If you're wondering why the bass is extra tasty in this song it's because David Gilmour is playing it.

@@petdechouette From the Wikipedia page: "Gilmour also plays a fretless bass guitar, with a pick, doing two short, syncopated bass solos-one before the first verse, another before the third. When the final verse ends and a guitar solo emerges, the bass line moves into a driving eighth note rhythm, sliding up and down the E minor scale in octaves, beneath the chords of E minor and C major seventh.[5] Roger Waters, usually the band's bassist, played a rhythm guitar track on the song instead."

Your description in the last 30 seconds sums up the genius of Floyd. Every guitar riff, bass line, drum beat, etc. comes in at just the right time to compliment each other, and never getting drowned out. Nothing wasted, no fat.

The "hey you whitehouse" and "Mary your nearly a treat" lyrics refer to Mary Whitehouse, she was Christian who was very active in trying to get music, books and just about everything else censored.

“There’s no fat on it!” Hector you just nailed the essence of PF with that brilliant reaction! Please keep the PF reactions coming. You’ve ignited a fire!

Yes about verse 2 and 3. First verse is Jim Callahan

If you want to know why the bass is so powerful, it's because David Gilmour played it here (and on Sheep). Roger played rhythm and acoustic guitars. Pig noises and other effects are David again with the voice box.

Definitely their angriest and most contempt-filled song, which is especially evident in the ending solo. But instead of going loud and brash like other bands probably would of, they just laugh straight in the faces of the "pigs", not even giving them the satisfaction of losing their composure in the process. All three tracks from this album are incredible, but this one is just on another level imo. Really glad you enjoyed this.

What makes it so fun to watch your reactions is knowing what's comming... When you at 11:35 say "oh, this track man" we who know the song laugh and think to ourselves "just wait for it mate" and at 11:44 we all got what WE were waiting for 😂 Love your reactions, so keep'em comming...

What a great (as usual)reaction to an epic track. Simply put, the album "Animals" was Roger Waters' screed denouncing life and society in Great Britain in the early/mid '70s, and loosely based on the concepts proposed by George Orwell in his dystopian novel Animal Farm. Roger compares as follows: Dogs were big business and pigs were the government and elites, both of whom preyed upon the general populace, represented by the sheep (which is the order on the album). When the 'sheep' finally rise up and defeat the dogs, they enjoy a momentary feeling of freedom, but now lacking leadership and direction, ultimately fall back into their lethargic and unadventurous ways, now led by a new set of tyrants. BTW, some references are mistaken by listeners - "Whitehouse" is not what they think - it is a refence to Mary Whitehouse, an ultraconservative who constantly railed against the government, media, and public about what she felt were declining morals in Britain. She was that decade/Euro equivalent of the later bullshit promoted by Tipper Gore in the '80s and '90s here in America.

That riff truly swaggers like a pig bellying up to the trough. They were masters of creating an ambient soundscape to paint on.

I'm a Pink Floyd fanatic since a teenager in school when The Wall was released in 1980 and getting stoned with all my mates listening to The Wall and was at the Pulse Concert at Earls Court in London in October 1994, tripping off Magic Mushrooms and it was the Greatest Concert I've Ever Been To..!! But Animals is my favourite Floyd album which is saying something considering their other masterpieces but musically and lyrically Animals beats them all..!! Roger Waters wrote the lyrics in 1977 as a homage to George Orwells novel Animal Farm about Animals taking over from humans..!! Dogs are about ruthless business men who'll stop at nothing for power and greed, Pigs are about the 'Elite Ruling Classes' (ie) Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin etc etc and Sheep are us the common people who just live, serve and survive and do as were told by the Pigs and Dogs like Sheep do just follow..!! It's as though Roger Waters predicted the future and what's happening now with the World in Chaos..Roger Waters an absolute lyrical GENIUS

Animals is one of my favorite Floyd albums.

As someone who knows every note of this album by heart, it has been so much fun watching you hear said notes for the first time, and to appreciate them so much 💖. I remember the first time I heard this album, I had bought it on vinyl, I was about 17, no-one was home, and I lay on the floor and cranked it on Dads sound system not dis-similar to the rig you saw in Echoes at Pompeii 😁😁. I was laughing with through this track, clapping with excitement 😁😁. Now I am off to watch Sheep again ( oh haha you just made the Led Zepplin comment ) cause I cant listen to Pigs and not hear Sheep straight after. Peace

I think you are finally ready for Welcome to the Machine!! Also I cannot believe you didn't react yet to Wish You Were Here. Also Marooned. God there are so many. Please never stop until you listen to all Pink Floyd!! Not a bad song in their entire career!!!

Mate I never get tired of watching your Floyd reactions - so good! On the whole Whitehouse thing in the third verse, it refers to Mary Whitehouse, the leader of the (at the time 1976) National Viewers and Listeners Association, a sort of 'cancel culture' warrior of her day, She tried to cancel Dr Who for its 'violence' which led to it morphing into a sort of light entertainment in the late 70s/early 80s. So that's what Waters is talking about here. Great reaction though, Brother. Those 'oh., fuck off' reactions convey more than mose reactors do in a two-minute speech. Keep it up, my man. You are one of my favourite reaction channels

Man, do you know that the picture you're seeing on the video is Battersea Power Station in London? They used it as inspiration of their album cover :)

I hope you get the vinyl albums, lay down between the speakers and listen to the whole thing! That's how we did it back in the day! I love your reactions!

The album is based on the book Animal Farm, by George Orwell, in which he equates humans with each of the three animals in the book: dogs are used to represent lawmen; the pigs are corrupt and moralistic politicians; and the sheep, which without thought of their own, blindly follow a leader.

You have really gone down the Floyd rabbit hole and your reactions really make me smile. I subscribed to your channel weeks ago. I’m 65 and have loved Pink Floyd since I was a preteen. Great reactions!😎 Had to add : Love you don’t pause. Pink Floyd of my huge album collection, well over 2000, are my all time favorite and you have got the same feeling. CCR and The Rolling Stones are next. Zeppelin is also up there. My collection covers 1 wall in quest bedroom with audio equipment for the house.

The whole premise of the Animals album is that we are a nation of sheep, owned by pigs, ruled by dogs. This song is Pigs - Three Different Ones, where there are three separate sections of lyrics with each talking about a different "pig" (hence "three different ones"). One such pig is Mary Whitehouse, an English politician I think, hence the line "hey you Whitehouse" - not referring to the American Whitehouse building. The lyrics after then he mentions Mary by name. The middle section of this song where there are interesting sounds is hypnotic if you allow it to be. Yes, David Gilmour did play bass on this track and on some others as well, apparently this is when Roger is interested more on producing etc rather than performing (that's what I read anyway). Also, I think this song and possibly one other are the only songs by Pink Floy featuring a cow bell.

Jumping around the playlist before I have to go to work. Where I can still listen but can't be on the phone to comment. That's when you'll see 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥

There are almost as many ways to interpret Floyd songs as there are people who love them. To me, YES, pigs are any people addicted to power and / or wealth.

First Dave on the fretless bass, and then when he goes into beast mode on the guitar solo outro!.... just perfection!!

Everyone always raves about David's playing Bass on Pigs & Sheep When Roger's doing the Rhythm Guitar parts as well. I mean, sure he's not a virtuoso, and David's playing is absolutely immaculate on every level. But, I absolutely adore the way Roger just fucking attacks the Guitar, hectically sliding up and down, his sometimes weird chord choices/voicings. It reminds me alot of Syd's playing on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It's so chaotic and angry.

You said it. That’s what I needed!

Okay, I admit it..... I'm one of the wankers you referred to at the start of the video. Thanks for the mention and thanks for the music, the excitement and the smile. 🙂

Saw Waters and his band do this a few years a go,mind bending.

Gilmour is using a "Talk-Box with hie guitar, it's an old technology from the 1940s I think. It alows the user to combine a singer's voice with guitar notes in a solo for instance. Besides Gilmour, I can recall Peter Frampton using one quite a bit on his live album in "Frampton Comes Alive" released in 1976. You can see Gilmour using a Talk-Box at the Pulse Concert in their song "Keep Talking", (from Pink Floyds 1994 album, "The Division Bell). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Whitehouse reference is to Mary Whitehouse, a British teacher who in the 1960s I believe, campaigned against Liberalism and a permissive society. Many of Roger Waters lyrics are full of political references as he was/is a seriously committed liberal, bordering on Leftist imo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pink Floyd has the greatest musical fade-outs ever! Their fade-outs are kind of like their music in a way, they are very patient and deliberate, like their music, they let the music breath, and not rush it.

Great reaction. That was a lot of fun. Thank you.❤️✌️🌼

Whitehouse refers to Mary Whitehouse, a middle aged spoilsport in the 70s who wanted to ban anything she considered shocking. (Which was pretty much everything😉)

The "hyped-up kazoo" you were talking about is called a talkbox. Basically, it's an effect pedal with a plastic tube you connect to your guitar, and while you play, you "talk" into the tube, and it makes the guitar kinda sound like a voice. For another great rock song with talkbox, I highly recommend Hair Of The Dog by Nazareth.
