Um...it's actually against the law to pause a David Gilmore guitar solo. I hope that you didn't get a ticket.
It is law.
Best guitar solo in the world, only solo that can give me goosebumps the whole way through
Thank You
Declan Cooper agreed. The emotion behind it is phenomenal
State Law,Swear to God!
Comfortably Numb is from the album The Wall. It is a theme album where the protagonist slowly succumbs to neurosis. Pink Floyd didn't make 3-5 minute songs for radio play. They made theme albums. Each song can appreciated individually of course, but they are really intended to be consumed as a whole. If you have an inclination to do a full album review, I would encourage you to try Dark Side of the Moon as a starter.
No it's about shooting up first a Dr gives pain medication then he takes it in his own hands
One of the greatest albums of all time.
dont forget they made a movie based on the album too
@@thedominator87 what movie?
@@Infamous159 The Wall, it was a movie based on the album
"The child is grown the dream is gone".
You're the only UA-camr listening to this song to have picked up on this.
Exactly. Not only that, he got the meaning of the lyrics very early in the song.
Yup, most people miss the deep meaning of the lyrics… Roger Waters was the poet of the rock music
I used to listen to this when I was using heroin I’m clean now for 7 years but this song gives me chills man
Congrats dude
Big ups dude!
So glad you're clean. My story is different, this song got me through a very difficult labour with my son and I nearly died. I kept singing this to myself to keep me going. Means a lot to me. My love to you.
pills here 11 years clean stay strong my friend.
@Stoli Blue I can't count how many times that I relapsed. Its a fight a fight for your life. It gets better each year. I made it through signing papers to have my dad taken off life support. One thing I did that some people think is weak is talking to a professional. He got me into these groups like family, anger, stress, and on and on. It taught me things that my parents didn't. That was a big break through also I picked up a camera and in 8 years I had my first gallery show. I also started guitar lessons. The camera was much easier the thing is get a hobby. If you were like me you are worried about withdrawal. Hospitals do a good job at that....know that you matter If not to anyone else you do to me. I can not make you go to get help but I wish you the best
Hey Shaq.
I love that you gave this a spin.
The Wall album is a story based in the life of the singer. Tragedy and redemption.
Lost his dad in the war, had a crazy controlling mother, was abused by a crazy teacher.
His mom teaches him to distrust people and encourages him to build a wall around himself for protection from being hurt.
His life becomes about wild women and heavy drugs and being a rockstar until he is lost and isolated behind The Wall.
The second half of the album is him trying to break out, “Is there anybody out there?”
Comfortably Numb tells about him being so drugged up he can’t go on stage for a concert. So doctor feel good shoots him full of junk to get him in good enough shape to perform.
Listen to the whole album front to back and read the words as you go.
It’ll blow your mind.
Crazy deep.
Listening to this album growing up is what led me to become a social worker and therapist for at risk youth.
You’ll dig it the most.
This may be the most accurate description of what the albums mean
@@koolhandluke2009 literally was about to comment that lol
Kool Handluke Thanks dude. I got halfway into it and realized Floyd fans might not dig a quick summary.
Then it started to look like an essay 🙄
Exactly!!!
like this coment more so people can read this at the start
Man invented the stratocaster; and God created David Gilmour to play it.
He actually created two people to play it: Gilmour and Mark Knopfler.
Right after Jimi Hendrix
Never missed a note
Amen !!!! And man created the gibson and god created Jimmy Page to play it !!! Amen !!!
@@blabla48076 Knopfler mostly plays Les Pauls
the song is part of an entire rock opera that has a storyline. so 'the wall' is best enjoyed hearing the album in its entirety.
Even Dark Side of the Moon needs that treatment. Its a whole story, and watching it matched to wizard of Oz is also amazing.
Exactly! Those albums need to be listened to from start to finish!!! There is nothing like it!!! He should watch The Wall film!
Don’t forget about the movie!!
More people should see this. Pink floyd is like tool. Gotta commit full album with some weed and vibe through
For some reason I wasn’t a huge fan of the song until I listened to the whole album. It’s one of my favorite songs now
The Solo that Gilmour plays at the end is a work of art, Mona lisa level. One of the best if not the best solo's in history.
It is the best
It is the best
All other guitar solos can only aspire to be second best, Gilmour has first place locked down.
RIP RW.
free bird tho. but yes it is goated
Come on guys, I love that solo but the absolute best? Nah...It's basically a blues scale if I'm not mistaken. As a guitar player myself I always respected David's emotional playing. His licks have meaning in the song and aren't disconnected from it. I just wish he'd learn some arpeggios, tapping etc. I know it's way before that way of playing but I miss this. Still, a legendary player and I always feel his solos deeply.
We need more people like this man. He’s bringing two cultures together where at times there’s been separation and pain. Keep going bro. The world is a better place so long as your work continues.
HisWordsAreTruth LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!
Love Shaq!
Yes, very true. Tjis man is a righteous dude, bery insightful and entertaining. Choice of selection of this song, however, should have been PULSE , or Live at Pompeii, or Gdansk.
@@charleshutton284 let the man choose his own songs. He is the most righteous man on the planet right now. Thank you, coach! New fan here. LOVING all of your videos. Thank you! Much needed smiles and laughs during this crisis. God bless you and your family, brah! Stay safe and strong, and be well! Peace!
I concur!
Never, never, EVERRR pause the gilmour's solo
Thats a crime.
Agung Satrio yea that’s true NEVER NEVER
Very very true
That shut be take as felony
EVER!
The story behind this song is that there is a Musician named Pink who is going insane and is deeply depressed, and has built a “wall” around him separating him from society. The creepy voice is his band manager coming into his room and finding him in a drug induced coma/ flash back to his childhood. The “pin prick” is the band manager giving him a shot of something, probably adrenaline to get him out of it, so he can go on with his show. The message of it is that the manager doesn’t care about him he just wants him to play the show. “The child is grown, the dream is gone.” Is a nod to the previous songs in the album, and how he was in the flashbacks of his horrible childhood. All in all, you’re just another Brick in the wall.
Where did you get all that from? Because that's not true. This song was written by Roger Waters based on his personal experience with physical issues going back to childhood. That stuff you are saying doesn't even makes sense. I saw an interview with Roger Waters, founding member of Pink Floyd.
Gregory Rader no he’s definitely right. You can watch the movie made by Floyd, it’s an expression of his real life through the character of pink
Gregory Rader yeah I know it was written by Rodger waters, I own the album his name is everywhere on it😂 it’s not direct real experiences that he had, but similar ones that he experienced through struggled with depression and mental health that Rodger had while going through a rough patch in the band between him and the rest of the band mates (David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, in case you thought I didn’t know who they were.) in one of the interviews you are talking about, he says that he had a horrible concert, where he even spit on a fan, and in that moment he just wanted to build a wall between him and everyone else, which gave him the idea for the album. His childhood experiences and adulthood experienced fueled this album for sure, but I was talking about the story it was telling, which you can see if you watch the movie.
Gregory Rader also, Rodger Waters didn’t make Pink Floyd by himself, even tho he seems to think he did. Pink Floyd never would have even happened if it wasn’t for Syd Barrett, Rick Wright and Nick Mason.
You are correct. I just picked up the the complete story of the dark side of the moon. This is a special collector's edition. The name pink floyd comes from Pink Anderson, and Floyd Council. These guys were about R&B, and Blues.
This.
This is why I'm a Pink Floyd fan.... you can see when the light bulb goes off and Shaq finally gets it. Beautiful to see :)
When David Gilmour plays those guitar solos....time portals to another dimension open
David Gilmour’s guitar solo in “Comfortably Numb,” is legendary.
That solo is to die for...god
God of gods
This is a Fact.
So much feeling for so few notes played.
It's like a whole universe of emotion in one solo. I've heard it a thousand times and it still flows right through me every time.
"In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band.
Of course, there could be various interpretations of this. In a metaphorical sense, it could mean that the protagonist has been given a ‘fix’ in order that he can adequately address his life, society and relationships, which have become nothing more than a show to him. Society doesn’t care about the effects of drugs, just so long as they serve their purpose.
The main theme is the distance between our minds and the perception of reality because of artificial relief. In other words, we may not suffer, but that does not make us alive; escaping from life and its problems actually deprives us of something. This is the meaning of the song: life is out there; I prefer to face it and let it hurt me, than lose all sense of feeling.
Depression, in Comfortably Numb, is just a grey waiting room, where everything is reminiscent of death. The absence of pain is not happiness. The doctor in the lyrics takes away the pain to get the show going, but it doesn’t work. It only increases the distance, and even the voice on the record sounds more distant.
Our society is based on productivity and success, so reducing our pain or level of humanity to achieve positive results is seen as beneficial. But the risk is that we forget that the world of feelings, pain, searching, time for ourselves - even fatigue - represents our whole lives. And it keeps us in touch with reality."
Wow, pretty much spot on!!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
"I cant say the word ('comfortably')"
10 seconds later: "I'm COMFORTABLE in my flaws, bro"
Good catch
Demond Perry 11:26 says “comfortably numb” with no issue whatsoever 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's why I love this dude!!!
i've just looked for this comment
Yep, I can pronounce most words, but once I start overthinking it I'll fuck it up 🤣
Pink Floyd.... Wish You Were Here
You'll love it!!
Yes. I agree. Their best song
Trevor Pardy this man aint lying coach
Trevor Pardy my favorite Pink Floyd song 🙌🏼
Gotta be my favorite song too.
Yesssss
Shaq: Where we going?
Me: On a trip my friend.
Yes but listening all the album
Lol. Put your seatbelts on for sure.
Please let this be a normal field trip!
@@Ryan-mw9pm With the Wall?! No way!
@@privatetrash2810 hahahah these two comments got me
It's very pleasant to see a person who is a fan of a type of music which is quite different than the Pink Floyd sound and still has the tolerance and humility to listen to a song, film a reaction and even try to understand the meaning of the song (by the way, you were very close about its meaning). Congratulations brother. You are an example to the world.
Shaq - my favorite part of your reaction is that you didn't pause during David Gilmours guitar solo & you were totally immersed in it. You immediately recognized the greatness of what you were hearing & gave it respect. Thank you Shaq for your willingness to be open. You're VERY in tune to music & that's what makes you so fun to watch.
"Wish you were here" - Pink Floyd
No, that’s the name to a song. Not much of a quote.
Not the album that comfortably numb is in either soooo idk why your bringing this up
@@kman0550 you're right, I needed to be more clear. Thank you for setting me straight.
@@kman0550 He was just mention a song man. Dont correct someone if you're arrogant to what they meant in the first place.
Caden Hinshaw
Idk if you know what the word arrogant means
@@kman0550 Oh my bad. I meant ignorant. I meant like you were unaware of what he was trying to say.
Pink Floyd TIME is a great one coach
Kyle Grinolds this is a must
Seconded. Those lyrics will make you rethink your life. Thats tough
Time is a song that makes you feel a certain kind of way
@@knate_b spot on. the lyrics blow me away every time i hear them, some of the cleverest ever written.
Should do reaction to live version from the P.U.L.S.E tour ua-cam.com/video/F_VjVqe3KJ0/v-deo.html
“Sounds like angels” is my favorite part of this video
Welcome to the club.
That song will hit you so hard one day.
Maybe you’ll be an old man, and you’ll hear this song, and it will remind you of when you were young and on UA-cam with lots of followers, having a blast and you had life by the balls.
You’ll remember and see how sweet and beautiful life is.
And that second solo will move you to tears.
Yup. I came back from Iraq to find out my mom was dying. Five years later I’m driving and this song comes on. I had lost it and had to pull over.
Time, Money, Welcome To The Machine, Have A Cigar. All great Pink Floyd songs
JM S definitely what he said
Learning to fly?
I dislike Money... but the others mentioned are superb
"It sounds like angels". There we have Pink Floyd
I lol'd! *UGH*
Have a bong ready, take a hit, and put the film on a large screen TV in a dark room. And watch it uninterrupted. That’s the way I saw it on a 70 mm screen when it first came out at the Zigfield theater. You will never forget it.
Me too! Ziegfield Theatre 54th & 7th NYC - killer
It’s amazing how SRV’s guitar is so fast and bluesy and David Gilmore’s is so slow and bluesy. They both sound absolutely perfect!
Pink Floyd - Hey You !!
Zakaria Kabbari my favorite from them aside from Echoes
Yes!!!!
Bobaflex cover it and I think it's better than the original
Their best song no one considers their favorite
The neighbors all laughed at me one night as I screamed the last verse all drunk one night with the window open
Pink Floyd - Hey You (another great hit from them)
Yes!!!!! Please do this one! That solo is like a Classical Piece!
This is my favorite...🔺🔺🔺
Angel One you ain’t lying 👍🏻
Need to watch 'The Wall' movie by Pink Floyd - see the whole epic in its entirety w/ all these songs
MUST watch The Wall (the movie) for context of the whole album its essential. not to mention a fantastic piece of cinema
"Don't scare me like that... I'm here by myself, my God" LOL!!!!!!!!! I had to pause to laugh that out
Me tooooo!!!! Haha
“Why is he talkin like that? He’s scary me.” LOL You stepped into the middle of a story. Listen to the whole album from beginning to end. It’s amazing. When I was a teenager and in a very dark (suicidal) place, I listened to The Wall everyday for months. It got me through. I’m now 47 and love and appreciate life so much. It’s hard, fuck yah it is, but every pain and hardship contains love and beauty. The Wall is a masterpiece, and it’s awesome to see people still discovering it!
Why just listen to it when he could watch the movie lol
Still holds its price aswell
truthnfreedomseeker totally get what ur saying
I remember watching the Wall tripping face the first time I saw it. 5 of us in DJ Mike's dorm room at Delhi. We were all stuck!
truthnfreedomseeker
Ok but now i may need the bong
"Sound like angels" best possible description.
Yes, the man GETS it! That IS Pink Floyd! 🌷
Yeah that was priceless
6:10 that’s it bruh u don’t need drug’s to enjoy pink Floyd u need pink Floyd to enjoy drugs
Grimm_ Narko_47 eh
True shit
I'm ambidextrous ... I can go either way ... PS This guy doesn't SHUT UP grunts, moans, screams, groans, repeats the lyrics, I couldn't count the interruptions so I bailed before the end ...
Tell that to Syd...
Very well said
The first time I felt buzzed up in my life, I was listening to this song between two air suspension tower speakers, and I was stone cold sober but I was buzzed out of my brain just hearing this song! It literally altered my state!
Pink Floyd - Money
Thank you, Shaq!!
sure you would like that one shaq !
This!
thats literally known as the worst song on the whole album
Money would be an excellent choice. It is a catchy tune.
Yeah Money would be cool to see his thoughts on for sure!
you don't pause david Gilmore's solo brother ! never !!!!
TRUTH!!
seriously one of the best songs ever written, by the greatest band of them all. You are fortunate to have discovered it.
"Sounds like angels..." Exactly.
"I heard if you have 6 minutes and 53 seconds to live this is what you're going to spend it doing..." Best line I've ever heard. Welcome to Pink Floyd, my friend. You'll never be the same again.
"what is the concept behind this song...is it related to drugs?"
More than you know, Shaq, more than you know
I took acid one night and listened to Pink Floyd for 4 hours straight lol. It just made so much sense and sounded so good in the moment, sounds awesome sober too of course!
Pete G actually this song has nothing to do with drugs it’s about how he had fevers as a child and how when he gets them as an adult it’s a different feeling not about drugs at all(still fun to get high too)
Pete G lol! I was thinking can u imagine if he heard it on acid or shrooms 😂
Yes. It's about strong praying killers.
@@noahdietter4592 it's about heroin.
As a guitarist, I tend to wait for the reaction to Gilmoure play the greatest guitar solo ever created. Certain songs and moments within songs give me chills each and every time I listen, and this solo is at the pinnacle of all of them. Always enjoy seeing others share in that moment.
“Sounds like angels”
He gets it.
I smiled so Big when he said that!!
I'm going July 20th to see Roger Waters. I can't wait!!
Never, EVER pause during a Gilmour solo.
EVER
EVER!
EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!!
It is a crime
He was asked to turn it up!!
You need more Pink Floyd in your life!! Who else agrees? Let me get some likes on this!!!!!!
That's my shit!
I agree
No one else has had a album stay in the top 200 for over 10 years.i been listening to these guys since 1970.
Word. Pink Floyd forever, my guys!!!
I agree. I need more 🧡
You’re a very intelligent listener, man…I’ve watched you for three years now. Love the content.
When l was a child l caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
I think most everyone at some time in their lives mourns the joy and simplicity of their childhood mind and longs to return to it. Its my belief that the younger you are, the clearer your memory is of the place of your origin which imho is heaven. That's the feeling you have as a small child. This verse of the song put that into words for me and is in my mind a great explanation of the peace I felt as a child. Many people, unfortunately turn to drugs to achieve a false sense of this peace that eventually brings about their ruin.
Yoo this explanation is on point, I've never looked at it like that.🤯
And then you listen to "Time".... which should be his next journey..
No your brain just hasn't developed in a way in which it can understand the levels of pain in the world. At a young age you can still easily understand basic emotional pain, like feeling sad about having your toys taken away or whatever. But your beain isn't likely developed to a point where you can understand issues like climate change, or the overall gravity of the pain that an issue like climate change causes.
David Gilmore....one of the most underrated guitarists ever. The closing solo of this song is legendary. Pure magic......
beautiful init
Don't think anybody who appreciates guitar playing underrates David Gilmour.
Not underrated at all , one of the GREATESTS
Underrated? I don't think so, Gilmour was on 14th best guitarist all the time by Rolling Stone magazine
@@sianidacoffeee Realy who gives a fuck about the Rolling stone magazine? Gilmoure was the main influence for most guitarists from the late 70's and after. period. :)
Pink Floyd- Wish you were here. Beautiful song I want played at my funeral.
The founding lead singer went crazy! They made some songs for him this one and shine on you crazy diamond, and most of the dark side of the moon
You need to listen to Dark Side of the moon and remember that sound was 50 years ago nearly they were way ahead of their time with their sound it was very dynamic..
You don't LISTEN to Pink Floyd, you EXPERIENCE it, the whole album at once in peace, comfort, and silence. Then you emerge from your coma deeply affected by your trip.
Alan Reams
Exactly. Bring the bong 😀😀😀😀and enjoy the ride
💯💯💯
Mushrooms and pink Floyd 🍄🍄
Daniel Mcguinness
Never did mushrooms. A friend said acid and Pink Floyd..... im just an old pot smoker
AGREED
1) dogs
2) hey you
3) shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-6
4)time
5) great gig in the sky
Really, any song from the following albums:
Dark side of the moon
Wish you were here
Animals
The wall
The final cut
..........Delicate Sounds of Thunder......... Division Bell........
@@rck228 those are meh. A few good songs on each, but no cohesion...... the best PF is both waters and gilmour..... in fact, I would put atom heart mother, meddle, and obscured by clouds before anything post waters.
I’d love to see your reaction to the 1994 live Pulse version of the ending solo! The greatest solo of ALL TIME!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your reviews. You are playing some awesome new music for you. That I have been enjoying for 50 years. Doing a great job. Keep it up.
Pink Floyd Time, lyrics will change your life.
hell yeah! love that song!
Great Gig in the sky!!!
MY GOD, You might have to leave the room. For real!
No kidding! I fell asleep to Pink Floyd on all of my deployments. Great Gig in the Sky is one of my absolute favorite songs.
Do the live version ..bro ! You lll get even higher..the solo ie epicccc!!
I came here to post the same thing. This NEEDS to be the next pink floyd reaction!
I would pay to see his reaction to great gig in the sky.
Do the pulse live version of Comfortably Numb. Then do Astronomy Domine. After that maybe Blue oyster Cult' s song " Don't fear the Reaper" then Ted Nugent "Stranglehold "
As soon as David Gilmour comes in with 'there is no pain, you are receding' I go to another level, and it's been that way since I first heard this song when it came out on the album The Wall in 1979. Which we listened to all day every day for years. I wasssss 10.. I LOVE your react to this, this song is on another plane of existence ❤️😍😂👆❤️
This song is a mix of losing Syd Barrett and Roger Waters losing his own sanity
One doesn’t simply listen to Pink Floyd. One experiences it
One doesn't simply experience Pink Floyd they feel it with every fiber of there soul and being
I cry every time
Pink Floyd.Time. Its a true story.
Yes 🔥
Shaq man. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, but this one touched me. This was my dads favorite song, may god rest him. I chose to play this at his funeral and the rest of my family was super pissed 😂 but I’ve never felt such strong emotions as when that 2nd guitar solo came in. Not a dry eye in the room. You being so open and accepting of something a little different is so awe inspiring. I appreciate you for such an honest and transparent review, I envy those who hear this for the first time. Bless you my dude 🤘
I appreciate your standing for that kind of music, special for your age. You are serious in music and it fits, so go on! Great Job!
When you see someone on the street who is 65 years old , remember they were15 when this album came out and probably remember every word, every note and looked a lot like you when they first heard it. Old people are cool!
david vornsand my dad! Rest his soul 😢 in June it will be 2 years since he passed at the age of 69. He put my sister and I onto Pink Floyd when we were young n wished he could’ve taken us to a show, just once, but of course that wasn’t possible. He said the laser shows were out of this world. I wish I could experience the life of a teenager in the 60s.
Indeed
Grandma was rocking baby....in bell bottoms with flowers in my hair....and ozzy was snorting ants..
Lmao
Old people who love Floyd are so cool.
Well.. I'm 58, but know just about every word of every Pink Floyd song 🤗
"The child is grown, the dream is gone." Yup. I think this happens to most people when the reality of life sets in after they live long enough. Or perhaps those of us with depression just recognize and vocalize it more.
Damien Holland Right there with ya, bud.
64 and I feel exactly like that!!
Yup. And that part that says we all have become comfortably numb - we just accept that we have not become that astronaut or movie star or cured cancer etc... whatever (as a kid) we wanted to be. It's gone.
Depression is usually a reaction to a reaction. There is something you know is wrong that you aren't saying. Or there is something you are doing that you know is wrong but you have rationalized it. (I'm not hurting anyone) or (it's not illegal) or (what I do in private is no one's business) but your subconscious knows the truth. Usually people have a bad relationship with their parents and don't want to sit down and talk about it. Something like that. It'll help if you do though. I know from personal experience. Had a long talk with them about everything that bothers me, the elephant in the room. I'm tired of wasting energy on shame. Tired of being sarcastic and bitter. Told my bosses I hate the job and told them what about that is their fault. Told my sister I don't even know her. Stopped my bad habits. Have to tell you, it's not quite super powers, but I can sleep at night now at least. I don't have awkward silences in conversation anymore. I don't give a single fuck what people think of me. I know right from wrong. I held onto my anger for almost 25 years. Damn near ate me alive. Better late than never, friend. After years of assuming it was too expensive, I found out through my insurance seeing a psychologist was like 30 bucks. Btw if you stay depressed eventually your brain function starts to decline significantly. I was getting dull, forgetful, unable to multitask, focus... This sounding familiar? Turns out dullard is a medical term. Good luck and all for help.
If missing past times is depressing then I guess I am
I've been watching through these all morning! Another great one is Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The lyrics are about what he felt like as a child when he was sick with a fever. As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality.
This whole song is actually based on a true story from when Roger got sick (from hepatitis which was undiagnosed prior to the concert) before his show in Philadelphia in 1977. The Doctor injected him with some form of tranquilizer to enable him to perform the show. These tranquilizers made him feel comfortably numb..
GREAT GIG IN THE SKY!!!.... your SOUL will be MOVED... Even Ja Rule will never be the same after...
Spencer Hofstee That’s the one I suggested too, amazing song.
Indeed. And the STUDIO VERSION off of their iconic (and best) album, Dark Side of the Moon. Featured vocalist is Clare Torry.
Personally, I see that as the ending to Time, you need to listen to them back to back.
Great song, please react to it!
He might die listening to it haha
Time by pink floyd would knock your headphones off in 15 seconds coach. Rock on professor
well, maybe after the intro, lol
@@ryanm5578dude, shh.. don't tell him about the intro bro... lol
I think those clocks pull it all together man.
Time- total face melter!
This jam was out when I was in my mid-teens, and though it has a mind altering effect in and of itself,it definitely helps to have some...
help,if you want to really drift away.
Actually feeling that drift ,
hearing it now.😑💭🧠👈👀
I think it is important for first time listeners to hear the studio version first. As I did when this album first came out. After hearing it on the radio, I made a bee line to Tower Records. Could not get enough of it. Then you listen live. Was lucky enough to see them live in Oakland in 87 and in Sacramento in 88. Most memorable concerts ever.
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Pink Floyd - Hey You
Pink Floyd - Welcome To The Machine
Yes! Welcome to the Machine for sure
I feel in love with Pink Floyd as a kid after the solos on Hey You
For a great mind trip, listen to MOTHER
This song is about sid barret, original front man. Got f up on drugs
Hey you is my all time favorite
You are now REQUIRED to do Great Gig In the Sky from the album Dark Side of the Moon. It is a rapturous experience.
This right here. I wanna see Shaq cry on camera.
Oh their songs are beautiful, i have reacted to so many of their songs🤗
@@keziah2559 pretty cool seeing you here in the comments 😊👍
@@cubbiedan21 thank you😊 good to see you too🙂
I used to fall asleep listening to Dark side of the moon...
You need to see the live version. Totally Blows you away
Shaq!!! Lost you for a while there.....so happy to see you discovering this band - really in a class of their own-the highest imo .
The second solo is debated as one of the greatest guitar solos in the world
Debated?
Only Hazardous i like the solo in hail to the king is better but everyone got different taste, and i agree that it is one of the best solos ever just behind hail to the king lol
J Florez. Unfortunately yes. It’s debated with the solo to Master of Puppets. They shouldn’t even be compared since they’re two totally different genres
Daniel Berge Espe I really don’t see that, but like you said, to each their own
Only Hazardous indeed, i would also say that the solo in wind of change is hauntingly beautiful, but there are so many good guitar solos that there is hard to pick one lol. im always changing which solo i like best by te song i heard more recently so im kind of a transsolo lmao so you are probably right 👍
The Great Gig in the Sky.
Prepare yourself.
This needs to be listened to!! Absolutely epic!!
It'll blow your mind...no other song like it was ever made...
Absolutely the finest music:)
Yes dude... 1000X
Yeah man my favorite too!!! 😎
I got this by recommendention of youtube even after 1 year dang bro i checked out your videos you just get deep into all the genre bro damn that thing i liked th most.
U my man bro! Luv ur vibe.... keep live’n bro
"When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and it was gone; I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb." Yeah, those are some bomb lyrics. There is no way to hear this song too many times.
the person is having a bad drug trip and needs to be stabilized so he can get on stage to play.... the 2 voices in the song are 1-the person that's trying to stabilize the guy on the bad trip (can you hear me? is there anybody home?" 2-second voice (there is no pain) with the symphonic background is all taking place inside of the head of the man who is on the trip.
@ivantorres97 I thought it was Scarlet Fever
The lyrics were inspired by Roger Waters experience of being injected with tranquilizers for stomach cramps before a show in Philadelphia on the 1977 In The Flesh Tour
It makes me happier that hell to know you finally,experience the real greatness in the 70's music...god bless...it's never too late
Saw Pink Floyd in concert 2 times once in the 80,s and then in the 90’s. Best concerts EVER hands down.
I don't listen just to this song but the entire album. No other way to listen to Pink Floyd.
Dead right
That's the shame for music these days. There is rarely a concert or band that you listen to for the experience. Tool and NiN are the only ones that can pull it off.
You wanna " GET WOKE" there it is!
Bingo. And you should watch the movie as well, it fills in some of the gaps that may be hard to understand just from listening to the album.
@@rkdrama2443 Em does alright.
React to "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd !!!
Yea do wish you were here
I love that song, but that's a tough one for me to get through, even if you don't know the story it pulls the heartstrings anyway. And I'm not usually the type of guy to cry, but Pink Floyd can pull it off even knowing that it's coming
This song is especially sad, because Roger Waters wrote it after Syd Barrett's mental breakdown. Syd was checked into a mental institution not too long after Dark Side of the Moon was a success.
My favorite song by them
@@volatilemolotov2298 There are documantaries (at least 2) on the making of Wish You Were Here, and the story behind it justifies all that Roger did to write it. There are layers on layers crafted into that song which is what makes it so fascinating.
It's so cool that you're so open-minded you seem like you have a great personality stay the way you are don't change
Thank you for making my quarantine enjoyable. One of the best songs of all time. The song is about having the flu as a child and how it feels to him.
The live version, Comfortably Numb at the Pulse, is the best!
Absolutely this!
Pulse is the Best live album in the world! Ever!
Yes Live Version!!
Indeed indeed he should do this one ☝️#Coach
Solo performed live in Venice is brutal too.
Comfortably numb is a pivotal part of the story told in the album The Wall. The whole story adds to whats happening here.
I am comfortable with my flaws. That touched me man. Thanks for posting great videos.
Pink Floyd is......... an Experience!!! you cant describe it.... its more than a feeling....it spiritual!!
Pink Floyd albums are meant to be consumed as a whole. Each song is a single part of a story. Comfortably Numb is in the middle of the story. When he is drugged out and still forced to perform on stage.
And let me add my kudo's to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying rock.
Specifically, his drug trip that reminded him of being a child with a terrible fever, the medications they gave him made him feel floaty and numb.
Joe Markes I agree
Bradly Daniels It’s not just the Doctors drugs. It’s his whole life at that moment. He is numb to the world everything in his world is distant and fading. Then add all the drugs his and the doctors.
The guitar solo is one of the most beautiful ever played.
Pink Floyd - great gig in the sky. For a bad ass vocal solo.
Or wish you were
this is pure emotion
wish you were here wat a song 👌❤
I loved how you felt that solo. This is the schiznit! Lol. My all time favorite band. If you are ever in LA go to the lazerium in Griffith park. They used to feature Floyd and it was amazing to virtually go to space with this music.
I love this brother!!! You showed good perception to pick up the lyrics when you didnt even know of the Movie or Album. Great review Shaq.
Dude watch the movie "The Wall" by Pink Floyd it will blow your mind for real.
YES
"The Wall"by Pink Floyd is a collection of music and video that tells a story.
It's Brilliant. A bit of a trip,but when you watch it(I've watched it soo many times)you get a deeper understanding of what the objects and lyrics represent.
I have read it's based on the story of Roger Waters life.
I loved your reaction to this amazingly unique song.
I love the shit outta this song.My favorite Floyd song.
David Gilmore is the master of the Strat.🎸
you got to watch this movie, it will explain everything
and you will feel depressed for weeks
YESSSSS dude, one of my all time favorite movies
Few people in this world could make a guitar sing like Dave Gilmour.
Shaq I fkin love yiu dude listen to the song and the guitar solos again appreciate 🙏
