LISTEN CLOSELY!! PINK FLOYD - PIGS ( THREE DIFFERENT ONES ) REACTION

[@steveparker8065]

Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than a thousand Buddhist monasteries. Teachers, poets, musicians, philosophers and masters of chill.

[@secondchance6603]

With all due respect that is an underestimation of them.

Saw 'em in '94 and you, my friend gave the best description I ever heard of them!

The "Whitehouse" in "Pigs" is actually Constance Mary Whitehouse CBE; 13 June 1910 - 23 November 2001) was a British teacher and conservative activist. (copy and paste from Wikipedia). And all-around extremely unpleasant person I would expect from the song. I love your reactions to amazing talent, and happy to see you've tapped into "Pulse". So much more amazing stuff from them.

[@Plan9wood]

Thank you I was about to get into this myself. Apparently at that time she attacked everything from Pink Floyd to Doctor Who and tried to censor them. I’m sure most people over the years has take. White House literally and then inserted whatever administration in at the time that wasn’t liked to the lyrics. It is very deceptive and the person being complained about is probably long since gone and forgotten except for this particular personal attack Roger decided to make on her out of nowhere in this song. This album is genius and timeless, but this reference kind of does out a time stamp on it and makes Mary Whitehouse known to folks who otherwise would have never heard of her.

[@thomasvieth6063]

Have you noticed David on the guitar vocoder? He also did this in the Pulse Concert on Talk to Me, where he sticks this thing in his mouth and sings through the guitar, this time imitating pig noises

[@jameskelley5918]

The only reaction channel I’ve subscribed to. Just found yer page. just the best picks, I had to start at the begging of yer feed. I have so much to suggest but I’ll give ya a few! If you like Bowie-try Brian Eno, father of ambient and Bowies producer amongst many others. He had like 4 glam rock albums in the 70s. I saw some classical on yer feed- Mozart man. “A little night music” “Rondo A la Turk” “marriage of figgaro”. String quartets are pretty dope. Also check out Handel, Brahms, Vivaldi (four seasons) Jazzz? So much, but I’m thinking progy. Miles Davis “live/evil”. Herbie handcock “mr. Hands”. Dave Brubeck “time out” Thanks for letting us vibe out with you.

[@jagdeepkaul1261]

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

It refers to Mary Whitehouse, who was one of those moral crusaders that knows better than all of us what is good for us and what we should be exposed to.

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

This album was one of my must haves cause of this song and FM radio as a paper boy. Still one of my favorite songs ever!

[@anahatatutu]

Waiting for you to do Sheep! It is the most intense part of the album. Floyd has a totally different kind of mastery from Yes. Both are among the best rock ever recorded. Floyd are masters of leaving a sense of open space and time in their music. It is hard to play and record the way they did. There are really no extra notes. Grand gestures, meticulously placed and jawdropping effects, and really tightly connected concepts define their work. Don't wait too long to do Sheep. You need to hear how it connects to the album! Yes are masters of cosmic imagination. Today, there are some bands that have more speed and instrumental tricks, but none have ever bettered them in the sophistication and beauty of their composition - and their instrumental ability is still top-notch. These two prog bands are miles apart but both are great.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

Well said. I agree.

[@ericwilliams2317]

In case you're wondering. The building on the cover is Battersea Power Station, on the south bank of the river Thames in London. This was opposite my old school and I vaguely remember when this inflatable pig was flown from the chimneys. The power station was closed and derelict for many years, and has now been converted into a block of luxury flats overlooking the river, close to the new U.S. Embassy.

[@mattleppard1964]

Pretty sure Dave played bass on this one. On Sheep, he and Rog traded bass and backing rhythm parts. One of Dave’s most searing solos as the end

[@66.6FMRadio]

Pigs represent the people whom Roger considers to be at the top of the social ladder, the ones with wealth and power; they also manipulate the rest of society and encourage them to be viciously competitive and cut-throat, so the pigs can remain powerful. The whole LP is based on Animal Farm by George Orwell.

[@carlneoh5843]

Dude I've been enjoying your reaction videos. I appreciate that you don't pause it and the imaginary guitar you make. Thank you so much for reviewing my favourite music

[@mark-nm4tc]

Fun fact about the album cover: Thanks to this album, it's now famous and is the Battersea Power Station in London. That really is an inflatable pig, not Photoshop (it was 1977). It broke free of its moorings and floated off but they got it back. When The Simpsons Movie opened in London, they flew 'Spiderpig' over the station referencing Floyd.

[@ThirdEye...]

Great Album of a great Band !

[@bobmeomartino2069]

It is a flying pig and his name was Algie. If you remember the PULSE version of One of These Days you noticed they had 2 boars up high on each side of the stage-they were a reference to this album even though they didn't play anything from this album.

This is a very underestimated album but I think it’s one of their best. Animals is a concept album and is better listened to in one go. Other great concept albums: Wish you were here Dark side of the moon The Wall Don’t forget Echoes from the album Meddle; probably their best song. Start with the studio version.

That's quite an earful on the first listen. Hard to know what the hell he's talking about if you're not familiar with British politics in the 70s.

[@psbarrow]

Waters did use the ambiguity to those who didn't know about Mary to good effect in his recent tour. As he said: "The last verse is about somebody who tried to censor English television to keep sex off of it who was called Mary Whitehouse, which was convenient ’cause it means I can say, “Hey, Whitehouse,” and a lot of people think I’m singing about the White House in Washington, D.C. And I am now, because nobody cares about Mary Whitehouse anymore. She did try to clean up British television by making it sort of evangelical-Christian-friendly in ways that are unhealthy, in my view".

The Animals album is Pink Floyd's (and in particular Roger Waters') response to criticism directed particularly against them by the punk movement. The punk movement, this new protest movement from United States, will permanently shock a part of British society by rebelling against the archaic values that rule it. Titles like: (Anarchy in the U.K) sum up all punk thought, they all cultivate, besides this hatred of the system, that of their elders (rock bands) whom they consider finished and good to throw away. With Pink Floyd at the head of the gondola, which sabotaged the true values of rock and its three chords by making it too intellectual and sophisticated. To the point of finding Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) walking down Carnaby Street flanked by an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt. Wounded in his increasingly voluminous pride, Roger Waters decides to deliver his point of view (philosophical anyway) on the new world order

[@doscwolny2221]

The punk movement wasn’t constrained or led by the states. It was flourishing across the uk and anglosphere as well.

@@doscwolny2221 The punk movement is a cultural protest movement that appeared in the United States in the mid-1970s with groups like the Ramones, Blondie. It was then exported to the United Kingdom, giving birth to groups like the Sex Pistols, The Damned or the Clash.
