You don’t need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs.
Pink Floyd IS a drug, and I am a happy addict.
Funny, I was JUST about to comment I need to pause and roll a doobie, CANNOT listen to Floyd with a doob, Floyd just kicks that high up even more, they high DOESN'T kick up Floyd, stoned, straight, Floyd is GREAT! lol
You don´t need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, they are the drug !
@@jamesbondbond8388 Agreed that's what i meant! Hard to enjoy a tab without listening to my favorite Floyd album (mine is animals) all a joke in good fun. No one needs drugs, but they are pretty grand at times lol. Happy New Years eve you beautiful people!
@@brucenadeau5920
That's where you made your first mistake. You never pause to roll a doobie, you roll the doobie before you start. You cue your dose of Floyd, you then roll your doobie, then you light it, then you hit play. Cheers!
This song can be played 10 million times in a row and ill have goosebumps the whole fucking time
Same here, though I usually lean more towards 'Time' myself.
@@TheDeadAlewives Between these two
this song is more then music❤❤❤❤
You mean Chicken Skin
Instablaster.
Gilmour's guitar playing is like a journey to heaven that you don't want to end,
Heard him called God's guitarist many years ago.
@@emjem99 Kinda funny nickname for someone who's an atheist. But nothing new, people keep attributing the extraordinary skills and talents combined with years of practice to their favorite imaginary friend. To me it's just as simple as, most guitar players play their instrument, Gilmour and a select few makes that same instrument sing!
@@eddiewinehosen6665 You're one of those "well actually" people aren't you
Hey, I was just offering some additional info about the musician which adds to the weight of anecdotes about his awesome talent. It was a label assigned TO him, not BY him.
I am also an atheist.
I was lucky enough to see the a momentary lapse of reason tour in 88'. It brought myself and those in my group to years. And that was without Roger waters.
I see a lot of pink Floyd influence in Tool. Listen to wings for Marie and 10000 days (wings part 2). It's very reminiscent of the dark side album.
The 9 minute solo from the Pulse version melts my face like the Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Beat me to it. The best version by far, and live!
In personally enjoy the solo version on Delicate Sound of Thunder more
So beautiful it makes me cry!
The whole Pulse CD is perfection!!!

As I saw someone state a few days back - 'Dave Gilmour - what a guitar wants for Christmas'.
Lucky guitar 🎸🤪
That’s like Radiohead, the reason Chuck Norris doesn’t do music..
That second part of the solo is in my humble opinion , one of Mankind's greatest achievements ; matter of fact ... if someday aliens decided to talk to us , it would probably be because they listened to that solo .
I feel like the album solo pales in comparison to the Pulse version.
@@CristiNeagu searched for this comment, the second guitar solo on the pulse version is the greatest solo ever played and I prefer that version over the album version by miles (which is rare for me that I prefer a live performance over studio)
Lmao I LOVED the fact that after you pressed play you closed your eyes and took a DEEP relaxing cleansing breath in preparation for hearing a Pink Floyd song. Well done, sir, well done.
You HAVE to mention Michael Kamen when you talk about Comfortably Numb. His orchestra arrangement makes the song (and the album, for that matter). For all you younger folk who may not know his work, look him up; he's worked on dozens of film scores, and worked with many rock bands. He was brilliant.
Absolutely he was an amazing composer. To me the arrangements in the trial is outstanding. He also was an amazing piano player and played on a lot tracks for Rogers solo projects.. Roger was really upset when he passed away I was working for him at the time. It's great to see someone bring him up. He's kind of the unsung hero of the group but he may have preferred that way. 🎼🎹🎷🥁🎻🎺🥁🎵
@@anthonymichel4660 yes loved his work and always appreciated how he complimented Pink Floyd's musical ideas. If I recall correctly Alan Parker made very nice complements on how he reworked and arranged the film score for the wall. If it wasn't for Michael Kamen dedication and hard work I dont think the wall movie would have ever been made.
@@thomaz1963 I agree the work on The Wall is fantastic especially The Trial. I believe The London Philharmonic orchestra did the performance and man what a work of art. Didn't Alan Parker do the vocals on Have a cigar?
@@anthonymichel4660 Roy Harper on have a cigar vocals
This song epitomizes to me why David Gilmour is one of the Top 5 best guitarists of all time. He wasn't a fretboard ripper, he was a master of using the guitar as a voice. The emotional range David could generate out of his guitar was truly remarkable. His guitar solo on Echoes around the 7:22 mark is unlike anything I've ever heard - truly amazing.
This is the album that got me into Pink Floyd, when I was a kid... I listened to my mother’s LP so much, she still can’t listen to it, today (I never tired of it) ... my uncle eventually took pity on her and gave me his LP’s of Animals and The Final Cut, for which both she and I were *very* grateful!
I was lucky enough to see them live, back in ‘94... to this day, still one of the most incredible and memorable moments of my life!
was that at pulse? in which case my brain will go 'pop'--
@DJAnarkros DJ & TH-camr No, I saw them at Parken in Copenhagen... no Brain Damage for you (see what I did there?)! 😊
Floyd’s music has so many layers of tone and flavor. Each song is like a 10 course meal. And Gilmours guitar voicings is like having one more singer in the band. Brilliant
WARNING do not watch The Wall on mute whilst listening to Lateralus on hallucinogens.
depends on the hallucinogen....just sayin'
Mushrooms are nerver mean
@@christopherblowers443 they definitely can be lol
Mushrooms can be very mean if you are not welling to accept what they are trying to tell you
🤣 Best comment
The solos make my eyes damp and at 53yrs old “Time” leaves me in tears.
As a bass trombonist, I really appreciate brass pads as being "a warm hug". I like hugs after I unleash chaos.
It's a nice change from Hollywood, where trombones have become the sound of impending doom.
I LOVE this song. It's grown to be my favorite Pink Floyd song over the years, as well as one of my favorites period. I'm 71 and still enjoy the music from my younger days, as well as some of the newer stuff.
Saw Floyd in Munich in 89, 4 maybe 5 hits of primo acid.... My face STAYED melted for about a week!
LOLOLOL
I don't drop acid without listening to Pink Floyd
Been a diehard fan of this band since the late 70's, and to this day no other band can still manage to pull me in like they do and elicit strong emotion and a vivid visualization of their lyrics. Additionally when I saw them in concert and they played this song it literally changed my life and rewired my brain, I was never the same. May sound ridiculous or overblown but the perfect combination of that song, in that moment of my life, in that state of altered mind...I have happily never recovered, nor do I ever want to.
I live half way around the world and I'm probably less than half your age but I can't help but feel like I'd love to sit down, have a drink with you, just vibe to the music and just go where the conversation takes us. You have amazing charisma and the genuine love for music shines through.
Huge fan of the idea of this series! Must admit as well, never even noticed the horns before until you pointed it out!
Same for me!
My first viewing on this channel. I really like the way the 'De-composer' breaks it all down. Very different from all the other "reactors" on TH-cam. New subscriber here!
Me either ! This is why I love these videos. Now it’s a whole new song
For me, the complete harmony of mood, vocals, lyrics, and instrumentation make this a perfect song. Everything transitions together, from crippling pain to soaring euphoria to gritty mania.
For me it gained a metric tonne of significance during my dad's final illness. The tone of voice where 'is anybody in there' reminded me of the staff handling his drugs.
Okay...haven’t yet watched this one, Geebz, but I’ve listened to this song regularly since ‘79. This is as perfect a rock tune as you’ll find. Incredible lyrics, changes, magnificent recording, stellar soloing, and really amazing individual performances for all involved. As sonically pleasing as anything I’ve ever heard. Okay, now I’m gonna hear what you have to say😂
Thanks for hitting this one, man!
One of my favorite things about this song is how when it's coming from the perspective of the others in the room, the music is tense and when it switches over to Pink's perspective the music is floaty. And then you have that 2nd solo... *chef's kiss*
You have to check out one of the live versions of this song...Pulse is highly regarded among others.
Best guitar solo in the history of music. Such a masterpiece. Great reaction.
The end solo gives me chills
Never underestimate a well-utilized Strat bridge pickup, or what a ram's head can do with its signal.
Search Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb [Pulse Live] , to hear this solo being taken to stratosphere.
@@babaroga73 Agree 100%. The live version from Pulse was out of this world.
@@babaroga73 I can't believe I'm sayin this but Thomas's version is embedded in my brain now and nothing sounds better than that lol
Frisson, also known as aesthetic chills or musical chills, is a psychophysiological response to rewarding auditory and/or visual stimuli that often induces a pleasurable or otherwise positively-valenced affective state and transient paresthesia, sometimes along with piloerection and mydriasis.
ASMR?
If church made me feel this way...I would go
this.
i'd love this for Shine on You Crazy Diamond :)
Hell yeah...
Id commit to an 1 or 1.5 hr. Video on its entirety
The arrangement was done by maestro Michael Kamen which he doesn’t get recognized a lot for his contribution into this gem. RIP mr. kamen
I've actually been on a journey myself of isolating myself to only listening to the full album straight through for the last two weeks. Ingested as it was intended, it might be the best album. Specifically, it was prescient in its approach to lyricism and album dynamics. I'm glad you tackled this, and please continue providing your insights!
but Animals tho
The Wall was practically a nightly listen for me all through high school, which was over 30 years ago. Hasn’t been in my rotation much in the past decade or so, but holy crap did this ever bring back that magic feeling. Thanks, man - that was spot on. Face properly melted.
what a incredible song and what a increidble band. My parents (now 50 year both) they raised me with this songs around home when i was born in 1999 until now . Today i'm 22 years old and this band with this songs make me feel in home when im not there and make mi feel conected with my parents even when they are not on this earthly plane. Thanks Pink Floyd and Thanks Mom and dad.
From Argentina.
You know, speaking of "Same as it ever was", I think "Once in a Lifetime" is actually a good candidate for a video like this.
Good call!
David Gilmour can get more out of one note than just about any other guitar player ever ...
I'd love to see you react and analyze the "Live at Pompeii" version of Echoes (the original from 1972).
Dude...nice...fav part of fav movie of all time...
No don't bother, it's lame compared to the original. I don't understand why people keep suggesting this track over the original. the studio version has SO MUCH MORE to offer. AND it's the complete song whereas 'live at Pompeii' is only half the track and even less at that!!! Certainly, do a reaction to the studio version, but don't waste your time with the half baked Pompeii version where you have a diminished selection of David Gilmore's brilliance, a partial recording of Rick Wright's performance, and a substandard recording of Nick's and Roger's efforts to help lift the song to brilliance. Need I say more to dissuade you from the folly of listening to the sub quality of the video version???
Pompeii has more energy.
There’s a part 2 that completes the song, sadly no reaction channel have figured it out.
I blame the uploader HDPinkFloyd for not putting Part 1 I the title.
Better yet, take the Echoes from the Live at Gdansk performance with Gilmour & Wright. Now that's sheer brilliance at play there!
The composition is a masterpiece! David's ability with his guitar is out of this world!!
I have never listened to this without getting chills from the ending, definitely a song that reaches in and grabs you
to me, melt your face is an understatement with this song. my entire life i have considered it a total zone out until the song ends and then "WTF JUST HAPPENED!?!"
Pink Floyd is so epic & classic. They truly have a unique sound and compositional depth.
NO ONE and I mean NO one can do a Gilmour solo like Dave does his solo's, you just NEED that passion and his passion on his own solo's..... AMAZING! The closing solo is just priceless!
Please more pink floyd
DOGS, ANIMALS next would be sweet
money
Dogs would be amazing!
Def a landmark album
Yes! Dogs (again!) 🤘🏻
Animals is such an under rated album
Pink Floyd - High Hopes makes my face melt
The live pulse version is out of this world, the best guitar solo ever. Talk about your face melting, I can remember watching the wall after a night out and in my dream that night I was thirsty and came upon a farm where they had a water hose and started drinking from it, but it had acid in it and my face started to melt.
What can you say about this song, it's perfect and never ages. The guitar solo gives me goosebumps and a lump in my throat at the same time
Thank you for opening up my ears to all what I did not realize I was hearing before. Yours is quite an education and beyond doubt helps in appreciation. I am going to be donning my headphones tonight to celebrate the new year with something I just learnt - thanks to you!!
The live in Pompeii (2016) version of this song is absolutely amazing. David's vocal tone in that version has just the right amount of gravelines and emotion to make you feel high! And the tone of his guitar there will melt in your ears just like a soft marshmallow would melt in your mouth!
One of my all time favorites. Makes me want to cry it’s so good. Thanks for helping us enjoy it even more. 😎
The first concert my dad took me to was Roger Waters In The Flesh tour and the finale was this song. Doyle Bramhall and Snowy White did an incredible job filling some huge shoes.
FIRST! Always love the reactions(and now the "melt you face" segment)! Once again I highly recommend Gojira:
Flying Whales
Toxic Garbage Island (Live at Vieilles Charrues Festival)
The Art of Dying
Remembrance
The Heaviest Matter of the Universe
Clone
I put up a link to The Art of Dying 👍🏻 that timing... 🤯
The Heaviest Matter of the Universe
This song was the anthem of my high school years. I didn't just graduate, I survived.
Great new series! and good song to kick it off with too. As a teen I played this album to death and it's still my favorite Pink Floyd album. That second guitar solo is the true face-melting moment for me, it just pulls you in and tightly holds you there.
Well, I don't know about starting the series with a song you cannot top later...
one of the best songs from one of the best albums of all time
Thanks for having a look at this song, its one of my favourite songs of all time from one of my favourite bands of all time! (hence the profile picture lol) I'd love to hear you check out Opeth too if you get the chance: Blackwater park, Deliverance, The Master's apprentices, Harlequin forest, Ghosts of perdition...they are all great and there are many more too! Keep it up man :)
You're in luck, because he just did Harlequin Forest and will be following up with more I'm sure.
Pink Floyd - The Wall concert live ! Feb 1980 Los Angeles Sports Arena ....... changed my life!!!!!
It reminds me of a girl i always wanted but never had.
Knew her since high school, we were listening rock ballads out in the open air, night time, small companies of ppl
She was with another guy
15 years fast forward and i met her on the road, we shared a coffee, she was just back from Italy, i didn't ask for her phone, i was in some kind of a relationship.
Couple of years later i was walking down the road, and she was coming my way with her friends, she smiled, runned towards me and jumped in my arms.... I was married...
This song is so much reminiscing of her. mellow, beautiful, and gives you the feeling i am in the right place...
10 more years have passed since then. Hope she is doing well, going out to celebrate new year with friends. I would much rather prefer celebrate it with her instead, listening to this very song, silent out in the open air in the middle of the city! Happy new year ppl!
Thanks for the song and the memories mr Decomposer!
you're just two lost souls .......... you will connect in another life
The one that got way, I have a couple of those
The outro solo, I could listen to that on repeat over and over.
I do that very often.. I listen to the song, but the ending solo I repeat at least 10 times. so good!
The tension and release that the strings and horns create is so subtle, yet powerful. As you said, it's all about the arrangement of the song.
The ostinato that you mentioned with the cellos always felt to me like someone falling into a hole which goes so beautifully with the line "there is no pain you are receding". I just never fully realized it before. Thank you for helping me consciously understand what my subconscious always knew about this magnificent arrangement.
Always goosebumps. Sometimes a tear in my eye. ❤️
I quickly rolled my eyes at most of these channels reacting to music, particularly music that's been pretty much ubiquitous since they came out... Sure buddy you've(not you) never heard stairway to heaven... But you have done a great job of illustrating the music theories behind the music. Not just reacting but elucidating the music.
I'll toss one at you: Mastodon - The Last Baron
The czar
The guitar tone on his solo for "Mother" gives me goosebumps as well...
Agreed
This song is so euphoric. Brilliance! ❤
Two things that still mesmerizes me about this song is how the brass section pushes the listener up/forward and how the closing solo is full of " contained rage " ( that's how I describe it ) is really something amazing.
I was lucky enough to see them perform The Wall many years ago, when it was first released. Comfortably Numb has been my favourite tune ever since. I play it at least once every week. After listening to your comments about the arrangement, I am enjoying it even more. Thank you
the simple bass line and bass drum in sync melts my face, before the guitar solo, of course.
In 1979 I was 14 years old and I remember listening to Roger Waters on the "King Biscuit Flower" show. They played each track then Roger would talk about the song. I recorded it from the radio broadcast and still have it today. "The Wall" spoke to me like no other album before or since. Thanks I enjoyed your take on this song.
That's the " King Biscuit Flower Hour" remember it well!!!
Thank you for this. Seeing you react to this in this way made me feel less alone.
You are right man. I'm 55 years old and have been listening to this since it came out. Still get chill bumps.
I remember singing this to my daughter when she was an infant. Good times...
Was just on mushrooms the other day listening to pulse and having the best time with this song. Thanks!!
Lucky you Andrew, it's been 30 years since last time. I miss it so much
Thank You for melting my face!
More Please 😍
OH, and the " Monetizing Problem " might be because of an education tag of sorts... Last time I checked, education can't be monetized ... 'Merica
I really like the more Beato-style analysis of this style of video. Good stuff and I appreciate hearing your perspective.
Love the vids man, especially when you break the song down and explain different elements. Would love to look at the band Opeth. I think you will love them! Try Ghost of Perdition or Blackwater Park
With about 40 years of playing percussion and guitar, the outro solo is the best solo I've ever heard.... love many solos from different players, genres, styles, etc... but this is it for me. To go further, the version from Pulse is the best of them.
A couple of 90's facemelters-Radiohead "Fake Plastic Trees", Green Day "Welcome to Paradise". Classical-"Death and Transfiguration"-Ricard Strauss
I could see you still very emotional hearing this miraculously perfect song!!!
The fade out on the outro solo is a crime, now that we have all heard its finest expression in the Pulse performance.
I can honestly say that despite listening to this countless times I have never heard the french horns before, thanks for pointing them out!
one of the greatest songs ever written and performed
oohhh, thank you! i've been listening to this song since my father had it on cartridges (dunno how u call them in english), u just gave me another dimensio, thank you very much
OK boys and girls (a tour guide on another Star), see that face he makes while listening? That's the Pink Floyd Ecstasy Face. It's known throughout all galaxies and all beings thank Earth for sharing this.
Loved your expeirence of this. The tragedy of this masterpiece is when it finally fades out. Its true of this song and this band in general that unlike anyone else their work remains timeless and as fresh as it was when released . For me it gives me goosebumps always and I feel like I pick up something new each time!Musical poets like no other.!!
Upvoted immediately because you put the The Wall record cover up, instead of The Dark Side of The Moon. I believe you are the first reviewer I have seen to use the correct picture.
Awesome! This has been one of my favorite songs for over 25 years. It’s one of he greatest things ever made by humans.
Love how he couldn't stop before the solo begun, it demands to be listened to.
My favorite Pink Floyd is Hey you, I even have it as my alarm and phone ring.
Floyd has always since I was a wee lad been my #1! I bought The Wall on Vinyl when I was 9 and listen to it all the time. One thing you can't do with Pink Floyd is listen to a single track because the entire album is one continuous journey/story and no one ever to this day has done it better! I love all of Roger Waters solo stuff as well!
My brother bought this album when it came out. I think that I was overwhelmed, musically and thematically, when I first heard it. But I remember liking CN the best and predicting, to myself, that this would be the classic track from the album. I think that many PF fans would agree. Your analysis has deepened my appreciation. I now see this as the musical and thematic core of the album.
my favorite song ff of "the wall". takes me to a special place every time i listen.
To be honest your reactions from your goosebumps slide of your hand l, to your smirk of a smile, to you leaning back with the riff, brings me back to my same reaction while hallucinating on some of the best Lsd I every tried, which during this song amplifies the feeling of Euphoric emotions felt during this song... The drugs were bad but the feelings given off during masterpieces like this being played were real as holding someone who was melting like a candle in your hand. On any hallucinogen this song makes you feel all of your reactions amplified 5 to 10 times. Its great. Love your content keep it up
BEST, BEST, BEST ever Guitar Solo ever - it's emotions that are faced and released, they breathe & sing, notes are tears all perfectly selected and performed flawlessly.
This is always been my absolute favorite song
Stellar choice of song 👍
Love your analysis of the construction of the song during the mid section without interrupting the flow of the song.
Great video, looking forward to more of these 🙂
It's fun watching 20 year old's listen to this song for the first as if they discovered it. But I actually learn something from Geebz.
This is one of my favourite songs of all times. I think I am closing in on around a million listens. But somehow, you managed to lift this song to another level. So, thanks for that!
The way the minor verse changes to a major verse coupled with those almost nauseous modulation effects in the verse that then change to angelic vocals and instrumentation in the chorus so perfectly embodies the mood of the lyrics. Just genius 👌
I’ve heard this song a million times and never noticed the French horns, thanks for pointing that out haha! 😂
When I was a teenager I would play my Dad's copy of The Wall on his record player while doing home work. It helped me focus. To this day I can listen to this entire album over and over again. It was, and still is, such an amazing piece of music.
I listened Pink Floyd since 16yo, now I'm 36. I watched The Wall movie many times, and also listened to the double album about 30, 40, 50 times I don't really know, what I know is I went deeply in this masterpiece.
Trying my best, again and again understanding the underlying message(s) (not only those which are concretely represented in the animated parts of the movie).
This piece of art changed my life forever, no doubt. Like it had opened my eyes. I never wrote so much about myself than during this period.
"Comfortably Numb" was, is, and I think will stay forever my favorite track. So... Thanks a lot for having done a video about this one.
There’s an old tape of Dave Gilmour strumming the Em | A > C | G while humming a melody and you can just hear how it’s going to become “there is no pain, you are receding…” -before Comfortably Numb was even conceived. I love that! Had it in his back pocket, waiting to be the balmy chorus to Roger Waters’ austere verse on this song. Such beautiful collaboration.
