[@David-iv6je]

Dude, WHICH solo? :)

[@giuseppemaggio5894]

@@David-iv6je Yeah exactly. Which one? Ahahha

[@rumking1391]

@@David-iv6je well, for me it’s the third/outro solo that is amazing… the whole song is played 1 step lower for all string instruments, but when Gilmour went into the booth to record that last one, the guitar he had was in regular tuning. You can hear him scrambling all over the fret board trying to figure out WTF is going on here. So he goes up and down, bends here, super bend there, till it clicks and he figures it out as he goes that he needs to play 1 step(2frets) lower to be « in key ». And thats the result, one of his finest!

[@David-iv6je]

@@rumking1391 Not sure which part you are talking about. My favorite is the 3 part harmony solos, which I think of as "Set pieces" (the second starts at 16:50 here). They also have a fourth guitar echo the first phrase of the theme way up high. very intelligent composition, and something relatively new to DG with this degree of expression. (He was doing it in Shine On, but not as pronounced). I always knew he used DGCFAD (one step down) al tuning so he could play open string chord forms in Dmin instead of Emin. Didn't know if that affected any of his solos. Surely The Man knew he was in D and simply soloed two frets down? For a solo on upper frets it is elementary, and independent of tuning as long as the relative tuning of each string is the same.

[@showmoke]

[@David-iv6je]

Animals is more spare, dark and heavy than WYWH, DSotM or earlier albums. The Wall went even more spare, with less complex orchestration. The "Trial" stuff in The Wall also turns some rock fans off. (I'm OK with it in the context of a rock opera/concept album.) But having figured out and gotten good at all the guitar parts throughout, I consider WYWH to be best in guitar licks with Animals a close second. But there are a few on the Wall and even The Final Cut that are chillingly good guiat parts.

They may not have used LSD to play the music but I’m sure they used it to write it.

Brit Floyd do this well.

[@andrewknight4746]

I was listening to Animals this morning and thought about your Shine On... reaction and thought I would love to see Alex’s reaction to Dogs. Imagine my surprise when I opened KZbin to see today’s reaction. Can’t wait to watch it.

[@DaverJ]

Andy should have thrown a fit over Alex’s A rating. Nothing less than S+ for Dogs is acceptable. :)

[@phillipharrison2836]

Best song on their best album IMHO. Immaculate guitar work including the 'barking' - too good

[@geoffreycarter2686]

Have been listening to Floyd since the 60s with Syd. This is my favourite album - Waters' lyrics are deliciously viscious.

Veiled reference to the Sex Pistols?!?

🤗 Saw this and..... 😏 officially late to my workout. 🥰 Let's Go! 😁🐰

[@papalaz4444244]

You really don't have to have read "Animal Farm" to listen to this album, to be honest. The only concepts from that book are the three archetypes of Dogs, Pigs and Sheep. Roger frames those ideas in his own way.

[@alastairrose4964]

Agreed. I bought this CD in high school not knowing in a few months we would be reading Orwell's book. Because of Pink Floyd I was thoroughly engaged.

[@Star_R666]

Dogs were the law enforcement/military - Pigs were the rich/politians - Sheep were citizens.

[@TheFresnan22]

I'm so happy you opened with Pigs On The Wing. It sets the tone so well for Dogs, and the album as a whole.

[@willem-janageling3907]

Starless from King Crimson is a must listen! Absolutely brilliant.

[@ianross5970]

King Crimson block all videos using their music on You Tube. A real pity as some of their music is S Tier.

Animals and Wish You Were Here should really be a full album listen.

[@SuperGratefuldad]

Probably the Floyd’s most underrated album. One of my favorites! Thanks guys!

[@alrivers2297]

Not really underrated. It's part of Floyd's big 4 along with Dark Side, WYWH, and The Wall. To me Obscured by Clouds is vastly underrated

[@jackmac6112]

This is actually my favorite Pink Floyd album - and my favorite song .... its so fun to play on guitar

[@kennethrandolph2495]

Love Pink Floyd but I never got into Dogs But yes continue on!!!

My favorite all time Pink Floyd album. Most emotional guitar solos out of all their albums. So glad you reacted to this song! Now the album!

[@keithrogers5159]

David Gilmour’s first solo album is in my top three. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience.

[@bradsense7431]

Been so long since hearing this one. Really enjoyed. Saw them perform this twice outdoors at Soldier Field and Milwaukee County Stadium. This brought back the memories this incredible sound in the night air and of course large baloon animals across the sky.

[@lovelyguy5345]

Animals is one of those albums that I always think is okay, but every time I listen to it I think it’s brilliant

[@billsantospianomore678]

The songs "Raving and Drooling" and "You've Got to Be Crazy," two songs previously performed live and considered for the Wish You Were Here album, were reworked and appeared as "Sheep" and "Dogs," respectively, on the Animals album. Long ago, my friend let me borrow a bootleg CD of a Pink Floyd concert where they performed the original, non-reworked songs.

[@jimschroeder1176]

Awesome, I recommended this song after you did Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and you guys dived right in. This may be my favorite Pink Floyd song. I think it's David's best guitar work. Animals is an underrated album. You started with Pigs on a Wing.

[@waynemarvin5661]

Underrated? By whom, exactly?

It is a masterpiece. Is one masterpiece greater than another. I think they all speak to us on different levels.

[@Marluck]

One of the fastest clicks ever. I don't know if Animals is my what I'd consider PF's best album, but it's certainly my favorite. Enjoy!

[@KenWins1]

I didn’t give my due diligence to this album until about five years ago, and I’ve been a fan of Pink Floyd since they released Dark side of the Moon, once I took the deep dive I was hooked, and one of my favorite PF lyrics is from this song “You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to” people like that are truly Dogs

[@tommythompson9565]

what about ... " and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around " ?

[@Azabaxe80]

This is the Floyd's last great album. The last real group effort before the band turned into the Roger Waters Experience. It's also probably either their best or their second best.

[@Ogilla]

To me Dark Side of the Moon is the quintessence of their work, but Animals is definitively my second favorite and their second most epic IMO.

[@agnomenamedgrimblegromble3735]

The Wall was their last great album with Waters, but The Division Bell is the group's last great album overall

[@Mike-rk8px]

The first concert I ever went to was to see Pink Floyd on this tour when they played at Madison Square Garden on July 4, 1977. I was 12 and it blew my mind. The cloud of pot smoke might have clouded my judgement a little, but it was aurally and visually beyond belief. I still have the concert booklet they were selling inside the Garden, as well as my ticket. In a way it was like having a classic Ferrari Daytona for your first car when you turned 16: I didn’t know it at the time, but there wouldn’t be that many other concerts that I would go to that would be as great as that show was. I got to see Roger Waters on September 11, 2017 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and it was also mind blowing. My parents were about 30 feet from the stage when Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock, and I would’ve loved to have seen that, thankfully it’s on film.

[@danamaguire4285]

I saw them in the Boston Garden June 27,1977. It was also my first concert and I was 16. Blew my mind. I have been to some amazing concerts in my life since then but nothing any better than the Floyd. They did all of Animals and Wish You Were Here and Money and Us and Them for encores. How about the MSG show? I wore this record, cassette and CD out.
