Pink Floyd - Have A Cigar (REACTION)

[@AlwaysWorking2008]

This is your first Pink Floyd? Oh my goodness....... gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts! It's no exaggeration to say that listening to the Pink Floyd catalog is literally going to change your life and the way you listen to music. Yes, I know that is a BIG claim. But just wait and see. We're so happy to come along for the ride as you have your minds blown & your outlook altered. Welcome aboard! :)

What's up guys. Listen I'm 62 years old I baught Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon in 1972 and in 1975 I baught the album Wish You Were Here. If or when you get the vinyl Dark Side Of The Moon, while Listening to it, you must light up a blunt sit back and injoy this album. The same gose for the album with wish you were here. Go on KZbin and see how The Great Gig In The Sky was put together. It will blow your mind. Great job on your show. (Leroy from Youngstown, Ohio).

This came out in 75, the era of studio wizards. I chose this one as it fits with the premise of your channel as you're both producers and the song being from the perspective of a recording exec. The muted filter used at the end is realy neat in that it takes you from real life to it's radio airplay, showing that the band took the bait and the deal in the end. The 80-90's wasn't kind to bands/artists from the 70's, many had become watered down and commercialized corporate goo by then. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Pink Floyd is a huge rabbit hole, have fun Gentlemen.

PINK FLOYD is a genre all on it's own

[@WMalven]

Roger Waters - bass. vocals; David Gilmour - guitar, vocals; Nick Mason - drums, Richard Wright - keyboards. This song guest vocalist - Roy Harper. Pink Floyd was a British progressive rock band, perhaps the definitive prog-rock band. This a deep dive worth every second. Pink Floyd's albums were all recorded gapless and were meant to be listened to continuously. Each song feeds into the next. Try the songs, "Wish You Were Here," "Time," "Comfortably Numb," Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Dogs," for starters.

[@MrThumbs63]

I'm 59. You guys do an excellent job. This song is from 1975. This song is about the record industry. The lead singer is Roy Harper, but he's not a band member.. His name will pop up when you get to Led Zeppelin III.

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

Hats off to Roy Harper! ✌🏻💀

[@scifimonkey3]

Roy is a great folk rock artist with over 20 studio albums of his own and was great friends and mentor to David Gilmour, Jimmy Page and Kate Bush all icons of 70s music. His song ‘You’ from album, The unknown soldier(1980) features both Gilmour and Kate Bush although the song I think you guys should listen to is ‘Same old rock’ from his 1971 album Stormcock. It features Jimmy Page on acoustic guitar but the thing is how Roy presents acoustic guitar and vocals on that track way back in 1971.

[@philf4086]

Love this song. Displays how much they despised the record companies leeches dressed in suits, the line "BTW , which one's Pink ? " says' it all about the money grubbing execs they had to deal with. Suggest you fella's check out the album (prior to this one) "Dark Side of the Moon" which is when the band really exploded onto the world stage. If you can't do the whole album the tracks "Time" and "Money" would be a good start.

[@marcoaguilar2394]

It's ROCK, it's ALL ROCK. The groups from the 70's, their music overlapped genres. That's just how much creativity they had. I really enjoyed watching you guys get into STEELY DAN, now PINK FLOYD is another rabbit hole that is going to take you to a different place! Just wait and see.

[@fernanddurler4709]

They transcended every genre…totally unique…best band ever period

[@briangroboski4751]

This is progressive. Progressive rock was very popular in the late sixties through the seventies and is still played by many bands today. See: Tool Progressive rock draws its inspiration from nearly every other genre of music. From classical and jazz to rock and roll to the blues. The band "Yes" is in my opinion the best progressive (called prog now) band ever. Check out "Roundabout." It is a good start to the rabbit hole that is progressive rock.

[@MuddyDucc]

True story: I've cried to the guitar solo on this song 😂 This isn't even one of the fan favorites but it's my personal favorite PF song.. so many layers, the concept, the funk, the time signature switches, it's a work of ART! 🎨 Them boys were BAD 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AirplayBeats]

I agree. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@swfcocs1]

If you are new to Floyd, might I suggest reacting to "comfortably numb" "time " "echoes"(specifically the live at Pompeii version) "high hopes" "pigs""shine on you crazy diamond " and so many others. They have without question one of the greatest back catalogues in music history

[@glenncooper9898]

Listen to that entire album. That’s how they recorded their music. It runs together. Front to back.

[@pcariola1]

Pink Floyd along with Zep are rabbit holes worth going deep with with. Floyd is another British band with blues roots but most consider classic rock or maybe progressive rock. Not sure there is any band truly like Floyd I suggest Shine on you crazy Diamond next. Parts 1-7 I think. Your mind will be blown. They take their time to enjoy the music and sound. Enjoy. Wish I could experience these bands for the first time again

Pink Floyd is their own genre, you won't be able to lock them down as to who else they sound like because they don't sound like anyone else and nobody sounds like them!! Try the song "Time" from their "Dark Side of the Moon" album or "Comfortably Numb" from their"The Wall" album and you will see. Sometimes they have extremely long intros to build up to the song which is always worth the wait so don't get impatient! Their musicianship and lyrics are always top of the line

As others have said, you are in for the ride of your life with Pink Floyd-the best band to ever walk this earth. Without reading many comments yet, I am certain that you have been inundated with recommended tunes. I am sure they are all correct as you can't go wrong. I will just say that Dark Side Of the Moon, Wish You Were Here (the album this tune you're reacting to is on), Animals and The Wall are all masterpieces. I personally would add in Meddle to those four, which includes Echoes-a must listen to both from the album and live from Pompeii. Other than Meddle, the other four albums are meant to be heard all at one time. I realize that is a tall order when you're posting YT reactions-but just to let you know, each song from those albums is part of a collective theme. Enjoy!!

If you ever wondered, the guy on the cover really is on fire. You already know everything there is to know probably, but yeah, their music is heavily rooted in blues (as is all of rock n roll), this generation of English kids grew up on Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, all the Kings, Elvis and The Beatles and many more. Pink Floyd (Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, thats who the Pink and the Floyd are) just took that and went somewhere in outer space with it.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Pink Floyd, formed in 1965; named after two old bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Besides Syd Barrett who left in '68 (and that's another story), there's David Gilmour on guitar and vocals, Roger Waters on bass and some vocals, Richard Wright on keyboards and some vocals, Nick Mason on drums. They are hands down one of the greatest bands there ever was. Their album Dark Side of the Moon (came out in '73) stayed on the charts for 741 weeks. That album and Wish You Were Here album (came out in '75) are meant to be listened to in one sitting as the songs flow together, which is why this song sounds like it ends abruptly. This song is on their Wish You Were Here album. It's about corruption in the music business; guest vocalist Roy Harper. They were considered "progressive" rock, although are really a genre of their own. Their live shows are legendary. You guys are going to love this rabbit hole and that's an understatement.

Stumbled upon your channel just recently gentlemen, and very much enjoying your reactions! Much like Steely Dan, Pink Floyd is basically a genre unto themselves. Psychedelic rock, progressive rock, those might be the closest descriptions. They pioneered many studio tricks and use of electronics to make their amazing sounds. David Gilmour is on my Mount Rushmore of guitar players. You don't get it as much in this song, but his guitar playing is perhaps the most emotive of anyone that's ever played the instrument. You'll see. I do HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest that when you get to Dark Side of the Moon, one of the best albums ever made, you do it from start to finish. And you have to get the vinyl as you've mentioned with other albums. Pretty much all the tracks run from one right into the other so listening on vinyl is best. This is another rabbit hole to be sure. Enjoy the journey, you're going to LOVE it. Oh, and I will also say, Pink Floyd has pretty much always been best enjoyed while relaxing with some good headphones and a little something to puff on. 😁

You guys rock! When the record company says "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think... Oh, by the way, which one's Pink? (a total slam to the record company). Here's the history of the band's name... Pinkney “Pink” Anderson (b. 1900) & Floyd Council (b. 1911) 2 American south eastern musicians. Both born in S. Carolina Both were Piedmont Blues style musicians. (alternating thumb-bass supporting melody finger picked on treble strings) Floyd Council backed up Blind Boy Fuller on some projects. So... this is one reason why Pink Floyd is so great. They don't just make songs. they create an experience!

Pink Floyd Albums: Dark Side of the Moon 1973 Wish you were here 1975 Animals 1977 The Wall 1979 Only Animals can really be split into songs, all the others run from one song to the next as a complete entity. In 2012, Dark Side of the Moon was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The Dark Side of the Moon has been certified 14× platinum in the United Kingdom, and topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, where it has charted for 963 weeks in total. With estimated sales of over 45 million copies, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album, and one of the best-selling albums worldwide.

Pink Floyd is Legendary, they are an Experience man! Pink Floyd was formed in London in1965, from 1968 to 1985, Pink Floyd had 4 members. Roger Waters, (bass), David Gilmour, (guitar), Rick Wright, (keyboards)and Nick Mason, (drums). In 1985 Roger Waters quit the band, and the three remaining members carried on as Pink Floyd from 1986 to 2008, when Rick Wright died of cancer. They have almost used at least three background singers in the studio and live, also using more touring musicians at live performances. None of these singers and musicians are in the Pink Floyd band. Pink Floyd has sold over 250 millions worldwide, they are one of the bast selling Rock Bands of all time. Pink Floyds' roots are in Blues, American Blues, just like virtually every other Rock Band to come out of England in the 1960s. They took their name from two old time American Blues guitarists from the mi 1900,... ... PINK Anderson, (1900 - 1974), and Floyd Council, (1911 - 1976).

[@z-man2343]

This album is their 1975 follow-up to the legendary, epic-of-all-epics, Dark Side of the Moon. Overall, the album deals with separation, isolation and the pressures put on artists by the music industry that can cause emotional breakdown. This tune in particular is their lament against the nameless, faceless industry execs who care nothing about the artists except for how much money they can make off them. The masterwork "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a mystical, heart wrenching tribute to their dear friend, founder and former bandmate Syd Barrett. David Gilmour: vocals and guitars Roger Waters: vocals and bass Richard Wright: keys and background vocals Nick Mason: drums Pink Floyd doesn't fit into any one genre, they incorporate many styles, techniques and atmospheric elements into a sound that is uniquely theirs. No other band like them...not even close.

[@z-man2343]

Syd barrett--the mastermind behind PF, came up with the name on the spur of the moment. the Tea Set was performing before them, so Syd took the first names of the 2 men playing in the tea set, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The lines," the band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.." oh by the way, which ones pink?, is to show their lies and point towards true intent -..I love the line, "We're so happy we can hardly count"

[@dannyreeves4782]

I’m getting old, but we always analyzed songs to the point where we knew the meaning. When this song came on we all said “ fuck the record executives”. Then when “wish you were here” started we all said a Hail Mary to Syd Barrett. Again, I’m older, but damn things once meant a lot more. The fucked up part is that they actually wrote the music that they played, now it’s all performed by someone, written by someone else, and auto tuned. That’s why no one will remember it like this song.

There are plenty of great individual tracks in the Pink Floyd catalog, but really their albums are where its at -- "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", "The Wall" -- Otherwise, for tracks, check out "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Time", "Us And Them", "Money", "Welcome To The Machine", "Wish You Were Here", "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" -- Parts 1 through 9 ... cosmic music ...

These guys are unique, and they are a genera. You just opened a door that will change you. Pack your bags because you are about to go on a spiritual journey. I have been listening to these guys for 50 years and I listen to them every day. Welcome to the world of Floyd gentlemen.

#HeadsUp 😉 Get use to "abrupt endings" and/or "interesting starts" depending on which PF songs you hear 1st off an Album as they are to be played in order. 🥰 Looking forward to this journey! 🤔 Also Rush, 🥺 please & thank you! 😁🐰

This Prog rock at it's best. They mean this most sincere.

This is one of Roger Waters' songs about how much he hates record executives and the music "business" in general. Gilmour's guitar work here is phenomenal!
