David Gilmour isn't a shredder like Van Halen and others, but he definitely has the most emotional guitar sound ever.
@@vangledosh love your profile picture, also maybe Gary Moore.
Knopfler too!
Well said.
I agree. David Gilmour's sound is unique. I can pick is solos out of any song.
I love his guitars style. So many guitarist inject their solo into the song, and often itâs technically good but it detracts from the song. Davidâs style completes and compliments the song. So so masterful
David Gilmour is literally saying stories with his solos
First guitar solo reflects the sadness and loss shown in first part of the lyrics. Second solo reflects the anger of the grown man. Brilliant
I donât know what is about this solo, but it just breaks any space/time boundaries, suddenly we all float in a state of peace and on the edge of tears
I agree with showing someone the studio version for their first listen....
Pink Floyd is not simply music . . . It's an experience.
David's Fender Black Stratocaster sold for $3.9 million for a charity event, a record, the rest of his collection included sold for $21. million. He is the master of the Strat ..which has a particular sustainability in sound.. he STRETCHES the notes he play.
Every note he touches has purpose and soul to it. To him it doesnât matter how fast you play but how you make the listener feel, and to me that is more important in music as well
You haven't heard the best solo until you hear the pulse version, enjoy!
Best 5 minutes in music history
100% agree with that. In fact the whole concert is a masterpiece.
Pulse is the best, but pretty much any live version of CN has an awesome solo. Even in the current day, Gilmour can still knock it out of the park - see the 2016 Pompeii concert, for example. And the one I recorded at the Royal Albert Hall (sorry, yes, I'm one of them...) which was the very last performance of CN on the 2016 tour. It was insane!
Unpopular opinion, of course. Nothing, not even the Pulse version comes close to the original 2nd solo. The former is a virtuoso tour de force as a standalone, concert performance but the essence of Roger Waters' vision is found only in the original
Gilmour's tone, the harmonics, the delays and the sustains in the original is just on a different universe, always staying fidel to the crux of the song. It's in perfect harmony with Roger Waters composition. This is the real deal. Sorry, just butting in here because the original is the forgotten child, eclipsed by its more popular but less fidel Pulse sibling :)
This song is about 'Pink' the character in the movie The Wall. having had an emotional event in a hotel room. is medicated by a doctor to get him ready for a show that evening. He is referring to a childhood illness in flashbacks.
Watch the movie
CZcams has it.
He does refer to a fever as a child. But this is talking about a member of the band who was sick before a concert. The doctor gave him an injection to get him through the show. He felt numb.....cut off from the rest of the band. It was not a good feeling. You can tell theyâre talking about an injection when they say âjust a little pinprickâ....and the detail of the little percussion sound to mimics a pinprick.
This album is in general about Roger Waters himself. The part about getting a shot from a doctor actually happened before a concert some time ago. Watch the movie you'll understand completely
It is relative to many things the band members felt because they experienced losing a bandmate while trying to continue being a band.
How do you divorce yourself from a/partner in the band and still continue being a band while giving him the respect he deserved?
Love and respect is good but it also is bad.
Pink Floyd was so good with being honest and letting it all be there for us to see the pain they were experiencing. No excuses and no lies.
And in the literal sense, Rogerâs vocals portrayed that of the doctor, while David was the patient.
It's also about Syd Barrett, who was too high to play on stage and later diagnosed schyzophrenic (or not). The song Wish you were here is also about him. And there is another story about Syd coming during the recording like a mad man. I discovered The Wall on theater. The movie was made by Alan Parker and was on screens in 1980, and boy, we were not prepared. Like everything what PF does. But what a blast !
come on it's time to go ...
Pink Floyd music is hypnotic.
All of their songs are deep but the meaning and how it effects you will change over time. My favorite band.
Itâs the first solo in this number that brings tears to my eyes.
It's true the song is inspired by an incident with Roger before a concert where he had to be given something to get him "going through the show" but in context of The Wall album it is the character Pink, a rockstar descending into madness, that is in need of this medication, and Roger Waters' vocals here is that of the doctor brought in by his agent to administer the drug. The final guitar solo captures all of the pain anger and desperation of Pink's mind at this point, in ways that words cannot even come close. I first heard it just over 40 years ago, and if you're anything like me it will thrill, haunt, and amaze you for the rest of your years.
And it was reflective of the angst and anger of Waters following the Animals tour. The character Pink is fictional (but was an allegory to Waters) but the building of walls is a self defense mechanism for all his life's traumas including fame and life on the road. Some of the Wall is being built to shelter Pink/Waters from fans/fame.
You just said it- better than it better than I could. Rock on!!!
@flubbert I couldn't have said that better.
@@jeffdietz630 and with help from his mother, school and everything else he went through while growing up, according to the song Mother. I love this album. Also, how the Hell does someone learn to design a song and play guitar like that. The guitar reinforces and embeds the meaning of the song into us.
People say that David Gilmour doesnât plug the guitar into an amplifier but into his soul instead. There is no one that can make a guitar sing the way he does. The Pulse version contains possibly the greatest guitar solo of all. ITS THAT GOOD! Best wishes đ
The difference between David Gilmour an other guitarists is that other guitarists want a guitar for Christmas but guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.
That is _THE_ most perfect solo ever.
Best guitar solo of all time. No doubt. Love how it hits you guys. Cheers!
This song was written for a former member of the band. His name was SID BARRETTE it was a turbulent to him
Roger does recall his fever when he was young making him feel odd, but this song is about him getting a shot from a doctor before a concert which made him feel the same way. It was a muscle relaxer & he was âcomfortably numbâ during the concert after he got the shot. I never heard the other explanation đđ€Łđ Canât wait for the live version! No one bends & plays the strings on the guitar like Davidđ„đ¶đ„
David Gilmour wrote comfortably numb for his solo album, but never finished it to put it in so he suggested it to the bang who added it to the wall , waters was right on how the song should sound, but Gilmour defintely wrote the words and original tune
@@MrJlc93 sorry, but Gilmour didnât wrote the lyrics! ALL lyrics on the album âThe Wallâ were written by Waters who also had the idea for it!
@@mgeyer1370 he had the idea bit he definitely wrote it you can see his interview where he tells the interviewer how he and waters disagreed on the sound but ultimately waters was right. Nearly every Floyd song up until it started to go sour had all four member as song writers or some sort. But check the interview on here with gilmour đ
@@MrJlc93 All I said was: Gilmour did not wrote the LYRICS of this Song! Gilmour wrote the music but not the lyrics! He is a gifted guitarist but he admits that he cannot write lyrics. So Polly wrote most of the lyrics after Waters left the band! Gilmour originally wanted to write the song as a kind of "love song".
@@MrJlc93 Wikipedia: Writing
The chorus progression was written by guitarist David Gilmour, who recorded a wordless demo.[citation needed] The verse and lyrics were written by bassist Roger Waters. The lyrics were inspired by Waters's experience of being injected with tranquillisers for stomach cramps before a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the 1977 In the Flesh Tour. "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said, "trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm." The song had the working title "The Doctor".
For the chorus, Gilmour and session player Lee Ritenour used a pair of acoustic guitars strung similarly to Nashville tuning, but with the low E string replaced with a high E string, two octaves higher than standard tuning. This tuning was also used for the arpeggios in "Hey You".
Waters and Gilmour disagreed about how to record the song; Gilmour preferred a more grungy style for the verses. Gilmour said: "We argued over 'Comfortably Numb' like mad. Really had a big fight, went on for ages." In the end, Waters' preferred opening and Gilmour's final solo were used.
To write the two guitar solos, Gilmour pieced together elements from several other solos he had been working on, marking his preferred segments for the final take. He used a Big Muff distortion and delay effects on the solos.
Great reaction lads to one of my favourite songs. If you thought the guitar solo on this track was good, listen to the live version on âpulseâ, it will blow your socks off.
David is my favorite guitarist....he could make the Happy Birthday song sound mournful
Exactly! Is this the greatest lyrical line ever written? I can't think of better, "When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone, I can not put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone..... I have become comfortably numb." Gilmour and Waters publicly fought about the guitar solo and the final out come was "we" the listeners won that argument. It takes great attention and love of sound, to "hear" the greatest guitar ever recorded, which I believe is in the hidden depths of that musical accident? miracle? one take recording of, "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix. Just as Chas Chandler only give 20 minutes recording time for Jimi's new song that he wrote the night before and Jimi's band mates never heard or even tried to play before, Waters pressure on Gilmour, like Chandler's on Jimi released a fire that forged diamonds. That said, David Gilmour in this ineffable solo has this same contact, but he brings big pieces up to the surface so that you can readily access it, everyone has tried to do this, but here Gilmour has done it. Waters only wanted something to match the gift of that synaptic storm released by the crushing realization that we were deeper and better people when we were children. Gilmour delivered Everest to Waters K2.. Thank You BroAction, your reaction took me back to when I had my Bro's when I was not so alone with my thoughts.
As I've seen another person say, "David Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into an amp. He plugs it into his soul". :)
He wrings every ounce of sound from his guitar. It sounds like he's killing it at times. He plays with the emotion of a concert violin.
The song High Hopes deals with exactly the same subject.....very powerful song. Highly recommend it. Also, Nightwish does a cover of High Hopes which is excellent.
As mentioned before this is about an incident when Waters was sick and had to get a shot to get through the show
Waters used his experience as inspiration for this song, what is happening to Pink in the album is different but still involves the doctor touring with the band.
@@harryhager4128 yes, people are too quick to explain the inspiration for the song rather than the actual meaning of it in context of The Wall *concept* album.
The perfect solo. Period.
Wonderful reaction and I completely agree - Gilmour's guitar transports me every time, no matter how many times I have heard this song. I think you will love the Pulse version - it blew me away and is now my favourite version like so many others - what he does with that final solo - omg....
This song is probably one of the most mindblowing and emontional songs ever. For the solo parts, Guilmore recorded a lot of solos. Then he listended to them, picked out the parts he liked the most and had the technicians cut them together and then he went home with the tape and learned it by heart. As one you alredy nows, the live performances of this is even better. :)
THANKS for this one đđ when you can , watch the same song to Pulse concert 1994 = last guitar solo 4 min longer .. best live guitar solo .. or High hopes ( pulse 1994 ),, or coming back to life ( pulse 1994 ) đžđ¶
Pulse tour.
Earls Court,central London.
1994.
I was there and you really MUST listen and watch the performance of this song with the greatest solo of them all.
But then,the whole show was utterly brilliant and life-changing.
The band manager got a Doctor into give Pink a jab to make sure he makes the show !!
Keep up the good work guys. You are cool brothers đ Curiosity is always a good thing. So many amazing songs out there from Beatles, Depeche Mode, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin and many more
đ
David Gilmour is the god of the guitar
I believe it's a ''Fender Stratocaster''....great reaction again guys.
I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 12 years old. I'm 45 now. You can't beat them. David Gilmore more than anything. His guitared paying makes it sound like some is singing....
Solo David Gimour ~ "No Way Out Of Here" "Raise My Rent"
Yes, always go for the studio versions first then the live. Smart.
Great channel and reactions. Very genuine.
Memories of lying in bed in the dark with headphones on. Ou literally feel like youâve left your body. This song transcends time.
It was also a coded reference to the fact that if you were popular, the record company would push you. And they'd have people on the tour who would drug you with "uppers" to get you on stage despite your exhaustion.
The whole pulse concert blows tour mind!, start with commfortably numb!
So turn right around RIGHT NOW and watch the live Pulse concert version...direct comparison....
And now its time for the live version from Pulse ;)
Ok, look guys. I'm 50 years old and I'm loving your reactions. Huge Pink Floyd fan.
I'd like to suggest Shine On You Crazy Diamond. As a fan of Gilmour's guitar, I think it's his best work.
David has an angel voice
The song was actually written about there original guitar player Sid.
Sid became addicted to Heroin and was forced to leave the band to get help.
In the movie there is a sceen showing a guy in his chair wasted.
That was how the band found Sid.
Artist around the world has picked this solo as the greatest solo ever written.
Pink Floyd is also in the Guineas Book of records with there album Dark Side Of The Moon.
It stayed in the top Billboard 200 for over 700 week's that's over 20 year's
And if you play the Dark Side Of The Moon Album with the Wizard of Oz it plays in zink with the movie.
How to start it
Turn volume all the way down on TV
Start the movie and on the second roar of the lion start the album
It pretty amazing.
Great Reaction Guys Stay Safe
My favourite pink Floyd song...great reaction as usual guys đšđŠđđ»đ„
I agree, Georoge, his guitar ability and style is exceptional. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are my top two favorite bands.
Great insights on David Gilmour's style. Still an underrated guitarist. He gets so much emotion from seemingly 'easy' playing.
Loved your reaction, one of the best đ
the second guitar solo is for eternity
I had the great privilege of seeing Pink Floyd in concert in Birmingham AL in the mid nineties and it was indescribable!! It was their Dark Side of the Moon tour and I was on the field on the 19th row. You could almost feel the music blowing like wind. I'll never forget it â€đ„â€đ„
You gotta try comfortably numb pulse live
Tear jerking genius â€đââïž
I love the honesty of your reactions. Thanks for sharing this with us.
" Come on bro ,that's it?" - That's the same reaction of mine when i heard it first time
7:16 - Aaaaaaand subscribed! Praise the CZcams algorithm for recommending your video to me! :)
Best live version of comfortably numb is from my city...VENICE. You must listen that version.. live from gran Canal.. the best live version of everđ
Magnificent.
Dudes,listen to Gilmour's performance of this in Gdansk,Poland complete with an orchestra for the complete solo,you'll be blown away!
You guys are going to go nuts when and if you hit Echoâs from the album Meddle...
Thank you both for reacting to this great piece of art. I was born in 1966 and was in the eighth grade when The Wall was released, even then I knew it was special. David Gilmour's playing is just dripping with emotion, not flashy or over the top, just the notes that are needed. It makes me smile that this great music is still moving people 40 years later, thanks again to you both. You have a new subscriber.
Super dudes !
Loving your reactions, guys. Now you've heard this, you HAVE to watch/listen to the live PULSE version. Nothing even comes close to seeing these Gods performing live.
This is the best version of Comfortably numb.
Okay, so I was 18 years of age when this song came out, and it was played all of the time on Houston Texas rock radio stations, and it has always been one of my favorites, and I never get tired of hearing, and you guys react exactly the same way as I always do. This song just moves you emotionally.
You guys are excellent reactors, and it's so cool đ to know that you really appreciate the excellence of this era of rock music đ¶
The chorus progression was written by guitarist David Gilmour, who recorded a wordless demo.[citation needed] The verse and lyrics were written by bassist Roger Waters.

You won't regret
Would love to see you guys react to the movie! One way to think of this song is to think of the first verse being about Syd Barrett being checked into a mental institution and the doctor making him comfortable, but numbing his emotions. This hurts the band so much to see him numb like this; not the guy they knew for so long. Then the 2nd verse could be the irony of knowing Syd is medicated and numb but one of the band members is shooting up before the show and making himself comfortably numb as well. Both want or need an escape from their problems and find it through drugs in different ways. They both just end up numb instead of feeling good.
I know this isn't the real story of the song but one thing I love about music is that you can sometimes see another story in there if you have an imagination.
Awesome reaction! Your bud gets it!
Thanks guys. You have an amazing work out there as well. Cheers.
Enjoyed your reaction
I just LOVE you guys!!!... great insights and observations!! This song which I got for Christmas December of 1979 I was the senior in high school and New Jersey this entire album with athene showing like the whole it was just sort of like it's just frame to My Life the song a particular of it you guys have a great reaction I love listening to you two !!!
This song also speaks to where we are as a society. We are all just comfortable numb, turn a blind eye to tragedy of this world.
The live version from Earls Court during their Pulse tour in 1994 will change your life.
Really enjoying the channel guys. Look forward to more. Subscribed!
âThe child has grown the dream has goneâ
Gets me too since it first came out and as a 57 year old it still does.
Canât wait for your reaction to the PULSE version.

All the best from the far north of New Zealand!
Hey New Zealand: a country Iâve always loved from afar and wanted to visit, but never did. Hell....one of the countries of the world I would love to LIVE in. Especially these days. Youâre lucky....

Best solo of all time. David Gilmore has soul! I also like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lenny and Texas Flood.
If you're talking about little details when you watch the movie and you have to, you're going to be blown away by the detail Gilmore went to length to make happen their background on the album you just listen to and they're in the movie actually happening like the TV with gomer Pyle saying "surprise surprise surprise" and things like footsteps and doors being closed so listen to the entire album first then watch the movie it'll blow your mind
love your reactions .I am so jealous that you have all this great music at once i had to get it one album at a time.
The wall consists of story telling. Every songs in the album connects each other and finally complete story. So I strongly recommend you to hear whole album in order to understand the true meaning of comfortably numb.
đŻđđđ„ watching u 2 react 2 all of these great song's is truly what music about , thankx 4 posting & sharing, I appreciate it đŻđ„ I tip my hat 2 u guy's & give yaw a bow of much deserved respect đ đŻđ„ please keep up the good work, I am a new subscriber & I have a lot of binge watching 2 do in catching up on u guy's reactions đŻđ„đđ
It's important to remember that this is the soundtrack for the movie The Wall.
everytime second solo is comming i have goosebumps. My God thanx for David Gilmour
So... The 1st David Gilmour solo of this song has slid into your brain and now you ARE the guitar... Trust me... By the time you get to the 2nd solo you will no longer be able to escape... Then the ride becomes an exquisite crash of a 30 foot wave of the ocean into your soul... Or something like that... :) I'm 61 and the music of the late 70's was my late teen sound track! Welcome into my mind... Mwah hah hah hah... LOL Enjoy the journey guys! BTW... David Gilmore was (is still) great! But, there are others... Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) 'Sultans of Swing' or 'Money for Nothing', Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen) 'Eruption', Tom Scholtz (Boston) 'More Than a Feeling', Joe Walsh (The Eagles) 'Life's Been Good', Brian May (Queen) 'Bohemian Rhapsody', Steve Lukather (Toto) 'Rosanna', Neil Schon (Journey) '(pick a song!)', Peter Frampton (Humble Pie) 'Show me the Way', Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) 'Stairway to Heaven'... Yeah... The 70's was super rich in great music and brain ripping solos! :)
...the meaning of the song: life is out there; I prefer to face it and let it hurt me, than lose all sense of feeling. Roger Waters, usually wrote lyrics based on real life events. Yes, the pain he was undergoing from touring was taking a toll on his body, so the band physician gave him a sedative (pin prick) and was so loopy during the concert, he couldn't feel the audience. Hence why he says, "your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying". Later on the years. Individuals preferably used the fact that he was giving a shot of heron, a fix, to get through the show. Its open to interpretation, but the opening line i wrote is directly from Roger Waters describing the album: The Wall đžđŻđ
He was given a tranquilizer for stomach cramps. And although it is part of the genesis of the song, it's not what the song's about. In the context of the album, it's about "Pink" being in a catatonic mental state, having built a metaphorical "wall" around himself.
@@hihoktf... you do know that tranquilizers are sedatives, right? In a MTV show back in 1988: Headbangers Ball, Roger Waters himself describe being distant from the audience in a show in Berlin, where the line, "your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying" was dubbed... because if there was one thing he enjoyed was the crowd singing back his songs. Now you may have your rendition of what happened, but I know what I remember hearing after Riki Rachtman asked him about that particular scene in the movie đ€đœ
@@kaimiloab.1032 I'm not sure we're disagreeing as much as clarifying. My complaint has more to do with the focus on the "drug". As your original line stated, Roger is speaking to mental issues, not drug issues. I agree Roger had various experiences that influenced the song and album. I also agree that "Pink" is given an unspecified drug, but it is to rouse him from his catatonic state, which is the point. It's just that over and over I see the backstory of the genesis of the song told as if it's what the song is "about", but, in the context of the album storyline, that misses the point. đ€
@@hihoktf ...wanna do a podcast together đ€Łđ€Łđ€đœđŻ
React to Pink Floydâs ECHOES live at Pompeii.
Excellent reaction video
Good to see you enjoying Floyd- listen to the David Gilmour live at Pompeii or Pink Floyd Pulse live; its even better than the studio version.
Now check out the live version, guys -- visually stunning and the guitar playing is even better:
czcams.com/video/vi7cuAjArRs/video.html
You were surprised when the guitar playing ended. It goes on for ages in this video. One of the greatest rock concerts of all time.
Many of Pink Floydâs albums are meant to be listened to from start to finish. In order to fully digest these songs itâs best to give it a listen all the way through. On The Wall, if you listen very closely it starts where they âleft offâ đ
This song without the other songs on this album may raise more questions than answers. You see, The Wall album is a story from the first song to the last, a kind of rock opera.
Briefly, itâs the story of a rock star (Named Pink) who tries to escape the trials of life, (by isolating himself behind a wall that he erects around himself). Pinkâs emotional journey into the past is interrupted when his management team breaks into the hotel room and has a doctor inject him with a drug that will snap him out of psychological malaise, ensuring that he can still perform at a concert later that evening.
Although many people think this song is about drug abuse, (Comfortably Numb), is more personal to Roger Waters real life experience. In an interview given to Jim Ladd from KLOS radio in Los Angeles around 1980, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache. On the stage, his hands were numb (My hands felt just like two balloons) and his vision blurred (A distant ship smoke on the horizon). And it was out of this experience, (and the infamous spitting incident in Montreal 1977) that one of the main themes of The Wall album came about: the disconnect between the public and the band. âThat was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.â Roger Waters, Bass player.
I'm not a sloppy emotional person, but I cry when I hear this these days
You will not be completely done until you has not listened and reach the sky out of this planet and land on Planet Floyd , if you don't get yourself embraced by the Pulse Concert vertion of this great theme and the celestial solo of Mr David Gilmour !
Just listen what I gentle suggest you guys and you will realise the meaning of my words .
Do it and you will obtain the genuine citizenship of Planet Floyd !
Love the less talk moto đđđ. Enjoy the music guys. Dig deeper into Pink Floyd's earlier stuff, like: 'Cymbaline', 'Careful With That Axe Eugine', 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun', 'Echoes' - audio version, 'A Pillow of Winds', 'One Of These Days', 'Mother', 'SORROW' - from the "Pulse" concert in '94, etc. If you want to here David Gilmore play that heavy guitar sound but EVEN BETTER, listen to "SORROW" from the 'Pulse' concert the Intro and outro's are amazing! Oh plus there is an epic guitar solo in the actual song itself!!!
Don't forget...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that, pour another, drink that, then pour another one and go turn off all the lights. Put this record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into it and sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
Yes! Do The Wall the movie, please! The whole thing (youtube permitting). I love watching you two loving Pink Floyd and really FEELING it! I mean who doesn't but you guys express that you're feeling it and you so wholeheartedly enjoy the fact that Pink Floyd gets you emotional. I LOVE THAT!
Guys, "The Wall" is a story. You need to take an entire day and listen to it from start to finish. It is two LP vinyl records. You can get EIGHT posts out of it. You need to do it in one sitting, but you can break it into eight segments.
