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.

That's why people love him so much.

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.

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.
@herbiesnerd2 жыл бұрын
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.

I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know.

Furthermore, he acknowledged the other King Crimson guitarists, Adrian Belew and Trey Gunn, along with Buzz Osborne from the Melvins, as his biggest influences.[138]

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

This is epic Pink Floyd. The word that best describes this song is "MONEY." When the "THE WALL TOUR" came out they needed extra security and the local guy in Houston Texas called our Dojo. Master Yeager, myself, and one other Black Belt named Wyatt took on the gig. We met everyone backstage and let them know not wander in to people because our system of Martial Arts was agresive. As we were headed to the stage a couple of dudes tried get to the band and both were twtsted around and the flipped like ragged dolls around the path to the stage. David Gilmore asked if we could teach him that. After the tour ended he flew into Houston each week for private lessons in Combat Hapkido.

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!😎

7/4 time signatures are rare in rock n' roll. Rare enough in jazz.

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

In the Pulse Live version...which you should watch...David adds additional lyrics: 'think I need a Lear jet...maybe two'. BTW, the quotes 'cruising for a bruising' etc, which pepper the album, were questions on cards about life the band asked people around the recording studio to answer. Paul McCartney was recorded, but never made the cut.

The first time I heard Pink Floyd was at a building at Incline Village, NV, (Lake Tahoe '75) where they had a home made screen to show a ski movie, called Daydreams. The soundtrack for this movie was the Dark Side of the Moon. I'll never forget that experience of hear this freaking great album while seeing some fantastic skiing and jumps.

Asia asked how they did the sound. This was the great work of the genious Alan Parsons who was the engineer who mixed the Album. Check out him and His band The Alan Parsons Project. Sirius/Eye in the Sky Hyper Gamma Spaces Lucifer Don't answer me ...and many more great songs

There are many pedal effects guitarists can use. Perhaps it's one of those. When you see guitarists playing live, you may notice them stepping on pedals to adjust tone and effects. Also, I've probably heard this song a thousand times and it still wows me every time! Just incredible.

We went to a Dark Side of the Moon experience in Edinburgh Scotland not far from where I live for my Dad's 70th birthday. It was in a cinema, the seats reclined right back so you could watch the projections onto the ceiling and they played the whole album, start to finish, so trippy but amazing 😀

Asia, for guitar, it's a Wah-pedal, a filter to make the sound go low and high when you move the pedal. Jimi Hendrix was one of the first ones to use it. Same effect as a muted trumpet like in jazz.

Stationed in Pensacola while in the Navy in mid 80's. A dancer at the local strip club always had this song in one of her sets. She was my favorite dancer at Trader Jon's.

Sound engineers. UK had quite a number of engineers who brought their studies of sound to people like the Beatles, pink Floyd etc . . . The sound desk allows the mix to be tailored . . .

Hey, I think you should both listen to Pink Floyd the way we listened to them. Their albums had themes that connected them and if anyone spoke they were shushed!!lol You just close your eyes and go on a mini vacation😁😁Oh and never stop a guitar or drum solo, trust me you will appreciate them so much more. Stay safe😎

It's a 7/4 time signature for the first and last part of the song, but the middle is pure 4/4 rock.

This song, this song!! I personally took this song in my younger years as a celebration AND a warning - early in the song, bouncy and happy (money!), then goes through a journey of giving up personal morals (no more of that goody good bulls**t") to get more (money!), then the excessive spending on cars, so called "good life", Lear Jets and lifestyle (money!) - then a long instrumental interlude where we get lost (I always felt it as getting lost in the world of the money lifestyle) - and, as with you, the surprise and realisation of the song, as he starts singing again - the awakening to the realism of what money does (money! its a crime), and did (lost friendships, family, ties). A pity that famous quote is always misquoted - its not "money is the root of all evil", its actually "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil" (nutshell breakdown) I'm pretty certain this was directed at record companies etc, because of what a lot of them actually do to musicians Your reaction was great

I've owned a copy of this album, in multiple media formats, since 1973. This whole album is best listened to in its entirety from beginning to end, with a pair of great headphones in a dark room, completely relaxed.

Gilmore used an echoplex on his guitar the "muting" is done on the soundboard by the recording engineer taking the wet(reverb)sound to a dry(no reverb)sound and Gilmore removing the echo(delay) on his guitar 👍🏻😁🤠

David Gilmore is a genius guitar player. How he got those tones and effects back then is amazing! If you notice he was also using the "wha wha" pedal to play under the main guitar part. I guess they call it overdubbing,,, This song shows his genius. It must have took some time to record this track... good reaction.. Love you guys!

The whole of Dark Side is an experience I bout my first copy the day it was released (Floyd had been playing most of the material at gigs I wore out the first disk in about 18 months and I had to buy a second. I still have both vinyl disks This is quite simply one of the best albums ever IMHO

This song also goes from a 7/4 time signature to a 4/4 during the guitar solo then back to the 7/4 in the final verse.

They can contort the strings and release them to make different sounds. They also have a bar that changes the tension on the strings to manipulate the sounds that can be made. Distortion pedals can also be used. Hendrix, Jimmy page, David Gilmour, and Stevie Ray Vaughn are my favorite guitarists who have fun with guitars

The thing you put into a horn to mute the sound is called a "mute". Back in the day it was no surprise to see a horn player use his hat, usually a derby in the old movies.

Everyone should own this album. Everyone on earth. Facts. 💯 there’s something in there for everybody.❤️🎼❤️foot pedal and/or the Wawa stick at the bottom of the guitar. Edge from U2 has like 32 sounds for his pedals. That’s what you hear- with a synthesizer too.
