Pink Floyd- Have A Cigar Reaction 20k Subs Goal !!! Subscribe for more bit.ly/2t3BV0S TheRealScribe TheRealScribe Snapchat.com/TheRealScribe TheRealScribeCash@gmail.com
Exactly right. Listen to the lyrics again, SC, because Steven absolutely nailed it. It's basically music execs talking to the band and promising them the moon and and the stars, like there's no end to how rich and famous they are going to make them.
@@2GunRock IIRC, that was a true story. Back when they began to gain some fame, one exec went on and on about how great they were and how big they would get if they signed with his record company, and then he asked which one was Pink.
@@2GunRock Steven? You know this one of the few songs Pink Floyd featured a guest singer. None in the band was satisfied with their recordings. Roy Harper was in the same studio and he was hell to work with but that's Roy Harper singing lead. Hats off to Roy Harper
MrTech226 Yes....It’s Pink Anderson and Floyd Council both North Carolina blues players that Syd Barrett had in his record collection, that’s where it came from. After Sigma Six, they went to “The Pink Floyd Sound.” Then just Pink Floyd but for years “The Pink Floyd” kind of stuck. But after Dark Side......it was just Pink Floyd. They are still called “The Floyd” by many in the UK.
The singer on this track is Roy Harper, a british folk rock(?) musician. A good friend of both Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Yeah, that last bit had us old buggers running for our record players wondering what was going on. :-) It Segues into 'Wish you were here'.
Pink Floyd did a lot of smooth transitions into the next song, without a break. So, if you stop during the transition, it can be jarring and not make sense.
@@rosswatson5996 I believe it was that Roger's nor David's voice was not what they wanted and asked Roy to sing it since he was in the same studio building at the time. Though it's been awhile, I might be full of shit.
Alan Peterson Who at any label could tell Pink Floyd what they could or couldn’t do? Pink Floyd pretty much did what they wanted, especially by the time of this album, when they were so successful nobody could possibly say no to them. Besides, I doubt the labels are that afraid of the music business being criticized. If one of the big bands today, like U2 or Arctic Monkeys or Green Day, wanted to do the same who would try to say no to them?
I didn't state not the remastered version. Remasters still use the original recorded version. What I'm recommending is listening to the original studio recording version first, before moving on to later live versions of this and other PF material.
This was their total slam on the music industry management Criticizing the business end Welcome to the machine is the continuation of the sentiment Pink Floyd is top tier badass
I listened to that album so many times when it first came out had to get a 2 or 3 new albums because the needle cut deep grooves in it..but I learned every note of that album. And I said album vinyl album. In them days that's how you learned the music was to play it over and over catch every note. Every once and a while we could find some sheet music..but rare people today dont understand how easy they have it with the internet..
@@bracciodiferro3228 I gotta say I dont know everything they've done, it sounds like pink floyd noises, i'm confused by the title and image? probably flying over my head
The song was criticizing the music industry and how they treat and use thier talent. One instance in the song which is a true story where one record executive actually asked which ones Pink? Like he didn't k ow it was the name of the band. Anyway love your videos and to see you enjoying yourself rocking out . Keep it up. Have a great day.
One of very few Pink Floyd songs featuring someone other than a member of Pink Floyd on lead vocals. This one is sung by Roy Harper, who happened to be in the same studio when they were recording this album, since neither Roger Waters or David Gilmour were particularly happy with their own attempts at singing this particular song. Oh and this song was also covered by Foo Fighters, which I actually dont think is as bad as some people like to make out, I quite like it actually
Love that some of the younger generation is discovering this amazing music (particularly Pink Floyd) that many of use have loved for 40 - 50 years and still love it as much as when we first heard, maybe more. Keep on the PF train!
Even though this is the first video of yours I have come across, this was definitely the best reaction ever and you knew never to pause a Gilmour solo. Amazing!
David Gilmour is one hell of a guitarist. You would never guess that he was born and grew up in a nice stately middle-class family life in Cambridge, England right after World War II. In fact, he played a concert many years ago where he played a solo not all that different from the one in this song. After his set was done on stage, as he went into the wings, a stunned B.B. King came up to him and simply said "Boy; you sure you ain't from Mississippi?"
Are you ready for a trip? are ready for a trip? .. Then let me take you back to 1968, The Chamber Brothers classic TIME HAS COME TODAY . The 11 minute version.
The thing about Gilmour's solo's is that he put them down in one take quite often. He would go on stage and hit the same solo note for note, lick for lick. Makes me weep every time I hear his solo's. They are so beautiful.
hey scribe :) awsm that you're exposing yourself to pink floyd :) pls react to Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - Pulse - Uncut Version (Remastered HD-Widescreen) and pink floyd pompeii 1972 part 1 and GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - Inside Looking Out 1969 live :D 👍

One of the best Floyd songs,from one of their best albums. I remember when I was about 14 first hearing this whole album,I listened to the whole thing every other day for about a month. Btw I love your air keyboards ;) good stuff. keep up the Floyd,and you'll open up a whole new world with some of their early stuff,especially the trippy Syd Barret era from the first album. He was their first singer/guitarist who overdosed on acid and went crazy,and stopped wanting to perform live. They brought in David Gilmour to keep the band going,and his voice became the sound of the band,along with his amazing guitar playing. The whole Wish You Were Here album was pretty much about Syd Barrett as a tribute to him. Shine on your Crazy Diamonds is really talking about him in the lyrics. Extremely good music to smoke up with lol The first time I ever got super duper high smoking weed,me and my friend listened to this whole album and I heard it and fully understood it the right way. It also helps that our weed was laced with some psychedelics .....so yeah,fun stuff.
The picture you had up there was example of a picture is worth a thousand words, shaking the hand of a record industry agent closing a deal, you are getting burned.
Five Zeppelin and Five Pink Floyd Songs i would recommend - Led Zeppelin - No Quarter Trampled Under Foot D'yer Mak'er I'm Gonna Crawl The Rain Song Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) Dogs Echoes Young Lust The Great Gig in The Sky
Ah my favourite Gilmour guitar part, thank you for reacting to this it``s a rare floyd reaction vid. you have legend status with me now girl... kudos....the song is about getting a record deal and eventually getting fucked over and becoming a cash-cow for the record company, hence the picture from the album, the handshake and 1 man is on fire, means your getting burned lol, sung by roy harper who wasnt in pink floyd, and their best album IMO..
And you're just NOW hearing it? I've been listening to them (and this song) for over 44 years.I'm 59 now, but I heard them the first time when I was 14 in 73'.
Well my,.. .''Termintation''..,.(.and Thanks for asking ) , IS tHAT THE LYRICS ARE speaking from Exec's POV of the Record company at the Signing of some new Rising Star they refer to as Boy' whilst Promising him that Together as a ''Team'' , ...''We will Ride the Gravy Train'' ! ...As was the case at the time w/Many others...etc etc...eh'?
My favorite line in this song is "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think...oh, by the way, which one is Pink?" Like so many people back in the day who had heard of Pink Floyd, the label executive actually thought it was the name of someone in the band. They reprise this in The Wall, where the main character of the storyline is named Pink.
I honestly thought you wouldn't like this one as it was maybe too hippy for your tastes.... but YOUR reaction and, comments gave ME a different perception of the song... Never thought of it being FUNKY before...... Thanks for opening my eyes .... ( and mind)....
A scathing critique of the record "industry" (corporate executives, etc.), and the first of 3 PFloyd reaction vids here with normal excellent sound... Yay!
Girl... Check out David Gilmours' track 'No Way Out of Here' from his solo album Gilmour "Gilmour" He did another solo piece of work entitled About Face, Floyds' wordsmith and pianist Rick Wright produced a solo album called 'Wet Dream ' think you'll enjoy. Perhaps you're almost ready to wrap ya head around Syd Barratts' two solo albums he knocked out after leavin the band under a cloud of LSD and pride. Tracks like Gigalo Aunt , Rats, Wolfpack , life changing stuff.
The lyrics are actually the best part. it is essentially written from the viewpoint of a phony record executive blowing smoke up the band's ass. The classic line: The band is just fantastic That is really what I think Oh by the way Which one's Pink? 3:17 LOL there is no one in the band named Pink. It is the collective name for the entire band.
With a bit of irony. It wasn't either David, or Roger singing lead on this one. it was English folk singer Roy Harper. David, and Roger both did takes, but just couldn't quite get it. Even so. Great fn song.
The song is about the music industry. They inviting the band in to smoke a cigar and sign a contract. And they don't even know their names. " By the way, which ones Pink?" Steely Dan Reelin in the Years and Ricky Don't Lose that Number. You'll like those too.
Ironically, they made some bad investments in the 70s. That's the main reason they did what they did to Rick for The Wall tour. That album put them back in the black again.
"by the way which one's Pink" "we're so happy we can hardly count" "it can be made into a monster 👹 if we all pull together as a team" assholes record execs
Check out the lyrics of all Pink Floyd music - especially songs written by Roger Waters, a lot of it is woke politics - power to the people in other words...cheers.
Hey, I was raised on bebop jazz and rock n' roll (Little Richard definitely hit a chord with me as a youngster)... got a Pink Floyd tape from my mom around 17 (which naturally blew my mind) and then went on to 30 before discovering Parliament-Funkadelic on my own.... and they're now one of my all-time favorite bands. Each of us follows their own path. But loving music and being open to new genres is the key to happiness if you ask me. There is so much to discover and explore and so much to open your heart to. It's a real treat to see someone genuinely enjoy their first experience of music that has been part of my life for so long. It really feels like listening to it the first time myself.
There's no shame in saying that as a black person, you weren't exposed to this, just as There's no shame in me admitting that there's a lot of music your parents raised you on that I'm not aware of.
There is a funny story behind this song..the singer if the song was a folk singer recording in the studio next to them..they said there voices was just wrecked and could not do the song so a British folk singer Roy harper volunteered the price he charged was season tickets to the cricket matchs. He took the lyrics home overnight changed some of the lyrics the next morning they recorded it in 1 take.
Loved your reaction on this one. NOW try "One Of These Days" of the 'Meddle' album much like this but also HUGE !!! Not to many lyrics to stumble over, LOL.
You should probably have done, 'Welcome to the Machine' together with this one. Welcome to the Machine precedes this song on the album. In the 70s the album was king. Many bands wrote albums, meant to be listened to in their entirety, rather than singles. Floyd were definitely one of those. In fact, when music streaming began, they tried to stop companies splitting up their albums into individual songs and, as preposterous as it sounds, they sort of had a point... When listening to a Floyd song, you'll often hear strange sounds or 'additional' music, at the beginning and/or end of a track. This is because, on the album, the songs usually flow into each other, without a break. Or will be linked together with some kind of 'soundscape'. The albums will often tell a story, or have a deep narrative theme. All told in a sonic tour de force. The songs make much more sense when heard an album at a time and they become even more powerful. The best way to listen to Floyd is, to pick an album, I recommend either, 'Dark Side of the Moon' or 'Wish You Were Here' to begin with, find a quiet relaxing space, no phone, no distractions and just listen , from the beginning to the end of the album, no pauses. It really is an incredible experience, I promise you. It may sound overblown but it really can be life changing! Anyway... tl/dr - Some songs belong together. 'Welcome to the Machine' and 'Have a Cigar' are such a couple of songs. Sound great separately but better together. :)
Roy Harper, a musician friend of the band, did the vocals on this one. There is also a great blues number by Led Zeppelin called Hats Off To Roy Harper, with killer slide guitar. I was also raised on blues, R&B, soul and Motown but also classic rock. Glad you’re getting into it too. There is real treasure in there!
I never want David Gilmour's guitar solos to end.
Basically the song is about the music industry using the artists to make money exploiting them
Exactly right. Listen to the lyrics again, SC, because Steven absolutely nailed it. It's basically music execs talking to the band and promising them the moon and and the stars, like there's no end to how rich and famous they are going to make them.
Remember this album was the follow up to one of the top selling albums ever. The record execs just had to take this slap in the face.
@@telynns8490 True. The best part is the fictional music exec doesn't even know who's who in the band; OBTW which one's Pink? LOL
@@2GunRock IIRC, that was a true story. Back when they began to gain some fame, one exec went on and on about how great they were and how big they would get if they signed with his record company, and then he asked which one was Pink.

I'm a 60 year old black female and my greatest fantasy is doing air guitar to this song onstage someday. PF 4 Life.
Yeh! 64 going on 24 and still rockin'
Ma'am, You RULE. I hope you have a lovely day.

You sound cool as fuck
Love it! Thanks for the smile.
"By the way which one is Pink?"
Pink and Floyd are names of Blues musicians. They are one of many influences of the band
I love that line, the record exec asking which one is Pink is like asking The band Led Zeppelin which one is Led.
And technically they are all pink. LOL
MrTech226 Yes....It’s Pink Anderson and Floyd Council both North Carolina blues players that Syd Barrett had in his record collection, that’s where it came from. After Sigma Six, they went to “The Pink Floyd Sound.” Then just Pink Floyd but for years “The Pink Floyd” kind of stuck. But after Dark Side......it was just Pink Floyd.

I always thought it was David singing the lead until I found out about Roy being the vocalist on this song about 10 years ago
Yeah, they used Harper on this track...but I can't remember why!
@@rosswatson5996 Didn't Roger Waters have the flu or something?
@@rosswatson5996 I believe it was that Roger's nor David's voice was not what they wanted and asked Roy to sing it since he was in the same studio building at the time. Though it's been awhile, I might be full of shit.
You are artistic enough to get Floyd. You are to be commended.
If you like Synthesizers listen to Pink Floyd's "Welcome To The Machine".
Which comes before this song.
I just listened to this Whoop Whoop!!!
God I love this girls energy and how naturally she lets her movements flow. You just got another subscriber
Amazing that the recording industry allowed them to put out an album criticizing the industry. Different times.

Lynard Skynard... working for MCA
The recording industry would do it all over again... They saw past the critique and saw the money to be had... Same times...
sweethands Sex Pistols ... EMI ... though EMI was quite upset about that one I believe
La mejor reacción que ví de Have a Cigar, tu buena onda, tus pelos al viento, imitando los teclados de Rick, sos una Genia!! 🥰👏👏👏👏👏
Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts 6-9 has one of the funkiest grooves/jams. The song itself is an entire experience.
I showed my son how hip hop was formed ha!
With a reaction like that, who cares what the song is about! You got it.
Pink Floyd live in Pompeii, Echoes
Yes that's Roy Harper on vocals but for years I thought it was Waters singing and it still sounds like him
Glad someone knows their shit ! 👊
Waters voice (and maybe David's) were shot after recording the rest of the album and their previous tour, so they got Roy to do it...
A shout out to all the Harpernauts out there!👋
Pink Floyd is a goldmine for incredible music. "Echoes" might be a good next choice.
Echoes, original studio version (1971).

This song does have that somewhat funk-like grove to it. Love it!! 🚬
It's got a strong funk element to it. Pink Floyd and Bowie both had some serious funk elements. So did Zappa.

LOL there is no one in the band named Pink.
It is the collective name for the entire band.
Time for The Great Gig in the Sky (studio version first).
Yeah,. When I first heard Pink Floyd/ Led Zeplin, I had to go back 10-15 years and collect all their albums. For sure.
This song showcases Roger Waters utter contempt for the record companies. Th:; "which one's Pink?" comment really happened!
With a bit of irony. It wasn't either David, or Roger singing lead on this one. it was English folk singer Roy Harper. David, and Roger both did takes, but just couldn't quite get it. Even so. Great fn song.
They make pedals where you can change the sounds on your Guitar some players have 10or more. Pretty funky. Keep on discovering. It takes you places.
The song is about the music industry. They inviting the band in to smoke a cigar and sign a contract. And they don't even know their names. " By the way, which ones Pink?" Steely Dan Reelin in the Years and Ricky Don't Lose that Number. You'll like those too.
We're so happy we can hardly count!
I bet they were (Pink Floyd's producer(s) I mean).
Ironically, they made some bad investments in the 70s. That's the main reason they did what they did to Rick for The Wall tour. That album put them back in the black again.
The lyrics " ...which of you is pink.." tells a lot about how Pink Floyd was reacting to the companies controlling the music industry at that time
Roy Harper did the vocals on this track. Pink Floyd were probably the first hand to mess around with tape effects.
"by the way which one's Pink"
"we're so happy we can hardly count"

Ok love your energy so much in these reactions. Just damn, girl!
This is one of two songs not sung lead by a member of pink floyd. Roy Harper sang this because roger and david could not get it that high
Flobbo flurp fleeps!!!
Girl, we could get high and listen to classic floyd for hours. It would be a blast!
ScribeCash I love the way you get into the music.
Loved your reaction on this one. NOW try "One Of These Days" of the 'Meddle' album much like this but also HUGE !!! Not to many lyrics to stumble over, LOL.
"Which one's Pink?" Says it all in a few words.
look at me look at you look at me look at you bombopbomb hot´nfun hot´nfun
Think it’s so cool that younger people are liking this genre of music . Rock n roll
Wow girl that hair is Sunday morning fuck up
You should probably have done, 'Welcome to the Machine' together with this one. Welcome to the Machine precedes this song on the album. In the 70s the album was king. Many bands wrote albums, meant to be listened to in their entirety, rather than singles. Floyd were definitely one of those. In fact, when music streaming began, they tried to stop companies splitting up their albums into individual songs and, as preposterous as it sounds, they sort of had a point... When listening to a Floyd song, you'll often hear strange sounds or 'additional' music, at the beginning and/or end of a track. This is because, on the album, the songs usually flow into each other, without a break. Or will be linked together with some kind of 'soundscape'. The albums will often tell a story, or have a deep narrative theme. All told in a sonic tour de force. The songs make much more sense when heard an album at a time and they become even more powerful. The best way to listen to Floyd is, to pick an album, I recommend either, 'Dark Side of the Moon' or 'Wish You Were Here' to begin with, find a quiet relaxing space, no phone, no distractions and just listen , from the beginning to the end of the album, no pauses. It really is an incredible experience, I promise you. It may sound overblown but it really can be life changing! Anyway...
tl/dr - Some songs belong together. 'Welcome to the Machine' and 'Have a Cigar' are such a couple of songs. Sound great separately but better together. :)
Roy Harper really played a blinder. Excellent vocals
Yah... thats a shake and back on that song first thing in the morning hahahaha.. w/ a coffee too :-)~
Roy Harper, a musician friend of the band, did the vocals on this one. There is also a great blues number by Led Zeppelin called Hats Off To Roy Harper, with killer slide guitar. I was also raised on blues, R&B, soul and Motown but also classic rock. Glad you’re getting into it too. There is real treasure in there!
