[@zacknicley8150]

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.

[@seraiharper5553]

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.

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.

[@hewjbacca]

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!!

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

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.

[@williamdecker1175]

Yes. Additionally, he is palm muting many of the notes toward the very end of the solo giving them a very staccato punchy sound.

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.

[@LordEagle]

👍😎

[@MrDiddyDee]

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.

[@GrandmaEllen]

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.

I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. 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.

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!

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.

[@robertlear2735]

Some of my favorite solos in this song

[@herbiesnerd]

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.

[@Rogerwatersfan91]

The solo is in 4/4, not 7/8

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Muted Sounds on a guitar can be achieved by using the palm of your strumming hand on the strings, can also mute with the fingering hand. With different muting techniques you can get different sounds. On electric, you can turn the volume all the way down, strike the note or notes, and then turn the volume up and you can get an almost keyboard sound out of it. To do it quickly, depending on your guitar, you can use your pinky to revolve the sound dial up and down while you pick notes. There are all kinds of tricks, not to mention pedals that can electronically alter a sound in different ways (chorus for example, or echo, etc) But as far as this song, I'm not sure.

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.

Aircrew school in early 1984, followed up with HC-16 helicopter squadron in Pensacola (next to the Blue Angeles). I was 22 with a Harley and dating one of the 40 year old dancers from Trader Jon's. Ended up at NAS Point Mugu, CA and 3 deployments to Antarctica as a Polar Crew Chief flying in twin engine Heuys with VXE-6.

Far out is right brother. The great good old days. You hear it now, don't you? I was a junior in high school when they released it. God Bless You. Oh, and sister looks too cute eating up those guitar runs.

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.

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.

the drummer in this song was killin' it!

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.

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 👍🏻😁🤠

[@CaptainNemo1701]

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.

[@rodmckeav1159]

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😎

[@Mymloch]

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

[@darkpitcher5242]

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

[@marthaz]

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.

In 1997, Tool named King Crimson, Melvins, and Peter Gabriel's Passion as common influences on its development.[21][note 1] In describing their wide range of styles, critics have noted that they are "influenced as much by Pink Floyd as by the Sex Pistols."[134] In a 1993 interview, Adam Jones mentioned Joni Mitchell, King Crimson, Depeche Mode, and country music as being among their inspirations.[28] In 1997, Maynard James Keenan named Hejira by Joni Mitchell, Holy Money/Greed by Swans, Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin, Red by King Crimson, and Passion by Peter Gabriel as his five favorite records.[135] Danny Carey cited Bill Bruford and Alan White of Yes as his two biggest rock influences,[136] in addition to Bruford's adventurousness in electronic drums.[137] In the same way, Jones stated that Robert Fripp's performances with King Crimson caused him to "wake up" to music as a teen. 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]

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

[@richardbarton6146]

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!

[@buddybangs9445]

I'm pretty sure Asia was talking about, half way through the solo, David Gilmour took most of the effects off his guitar and played clean, then came back in with the effects. It sounds killer.
