#RogerWaters #AmusedtoDeath
This is an album that you have to listen to the whole thing a couple times and then you fall in love with it.
The whole album is a masterpiece. Listen to it beginning to end.
Roger waters sees what most people see, and says it as it is, very very honest.
25 years and still listening to this
Roger's albums are concept pieces, and need to consumed as a whole in one sitting.
I love Amused to Death, easily the best thing Waters has done outside Floyd IMO. Perfect Sense (both parts) are probably my favourite track.
Me too, I live the Marv Albert announcing the war part.
The album indeed is a masterpiece,.... but just wait until you hear the MFSL remastering of it.
Ah, U gotta give Pros and Cons a couple ears. It’s my favorite.
You can’t judge individual tracks on this album. It is a whole piece. It’s brilliant in entirety, even more so because it dates back to the early 90’s. Keep that in mind when you listen.
The opening track is most hauntingly beautiful
Jeff Beck on guitar on this album I believe.
Roger is a genius
A little ironic that David Gilmore says Jeff Beck is his favorite guitarist.
Geez, over the years I'd come to the conclusion that nobody in the world had heard of "Amused to Death" but me. It's a brilliant work. I don't know why you chose this song in particular, but If it spurs you and others on to listening to the whole album then kudos! For great individual songs, I especially like "Perfect Sense" parts 1 & 2, and "The Bravery of being out of Range" but they're all good. For pure storytelling you can't beat "Late Home Tonight" parts 1 & 2.
Hey folks, give this album a listen from beginning to end; you won't regret it!
My dad was a huge Pink Floyd fan, raised me on daily full album listens. Fell asleep on the couch every night listening to the records. In Jr high and high school he was playing Roger Waters solo stuff as well. Suffice it to say I was essentially raised by the ideology of Roger Waters. My dad passed away a while ago, but I still listen to full albums nearly daily. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Late home tonight and Too much rope are my favourites.. Or... Watching TV... or.. what god wants.... or... ah the whole album is brilliant
Assure you you are not alone ..this album haunted me ever-since it came out🤙🏽
You’ve been recommended isolated tracks from an INSANELY epic concept album. You really MUST list to the whole thing, it’s sublime.
Yea, and read the words with it
I love this track.
Jeff Beck played most of the guitar tracks on this album...one of my favorites.
I think it is very important to have a position on what happens in the world, it is sad when someone does not care what happens to another human being. Roger Waters is a great artist
I will not judge these songs on their own! I will sit down and listen to the album in its entirety ! These songs must play a part and flow with the album! Its a shame to show them this way! I agree Nick and Lex, that many people will not get these tracks at all. Thanks for the request bud! Im intrigued! Thanks for the reaction as well!
Yes, listen to the whole album a few times. It takes a while, but then the fog clears and you realise this is both an emotional rollercoaster (particularly Watching TV) and a masterpiece.
One of the greatest albums of all time! I hope you enjoy more songs.
when in about 1999 when roger finally started touring again, he was playing in new jersey "garden state art center" and i never heard this song live. when roger started plaiyng this song ,it was so emotional for me.. i cried in the middle of the song. i never cry at concerts! roger waters always moves me with his music and lyrics. roger make you think, makes you part of the experience that you are part of the album. this man always moved me. God bless this man. i always relate my life with his songs!
You are just going to have to listen to the whole album😉🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
I think his playing on this album is one of Jeff Beck's best guest appearances.
@@-R.Gray- Agreed 👍🏽
An Album 20 yrs ahead of its time ... fact. This track ....Its a masterpiece of sarcasm.
Thanks for spending the time ... respect.
I’ve always enjoyed all of Waters solo albums, more than Gilmour’s to be honest. The two of their skill sets meshed perfectly together for song writing. The title track to this album is one of my favorite songs of all time. Great reaction as always!
Amused To Death ✅
Gilmour's a great guitarist, no doubt, but he doesn't have the drive and pathos of Water's. When I first heard Dog's of War I thought "oh yeah, he's just doing Water's anti-war thing" but there was no real passion behind it, and that song is godawful lyrically, and to be honest, musically. Gilmour has great solo's but Water's is a far, far superior songwriter overall imo.
I agree, Waters's music and lirycs are deeper...his solo albums are amazing!!
I had the DVD of his well-received 'In the Flesh' tour, recorded around 2000 mainly in Portland, Oregon, and this song blew me away. He combined his original post-Floyd work with a number of the band's classics, including 'Brick' I and II and his solo specialties like the haunting 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun'. Waters used three guitarists to cover the Gilmour solos, Snowy White, Andy Fairweather-Low and Doyle Bramhall II, also Gilmour Floyd alumnus Jon Carin, and Graham Broad doing a mighty job on drums. Roger's flagging vocal ability was no secret, but he made up for this with great projection on stage, and as always, powerful material, both lyrically and in production and arrangement. Highly recommended if you can get hold of it, also the DVD of The Wall Live in Berlin 1990, with a star-studded cast, most of which is available here on YT.
Favourite lines, among many: 'And a doctor in Manhattan saved a dying man for free - it's a miracle!' And of course the piano lid coming down and breaking Andrew Lloyd Webber's fingers. Can you imagine David writing that?
That DVD set in time the best concert that I think could ever be thought of "also" with Pink Floyd tracks.
Here on UA-cam there is everything and even with the lyrics:
m.ua-cam.com/video/NDTWsuyDYRM/v-deo.html
Roger and "class" hand in hand ...
@@Enrico.Sbardolini Thanks so much for the link, Enrico. It was great to experience that again. I hope Nick and Lex get to it as well. A lot more classic Floyd than I remembered, but not including 'Brick I', I was mistaken. I should also add Jon Carin as a fourth guitarist for his lap slide work. Having the subtitles also helps bring Roger's consistently outstanding lyrics to the fore.
My big brother and I saw this concert live in Birmingham, England. Blew us away.
Great to see you guys again - brilliant track which is from the album ‘Amused to Death’ another track suggestion from that album would be ‘What God wants’. The album features some great guitar work from Jeff Beck. Love watching you both - keep it up!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻from 🇬🇧
This is couch music, you have to be in the mood, you have to be alone, lie down, look at the booklet and enjoy the complete album.
This truly a thought provoking and melancholy piece talking about our current state of affairs...with a dire warning...Ty guys...awesome take
This is a miracle that is Roger Watters with such a song
Cada vez que escucho este gran tema, no puedo dejar de emocionarme por la parte de guitarra al final que hizo el gran Jeff Beck!, impresionante y con muy buen gusto
There’s a zombie movie film clip sampled towards the end (“Shock Waves”) - it fits the theme that an ape is channel-surfing, changing channels on TV (from the title’s reference to the Neil Postman book). Thanks Mauricio. Great reaction. There’s lots of head space on this album. Thanks ✨🤪
Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” makes the case that we will be screen-addicted and all info and education will turn into “entertainment” so that we won’t even know what’s important anymore - just like an ape randomly changing channels. ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 did you say will be 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@mauriciodelarosa2449 Exactly. We’re already screen-addicted. 🤖 Lol.
You’re the best, Mo. Thanks for all the fun musical journeys. ✨🤪
You need to hear to the whole album as it's a concept allbum plus it has very sarcastic, sad, accusing but also very true lyrics from the first track all through to the last one.
Lyrically , Waters always provided the cutting edge
That is arguably his best solo album. I saw him twice in Pink Floyd and 4 times solo, he always put on an incredible show with giant productions and themes....First time solo he had Eric Clapton on lead guitar, was way cool to hear him taking on old Floyd numbers, he was outstanding on Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. The whole first set was Floyd, they had an intermission (as they do at all Floyd and Floyd alumni tours) them came back for a second set of Pros And Cons of Hitchiking. Great show and as always stunning visuals. The next solo show was the In the Flesh Tour, and he did a greatest hits of both Floyd and solo stuff. The 3rd time he did a full Dark Side of the Moon as the centerpiece and the 4th time it was The Wall in its entirety. Roger always had the biggest shows and incredible musicians and special effects like an astronaut or a couple versions of the pig flying around. We were utterly freaked out by the prism with lasers coming out in Dark Side with every color imaginable coming out. I loved his shows for sure, but musicaly speaking, he could not top David Gilmour who I saw twice solo and 4 times with Floyd. Roger would have 2 or even 3 guitarists trying to play what David did by himself. There is no better musician on any instrument that I have seen in my 66 years. Please do some of David's solo stuff sometime, Raise My Rent and Mihalis off his first album are classics. Also off his live Remember That Night, try The video for On An Island with David Crosby and Graham Nash of CSNY Fame on backing vocals. David Gilmour's guitar on that live track is amongst the best he's ever done and even has the others on stage in awe. Please do the video and not just the audio, you will miss out big-time if you do not see the performance. Enjoy! Rock On. 🎸😎
This song brings tears to my eyes...
this album is one of the best recodings ever made a pinicle of sound structures
perfect sence 1 and 2 run together and amused to death are my best waters solo tunes
For me, this album is on a par with the best work of Pink Floyd. One of my favorite albums ever.
Great job so far! But... you really should listen to this album in its entirity! All songs and lyrics are connected; in the finale 'Amused to Death' it all comes together.
He was in his fifties when this album came out.
An absolute masterpiece!
Estaba taaaan cansada cuando me puse a escuchar esta reacción, sentí como el cansancio se deslizaba de mi cuerpo.
Hermoso!
This is obviously a part of a bigger while, a wider narrative so I get what you guys mean. Listen to the entire album, it's worth it. 👍
you need to listen to this album front to back, and read the lyrics.
Much of Rogers solo stuff has to grow on you. But try "Perfect Sense" parts 1 and 2.
Roger is the genius 🍻
That verse about Lloyd Webber’s fingers getting broken cracks me up. There’s a very well known melody line in the phantom of the opera stolen directly from Echoes by Pink Floyd.
This whole album is stellar. Jeff Beck’s playing is just other worldly
Amused To Death is my favourite album of all time. You should check out Roger's 'In The Flesh - Live' DVD, where he plays 4 songs from the album. My personal favourite is 'The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range'.
Amused to death sounds more like PF THAN PF after waters , and I’m not saying I don’t like Pink Floyd after waters , I love them too, Gilmour will always be my favorite guitar player forever, but waters”s albums are such an amazing piece of art everyone and this one specially it’s just one of the greatest achievements in music history to me, He’s like understanding the future in 1991 what is happening right now and all the great musicians that recorded with him in the album and the drums with Jeff Porcaro , And jeff beck”s guitar It’s just amazing , oh yes I forgot yes he was having problems with His voice but remember by that time he was the one in the group and i mean Pink Floyd Who was always screaming with the songs from Darkside of the moon till the final coat and if you listen to his two first solo albums he keeps screaming a lot and he used to smoke a lot , After that album he Stopped smoking, And I saw him a lot live And he is singing much better even nowadays, He just needed to rest for a while and quit smoking now he sings much better but he’s almost 80 now, and he can do things that he couldn’t add that album even though if you listen to other sons he keeps screaming depending on the song but I think he’s OK we have singers that The voice is like that from the beginning of their career like dylan .
Well said sir
Waters only album post-Floyd that one would consider a classic. You guys will love it. Jeff Beck crushing it. It has everything. And on this track the great Jeff Porcaro on drum- sadly the only song on which he played. He comes in with this restrained thunder. And carries the song to the next level.
Hi, [again - already. Lol ] - The beginning of this always reminds me of 'Echoes' after the seagulls in the mid section most refer to as Echoes Part Two. I've never heard this as a stand alone track. It's pretty much near the end of the album, so you are already in the zone when it comes. The verse about Andrew Lloyd Webber at the piano cracked me up first time I heard it, ...so funny. There is so much to take in and Lex is right. You need to chill out uninterrupted on headphones and play it all. Your reaction as a single track never occurred to me but you are right. It's the same with Pro's & Con's of Hitchhiking. You cannot take out a track on it's own. Enjoy the album.
A doctor in Manhattan saved a dying man for free
- It's a miracle!
Indeed
Molto bene grazie Evitaeterna.--
What a wonderful world you live in, to be so unaware of geopolitics.
My favourite track on the album. But the album is amazing. Very moving. If you like this and you've never heard, 'Get Back to Radio' by Roger Waters, i recommend it.
So happy you are reacting to some Roger Waters. Was a big Waters fan before I got into Floyd in earnest. My late brother loved him some Radio Kaos. Amused to Death by the way came out during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Unfortunately network news has since gotten much worse in reporting the the realities of war since then. The favorite by far of mine and my daughter is the Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. The inflections in Waters' voice in all three of these works are heart wrenching, but must be listened to in entirety to get. Actually the voices at the end of Miracle reminded me of Friends of Mr. Cairo by Vangelis and Jon Anderson. If you like old time movie stars, special sound effects, Jon on top of his game, and Sheherezade tales and likened music it would be a fun song for you two to review.
I listen to Friends of Mr Cairo 30 times a year minimum its a great piece of music
When you go to a Roger Waters concert it's like convening for a mass meeting of some club you didn't even know you were in, until the show starts and you realize that you share a huge amount of your openminded, accepting and compassionate worldview with virtually everyone around you. I love how his pieces are like operas with the libretto's removed. And how, in this one, he sneaks an insult to Andrew Lloyd Webber, who gave the world Cats. o.0
Your wearing the perfect t-shirt for this track!
I'd say in his fiftys, but everything Roger does is for effect. So this is part of the story telling is all.
Almost, 49.
yoou need to listen to the whole album
Surely after these two songs, you must be half interested in the whole album? To be honest it took 4 or 5 listens to 'get' the album, but once I did, I listened to it every night for about 6 months.
I'm back for the second one. I really think I'm going to download the whole album. At the very least, listen to the whole thing. I sense a similarity to Floyd with a sparse, emoting guitar, albeit very different than David's.
The guitar player is Jeff Beck, who was the person Roger initially wanted to replace Syd - but couldn't afford.
@@alangillespie really? Jeff Beck is on here? The whole album?
@@cometogether999 Just trying to be helpful - no need to be a dick.
Never heard this stuff before and I'm a big PF fan aswell. Might have to give this album a listen at least once....seems very atmospheric.
The best esecution of
the core tracks of Amused to Death are great in performing live on the 2000 "In The Flesh" tour. John Carin (who has always played live with both David Ghilmour and Roger Wa) it gives the keyboards such an imprint that it seems to hear Rick Wright so much the sound is more PF ... but also everything else Roger has improved a lot by choosing lesser known names for that tour than those who contributed to the original, but "much more productive" (drums in primis).

next to that LP, he deserves a lot!
Also, the pot shot at Andrew Lewd Webber is comical here. Roger was upset with him because he believes the main theme song to Phantom of the Opera was stolen from the hook riff of the song Echoes. He may not be wrong….
That riff might go back even before Echoes. Listen to a song called Conquistador by Procol Harum from 67. Tell me what you think
"amused to death" about watching TV from 1992. listen to the whole thing and you will see it all relevant today.
Sublime
the artist work of RW is the best ever in the world-his lyrics are timeless and his human being is my favorit for human life .....amused to death ---we are five minuts after the hope for better world
Roger for President of the World - and USA also
rogert waters is stive jobs of music
Perfect sintesis!
Definitely, this album is an experience. As you realize, it needs to be listen in a whole.
the Lloyd Weber reference is because Roger and Floyd believed Lloyd Weber stole a theme from Floyd's Echoes for use in Phantom of the Opera Yes People don't like Roger these days cause he has the guts to stand up for the Palestinian people You don't have to be political...just be aware This species has Amused Itself to Death
It's not that Roger David Rick and Nick "believed" ...
EVERYONE KNOWS that the entire Echoes rif was EXACTLY stolen in the Phantom of the Opera 15 years later:

@@Enrico.Sbardolini Yeah i agree I wasn't more forceful cause i ain't an expert but you can hear it And i believe the Floyd guys
"Come Dancing", we'll explore Jeff Beck's Wired album swaying to the beat.
Hey Nick and Alexis Terry on this particular album I believe the best song by far is what God wants featuring Jeff Beck on guitar much more upbeat maybe you can get an idea of how great Jeff Beck is I almost double dare you to play it LOL take care of you guys
He was around 50 at the time of recording.
He holds a grief against Andew Lloyd Webber because he accuses him of plagiating "Echoes" for the main theme of "Phantom of the Opera".
Please, do more Angra or Shaman songs, their discography is fantastic. Also, if you haven't heard the temple of shadows, you're gonna love it, specially the shadow hunter. This song has a lot of holy land vibes, mixing traditional Brazilian rithms with heavy metal! 😁👍
He said meet me in the gardens of Gethsemene my dear, the lord said Peter I can see your house from here…………prophetic words from the cross.
The last part is a punchline from a joke which has Peter being called by a dying Christ on the cross and after fighting through the crowd and guards he climbs up to Jesus and says yes lord
La beriso como olvidarme
It’s ok! You can say you don’t like it. You don’t have to like everything. A lot of His stuff I don’t like and several of his things I love.
I like just about every song on Amused to Death. It's a Miracle isn't one of them.
Radio kaos is a good album by Rodger waters
One thing that’s always upset me about Amuse to death. That fact that it should have been a Pink Floyd album.
11:22 …Jeff Beck does things nobody else can…
No me voy a cansar jaja reaccionen a música para pastillas
what would this album be like with Pink Floyd?...what was lost by breaking up?
How do you not laugh when he sings "they had sex in Pennsylvania"
In case you’re wondering - Waters’ antipathy towards Andrew Lloyd Webber springs from his claim that Webber took the basic chromatic run in Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” and used it in the main theme to the Phantom of the Opera. You can certainly hear the resemblance but in fairness to Webber, chromatic runs like that are fairly common in rock music.
My suggestion for a “reaction” … When Opposites Meet by a UK band called Sky (from the album of the same name).
Is there a better lyric than “ a Brazilian grew a tree “
BMC??
People that whine about his politics are clueless of his music, both solo & Floyd years. I agree with some of his ideas & disagree with others & we are on opposite sides of political solutions, that does'nt change the fact that I idolize him.
A lot of people feel the same way about Clapton these days

Very politically charged lyrics. Love this album
It's a shame you two haven't done "What God Wants" parts 1,2, and 3. Those pieces are what the album is about. Roger concepted this album to address the issue of President Bush got on stage with a national Preacher Billy Graham telling the US people that God wants us to go to war in the middle east. And then it was desert storm.
It basically points out the hipocrisy of it all.. A few lyrics..
" God wants peace, God wants war, God wants famine, God wants chain stores"..." God wants sedition, God wants sex, God wants freedom. God wants semtex."
CHICOS REACCIONEN A LA RENGA PANIC SHOW
They say they like the song but they are not political that's a free choice but if you are political then you'll really appreciate this song even more and it's message of disgusting modern excess while the majority go without basic human needs
Pooch ....
jeff beck
It’s mocking religion
Look, if you’re not politically active, on the far left, you don’t get to touch Roger. Music is just the vehicle. Stay away if you won’t go there. Er is genoeg voor iedereen, dus drinken we samen
Dont need David
Waters was Floyd. Period.
meh
Why not STOP talking while you are listening to the music?. Listen and feel first, then jabber. It drives me nuts! You miss so much and you ruin the experience.
Sophisticated boredom. Sorry for being so negative here, I am aware that this probably should be consumed as a concept album in its entirety, yet still, musically this is utterly boring.
👈 normal person, not particularly liked it
As great as Roger Waters is he's pretty much a one-trick pony it's depression in the war and evil incorporations it's all negative sometimes that can come off in a wonderful way but it's usually the music that makes the song not the lyrics because the music supports the lyrics it's the groove baby
I know this is unpopular opinion, but even though I like and enjoy this album as a whole, I feel he gets a bit too preachy. He started with The Wall, then continued on The Final Cut and then solo became really strong for me, so much that it takes away from the musical part. I dislike his general attitude as he got older. Have read tons of things about Pink Floyd's history and he was always really hard to work with, but also he's really hateful in my opinion, he always has to come out and say how trash other people's work is, and that I don't like.
