@@zotron9228 Completely agree. Too many people judge this song and so much more of there music not realizing most of these songs were ment to take you through your "trip". To guide you through the come up and the highs and lows and the comedown and confused bliss that follows. These songs arent ment to show off how many diffrents chords or complex notes you can play. These songs are meant to make you REALY FEEL something. If they can accomplish that with just 1 or 2 chords then more power to them! Anyone complaining about its lack of complexity isn't enjoying the music for what it really is.
@@Haxprocess I agree that there are bands like Opeth that are doing crazy good stuff nowadays...BUT only a few bands in history changed music the way Pink Floyd did. Many great bands today still take inspiration from them.. They may even bring things forward, which is good, but still they got their inspiration from Pink Floyd.
@@Haxprocess I didn't say that no band were more influential, just that only a few were. OK I agree that Yes, Genesis and others were (even though I would argue it's not the case for Camel)... And after Meddle they did The Wall, Animals, Dark Side Of The Moon (highly overrated in my opinion but still loved by many)...man even Division Bell had some interesting things ! Pink Floyd is far from being my favorite band but I still think that many of the greatest prog songs we've had were made because of them.
Dedicating this to my brother, Tom who took his own life in 2015. I remember one night years before he sent me a link to this. (Both being Floyd lovers) and I was mesmerized.

This is how Pink Floyd created Careful with that axe Eugene, Roger Waters came in one day and was like "hey guys I wrote a song, chords are D D D D D D D D D D D x infinity, Lyrics are "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhh AhHHHHHHHHHHhhHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhHHHH Ahhh Ahhhhh"

This version and the live at pompeii are hard to best tbh, both have their qualities, but this one wins EASILY The screams are so raw, and the organ+the guitar solo are from another dimension
The absolute best version of this song. Especially the intro with Richard's theme at 1:27. It sounds much more haunting like this, keeping it simple. Also, the atmosphere is breathtaking. Awesome mixing as well. Not to mention David's lead, of course. Or Roger's screams, for that matter. Oh, come on, it's perfect.
This is honestly the best performance of this song. Pompeii was great too but I feel like this one has more of a Pink Floyd vibe and the way the song pauses at the end of the guitar solo and then starts back up with amazing pickups and sounds. 6:40 blows my mind and Idk why
@@eyellgeteven9928 Ah yes..The time old favourite question, Which one's pink? . If i said Roy Harper, would you take your hats off to Roy Harper? Then you might say, "green is the colour?", and then I would reply "any colour you like"
I remember the day I brought this album home. 2 days after my 15th birthday. I had just been introduced to Pink Floyd. I heard comfortably numb on the radio a week before. I asked my dad who the hell is this and he said Pink Floyd. It was a Saturday after noon and my mom took me to this box store and I bought the wall, meddle , relics and piper at the gates of dawn. It’s the only 4 albums the store had and I’m surprised they had any. I spent the rest of the day listening to those albums. I remember plain as day having the hair stand up on my arms listening to careful with that axe and then I put in meddle and when I heard echoes I thought my brain was melting. This was before I was introduced to Mary Jane. God I still get goosebumps.
Such a scary freaky yet incredibly dark & mystifying tune that only Pink Floyd could produce. Now I know why I'm so incredibly addicted to timeless masterpieces like this
The song is frightening and has a dark mood. I'm not surprised people who are used to MTV songs couldn't handle it. Also, there is no way radios and TVs would pass a song about a murderer who kills his victims with an axe.
1968 -1972 were great years of experimentation for Pink Floyd, they lose their main member and songwriter, but they didn`t gave up and continue with those great instrumental and atmospheric songs until they came out with The Dark Side of the Moon.

You might think performing a song like this is easy, just play a vamp in D minor for 7m50 and that's it, right? It's not, these guys are listening all the time to what the other guy is doing, feeling the dynamics, anticipating on every note that's being played or sung. They're masters at this, that's why I will always love Pink Floyd.
I feel like this could be the first heavy Heavy Metal song (Or, at least one of the first). This song was released in 1969, less than a year before Black Sabbath made their debut. I think of it as kind of a Heavy Metal song because Heavy Metal has always been associated with horror. One minute you're immersed in a creepy, haunting atmosphere and then the next minute you're immediately hit with blood curdling screams accompanied by loud overdriven guitars, I think it's safe to say that this is really horrifying. I absolutely love Black Sabbath and I was a very die hard Floyd fan a few years ago (I still love them today)
+DeltaOracle257 That would be "Born to be wild" by Steppenwolf. Now, while be careful with that axe Eugene is quite heavy rock to be consider as proto-heavy metal by some, Steppenwolf predates them by two years. I should add that that era of floyd was amazing, I could never hooked up with their later stuff.
Best band the world has ever seen without a doubt considering this track was recorded when most of the people commenting on this page weren't even born .brilliant
We've just passed the 50th anniversary of this particular recording of this masterpiece. Can hardly believe it's this old. Also, this was uploaded in 2006, so this has been here for half my life. Good God I'm even ageing myself here and these chaps were younger than I am when they made this recording
Oh, good golly, I was there that night. I played hooky from my very English boarding school (mandatory expulsion if discovered) and hitch-hiked a hundred miles to Brighton. A seventeen year old in musical bliss. Never forgotten. Sends chills up the spine over 40 years on.

Superb!!!!. If i could i wouldnt care to even pay 1000 or more bucks to have been in this concert. Priceless n worth it. The guys that were in this concert are blessed. So lucky them
I saw Pink Floyd perform this for the first time in years and for the last time ever at the Oakland Arena (Animals/Wish You Were Here) concert on May 7, 1977. There was so much love between and the band, it was their third encore. I think it was 15 minutes long. It was quite a transformative night.
I have listened to this exact version at least 4,000 times since this video has been uploaded. NO EXAGGERATION. I ended up buying this on DVD, iTunes, CD, and Vinyl. Enjoy the Creatures of the Deep!
Someone said to Eugene, "Careful with that axe, Eugene".
Eugene replied by saying "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces".
'one of these days' was actually something their producer or someone said, they were just teasing him with that song

Second best scream* Early morning- Epitaph
Deep Purple-Child in Time
It's the first one too , I think
This has to be one of the most unique and strange songs ever. It sounds supernatural, ancient, and just plain surreal
4:57 So much emotion in the climax. Rogers scream combined with Gilmour's eerie guitar bends and Masons furious drumming made me tear up
It honestly is terrifying, yet awesome at the same time.
Still one of the scariest tracks ever recorded. If only "The Shining" had been a musical!

They're masters at this, that's why I will always love Pink Floyd.
The ultimate representation of Pink Floyd.
“Careful with that axe, Eugene.”
“What did you say- [chops off fingers] *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”*
an axe is a bass guitar
Nein Breaker it was a good joke.
Best interpretation of the song so far
When I hit my pinky toe against the furniture: 4:59
whahhahahhahahha
I feel like this could be the first heavy Heavy Metal song (Or, at least one of the first). This song was released in 1969, less than a year before Black Sabbath made their debut. I think of it as kind of a Heavy Metal song because Heavy Metal has always been associated with horror. One minute you're immersed in a creepy, haunting atmosphere and then the next minute you're immediately hit with blood curdling screams accompanied by loud overdriven guitars, I think it's safe to say that this is really horrifying. I absolutely love Black Sabbath and I was a very die hard Floyd fan a few years ago (I still love them today)
+DeltaOracle257 It was released as a single's B Side in 1968. Otherwise, everything you said is right on. :-)
+DeltaOracle257 have to agree there. im sure some black metal fans would appreciate those insane screams. my second fave floyd track behind echoes
Well Helter Skelter by the Beatles was the first heavy metal song in my opinion but this would definitely be one of the first ones that solidified it
+DeltaOracle257 That would be "Born to be wild" by Steppenwolf. Now, while be careful with that axe Eugene is quite heavy rock to be consider as proto-heavy metal by some, Steppenwolf predates them by two years.
I should add that that era of floyd was amazing, I could never hooked up with their later stuff.
*****"Careful" and "Wild" were both released in 1968.
this is some masterpiece from another dimension, artefact-like mindblowing item , perhaps some mythological coercive creature is the origin of this
I listen to this everytime I am anxious. It helps me to calm down a bit
Especially the Scream eh?
Best band the world has ever seen without a doubt considering this track was recorded when most of the people commenting on this page weren't even born .brilliant
I Was 7...
The most Psychedelic music of all times .
Roger waters the magnificent
We've just passed the 50th anniversary of this particular recording of this masterpiece. Can hardly believe it's this old. Also, this was uploaded in 2006, so this has been here for half my life. Good God I'm even ageing myself here and these chaps were younger than I am when they made this recording
the greatest piece of art ever created
Oh, good golly, I was there that night. I played hooky from my very English boarding school (mandatory expulsion if discovered) and hitch-hiked a hundred miles to Brighton. A seventeen year old in musical bliss. Never forgotten. Sends chills up the spine over 40 years on.

This song blows my mind every time I listen to it.....Almost as if someone were putting an axe straight through it...
This was actually recorded 29/6/1972 in the Brighton Dome, England.
Fengpeg Hallow correct
Here I am again, over ten years later. Still, this video captivates me. What incredible art, and thank you for uploading this footage.
Pink Floyd: "We don't do drugs"
also Pink Floyd: 'saddle a smoking fatty to my guitar for break time'
You can trust us.
That organ followed by guitar, from 7:08 to 7:19 it's mind bending. Love it!
superb quality sound through my headphones!
i think it´s the best performance of this song. All the members are flying. The music the esthetic the fusion all is perfect. Psychedelic
Very peaceful song.
To all of you who wanted to find out more about this concert, the description is misleading! This is not Earl's Court 18.05.1973 as described, it is Brighton Dome 29 June 1972. Anyway it is definitely one of the most beautiful 'Axe' performances. This is a true gem
Superb!!!!. If i could i wouldnt care to even pay 1000 or more bucks to have been in this concert. Priceless n worth it. The guys that were in this concert are blessed. So lucky them
I'd like to think there was at least one dude on acid in the audience that didn't know about the screaming part. What a trip he must've had.
I saw Pink Floyd perform this for the first time in years and for the last time ever at the Oakland Arena (Animals/Wish You Were Here) concert on May 7, 1977. There was so much love between and the band, it was their third encore. I think it was 15 minutes long. It was quite a transformative night.
I was born in 1973, I'm 22 years old now.
Cem Temeltaş hmm that doesent seem to add up
@@tannergariepy3408 that's the point
I wish it was still 1995
oh my goodness. I listen to Pink Floyd a lot and I didn't know about this song until someone on Twitter listed this as rock's greatest scream.
I have listened to this exact version at least 4,000 times since this video has been uploaded. NO EXAGGERATION. I ended up buying this on DVD, iTunes, CD, and Vinyl. Enjoy the Creatures of the Deep!
This is the one song that gives me shivers every time I play it. Definitely the best version of Eugene, a hidden gem of Pink Floyd to me.
