listened to it like 3 days ago what a trip dude, dont leave me now, hey now, another brick in the wall 1-3, absolute classic album and the story is insane too
The weird instrument you heard on Pigs (Three Different Ones) is a Talkbox. All the notes are being played by David Gilmour on his guitar, but the guitar's sound is being run through his mouth, so he can give it that "talking" sound. I don't really know how to describe it better than that!
Yeah, I have one. It turns your head, throat, and chest cavity into a living speaker box. However you move your muscle groups changes the sound. You need a microphone and a PA system to be heard.
My dad was a big pink floyd fan, and I never took it seriously until I got to high school. Ever since then, Dogs is easily my favorite song from them. Not only are the themes of the song so applicable to real life, but the music is probably the best out there. Glad there's other younger guys appreciating this shit too.
pink floyd fans love to gatekeep and tell you how to listen and what to pay attention to but i just wanna tell you that you will enjoy the music the most when listening however you like and coming to your own conclusions. Really enjoying this series and looking forward to the wall
Sure, at the end of a day it's art and the consumer gets to decide what it means to them. This philosophy alone seems to leave out what the artist intended, and for me and others that is an integral part of how we understand the art in a more nuanced or perhaps from as many perspectives as required to be satisfied.
Couldn't make through their The Wall reaction. It was soooo fragmented. Cuts every 15 seconds. Guys.. .pause if needed, but jumps are very jarring for Floydians. Lol. (And yes, never EVER pause a Gilmour solo. The UA-cam algorithm understands this rule also.) 😉
in 1977 i was a casual pink floyd fan. mostly just stuff i heard on the radio from "dark side" and wish you were here". then in may,a few days before my 16th birthday, my friend scott called and said,"pink floyd is playing at anaheim (california) stadium tonight. we should go!" we sat on the outfield,people passing joints around all over the place,and for 3 hours i was mesmerized. the next day i went to the record store (anyone remember licorice pizza?) and bought "animals". that summer i also bought all the albums in the back catalog,immersing myself in their music. no doubt that night in may 1977 changed me. i went back to school in september a different person with a new outlook on life,people,and the world. i was especially changed musically. pop music was out,progressive rock was in. i can't imagine what kind of person i would have become had i not gone to that show. thank you scott,where ever you are today.
Animals was based off the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, except they wanted to make the album anti capitalist rather than anti communist (as the book shows) The pigs, three different ones refer to different politicians, just like in the novel, there are three pigs that potray Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, and the press (newspapers/propaganda) However, in the album it is potrayed as: wealthy captains of industry, leaders of the military, and priggish moralizers, in that order. sheep, obviously the most obvious one, is just the mindless people following their leaders and pigs Novel context, pigs were protected by the dogs and the pigs had control over dogs, the dogs had control over people, in album context, capitalists were protected by businessmen, and businessmen controlled the laborers and the low class workers. pretty deep and philosophical pink floyd album, probably the most controversial one as it debates politics
Have a Cigar was sung by guest singer Roy Harper. Pigs was sung by Roger Waters. Charade is the same word as charade. Just with a British accent. The sheep in the song rise up and kill the dogs. "Lo, we rise up. Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers...." The sheep speak to the pigs, "Haven't you heard? The dogs are dead. You better stay home and do what YOU'RE told if you want to grow old."
Dogs and sheep were actually old songs. They were called raving and drooling and you gotta be crazy. They played them during the wish you were here tour for years. They had different lyrics in their original incarnations but the music was essentially the same. They were reborn in the animals album as dogs and sheep. Pigs was written specifically for the animals album. The three animals comes from George Orwells book animal farm. Sheep are the ones just existing getting taken advantage of, dogs are the cut throat individuals trying to get ahead by any cut throat means. Pigs are the ruling class that takes advantage of everything and everyone. Pigs on the wing is actually a love song Roger wrote for his wife at the time. On the 8 track version of the album, it’s actually a single song with a Snowy White solo in between the two parts. Snowy played live with Pink Floyd and later Roger waters for decades.
Sheeo unfortunately does not give Rick Wright credit on the album (it's the Roger Waters ego mania phase), but he actually played a huge part in developing Sheep during the live tours!
Regarding Pigs, the Whitehouse that he references is Mary Whitehouse, a conservative politician from the day that was pretty regressive. They also supposedly reference Margaret Thatcher as a “bus stop rat bag” and also “you f-ed up old hag”. 32:08 which are pretty savage burns. Also the long sustained vocals on Sheep, like at the end of “a certain unease in the air” is a cross fade with a saxophone, which has a similar timbre to the human voice. Really great production detail.
@@TAJMofficial that’s wild, I’ve been listening to that album for 30 years now and never picked that up. After all the Sax on DSOTM and WYWH I assumed they had a studio horn guy on all of their albums. I can’t imagine which of the synths listed for Rick could produce that tone that didn’t sound like a straight sine wave. Mind blown
And, now that y’all have discovered PF, you will grow to love them even more over time. I loved PF always, but now that I’m 53 nearly every song is a life experience and all of them become much more personal. I cry sometimes listening to their songs now.
My third favorite *Pink Floyd* album after *The Wall* and *The Dark Side Of The Moon,* absolutely underrated, I used to listen to this every day while exercising for quite some time, it's so relaxing.
Pigs (Three Different Ones) goes so fuckin hard. That outro solo is Gilmour at his shreddiest ever. He also plays the fretless bass on this song and that bassline he’s playing during the outro is insane.
Stating that "The Wall" is just the life story of Roger Waters is a bit simplistic. Being the brilliant lyricist that he is, Roger uses events in his own life and the tragedy of Syd's mental collapse as a metaphor to say so much more. From war, to the educational system, to parenting, to insanity and redemption. "The Wall" is the masterpiece of their previous masterpieces imo. It is widely accepted as the best concept album ever made. But warning, it is complex. if you stop every few minutes to try and discuss and debate the meaning of everything you're going to totally ruin the flow and vibe of the album. The Wall's flow and transitions are impeccable. Don't lose that. 🙏 Also, some of the songs are pretty short... so don't let that number scare you. Looking forward. 👍
Your right and I'd add that they should just enter that album with the vision of the life events that are "bricks" in a wall that can either isolate or free someone from society, building or destroying a wall. First part being life events that helped build the wall, and second part is about understanding it and breaking free of it. Anyway, that's how I see it :)
We all have our Walls and we've all have to deal with the bricks that helped build them. How we work our way around, above, or through those walls is up to us. But what you don't want to do is hide behind it... at least not for too long. But let's not give too much away. 😏
@@flubblert Sadly, The Wall is the last "real Pink Floyd album"... I mean, after that, it will never be the same, ever... The Cosmos was nice enough to make them meet and make the four best albums in Space Time... It's even above them, they were just part of the Cosmic Alchemy :).
@@flubblert Although I was happy because it was a nice "18 years anniversary" event for me, and could see "them" on the Division Bell tour in 94, and that was GREAT... But... I can't help to only be a "huge fan" up until The Wall... The final cut is not a bad album at all, it's just all too much "Roger Only" A Momentary Lapse -> Too much "Gilmour FM". Over produced for just some "easy listening" pop radio music. Division Bell -> Hated the "Wish You Were Here" riff reprised faster -> lack of creativity. I like some stuff here and there, but it's not up to the level of the "golden arc". Often, I'd rather listen to Duran Duran or Depeche Mode... And more seriously to all the other music that I listen too, from Classical, to Jazz, through "all rock style", pop, grunge, punk or whatever, BEFORE listening to this one. Doesn't mean it's "bad", it's just several floors below... "I've heard there's a last one" -> I think it's a rumor, I don't wanna know, let me keep the best memory of "My" Floyd :D ! Also I'd rather listen to Syd Barret, of course, on the top list for me (but I admit: I got a huge crowd in my "top list" :) ).
Hippie era was long gone when this came out. Disco was everywhere and Punk was emerging in UK. They dropped this album that was really not into the current cultural vibes. It still sold a lot and it's among their best for many fans.
Hi guys - when you all done with PF, another band to check out (almost as good, more modern + heavier) is Porcupine Tree. Virtuoso musicians who started out as a joke back in mid 90's with original PF "Echos" like sounds ("Sky Moves Sideways") ended up with toe in modern metal. Try the track "Trains" as a sample. Enjoy! :)
you guys should try to get mic playback in your headphones, that way you can hear each other without having to ruin the experience and take off your headphones
The "bizarre" instrument, is a talkbox, the distorted sound of the guitar goes through a tube into David Gilmour's mouth, which is used as a "human Wah-Wah", and he plays it VERY WELL...
I learned to play guitar in the late 80s-90s and I learned by playing along with the Beatles, Black Crowes, Clapton, Led Zeppelin and a lot of Pink Floyd. Learning to play the songs gives a bigger appreciation for how simple, but technically clean job that was done on the instrumentation for these songs. Dogs, sheep, has a lot to do with the music industry and high society elite, vs the proletariat, blue collar, musicians, workers ect.
You just popped up in my feed. I first received this album in 1982. Vinyl. The cover has all the lyrics printed inside. Headphones were a must. Played it everyday after school. Love to see the younger generation getting into it. 😎
You guys did a good job picking up on meanings. I think the symbolism is pretty universal and not difficult to comprehend, so idk why people were talking like it was some pretentious shit lol The Wall will be a trip. Enjoy, looking forward to it
On another 3, David breaks out the newly invented Hiel Talk box (later used on Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh's albums) with an air tube in the mouth in conjunction with a guitar an amp create the "guitar talk" sound. That tech led to the feature "Pitch correct" in 1979 (early form of autotune). By blowing into an air tube while you play, you can manipulate the amp sound with your breath.
Their best: Ummagumma coz of their genre breaking creativity like music concrete together with meddle coz it doesnt get better then the soul medicine music art piece echoes, followed by Atom Heart mother
you need to hear Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. It is an instrumental post-rock colossal record consisting 4 songs spaning for 1:30h. For me this album changed my life and my view of music. It has big, like stadium big crescendos and the music is just on another level. It is probably my favourite record oat.
Sounds great Matt. The longer timescale/bigger project can only add more depth to the quality you’ve been posting already. I’m a new subscriber and your videos are inspiring for my own personal fitness journey. Glad to know there will be more content to look forward to! All the best!
I can't listen to this Pink Floyd album without making the connection that from the album cover, the lyrics of the songs, to the sound effects, and the choice of music rhythms, all tell a story, and that story is about the social crises caused by the rise of capitalism in the post-industrial revolution, post-war/cold war era, which was the reality Europe was going through.
Go on react to the Wall. It is the best ever. There is a song called Comfortably Numb. You guys will lose your soul listening to the second solo of that song
The Matrix ?? Jefferson Airplane, were playing at "The Matrix Club" in San Francisco in the 60's... You can see them, with a cameo of Hunter S. Thompson in the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" when Dr Gonzo have a flashback of some LSD felt on his shirt in the toilets of "The Matrix Club"... The concept of "The Matrix" even with this word is older than the movie. The movie "compiles" the 60's, 70's writings on the topic. You must watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... This is a great movie from a great "junky" story by the inventor of the "Gonzo Journalism" concept and the [in]famous "Gonzo" term.
@@samuelalexander558 Pepole should just apreciate the album for what it sounds like, its not because there is not all the original members that its not good..
@@samuelalexander558It’s somewhere in the middle. Waters became a tyrant in the band, as evidenced by the Final Cut. Division Bell is far from a masterpiece, but it was a new sound that did not try to replicate the Pink Floyd of old.
@@lukekiefer5964 Waters became frustrated with the other's lack of contribution, Gilmour said he had achieved everything he wanted after DSOTM (fame, money, lifestyle) and lacked motivation and Wright had developed a cocaine habit.
Buckle up! Their next studio album “The Wall” from 79 is a double album, and it’s a hell of a ride 👀 (unfortunately typically seen as their last masterpiece album though)
Have a Cigar was sung by another singer (a friend recording down the hall---Roy Harper). Neither David or Roger could get what they wanted on that track so they asked Roy to sing it.
I can't wait to hear this reaction. Also, you may notice that the audio quality of this album is not as good as the predecessors, which is because this was recorded in a brand new studio! However, there is a remix version, and it is even better than the original version. It genuinely made me appreciate this album even more, as I could hear more stuff going on in the background! The remix is titled "Animals (2018 Remix)", and I highly recommend listening to this version here on out for your own happiness.
@@darthraiden8740 Id say everyone should check it out if they haven't, some of my friends hate the remix But I personally think its a huge improvement over the original mix. Just personal preference at the end of the day
Absolutely entertaining watching you two - so refreshing to see a pair of young blokes getting off on Floyd, both musically and lyrically. Just like me and my mate back in the 70s when it first came out. If you do the Wall next, it would be best to do a little research on the overall concept, as it's very deep, but you'll definitely enjoy it. After those 4 albums, there's really not much like them to explore as far as conceptual albums go. Their last one before Roger left - The Final Cut - is really a Waters album. Still typically incredible lyrically, about Margaret Thatcher's reign as Prime Minister at the time of the Falklands War in early 80s, and the senselessness of war generally, particularly relating to Roger's Dad and Granddad being lost in both world wars. But it just isn't the same musically, but still a ride. There are still some brilliant songs splashed in amongst it and the following albums after Roger's departure, but there's just no comparison to their big 4. Again, a real joy to watch you experience music from 40-50 years ago and be touched by it. They really are something else.
~~ the Pompeii performance was filmed in early Oct. 1971 - at that time DSOTM was still a year and a half away from release - but somehow we have no HQ filmed shows from the Dark Side tour '73 -'74 - or the Wish You Were Here tour '75 - or the Animals tour '77 - ( the Wall in 1980 - 81 was done - but still no official release ) - only some bits & pieces of 8 or 16 mm home movies - how one of the most successful rock bands of the entire decade (and of all time) somehow failed to get any of those tours properly filmed is just a crime ..
There was a remix of this album that came out recently, it really improves on the sound quality of this album and brings it up to the level of the others. Listen to animals 2018 remix if you ever listen again in your spare time.
The wall next! And you should definitely check out meddle and the Division Bell. Other great albums too but division bell hits different for sure. It’s super underrated but well worth a listen
Fun fact: the dog barking sound effects aren't actually dogs, it's someone mashing their hand on a synth keyboard and flicking the volume slider up and down
25:47 that’s not a harmonica. His guitar is plugged into a talk box. It’s an apparatus that is connected to his speakers but it also has a rubber hose going to David Gilmours mouth. The pig oink sounds are achieved by him moving his mouth a certain way along with the sound of the distortion. These guys are literally geniuses.
The Wall next??
Yes, you should check out the movie version of the wall instead of the album though, or both
@@LimesChannel definitely do the album before you do the movie
Yes. The wall. The album version.
yes yes yes yes
listened to it like 3 days ago what a trip dude, dont leave me now, hey now, another brick in the wall 1-3, absolute classic album and the story is insane too

This album is based on the book Animal Farm by Orwell. You are right about the animals being a representation of different class’ of people.
Like *Piggies* by *The Beatles*
It's not exactly based on the book, rather, Roger took Orwell's concept of anthropromorphized animals to represent society.
the guitar solo at the ending of Pigs (Three Different Ones) definitely one of the most badass guitar solo ive ever heard.
especially when you heard the live versions of the77 tour of that guitar ending which was extrndet widely.
Gilmour put out some NASTY riffs on this album... It's funny because he's calm as a carp, but his sound is angry...
My dad was a big pink floyd fan, and I never took it seriously until I got to high school. Ever since then, Dogs is easily my favorite song from them. Not only are the themes of the song so applicable to real life, but the music is probably the best out there. Glad there's other younger guys appreciating this shit too.
Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a super short book, and the relationship between Pigs, Dogs and Sheep are well worth looking into.

ha you guys were in sync here 23:07 feelin it, pigs is an amazing song the whole album is another banger
5:16 you have no idea how loud i laughed. that caught me off-guard
Criminally underrated album!
Pigs, 3 different ones, sounded more like a Wood Block than a Cowbell, and Sharad is their way of saying Charade. Like Garidge vs Garage.
You guys did a good job picking up on meanings. I think the symbolism is pretty universal and not difficult to comprehend, so idk why people were talking like it was some pretentious shit lol
The Wall will be a trip. Enjoy, looking forward to it
On another 3, David breaks out the newly invented Hiel Talk box (later used on Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh's albums) with an air tube in the mouth in conjunction with a guitar an amp create the "guitar talk" sound. That tech led to the feature "Pitch correct" in 1979 (early form of autotune). By blowing into an air tube while you play, you can manipulate the amp sound with your breath.
when they find out about the Plato and allegory of the cave their minds will be blown, these philosophic concepts are ancient AF
You boys ain’t ready for their best album… 🧱
They just listened to their best
The Wall is the fifth best Pink Floyd album, Animals is their best
@@user-br2gi8kh5s every word demonstrably true
Their best: Ummagumma coz of their genre breaking creativity like music concrete together with meddle coz it doesnt get better then the soul medicine music art piece echoes, followed by Atom Heart mother
@@PhilBrandes That's the worst take I've ever read
you need to hear Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. It is an instrumental post-rock colossal record consisting 4 songs spaning for 1:30h. For me this album changed my life and my view of music. It has big, like stadium big crescendos and the music is just on another level. It is probably my favourite record oat.
last song’s about how they have a choice to adhere to the prescribed roles of the album
Amazing video, really enjoyed the discussion
Sounds great Matt. The longer timescale/bigger project can only add more depth to the quality you’ve been posting already.
I’m a new subscriber and your videos are inspiring for my own personal fitness journey.
Glad to know there will be more content to look forward to! All the best!
I can't listen to this Pink Floyd album without making the connection that from the album cover, the lyrics of the songs, to the sound effects, and the choice of music rhythms, all tell a story, and that story is about the social crises caused by the rise of capitalism in the post-industrial revolution, post-war/cold war era, which was the reality Europe was going through.
You are correct sir! Great observation about Pigs
Go on react to the Wall. It is the best ever. There is a song called Comfortably Numb. You guys will lose your soul listening to the second solo of that song
The Matrix ?? Jefferson Airplane, were playing at "The Matrix Club" in San Francisco in the 60's... You can see them, with a cameo of Hunter S. Thompson in the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" when Dr Gonzo have a flashback of some LSD felt on his shirt in the toilets of "The Matrix Club"...
The concept of "The Matrix" even with this word is older than the movie. The movie "compiles" the 60's, 70's writings on the topic.
You must watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... This is a great movie from a great "junky" story by the inventor of the "Gonzo Journalism" concept and the [in]famous "Gonzo" term.
Sometimes it's a Dog Eat Dog world we live in and you know Pink Floyd went thru it all...
Nice reactions, subscribed
You guys should lisen to division bell, a MASTERPIECE
In one word, bollocks. It's a poor mediocre offering that misses Waters edge
@@samuelalexander558 Pepole should just apreciate the album for what it sounds like, its not because there is not all the original members that its not good..
@@samuelalexander558It’s somewhere in the middle. Waters became a tyrant in the band, as evidenced by the Final Cut. Division Bell is far from a masterpiece, but it was a new sound that did not try to replicate the Pink Floyd of old.
@@lukekiefer5964 Waters became frustrated with the other's lack of contribution, Gilmour said he had achieved everything he wanted after DSOTM (fame, money, lifestyle) and lacked motivation and Wright had developed a cocaine habit.
@@Mastersauce12311 bullshit, Poly seasom trying to be Roger Waters
You never ever cut off david gilmour he is the master!!!!
Time... to light the tiki. That old nostalgic feeling.
Made it through half way of Pigs before no hat then brings it back for Sheep and changes the vibe-- who is this man
Buckle up! Their next studio album “The Wall” from 79 is a double album, and it’s a hell of a ride 👀 (unfortunately typically seen as their last masterpiece album though)
Not final cut then? If that isn't a masterpiece I don't know what is.
Have a Cigar was sung by another singer (a friend recording down the hall---Roy Harper). Neither David or Roger could get what they wanted on that track so they asked Roy to sing it.
Roger sings Another 3 on this. Not Roy.
I can't wait to hear this reaction. Also, you may notice that the audio quality of this album is not as good as the predecessors, which is because this was recorded in a brand new studio! However, there is a remix version, and it is even better than the original version. It genuinely made me appreciate this album even more, as I could hear more stuff going on in the background! The remix is titled "Animals (2018 Remix)", and I highly recommend listening to this version here on out for your own happiness.
The bass on the 2018 remix is waaaaaaay too loud
@@col4311 I mean I disagree but you’re entitled to your own opinion!
@@col4311 I mean they should check it out at least right? Just to see if they like it or not?
@@darthraiden8740 Id say everyone should check it out if they haven't, some of my friends hate the remix But I personally think its a huge improvement over the original mix. Just personal preference at the end of the day
@@darthraiden8740yeah thats fine. Thats just my opinion. Sorry if I was rude
You should react to Doolittle by Pixies. I think you would really like it.
I don't know how you guessed it was like the book Animal Farm before even hearing it. SUSPECT!
loved the vid guys!
Good job guys
Valley of steel is a reference to walking along the corridor of an abattoir just before the final act in Sheep
Absolutely entertaining watching you two - so refreshing to see a pair of young blokes getting off on Floyd, both musically and lyrically. Just like me and my mate back in the 70s when it first came out. If you do the Wall next, it would be best to do a little research on the overall concept, as it's very deep, but you'll definitely enjoy it. After those 4 albums, there's really not much like them to explore as far as conceptual albums go. Their last one before Roger left - The Final Cut - is really a Waters album. Still typically incredible lyrically, about Margaret Thatcher's reign as Prime Minister at the time of the Falklands War in early 80s, and the senselessness of war generally, particularly relating to Roger's Dad and Granddad being lost in both world wars. But it just isn't the same musically, but still a ride. There are still some brilliant songs splashed in amongst it and the following albums after Roger's departure, but there's just no comparison to their big 4. Again, a real joy to watch you experience music from 40-50 years ago and be touched by it. They really are something else.
~~ the Pompeii performance was filmed in early Oct. 1971 - at that time DSOTM was still a year and a half away from release - but somehow we have no HQ filmed shows from the Dark Side tour '73 -'74 - or the Wish You Were Here tour '75 - or the Animals tour '77 - ( the Wall in 1980 - 81 was done - but still no official release ) - only some bits & pieces of 8 or 16 mm home movies - how one of the most successful rock bands of the entire decade (and of all time) somehow failed to get any of those tours properly filmed is just a crime ..
Gilmour shreds like a machine!
Pigs On The Wings is actually a love song that Roger made to his wife at the time
There was a remix of this album that came out recently, it really improves on the sound quality of this album and brings it up to the level of the others. Listen to animals 2018 remix if you ever listen again in your spare time.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
I thumbs up every positive comment about Pink Floyd I see on this thread.
This album is awesome!
Man gets your hard hats on get your greenery on the scenery and watch Pink Floyd The Wall
The wall next! And you should definitely check out meddle and the Division Bell. Other great albums too but division bell hits different for sure. It’s super underrated but well worth a listen
Seeing the yuenglings grooving to the gods I grooved back then...priceless!
Can’t wait to see you fall down the rabbit hole of 70's Prog Rock. Genesis, Yes, King Crimson. Make sure your seats are fastened…
he listened to wish you were here and had a cigar
This channels gonna go far.
Haha! Charade you are!
Animals is a fantastic album. Lyrics and music is still exceptionell. And you MUST do The Wall.
Enjoy the experience!
The back stacbbing is business ,Wall Street for example,
Fun fact: the dog barking sound effects aren't actually dogs, it's someone mashing their hand on a synth keyboard and flicking the volume slider up and down
Thought I knew everything about this album but I didn’t know that! Thank you!!
i have a feeling they wouldn't like early pink floyd at all, i can imagine them going "WTF" over and over again through a lot of songs
Warden of the pigs = George Orwell's animal farm dogs.
25:47 that’s not a harmonica. His guitar is plugged into a talk box. It’s an apparatus that is connected to his speakers but it also has a rubber hose going to David Gilmours mouth. The pig oink sounds are achieved by him moving his mouth a certain way along with the sound of the distortion. These guys are literally geniuses.
The dogs keep the sheep in line
TEAR DOWN THE WALL! TEAR DOWN THE WALL!
PLEASE reaccionen a DAVID BOWIE, ZIGGY STARDUST
You guys need to do Ants from up there by Black country, new road
