Everything on the Animals album should be done with a lyrics version. Good job, young man.
I appreciate you good sir
Especially “sheep” a Waters lyrical masterpiece
Pigs = Business Man/Politicians
Dogs = Enforcers/Bosses in a company tryin to move up while pushing others down
Sheep = the working class following blindly
Animal Farm is the inspiration source for this album.
The album "Animals" is based on George Orwell's political fable, Animal Farm, where various castes of society are represented through different animals: dogs as lawmen, pigs as ruthless rulers, and sheep as pawns mindless. While the novel focuses on communism, the album is a direct critique of consumer society, is one of my favorites albums ❤️
You hit it right on the head that is the exact meaning of the album animals not many people know this well done.
In Roger Waters' take the dogs are the ruthless businessmen, pigs are the political/ruling class, and sheep are the passive victims of both.
Dogs represent the ruthless world of businessmen and how the more brutal you are the more you get to the top. The rest of what you wrote is 100% right.
Pink Floyd didn't write songs, they wrote albums. If you truly want to experience them and grab meaning behind individual songs it's a good idea to listen to them in order. Great reaction kid, love this song.
I think this is more important on The Wall, and a little important on Dark Side, Animals and Final Cut. The other albuns have songs with isolated meanings.
This is my favorite band, my favorite album, and my favorite song...of...all...time. You took a big step toward me being a subscriber doing this song and talking about the goose bumps, especially during the 4 part guitar harmony that comes around twice ("the stop, and then it goes high" part), that is as good as Beethoven. Hands down.
This song is very underrated and the guitar work in it is other worldly.... only DG can play like that. :) Now.... with that being said.... ECHOES REMASTERED!!! :)
Echoes is so good, the harmony with Dave Gilmour and Rick Wright is mesmerising.
At 4:35 you say: "i have the goosebumps".
Despite the fact that I have listened to this song hundreds of times, it still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.
The only flaw about this song is that, despite its 17 minutes long, it's ultimately too short.
Ive got a big passion for pink floyd and its so cool to see people react the way I did man your awesome
No you’re awesome
@@tenacioushart2084 The building on the album cover is of the old Battersea Power Station.
Nick Mason is such an underrated Drummer. Like Gilmour, like all of them in fact, their playing style is not super complex. But is just right. And the production of these albums lets you hear each of them so perfectly.
This has always been my favorite song on this album. I know others appreciate Pigs and Sheep more but I need me some Gilmour and this song hits all the right notes for me
The best live version of Dogs I've seen is Roger's "In the Flesh" dvd.
Agreed! So good
You are going to have so much fun listening to the next song "Pigs/3 Different Ones'. Doctor Gilmour plays Bass guitar and Lead Electric on it. Roger plays rhythm guitar on it. Listen carefully for David using a "voicebox" to make the "pig grunting" noises 1/2 way thru. He truly IS the Doctor on the guitar. Ummm....David doesn't "shred" on the guitar. He bends the heck out of those strings and the only thing he shreds is your soul. Enjoy Pigs, my man.
I almost forgot....the band lets David off of his leash towards the end. Strap in.
Thank you for reacting to this awesome Floyd track. Following the success of Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd debuted three new songs during their 1974 tour, making up the first set. These were "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "You Gotta Be Crazy" and Raving and Drooling". Pink Floyd would tour with new material as they preferred to refine their songs live in concert. Shine On You Crazy Diamond was split in two and bookended their next album, Wish You Were Here (1975). The other two tracks were not considered polished enough at the time. In 1977, Roger came up with the Animals concept for their next album. You have many comments on here about this. Roger changed the lyrics and You Gotta Be Crazy became Dogs, and Raving and Drooling became Sheep. Now to the GREAT NEWS! A search on TH-cam will get you many live bootleg recordings of these songs from 1974. They are well worth a listen to hear the evolution of these three tracks. Even better, there are many live bootlegs of many of Floyd's 1977 'In The Flesh" tour., which featured the Animals and Wish You Were Here albums, plus encores of Money and Us and Them. The best of these, in my option, is Pink Floyd Live at Oakland Coliseum in May 1977. This contains the most awesome version of Pigs (Three Different Ones), with the final guitar solo that is just unreal. It also contains the final ever live performance of their early classic, "Careful with that Axe, Eugene. As a deep dive, listen to the Montreal concert (1977) which included the infamous Roger Waters spitting incident. Roger had grown frustrated by a tour besieged by technical difficulties and loud crowds more interesting in setting off fireworks than listening to the music. In frustration, he calls a fan to the stage only to spit in their face. This incident inspired Roger to build a wall between the band and the audience, leading to the 1979 The Wall album. There is a wealth of live concert bootlegs of the band across all of their career, and Floyd was always at their best live in concert.
Great reaction. However don't forget the two little songs that bookend the album. They are very important. And as for Gilmour he is not a shredder he is a bender.
Indeed. I think he once said guitar playing is all 'bending wires'.
The album is called animals because of the book, animal farm by George Orwell. Roger Waters interpretation anyways. He’s a genius.❤️✌️
Wait until you've worked in the dog eat dog business world for 42 years! The lyrics are spot on!
The building is the old Battersea Power Station in London
You are correct christine I got my first dog next door in the battersea dogs home.☺
Loved your reaction. The next song on this album is pigs three different ones. The next is sheep. The last song on this album is pigs on the wing part two. You accidentally missed pigs on the wing part one.It would totally be acceptable to play pigs on the wing part one and at the same time in the same video. Love watching your musical journey. Thank you for sharing. Sorry for any spelling or punctuation errors I have dyslexia.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
May I put in a request for recognition of the amazing work of Richard Wright on keyboards. He is the perfect counterbalance for the genius of David Gilmour, but never gets any credit. Still miss him, RIP Richard.
"I have the goosebumps..." Indeed, we do too...even after 40+ years
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Dogs on a car speaker when I just so happened to be tripping on 4 tabs of acid. Has been my favorite song ever since.
The whole album is an absolute masterpiece
There are 5 tracks on the album, you missed pigs on the wing part 1. There are 3 longer tracks, dogs, pigs and sheep, bookended by 2 short acoustic tracks pigs on the wing parts 1 and 2.
The album reflects 3 levels of society, some say loosely based on 'animal farm'. Most of the population, especially in the last year are sheep. This album is as good as the big 3 floyd albums in my opinion.
Nice reaction
You could do Pigs and Sheep as sperate reactions and then do Pigs on the Wing (parts 1 & 2) together. Great concept album.
After that hit the Wish You Were Here album which came out between Dark Side of the Moon and Animals.
Or alternatively, do MEDDLE....🤔😂
In short The Dogs are business men The Pigs are politicians and The Sheep are us. With some bands it helps to enjoy the song knowing some back ground info especially in you get in to Tool They will blow your mind Try Lateralus . Good stuff im liking your journey keep rocking
Gotta get to SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND after your Animals trip. Keep going, there is enough great Pink Floyd out there to keep you busy for a while.
And then the best thing is, it never gets old. Been listening for 45+ years and still dominates my Playlist. Favorite musicians of all time. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
When i was young , i was listen Pink Floyd Animals album on LSD .. it was an other world 😎👍
The second time I ever heard Dogs I was tripping balls, I’ll never forget that moment, and it’s been my favorite song ever since.
@@soonerfan0161 😎👍
Excellent reaction
Thanks.
Great Track.

You mentioned that you aren't sure if PF has any "bad" songs, whatever that term means and I have to agree.
However, everybody has their own taste and PF's range of work in terms of style/sophistication is extremely vast.
For example, the song Money can be characterized as quite commercially friendly and most people would love it, but there are other songs that are not quite as much appealing to the broad public and can be even considered esoteric in terms of musicianship.
If you want an example of such song, check out "Pompeii - Set the Controls for The Heart of The Sun."
Taking bets on how many OMG's for this vid....
****
I had thought he might pique out at 9-10, but I wasn't even close! Ha ha...it was 24 !!! I should have taken into account there are 3 solo's and add all that to the rest of the song...Never mind.
Mr. Hart, If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put THIS or any Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music do it's thing to sooth your soul !!!
Great reaction. You say "Oh My God" alot on your reacton videos. I realize you're just doing an honest reaction and that is how you feel. Just so you know, you don't have to say Oh My God all the time....we can see it on the expression on your face. However, I need to back off and let you be you. Thanks for doing these reactions.
Dave Gilmore is possibly defined thus;
"He leaves stuff out."
There.
I often feel like Pink Floyd's music just can't be played loud enough.
This album is inspired by the book Animal Farm. Dogs represents the corrupt businessmen and their back stabbing ways and how they eventually die and realize it wasn’t worth it (“Just another sad old man all alone and dying of cancer”) (“Dragged Down by the Stone”) are lyrics that represent this. Pigs is about the corrupt politicians who try to make themselves out as something they are not. Sheep is about the innocent bystanders, some of the sheep eventually rise up against the dogs and defeat them, however the new sheep in power turn out to become just as power hungry and corrupt as the dogs were which happens a lot in society honestly. Pigs on the Wing Pts 1 and 2 are a tribute to Rogers wife and how she helps him to avoid getting caught up in all the corruptness that exists
David Gilmour
Good luck finding a live Pink Floyd or David Gilmour video of this song. Sadly it does not exist. Gilmour never played this song in tours after Waters left. However, as was mentioned, Waters did an amazing live version a few years back (with someone filling in for Gilmour on vocals and guitar), which featured a full arena length mock-up of the iconic 'Animals' album cover.
Your reaction is exactly the same as mine the very first time I ever heard this masterpiece.
The only difference is, I heard it January 22 1977, a day after the album "Animals", was released.
The goosebumps, the "Oh Gods", the utter amazement and the respect is how I felt on that magical day, so many years ago in my youth.
Get back too me, 44 years down the road young man, and let me know if Pink Floyd effects you in the same way.
Personally, I still feel like that 17 year old kid, blown away that day, listening to Dogs, Pigs and Sheep.
Floyd songs are not on regular time, they are on Floyd time which is beginning and ending with a lot in between.
It’s best to listen to the albums as a whole with the transitions in place. Like only reading a paragraph of a book instead of the whole book 😎
Its my favourite song along with echoes and time.
And it’s off my all time favourite album. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Got a suggestion- since you loved both Dogs and War Pigs, I recommend Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath. It’s not a horror-themed song, it’s about the need to protest against war and injustice. The music, however, is an almost perfect marriage of prog like Floyd and metal.
to me, This album is incredible. Id even rank this one Higher than Wish you were here. May not be better but I like it a lil better. This album to me, I like as much as The Wall.
I KNEWWWWW YOU WERE GONNA LIKE THIS! LOL :) COOL IT'S BASICALLY: DOGS / BUSINESSMAN, PIGS / GOVERNMENT, AND SHEEP / THE PEOPLE :) IT'S AN AWESOME OUTPUT FOR SURE.
Okay, now you're getting into deep Floyd!
Nice avi,,,,👍😎
@@LordEagle yeah, nifty interweaving.)
What are you talking about....He hasn't even come close to "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" or "Echoes" for that matter !!!!
@@gbsailing9436 These 2 songs certainly illustrate that old saying: The longer the title, the less important the song. I would actually love to imbibe some of whatever they were sampling in those days.
@@glennbrock6560 LOL...
Music great but the words are everything...
I read that David Gilmour not only played both duet guitar parts but also played bass for this song overlaying three tracks on top of each other. Roger played the acoustic guitar. When they toured for this album, they had Whitey Ford with them to play the second lead guitar and he also played the acoustic guitar while Roger played the bass.
Pink Floyd? Umma fuckin Gumma.
Pink Floyd albums are a journey. Enjoy the ride,,,,👍👍👍😎
Capitalism and its predatory nature.
'Animals' is a loose translation of George Orwell's novel 'Animal Farm'. Where Orwell was commenting on Communism, Pink Floyd is commenting on Capitalism.
Great reaction! Send more!
Roger Waters has a Great Live version from his In The Flesh Tour!!
Here’s his live performance from his 2018 tour. I saw it twice. Best experience. The video is on TH-cam.

The smokestacks you see in the photo were brought to life. They rose from the center of the arena which became the Animals album cover.
@@kmanek1 I too saw this show twice In Philly, But your right seeing Battersea Powerplant rise was truly an Experience!
Excellent reaction.
Loved it.
Like Your enthusiasm.
Ain't seen You for ages.
Keep Rockin'🎸🎸

Been looking forward to this. Hope you enjoy it!
Dogs is supposed to end when David sings “Drag down by the stone”, you can find the alternative version in which they are separated. They connected the second part together with the synth in the final version and I gotta say, what a bold move but I fuckin dig it. It adds a mysterious feeling to it and it’s cool to imagine the scene. I imagine it when I listen to this part that the “dog” is running away from its crime on a dark night.
Love Pink Floyd but dude...make your bed and Pink Floyd is NOT head banging music, CHILL my man.
The keyboards mimicking the bark of dogs. Gilmore probably the most underrated guitar player ever.
David Gilmour to A&R man - "Yea, another guitar solo. I don't care if it takes nine f@#$%^g solos. THE TUNE IS FINISHED WHEN I BLOODY WELL SAY IT IS!"
And now do a reaction to Van der Graaf Generator. Trust me; they are even better than Pink Floyd. Start with "The Sleepwalkers" from their album "Godbluff", which is "only" 10:40 long. Or if you are really adventurous try the 23 minutes song "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" from their album "Pawn Hearts".
Fun story about the cover. That's not photoshop....its a real inflatable pig in the sky over Battersea Power Station. During the photography, it broke free & floated away but they got it back. The pig is apparently called Archie. When The Simpsons movie opened in London, in homage to PF and for publicity, they flew a 'Spiderpig' over the station. The album is loosely based on George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm which is a satire on the Russian revolution. To us Brits (and probably most of the world!!), Battersea Power Station is a rock icon now.
since you like drum have you ever listen to led zeppelin moby dick (Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (Official Audio) or Deep Purple - The Mule/Made In Japan (Remastered Edition) it will blow your mind hope i'll ever witness your reaction on those two c.noel cheers rom canada
the 'factory' is Battersea power station. it's now an art gallery. both the lyrics and the voice are Roger's. after listening to this album, you should check out the 'Wish You Were Here' album, starting with 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'
They called the album «Animals» because of George Orwell's book «Animal Farm». But while the original was a portion of typical trotskyist slander against the USSR, Pink Floyd chose to criticize capitalism and reactionism in general (the part about Mary Whitehouse in «Pigs»). Since they're kinda socialdemocratic, the critique isn't all that good, but the art is fantastic.
The music for Animals was written and performed live years before the album came out. The songs had different names back then. Check out "You've got to be crazy." It's the best live version of Dogs you will get imo. Same goes for Sheep. After you listen to Sheep, try "Raving and drooling."
Been listening to Floyd for almost 50 years and still one of my goto bands. Saw this show on my 19th birthday. No words. Welcome to the club. Great reactions!
Listen to Pink Floyd first, then make your bed. LOL! Love your reactions!
Just a note,.. the "Stone" that Pink Floyd referring to throughout this album, and other PF albums, is representative of life's struggles and challenges that we all go through.
No love for Pigs on The Wing pt1? Lol. That and part 2 are beautiful bookends to such a deep album.
You're starting to be able to pick out Roger's voice from Dave's, good. Roger's is the rougher, often more nasally vocals. Gilmour is more soft and airy but can also get gritty when needed.
A bit of terrible history which may help with a perspective with the lyrics. In the 1970's (pre-euthaniza of animals by veterinary personnell) often an unwanted dog was forced into a porous sack containing a heavy rock, driven to a bridge and thrown into the water. Thence the line "dragged down by the stone". Oddly enough a veterinary assistant told me that when an animal is being euthanized it has to be sedated firstly because what the animals body experiences during the fatal injection is similar one of drowning. Humans that Pink Floyd tried to warns us not to be.
George Orwell's Animal Farm is the album's concept.
Probably you noticed that the first half is sung by David Gilmour and the last by Roger Waters.
I keep on saying this - and it may be obvious to you - but the end lyrics to Dogs are statements, not questions: And you believe at heart everyone's a killer...who was born in a house full of pain..etc.
What's funny is to count the number of times you say (oh my God),
24 times in total, so 1 time every 42.5 seconds.
😍 Grabbed my snacks! Let's Go! 🍿🐰 #ENEGYZRBunny
The place is battersea power station in London uk closed in 1985 still there today
You should do HEART OF THE SUNRISE by YES BUT DONT DO THER LIVER VERSION
Do you play an instrument? It looks like you have a lot of good music in you wanting to be expressed 🎸😊
youd be hard pressed to fins a live version of DOGS; there are a few boolegs but nothing on album
You do a fine job on your videos but I’d like to suggest that you turned down your mic some. It’s a bit too loud. Your voice comes across over powering. But keep up the good work.
the big A Angels stadium in Anaheim 1977 for this concert.
wash your mouth , you listening to the Gods .......
Great job...That was a 28 OMG reaction!!!
It's great to see, a new pink floyd and watching them go deeper into the rabbit hole. Lol
Every 10th person viewing the video drops a comment
Gilmour plays, what, 4 or 5 guitar parts here as well as the fretless bass parts. He also plays the bass parts on Sheep.
They have written bad songs....but we won't steer you towards those so don't worry! ha ha ha
Like your channel but you have to learn when not to interrupt the music.
This is the greatest rock song ever. Glad to share your first listen!
The Floyd! You really need weed and that bed behind you! And you go on a trip!
Animals might have been the best concert I ever went to, even better than the Wall which is a close second.
Crazy good this is what your grandpaw listen to so Frosty
Your reaction made me subscribe XD
I 'm not sure but I think it was recorded in the 60's.
But the lyrics, though! 💯💥💣
Waters song writing is just top notch.
Please react Twisted Sister SMF
the music isnt quite loud enough , .but then again is it ever
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Memories...😎🎧🎼🎸
Try to imagine this song WITHOUT keyboards. synth, electric piano, organ etc., ...all 4 of them are profoundly knit together, for sure!
I seen them do this live in 1977.
You got it, babe
Animals has been my favorite Pink Floyd album for decades. Lots of fun watching your reaction. I remember always wondering exactly what DG meant by the Stone in these lyrics. I realize now he must referencing the Greek myth of Sisyphus, whose punishment in Hades was to roll a boulder (or stone) up a hill everyday only to watch it roll back down the hill. He certainly would eventually be dragged down by the Stone, so to speak.
