The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[Six Foot Revolver]

I never really saw the big deal about The Wall. I liked it don't get me wrong but I don't think it was as good as Dark side of the moon or Wish you were here

[Shazzam]

I personally just like the feel of the Wall, and the solo in Comfortably Numb is untouchable.

[Otherside]

Pigs solo > Comfortable Numb solo.

[Kingofdudes]

Pigs solo > Comfortable Numb solo.

Comfortably Numb Solo on Pulse > Pigs solo

[Otherside]

Comfortably Numb Solo on Pulse > Pigs solo

Truth.

[Shazzam]

Comfortably Numb Solo on Pulse > Pigs solo



Yeah, the pulse version is definately the best.

[Broken Arrow]

Pigs solo > Comfortable Numb solo.
What but then after you say it is worse.

I am confused.

[Distant Echoes]

Ive been learning Comfortably Numb and I found its really not so difficult. Just up and down the scale on the 7th fret, then it goes right back down moderatly fast.

Live, its amazing though, it just suits the song so well, so Id have to say its better then Pigs by a landslide

[vashts80]

I'm listening to the solo off PULSE. Probably the only solo that can truely bring me to tears, as stupid as that might sound.

[Otherside]

What but then after you say it is worse.

I am confused.


Studio vs Live :p

[Riva]

So I saw Beyond The Darkside: The Ultimate Pink Floyd Tribute on their farewell to Australia tour. It was absolutely brilliant. "Gilmour" sang and played so much like the real thing, it was startling. Although "Roger" didn't sing, most of the songs were still really great.

They played:

All of Wish You Were Here (The Album)
A really smooth transition from Shine On You Crazy Diamond (6-9) to an abridged version of Echoes.

Then "Gilmour" talked for a while, before the band started to play Learning To Fly, Dogs Of War, On The Turning Away, One Of These Days, and a shorter version of Pigs(Three Different Ones).

After intermission, they came back, and played ALL of Dark Side Of The Moon, complete with the best rendition of Time I have heard live (yes it was better than Pink Floyd itself :eek: ). They then played In The Flesh?, Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Another Brick In The Wall (1,2 and 3), Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell as an encore.

I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. And at three hours, it is brilliant value for money. So check them out if you hear them coming to a place near you.

[Shazzam]

Anyone have a copy of Animals?

Mine's at my friends house...

Oh.

Sounds awesome Riva.

[pigonthewing82]

who here knows gilmour's settings on his amp for the solos in comfertably numb ive known it for some time now but it doenst sound quite right

[Shazzam]

who here knows gilmour's settings on his amp for the solos in comfertably numb ive known it for some time now but it doenst sound quite right

I use a flanger for the first solo to make it sound better. The second solo is all about the low end and fuzz.

[PeenkPhloide]

Hey Everyone! I've been on and off of Musician Forums for quite some time now, and over the past 6 months, Floyd's become my favorite band, and I like pretty much everything they ever did. So I'm probly gonna post in here a lot. Uhm, I'm not really gonna have time to read through all the posts anytime soon, so if I said something that was already said, just punch me. Well, Bye all.

[PeenkPhloide]

O yea...I also play guitar too...and yea, I was wondering what to use for the Comfortably Numb solo, so thanks. Awxome.

[magicbus]

/e-punched.


And I've always used chorus on the Comfortably Numb solos. How does the flanger sound?

[Shazzam]

what kind of amp/guitar do you have?

[magicbus]

Ibanez guitar and amp (both cheap). I'm gonna get an American Strat eventually.

[Shazzam]

The flanger (Boss) makes it sound really smooth. It's hard to explain in words, but it;s just awesome.

I'm pretty sure Comfortably Numb on Is There Anybody Out There? uses one.

[magicbus]

Ok thanks bud.

[Distant Echoes]

The flanger (Boss) makes it sound really smooth. It's hard to explain in words, but it;s just awesome.

I'm pretty sure Comfortably Numb on Is There Anybody Out There? uses one.

Comfortably Numb Uses a flanger? Im gonna have to check on that one. My amp has a bunch of effects in it (only can use one at a time though :upset: )
, and flanger is one Im gonna end up buying as a pedal, along with Phaser and Delay.

But when i have flanger on, i make it incredibly noticable.

[Shazzam]

It's only used on some versions of the song, but it sounds better though.

[guitarded_chuck]

I saw Aussie Floyd last summer. They were pretty good for a cover band, I guess. It was mainly for your viewing pleasure. Some of the technicians who worked on Pink Floyd's shows work with Aussie Floyd, and it was amazing. My favorite part was when one of the members did the Careful With That Axe scream, and the place turned red and black flashing and alternating, and it looked like the whole stadium was going to blow up or something. They played some other good songs, like One Of These Days, Shine On (only the first half disapointingly), Great Gig In The Sky (amazing vocals), Money (great sax), Welcome To The Machine, Us And Them, Comfortably Numb (with a pretty impressive "improved" guitar solo), and a bunch of other stuff.

[lukins69]

Pink floyd rocks

[Distant Echoes]

When do you use the flanger and what level do you put it on for comfortably numb? I just about got that song down and i want to get it to sound good all the way through now.

Ive seen aussie floyd too. Amazing vocalist for the great gig, probably the best part of the show. They played alot of great ones, its ashame i didnt know half of them the time i saw them.

[pigonthewing82]

i used the flanger on my amp and it sounds much better, thanks :thumb:

[Wintermute]

Have any of you heard the album of Pink Floyd covers that the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra did? I was lucky and picked up a copy for £3. It's absolutely jaw-dropping. There's no-one for mustering truly epic scopes like a full Philharmonic Orchestra...

I got it on my computer. Us & Them is excellent on it.

Where did you pick up your copy of it?

[Wintermute]

HMV Lancaster, which was bizarre. They normally stock very little outside the mainstream. I love the version of Hey You on it, but it's all good - if I listed the tracks I liked on it I'd basically be giving you a tracklist. I was a little surprised to hear them using an electric guitar, but when you get right down to it you can't fully replace Gilmour with violins, it really is needed for some moments, like the climax of Shine On.

[Kingofdudes]

:-/ I guess there is little chance of me finding it in America.

I picked that album up yesterday *cost me 4 pounds!* and it is great stuff.

Do you know how it was recorded?

[Shazzam]

hey Distant Echoes, I use the flanger for more of a Uni-Vibe type setting, with alot of depth and not as much rate. you want it to really swirl around you.

I use it for the first and second solos all the way through.

[Shazzam]

I smell some foul play in that poll, how could tool gain almost 40 votes in a period of a few hours??

DSOTM was up by twenty when I got home today, and now it's down by 10??

Yea I think as Pink Floyd fans we need to all ban together and vote for the same one, while the wall was my favorite, I voted for Dark Side of the Moon for the good of the team.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I konw this is a delayed post, but I'm guessing the flange on CN solo is fairly light, right? and on the second solo, their is quite a bit of gain, enough to get a harmonic, correct. Also, what kind of harmonic do you use for the opening note of the second solo. I do a natural on the 9th fret of the 3 string. Sounds close enough.

Thanks :thumb:

Stupid Toolboys.

/Listens to Lateralus

Something I tried was playing the begining of the second solo with wah, it sounds really cool

[pigonthewing82]

what does everybody think of the job that the guitar player on roger waters "in the flesh live" did? I thought it was really impressive, I mean he can't touch dave, but I thought he was one of the few people who could fill in for him

[Kingofdudes]

He seemed to do a good job filling in.

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't seen the DVD. I should check it out. No one can touch Dave. He's the best.

[Johnny B. Good]

yes he did fill in quite well. Gilmour is one of those hard rto replace people and Roger found sound someone to replace him and for that I think Roger deserves cred for having the sweet hookups

[DeusExMachina]

Meh, it's not hard. When you're as big as Roger, you just talk to a producer or something and say "I need bands to play with me." I'm sure any guitarist would jump at the chance to play with Waters.

[Johnny B. Good]

Yeah but would they be able to fill in for Gilmour well?

[DeusExMachina]

True. Gilmour does leave big shoes to fill.

[pigonthewing82]

True. Gilmour does leave big shoes to fill.

yea what I like about this guy is he adds his own element to the songs. Most people would just play the song note for note, whitch is just boring

[Johnny B. Good]

A sign of a really good musician is his/her ablility to improvise well and make it fit into the song perfectly

[pigonthewing82]

A sign of a really good musician is his/her ablility to improvise well and make it fit into the song perfectly

Yea I would have to agree with that. If I buy a live album and there Isn't any improvments made to some of the songs then I usually stop listening to the band. I just can't respect the band anymore.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So, I talked to Riva, and he says DSOTM won, officially, I suppose, and in honor of the victory, I have learned the Money solo as well. Now THAT sounds awesome with wah, Potw.

[pigonthewing82]

Yea I never play Money without it, I find with most Pink Floyd solos the wah adds a lot to the song, I guess Gilmour just wasn't a fan of it

[Johnny B. Good]

Wah adds a lot to most songs in general
me sucker for wah

[pigonthewing82]

Wah adds a lot to most songs in general
me sucker for wah

hahaha me too the second I'm done learning a song I play it with wah just to see if it fits, and it usually does (try some wah on sunshine of your love it adds sooooooooooooo much to it)

[weatherman123]

the only song i dont use the wah for when soloing for is time
thats also the only floyd solo i wont improvise live, ill always play it as close to 'properly' as i can
jsut feels like it should be done that way i guess

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So what kind of effects pedal do you have? I have a digitech RP300A. I got it for 200 bucks w/ my Christmas money. Just another reason why Jesus rocks.

To Johnny B. Good: Congrats on the stars. :confetti:

I have a boss d-1 (I think) distortion, and a Jimi Hendrix wah, I have a ton of effects built into my amp, and usually play with the combination of reverb and delay, another tip for a Pink Floyd song is "Syds theme" on Shine on You Crazy Dimond sounds great with a tremelo effect

[Riva]

Magicbus, can you please post your Gmail address again?

Sorry, my mainboard got fried before I could upload those Rick Wright songs for you.

[Wintermute]

I picked that album up yesterday *cost me 4 pounds!* and it is great stuff.

Do you know how it was recorded?

I would guess the normal way you'd record an orchestra. An insanely big live-room and insane amounts of overhead microphones, along with individual mikes for the prominent instruments. And lots and lots of money.

Recording an orchestra is extremely expensive.

[Riva]

And technical. I imagine it's a headache for the engineer.

[Dannyboy15]

Same for slipknot too...maybe.

I think they have enough members as an orchestra.

[Wintermute]

And technical. I imagine it's a headache for the engineer.

Bound to be. Orchestral sound engineers tend to be some of the best around though, simply because only top studios can afford the facilities. I know Abbey Road studio 1 has room for a full orchestra AND a choir, which is just silly.

[Riva]

Same for slipknot too...maybe.

I think they have enough members as an orchestra.

9 is not the same as 50+.

[Wintermute]

I'm mentally trying to find any common ground between the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Slipknot... The only thing I can find is that they both have more than 8 members

[Kingofdudes]

I want to be a sound engineer :cool:

[Wintermute]

I'm training to be one even now. I've got a Synthetic and Computer Audio Engineering Theory lecture later on today.

Last week's lecture was awesome. We spent the whole thing watching a Goldfrapp DVD, listening to Pink Floyd, The Who and Led Zeppelin. I think the lecturer was a little un-nerved that I could identify every song within a few seconds.

On The Run, Baba O'Reilly and No Quarter were all groundbreaking songs in the use of synthesizers, you see.

[Kingofdudes]

I really need to look into what I need to do to get into Engineering. I dont have any idea where I am going to go to college for it, or what courses to take.

I may experiment with recording this summer, when I have the money to buy my own cheap equipment.

Edit: Mason gets credit for "On the Run", but Roger claims he didnt do too much for it. I wonder who deserves the real credit for it.

[Wintermute]

How old are you? What stage are you at now?

My Uni has two courses, one which requires Music A level, and the other requires Maths A level. I'm on the Maths one - it focuses more on the technical side of things. The idea is we come out of it equally well equipped to use fancy equipment, or design fancy equipment. It's a 5 year Masters degree.

[Kingofdudes]

16, I guess I am at a pretty low stage. My highest math at the moment is Pre-Calc, and I am in Music Theory at the moment.

Are you working with Digital or Analog recording? Just curious, all I've done so far is analog, since I dont have the cash to set my computer up for good multi track recording..

[Wintermute]

Analogue at this stage, though we branch into digital next year.

That said I've been doing some low level digital recording of my own - my laptop now sports a frankly terrifying array of audio software.

Yeah, No-Quarter is one hell of a song. Probably my favorite Zeppelin song period. What college you go to anyways?

I wanted to be an engineer for the past few years, like mechanical stuff, but now I'm thinking about Audio Engineering. I'd love to work in a studio and experiment with effects and stuff. Is that what you guys are talking about?

And Wintermute, what kind of classes did you start with to take that type of course work? Is there a certain engineering class you need to begin with?

And I'd looove to get my hands on an old VCS3 synth, but they really expensive and hard to find now. That would be awesome.

[Scooch]

Has anyone heard the "Take Linda Surfin'" album, I did a search and didn't see anyone mention it. It has to be the creepiest album I've ever heard, it sounds like music you'd play at hallo'ween. It also came with a a colouring book page that's called the Official Pink Floyd SuperSonic Cosmic Surfboard Kit, I'll scan a picture of it in a bit.

I thought about doing that degree, but it involved moving from my excellent home town to a crappy big city. :(


16, I guess I am at a pretty low stage. My highest math at the moment is Pre-Calc, and I am in Music Theory at the moment.

If you ever need help with maths, Aaron, just ask. I did do Advanced Maths in University, after all.

I would imagine Mason can take quite a lot of credit for On The Run, although that's based largely on the fact that Waters marginalised him to such an extent that I don't think you can take much he says about Mason and Wright all that seriously, which is a genuine shame. And completely off topic, we seem to have lured Wintermute out of the bass forum. :eek:

Mason and Wright were seriously underrated by Waters. It's a shame that it ocurred like that. And I can take some kind of credit for Wintermute's defection to the Floyd thread... :p

[guitarded_chuck]

So I just checked my latest reps, and I can see 5 neg reps for calling the Tool retards that messed up the polls fanboys. My rep is now down to 84. Meh, doesn't matter, but man those kids are annoying.

[Wintermute]

I'm at the University of Glamorgan, or Prifysgol Morgannwg, as it is in Welsh. I had next to no engineering experience before I started here - they prefer it, but they don't demand it.

As for leaving the bass forum... well, you've got to have some variety, haven't you! :p

So Wintermute, Bartender tells me you are the one to discuss all things beer with, especially the virtues of Cold beer vs Warm beer.

[DeusExMachina]

Same for slipknot too...maybe.

I think they have enough members as an orchestra.

Please tell me you're kidding. Orchestras > Slipknot in EVERY way.

I'm really into recording stuff, but I don't know enough about it. I want to though. How hard is it to get into a program like that? I'm currently 17, have lots of knowledge of music theory, and am in calculus.

[3rdplanet]

*late*

Were Pink Floyd there and playing during the recording for the RPO covers?

[Wintermute]

I haven't tried it much, but I've never really gotten into beer. Just, too bitter for me.

[Distant Echoes]

And i thought i was the only one that didnt like beer

[TrainTakeMeHome]

I'm interested in seeing how many of you PFers out there like Tool as well. I've noticed a large amount of Tool fans enjoy PF, i wonder if the inverse is true as well..

[Otherside]

The two bands are actually pretty similair... and their both some of the best bands ever.

[pigonthewing82]

I love Tool, but I'm sure that any true Pink Floyd fan prefers them over Tool, and thats why all us Pink Floyd fans are bitching, well and because those cheaters just suck :angry:

[Sam]

I cant stand tool. Pink Floyd are one of my faves.

Tool is just...Tool.

[PeenkPhloide]

Hey everyone. I am doing another brick part 2 for out schools variety show thingy. How would you suggest starting it off? my drummer kinda just started in january, but he said that happiest days of our lives is too hard for him. So should we start with just the drums for abinw or drums with that funky guitar riff? or i could start off by doing the melody really slowly... what do you guys think?...uh thanks

[guitarded_chuck]

I don't mind Tool, but I really don't believe they are one the greatest bands ever. Just another rock band, with some extra talent. I don't see anything extra special to make them great. What I do see is too many 10 year old kids with Tool wristbands.

[Johnny B. Good]

Why are we talking about Tool in a Pink Floyd thread?

[PeenkPhloide]

what are those stars under some ppls names?

[pigonthewing82]

Why are we talking about Tool in a Pink Floyd thread?

Who knows? Why were we talking about beet before? Things just come up. Besides you would have to thought they would come up soon enough in the thread after all the Tool bashing from Pink Floyd fans

[Johnny B. Good]

what are those stars under some ppls names?
It means they're cool
Back on subject, What do you guys like best early Gilmour's work or later Gilmour's work? later will be Wish You Were Here and on from there

[guitarded_chuck]

Why are we talking about Tool in a Pink Floyd thread?
Why not? They're often compared, so we're giving our opinion. Especially since the Tool vs Floyd battle in the Top 100 poll.

I like his early work better, well just because it includes Echoes

[lunch998]

So, SOYCD 6-9 is awesome. Anyone agree?

[PeenkPhloide]

wait...im a tard...i was thinking floyd in general...forgot waters did a buncha stuff...so yea.. imma haveta say earlier stuff

[PeenkPhloide]

So, SOYCD 6-9 is awesome. Anyone agree?

That whole album kicked soo much ***. I lubb it.

[pigonthewing82]

One of the most horrible things I've heard regarding their early days was today by sombody in my lunch "I think Gilmour is awsome on Interstellar Overdrive" :upset: just....... :upset:

[guitarded_chuck]

This is a Pink Floyd thread not a Tool thread that's why
Like I said.. whatever...

And it is obviously his later stuff. Echoes has what, one good guitar solo? I don't really like the Wall much, but it and Wish You Were Here are Gilmour's best guitar albums with Pink Floyd. And then comes his solo career, which has some pretty nice stuff too, especially if you are talking guitar.

[lunch998]

One of the most horrible things I've heard regarding their early days was today by sombody in my lunch "I think Gilmour is awsome on Interstellar Overdrive" :upset: just....... :upset:

Well, at least they got the "....awesome on Interstellar Overdrive" part right.

No one I know has even heard Interstellar Overdrive.

[pigonthewing82]

That whole album kicked soo much ***. I lubb it.

Yea I wouldn't call that an album as much as one long song so its hard to say whitch is better then whitch because the cd needs all the tracks to work.

[PeenkPhloide]

i wish people in my school liked pink floyd...its the same as when i liked metallica...but i dont like them nemore...yea...well noone in my school likes what i do...

[pigonthewing82]

Well, at least they got the "....awesome on Interstellar Overdrive" part right.

No one I know has even heard Interstellar Overdrive.

Well I would think that too, but I know him he is just one of these people who bought Dark Side of the Moon and one or two greatest hits cds (like relics) just so he can say hes a Pink Floyd fan, I would rather have an ignorant fan, then an ignorant poser

[lunch998]

Yea, those people are really annoying. At least none of my friends pretend to get into classic rock, they all just listen to Incubus.

[guitarded_chuck]

I don't mind those kind of people really. Chances are they'll get into the music after awhile. When I first heard of Pink Floyd I didn't know who Syd Barrett was either. I got into him because I bought they're first album first, which I usually do, because it's the best way to get into a band.

[Kingofdudes]

A lot of Tool fans on this board hate Pink Floyd.

Personally, I like them both.

[magicbus]

I also like both.

[PeenkPhloide]

my dad and i were having an arguement...well...was waters on momentary lapse of reason?

Well I don't mind that kind of people either, but I mean the kind who just listen to the band because they want to fit in and wear the Dark Side of the Moon shirt. There are too many people like that, I think I can count on my fingers the ammount of real Pink Floyd fans in my school

no he was not

[pigonthewing82]

No, nothing after the Final Cut, I always found that to be an ironic name, do you think they try to do that, because it was pretty much known they were going to break up.

I could count that number of people that are real fans...on..uhm...that part of my body where theres only on part...

[PeenkPhloide]

No, nothing after the Final Cut, I always found that to be an ironic name, do you think they try to do that, because it was pretty much known they were going to break up.


i really need to get that album...tis the only one i dont have...but i got a reel nice deal on ebay...like 12 albums for 8 bucks...they were russian mp3 cds...would they happen to be illegal?

[pigonthewing82]

i really need to get that album...tis the only one i dont have...

Eh, if its the only one you don't have then by all means finish your collection, but your not missing that much.

[PeenkPhloide]

Eh, if its the only one you don't have then by all means finish your collection, but your not missing that much.

oh...i heard it was pretty good...o well...does anyone like waters stuff after he left? i thought pros and cons was pretty good...but i didnt like amused to death that much. Isn't he making a new album this year?

[pigonthewing82]

oh...i heard it was pretty good...o well...does anyone like waters stuff after he left? i thought pros and cons was pretty good...but i didnt like amused to death that much. Isn't he making a new album this year?

Well he has new songs so we might see a new album, as for his solo work I like In The Flesh live, I know thats cheating because that has Floyd tracks on it, but I think its also a good collection of his solo work

[PeenkPhloide]

yea...in the flesh live was a cool movie/album/tour....too bad i didnt like floyd when he was on that tour...

[pigonthewing82]

yea...in the flesh live was a cool movie/album/tour....too bad i didnt like floyd when he was on that tour...

I know I was kicking myself when I saw how long ago it was preformed. But hopfully he will come out with a new cd and tour.

[PeenkPhloide]

yea...and is the original pink floyd still touring any? although i am more of a waters fan...id still see them

[pigonthewing82]

Not that I know of, though they might do somthing if Roger does a tour, just to keep up.

Yeah, they came to my city a little while ago.

[Permanent Solution]

Yeah, they came to my city a little while ago.
I'm pretty sure they aren't, are you sure it wasn't Aussie Pink Floyd?

EDIT: They haven't toured for over a decade according to their site.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

It was probably Australian Pink Floyd. I know someone who saw them pretty recently, but I don't think the original PF tours.

[Riva]

They may tour soon though, if the rumours are true.

To the guy wanting to play ABITW 2 for the opening to the show, learn Run Like Hell instead. Simpler drums, and the audience will love the synthesiser opening.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

How soon is soon^?

[Riva]

Next year, supposedly.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

That's awesome. Where will the tour go?

There's a synth opening in run like hell? wow i need to listen to it again. But yea, that is a cool one we may do.

[Otherside]

Personally, I like them both.

A little late, but this post gets 123 out of 123.

[guitarded_chuck]

Next year, supposedly.
As much as I'd like to see it happen I don't think it will. I think Nick and Rick both would, they say that David seems the least interested.

[pigonthewing82]

I think if Roger does a tour or album or both (and there is talk of it) then the other members will tour too.

[Shazzam]

Well, at least they got the "....awesome on Interstellar Overdrive" part right.

No one I know has even heard Interstellar Overdrive.

Same here.

Ok, I don't want to be a prick, but no. It will not happen. I'm tired of saying this. I'd love for it to be true, but its an internet rumor. They have all denied it publicly many times.

As for Tool and Floyd, I like both, but I prefer Pink Floyd.

[vashts80]

What's the deal with there being two "Astronomy Domine" versions?

I have one on PATGOD at about 3mins, and then one on Ummagumma @ 8:30 or so...what's the deal with that?

I haven't listened to PATGOD in a long time. Bike pwns j00.

The one on PATGOD is a studio version with Syd and the one on Ummagumma is a live version with Gilmour instead of Syd.

[Shazzam]

yeah, the live version is almost always longer, and in Floyds case, better.

Oh I didn't mean like them touring all together, I ment both Roger's band and Gilmour, Rick and Nick doing a seprate tour. Unless you mean the indivuals doing a tour is just a rumor....because that would be the second time i got my hopes up over a Pink Floyd related tour this year. :upset:

[pigonthewing82]

Gilmour, Rick and Nick doing a seperate tour won't happen. Gilmour has said many times he doesn't want to do a big tour. They also won't release an album, because Gilmour says that if they did another album he'd feel obligated to do a world tour, which he doesn't want to do. I'd love for them to prove me wrong, but it won't happen. It's a matter of time until the break-up becomes official.

[Distant Echoes]

Its ashame one of the most, if not, the most influential and greatest band from the 70s has to end like this, considering the fact hat everyone of them is still alive and healthy - and perfectly capable of making great music the same way they used to...but were just going to have to put it behind us eventually.

But at least we have one thing to look foward to...

Almost 100 pages of this thread :thumb:

Yea I agree it is really sad that they feel their ego is worth more then their insperation.

[Distant Echoes]

And the Pink FLoyd Thread hit a landmark...

I havent been to the cd store in months, i cant wait for my next floyd cd (obscurred by clouds), because i told some people id put up my new sweet acator as soon as i got. A floyd cd may cost $15, but a new avator is priceless.

and when spring rolls around in a month or so ill be working at the golf course again, and really pickin up some cash

Are they really healthy enough to do a new tour? Let alone a world tour? I really dont think Dave has it in him to sing for an entire tour.

[Distant Echoes]

Its not about the performance, its about the music...and the fans.

We all know good and well if Floyd went for a reunion tour, itd sell out in a second, and whether its the best or worst performance, its for the sake of the music. No band like Floyd, and god knows when another like them will come around, should end a trilagy like the way they are.

I just think they should put their hatred aside for a little while and do it for the world; and theyll probably never regret it either

But are the fans being too selfish to expect them to tour again? They arent 25 anymore. They are getting old, they dont have as much stamina anymore. They want to stay with their families, and watch them grow. Believe me, I would love to see them live, but I just dont see it happening.

[Distant Echoes]

Trust me dude, i dont see them together again either, but i really think aside from their ages, of fans and the band, they still should do it for the sake of music, so the Floyd trilagy doesnt die as a sad story...then they can call it quits

i think anybody of any age could find it enjoyable no matter how it turns out :thumb:

I think it was more selfish of them to let there egos get in the way of their music, I mean don't get me wrong there are very few people who I respect more then them, but come on guys really.

[Distant Echoes]

Well he makes a pretty good point too. Rep + for him

and you too Gilmour...just for being you

[DeusExMachina]

I can totally understand them not wanting to do another tour. I don't think it's selfish of them at all. It is, after all, their band, not ours. We should just be grateful that we have their albums, and can listen to those.

[guitarded_chuck]

If they aren't going to tour again, they should just publically call it quits. Why do they want to keep getting asked if they're going to tour? Then again, maybe they will? (keeps wishing)

then click 'Echoes Album Site', a new window sould pop up, then choose your connection speed. Then click the box thing between the words Pink Floyd and Echoes, and go to video player.

There's everthing from Behind the Wall Tour Documentary to Animal's TV commercials.

[Shazzam]

Make sure you see the videos of Gilmour playing on the official site home page, they're incredible.

[Distant Echoes]

I was on that site a few months ago...when looking for some sweet floyd pictures for my desktop and avators and such. Figured i couldnt copy and paste, so i copied the whole screen (prnt scrn button) , pasted on Paint, edited the picture to the right size then saved it.

I spent hours on that site when i found out about it...alot of cool stuff, but not as much i i had hoped from the official floyd site. Diverse, but not in depth.

Still great, nonetheless

[weatherman123]

are they releasing some sort of Gilmour in concert DVD?
what exactly is the deal with that?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So, I haven't really been posting in this thread for a while. I was thinking about this the other day: Who do you guys think is the band that is like the modern Pink Floyd. I realize that no band will ever reproduce the euphoric goodness known as Pink Floyd, but just have some fun with it. I think that in the musical sense, Radiohead and Porcupine Tree are very closely related to Floyd. They're both very relaxing, emotional bands. As for the complexity and symbolic level it would have to be Tool. Both Tool and Pink Floyd's music is stuffed full of unseen meanings, plus they're both prog. Your turn. Remember no "Nobody is like Pink Floyd" plzthx

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Normally, I would edit my post, but since I can't, here: If you haven't heard either of those bands, I HIGHLY reccomend each of them. They each have something amazing about them.

[Shazzam]

I'll check em' out

[Shazzam]

I'll check em' out...

[DeusExMachina]

Hows about Modest Mouse? Or, I haven't heard them, but I've heard very good things about The Mars Volta.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I checked out a song by The Mars Volta off of their leaked new album. It sounded very Radiohead-esque to me, but it was only one song, so I can't say much about them.

[sunday_morning]

:amaze:
woaw. so much fans. you amazed me, guys. i don't know how old are you but Pink Floyd are reputated to be our parents' kind of group... i just think they could last 10 other years again.
yep, i have in my family two other addicted and i'm getting myself gradually amazed by Pink Floyd.
in fact, my father picked out - i don't know....- maybe 10 or more lives of Pink Floyd on internet and he's always listening to it. i really prefers lives that the ordinary-recording-studio albums. there are pretty good.

[Riva]

You'd be suprised at the comeback Floyd is making, although they do tend to be mainly posers. :-/

[clown_phobia]

Would you guys rather see Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour live?

[Riva]

Dave Gilmour. Definitely. He has aged much better than Waters.

[clown_phobia]

Pink Floyd are so good. I am not overwhelmed by any other band's greatness like I am pink floyd's.

Comfortably numb is probably my favourite song ever.

[Riva]

I am really in love with Goodbye Blue Sky right now. Really in love.

Those videos are fantastic, the live Wish You Were Here is just...zing.

They need to tour again :( I know people said it will never happen, I just want them to, so I could possibly see them.

Or I could buy a DVD, one of the other.

[Wintermute]

:amaze:
woaw. so much fans. you amazed me, guys. i don't know how old are you but Pink Floyd are reputated to be our parents' kind of group...

Well for me at least, that's true, in a way. My Dad is a huge fan, and while I was growing up there was usually either a Floyd cd, a Genesis cd, or a Thin Lizzy cd in the player. My dad has good taste...

I'm 19, incidentally.

[(LOKI)]

one of my earliest memories is listning to the vinyl of The Wall and now that I have money to buy the albums I'm a huge fan. I in love with Echoes (track not compliation album) I'm 14

[Otherside]

Besides on the actual website, does anyone have any videos of pink floyd playing? I havn't had any luck on soul seek so far..

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I got into Pink Floyd when I discovered of my dad's DSOTM album on vinyl. I'm 14.

[3rdplanet]

My mom liked Pink Floyd, so I just kinda grew up with it.

Good shizzl'.

[guitarded_chuck]

My Dad likes good music, and I was brought up with some prog bands, like Genesis and Rush, but my parents weren't huge Floyd fans I guess. I really don't know how I got into them. I remember I learned the Comfortably Numb solos, saw the Wall for the first time, and randomly bought Live At Pompeii for $10 all around the same time, and I've been hooked ever since.

[DeusExMachina]

Besides on the actual website, does anyone have any videos of pink floyd playing? I havn't had any luck on soul seek so far..

I don't have any on my computer, but you can get live DVD's and bootlegs. They're good stuff.

Does anyone else find it amusing that people love to talk about their age? It's almost like people view it as a badge of pride. "I'm 14 and listen to Pink Floyd, therefore I am cultured and know more than the average 14 year old!" Not an attack on anyone, just an observation.

[Broken Arrow]

Are we remembering how we got into Floyd?

If so, my dad played me the video of "One Of these Days" on DSOT.

[DeusExMachina]

Oh... I guess I should say that. My dad played me an old tape of The Wall.

[magicbus]

I got into Floyd when one of my friends told me to listen to DSOTM, and I loved it. Then I listened to WYWH, and my dad showed me Ummagumma, and then he bought me Meddle on vinyl. I researched and found the rest of the albums myself. But man, the first time I heard DSOTM was amazing.

[guitarded_chuck]

Just a random question for you guys, does anyone else really like Genesis?

[Broken Arrow]

Uh, I haven't heard anything by them that wasn't on the radio.

[monokolopo]

They are pretty good.

[Kingofdudes]

Radio helped me to discover Floyd. I really really got into them after listening to Animals.

[Distant Echoes]

They play animals on the radio there? all we get is a load of songs from DSOTM and The Wall.

I couldnt enjoy listening to floyd songs on the radio, knowing theres a concept behind them...just like when i listen to an album, i always finsih from start to end, even if theres a song i dont like...which there isnt.

[Riva]

I found Delicate Sound Of Thunder in my mum's CD collection, which hooked me, then listened to Ummagumma, Obscured By Clouds and More on tape, which turned me into the Floyd fanboy I am today.

Nah, my first taste of Floyd was the radio, and after checking out Animals I was hooked.

[Distant Echoes]

After i got DSOTM for the first time, i hated it...but like LZIV, i just kept listening to it for some reason...and grew into it.

Probably wouldve helped if i knew what a concept album was all them years ago, wouldve helped me understand alot more, but what was odd was that I asked for the CD, and my parents or friends didnt just let me listen.

[lunch998]

My dad likes their early stuff, but that wasn't how I got into them. One day I just bought Dark Side, and you know how it goes from there.

[Distant Echoes]

Its been a while since i saw you on Lunch, including before the site crash. Rep ++

Its been so long im actually able to rep you :)

but my parents love all that stuff, but barely have any albums. Most is slowjam stuff.

I haven't heard Obscured By Clouds yet. I found this other kid at my school who likes PF though, so I'm hoping he might have some stuff I can borrow or have burned or something.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think I got hooked on Pink Floyd after I moved into my new house and discovered Dark Side of the Moon in my dad's CD collection. Then I got Animals, bought my dad The Wall for Xmas, and now I'm a full fledged Floyd fanboy. (I have more Floyd cds, but those were the first 3 I got.

EDIT: [/parentheses] :lol:

[PeenkPhloide]

I heard a song on the radio one day, I'm pretty sure it was off the wall, and I asked my dad what it was. I then found out he was a huge fan and hada buncha cds. Then we bought those ill3g7l russian mp3 cds..with just about every album on 2 cds...and iii love it.

[vashts80]

A) I first got into Floyd because I heard Another Brick in the Wall a few years ago.
B) One of my friends told me that Comfortably Numb is about drugs. I laughed in his face. He's not heard the entire album, by the way, just ABITW (II) and Numb. Hence why I laughed. I then told him it's about the isolation that the album is written about, and he argued with me for a good 10 mins about it.

[Kingofdudes]

Your friend was right. Roger came up with the lyrics after having to play a show totally drugged up.

Have you seen the movie? Comfortably Numb is about drugs. The entire album is about isolation, sure, but it's heavily tied in with the effects of drugs.

[guitarded_chuck]

The movie is loosely based on a character derived from both Waters and Barrett. All the songs about war and childhood are loosely based of Waters childhood, when his father died in his war, his view of education, etc. By the way, doesn't Waters talking about war in music get repetive and boring? One of the reasons why I'm not a big Wall fan. The scene where Pink is just sitting tripped out with his cig burned down is taken right out of a time Waters walked in on Syd. And the scene with the groupie in Pink's house thing, when he is tripped out and then freaks out actually happened too.

[Distant Echoes]

Yeah, it becomes pretty evident its about drugs after watching the movie.

But the movie really didnt help me get a better understanding for the album at all. Trust me, i know what the album is about, but the movie was so crazy, i couldnt follow it. (and No, i dont need an explanation from anybody again)

but thats why their pink floyd :)

[guitarded_chuck]

That's true. The movie is almost just as confusing and hard to follow as following the concept from the album.

[ledpoisoning27]

i can't decided on which album i want next by floyd. I either want PATGOD or meddle want cd should i get.

I've seen Meddle more at stores than PATGOD, i don't have the money to buy them both right now, so from people who have both of them, which one do you think is better?

I'd say meddle, but I think both are really cool.
