man, my favorite part was the dead-honesty & sincerity when you said "YO, these guys legit!!" gavin is a moFo, no two ways around it. This was as much fun as watching Dennis have a brain-fuck on schism!! thank you for sharing
"I can already see the drummer is badass..." Dude, you have no idea. :D
The drummer is also in a band called Pineapple Thief. The singer of this band is the producer of Opeth. You really should listen to this album in its entirety. Thanks Bill for the request
He’s also been the premier drummer for King Crimson on their recent tours.
He is great but not the producer of Opeth, he has produced a few albums for Opeth though. He and Mikael also have done a joint project album
Gavin H is an amazing drummer
Gavin Harrison is generally considered one of the best progressive rock drummers to ever have lived. The fact that he only reluctantly accepts that he's a rock drummer at all just adds to the magic. He did an album of big band arrangements of Porcupine Tree songs that is worth checking out just for the experience.
Gavin Harrison is a badass, PT, Opeth, and The Pineapple Thief are all good.
W8 w8 w8!! Steven Wilson has produced opeth??
There's no such thing as a bad Porcupine Tree song. They have a huge library of music too. Amazing band
I don't much care for halo. But they are truly incredible.
Lazarus, Jupiter Island...
4 chords that made a million 😂
@@TRON0314 Are you calling Lazarus a bad song?
@@ashishkulkarni9783 I don't care too much for the song on its own, but as a drummer, it's super fun to just go nuts while playing along and channel your inner Gavin Harrison haha.
One of my favorite drummers. So amazing what he can do
In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear of a blank planet are all fantastic albums. The new one is great too…
Fun fact - Alex Lifeson from Rush plays the first solo on the studio version of this song…
Arriving Somewhere.. But Not Here.. another amazing song
Steven Wilson is one of the greatest artists of the last 30 years. All around creator and never sleeps.......
The complete package: music visionary composer, director, artist, editor, and producer! Wilson said he doesn't want to be the most skilled virtuoso in the band; instead, he carefully selects the incredible talents he needs to bring his compositions to fruition ... he shares his musical vision, points them in the right direction, and then turns them loose! Brilliant, they're all top-drawer musicians. Kudos on this selection!
Porcupine Tree isn't nearly as popular as they ought to be. If you like this, I definitely suggest trying Sleep Together. They're the kind of band that uses a lot of different styles, some others I'd suggest would be Trains, Blackest Eyes, Open Car, Sound of Muzak, they're all quite different from Anesthetize but just as good (imo).
They are "the best band you have never heard of" unfortunately. Luckily one more person has been exposed to them and the genious of Steven Wilson. :)
Robert Fripp - soundscapes on “Way Out of Here” :)))))))))))
Its weird. I don't particularly like Sleep Together. Its a grower but it wasn't as immediately powerful as Even Less. Or even the Sky Moves Sideways. The way that Wilson's voice appeared like he was just next to your face in The Sky Moves Sideways really got me as a 17 year old. I had never heard something like that. And the chord sequence in the verse of Even Less is hauntingly pretty.
@@adrianaslund8605 Even Less is the one I listen to the most still. I love everything about it.
gavin harrison is an animal(drummer)what a band,check out let's sleep together and steve wilson's solo stuff "the raven that refused to sing" and "drive home" guthrie's solo at the end of that is a jawdropper
Porcupine Tree, like Tool, don't make music, they make experiences.
Tool was just the comp I was thinking of. Both harder updates of 70’s prog. Longer, musically sophisticated pieces featuring contrasting movements connected by seamless transitions. Insanely high quality musicianship in both bands.
@@smilerpink if you like that, then go back to King Crimson.
Exactly
Bit cringe though
As do King Crimson. Who Tool were inspired by. ❤️🔥
I paid a ridiculous amount of money for a VIP ticket to see Steven Wilson live for his Raven That Refused to Sing tour and it was worth every damn cent. I got to meet him and get a photo. I also saw Porcupine Tree for their Fear of a Blank Planet tour and they played the entire album from start to finish, including this masterpiece. One of the best concerts of my life.
This is from Live in Tilburg, the entire show is incredible! They sound better live, in many cases, than the albums!
I grew up on Primus, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Buckethead and Devin Townsend. You are heading for a full winning streak in my books man.
Any recommendation from Primus?
@@DaniRobot sailing the seas of cheese is their best album. Tommy the cat and Jerry was a race car driver are some of my favorite primus songs. Pork soda is also a fantastic album.
@@DaniRobot Frizzle Fry is hella good.
Yes, some of us know every note of this song. And many others. If you listen to it regularly, you won't want to cut any part of it out. It'll all make sense.
Porcupine Tree is an awesome rabbit hole to go down! I first heard this exact song (first time hearing PT) and was hooked from there! They are in my playlist and listen daily. I'm a drummer and Gavin is an amazing, incredibly amazing drummer. Gavin and Danny from TOOL were head to head in a recent Modern Drummer poll, Danny won by a little bit, it was close for a while there. Pineapple Thief is another great band with him sitting behind the drums. He also plays with King Crimson in a trio of drummers on tour.
Perfect progressive rock from super talented individuals. Gavin Harrison working his magic on the drums.
Well POLO Let's just Say it's a Masterpiece!!!
Their music from the early 2000s is where it’s at. Anything from Deadwing and In Absentia is peak porcupine tree. Before that it is more psychedelic and after is more progressive. Those two albums have the perfect amount of each.
To see the drummer see some really crazy stuff with Porcupine Tree: same concert Cheating the Polygraph. You won't be disappointed! Great song as well. Probably one of my favorites by them. Much overlooked. Thanks for this reaction!
Yeah man cheating the polygraph is such an underrated song! I like the studio version even more than the live version! Gavin goes off in both.
Every instrument is so well played, but the drumming is freaking monstrous.
Thank you for reacting to this. One of my favorite songs of all time. Such a masterpiece.
Porcupine Tree. True prog rock OGs.
"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" is another awesome PT song.
Yea the drummer is Gavin Harrison and is an absolute beast. As others said he is in a band called Pineapple Thief, and is phenominal on the songs Threatening War and White Mist (i mean all the songs, but those two specifically)
This band, this song in particular, defines what one as a fan of progressive rock or metal understands, loves and perpetuates: it is expressing an idea, a story and everything in the song does it organically at the same time. It doesn't matter if it lasts 30 minutes, there is enough coherence and musical complexity. Nothing is left over, nothing is missing, everything fits.
This song is from the album Fear of a Blank Planet, which is a concept album about the effects of the internet age on kids, all against the backdrop of the concurrent overmedication and overdiagnosis of mental illnesses in children. I don't think Stephen would ever claim that there aren't truly sick kids who need medicating, I think he's just saying that it became a crutch for psychiatrists to fall back on, not to mention a lucrative one, that had very real and negative effects on some kids.
this song plus 🍄= 🫠🫠
That look on your face….that pulsing movement in your body.
I had the same reaction years ago.
They are hypnotic.
I had the honour watching them live in Amsterdam last year. 3 hours. I still cannot comprehend what happened. What I witnessed. These guys are from another planet and they take you to their planet. Their tracks are amazing. Lyrics as well. Protest band. No happy songs.
As a fan for many many years, I actually got to see them as PT for the very first time at the Ziggo Dome in The Netherlands last year!
Never ever have I ever heard something so tight and incredibly good live, what an experience!
This song was absolutely next level when it came out. And still is.
The Drummer, Gavin Harrison is one of the best Drummers in the world!
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in 2022 on their reunion tour. So glad you dove into the longer reaction to cover them.
Porcupine Tree and TOOL! My favourite bands of all time. PT is such an amazing band. Stupendous talent in both bands! I always melt listening to any song from these! Also happy for their long awaited comeback!❤️❤️
Gets better each time I listen!
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but each time, it's like I am drawn into another space. This is excellence on every level, performance, songwriting, musicianship, concept. Just an amazing, stunning experience. Gavin Harrison is an incredible drummer. I love seeing people hear it for the first time, because I will never forget hearing it the first time myself, it just blew my mind.
Oh what I'd give to hear this for the first time again!
Steven Wilson is a musical genius, and all these guys are virtuosos on their instruments. In my opinion Gavin Harrison is the best drummer playing today (Neil Peart of Rush was a big fan of Gavin's). My favorite Porcupine Tree album is "Dead Wing," it's a masterpiece, you should react to the live version of the song "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here."
So quick to get from Opeth to Porcupine Tree … Porcupine Tree in concert was a real highlight of ‘22 for me and the new album just plays so well in my car … hope you enjoy them in your 4Runner … because it is definitely traveling tunes!
good reaction thanks my man
Love your reaction! Steven Wilson has crafted some of the most beautiful rock music I've ever heard over the past twenty years that I've been listening to his music.
that was my buddy John Wesley's solo. and Richard Barbierri on synth
Driving with the top down in the desert southwest cranking
I get goosebumps everytime I listen to anesthetize.
I've been listening to it since 8 years almost everyday.
It's my favourite song no doubt, so beautiful ♥️.
Glad they're back together miss Edwin for sure.
This song and porcupine tree/Steven makes this experience in human form for a short period of time in eternity worthwhile...
A guilty pleasure of mine is watching people listen to my favorite bands, when they’ve never heard of them and I know it’s about to completely blow their face off.
Almost the only reason why I'm on these "first" reacts channels, it's like sharing good stuff with new friends😎
What gets me is that this is live...totally amazing!!
What’s great about your videos is that while I can tell that you’ve never listened to anything like this, you’re so open to embracing the experience. To understanding, enjoying, and feeling the universal threads in the message, with the music being executed to perfection live. You’ve opened the door to like 10 albums of their material where many, many more great surprises await you. You get to enjoy this experience that connects you with many of us.
Hahaha i love the " i didnt say i wouldnt rewind 🤷♂"... great reaction
"Steven to aisle two, please. Steven to the printer section aisle two please. " 😂
Now we are talking !!
Good day all. I've seen this video a few time and I love Porcupine Tree, but your comment about them all working for OfficeMax just killed me!! Well done!
It's a track for all moods. Simple really. Keeping on Rocking.
This not a song, this an album. PERFECT!! I've seen Steven and Ptree once both live.... Amazing!!
One of my favorite bands!! Office max lol!!! These guys are geniuses!!
Seeing this song live is an experience all in its own. I saw Porcupine Tree play in Washington DC and it is the best concert I've been to in my life. Every single song they played was on point. They're the band that probably inspired me the most to start making music of my own and start playing guitar.
That drummer is the amazing Gavin Harrison!
when i put on porcupine tree as "background music" i end up sitting down and activly listening to every single song 🤷 cant help it
You should check out the video of Gavin Harrison just doing the drumming to this song. He is a beast and really puts hits talents on display in that video. I think you'd love it.
I love listening to this with you. I'm a huge PT fan.
I would suggest your watch the entire live recording they did in san Francisco, one of the best live performances ever.
Thanks for joining my gazzillions time listening to this masterpiece
Yes, I have every note memorized
Oh Yeah Into the Steven Wilson rabbit hole ENJOY The Genius of Steven Wilson
Porcupine Tree is another
level bro.
I can understand what you mean that you listen to certain songs or bands when in certain moods. For me, I have to be in the right mood to enjoy things like Motley Crue. There are several artists, however, who actually create the mood. Buckethead, Haken, Porcupine Tree, Pineapple Thief, Karnivool, Tool and others are examples where if the song comes up on my playlist or iTunes, it creates the mood.
Office Max or a 2006 tech start-up...I love Steve Wilson!
OfficeMax requires their employees to wear shoes.
I know this song by heart.
If Danny from Tool is my favourite drummer, Gavin is a photo finish second. He always manages to find the time to put some tasty stuff in there. I don’t think he can make mistakes.
Also I haven’t heard this song live, only the album version. This was as good as that!
I'd argue this is even better than the album. :)
And I was lucky enough to see and hear this live last October from the first row.
Don't forget Mario from Gojira
Both Gavin and Danny are in a level of their own! Literally couldn't pick one to save my life. My fav drummers of all time. No disrespect to Neil peart but goddamn these two blow the f*** out of my mind!
My buddy Chris introduced me to porcupine tree in 2017 and as a drummer I was introduced to Gavin Harrison. That man is time itself, always keeping the song alive with all these subtle embellishments. As drummers we love to fill musical gaps in songs, he’s one of the best to ever do it
This video made me late for work 😂👌👌👌
Gotta listen to “Time Flies” and “I drive the hearse” by porcupine tree 👌🏻
Thx for this review! PT is so far unknown and under played in MSM. So much talent and no recognition!
Man this shit hits hard
Try the final thing on my mind, by the pineapple thief. The drummer is the same of Porcupine tree. They're amazing too
In the last year, Porcupine Tree has become one of my absolute favorite bands, so diverse!
Polo... just a heads up, the "-" in the title is in the wrong spot
Thanks man it's late lol
@POLO REACTS happens to the best of us
The first guitar solo was composed and performed by Alex Lifeson on the studio version.
17min well spent. 👍
Also, you're pretty amazing , too, Polo. It's a real joy watching you go down these rabbit holes and discover whole new worlds of music. :)
Welcome my friend the Porcupine Tree. This band started out as a joke in the late 80s, and slowly progressed to this. The lead singer of this band is also the producer of Opeth, but he has done numerous other projects, including office of strategic influence., his own solar work, and has digitally remastered several albums into Dolby Atmos. Most of their songs are not as long as this, but this is for sure their greatest masterpiece.. I went to see them live in 2008, and although it was a very small venue, it was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. but there are several more things to explore now that you have explored Porcupine Tree.. your fun is just beginning.
🔊 Here me out: we don’t grew up listening porcupine tree, infact by time porcupine tree slowly grew inside yourself.
Another great long song by PT worth reacting to is Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (Live) just extraordinary !!
That passage at 15:30 is hard to believe. Truly.
oh man you keep posting all these crazy good bands.
every single album from them is so crazy good in its own way
Mad As a Hatter by Larkin Poe. It's Alice's favorite song. Off with her head!!! You won't regret it, POLO REACTS. Get the version at the Covenant House, cos this girl wails like an angel on it. Definitely best version
Lmao at the office max comment. Super ordinary looking dudes but they are insane musicians! I saw them play this song live in Switzerland this summer and it was an incredible experience!!
Gavin Harrison and Dave Weckl have the best tuned toms I've ever heard
You are now a PT fan. Don't fight it, enjoy it!!
May have been posted already, but if not - in the original recording, Alex Lifeson of RUSH crafted and played the guitar solo.
Love Porcupine Tree, another great prog band! They broke up around 2011 and Steven Wilson has some great solo projects, but they've come back together and had a ne4w album out this past year! I think they lost at least one former member though who didn't return due to other obligations. Hope you do Arriving Somewhere but Not Here live next; they always sound great live.
"I don't care what you say, this is an album."
You should listen to the whole album!
Congratulations, you're moving into prog territory now. Porcupine Tree is an amazing band. Check out "Russia on Ice" (my favorite by them). It's only 13 minutes long.
Just a masterpiece of a tune.
That is the genius of Steven Wilson.
He can write these elaborate songs AND good pop songs equally.
The whole album is amazing.
Absolute badass musicians, love these Pink Floyd Like end
Background,omfg, these guys are truly amazing, your reactions are usually spot on. Each to there own I suppose
You have been getting some top -tier song suggestions. Love to see it.
Gavin Harrison is a Drum God.
There is no such thing as bad song from Porcupine Tree.
And I like your react videos, you`re doing it right mate :)
Late to the party here, but another band with an oh-so slightly Tool vibe is the Swedish band Soen, that has Martin Lopez formerly of Opeth (and the 1st Amon Amarth album) on drums.
