now touring the earlier material, with the blessing of Waters and Gilmour, remarkably enough.
I've always liked all of it; fortunately, my older brother had some Pink Floyd albums at his apartment, in the 1960s, but I never heard them - but I looked into them, before Dark Side, and Meddle was the first Pink Floyd album, for me(on 8 track tape!), and "Fat Old Sun" was one of the first songs I learned on guitar besides "easy" or "learner" songs. So, after "Atom Heart Mother's" taped effects, the mixture of taped effects with music brilliantly shown in The Dark Side of the Moon" seemed natural and logical, especially when you've figured out the humor(or humour).
@@MartinJohnZ Honestly I don't think that there's a bad song on Meddle. My personal favourite is Fearless, and obviously I love Meddle. Seamus is a grower.
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is honestly one of my favorite albums from Pink Floyd. The dreamy lyrics and imagery depicted in many of the songs (Paint Box, Arnold Layne, See Emily Play, Apples And Oranges, Interstellar Overdrive, Astronomy Domine, Matilda Mother, Lucifer Sam) just whisks me off to this magical place that constantly assures me that everything is okay.
I remember the first time I went to a Pink Floyd tribute concert, despite only knowing 2 songs from the band, "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2" and "Wish You Were Here". I just randomly decided to search up Pink Floyd on UA-cam and the first song from Syd while he was still in the band was "See Emily Play ", one of my now favorite Pink Floyd songs. I found myself searching up even more on Pink Floyd, and I found out that this guy named Syd Barrett was in the band for a while when they first started out, but was kicked out due to his unstable condition and unpredictable nature.
At that very moment, I found out exactly what "Wish You Were Here" (which is my favorite Pink Floyd song) was about. It was all about him. Ever since then, I have been absolutely captivated by Syd's tragic tale, and even got Nick Mason's book "Inside Out", where I found out more about Syd's terrible condition firsthand from Mason himself. I enjoy observing the live concerts Syd and the band did for this album because it chronicles how tame and severe his unstable mind became and how the other members unfortunately had to deal with it.
Just imagine had Syd never left, Wish You Were Here would have never been created. Practically half of the album is reminiscing Syd.
That's true. I don't see why people always want to imagine this and that. What's happened has happened.
Lyrics and titles are not all that make up music, and this is completely true with Pink Floyd.
It wouldnt matter what they were saying, it's how they were saying. And the fact that pink floyd was insanely kick ass prior to WYWH and after, seems to prove this theory.
He had serious problems. He had to leave
@@prodigygetgud7921 Without Syd - No Pink Floyd
With Syd - No Pink Floyd
i think the way it went down musically was near perfect, if I could change one thing I would have liked syd staying healthy and leaving on better conditions but musically what happened was pretty great. syd's stuff is phenomenal do not get me wrong, but i cant imagine a world without animals and dark side.
This is my favorite version of Pink Floyd. Syd's first solo album was also pretty cool.
This is my favorite Syd Barrett album. One of my favorite Pink Floyd albums
Syd Barrett was a gem.
It is a staggeringly good album, all great songs, no filler, an so different to anything else done before or since.
Bless your heart. I forgot how incredible this album, I had chalked it up to being young and easily impressed. Decades later, as you have brought to my attention, Piper at the Gates is still one of the greatest albums ever.
Heard Arnold Layne in 67' I was 16 never anything like it and then see Emily play stunning I saw them play at Rhodes center Bishop Stortford great show bought piper' still the best album they ever did after Syd I lost interest in in Pink Floyd too self indulgent boring none of those guys could write a song like Dominoes not as gifted good bless Syd Barret r.i.p
A fascinating album for sure , I heard it for the first time in 1971 . R.I.P. SYD.
3:55 plays on his telecaster
Video: shows a Danelectro
That clip was from Interstellar Overdrive, Syd Barrett recorded Astronomy Domine on his fender Esquire which people mistake it for a telecaster
@@matsgoalkeeping2448 but still, he talks about the telecaster/esquier, while the video hows a completely different guitar
@@patricksommer3971 the clip was to only show how Syd Recorded his guitar parts and what he did to create the effects
I'm so glad you gave this album a video. It's so underrated and overlooked by both Pink Floyd fans and music lovers. It's one of my few 10/10 records because of the sheer inventiveness and musical bliss it brings, but also because Barrett's lyrics are so poignant and beautiful. People with an anti-McCartney sentiment (a.k.a. people that hate non-serious music/music with a sense of humor) often dismiss the childlike nature of the lyrics, not taking into account the broader picture that Syd wanted to portray: the importance of keeping the wonder of how children look at life; the need for us to be able to amaze us with the beautiful things of life, be it simple or complex. Few records grasp that idea; even fewer manage to do it while delivering astonishing music. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is not only Pink Floyd's best record, but it's one of the greatest albums of all time.
No problem. It's one of my favorite albums too. It's so interesting on many levels. Like you said, it captures the
childish creativity, english culture ad mix it with thought-through production and tongue-in cheek mentalities.
In my opinion it is a bit messy at times. Some songs could've been a bit shorter imo. It's got a spot in my top
30 or 40 i think.
@@LieLikesMusic I think is the most concise Floyd album. I use to think songs like Pigs 3 differents, Shine on, Us and then, or even Echoes, could are shorter. But in Piper I never fell this.
My favorite Pink Floyd album. The rest of their albums ate obviously amazing, but Piper at the Gates of Dawn has a unique quality to it that I love.
My favourite part of the album is when 'bike' ends and syd does the whole verse in a slower tempo. What an album, definitely in my top 3 Floyd albums!
My introduction to Pink Floyd was A Saucerful O' Secrets. Upon first hearin' Let There Be More Light (David Gilmour sayin' "HELLO WORLD!"...'n all that followed on this amazin' album, I was a Pink Floyd enthusiast. So I decided to explore their earlier release-Piper At The Gates O' Dawn. It was yet another revelation o' what psychedelic rock could 'n should be. So glad to have been there then to listen 'n learn.
piper and tales from the topography of oceans are two albuns that continue to blow my senses
Everybody should listen this album in mono version! The best thing I have ever heard.
Best Pink Floyd album ever!!!!!
nope
I think Animals is better. But this is very close to the top imo
@Lie Likes Music Me too, objectively Animals is the cenit of Pink Floyd's body of work, but I personally like Pipet better, mainly because of Syd.
The most imaginative, distinctive and creative for sure
@@LieLikesMusic I'd agree Animals is the best post-Barrett album (since they might as well be two different bands), but Piper is miles and miles beyond that. It's "Pet Sounds" levels of lyrical prowess and musical intensity.
This was VERY informative. I love this band. Thank you for the time and effort that went into this.
Congrats! Your work is amazing, every time i see your videos i learn something
Syd barrett opened a door for other bands to kick open, and I have the ultimate respect for that.
The more I learn about it, the more I think it's a masterpiece.
Thanks for the great video and the free PDF!
Without a doubt my favorite Floyd album
Cool cool. Hope this catered to your expectations then!
What an amazing video. This is probably my favorite PF album and I've been wondering for a long time how made certain sounds were made on the album. Good job.
Thanks! My personal favorite has to be Animals. But this is close to the top imo. I'm glad you learned
something from this btw. Cheers from Norway.
@@LieLikesMusic Yes, Animals is excellent and a very close second favorite followed by Meddle. Cheers.
Piper at the gates of dawn my fav Pink Floyd album, thanks for making this video
Thank you for the PDF and great video great content and story behind the album
No problem :) I love learning and sharing stuff like this.
Yesss, love the video bro. Piper is such a masterpiece
This Album. I've been waiting.
Hehe thanks for having the patience
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is one of the greatest albums ever. Syd's lyrics are out of this world. This beats out anything from its era. Shine On You Crazy 💎 was written for Syd. Hope The Madcap is laughing in heaven.
Great album. Great video. Nice job, man
Dude, excellent video with real research and plenty of info not found in scores of other Floyd videos I've seen. Looking forward to the pdf,!
Such a underrated album,you know what else is underrated? Jeff Mangum
I always read "Magnum" when people write his name. Still need to check out NMH. Just listened a bit here and there
@@LieLikesMusic you really should, then you'd see why I was bugging you for a year now
I saw them on their first tour in like 14 years a few years ago. Drove over 6 hours away to get there. Closest I've ever felt to a religious experience.
@Sumnjiva Vodoriga tell me how many times have you heard him on the radio
Oh please, do In The Court of the Crimson King soon!
Great video. You did a good job breaking down one of the best albums from one of the best bands of all time.
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed. Any rock band or artists you want to see next?
This is priceless!!! Thank you very much!!!
This album is a hidden gem. I grew up listening to it as it was a staple in our house and in the car during road trips in the 1990’s. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I got into their later works as well. 98% of people I know that are of similar age have the opposite chronology on the matter.
OMG YES, I WAS LOOKING FOR THISSSSS
Love your videos man....Keep it up
Thanks. And i sure will. 2019 is gonna be a big year
Really enjoyed this (much more than I expected) Piper is one of my all time favorite albums and being a huge Floyd fan I have viewed virtually all the UA-cam stuff on the band.
This was a really well made video - and I certainly found out some interesting info that I had not known before.
That's great! I guess good research pays off. Much of the stuff i wrote about here came from the 33 1/3 book about
the album. Highly recommend that if you want a quick dip into the creative process of the album. Thanks for watching Phil!
Great video man ! You should talk about songs like ''Scream Thy Last Scream'', ''Vegetable Man'' or ''Opel''....
It's a wonderful album on headphones. Stuck in a staid boarding school in 68/9, we used to listen to this on our 25- 50 pound stereo systems. Inspiring and as far out as can be, I'm so glad Nick Mason is still carrying the flame.
Great film, thanks !
I haven't heard this album in many years... thanks to this I'll listen to it next!
And then even after a mental breakdown Syd managed to write incredible tunes on Madcap and Barrett not to mention Bob Dylan blues, unreleased vegetable man, and of course the haunting tune Opel. Syd was a legend, a word genius and an artist.
Just picked up a vinyl copy of this album
Awesome! I still haven't. But i'll be sure to grab one myself once i have a good stereo setup
Lie Likes Music It is funny, because I picked one up right before you published this video. I love this album. Syd Barrett is a genius
Try to find a 2018 Record Store Day Mono copy, much better and trippier mix!
Awesome vid!!
Lie you're awesome man, much love
Syd Barrett’s brilliant work of Pink Floyd! Their greatest album for sure!
Animals is better imo. But it's Syd's best effort.
Lie Likes Music that ones alright but Syd did a masterpiece on this with his mystical lyrics, he made it very experimental. This is like one big acid trip converted into one album
@@el_chief_dannyboy
What's the mystical thing about riding a bike, for instance?
Enough with the trip and acid crap, the album has musical values of its own. If you want to trip and be high smoke whatever you like, but don't ruin music with that bullshit
Viejotrueno it’s the truth mann his mystical lyrics bring the song to life, kinda like a creative poem for instance The Gnome and The Scarecrow. Those are imaginary and creative lyrics
@@JulioLeonFandinho If you can't find the magic and wonder of life in something as simple as riding a bike, man, I feel sorry for you.
My favourite Floyd album as it's freak out music mixed with these child like songs also the wind in the willows was a big influence on Syd Barrett in the album but great research on this groundbreaking album it's a gem a total one off.
Awesome! I tried to do a little extra research spesifically on the producing and recording for this one.
Glad you noticed.
Very informative. Kudos.
Really nice video !!! Thank you!
Thank you. Really appreciate it :)
Pink Floyd is my favourite band!
Ammar Siddiqui your not alone brother
I'm highly skeptical of people who say are PF fans and they only know about The Wall or Dark Side
@@FeelingShred i see nothing wrong with people who listen to one or two albums and conclude they are fans
FeelingShred elitist attitude
Thank you for that video! ✌
Oh hell yea I love how you post a handful of Pink Floyd content !
I just got their Oh By The Way box set and it could easily be the greatest thing I’ve owned so far
ROCK ON !
One of my ten fav albums of all time. So special and unique.
Maybe my top 30. Very unique album imo too.
@@LieLikesMusic YOU REPLIED! Love the
Videos man, keep it going, you're informing a generation.
The Beatles were more consistent than Pink Floyd, but this Piper album is better than anything the Beatles have ever done, partucularly when you compare the resources each band had. By the time of Sgt Peppers, the Beatles had two songwriters with extensive studio/arrangement experience, George Martin, the keys to Abbey Road, and they even had intelligence agencies and institutes helping them along. They were unstoppable kings. Pink Floyd, on the other hand, was a new band, with limited studio resources, and the whole thing was envisioned by one fairly inexperienced songwriter.
Pepper has cool studio tricks, but other than a few Lennon songs, it's standard pop-rock with an iconic feel. Piper has cool tricks as well, but all of the writing is unique in some way. Each song has it's own bizarre characteristic on paper, whether it's altering time signatures, abrupt key modulation, strange modes, melodies that resolve earlier or later than you'd expect, etc. It's also subtle enough to not sound pretentious. Even the words are more trippy. Kaleidoscope eyes is cool to think about-- but gnomes telling you there's another way to say 'hurray' is visceral and emersive.
Very interesting take on the two bands. Never thought about this tbh. When you mention that The Beatles worked
with intelligence agencies, what do you mean by that? And in what ways did they help them? And about the lyrics
on "The Gnome" it almost seems like there's a connection to DMT in there. On a dmt trip people have noticed that
they start to speak an unknown language "another way for gnomes to say hurray".
Its apples and oranges.
Totally different bands and approaches.
You might also want to re-think the conspiracy theory about intelligence agencies and institutes helping the Beatles. Rubbish.
I love both bands, but they cannot be made to compete with each other.
I can respect that, but don't exactly agree on everything you've said.
as much as i love the beatles, piper at the gates of dawn over sgt peppers any day mateee. Also ironic that Sgt peppers and Piper were recorded simultaneously in the same recording studio!!
Limited studio resources, you say? Think again...
You did a great job!
Thank you!
Thank you. Beautifully made and narrated. I'm a PF and other progressive rock mucsic fan since the 80s and your explanation are clear, well researched and fun to watch. Congrats....
The one thing that makes PINK FLOYD the best band ever, is their choice to use ANY instrument to create a masterpiece. AND NOT BE ASHAMED OF IT.
I always thought the background megaphone were astronaut intercoms
Same
I suppose they're meant to be. Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine are space songs so
Just listened to this album a few hours ago. Thanks UA-cam for recommending this 🔥
Thanks for the post!...it's about time...long overdue-------Barrett was awesome ....60's Floyd!
"Sure enough, the album had some psychedelic sounds"
That's an understatement. The album is one big acid trip
Well i was trying to explain the genres. Also, the other band members were quite straight.
You wanna do a crazy psych rock video, do Genesis “Suppers Ready”, amazing song
dude this channel is perfect
Thanks Manos!
greetings sir and happy new year !
The cut in Mathilda Mother is great
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY OR THE CRAMPS I LOVE EVERY VIDEO YOU MAKE!!!
"No one knew who they were
Or what they we're doing
But their legend lives on...."
Stonehenge!
That bit about the splicing and editing is really interesting. I'd always assumed the audio jump in Matilda Mother was intentional, I guess because it sorts fits the theme of bizarreness and falling apart in a sense. Great video!
Also that wasn’t only album Syd had leadership under, he also had Saucerful Of Secrets his last album when there was Five Man Floyd
He wasn’t the leader on saucerful of secrets as he was only on one of the tracks.
He was actually the leader during the sessions, along with Dave and Roger. He helped a lot during the album ( which was his last album with Floyd) and that was the last and only time there was five man Floyd.
@@el_chief_dannyboy where did you read that? From all the things I've read he seemed more of a member than a leader
InfamousMedia its called the history of Pink Floyd, also he was the founder and leader of Pink Floyd wrote all the early lyrics and almost came up with all the music. Without him there would be no Floyd he brought everything together in Cambridge, and without his approval there would be no gilmour
Karl Carpenter actually that is all ridiculous false, but you can believe what you want it’s your opinion. If you believe that obviously your not a true Pink Floyd Fan ;)
I think an interesting subject would be "Live at Pompeii"
yeahhhhhh
Even more interesting was how they ripped off the idea from Deep Purple's "April" video with orchestra
@@FeelingShred And how Andrew Llyod Webber ripped off Echoes when he composed Phantom of the Opera
Awesome bro. Keep it up
Ayye you went with that thumbnail. Love the vid dude!
Peter Jenner was their manager,and definitely not an engineer. Joe Boyd was very familiar with the live sound, being involved with UFO and being the band’s first choice. Smith came as part of the signing to the label package. Small points, but inaccuracies lead to “accepted facts”.
fossilmatic joe Boyd is a great producer. Arnold layne is the exact template for see Emily play.
He certainly knew their live sound as well as anyone.
Thee are quite a few inaccuracies in this vid.
For me, their finest album. God bless Syd, he changed my life for the better
Awesome. Animals is their best one imo.
Thanks for this video
No problem dude ;)
I was waiting for this, you covered my favorite album by the Floyd, Animals and I was waiting for my second favorite. Now here it is! This is without a doubt one of my favorite albums in my collection and I'm proud of the fact that I have a mid 70's Columbia UK issue (because earlier pressings [especially the first & second press] are super rare). I love how in-depth your videos are and how well made they are, and maybe you'll cover Atom Heart Mother some day by some chance? Great video!
Lol that is awesome! And that sounds awesome. I'd imagine those pressings are expensive as fuck.
I might cover AHM if i feel inspired. Never really listened to it.
@@LieLikesMusic Yeah one in good condition can run up to about $300 to more than $1000. But I do have an original pressing of the Arnold Layne single which is in incredible condition, they can run up to $100. And yeah, Atom Heart Mother is a good album. It took me a couple of listens but soon it went to being one of my favorites.
A Melvins video would be cool, lot of different things to look into.
I would say do 'The Wall' album from pink Floyd because it's very interesting. by the end of the album, you figure out its a continuous loop, it also tells a story about someone being isolated from the rest of the world and slowly goes through some sort of madness and wanting to try and get out of that isolation. It's a bit similar to dark side of the moon, because it has sound effects to it, but the sounds are more interesting and makes you want to piece together the story as the album plays. I would say it is one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums, but it'll never have that psychedelic childlike sound as piper at the gates of dawn had. After Syd, the band never did maintain that sound, but always hinted at it, like wish you were here or dark side of the moon's track called "eclipse". The band always hinted Syd's influence in the band after piper.
Well Syd either created long-winded jams that could never be re-created or simple pop-songs. I think Floyd
managed to bring those two together after Syd left. They created the best of both worlds and turned their
raw psychedelic energy into impressive prog rock. About your suggestion of The Wall - yes i might do it. But i've
just released a few videos about Pink Floyd so i'll have to wait for some time now i think.
Very interesting and enjoyable snapshot of one of my favorite albums! It would be cool to a similar breakdown of their followup, Saucerful Of Secrets.
About to hit any song of this album on UA-cam and your video popped up on my yt home page ! Crazy coincidence!! Loved it ! 💓 Poo boom ch- ch- chuuu
Not to mention I think it was your video on Syd which brought me to your channel back in the days...
Btw Syd used an esquire guitar from Fender. They were the prototype Telecaster basically
Cigar that's not true. He used it but esquire was just a cheaper model of the Tele. For music students etc
Cigar At 3:55 it’s a Danlectro.
Syd did indeed use a Fender Esquire, which is the forerunner to the Telecaster. Esquire has nothing to do with Squire which is Fenders entry level guitar brand.
And yes, it is a Danelectro in the vid, but that clip has nothing to do with Pink Floyd. It’s probably a generic clip to illustrate the concept of a guitar in that time period.
@@directornonsense657 that clip is pink floyd actually. Its from the film Tonite Lets Make Love in London
Skelter Gaming Esquire =/= Squier. Esquires were made in the mid/late 50's, and were some of the first electric guitars Fender made.
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things on it to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could-but I borrowed it
I loooved the Album, really liked bike and flaming. I love your videos man
Cool cool! I'm glad you took the time to watch and share. Cheers.
great work!! awesome album.. used to listen to this in HS on DXM
Thanks!
Do a video on the Melvins please
High AF
very intersting! in depth analysis of the album
I'm glad you liked it :) Cheers
Love all the detail and research you do Lie. It would be awesome to do either how the doors made their first album, or do a vid about Black Sabbath’s debut. Cheers man, keep up the greatness 👍🏻
Thanks for seeing what i do man. I'm actually reading a book about Black Sabbath as we speak. It's very interesting
and contains tons of background info on the band and their releases. So it's highly possible that i'll release one about
them next year.
