THIS BASS LINE!!! First Time Reaction to Pink Floyd - "Money"

[@BigTimeRushFan2112]

When a 50+ year old album is still considered one of, if not thee, greatest albums still of all time. Look up how many weeks it stayed on the charts. Prepare to be shocked! hint, hint....nearly 19 years straight.

[@nashkita77]

One of the greatest bands ever. If not the greatest.

[@GrahamDay-ec9de]

Like most of Pink Floyd you always have to remind yourself how long ago this was made and it is still listened to today. It's how you know a band is Legendary.

[@DariaBilowus]

Pink Floyd isn't just music, it's an experience. ✌🏽🤘🏼

[@RogerGosdin-wv9iz]

"The Dark Side of the Moon" album has now been on the Billboard magazine charts for over 1,000 (yes, you read that right - one THOUSAND) weeks! That is a record that NO other album could ever HOPE to break! Just yet another reason to listen to the album in its entirety! 😊

[@danielhanson4326]

That album is still at the top of the chart so far as i'm concerned

[@TheCoverless]

"Money", Should never have become something we needed to survive! It was intended to be for things that we couldn't trade or barter for, so we could still get something that we wanted...not needed. Our daily needs should be shared, traded , bartered, even given outright to all! Skills, trades, knowledge, we all have things that others can't do to be useful and helpful to others that can do things we cannot. Only when we can't provide a useful item to obtain a "Want", should we resort to money! Sadly, greed is a more powerful emotion than empathy! Hugs, kindness and much love I wish for you Stacey!!! Your content reactions are valued here! Please continue.

[@Llanchlo]

Money was the first (recorded) use of sax by Pink Floyd. Came as a huge surprise to those of us who had already been following them for a few years. Fitted just perfectly.

[@MrBDB001]

Not bad for a fifty-two year old tune. Just incomparable a band for the ages. Another great reaction.

[@kens32052]

Just as relevant today as it was back than.

[@syzygy21055]

Everybody on the absolute top of their game in this one - David on guitar and lead vocal, Roger on bass, Nick on drums, Richard on Keyboard, Dick Parry on sax. The 7/8 beat gives it a unique extra kick, then switches to an upbeat 4/4 interlude with one of David's all-time best guitar solos, then back again. Just an absolute banger. One of the few times PF recorded a song meant to gain wide radio airplay, which it certainly did and still does. The next song is Us and Them. Love all your PF reactions, please keep it up!

[@kennethgodwin7769]

It's definitely a banger!

[@ulisserossin1770]

In my knowledge it’s a 7/4 beat.

[@976PAIN]

@@ulisserossin1770 Yep 7/4

[@jonhenke1504]

That song that money transitions directly into is Us and them which you have reacted to!

It would be cool on Pulse because they run together as well. Actually, the whole album of Darkside runs together.

[@cFull_Rtrd]

@@jlipp958 Pulse is such an inferior Pink Floyd show. No Roger. Why is the internet hive mind so obsessed with this show??? Because of one solo? WOW

[@jlipp958]

@@cFull_Rtrd I wish Roger and David were on the same page the entire time. The fact is, they are not. You can very easily identify 4 full fledge solos on pulse. Numb, Sorrow, High Hopes( a little less of a full) and Money (Sax). If Pulse is an inferior show, why was so much money made from it. Why is the stadium full?

[@cFull_Rtrd]

@@jlipp958 It could have made a trillion dollars and everyone in the world claim it was the best but the fact is this. NO ROGER = SHOW SUCKS. Everyone in the world is wrong. Simple. The guy they have singing for Roger is not good. Hearing him sing reminds you how bad the show sucks. If it was MLOR and DB songs then great. That's the hill I die on.

[@jlipp958]

Agreed whole heartedly !

[@kevinwilson1228]

As a paid recording engineer, this is one of the most underrated engineers/producers of all time !!! Alan Parson is 1 of the # 1 of the greats! The clash register sequence was recorded in a clock store, setting each individually. The entire album was recorded in surround sound or 4D before its time , some may refer to it as "Quadraphonic

[@Claude-c4u]

I saw them play the entire album in 1975 at Roosevelt Stadium. The sound system was set up in quad. Also, the SACD in surrounds incredible.

[@SometimesIamOmniscient]

I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." 🎸 To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉

Another great Floyd reaction Stacey. As an English Floyd fan since the 60’s it really is wonderful their music is still being enjoyed by so many in 2024. One of my personal favourite tracks is Coming Back to Life, and their performance at Pulse in 94 for me is truly wonderful and brings a tear to my eye when I watch it. I do hope you’ll watch the Pulse version at some point.

[@Neil_BT]

The switch from the 7 to 4 for the guitar solo is something that "just happened" according to Rick Wright in the documentary they did for the DSOTM episode of Classic Albums. Magical. The bass line was originally going to be much slower and more 'bluesy', but it morphed in to this brilliant piece of music.

[@AlBarzUK]

I’d struggle to find another 7/8 time.

[@FrankDiRocco-yp1dm]

This song is expanded and improved in the Pulse concert version. I highly recommend it.

My friend John came by my house one day early in 1973 with this album. We had by then already heard Money on the radio (FM, of course), and so he bought it the first day Scotti's record shop got it. My mom was out so we sparked up, dropped the record on my turntable, and proceeded to listen to it end to end over and over.

Great reaction. One thing not too many people notice about this song is that the main parts are in the time signature of 7/4. The guitar solo is in 4/4, then the song goes back to 7/4, and the odd time signature is hidden masterfully with the bass and drum pulse underneath everything. Another masterpiece from Pink Floyd. :)

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

Please don't apologize, Stacey. It's wonderful watching you experience this work of art piecemeal. Yes, when you're ready to do a full album listen, you're appreciation of it will increase. But any reaction you post is a treat! 😃

[@SNP-1999]

It's not just Roger's bass, which is stupendous, his vocals and great lyrics, but also Nick Mason's fantastic drumming and percussions that made this song an icon of rock music history - not to forget David's wailing guitar solo and Richard Wright's background synth and Dick Parry's brilliant saxaphone solo. Superlative ! ❤

[@firedoc5]

Great example of how the entire album of Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album by the way of using the sound of effects of the coins and cash registers in the intro, which were real sounds. It's a song about having money and all the benefits of it, but along with the warning of the trappings and evils that can come with it. And yes, that bass-line just adds to the hook and puts it on another level. You are definitely getting what Pink Floyd is all about and can't wait for you to do more of their other songs and albums.

[@RobXHEphotosPs37.29]

Also props to Nick Mason, terrific drumming on this one! They toured the music from this album almost a year before it was released.......it was originally called Eclipse.

[@flickwtchr]

I like your disclaimer that you will get around eventually to listening to their works from beginning to end as their intended "concept album". It makes me appreciate the dilemma of not really being able to do that, until you have done the first time reaction to select songs. I really enjoy the format you have come up with in your reaction videos with just a few short interruptions and then most of your commentary at the end. I think it is a perfect balance.

[@myownchannel247]

The background voices on this album came from a series of questions that Roger Waters ( bass, vocals ) asked the crew involved in the recording. Questions like “ when was the last time you were violent? “ and “ were you in the right? “I dunno I was drunk at the time …

The answer “I was drunk at the time” came from Wings guitarist Henry McCullough. Unfortunately, a supposed response from Paul McCartney didn't make it onto the album.

In this day where everyone uses 'samplers', sometimes even too much, it is easy to overlook how absurdly revolutionary it was to build a beat (in 7/4 time signature, no less) using recordings of 'cash sounds'. PF pioneered this kind of stuff, and they had to work magic in recording studios that simply weren't equipped to mix more than 8 tracks. I gave you a preemptive like, and as you always do, you immediately got the song. Great reaction again 😉

One of the few songs of Pink Floyd that always comes to mind when I think of them. I first thought he sung "Money, it's aghast" but it sounded more like "Money, it's a guess."

I suggest a new band for you called Saga (from Canada) and the first song I'd like for you to react to is "On The Loose" then please do "The Flyer" I think you'll really enjoy these ones. Thanks! For a female vocalist from Australia, I suggest Sharon O' Neill with her song "Maxine."

This was the very first Pink Floyd song I ever heard. That’s it was in the Top 40 on the radio when I was in junior high school aka middle school back in 1973-74. They had top selling albums, but rarely had a song in the Top 40. That was a young David Gilmour singing, and that was his guitar solo of course. Roger Waters was jamming on the bass, Richard Wright was creating beautiful keyboard and synthesizer sounds, and Nick Mason was playing a great rhythm on the drums. Roger Waters made the cash register sounds.

The 7/8 time signature is a bit difficult to play but it's the reason for the tight staccato feel. However, when it came to the guitar solo David Gilmour was having difficulty playing a solo in 7/8. Their solution was to go to a 4/4 groove during the solo because David was more comfortable with that time signature. BTW - the vast majority of pop/rock/country/etc... is in 4/4. It's very standard.

Stacey, what gives this song it's "jazzy" feel is the unusual time signature. It starts in 7/4 time then ends in 4/4.

[@emmanueljangulo]

Hi Stacey! Loving your PF journey!

[@MikeGuerr]

For a non-musician to notice that this song has a “blues quality” tells me that you’ve got a good ear. Roger Waters wrote this song as a “blues” on his acoustic guitar, then the band worked out the arrangement that we hear on the record. Many blues, and blues based, songs have what is known as a 1, 4, 5 chord structure and are usually in 4/4 or sometimes 6/4 time. Money also uses a 1, 4, 5 chord structure but the main body of the song is in 7/8 time, and it switches to 4/4 time for the solo and outro. It’s the 7/8 rhythm that somewhat disguises the songs blues roots.

I completely understand that you need to react to each song individually before reacting to the whole album. If you were to react to the whole album first, you would have to do pauses for copyright and then do the after-listen breakdowns after each song and it would get way too long to put into one video.

Always fun watching you react to Pink Floyd. Everyone who’s said you must listen to Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety is right, so rather than do that as well, how about an anecdote about its iconic cover art? Apparently the designer, Storm Thorgerson (sounds Swedish, was English) laid out a few different ideas for the cover in his studio, all variations of the same theme. The band shuffled in, briefly looked them over, unanimously pointed at the now familiar image and said “that one”. And they all shuffled out. The whole thing took less than 30 seconds.
