All the nazi stuff is meant to show how out of it Pink is during his outrage and how isolation can transform people into absolute monsters, even the opposite of who they used to be, it’s also meant to be ironic because his father was killed by Nazis and he is essentially becoming the problem that started the chain reaction that led to him building the wall in the first place.
There was also a weird thing with some 70s rock stars where heavy drug use led to a strange flirtation with far right politics or at least posturing - Bowie's infamous salute during his Thin White Duke phase, Eric Clapton's comments on race at one of his gigs. I think Bowie was just being provocative, stupidly. Clapton has always been more problematic.
@@davidmannion7333 In what way "always" ? Pre- and post- the Birmingham incident, EC was a huge advocate for black musicians from Morganfield to Marley and more [context here for that dumb joke about Jimi's dick] - and more importantly he has emerged as an important advocate for the basic human right to bodily autonomy, in the face of once-unimaginable neo-communist behavior from Western governments.
Yep, Gilmour is the one they’re referring to as the OG vocals. Much more melodic singer than Roger, although Roger’s voice works particularly well on this album with all of the dark places it goes.
@@capsdude4838 If you want to get a real feeling for the difference between the two vocally, listen to Roger trying to sing Wish You Were Here on his In The Flesh tour from 1999. Then listen to David trying to sing the 3rd verse of Hey You on the PULSE live album.
@@brianmoore8407 That's not David singing verse 3 of Hey You on PULSE, that's Guy Pratt singing Roger's part. I think a better comparison would be Roger singing Eclipse on Dark Side vs David singing Eclipse on PULSE.
Actually, Roger spoke fondly of his mother and said that part of overprotective mother wasn't the thing he had in his life. He respected her and said she gave him everything he knows. It isn't just Roger's story, it's partially his, but Pink is fictional character, of course.
People want to apply Pink to Waters too much. They don't understand that "of course" he used SOMETIMES his own experience, he also was INSPIRED by Barret, but it doesn't stop there... Pink is... "A Rock Star"... An idol. It's a fusion of ALL idols of that time... The "nazi quote" about colored people (I don't remember the exact words now), has been said in real life by Eric Clapton in the 70's... So Pink is not "just Pink Floyd" neither, it's also Eric Clapton (particularly the Nazi part :) ).
Mommy and Daddy issues arent a sign of immaturity, they are a psychological certainty that are a byproduct of the human experience. "Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate" - Carl Jung. When John Lennon (preached love...lived love) went solo and played Madison Square Garden he was rich, married, had kids, was at peak fame, and could say whatever he wanted to. He sang his song "Mother"....the live version of which is available just a click away (John Lennon Mother MSG).....thinking you are too "mature" at 21 to have Mommy Issues should seem laughable if you consider Waters/Jung/Lennon's take on things.
@@garryiglesias4074 And Clapton played it on the first solo tour by Roger Waters, after the publishing of The Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking. I've heard Clapton speaking of that racist period of his life in an interview. He sais: "I must have been out of my head, some of my best friends were black actually"
@@lucapolidori8817 Yeah, I don't condemn Clapton for life. He said stupid things, I hope, for him that he's not as bad. I was just pointing at the fact that "pink" is a composite character, inspired by the ambiance of that time, and real events, not at all a simple "Waters only replica".
Back in time when people listen to albums, not songs. At that time, The Wall is literally the best thing in the planet. As an album, The Wall is 100/10. The story, the production, the lyrics, the atmosphere, the emotion, the scary, the intensity. Thats how you end the greatest album run in history. Dark Side of The Moon Wish You Were Here Animals The Wall Pink Floyd is absolutely up there in the greatest band of all time.
I feel like there's a fine line between taking in the narrative of the record and 100% equating the character of Pink to a 1:1 facsimile of Roger Waters. Yes, it's loosely based on Roger Waters' life and experience, and yes he is a flawed individual. Find me someone who isn't. But at its core, this is a somewhat universal fictional story about circumstance, internal defense mechanisms and coming to terms with our trauma and our own decisions. You really shouldn't let it dictate your opinion of who Roger Waters is all that much, and frankly there's a lot more to that story than this album or what you've been told about either it or him, other than this is his art and it speaks for itself.
The live shows of The Wall was so big and expensive they could only afford to do a few shows in the U.S in 1980. During the course of the show a 40-foot high wall of cardboard bricks is slowly constructed across the stage as the show progresses that expanded the full width of the stadium wall to wall. By the end of side 2, ("goodbye cruel world") the final brick is installed and the band is completely walled off from the audience! "Hey You" the beginning of side 3, is performed completely behind the wall while crazy nightmarish animation is projected onto the outside of the edifice. (Pink Floyd had their own animator). Bricks in the Wall are removed here and there to reveal Roger or Dave singing and playing through the rest of the show. Roger appears in front of the wall dressed as a doctor in "Comfortably Numb" as the spots suddenly hit Dave standing on top of the wall to sing the chorus and perform the legendary solos. Show stopper!! Roger appears again as a fascist dictator in full Nazi regalia during "In the Flesh" 1&2. How did the crowd react? they ate it up!! They get it. Roger last toured with The Wall live in 2012 -13 at stadiums all across America. Even bigger and more extravagant than the original shows. It was something to behold. (Did I mention a plane flies across the stadium and crashes into the side of the stage in a ball of flames during the opening "In the flesh"?) every sound and effect is reproduced in 3D surround sound by speakers placed 360 degrees around the stadium as they did with ALL of their live shows, including Pulse.)
My wife and I went to a Roger Waters performance if the wall in Dallas and when the wall came down, some of the cardboard blocks fell on us. It was great.
The story is an embellishment for the sake of the storyline, not to be taken literally as autobiographical. Pink is a FICTIONAL character inspired by elements of both Roger and Syd. In one interview from around the time the album came out, Roger said that one of the things he wanted to point out is how dangerous it is to blindly follow any public figure, be they politician or Rockstar, and that doing so can take you down some pretty dark pathways without you even realizing it. If you're going to hate on Roger do it for the right reasons.. not for coming up with this brilliant, multi-layered concept album.
I came to here to look for this comment. I thought axe as slang for guitar was better know, but lots of people in reaction videos didn’t know it. Love that we all keep learning.
The lore part was absolutely amazing. I spent my teens fanboying over PF, so I know it all, but the caller presented it all so good and coherently. Great storyteller! I can't imagine a better introduction to the album and band!
This seminal album is best listened to by yourself, in one sitting (or on a long roadtrip)...many times...over decades...it will continue to reveal more and more.
i spent many a night, in the 80s, 90s, and probably more, with the lights off and lying on the floor with my legs up on the couch, listening to this whole album on great headphones. full immersion.
"Why the Nazi shit?" This was because it was Fascism that his father had gone to fight against, and it was Fascism that took his father's life and kicked off the entire downward spiral, so it played such an import part of Pinks early life that we see the complete irony that it's Fascism that Pink turns towards as a form of "strength" against the pain of being a normal, caring, loving, human being. The ultimate and most extreme twist of the young rebelling against the ideals of their parents. Definitely a warning to everyone, to beware of those "wannabe dictators" who seek power and immunity from the law governing everyone else. They offer a "sence of belonging" and a "sence of being victimised" to drum up hatred and anger that any reasonable person would immediately identify as a "Cult Worship".
Not at all... Of course his father was KIA, but in that context it's from the 70's fascist rising in Britain. The infamous quote about "colored people back home" or something like that is a REAL LIFE QUOTE... From... Eric Clapton... This sentence had been pronounced by Eric Clapton in the 70's. Pink is not "Roger&Roger"... Pink is an allegory, a stereotype of a "Rock Star becoming crazy". SOME elements are from Waters, some other from Barret, and MANY other from "the typical rock star at THAT time". Problem with celebrity, drugs, girls, losing your head being followed like Jesus. The Wall is about THAT... Not Roger Waters single life like many people tend to believe. And some of them to discredit him accusing him of "fascism".
And given that I just watched some young kids on the streets of Chichester, England, being interviewed, and they said if they could vote they'd vote Reform... Oh my god! The Reform party was set up by leading elites of the establishment, it encourages hate, homophobia, islamophia, it rails against wokeness and promised to make England 'for the English'. I thought only people of a certain age fell for this crap. And there's a 15-year-old, mixed heritage boy telling the interviewer that the Reform party is for the working class, and they'll stop all the immigrants getting housing ahead of English people. Quite how the Reform party has managed to pull such a PR stunt is beyond me. Apparently they're using TikTok to reach the younger generation. It's chilling.
I've always thought of "Pink" as being a combination of Roger's life experiences and associated PTSD and neuroses, with a good dose of Syd's madness. And I think it's essential to know that going in, since in my own experience, I enjoyed this album way more after I understood fully what it was about. It hits a lot harder like that. And Cameron explained it all perfectly.
The Blitz was the period when Germany basically terror bombed London, targeting civilian areas. If you know the history, the introduction to Goodbye, Blue Sky with the plane is so sad and reflects the brutality of modern war. The small child naturally filled with wonder at seeing a large plane in the sky right before it unloads devestation and death.
The wall tour was a financial disaster, and seeing Richard Wright was hired as a touring musician, he was paid $250,000 and was the only one to make any money.
bro I loved the reaction but calling someone a pussy for being traumatized by an emotionally abusive parent is wild. That shit is why people are afraid to seek help for poor mental health.
This album came out in 1979. The movie came out 3 years later. So despite what the millennials say, you don't need to watch the movie to understand the album, you can understand it yourself just by listening, like we did at the time. By the time the movie came out it was like watching a movie based on your favourite book - nice to see but it never matches up to what's in your own imagination.
Thank you. So true. What really gets me is when they call this a soundtrack album. Nothing could be further from the truth. The movie was adapted from the album years later. The album is the original work! Floyd fans and fans of the album understood the piece long before the movie came out. Didn't need it to explain anything to us. If anything the movie falls short.
@@flubblertIndeed. By "explaining the plot" it tends to narrow the work to just one interpretation. When you experience the album on its own, through repeated listens, you form your own interpretation, which can even change over time as you get older and different elements resonate more. And it's just more fun and rewarding to work things out for yourself.
@@dougrussell5002 nothing can beat listening overtime and having the album and its meaning come to you vs the other way around. The album is and always will be the primary and most rewarding way to experience this masterpiece. Patience coupled with a little knowledge and Imagination is its own reward.
You should consider that "Pink" spent a significant portion of his childhood hiding in bomb shelters underground to keep from being killed by Nazi bombing runs. I assume his mother took out her anger, fear, and resentment of their loss by putting all of her efforts into keeping him safe. Even at the cost of closing Pink off from the rest of the world (the wall's foundation). Any psych expert will tell you a kid's relationship with their parents will help to form their identity for the rest of their lives. There is a difference between blaming someone and finding the root cause of childhood trauma.
I'm sure others have already said this, but Pink Floyd had 3 vocalists during their classic period. David Gilmour (the guitarist and best of the three singers) is the one who sang the chorus of Comfortably Numb, Hey You, etc. Roger sings the majority of this album, which is why it sounds so strained. Rick, the keyboardist, sang a lot during the earlier years. FYI, David wrote the music for Young Lust, Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell.
The guy who stars as Pink in the movie is the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, Bob Geldof...better known as the organizer of the 1985 Live Aid concert.
someone probably said this before but you do realize alot of these songs are duets between Roger and Dave.....Roger is always the voice that has tension and Dave is the relief...Dave is the soulfull soothing voice that leads you to serenity and Roger is angsty and sometimes angry voice that sparks the lyrics.....and yes when they played this live for the wall tour Roger wore a lab coat and spoke to pink behind the Wall, while dave appeared above the wall to dleiver his solo that brought the album to its crescendo.
"When the Tigers Broke Free" explains the death of his father which is in the movie but not the album, instead included on "The Final Cut." imo, it's the hardest song of the story and worth a listen.
The album was Roger holding up a mirror to his own childhood, the loss of his dad fighting in Italy, his mental health growing without his dad and what was politically happening here in England at the time of its inception. In the late 1970's we saw rise in young white men joining fascist far right groups like the national front and the BNP. These groups duped young working class men into thinking that it was foreigners and people of colour who were behind them being unable to find work when it was in fact it was globalisation, cheap imports, government policies and the global economy as a whole that closed down the factory jobs they tended to work in. These groups were very often violent particularly at football matches. Roger was somewhat bitter and angry that these groups were gaining political ground in the UK and the album was kind of father didn’t die fighting fascism for them to them to try and gain power in the UK.
The reason Pink became a nazi was because he was so crazy and bitter towards everyone outside his wall. The reason he stops and puts himself on trial is because he realizes he's becoming the very thing that killed his father. The very thing that began the creation of his wall.
Right?! Also skipping the phone call at the end of the first half where he’s trying to call his wife back in England but a man keeps answering and hanging up. So much depth added in a few seconds and they totally missed it.
The reason you liked the chorus vocals on Comfortably Numb so much is because it’s David Gilmour the guitarist singing, who is a much better vocalist than Waters. Gilmour sang most of dark side of the moon and wish you were here. Animals is when Waters took over a majority of the vocals until he left the band.
One thing worth noting is the contrast between his father who died in World War II fighting fascist Nazi’s and now he has become what his father fought and he sees the disturbances in his head.
I’d recommend for some artists to listen to next would be Black Sabbath(pioneers of metal), Led Zeppelin (hard rock, amazing guitar solos), or King Crimson(same genre as Pink Floyd)
You should be considering Pink Floyd as the big 5, which would include MEDDLE, it is a great album and when you consider the absolute huge musicality of the work, it deserves being listed up there with the rest!
I consider it to be a big 7 honestly Meddle, OBC, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, Wall, and Final Cut ALL in equal quality, Meddle and OBC being just a smidge lower
@@treestumps_I’d mostly agree, but Obscured by Clouds, while great, is a level below the rest, and the Final Cut is honestly kinda of trash imo because it’s basically a Roger Waters solo album with the begrudging backing of the other three members, and quite honestly the album reeks of that. I’d replace the Final Cut with Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Four albums to add to the list if they aren't already there: The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - GY!BE Toxicity - System Of A Down The Glow, Pt. 2 - The Microphones
Bought this album right after it came out. I had just turned 18 and yeah there was no context I will be 62 on my birthday and I still listen to this and other pf albums regularly and then sometimes I can watch two young guys that aren't much older than I was back then listening to some of my favorite music ~ life is good enjoy it gentlemen
Blaming Roger Waters only for the firing of Rick Wright is so annoying. Gilmour was just as on board for firing him as Waters was, people forget that Gilmour has the final say on the history of PF at this point, everything about this band now runs through him (a band he didn’t even start)
Rick Wright was relaxing on a yacht somewhere warm and the band had a deadline to finish the album. He wasn't being lazy though, he was trying to recover from some kind of breakdown and didn't feel able to continue working on the album. So they couldn't agree.
@@Dekoherence-ii8pw IIRC He was struggling with a cocaine addiction and going through a divorce and wasn't willing to spend more time with the band as they were struggling with bankruptcy at the time so they let him go. For the tour they hired him as a session musician so he was ironically the only one to make money off of the tour, but he also played as best as he could in hopes that they'd let him back into the band, something that would only be done after Roger had left and Gilmour had fully taken over.
He said “claw your way through this disguise.” This album was definitely part of the 80’s anxiety road. The “blitz” was the numbing of England during world war 2. He told you his father died in the very first song. “Daddy’s flown across the ocean. Leaving just a memory.”
11:30 and i might add, the guy giving the description of the wall is so on point. that was quite possibly one of thee best descriptions of the wall ever. well done!! :D :D
In “One of my Turns”, what he meant by “You’ll find my favorite axe” was literally just his favorite guitar. Axe is a common slang term for an electric guitar.
I saw this concert in LA. They only performed this concert a very limited number of times and my friends and I were lucky enough to get tickets to the second night of their week in LA. Every time they said “it’s just another brick in the wall” another brick was placed between the band and the audience. The album was a two disc set, by the end of the first disc there was a 30-40’ wall across the stage with the brick filling a backlit signer saying “Goodbye”. Third side of the album they would appear in openings in the wall, like an apartment scene, but “pink” never looks out at the audience. During “Comfortably Numb”, the guitar solo was performed from atop the wall. During the course of the concert, they blew us away with 40’ puppets, a plane crash, and flowers fucking! One buddy said of the flowers fucking, “I almost came and I think that half the audience did!”
I haven't listened to this whole album in a real long time. Just stumbled on your reaction and it really brought me back about four decades. Thank you. They only did four or five concerts on the tour of this album because it was so involved and expensive (why Rick Wright, as a contract employee, was the only one who made money on the tour), but there is an immaculately recorded live album of one of the shows that I recommend you listen to. It will show you how incredibly perfectly they pulled off the live performance.
I have been listening to this since its release (I’m old). Do yourself a favor and listen to it again in 5 year intervals. Also listen to Dark Side of the Moon again and again thru the years. Age and experience will reveal just how brilliant these guys were to be so young.
FYI - AXE is slang for guitar - The room has the guitars he uses in the show, and he asks the groupie "Do you want to see my favorite axe". "Comfortably Numb" is arguably the song that was the nail that broke the division between Roger Waters and David Gilmore. Gilmore wrote the song, and was singing the part of Pink "There is no pain, you are receding...", and the entire song was like that. Waters put the part of the doctor in, and was singing that part. Gilmore and Waters had a huge argument over how the song should go because it was hugely personal.to David, and he didn't want Roger bringing in the doctor parts. Their producer sided with Rodger, and went behind David's back to give us the cut we got. David, to his credit recognizes the complete artistry of the collaborative effort and plays "Comfortably Numb as it appears on the album Also, the first guitar solo is mellow and warmer tones, where as the second solo is a harsher, more biting solo. There's a reason for that. Compare the two conversations in the different parts of the song. It's like Pink has gone through a transformation from the kid wanting to make music to the rock star and someone he doesn't know. "In the Flesh?" and "In the Flesh" are two different parts of the same song. Note the ? on the first one you hear. in the opening of the album.
Its not only "ROGER"s album, its pinks Floyd album, everyone did perfect on performing and lyrics, The "idea" of it , - its really a Impact to reality, theres bad things , and remembering what was wrong makes you improve. The Wall is everything is wrong and Wright at the same time.
I love the begining of goodbye blue sky with young pink saying "look mom theres an airplane in the sky". From an innocent childs eye its just a plane but for the mom its a scar.
You accidentally cut off his phone call home to his wife with a strange man's voice answering and hanging up. That is why he started smashing things. You need to listen again all the way through with the lyrics in front of you without filming it to really appreciate it. Then watch the movie 😊
Not gonna lie: The Wall double album is one of the best things i've ever listened to and despite me hating almost every Musical movie, Pink Floyd's The Wall movie is a must watch experience!
I am only 19 minutes in but just had to pause the video to say I love this. I first listened to this album in the 90s - right around your age I suspect. Listened kind of like you are now (in the video, comfortable, on headphones with a friend). Complete with allergy sniffs hahahaha. This album changed my life. This album was the first time I truly experienced transcendence and ego loss into both dark and light. Utterly transportive. No psychedelics at the time - just allergy sniffs. OK ... I will unpause now and keep going. Thank you guys for this. In the words of The Final Cut ... "memories come rushing up to meet me now ..." 🙏
You need to dig into the historical context in Britain in the 70's. There were a rise of neo fascist. In fact in the song, the words have been pronounced in REAL LIFE by Eric Clapton himself (about the colored to go back home !!). It's real life retell, Pink is on the "personal side" Roger & Roger (Barret & Waters). But it's also on a symbolic level "The Rock Star", "The Idol"... The crazy one moving crowds behind him while he's himself totally lost. It's not strictly a bio, Roger Waters is far more brilliant than that. Some specific takes (the death of his father) is an alibi in story telling, to talk about a more general problems of "children home alone". He was talking politics. Vera Lynn was a singer in the WWII, her most famous song was about "We'll meet again". A false promise from the propaganda of war. Also, R.Waters have no problem with his mother and always praise her. The mother in the Wall is symbolic. Of course you can pick "real life" stuff in the story, but forget it. Pink is "nobody", Pink is a Rock Star becoming crazy and fascist. That was the context of 70's. Waters hates fascists. He created a character where "in this universe" he becomes fascist because he's lost and self centered.
I remember in 7th grade, last day of school before summer and the school bus driver was blasting this on the school bus. Of course, this song isn't really anti-education. It's speaking out against rigid conformity and stifling creativity and individuality. But to us kids, it was just a big middle finger to the school!
In addition to the actual movie, waters did a tour show of the wall which they made a film of and it’s much more modern and really really great considering it’s a concert. I would love to have seen that concert. Look it up. Worth seeing.
During comfortably numb the voice that you liked better was David Gilmour almost the entire album with sung by Roger, but the more calming voice is David
Did you catch the *VERY* last whispered vocal "Isn't this where..." and the *VERY* first vocal before track one "...we came in?" ? It bookmarks the album into an eternal loop.
They were tipped off about the verbal bookends - my question is did they actually hear either the "phone call" sequence or the audible part of the fascist-march instructions, or just yakkety-yak their way through them like a pair of putrid twunts, as usual.
I love how the emotions are just dragged up and down continuously through the album, and with the movie addin some amazing imager, it really does rock to the core
"outside the wall" sums up the story by saying no matter how bad things are,and how removed from the world someone becomes, "the ones who really love you" have it worse by trying to help you. "after all, it's not easy banging your heart against some mad buggers wall".
As a musician and a huge Pink Anderson-Floyd Council fan, I love what you guys are doing. Very entertaining. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada...Actually now getting further in I enjoyed the musician dude. Breaking up the album in sniipets I can't watch or handle..
Clearly I am going through all your videos rn, haha. But whenever Comfortably Numb comes on, it's just a totally surreal, physical and emotional experience. The music conduction just moves you and then the depth of the lyrics...whew

But at its core, this is a somewhat universal fictional story about circumstance, internal defense mechanisms and coming to terms with our trauma and our own decisions. You really shouldn't let it dictate your opinion of who Roger Waters is all that much, and frankly there's a lot more to that story than this album or what you've been told about either it or him, other than this is his art and it speaks for itself.
This is not a record for the literal minded.
Well said
Excellently put!
The live shows of The Wall was so big and expensive they could only afford to do a few shows in the U.S in 1980. During the course of the show a 40-foot high wall of cardboard bricks is slowly constructed across the stage as the show progresses that expanded the full width of the stadium wall to wall. By the end of side 2, ("goodbye cruel world") the final brick is installed and the band is completely walled off from the audience!
"Hey You" the beginning of side 3, is performed completely behind the wall while crazy nightmarish animation is projected onto the outside of the edifice. (Pink Floyd had their own animator). Bricks in the Wall are removed here and there to reveal Roger or Dave singing and playing through the rest of the show. Roger appears in front of the wall dressed as a doctor in "Comfortably Numb" as the spots suddenly hit Dave standing on top of the wall to sing the chorus and perform the legendary solos. Show stopper!!
Roger appears again as a fascist dictator in full Nazi regalia during "In the Flesh" 1&2. How did the crowd react? they ate it up!! They get it.
Roger last toured with The Wall live in 2012 -13 at stadiums all across America. Even bigger and more extravagant than the original shows. It was something to behold.
(Did I mention a plane flies across the stadium and crashes into the side of the stage in a ball of flames during the opening "In the flesh"?) every sound and effect is reproduced in 3D surround sound by speakers placed 360 degrees around the stadium as they did with ALL of their live shows, including Pulse.)
Go BIG or go home.
@@DannyMylercomfynumb and nobody went bigger than these guys.
i saw one of the LA shows. it was amazing.
My wife and I went to a Roger Waters performance if the wall in Dallas and when the wall came down, some of the cardboard blocks fell on us. It was great.
@@robertspain3742 it's a shame you couldn't steal it as a keepsake.
The story is an embellishment for the sake of the storyline,
not to be taken literally as autobiographical. Pink is a FICTIONAL character inspired by elements of both Roger and Syd.
In one interview from around the time the album came out, Roger said that one of the things he wanted to point out is how dangerous it is to blindly follow any public figure, be they politician or Rockstar, and that doing so can take you down some pretty dark pathways without you even realizing it.
If you're going to hate on Roger do it for the right reasons.. not for coming up with this brilliant, multi-layered concept album.
"Stop yapping" was definitely a good suggestion
What😂
holy crap ive nevber seen a 14 min intro that was better than Valium
Like, you know, that's like, you know . . . like, that's just like, you know, your opinion, maaaaaan.
He wouldn’t stfu
"Embrace"
"You'll find my favorite ax" : Ax was a slang term for guitar but was likely deliberately chosen here to evoke the double meaning.
Or more accurately, axe, as the album and lyrics were written by a Brit!
I came to here to look for this comment. I thought axe as slang for guitar was better know, but lots of people in reaction videos didn’t know it. Love that we all keep learning.
That part always reminded me of American psycho
The lore part was absolutely amazing. I spent my teens fanboying over PF, so I know it all, but the caller presented it all so good and coherently. Great storyteller!
I can't imagine a better introduction to the album and band!
This seminal album is best listened to by yourself, in one sitting (or on a long roadtrip)...many times...over decades...it will continue to reveal more and more.
i spent many a night, in the 80s, 90s, and probably more, with the lights off and lying on the floor with my legs up on the couch, listening to this whole album on great headphones. full immersion.
"Why the Nazi shit?" This was because it was Fascism that his father had gone to fight against, and it was Fascism that took his father's life and kicked off the entire downward spiral, so it played such an import part of Pinks early life that we see the complete irony that it's Fascism that Pink turns towards as a form of "strength" against the pain of being a normal, caring, loving, human being.
The ultimate and most extreme twist of the young rebelling against the ideals of their parents.
Definitely a warning to everyone, to beware of those "wannabe dictators" who seek power and immunity from the law governing everyone else.
They offer a "sence of belonging" and a "sence of being victimised" to drum up hatred and anger that any reasonable person would immediately identify as a "Cult Worship".
Not at all... Of course his father was KIA, but in that context it's from the 70's fascist rising in Britain. The infamous quote about "colored people back home" or something like that is a REAL LIFE QUOTE... From... Eric Clapton... This sentence had been pronounced by Eric Clapton in the 70's. Pink is not "Roger&Roger"... Pink is an allegory, a stereotype of a "Rock Star becoming crazy". SOME elements are from Waters, some other from Barret, and MANY other from "the typical rock star at THAT time". Problem with celebrity, drugs, girls, losing your head being followed like Jesus. The Wall is about THAT... Not Roger Waters single life like many people tend to believe. And some of them to discredit him accusing him of "fascism".
And also because Roger has all his life been against Fascism. Yes, it's fascism folks, what's going on right now.
Fascism aka the most successful system in the world's history...so successful it had to be destroyed
the last part is why I, a scandinavian, follow the american election so closely.... lol
And given that I just watched some young kids on the streets of Chichester, England, being interviewed, and they said if they could vote they'd vote Reform... Oh my god!
The Reform party was set up by leading elites of the establishment, it encourages hate, homophobia, islamophia, it rails against wokeness and promised to make England 'for the English'. I thought only people of a certain age fell for this crap. And there's a 15-year-old, mixed heritage boy telling the interviewer that the Reform party is for the working class, and they'll stop all the immigrants getting housing ahead of English people. Quite how the Reform party has managed to pull such a PR stunt is beyond me. Apparently they're using TikTok to reach the younger generation. It's chilling.
The second solo from Comfortably Numb is considered one of the greatest solos ever created. David Gilmour is God!
Jump cutting through the 2nd solo of Comfortably Numb is music sacrilege
I don’t think there is a more pure emotional guitar solo than the one in Comfortably Numb.
One of the most iconic and moving guitar solos ever recorded.
There's definitely an argument for High Hopes off of The Division Bell, but Comfortably Numb rightly deserves its plaudits.
I've always thought of "Pink" as being a combination of Roger's life experiences and associated PTSD and neuroses, with a good dose of Syd's madness. And I think it's essential to know that going in, since in my own experience, I enjoyed this album way more after I understood fully what it was about. It hits a lot harder like that. And Cameron explained it all perfectly.
The Blitz was the period when Germany basically terror bombed London, targeting civilian areas. If you know the history, the introduction to Goodbye, Blue Sky with the plane is so sad and reflects the brutality of modern war. The small child naturally filled with wonder at seeing a large plane in the sky right before it unloads devestation and death.
The wall tour was a financial disaster, and seeing Richard Wright was hired as a touring musician, he was paid $250,000 and was the only one to make any money.
Poetic
Maybe so but Rick wright was half the sound.
@@Zeus-the-mighty without a doubt!
48:10, that's not waters singing, it's David Gilmour.
Kameron, you legend. Absolutely set the lads up with everything they needed to crack on with the album!!
bro I loved the reaction but calling someone a pussy for being traumatized by an emotionally abusive parent is wild. That shit is why people are afraid to seek help for poor mental health.
Worst thing is the album is from 1979 and these people are talking like this in 2024
such an Ignorant thing to say right?
This album came out in 1979. The movie came out 3 years later. So despite what the millennials say, you don't need to watch the movie to understand the album, you can understand it yourself just by listening, like we did at the time. By the time the movie came out it was like watching a movie based on your favourite book - nice to see but it never matches up to what's in your own imagination.
Thank you. So true. What really gets me is when they call this a soundtrack album. Nothing could be further from the truth. The movie was adapted from the album years later. The album is the original work! Floyd fans and fans of the album understood the piece long before the movie came out. Didn't need it to explain anything to us. If anything the movie falls short.
@@flubblertIndeed. By "explaining the plot" it tends to narrow the work to just one interpretation. When you experience the album on its own, through repeated listens, you form your own interpretation, which can even change over time as you get older and different elements resonate more. And it's just more fun and rewarding to work things out for yourself.
@@dougrussell5002 nothing can beat listening overtime and having the album and its meaning come to you vs the other way around. The album is and always will be the primary and most rewarding way to experience this masterpiece. Patience coupled with a little knowledge and Imagination is its own reward.
Completely agree. Do not watch the movie before getting a personal understanding of what the album is about!
Yep.
The call-in was a great idea. ❤ Awesome video as always and you guys may be blown away by the band Rush
Axe is slang for guitar
And there is a movie of this album.
You should consider that "Pink" spent a significant portion of his childhood hiding in bomb shelters underground to keep from being killed by Nazi bombing runs. I assume his mother took out her anger, fear, and resentment of their loss by putting all of her efforts into keeping him safe. Even at the cost of closing Pink off from the rest of the world (the wall's foundation). Any psych expert will tell you a kid's relationship with their parents will help to form their identity for the rest of their lives. There is a difference between blaming someone and finding the root cause of childhood trauma.
"Stop yapping" lives in my head rent free XD
I'm sure others have already said this, but Pink Floyd had 3 vocalists during their classic period. David Gilmour (the guitarist and best of the three singers) is the one who sang the chorus of Comfortably Numb, Hey You, etc. Roger sings the majority of this album, which is why it sounds so strained. Rick, the keyboardist, sang a lot during the earlier years.
FYI, David wrote the music for Young Lust, Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell.
Its been mentioned, ha, I've written it on every reaction but they still haven't gotten it, but what can you do :) ??
The guy who stars as Pink in the movie is the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, Bob Geldof...better known as the organizer of the 1985 Live Aid concert.
Kameron seems like a really cool guy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Bro is a real one for informing yall💯
Real groomer
someone probably said this before but you do realize alot of these songs are duets between Roger and Dave.....Roger is always the voice that has tension and Dave is the relief...Dave is the soulfull soothing voice that leads you to serenity and Roger is angsty and sometimes angry voice that sparks the lyrics.....and yes when they played this live for the wall tour Roger wore a lab coat and spoke to pink behind the Wall, while dave appeared above the wall to dleiver his solo that brought the album to its crescendo.
When in One of My Turns Roger sings "my favorite axe" it has double meaning: actual axe and type of gitaur, cause Pink is musician
I got this album when I was in 4th grade I’m 51 and still have it to this day. Great album
"When the Tigers Broke Free" explains the death of his father which is in the movie but not the album, instead included on "The Final Cut." imo, it's the hardest song of the story and worth a listen.
The album was Roger holding up a mirror to his own childhood, the loss of his dad fighting in Italy, his mental health growing without his dad and what was politically happening here in England at the time of its inception. In the late 1970's we saw rise in young white men joining fascist far right groups like the national front and the BNP. These groups duped young working class men into thinking that it was foreigners and people of colour who were behind them being unable to find work when it was in fact it was globalisation, cheap imports, government policies and the global economy as a whole that closed down the factory jobs they tended to work in. These groups were very often violent particularly at football matches. Roger was somewhat bitter and angry that these groups were gaining political ground in the UK and the album was kind of father didn’t die fighting fascism for them to them to try and gain power in the UK.
The reason Pink became a nazi was because he was so crazy and bitter towards everyone outside his wall.
The reason he stops and puts himself on trial is because he realizes he's becoming the very thing that killed his father. The very thing that began the creation of his wall.
The building of this wall and the attainment of ultimate power, being a fascist dictator, keeps out the very thing we all need, love.
Cutting off the end of Comfortably Numb was harsh brothers 😂
Right?! Also skipping the phone call at the end of the first half where he’s trying to call his wife back in England but a man keeps answering and hanging up. So much depth added in a few seconds and they totally missed it.
Right on.
@nicolasmartinez795 yes I know that’s not the part you cut out, nbd tho
David Gilmour and Roger Waters had a lot of similarities with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Goat Duo. 🐐🐐
Yes sir 😫😫
Or Roger Hodgson and Richard Davies of Supertramp.
@kevinmcfarlane2752 I second this. Supertramp is so good, and seeing the live performances in the 70s I get the same vibe as Waters and Gilmour
The reason you liked the chorus vocals on Comfortably Numb so much is because it’s David Gilmour the guitarist singing, who is a much better vocalist than Waters. Gilmour sang most of dark side of the moon and wish you were here. Animals is when Waters took over a majority of the vocals until he left the band.
Meddle is my favourite Pink Floyd album
One thing worth noting is the contrast between his father who died in World War II fighting fascist Nazi’s and now he has become what his father fought and he sees the disturbances in his head.
Feel like you slept through Hey You. I know it's hard to catch everything on the first listen, but that song is soul crushingly good.
I’d recommend for some artists to listen to next would be Black Sabbath(pioneers of metal), Led Zeppelin (hard rock, amazing guitar solos), or King Crimson(same genre as Pink Floyd)
Yes, they absolutely have to do some King Crimson!!
They definitely have to do "In the court of the crimson king" album... It's still the best progressive rock album of all time in my opinion
Ax is slang for a Guitar.
Ha! Kids these days.
@@Zeus-the-mighty”axe” is still common slang for guitar, it aint a “kids these days” thing lol
@@treestumps_ hey, we don’t need no education
😂😂😂😂 I honestly can’t tell if this thread went to shit or not.
You should be considering Pink Floyd as the big 5, which would include MEDDLE, it is a great album and when you consider the absolute huge musicality of the work, it deserves being listed up there with the rest!
I consider it to be a big 7 honestly
Meddle, OBC, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, Wall, and Final Cut
ALL in equal quality, Meddle and OBC being just a smidge lower
@@treestumps_I’d mostly agree, but Obscured by Clouds, while great, is a level below the rest, and the Final Cut is honestly kinda of trash imo because it’s basically a Roger Waters solo album with the begrudging backing of the other three members, and quite honestly the album reeks of that. I’d replace the Final Cut with Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Nine inch nails - the downward spiral and nine inch nails - the fragile albums also. Will blow your minds.
Especially The Fragile which has somehow gone from being feted as a masterpiece to falling through the cracks of history.
@@Grithron2 it’s my fav NIN record. It’s my favorite record of all time.
Four albums to add to the list if they aren't already there:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - GY!BE
Toxicity - System Of A Down
The Glow, Pt. 2 - The Microphones
+2 for toxicity
Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life would also be amazing.
And MBDTF
and TPAB
Joy division unknown pleasures
When you guys say that you prefer “when he does this tone of voice”, that’s David Gilmour singing. The rest is Roger Waters.
Bought this album right after it came out. I had just turned 18 and yeah there was no context I will be 62 on my birthday and I still listen to this and other pf albums regularly and then sometimes I can watch two young guys that aren't much older than I was back then listening to some of my favorite music ~ life is good enjoy it gentlemen
Blaming Roger Waters only for the firing of Rick Wright is so annoying. Gilmour was just as on board for firing him as Waters was, people forget that Gilmour has the final say on the history of PF at this point, everything about this band now runs through him (a band he didn’t even start)
Correct👍
Yes, Roger asked for and received Gilmour's approval for letting Wright go.
Rick Wright was relaxing on a yacht somewhere warm and the band had a deadline to finish the album. He wasn't being lazy though, he was trying to recover from some kind of breakdown and didn't feel able to continue working on the album. So they couldn't agree.
Finally a voice of reason, everyone always vilifies Roger but I don't believe he left because he thought he was to good for the band.
@@Dekoherence-ii8pw IIRC He was struggling with a cocaine addiction and going through a divorce and wasn't willing to spend more time with the band as they were struggling with bankruptcy at the time so they let him go. For the tour they hired him as a session musician so he was ironically the only one to make money off of the tour, but he also played as best as he could in hopes that they'd let him back into the band, something that would only be done after Roger had left and Gilmour had fully taken over.
He said “claw your way through this disguise.” This album was definitely part of the 80’s anxiety road. The “blitz” was the numbing of England during world war 2. He told you his father died in the very first song. “Daddy’s flown across the ocean. Leaving just a memory.”
11:30 and i might add, the guy giving the description of the wall is so on point. that was quite possibly one of thee best descriptions of the wall ever. well done!! :D :D
props to Kameron for knowing his stuff
“The blitz” one of the most terrifying moments in history for some people lol
33:38 an axe is a nickname for a guitar
In “One of my Turns”, what he meant by “You’ll find my favorite axe” was literally just his favorite guitar. Axe is a common slang term for an electric guitar.
33:37 an 'Axe' is a term for a guitar :) maybe already mentioned lol
Roger's father really was killed in WWII, and his grandfather killed in WWI. I'm sure this created a lot of the angst heard in The Wall.
The call in concept was very cool, nice touch to the video.
I saw this concert in LA. They only performed this concert a very limited number of times and my friends and I were lucky enough to get tickets to the second night of their week in LA. Every time they said “it’s just another brick in the wall” another brick was placed between the band and the audience. The album was a two disc set, by the end of the first disc there was a 30-40’ wall across the stage with the brick filling a backlit signer saying “Goodbye”. Third side of the album they would appear in openings in the wall, like an apartment scene, but “pink” never looks out at the audience. During “Comfortably Numb”, the guitar solo was performed from atop the wall. During the course of the concert, they blew us away with 40’ puppets, a plane crash, and flowers fucking! One buddy said of the flowers fucking, “I almost came and I think that half the audience did!”
I haven't listened to this whole album in a real long time. Just stumbled on your reaction and it really brought me back about four decades. Thank you. They only did four or five concerts on the tour of this album because it was so involved and expensive (why Rick Wright, as a contract employee, was the only one who made money on the tour), but there is an immaculately recorded live album of one of the shows that I recommend you listen to. It will show you how incredibly perfectly they pulled off the live performance.
I have been listening to this since its release (I’m old). Do yourself a favor and listen to it again in 5 year intervals. Also listen to Dark Side of the Moon again and again thru the years. Age and experience will reveal just how brilliant these guys were to be so young.
FYI - AXE is slang for guitar - The room has the guitars he uses in the show, and he asks the groupie "Do you want to see my favorite axe".
"Comfortably Numb" is arguably the song that was the nail that broke the division between Roger Waters and David Gilmore. Gilmore wrote the song, and was singing the part of Pink "There is no pain, you are receding...", and the entire song was like that. Waters put the part of the doctor in, and was singing that part. Gilmore and Waters had a huge argument over how the song should go because it was hugely personal.to David, and he didn't want Roger bringing in the doctor parts. Their producer sided with Rodger, and went behind David's back to give us the cut we got. David, to his credit recognizes the complete artistry of the collaborative effort and plays "Comfortably Numb as it appears on the album
Also, the first guitar solo is mellow and warmer tones, where as the second solo is a harsher, more biting solo. There's a reason for that. Compare the two conversations in the different parts of the song. It's like Pink has gone through a transformation from the kid wanting to make music to the rock star and someone he doesn't know.
"In the Flesh?" and "In the Flesh" are two different parts of the same song. Note the ? on the first one you hear. in the opening of the album.
Make that the big 5, you need to do "Meddle" which has the longest and best song ever "Echoes"
Great idea to have Cameron on at the beginning to give you all the pertinent info. 👍🏽
(My profile pic 👈🏽 is from the Empty Spaces part of the movie)
Its not only "ROGER"s album, its pinks Floyd album, everyone did perfect on performing and lyrics, The "idea" of it , - its really a Impact to reality, theres bad things , and remembering what was wrong makes you improve. The Wall is everything is wrong and Wright at the same time.
you’ll find my favorite axe= you’ll find my favorite guitar
I love the begining of goodbye blue sky with young pink saying "look mom theres an airplane in the sky". From an innocent childs eye its just a plane but for the mom its a scar.
been waiting awhile for this one, pleasure to watch well done
You accidentally cut off his phone call home to his wife with a strange man's voice answering and hanging up. That is why he started smashing things. You need to listen again all the way through with the lyrics in front of you without filming it to really appreciate it. Then watch the movie 😊
3:29 i love the david GLEmore
Not gonna lie: The Wall double album is one of the best things i've ever listened to and despite me hating almost every Musical movie, Pink Floyd's The Wall movie is a must watch experience!
Really loved the introduction call in by Kameron, and I have just started this video. Gg guys
I am only 19 minutes in but just had to pause the video to say I love this. I first listened to this album in the 90s - right around your age I suspect. Listened kind of like you are now (in the video, comfortable, on headphones with a friend). Complete with allergy sniffs hahahaha. This album changed my life. This album was the first time I truly experienced transcendence and ego loss into both dark and light. Utterly transportive. No psychedelics at the time - just allergy sniffs. OK ... I will unpause now and keep going. Thank you guys for this. In the words of The Final Cut ... "memories come rushing up to meet me now ..." 🙏
You need to dig into the historical context in Britain in the 70's. There were a rise of neo fascist. In fact in the song, the words have been pronounced in REAL LIFE by Eric Clapton himself (about the colored to go back home !!). It's real life retell, Pink is on the "personal side" Roger & Roger (Barret & Waters). But it's also on a symbolic level "The Rock Star", "The Idol"... The crazy one moving crowds behind him while he's himself totally lost. It's not strictly a bio, Roger Waters is far more brilliant than that. Some specific takes (the death of his father) is an alibi in story telling, to talk about a more general problems of "children home alone". He was talking politics. Vera Lynn was a singer in the WWII, her most famous song was about "We'll meet again". A false promise from the propaganda of war.
Also, R.Waters have no problem with his mother and always praise her. The mother in the Wall is symbolic. Of course you can pick "real life" stuff in the story, but forget it. Pink is "nobody", Pink is a Rock Star becoming crazy and fascist.
That was the context of 70's. Waters hates fascists. He created a character where "in this universe" he becomes fascist because he's lost and self centered.
I remember in 7th grade, last day of school before summer and the school bus driver was blasting this on the school bus. Of course, this song isn't really anti-education. It's speaking out against rigid conformity and stifling creativity and individuality. But to us kids, it was just a big middle finger to the school!
You all actually did it! Congrats--!!
In addition to the actual movie, waters did a tour show of the wall which they made a film of and it’s much more modern and really really great considering it’s a concert. I would love to have seen that concert. Look it up. Worth seeing.
My all time favorite album
I've been listening to this album since it came out in the 80's. Kameron offered a lot of information that I did not know. Great information!
I simply love watching you guys live this album for the first time. Takes me back.
I was 18 when this came out, my last year of high school.
*Comfortably Numb* always gets everyone the first time 😁
For the slower songs, *Mother* can't be beat.
I really like, that you really did the deep dive up front, thanks Kameron for the opening! :)
“Hopefully it’s a lot more lighthearted” 🤣
I saw this movie without knowing anything about Pink Floyd way back in 1983. I was an instant Pink Floyd fan and have been ever since!!
During comfortably numb the voice that you liked better was David Gilmour almost the entire album with sung by Roger, but the more calming voice is David
Legendary album, legendary memories driving early 80's with my dad playing the tapes in the car. Well done lads, thanks
Did you catch the *VERY* last whispered vocal "Isn't this where..." and the *VERY* first vocal before track one "...we came in?" ? It bookmarks the album into an eternal loop.
They were tipped off about the verbal bookends - my question is did they actually hear either the "phone call" sequence or the audible part of the fascist-march instructions, or just yakkety-yak their way through them like a pair of putrid twunts, as usual.
They talked so much idk how they heard anything
@@Grithron2ha ha! 😂
I've been waiting lets go season 3
I love how the emotions are just dragged up and down continuously through the album, and with the movie addin some amazing imager, it really does rock to the core
1982 first year high school in Mew Zealand - boom Pink Floyd blew my young mind. At 55 it still does
With Pink Floyd, I'm a 70s kid as I was born 1971, my favorites are 1: Wish You Were Here, 2: The Wall, 3: Dark side of the moon.
Re-upload without skipping. I've seen reactions on this entire album that have zero skipping
"outside the wall" sums up the story by saying no matter how bad things are,and how removed from the world someone becomes, "the ones who really love you" have it worse by trying to help you. "after all, it's not easy banging your heart against some mad buggers wall".
As a musician and a huge Pink Anderson-Floyd Council fan, I love what you guys are doing. Very entertaining. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada...Actually now getting further in I enjoyed the musician dude. Breaking up the album in sniipets I can't watch or handle..
Clearly I am going through all your videos rn, haha. But whenever Comfortably Numb comes on, it's just a totally surreal, physical and emotional experience. The music conduction just moves you and then the depth of the lyrics...whew
