Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize | REACTION ( Please Don’t SkipThe Intro)

[@wheresatari6242]

You're doing all this free from patreon? You're a pimp, dude. Thank you for the sacrifice. If you decide to change your mind later, more power to you. If not, you're a beast and think of others more than yourself which is how it should be. My Mom tells me my heart is too big for my own good, as well, but there is no such thing as too much kindness. Thanks for looking out for us, man.

Steven Wilson, the single greatest musician of our time that almost no one is listening to. You could spend the next year immersing yourself in his library and not get to all of it. Check out Arriving Somewhere, Trains, A Smart Kid, Halo, What are You Listening To, the Watchmaker, The Sound of Muzak just to name a few.

[@Zealot_cs]

Vala Rising nice taste indeed. Looks like you know about our lord. Shame he’s going into a totally different direction with his new stuff. I mean, still banging tune Personal Shopper that is, but hell, it’s such a waste he no longer dwelves into the prog/melancholic music heard throughout PT and early solo stuff. Remaindee The Black Dog isman absolute modern jazz metal masterpiece.

[@closeencounter1954]

The best band you never heard of. :))) I've been loving these guys since the late 90s. They were very much Pink Floyd-ian at first, then Steven Wilson started getting into metal, like Opeth. He's also a big RUSH fan. The addition of the drummer Gavin Harrison, who joined the band in the early 2000's, just solidified the switch, but they still kept PF influences. From this live DVD, the first song, Fear of Blank Planet, really sets the mood. This is one of the greatest live concerts ever recorded.....

[@biorythmicshifter]

I was lucky enough to see them live on this tour, when they played this song you could hear a pin drop in a packed house. It was religious...truly a highlight of my experiences with live music.

PT is one hell of a rabbit hole to fall down dude ;), give Trains a listen.

[@SquigglyP]

Trains is absolutely my favorite song of theirs. Not just musically, but ... That was the first PT album I ever bought, and the first time I heard that song I instantly connected it with my grandfather, who died when I was a little kid and who was obsessed with trains. It made me think about being a little kid in my grandfather's house looking at all his train shit. And then I found out that he wrote that song out of nostalgia for his own youth, when he lived near a train station.

Look/listen to this DVD. It's like a "greatest hits" collection. Songs from their past and present.....

[@Twidgenum]

yep, would recommend this for a live album listen. In Absentia and Deadwing are a good place to start for the studio albums!

[@HollowGolem]

If you like the mellower parts of this, check out their earlier albums (Lightbulb Sun, Up the Downstair, Signify, Sky Moves Sideways, Stupid Dream). If you like the more aggressive bits, check out this album (Fear of a Blank Planet) as well as the two immediately before it (In Absentia and Deadwing). Really great music all around, though. Steven Wilson's been with other groups (Opeth's Blackwater Park album features him heavily, also there's Blackfield, another band he was in), as well as had a great solo career. He's got a new album out this year, in fact.

[@madseizon]

Make sure to get one of the high resolution mixes, Steven Wilson (singer songwriter) doesn't mess around on his mixes. Side note, he is the man behind recent remasters of Yes & Jethro Tull. His solo project has one album, The Raven That Refused to Sing, that was produced by the legendary Alan Parsons.

[@SHV_19]

Every Album is top notch. So I guess you won't stop at just 1 CD

[@janinebedfordl]

The wizard on the keyboards is a guy called Richard Barbieri who used to be in a band called Japan that broke up way back in 1982. I was so pleased when he returned to the semi frontline of music in the successful and highly lauded "Porcupine Tree"

Watchmaker is Steven Wilson solo, as is the Luminol suggestion below. Honestly, I love everything Porcupine Tree, but his solo stuff is probably even better. Ancestral, Luminol, Raven That Refused To Sing, Routine, HomeInvasion/Regret #9, No Part of Me, Abandoner... all amazing and different

I just found your channel because I'm a big Porcupine Tree fan. Now I'm hooked on your style. Peace.

[@musicmademejester]

Oh man, I asked for this a while ago. Porcupine Tree and everything Steven Wilson does is gold! Edit: This song is from a concept album "Fear of a Blank Planet". It is loosely based on a book, Lunar Park, where the book is from the point of view of the father. On Porcupine Tree's albums, it's from the point of view of the son. The son goes through the common problems in today's modern age; pill's problems, addiction ("Blank"), technology, needless consumer spending, suicide, etc. It's my favorite PT album but they have done a ton of great albums, sadly no longer together. But the main guy that started PT as a solo project, Steven Wilson, is a musical genius and is still making really good music under his own name. Try "Routine" or "The Raven that refused to sing" or "Drive Home", the official music videos for those are amazingly well done and are heart wrenching to watch but still beautiful!

[@hortensebaco11]

16:01 : "Damn ! There's more !" There you go. Porcupine tree summurised in a nutshell.

[@tictocbang7443]

You hit the jackpot. Porcupine Tree and Gavin Harrison are pure gold. Give a listen to the live version of "In Exile" from one of his other bands, Pineapple Thief.

[@Thiago_Alves_Souza]

The Flower Kings Jamie Salazar days as well.

[@chessbrainiac]

As much as I love Gavin Harrison and his influence in The Pineapple Thief...their best work is pre-Gavin. That being said though, Gavin gives them a whole new dimension live. But for The Pineapple Thief I would also suggest Part Zero, Vapour Trails, Parted Forever, November, Tightly Unwound, And So Say All of You, The Final Thing on my Mind, Preparation for Meltdown, Bitter Pill. Could have mentioned a few more, but gotta stop somewhere!

[@robertwatson6485]

[@MJ-sb5tz]

Interesting thing about Gavin Harrison is that he was a pop music drummer once he came to Porcupine Tree he had an opportunity to really showcase his skill as a drummer.I bet you most pop band drummers would probably love a similar opportunity to really show off their drumming capabilities especially since alternative and pop music is very restrictive when it comes to an artist being able to experiment.

[@madseizon]

Dive deeper into their back catalog along with Steven Wilson's (singer) solo, you will not be disappointed! While you are at it listen to Riverside, an amazing prog group from Poland. Rhey are right up there musically and lyrically.

[@aka.Mr.French]

Steven Wilson has spoken about Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" being a huge influence in his childhood... oddly, concurrent with Donna Summer's "Love to Love You." His parents gave each other those albums one Christmas, and young Steven was drawn in by the sound and production techniques of both. He's been quoted as saying he's primarily a producer (he's self-produced all the PT albums, as well as his solo discs).

[@-R.Gray-]

Besides P.Tree and his many solo albums and tours, some of which have Guthrie Govan on guitar, Steven Wilson has also taken many classic albums (eg. King Crimson, Yes, Roxy Music, etc.) and remixed them in stereo and 5.1 surround sound.

[@skippermullet69]

And not to forget, Mister Marco MInnemann on drums, he is a true beast!

Yes, that's just superb, worth watching just to hear/see Gavin Harrisons drum work.

[@DerBomster]

Yeah, Hatesong's a great choice... One big Gavin Harrison showcase!

[@Henrydingus01123]

Yes yes yes

[@kgur]

great suggestion

[@grumbleghoul]

having stumbled upon your videos reacting to Weird Al parodies, I enjoyed them so much I went into your back catalog and watched most of your Pink Floyd reactions. I loved watching you fall in love with their music! I had never even heard of Porcupine Tree before today... I now have new music to explore thanks to you!!

[@hellesndergaardpetersen8266]

Thank you, thank you Jamel for doing my fave band 😊. Another awsome PT live song :”Hatesong” or “Arriving somewhere but not here”. Steven Wilsons solo work is great too. I can recommend “Ancestral” or “Luminol”. Great reaction 😊

[@useyourmind4405]

Dude! I am stoked that you choose to explore this band! Shows your depth of understanding and appreciation of music. I appreciate you! You were watching the best drummer out there imo. They are the greatest band that people haven't heard of. Love em.

[@alecyeager6624]

Interesting that you said this reminded you of Rush. Alex Lifeson actually did a guest solo spot on this tune

[@sungyultaylor1354]

Glad to se a brother listening to and appreciating a PHENOMENAL BAND THAT TOO FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT. By the grace of God, a friend I haven't seen in 10 years introduced me to them and I've admired them ever since. These men are STRAIGHT GENIUS and Wilson is TOO TALENTED FOR WORDS. Lastly, the drum man WENT OFF in this song too

[@chriscollesano8463]

You need to watch Steve Wilson’s The raven that refused to sing or, Routine , for sure, just get your hanky ready😁

[@nirmayjmusic]

I guess Pariah might kill him alive.

[@chriscollesano8463]

Nirmay Jangade that to

[@alesmladenka6753]

I was lucky enough to see PT live back in days. As you said RUSH, Pink Floyd all together. MAN!!! Your face in the middle part was priceless :D. THX

[@DekkarJr]

The water so warm that day... Amazing....

[@Chief2112]

Few interesting notes. On the studio version of this song the first guitar solo is performed by Alex Lifeson of Rush. Also, one of Neil Peart’s favorite drummers is Gavin Harrison. He is a monster drummer. You should do more Porcupine Tree. Hatesong live in Chicago Open Car live in Chicago Arriving Somewhere live in Chicago Way Out of Here live from Tilburg

[@piperathegates2112]

Welcome to the world of Steven Wilson. Great choice for a first listen. One of the greatest mind in music. You should do Blackest Eyes next!

[@nathanhowell9548]

This whole album is brilliant. My favorite songs by PT are "Heart Attack in A Lay by " and "A Smart Kid". On this album, "Way Out of Here".

[@markselkirk9033]

Thank you for giving props to the greatest band ever conceived! Steven Wilson's solo projects are RIDICULOUSLY artistic, too. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE do a video of his song "Regret #9." Guthrie Govan's guitar solo in that song belongs on the list of "greatest solos ever," right alongside Comfortably Numb.

[@nikolateslaize]

Thank you for doing this! Sound of Muzak please, but read the lyrics too!

[@jeffspicoli2643]

I can't say I've ever heard of these guys. I did NOT expect that! They melted it down! SO sick! Thank You JJ!

[@Thomas-rp3rq]

Yooo try “shesmovedon” from porcupine tree the guitar solo🥰😍

[@Thomas-rp3rq]

The studio version is the best btw

[@ScottGreenMusic]

The B-side version from Deadwing is my favorite.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Must be the remake with Gavin on drums

[@dennypayne]

The live version on Warszawa might be my favorite PT song.

[@carlhowey5921]

You’ve seen the rest but now you’ve seen the best! I’ve been watching/listening to these guys since 1996 and they are awesome. ENJOY my friend 👍🏻

[@VogonPoet67]

For your next Porcupine Tree, may I suggest the song "The Start of Something Beautiful"

[@madseizon]

Or Arriving Somewhere But Not Here.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

@@madseizon Regardless the live versions are much better. Both live from Chicago

[@ummagumman11]

Excellent recommendation my friend

[@DanielAhdoot-kx2jc]

In my top 3 PT, which happens to be my favorite band.

[@ericpiazzi3444]

steven wilson is a genius!!!!! I had this reaction when i first heard him

[@pewukut]

This whole concert is magnificent, if you have free time, even without youtube, you should listen to it on Spotify, it's called Anestetize - Live

[@gsisk911]

pewukut Id recommend buying the dvd audio. It sounds magnificent.

[@tooltastic2086]

Very glad to see this happening! Porcupine Tree is quite the rabbit hole! Hope to see alot more of these guys here

[@SanskarWagley]

Please do this whole album! Also, Trains is one of my all time favorite songs

[@jakub120]

Porcupine Tree.. A BLAST FROM THE PAST! Love this!!

[@IANSPA]

Steven Wilson is an absolute genius with Porcupine tree and his solo work the man is off the chart.

[@gordiannot77]

I have loved Porcupine Tree for many moons.. They are Incredible❤️

[@baptoufragilise]

Oh yes yes! I'd recommend to look up Steven Wilson (the main singer) solo stuff! Please react to "Routine" or "Drive Home" music videos from him! You're the man!!

[@Memo55CS]

Porcupine Tree is an amazing band and all the concerts i've been to nobody is as tight as them. Thank you for recognizing

[@javierramos9795]

You should react to Riverside’s Ultimate Trip, there’s a bunch of different groups named Riverside make sure is the Polish band.
