"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" Recreated

My project this summer was a faithful recreation of this song from Pink Floyd's awesome 1977 album "Animals." Years ago I similarly re-recorded "Dogs" (on 8-track tape!) - this time I wanted to do a full video treatment. Stove Clock plays keyboards.
Gear:
Atlansia Stealth bass, recorded direct
Ibanez Roadstar II guitar (effects: Line 6 POD, AmpliTube, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phaser)
"Talk box" effect is an old Walkman earpiece wrapped in plastic and pumped with a loud signal from the POD
Roland V-Drums
Univox Maxikorg analog synth
SampleTank organ & piano sounds
Shure SM-58 & SM-57 dynamic mics (the latter inside a toilet-paper tube)
Yamaha SPX90 reverb, circa 1986
Assorted Pro Tools delay, compressor & limiter plug-ins

June 28, 2017: Today I'm beginning a full-on recreation of "Sheep."

[@ryanmorgan3903]

EddieCurrentCovers looking forward to it!

[@RobertLoves]

Please do, I know it can't be easy but this is great!

[@bocobob]

When will sheep be done?

[@EddieCurrentCovers]

Just finished!

The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh, by the way, which one’s Ed?

[@MrBartender49]

He's pink

I almost gave a literal answer to this. Close one.

[@gtidubthee1]

Besides being able to play every instrument in this song flawlessly, what blows my mind is how great the singing is

[@Rasputin443556]

Yeah. Pink Fraud could have used him to sing all of Roger's bits. If he spat on someone, some folks never would have known the difference.

[@TeamMastaPr2]

What blows my mind even more is the fact that he sings while playing the bass line, even when Roger Waters just played rhythm guitar on the original track as the bassline was played by David Gilmour.

[@ikaikametcalfe4432]

@@TeamMastaPr2 i did not know that.

[@tonypoore440]

​​@@TeamMastaPr2That is correct, not too many people know that. It's also pretty cool, and an obscure fact that Roger played rhythm guitar on it. Good comment TMPr2.

[@howardmishne4840]

Why did it take KZbin 11 years to provide this to my feed? I could have watched it a million times by now.

[@tillyny]

My thoughts exactly! 🤔

[@shineon808]

Why nobody is talking about the BASS playing... god he played like David Gilmour and sang nicely at the same time!!!!

[@chris-pee]

Usually: yes. But in "Pigs" not: Gilmour played fretless bass (check wikipedia).

[@shineon808]

I meant the guy in this video, and btw Gilmour played the whole bass part Fret and fretless and played that thunderous guitar solo . you can do all during recording FYI like in Fat old sun

[@samcarroll6210]

Waters played rhythm guitar and Gilmour played bass and lead

[@chippchipp1]

+Batboy Carroll did Roger really play the rhythm guitar parts on this track? That's awesome, I always assumed David played the bass parts and all of the guitar parts, because the rhythm guitar part is so good

[@jwright123456789]

I don't know what's better here: the bass, the guitars, the singing or the drums. Or being able to play them all!

[@VinEllis]

Okay, you sound almost exactly like Roger Waters. I honestly would think this is him if I didn't know otherwise

[@wasianwonderer]

I know I'm almost a decade late, but this cover is incredible man. Sounds just like the record.

[@notwallpaper]

F******ck! This just came up in a video playlist and it wasn't till I closed all the windows I was working in did I realise it was a cover. I've played Animals thousands of times in the past 40 years - studio and live - and this is brilliant.

[@alanw505]

For a full decade now I have been periodically revisiting this great recreation. Still sounds great. Check mate, Atheists.

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

That sounded exceptionally good, even the guy on that Scooby-Doo drum kit.🥁👍

[@jaysunten]

Absolutely amazing ! 🤘😫🤘 When I was 15, another kid swiped this LP from his step-dad and gave it to me as a joke. I ended up loving it for the rest of my life. I feel bad looking back now.

[@hasan-wq9dg]

I would listen to this like the original at anytime and i wouldn't tell the difference at all because this is outstanding at absolutely nailed at every aspect

[@AK4TsEv3N]

This is reaaaaaally impressive. Amazingly done. I think it is the best cover I've ever seen.

[@MichaelEMJAYARE]

Amazing vocals. Its all top notch but damn you sound just like Roger!

[@hubertnetkowski9128]

10 years after this. Im here and im really impressed. love the whole album so much

[@RealBono]

1:22 That woo was eerily spot on.

[@jeremysears4263]

WOW!!!!!! I used to play keys on this in a band year ago

[@razorcade]

I don't say this about a lot of covers, mainly because they are not true enough to the original, but you guys really nailed this one. Have to say that direct duplication is almost a prerequisite for Pink Floyd tunes.

[@MoonLight-id9kk]

Thanks for paying such a nice tribute to a Floyd song that sometimes gets forgotten .... except to Floyd fans of course !! ✌️

[@joevanseeters2873]

WOW!!!! Blown away! You sound like Roger himself in the studio in 1977 singing this masterpiece. Amazing you were able to re-create this masterpiece so faithful to the original rendition of the song....all by yourself too! INCREDIBLE. There are not many people in the entire world that could do this amazing feat.....let alone sound almost exactly like the studio recording of the song! Well done sir.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Credit to your keyboard player too! Awesome job as well.

[@Maurizio70GilmourFan]

I don't have words for such perfection, only do more than this! That's Pink Floyd all-in-one, GREAT!

[@snowmanfl]

11 yeas later….this is still the best cover I’ve found for this song….

[@zeroskillz2427]

Damn near made me Cry..How close to the Original you got..its insane..Kudos Man.. This Song reminds me of a Friend whom Passed away in July 2012.. before I got Married.. God Bless him..strange but the Guitars on here make me think of him and this Song..

[@drummer375]

This is absolutely outstanding!! The vocals are excellent with those effects.

[@000savery]

From an old PF absolute fan........... Awesome! you captured the true sound, I listened to it 5 times in a row,I love it, well done!

[@josemiguelcarrizo7373]

Great job. When I see this kind of stuff I always wonder how many of you are professional musicians.

[@cyruss2946]

Ha ha ! Brilliant idea to convert a Walkman earpiece to an amazing Talkbox! Loved your idea! My hat is off for you.

DAMN Good job, Eddie!! I wish you lived near me, we could start a Pink Floyd cover band and play Floyd influenced originals. You have the heart of a true Pink Floydian!! :) Shine on, you awesome diamond!

[@SoNextJenn]

You can’t fool me. This is identical to the original

[@dannycarlow8204]

No, it isn't even close.

[@progrockguitarx4062]

absolutely top-notch performance

[@rainkevinbow]

WOW goosebumps all over you sound like roger

[@joevanseeters2873]

One of the best cover renditions of "Pigs" ever done...........PERIOD. Very accurate representation of the song as well. And the fact this man plays all the instruments except one is a feat in itself. Especially attempting to mesh all these together. I can't imagine how many different times he had to play through this song to get enough satisfactory recordings to accurately mesh everything into a song. Absolutely incredible.

[@ikaikametcalfe4432]

Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band, man. And usually covers can never do them justice but holy shit brother. That was awesome.

[@nadir7467]

[@EddieCurrentCovers]

I am working on "Dogs." Slowly but surely.

[@DiegoSita]

Just add Alan Parsons or any other producer who's worked with PF and we have a one man PF.

[@rene0]

My favorite song. Not sure why it took youtube 8 year to show me. Very good job, and so your other PF covers, i love it.

[@K31TH3R]

After many years of delineating, and having plenty of songs I absolutely love from many very different genres, I have also determined that this is my definitive favorite song. To me, "song" almost seems like a much too simple term for what this is. Songs are things I put on in the background of life for ambience, I simply can't do that with Pigs, no matter how many countless times I hear it, it always captures my complete focus. I also partook in a little experiment and synced the original to this recreation (with a high end DAW PC) and found that, sonically, this is about as perfect as you're going to get. The tones are reproduced SO well and this guy absolutely nailed that aspect in nearly every single sound, it's an incredible achievement. But I also learned that the pacing of the recreation is not anywhere near as accurate as the tones are. I'm not sure if the pacing changes were intended by the creator, and probably much to the chagrin of the creator, I was very happy to find out the pacing is slightly off, because I now know the original recording has subtle timing changes, and those subtle timing changes are very likely what makes this piece of music so "attention grabbing." While I definitely applaud the creator for showing so much love to the original recording, I found that this recreation just made me crave to experience the original again.

[@Sheethen]

Just searching on youtube to learn this song on guitar and came across this amazing video. This is actually so cool and accurately played

[@davidsiegeld576]

Bravo!! You captured so many subtle and just crazy, additive nuances that makes your cover a masterpiece (as was the original). Thanks for the angle on the solo which is going to accelerate my learning! Can't wait to go see/hear more from you!

[@giannitamborra]

Meravigliosamente perfetto. Reinterpretazione magistrale di un capolavoro assoluto della musica mondiale. Complimenti davvero.

[@braindamage70]

I said it before and I'll say it again, David Gilmour and Roger Waters were at their best in "Animals".

[@fireonshakedwnstreet]

Their best.

[@WinstonFoster]

I come back to this video again and again. It is the best cover I have ever heard of a Floyd song.

[@OhFishyFish]

Meanwhile I can't even play ONE instrument properly. Damn you, talented bastards!

[@koslim]

Well done sir.. Some people are just talented and we are happy that we crossed paths with them..

[@K31TH3R]

There were times where I didn't even realize I was listening to a cover, especially during the instrumentals, it was that close. Really, an amazing job.

[@gregcoldwell1531]

Really great job. vocals fantastic! one of the hardest things to get right and you nailed it.

[@brianpatrick6102]

All difficulties of recreating a studio recording such as this aside, you did a fantastic job here. One of my favourite Floyd tunes for sure.

[@THE_BOGET]

This is fantastic; you have a wonderful voice

[@BenCulture]

I see I'm already subscribed, but I'm surprised I haven't commented on this already. You must have done something else as equally impressive! Love the guitar "swells" and the talk-box solo! Also like the leads that are tonally different, like in the A blues section. Though not as rough in tone, they fit your version nicely. Damn good singing, too. It's not an easy vocal, pretty high-pitched for a man, and that falsetto _"cry"_ is quite a feat. The ways in which you sound different are fine. I want to know, are you using three mics for your vocals, and why? I would have liked to hear the original delay setting on _"charade you are",_ but it's cool. The drumming is great, I love the stereo spread, and they sound as good as an acoustic set. A lot of guitarist/bassists can play some keyboards, but drums, no way! You're an excellent bassist, BTW. I think the original, though fretless, was played with a pick, but fingerstyle gives you much more dynamic control, so kudos! The first rhythm guitar part was doubled on the original, giving it more "balls", and I would have advised you to do the same. Also, the ending solo could have been mixed louder, a bit more dirty and reverb'ed, but your actual playing is pretty much flawless, certainly better than I could do. I wouldn't have minded the song going on longer! _Animals_ is my favorite PF album, and this is the warmest-sounding song on it ... and you've nailed both the accuracy and "heart" of it! It's quite an accomplishment, and I would love to see Gilmour or Waters react to it. I think they'd _have_ to give you thumbs up!

[@bassmeg]

OUT-SMEGGIN-STANDING!!! Rare to find such an accurate and well done cover!! Thank You!!
