Every Pink Floyd song takes you on a journey. For real. Easy to get lost in the message and the unbelievably mesmerizing music. You’re taken to another place altogether ♥️
“That music took me away”….. that’s pretty much the first step in the Pink Floyd writing process…let the music create the journey. She gets it. Love seeing Pink Floyd fans get born.
During the recording of the album Roger Waters went around with a tape recorder and asked people on hand questions to get their responses. The older Scottish man was the doorman, other people were around the recording studio. He asked them questions like, “Have you ever been violent with someone?” then he would ask, “Were you in the right?” He asked them about death, if they feared death, about deep things of life. You hear their voices throughout the album. This song, Money, is a harsh critique of people’s attitudes toward money and greed.
It's more of a specialized rant about what the money offered by the record companies does to musicians and artists. Roger Waters has a lifelong hatred of record companies and often takes the opportunity to go after them in his songs.
@@allanjones1680 There’s greed and there’s what’s fair I suppose. It’s not greedy to want what you think is yours. That’s my personal comment on what you said.
You can never go wrong with Pink Floyd! In the video to their song "Another Brick In The Wall Part Two" a teacher reads out a poem by one of his students, and the words he reads are actually lyrics from this song! Cheers!
This song reflected Roger Waters's horror at the record industry and what it did to musicians and artists. It wasn't the last word, either - Waters _hated_ record companies (still does) and often ripped them up in his music.
They knew something was going on when they wrote this song. The band wasn't rich by any means, when the Dark Side of the Moon came out, but once they were persuaded to release "Money" as a single, this is what basically happened. The single helped the album stay in the billboard charts for over 15 years, exposing the masses to one of the greatest albums ever made, and each member of the band indeed had the opportunity to buy Lear jets and football teams, etc.
As you probably allready know that Animals and WIsh you were here were to be a double album at one point, but the record company said no way we wont get a very good return on our money if you do that so they had to be 2 seperate albums! Animals was the first album of theirs I ever saw them live!!

Richard Parry (born 22 December 1942) is an English saxophonist. He has appeared as a session musician on various albums, most notably in solo parts on the Pink Floyd songs "Money" and "Us and Them".
Great progressive rock band starting in the 60's. They are one of the best-selling music artists of all time. "Wish You Were Here", "The Dark Side Of The Moon" & "The Wall" are among the best-selling albums of all time. They have a huge library of music. Some of their big hits were "See Emily Play", "Money", "Time", "Echoes", "Us & Them", "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2", "Not Now John", "Comfortably Numb", "On The Turning Away", "High Hopes" etc. I remember going to the Planetarium to watch laser light shows set to their music.
Add in Momentary Lapse of Reason to that list. When so many bands were floundering around blindly in the 80's, here returns Pink Floyd, saying " Watch punks. This is how it's supposed to be done! "
Wait, when Pink Floyd was current, they weren’t referred to as ‘Progressive’ and I was there. Maybe blues/jazz/psychedelic….? Yes of course I am a boomer and I don’t give a hoot 🤔
David Gilmour is a brilliant musician one of the very best! They were experimental and they use anything they could to satisfy them. His concerts became so huge he had to start using Wireless pickups because he got so much Distortion from the huge light Riggs. He uses so many different computers and equipment to get his sound. That's why people love him so much. His sound is so unusual it's kind of like when he plays and sings you're really hearing two voices his wife bought him Jimi hendrix's guitar strap he put on his black Stratocaster. Not only is he a good musician he's really one hell of a human being he sold off some of his guitar collection and donated hundreds of Millions two charities
Very true, dont know if you've ever been to one of their concerts but you dont see David stepping on to many pedals to get the distortion he wants, he pays someone to do that backstage , but yeah an absolute genius with guitar tone!!!
The "muted" guitar sound that you are referring to may be the part where they took all the reverb and echo (which had been heavy up to that point) out very abruptly. That, along with his playing style, make it sound much more muted by contrast.
My favorite band. Their albums are meant to be listened to as a whole. I hope ya'll can do some full album reactions. (That said, single track requests would be "Echos" live in Pompeii, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Dogs" for starters.
My Dad was a Pastor and about 30 years ago he said something that I'll never forget. He said, "Son, Money is not the root of all evil, it's the love of money that is the root of all evil". A Moral Ethical man will help others, an evil man will do and say anything to get it. GREED. RIP Pops...
Highly disagree. Money is leveraged against poor and desperate people to make them do terrible things all the time. Money is the ultimate source of power and that is what truly makes it the root of evil. Most people don't love money, they love the stability and comfort that is only afforded to them through money.

This was my 1st album at 13 yrs old. I would play it over and over till my mama came after me with a hairbrush. lol. She had already raised 4 daughters and they played Janice Joplin that made her head explode. The 1970s were so fun and such complete freedom. Cop's were our friends and I'm sure we helped them out by being underage and drinking, they'd take our booze and put it in their trunk and tell us to be good kids.
Hey - you are so cooler than me! when I was NINE, my first vinyl was the "Partridge Family album" - imagine my shock to learn that "laurie" and the younger kids didn't sing! (lol) --
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs is Dogs... talk about deep lyrics and the older I get the more the words become identifiable. Trust me, you will want to listen. You will be glad if you do.
I would only recommend listening to “Animals” in its entirety rather than individual tracks. You wouldn’t open a book in the middle,read a chapter and expect to know the full story would you. But then,the same could be said for ALL of their albums. They are Gods of music.
Asia, the lead guitar parts have a lot of reverb and a bit of distortion added to fatten up the soloes. I think the muted sound you're referring to, that you hear in the break downs before the vocals come in, is a Wah-Wah effect pedal, the most well known model is called a 'Cry baby', it's an effect pedal like a footrest that is hinged, it sits on the floor and can be rocked back and forth to make a 'wah' sound of anything that's run through it. At the quieter points in the song the rhythm guitar panned to the left channel is playing through one, whilst the keyboard panned to the right channel is also run through one too. The guitar in the middle strikes some chords and is run through a different effects unit called a Tremelo that gives a short, wobbly sound, often this very early effect was build into the guitar amp controls as an optional effect, but could also be a separate effects unit on it's own.
Asia and BJ another great reaction love you 2. Do yourselves a favor and on some rainy day sit down between some speakers turn them up to 11 and listen to Dark Side of the Moon from beginning to End. It is one of the greatest sound experiences you will ever have I promise ♥️
Digging the vibes from the bass and the guitar and out of no where here comes a sax, putting some stank on that horn, then David Gilmore unleashes that guitar riff from hell and shows everyone how to properly play a Fender Strat and makes it scream, LOVE IT!!!
"That music took me away." Exactly. Pink Floyd were masters and early innovators of production techniques that allowed the band to take songs in unexpected directions. Each part of a song was like a scene in a movie that could take you far away from the original theme, but almost always comes back to it. Love that you did this song.
Don't even get Gilmour started on how he gets the sounds he gets from his guitar. All kinds of amps and preamps and filters and looping and... It's enough to make your head spin. He even sands out the wood in various areas of the guitar to achieve a certain tone. The man's an evil genius. All we can do is set back and enjoy the end result. One of the greatest and most identifiable guitars in all of rock.
there are a few documentary things on youtube about the making of the dark side of the moon album, and it'll explain the talking you hear at the end of tracks on it, recording techniques and whatnot, some pretty cool stuff
From the same album, I'd like to suggest The Great Gig In The Sky. It includes an incredible improvised vocal performance by a lady named Claire Toney. You won't be sorry.
Fun Fact: There is no dark side of the moon. It’s all dark. However, this Dark Side of the Moon has the same property. Reflection. One of thee best albums, EVER!
Yea, this is one of those album albums... Songs in a specific order for a specific reason to take you on a specific emotional musical journey... So you only get the full effect when you listen to the whole thing start to finish.
Dark Side of the Moon accounted for one of the most mystical moments of my life in 1976(?). I was going to school in San Diego and we were early for a midnight showing of "Kentucky Fried Movie" at the Strand Theatre. One of our group had the brilliant idea to hang out at the beach and smoke up before going in. We drove the car onto the beach, put Dark Side of the Moon on the stereo and sat outside smoking and watching the waves come in. Then, as the waves came in, a million tiny fish started flopping on the beach. I wasn't sure it was real. I was a Midwest boy completely out of his element. I had never heard of, nor expected to see a "Grunion Run." Before long, we were running around yelling and laughing while throwing fish at each other. We eventually ended up at the movie, but it was kinda anti-climactic.
You really do need to listen to the album in its entirety to get the proper impact. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a “mute guitar” before but I enjoyed you trying to explain that!😎
I had always heard songs off of this album as my mom loved it, and I had The Wall on VHS back in the 90s, but it wasn't until 2013 that I got my hands on the vinyl version of this album and I listened to it all start to finish on a full record player stereo system and it was life changing.
The coolest part for me is that the first half isn't normal 4/4 time, its in 7 time (changes to 4/4 at the guitar solo, and then back later) And it was a huge hit! Sounds weird but sooooo coool. I remember when it came out and blew everyone's minds. Yes, I am old.
🎼Heads up ! In the video, The MAKING of The Dark Side O f The Moon, Roger Waters says they stole this riff from two black blues musicians from the 1940s. In fact , Rogers then plays the original recording of the old 78 rpm vinyl disk. *So again, music is share and improvised from and between all races. Sideways smiley-face ; > )🎵
Excellent choice my young connoisseurs of music. Pink Floyd are legendary. 👍 The O'Jays also had something to say about "For The Love Of Money" - check it out. 💞 Love you two.
70s rock is very blues oriented. Cream and Eric Clapton are good examples. More Led Zepplin stuff is also. Listen to more of them. To understand Pink Floyd's Money, listen to the whole album, Dark Side Of The Moon. It is a great concept album.
Man, I love that guitar.... there is a critique of the critique of the two sides of capitalism in this song, y'all. They, too, had their American dream. When this song was written, it was on the beginning of the rising disparity between income and cost of living. Pink Floyd were great composers.
Hi, great reaction!, BJ is right, the muted sound the guitar makes is done through effects pedals. Usually some kind of distortion mixed with a delay, I'm not an expert, but I think that's how it's done, gives that nice haunting tone that Pink Floyd is famous for. Have a great day, Peace!
I remember that you guys did a reaction to Pink Floyd song - The Wall And in that video the teacher was reading the little kids poems different words and stuff if you go back and listen to what he said when he was reading out the kids paper - its some of the verses to the song Money that you did a reaction to by Pink Floyd
Not my favourite band ever, and many people will prefer others too, but in terms of all elements (original songwriting, musicianship, delivery and production) I think they have to be the most impressive band ever
By the way, if you think this song takes you away, wait'll you try "Echoes". A song about the ocean, it's 20 minutes long and goes on extended musical journeys through the underwater world, including listening to whales and exploring coral reefs. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Asia is right, you make a muted sound to the guitar strings if you hold your palm or fingers to press softly on the strings, so they don't ring out fully. If that makes any sense!
My experience w/ Pink Floyd and “Dark Side of the Moon”? My coworker gave me his CD and said to do the following when I got home: 1) Smoke a joint 2) Make sure no one around to disturb you. 3)Get headphones 4) Play album from beginning to end. 5) Turn off all the lights 6) “Enjoy the trip” I literally felt I was flying and in some other dimension! Oh the memories! One of my top albums of all-time! “Money” is my favorite song on this album! *and yes I did the watching of the “Wizard of Oz” and the playing of Dark Side of the Moon simultaneously…
You guys on fire tonight! I'm so excited for the half-time show and gonna stay up all night in the UK to watch it. Then u drop floyd and the who. Mind blown!🤯 U still gotta check out Love Reign O'er me by the who. Rogers vocals are unbelievable and it takes u on a journey musically. U feel it deep in your soul. Amazing arrangement.
Asia got swept away on a Pink cloud 😁 without even smokin anything. Sure as hell happened to me! BJ nailed that sick bass part kind of half funk half hypnotic the way only Pink Floyd could do it. I saw them at RFK stadium in DC back in the ‘80’s - was stellar. Or interstellar 😁
Gotta love Pink Floyd reactions! There is a lot going on with the music in this song. The timing of the song goes back and forth from 4/4 timing to 7/4. The guitar solo is in 7/4. I don’t hear any muting of any of the instruments but the Sax has a resonator kind of sound, but I think that’s just Dick Parry’s playing, not a resonator. The super incredibly loud piercing sound of David Gilmour’s lead guitar can only be captured during recording by using an effect called Compression. It takes the loud distorted sound and essentially puts a lid on it. A ceiling on the sound, without losing the quality of the sound. Without compression during the recording of loud sounds we would hear horrible distortion. Muting guitar strings is done by the player using his right palm and just lightly touching the strings to deaden the sound. Listen to some Johnny Cash and hear the iconic sound of Luther Perkins mute those strings while he’s picking away for Johnny.
You guys should do a reaction to "The Dark Side Of Oz" which combines the sound from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album with the movie "The Wizard Of Oz". It's amazing how well the two are synchronized together. All the dances are in time and there's a lot of cool "coincidences" such as the sound of the cash register and cash at the beginning of this song occurs where the movie turns from black and white to color as well as a lot of other well-timed lyrics/music.
I don’t know if David Gilmore played 3 or 4 separate guitar parts for this song (he played all of the guitar parts), but what happened in the part of the solo that she asked about was all but 1 of the guitar parts stopped, leaving a single, very finely and cleanly overdriven guitar with the bass dialed way down and the mid range scooped to make it stand out. Genius!
Asia is right about muting. On brass instruments like a saxophone, the thing they put inside the bell of the instrument is indeed called a "mute". Not sure what they do to guitars though, although some of it is done in the studio production room.
You will never go wrong with Pink Floyd, this is yet another classic cut off that forever album, Dark Side of the Moon. Do yourselves a favor sometime, when you have some down time and just listen to the album from start to end, it will be an audio experience like no other. Enjoy! 🎵
In recent years,Animals is the one I go back to the most,but DSOTM is legendary for a reason,and was my favourite album by anyone for decades. But hey,it’s Pink Floyd,anything by them is fantastic. Pulse tour is still embedded in my mind and still the best concert I’ve ever seen.
@@TheCornishCockney Yep, anything from Meddle to The Wall is beyond classic, those albums are permanent parts of the human experience and will be listened to for centuries to come. ♩🎵🎶
Wait till you get to The Great Gig in the Sky, to me, the greatest single recording ever layed down. The story behind its unlikely creation is amazing as well.
Imagine if you had NEVER heard a guitar solo riff like that RIPP before...ever....never had in music BEFORE..... think about that!!!!! ....MONEY MONEY MAAAAAANEY....came alot later...!
They asked some guys at the studio a few random questions, and those comments at the end (of the song) are answers to those questions. Of course, the Brits have a little different lingo than Americans. Great reaction guys.
It's NOT money that's the root of all evil. There's nothing wrong with having money. It's a quote from the Bible: "1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." We should love and care for each other. Be good shepherds to the Earth and the other creatures on it. Not waste love on pieces of paper and coins.

they had more than just a distortion pedal... many pedals for many effect. I was kinda hoping BJ might have a lightbulb moment, and it looked like he did, but It seems not. You reacted to ",Another Brick In The Wall", and said the boy's poetry wasn't so good, but they were the lyrics to this song... wanna rethink your ability to get a job in poetry criticism? lol.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
Pink Floyd are a different level... period. And you're listening to one of the greatest albums ever made.. ***A blockbuster release of the album era, it also propelled record sales throughout the music industry during the 1970s. It has been certified 14× platinum in the United Kingdom, and topped the US Top LPs & Tape chart, where it has charted for 961 weeks in total.** AROUND 19 YEARS IN THE CHARTS
Pink Floyd was many of the British Progressive rock bands of the early 70's. (Progressive Rock is a mixture of Blues, Jazz, Classical and Experimental Electronic Music). Pink Floyd started out in 1967. I was 12 years back then.
IIRC they recorded Dave gilmour's guitar solo for Shine on you crazy diamond in an empty recording studio built for symphony orchestras. Whis gave it that incredible far away echo. Today, no one would do that. They'd just add a filter...NOT THE SAME! NOT THE SAME! Not real. Imagine having sex with the most perfect most beautiful robot...it's STILL A ROBOT!
BJ I just gotta say, as a massachusetts native and tom brady fan I just have to tell your hat something..... 28 to 3 falcons with 2 mins left in the 3rd quarter in SB 51 😘. Never forget the undisputed GOAT!! TB12!!
I’m new to the channel and I’m in the rabbit hole. I suggest “Slow Ride” by Foghat, “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth, and “I Need a Lover” by John Cougar.
Asia, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!! It IS MUTED! It can be done with pedals (for echo) and a finger trick. They do it a few other songs too. A great one is "Have a cigar"... its fantastic 😊
Dark Side was one of the all time greatest production records. The sounds they were able to obtain in the very early seventies is really remarkable.

I think the muted sound you're referring to, that you hear in the break downs before the vocals come in, is a Wah-Wah effect pedal, the most well known model is called a 'Cry baby', it's an effect pedal like a footrest that is hinged, it sits on the floor and can be rocked back and forth to make a 'wah' sound of anything that's run through it. At the quieter points in the song the rhythm guitar panned to the left channel is playing through one, whilst the keyboard panned to the right channel is also run through one too. The guitar in the middle strikes some chords and is run through a different effects unit called a Tremelo that gives a short, wobbly sound, often this very early effect was build into the guitar amp controls as an optional effect, but could also be a separate effects unit on it's own.
Asia and BJ another great reaction love you 2. Do yourselves a favor and on some rainy day sit down between some speakers turn them up to 11 and listen to Dark Side of the Moon from beginning to End. It is one of the greatest sound experiences you will ever have I promise ♥️
Digging the vibes from the bass and the guitar and out of no where here comes a sax, putting some stank on that horn, then David Gilmore unleashes that guitar riff from hell and shows everyone how to properly play a Fender Strat and makes it scream, LOVE IT!!!
The guitar becomes ethereal and floats off in the second riff
"That music took me away." Exactly. Pink Floyd were masters and early innovators of production techniques that allowed the band to take songs in unexpected directions. Each part of a song was like a scene in a movie that could take you far away from the original theme, but almost always comes back to it. Love that you did this song.
They got that from the Beatles!
Don't even get Gilmour started on how he gets the sounds he gets from his guitar. All kinds of amps and preamps and filters and looping and... It's enough to make your head spin. He even sands out the wood in various areas of the guitar to achieve a certain tone.
The man's an evil genius. All we can do is set back and enjoy the end result. One of the greatest and most identifiable guitars in all of rock.
👋flubbert good to see you. ❤️✌️🌼
best band ever lived
there are a few documentary things on youtube about the making of the dark side of the moon album, and it'll explain the talking you hear at the end of tracks on it, recording techniques and whatnot, some pretty cool stuff
7/4 time signatures are rare in rock n' roll. Rare enough in jazz.
You have hear the whole album to really feel theae songs. All tied together
From the same album, I'd like to suggest The Great Gig In The Sky. It includes an incredible improvised vocal performance by a lady named Claire Toney. You won't be sorry.
Pink Floyd's signature songs....Time & Money
Fun Fact: There is no dark side of the moon. It’s all dark.
However, this Dark Side of the Moon has the same property. Reflection.
One of thee best albums, EVER!
Matter of fact it's all dark... (Scottish accent)
If its all dark how can you see the moon wax and wane then.
It's dark only because the sun isn't shining on it.
You guys should really do a live reaction for a full album from start to finish to feel the real story behind the music!
Absolutely. Listening to the whole album is an experience on a whole other level.
Yea, this is one of those album albums... Songs in a specific order for a specific reason to take you on a specific emotional musical journey... So you only get the full effect when you listen to the whole thing start to finish.
The main riff is in 7 and it’s cool in that it doesn’t feel like an odd meter because it flows so well.
Dark Side of the Moon accounted for one of the most mystical moments of my life in 1976(?). I was going to school in San Diego and we were early for a midnight showing of "Kentucky Fried Movie" at the Strand Theatre. One of our group had the brilliant idea to hang out at the beach and smoke up before going in. We drove the car onto the beach, put Dark Side of the Moon on the stereo and sat outside smoking and watching the waves come in. Then, as the waves came in, a million tiny fish started flopping on the beach. I wasn't sure it was real. I was a Midwest boy completely out of his element. I had never heard of, nor expected to see a "Grunion Run." Before long, we were running around yelling and laughing while throwing fish at each other. We eventually ended up at the movie, but it was kinda anti-climactic.
You really do need to listen to the album in its entirety to get the proper impact. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a “mute guitar” before but I enjoyed you trying to explain that!😎
Asia, the guitar effect you're asking about is called "compression". It's an effect dialed in by using a unit called a signal processor. 🤓😁😇
I had always heard songs off of this album as my mom loved it, and I had The Wall on VHS back in the 90s, but it wasn't until 2013 that I got my hands on the vinyl version of this album and I listened to it all start to finish on a full record player stereo system and it was life changing.
👍😎
The coolest part for me is that the first half isn't normal 4/4 time, its in 7 time (changes to 4/4 at the guitar solo, and then back later) And it was a huge hit! Sounds weird but sooooo coool. I remember when it came out and blew everyone's minds. Yes, I am old.
EVERY SINGLE 60 and 70 British rock band were Heavily influenced by southern blues
🎼Heads up ! In the video, The MAKING of The Dark Side O f The Moon, Roger Waters says they stole this riff from two black blues musicians from the 1940s. In fact , Rogers then plays the original recording of the old 78 rpm vinyl disk. *So again, music is share and improvised from and between all races. Sideways smiley-face ; > )🎵
Excellent choice my young connoisseurs of music. Pink Floyd are legendary. 👍 The O'Jays also had something to say about "For The Love Of Money" - check it out. 💞 Love you two.
If you think journeys song faithfully was so good …….hold my beer says Pink Floyd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
70s rock is very blues oriented. Cream and Eric Clapton are good examples. More Led Zepplin stuff is also. Listen to more of them. To understand Pink Floyd's Money, listen to the whole album, Dark Side Of The Moon. It is a great concept album.
Money it's a drug...
Mark Twain once said
"Lack of money is root of all evil". I think he was describing withdrawal.
Ok, now you're getting into that real shit.
Man, I love that guitar.... there is a critique of the critique of the two sides of capitalism in this song, y'all. They, too, had their American dream. When this song was written, it was on the beginning of the rising disparity between income and cost of living. Pink Floyd were great composers.
Hi, great reaction!, BJ is right, the muted sound the guitar makes is done through effects pedals. Usually some kind of distortion mixed with a delay, I'm not an expert, but I think that's how it's done, gives that nice haunting tone that Pink Floyd is famous for. Have a great day, Peace!
I remember that you guys did a reaction to Pink Floyd song - The Wall
And in that video the teacher was reading the little kids poems different words and stuff if you go back and listen to what he said when he was reading out the kids paper - its some of the verses to the song Money that you did a reaction to by Pink Floyd
Not my favourite band ever, and many people will prefer others too, but in terms of all elements (original songwriting, musicianship, delivery and production) I think they have to be the most impressive band ever
Finally. How great was that?
You can't help but feel Pink Floyd in your soul! Great reaction.
By the way, if you think this song takes you away, wait'll you try "Echoes". A song about the ocean, it's 20 minutes long and goes on extended musical journeys through the underwater world, including listening to whales and exploring coral reefs. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Esp the Live at Pompeii version
Asia is right, you make a muted sound to the guitar strings if you hold your palm or fingers to press softly on the strings, so they don't ring out fully. If that makes any sense!
The laddy recons himself a poet . Another brick in the wall's poem
My experience w/ Pink Floyd and “Dark Side of the Moon”?
My coworker gave me his CD and said to do the following when I got home:
1) Smoke a joint
2) Make sure no one around to disturb you.
3)Get headphones
4) Play album from beginning to end.
5) Turn off all the lights
6) “Enjoy the trip”
I literally felt I was flying and in some other dimension! Oh the memories! One of my top albums of all-time! “Money” is my favorite song on this album!
*and yes I did the watching of the “Wizard of Oz” and the playing of Dark Side of the Moon simultaneously…
I always wanted to see if the "Wizard of Oz" thing was real.
You guys on fire tonight! I'm so excited for the half-time show and gonna stay up all night in the UK to watch it. Then u drop floyd and the who. Mind blown!🤯
U still gotta check out Love Reign O'er me by the who. Rogers vocals are unbelievable and it takes u on a journey musically. U feel it deep in your soul. Amazing arrangement.
I think a must listen to song off the Dark Side of the Moon album would be "US and Them". Will not disappoint.
Asia got swept away on a Pink cloud 😁 without even smokin anything. Sure as hell happened to me! BJ nailed that sick bass part kind of half funk half hypnotic the way only Pink Floyd could do it. I saw them at RFK stadium in DC back in the ‘80’s - was stellar. Or interstellar 😁
Time to do Led Zeppelin live 73 msg since I’ve been loving you
Pink Floyd is just the most amazing versitle band ever. My favorite PF song is "Learning to Fly! "
No,...,...purely David's style...... à nice point though.........
Gotta love Pink Floyd reactions!
There is a lot going on with the music in this song.
The timing of the song goes back and forth from 4/4 timing to 7/4. The guitar solo is in 7/4.
I don’t hear any muting of any of the instruments but the Sax has a resonator kind of sound, but I think that’s just Dick Parry’s playing, not a resonator.
The super incredibly loud piercing sound of David Gilmour’s lead guitar can only be captured during recording by using an effect called Compression. It takes the loud distorted sound and essentially puts a lid on it. A ceiling on the sound, without losing the quality of the sound. Without compression during the recording of loud sounds we would hear horrible distortion.
Muting guitar strings is done by the player using his right palm and just lightly touching the strings to deaden the sound.
Listen to some Johnny Cash and hear the iconic sound of Luther Perkins mute those strings while he’s picking away for Johnny.
The solo is in 4/4, not 7/8
You guys should do a reaction to "The Dark Side Of Oz" which combines the sound from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album with the movie "The Wizard Of Oz". It's amazing how well the two are synchronized together. All the dances are in time and there's a lot of cool "coincidences" such as the sound of the cash register and cash at the beginning of this song occurs where the movie turns from black and white to color as well as a lot of other well-timed lyrics/music.
It's also the beginning of side 2 of the album.
Money is not the root of all evil, The LOVE of money is the root of all evil
Great video. I watch you nightly
IT'S GOING INTO ANOTHER SONG YOU GUYS! :) LIKE ALOTTTT OF THEIR STUFF DOES
it's not glorifying money. It's ANTI money
The LOVE of Mony is the root of all evil. Mony is a tool what it does in the hand of its owner determined the crime
Best live concert ever ⚡🦋⚡🐲💛🐉🌍🧭😎
I'M PROUD TO BE A FLOYDIAN ✌😲👍
Wd40 the chair and keep hits us with these fire reactions
It is really cool to see young folks listening to the music of my youth. Honestly it has made me revisit a lot of things.
you guys really need to watch the live versions
Because it's David Gilmore
I don’t know if David Gilmore played 3 or 4 separate guitar parts for this song (he played all of the guitar parts), but what happened in the part of the solo that she asked about was all but 1 of the guitar parts stopped, leaving a single, very finely and cleanly overdriven guitar with the bass dialed way down and the mid range scooped to make it stand out. Genius!
This whole album is worth listening to!! You can’t ever go wrong with Pink Floyd!!
True that!
Asia is right about muting. On brass instruments like a saxophone, the thing they put inside the bell of the instrument is indeed called a "mute". Not sure what they do to guitars though, although some of it is done in the studio production room.
You will never go wrong with Pink Floyd, this is yet another classic cut off that forever album, Dark Side of the Moon. Do yourselves a favor sometime, when you have some down time and just listen to the album from start to end, it will be an audio experience like no other. Enjoy! 🎵
In recent years,Animals is the one I go back to the most,but DSOTM is legendary for a reason,and was my favourite album by anyone for decades.
But hey,it’s Pink Floyd,anything by them is fantastic.
Pulse tour is still embedded in my mind and still the best concert I’ve ever seen.
@@TheCornishCockney Yep, anything from Meddle to The Wall is beyond classic, those albums are permanent parts of the human experience and will be listened to for centuries to come. ♩🎵🎶
Thank you for allowing us to witness your Pink Floyd Money epiphany. Brings back memories of my own in the 1970s.
Always loved the opening of this song and the sound of cash register and change jingling.
This is so much better live.
Some of my favorite solos in this song
This song is just FANTASTIC,,,,really glad you like it. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍😎
Wait till you get to The Great Gig in the Sky, to me, the greatest single recording ever layed down. The story behind its unlikely creation is amazing as well.
Imagine if you had NEVER heard a guitar solo riff like that RIPP before...ever....never had in music BEFORE..... think about that!!!!! ....MONEY MONEY MAAAAAANEY....came alot later...!
They asked some guys at the studio a few random questions, and those comments at the end (of the song) are answers to those questions. Of course, the Brits have a little different lingo than Americans. Great reaction guys.
It's NOT money that's the root of all evil. There's nothing wrong with having money. It's a quote from the Bible: "1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." We should love and care for each other. Be good shepherds to the Earth and the other creatures on it. Not waste love on pieces of paper and coins.
Need A Lear Jet??….Just Become A Televangelist Like Jesse Duplantis & Ask UR Followers 2 Send U More $$…So U Can Buy UR SEVENTH PRIVATE JET…So U Can Have Better Access 2 Travel & Preach ‘The Word Of God’ Around The World!!😮 Yes…He Told Them His Fleet Of 6 Jets Were Becoming Outdated!! Amen!!
they had more than just a distortion pedal... many pedals for many effect.
I was kinda hoping BJ might have a lightbulb moment, and it looked like he did, but It seems not.
You reacted to ",Another Brick In The Wall", and said the boy's poetry wasn't so good, but they were the lyrics to this song... wanna rethink your ability to get a job in poetry criticism? lol.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
Pink Floyd are a different level... period. And you're listening to one of the greatest albums ever made.. ***A blockbuster release of the album era, it also propelled record sales throughout the music industry during the 1970s. It has been certified 14× platinum in the United Kingdom, and topped the US Top LPs & Tape chart, where it has charted for 961 weeks in total.** AROUND 19 YEARS IN THE CHARTS
Pink Floyd was many of the British Progressive rock bands of the early 70's. (Progressive Rock is a mixture of Blues, Jazz, Classical and Experimental Electronic Music). Pink Floyd started out in 1967. I was 12 years back then.
PINK FLOYD:
Another Brick in The Wall
Dogs
Have a Cigar
Echoes
High Hopes
Young Lust
Welcome To the Machines
IIRC they recorded Dave gilmour's guitar solo for Shine on you crazy diamond in an empty recording studio built for symphony orchestras. Whis gave it that incredible far away echo. Today, no one would do that. They'd just add a filter...NOT THE SAME! NOT THE SAME! Not real. Imagine having sex with the most perfect most beautiful robot...it's STILL A ROBOT!
Dark Side of the Moon holds the record for the longest stay on the Billboard album chart...736 weeks (15+ years!!!)
"I'm alright, Jack! Keep your hands off of My Stack" (I'm thinking of buying a football team...)
BJ I just gotta say, as a massachusetts native and tom brady fan I just have to tell your hat something..... 28 to 3 falcons with 2 mins left in the 3rd quarter in SB 51 😘. Never forget the undisputed GOAT!! TB12!!
A lot of the biggest British guitar players of the 60s and 70s, including David Gilmore, were heavily influenced by American blues.
WARNING: May cause spontaneous air guitar episodes. You have been warned. 🥰
I’m new to the channel and I’m in the rabbit hole. I suggest “Slow Ride” by Foghat, “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth, and “I Need a Lover” by John Cougar.
Asia, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!! It IS MUTED! It can be done with pedals (for echo) and a finger trick. They do it a few other songs too. A great one is "Have a cigar"... its fantastic 😊
