Floyd have practically a sound for every sub genre of rock. Meddle, animals, dsotm, wywh, ahm, the wall... They just always seem to have an album to match a particular mood. Fuck, I love pink Floyd
I was at the PF Animals Tour at Milwaukee County Stadium when I was 17 years old in 1977. We were around 3rd base and there were giant pig balloons floating around the stage. At one point a pig exploded and we could feel the heat and the concussion way back on 3rd base.
Not surprised. Gilmour, in my opinion, is the real king of the musical genius of Pink Floyd's finished works (except the incredible songwriting of Rogers). Guitar, bass, drums, sax, etc, etc, etc.. :)) Thanks for watching.
@@llarose According to wikipedia he is credited as playing bass on pigs and sheep, as Waters is credited with playing rhythm guitar on those tracks. Why is it even up to Waters to decide who to credit with what? The whole band produced the album.
Hey Larry Another outstanding reaction and analysis! For me, the super rich are the pigs, with their nose in the trough but not getting their hands dirty. The dogs do the dirty work for them and they get discarded without a care once they have served their purpose. Just like unwanted pets, without a friend in the world and ultimately dragged down by the stone. I think we can see where the sheep lie in this story snd I really look forward to seeing your reaction to it. Musical genius aside- weren’t Floyd such an insightful band at an early age? Well educated and thoughtful, and blessed with musical prowess most of us can only dream about. A true supergroup. Loving your work Larry!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! You've nailed it! "Pigs" is a scathing commentary on the super-rich and their exploitation of power, and Pink Floyd's insight at a young age is truly remarkable. Thanks for your support. 'Sheep' will be published tomorrow (Wed) at 3:15pm Eastern time. A great finale to the album. Please tune in.
To let you know Rodger Waters did not play most of the bass on this song. David Gilmour played a fretless Bass during this song and played bass guitar throughout the majority of this song!! So not only did he hammer out that solo at the end but he played most of the strings for "Pigs Three Different Ones"! I both read this and even checked it on Google!!
People like to shit n Roger but he was the mind. David was the body. People can claim its all really David but pink floyd don't amd have never made the level of music without Roger. As...he's the mind. David executed. He even said, he'd come with a piece and Roger would "annoyingly" make it better. People like to punch down on Roger when giving David his flowers and its not necessary
You're right. I've even caught myself admiring Gilmour to the detriment of Roger's contributions.. Roger's songwriting and his close relationship with another creative genius and founder, Syd Barrett in the early days really set Rogers up for being beyond reproach regarding his talent. You said it and it had to be said. Thank you for watching. The finale 'Sheep' will be published tomorrow at 3:15pm Eastern time.
So, when it all comes down to it, Waters modeled Dogs, Pigs and Sheep after George Orwell's Animal Farm. In Waters' interpretation, society is broken down into Pigs: the corporate overlords, Dogs - middle management, and Sheep - the everyday workers. The backstory is that Pink Floyd developed both songs that became Dogs and Sheep (You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving And Drooling) on the last leg of their Dark Side Of The Moon tour. In the same tour they also premiered the working title Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The follow up album was supposed to consist of Shine On for one side, and You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling on the other side. As Waters was the only one who had a desire to create the album after Dark Side (he was going through a nasty divorce so work was his escape), and the other three were off battling their own demons which mainly consisted of the angst of having to follow up Dark Side, Waters became the de-facto head of the project. He decided that the three songs did not follow a theme together, and really wanted Shine On in the next album, so he nixed the other two, which really angered Gilmour. Once Waters explained his position and the themes he wanted to surround Shine On with (absence, criticism of the music industry - all which contributed to Syd Barrett's downfall) Mason and Wright agreed. So they wrote three songs to go with Shine On (Welcome To The Machine, Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here and then Waters made the decision to split Shine On to bookend the album, which angered Gilmour once again. Again, a vote gave Waters the support he needed and now, each member has stated that Wish You Were Here is their favorite album. So you can see that Waters did not become the domineering leader that he is now infamous for being at the later stages of Pink Floyd, he was basically handed that title by Mason and Wright, especially since, as we can see, his decisions were adept. For Animals he took the two discarded songs and reworked them under the Animal Farm theme and wrote Pigs to round it out. For being such a heavy album all members state they remember it being a very fun recording. All can be found in Nick Mason's excellent Pink Floyd 'biography', Inside Out. Sorry for being so long-winded... One last suggestion, Nick Mason never gets enough credit for his drumming. I encourage you to watch Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii, where Mason really shines! (as do the others, as well). It's just cool to watch them all perform together. They were so good playing off each other. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you so much for sharing this detailed and fascinating insight into the creation of Pink Floyd's "Animals" album! It's always incredible to learn about the intricate dynamics and decisions that shaped such iconic music. The connection to George Orwell's Animal Farm adds an extra layer of depth to the album's themes. And you're absolutely right about Nick Mason's drumming - his contribution often deserves more recognition. Me being a drummer, (mostly of the prog-rock complicated era) should be giving more credit to the likes of Mason. I really like his playing. I appreciate your thoughtful comment and your recommendation to watch Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii. It's indeed a joy to see these musical legends perform together. Thanks for being a part of the conversation, and I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
The reference to Whitehouse is Mary Whitehouse who proclaimed herself to be the moral police of the time. If you listen to the lyrics again for the 3rd pig they will make perfect sense once you know this. The 2nd is Thatcher, again knowing that and knowing Thatcher the lyrics are genius. And the 1st is James Callaghan leader of the opposition during Thatcher who was supposed to represent the working class but had his snout in the trough like the best of the pigs. The entire album is pure genius
Thank you for the insight. Only through the comments here have I learned the entire story of the Album. I was very focused only on the song 'Dogs' (because of the 'from God' guitar work of Gilmour, among other reasons) until giving this entire album a good listen. Thanks for watching.
Just to amplify that, Mary was the self-appointed head of the National Viewers and Listeners association, a conservative, religious pressure group who took it upon themselves to attempt to censor the media if they saw or heard anything they didn't like. The BBC, for example, lived in fear of Mary and her cohorts, who even demanded that Tom and Jerry be taken off our screens because of its alleged violence. Needless to say, sex on TV got them particularly hot and bothered. Mary was one of the pigs - those people who try and control what others can do and experience. And after almost 50 years, we can see the pigs are winning, with books being removed from libraries in the US, and a pressure campaign to teach children a sanitised version of American history. Trumpism is all about letting the pigs loose.
Great comment. Listening to PF in my younger days, I weirdly didn't tune into the guitar work, but rather their songs' 'feel' - the rhythmic comfort. But, all these years (decades) later, I'm starting to see what I previously missed. Namely, Mr. David Gilmour. Thanks for watching.
This may be a controversial 'take' but from my perspective, Gilmour is the most talented 'musician' of PF, not to take away from the rest of the band. Thanks for watching.
Great reaction! Pigs is probably the 'weakest' of the 3 big ones on this album - and it's still amazing - so that's saying something! (We'll discount Pigs On The Wing Part 1 & 2 - those are basically sound bites in comparison). Someone may have already mentioned, but the reference to 'Whitehouse' was for Mary Whitehouse - a British teacher and right-wing conservative activist, who waged a bit of a censorship war & was notably anti-gay with her Christian beliefs (not that all things she did were harmful or repressive - she pushed for anti-child pornography legislation - and I can certainly abide by that). It was one of the rare times Waters mentioned someone by name! Wright's haunting keyboard lines in this are awesome - as is Gilmour just going nuts at the end! There is some live recordings from 1977 where Dave just goes batsh!t at the end - I have a bootleg displaying this, and it's bonkers! Can't wait for Sheep! My #2 track from this album (Dogs being #1). Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! You're absolutely right, even the "weakest" track on the album is still an incredible piece of music. The band were certainly not afraid to address social and political issues in their music. And yes, Gilmour's guitar work is unreal "Sheep." was published a few days ago, please check it out. Cheers! 🎶. czcams.com/video/ZymK6roDIYU/video.html
I understand why you would discount "Pigs On the Wing". Most do. But it is arguably the the very heart of the album. It brackets all the darkness Roger hits you with by saying: Find somebody who loves you, and everything will be ok. ... I adore "Pigs On the Wing". Seek out the 8 track version with the bridge by Snowy White.
@@tommc3622personally, I'm not discounting it - it bookends the 'meat' of the album perfectly! Thanks to CZcams...I finally heard the 8 track version a few years ago - makes me wish my parents had that 8 track!! Unfortunate that it's the only medium that contained it because it was wonderful.
I'd like to remind you that Roger Waters wasn't playing anything here. David Gilmour played all the guitars, including bass. Honestly? I don't think Waters could have pulled off such a complex part (and unconventional solo) on bass. Speaking of Nick Mason: I love him in Echoes (Live in Pompeii). When you see his mastery of the drums in this track, it's still stunning to me. At the same time, you can clearly see that he's probably been smoking a lot because he's a bit "absent". And I really like that, and I always find myself smiling at it!
Yes, many here have provided that exact isight about Gilmour playing both. His guitar work (and bass) is mesmerizing here And Nick Mason's drumming skill shines through even with that laid-back vibe. These nuances make Pink Floyd's performances so captivating!
Roger played the rhytm guitar on this one. As the composer, he is very aware of his own limitations,he has always regarded David as the better musician of the two.
Couple of points, the Whitehouse reference is about Mary Whitehouse who was a campaigner in the 70's for family values against the sex and violence on TV, she watched it and then complained, secondly Rogers live shows now use Donald Trump as the archetypal pig.
Whitehouse is not a well-known persona outside the UK. It was weird hearing that reference in the song, but many people in the comments have enlightened me. As for Rogers, I respect his song writing brilliance along with his founding and contribution to some of the most compelling music I've ever heard. However, today, after studying his path - firstly, him alienating Wright, basically anointing himself as King of PF, and sole writer of its music, while disregarding Gilmour and Mason's objections, then getting the rightful boot from PF, I find him quite narcissistic & divisive, exactly the qualities he supposedly railed against. Fuck Rogers (as a person).
@@llarose you and me both my feelings exactly, I did manage to see him in Glasgow a few years ago and it was after that show I became disgusted by him and wont be going again, the Floyd however at Earl's Court was amazing wishing I had gone more than once.

Great review I don't think Animals held in the same way as Wish you were here album by many but Its definitely up there for me, the whitehouse reference is to Mary Whitehouse she was a " British teacher and conservative activist.

Oh, i dont realize that you answer my comment. I think pics are almost even better than dogs. at least in the middle of the song. when all the instruments come together and you no longer know how many or which ones they are. Of course, it's studio work and you can do a lot there. But I was particularly impressed by what this band can do. and with this perfection. I didn't have this wealth of impressions with Dogs.

The Whitehouse reference was about Mary Whitehouse, an activist in Great Britain. You hear "Mary" said after "Whitehouse".
Just to amplify that, Mary was the self-appointed head of the National Viewers and Listeners association, a conservative, religious pressure group who took it upon themselves to attempt to censor the media if they saw or heard anything they didn't like. The BBC, for example, lived in fear of Mary and her cohorts, who even demanded that Tom and Jerry be taken off our screens because of its alleged violence.

Yep
Whitehouse is Mary Whitehouse. She was a British censorship campaigner during the 60s and 70s. She's the subject of the last verse
She would fit right into today's tin-pot censorship advocates.

Of course, it's studio work and you can do a lot there. But I was particularly impressed by what this band can do. and with this perfection. I didn't have this wealth of impressions with Dogs. Although Dogs is of course absolutely awesome.@@llarose
And they were in their 20s.
And I bet you and me both thought we were pretty clever in our 20's:) It really is awe-inspiring.
