The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[Broken Arrow]

Is it just me, or does Cicatriz Esp by the Mars Volta take alot of things from Meddle? I heard a bassline that sounds alot like the one in One of These days, and the part in the middle is extremely similair to the middle part of echoes...
Maybe I haven't listened to that album lately because it's on my computer that is getting fixed.

[Kingofdudes]

Happy Birthday David Gilmour!

[Distant Echoes]

Did anyone do a review on Obscurred by Clouds on sputnik yet...or get dibs on it? I got the CD and have been listening to it alot lately. I remember talkin about the review, but i dont know if anybody else was gonna do it?

I believe there is one already but I'm not sure.

[Kingofdudes]

There isnt a review for OBC yet. Dibs arent an issue anymore.

I see I'm wrong.:(

dsotm is a good one, i like wywh better,my ranking for the top 5
1. DSOTM
2.WYWH
3. Meddle
4. The Wall
5. Animals

You like WYWH better than DSOTM, yet you ranked DSOTM higher???

[Distant Echoes]

Ill check if there is a review, if their isnt, ill probably make one.Sputnik doesnt let me log on though...its really pissin me off too. Its been like that for weeks now, and mx wont do anything about it (reported it to the CD review error whatever v3.0).

Right now Im burning my sister, back from college on spring break, a bunch of Floyd CDs, since i successfully converted her from rap/hiphop to allaround music. I giving here DSOTM, WYWH, Meddle, and Obscurred by Clouds. I figured not to give her Animals and The Wall since shes not about hard rock at all, more so slower rock and says the most important part of songs are lyrics.

From what you described I would definately give her Animals. It's slowpaced and it has some very meaningful lyrics.

yea seriously Shazzam is completely right

[woodbyfreak85]

what was the other album cyd did vocals for. piper at the gates of dawn and what was the other one.

[magicbus]

/weirdo

Syd sang on Jugband Blues, the last track on A Saucerful of Secrets, and album wise, I think that's it. I know he sings a lot on Relics, but that's like a compilation.

[Schyma]

Its really to bad they didn't release some of the early Floyd songs. (Apples and Oranges, Vegtable Man, Milky Way....etc)

[Schyma]

Yeah...given how little he recorded with Pink Floyd, his legend has grown far more than would really seem rational. Don't get me wrong, I love his stuff with the band, but I just find it somewhat odd that he seems to be more of an icon than even Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour. My Chemistry teacher started arguing with me about the merits of Animals vs The Wall the other day, which was a pretty surprising experience. :amaze:
Syd is the Psychedelic King!

It seems to me that each time a person dies at young age they become legend (Robert Johnson, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix..etc) Syd somewhat died he went insane even if he still lives he is dead in the public's eye.

[pigonthewing82]

Yea anybody who likes Syd should get the Pink Floyd video anthology one. Its a collection of him playing with Floyd. You can on ebay. Its a bootleg but a good one.

[Schyma]

I have a load of bootlegs of him with Floyd but they all have relly shity quality. Do mean to say these have good quality recordings?

[pigonthewing82]

They are of great quality because they were recorded from tv preformances they did. It is really good, you hear the band jam a lot.

[BigTrav415]

Wow, there's a lot of posts in this thread...

I just recently got my first dose of Pink Floyd when I listened to my dad's Dark Side of the Moon LP on his surround system... since then, I've bought the CD version, as well as Wish You Were Here and The Wall. They are all awesome in their own way, and it definitely beats the crap out of anything they play on the radio today. I'm thinking about getting Animals just for the awesome album cover =D.

Favorite Songs:
DSotM-Time, Money, and Brain Damage
WYWH-Have A Cigar, Wish You Were Here
The Wall-Hey You, Run Like Hell, Comfortably Numb

[lunch998]

There's a lot more on Animals than just a cool cover.

You'll find there is a LOT more to the cd Animals then the cover. I like it better then Dark Side of the Moon.

EDIT: Sorry lunch I must have been typing mine while you posted yours.

[BigTrav415]

I know I'm just saying it ha an awesome cover. I listened to clips of it and it sounds pretty cool.

[BigTrav415]

The main reason I hvaen't bought it yet is 'cause i'm almost broke on spending money from buying the other three CD's in about one week :( I hope to get it soon

[Broken Arrow]

Floyd in general has cool covers. I don't know my favourite though.

[Modestbob]

Does anybody have a collection of Floyd bootlegs on cassette? I have a few shows on cassette and i am just starting to collect. I have pretty much all of Floyds stuff on cd except the post-waters compalations/live stuff. and im looking for somebody to trade with. if you aim me at uglyCasanovabob we can talk.


"Is it just me, or does Cicatriz Esp by the Mars Volta take alot of things from Meddle? I heard a bassline that sounds alot like the one in One of These days, and the part in the middle is extremely similair to the middle part of echoes..."

Im not sure I see it, but i could check it out. But i would say TMV is almost a modern day version of Floyd, but more posthardcore/latin influenced.

[pigonthewing82]

I like Wish You Were Here's cover the best now.

There is definately a very heavy Floyd influence in their music.

[magicbus]

Does anybody have the bootleg of the early show they did called The Complete Top Gear Sessions?

[DeusExMachina]

There was this awesome bootleg store I went to in New York, and I almost got a bootleg performance of DSOTM, but I got a SRV bootleg instead. I kind of regret it now. I was talking to my friends dad yesterday, he said that he saw Pink Floyd on the DSOTM tour, and that it was the most amazing show ever.

[pigonthewing82]

I have a bootleg of Dark Side of the Moon played for the first time. That means I have a recording of it before the record came out because they tested it on the fans first. Its interesting in the places where the back up singers would be doing their vocal solo, or there would be special effects for most of the song, they would just jam, it was really cool.

You should upload it.

[pigonthewing82]

I've tried and for some reason I can't. I don't know my computer is really old.

[DeusExMachina]

In that case you should mail me the CD. I'll pay you. How much will you take my kidney for?

[Mr.Wiggles]

So, let's talk about Pink Floyd. I was listening to Comfortably Numb, off The Wall, and then I listened to it live, off Delicate Sound Of Thunder, and I must admit that it sounds better live. However, the studio version of Time sounds much better than the live version. What are your thoughts?

Also, what do you think the most haunting lyrics are in a Pink Floyd song?

I think it would have to be Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, or Run Like Hell. What do you think?
I don't like pink floyd. :smoke:

[pigonthewing82]

In that case you should mail me the CD. I'll pay you. How much will you take my kidney for?

:lol: I'll take the liver. If I keep going the way I am I'll need to be in the market for one in the near future.

[Kingofdudes]

I don't like pink floyd. :smoke:
ok, thanks for the contribution

[Shazzam]

I'm gonna try to upload the Live In Venice video I got off of Ares either tonight or tomorrow.

It's 560 MB though!! But it's a great concert with an awesome song list.

Too many to name, and i can't remember off the top of my head.

I never thought of it that way before, your incite is amazing.

[pigonthewing82]

Well I've never heard of the tour bankrupting them but anway you should cheak ebay from time to time a bootleg comes up.

[Kingofdudes]

yea, on the dsotm classic albums dvd gilmours singing wasnt very good, but he still has the skills on his guitar...you have to give him that
:confused: He did Breathe (Reprise) surprisingly well for someone his age.

[Kingofdudes]

The Wall tour actually saved them from going down under.

[Flopfoot]

Hey ppls just bought Dark Side of the Moon on impulse coz u Floyd fans are always saying how good it is... (not that I don't like Floyd, just haven't heard much by them yet) but when I stuck it in my CD player I found that there were only 9 tracks. Now on the track listing on the CD I found there were 10 tracks but one song thats mentioned in the booklet (breathe - reprise) is not on this listing so I guess maybe there should even be 11 tracks. On lyrics sites there are no lyrics for 'On the Run' and 'Any colour you like' - are these instrumentals that have just been stuck on to the end of the previous song (or the start of the next song) and not given their own track?

Are my CD players really only meant to think that the CD has 9 tracks, or have I been 'ripped off'? (actually, the CD was half price that day so I suppose its not really a rip off if I only get 9 out of 10 or 11 tracks but still, I would like to hear them all...)

Some versions combine Tracks 1 and 2 (Speak To Me and Breathe) into one song, hence 9 instead of 10. Breath Reprise is at the end of Time, its not a seperate song, it just fades in. There should only be 10, in your case 9.

You have the whole cd.

[Purple Floyd]

I have the Wall Bootleg.... But it's a lrage file and the quality is ****ty.


BTW After one hour, Live in Venice failed uploading...DAMMIT

[Purple Floyd]

Oh yeah, on the official Pink Floyd site, there's a link from the Echoes website to a video player, and there's a one hour documntary on the Wall there, with a lot of good tour footage from the concert.

[pigonthewing82]

Yea my friend downloaded them playing Comfertably Numb from one of the Wall concerts. It was cool to see Gilmour playing that on top of the wall :thumb:.

[TerryThorne]

Yeah, I just got PULSE and I think its great. Lots of nice flowing guitar effects.

[pigonthewing82]

Pulse is pretty good. I still prefer Meddle over any Floyd album. Even DSOTM. :)

Yea but since Meddle man has yet to create somthing as perfect.

[willis2441]

how many times has floyd changed singers?

[pigonthewing82]

how many times has floyd changed singers?

Well Syd Barrett sang on I think all the tracks on Piper, and only one on Saucerful of Secrets. Then Waters and Gilmour sung most songs, then Waters left and I think Gilmour sung them all.

[willis2441]

**** they changed 3 times?

[feedyourhead]

**** they changed 3 times?

You can say that. The only member who was with them the whole way through was Nick Mason. All the others either quit, got fired or joined late.

[Riva]

You can say that. The only member who was with them the whole way through was Nick Mason. All the others either quit, got fired or joined late.

Nick Mason was a session musician for the making of Momentary Lapse of Reason. Rick Wright was the only one all the way through.

[Kingofdudes]

Nick Mason was a session musician for the making of Momentary Lapse of Reason. Rick Wright was the only one all the way through.

Rick wasnt there for The Final Cut.

Nick was still in the band during MloR, he just didnt contribute much.

[Chicago Typewriter]

I just realized, the guy who did the Animals, Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell, Pulse and Wish You Were Here album covers did The Mars Volta's album covers too. Nifty.

[Purple Floyd]

What album's (or Live Shows) did Mason sing on? I have a very faint memory but I can't remember.

[Broken Arrow]

What album's (or Live Shows) did Mason sing on? I have a very faint memory but I can't remember.
He did say the line-"one of these days I'm going to cut you into pieces"

[DeusExMachina]

Nick Mason was a session musician for the making of Momentary Lapse of Reason. Rick Wright was the only one all the way through.

Rick was kicked out after The Wall came out, and toured as a session musician. Nick was in the band from the start to the end without leaving.

[xhaereticusx]

It shows Rick singing Echoes on Live in Pompeii.

[Schyma]

It shows Rick singing Echoes on Live in Pompeii.
To bad all they show is Mason and a little of Dave.... :upset:

[Lateralias]

What album's (or Live Shows) did Mason sing on? I have a very faint memory but I can't remember.

He sang the intro bit on One of These Days, and then he also sang on one song on Ummagumma... I forgot the track name..

[magicbus]

Nick Mason only says the line on One Of These Days. He doesn't sing at all. He's only credited for drums/percussion and sounds/tape effects.

[pigonthewing82]

You know everybody always says One of These Days is Waters most underrated bass line, but you know I think Let There be More Light is. I mean One of These Days is great, but so many people forget about the other one.

[Purple Floyd]

My favorite bass line is probably the one in Hey You. It just kicks ***.

[Kingofdudes]

My favorite bass line is probably the one in Hey You. It just kicks ***.

It wasnt Roger's though, David is the one that played it.

[RNR]

Really? He played the Bass on it? He's pwntastic! (even more than he already was)

[Orange Fog]

From what I have seen on the Making of Dark Side DVD, it looks like Roger is really just a guitarist who has to play bass... I'm just assuming of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kingofdudes]

From what I have seen on the Making of Dark Side DVD, it looks like Roger is really just a guitarist who has to play bass... I'm just assuming of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

More like a songwriter that has to play bass.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, I want some clarification. I thought I could play Hey You correctly, then last night I was talking to Vince (Zepfan) and he said tha you need a capo to play Hey You or it is nearly impossible. It sounds good when I play it following the powertab </will insert link here> but he sent me a link to the version on mxtabs, which said you needed a capo. Can I get some help here?

Wow, I haven't posted in here since forever guys. :wave: Sup,

[Kingofdudes]

the powertab I had didnt use a capo

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

That's what I'm saying. Check out the mxtabs version of it though. Do you use the powertabs' version as well?

http://powertabs.net/pta.php?page=song,2192

powertab for hey you

[Gossamer175]

Just to give you guys the heads up, David gilmour is back in the studio recording again. The big money says hes probably working on his next solo album.

[Kingofdudes]

Just to give you guys the heads up, David gilmour is back in the studio recording again. The big money says hes probably working on his next solo album.

I believe he is. They are also working on getting pulse released on DVD.

[magicbus]

I don't think you need a capo to play Hey You. In fact, I'd learn it without one even if you do, because I like being able to play stuff without extra parts, like capos.

[DeusExMachina]

Just to give you guys the heads up, David gilmour is back in the studio recording again. The big money says hes probably working on his next solo album.

That is pure sex. Dear god.

As for Hey You, I don't play it with a capo. I've seen versions that call for the capo, however. Gilmour, you need to win the R&Mer of the month competition! I voted you number one.

[Kingofdudes]

Hahaha im not gonna win, maybe I will when 99% of the other eligible winners win a month.

Next month I will be playing my first live show. Me, my brother(guitrguy) and this other dude we know are are gonna cover Wish you Where Here. My bro is gonna do the 12 string, while I do the leads. I gotta switch guitars halfway through so I can do the first bit on standard tuning, and switch over to Open G so I can do the slide solos. I havent palyed much slide before, so I hope I dont mess it up :-/

Snaps. Good luck! guitrguy is your brother? Man... he was the pretty much the main poster in my Beatles thread for awhile. That's cool. Your family has good music taste. I'm going to play the Battle of the Bands at my school for three different bands, and am going to perform at least one Pink Floyd song. Probably Comfortably Numb, and something like Time or Money if I can convince them. Although I'm playing with an acoustic group... Wish You Were Here would go nicely with that one.

[magicbus]

Good luck at the show Gilmour! I really want to play a PF song at our talent show (in addition to Sunshine of Your Love), and until now I figured Comfortably Numb, but Hey You would be a good choice too. I can sing these songs so they'd make a good pick.

NP - Hey You. This solo rules.

[pigonthewing82]

You know I never realized this before but Roger Waters' lyrics are really Beatles influnced. I mean its really interesting to see the effect the have on them. For example the phrase "inciting and inviting me" is used in Echoes, and Across the Universe (whitch Roger has covered)

Well, I just bought Amused To Death, by Roger, and it is amazing how much some of the lyrics remind me of The Beatles. However, a lot of it (as a whole) reminds me of Animals.

[PeenkPhloide]

After buying all of Floyd's cds, my dad tells me he had all their albums down the cellar. Well, I finally went down and looked, and they were all there. The cover art for "A Nice Pair" was quite witty. and also awesome.

The lyrics after that solo and the lyrics after it is my favorite part of The Wall.


Amen

[Johnny B. Good]

That solo and the lyrics after it is my favorite part of The Wall.
I prefer the later solo

[PeenkPhloide]

I'm doing Another Brick in the Wall at our talent show, mostly because our drummer only has 2 months of experience. We sound pretty good though. It also took me forever to get my bassis to play it, as he dudn't like pf. Eh.

[DeusExMachina]

After buying all of Floyd's cds, my dad tells me he had all their albums down the cellar. Well, I finally went down and looked, and they were all there. The cover art for "A Nice Pair" was quite witty. and also awesome.

You lucky bum. I'd definitely be willing to drop all that money to find all of the Pink Floyd records.

As for the whole lyrics thing, I can see it in some cases, but definitely not others. Lyrics like Time or Money don't seem very Beatles-esque.

[Distant Echoes]

Im a little more then halfway of purchsing all the floyd albums, not including bootlegs, which i do want to get. Im starting to get a diverse collection of DVDs too. For Floyd, by the end of the year, i want to own them performing dsotm live, Live at Pompeii (which i have), THe Wall, and a bootleg. im workin on it already

[DeusExMachina]

Good plan. I have quite a few of their CD's, but I definitely want to get the rest of them.

[lunch998]

I prefer the later solo

The later solo in Hey You?

[pigonthewing82]

Well, I just bought Amused To Death, by Roger, and it is amazing how much some of the lyrics remind me of The Beatles. However, a lot of it (as a whole) reminds me of Animals.

Yea whats cool is he gives them credit in "Let There Be More Light" "For there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the Sky"

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So dudes. I just realized that the most underrated solo has to be out of Young Lust. It's beautiful. Anyone else feel the same way?

[Purple Floyd]

I prefer the later solo


You mean before-solo?

[Purple Floyd]

So dudes. I just realized that the most underrated solo has to be out of Young Lust. It's beautiful. Anyone else feel the same way?


It's not bad, but the song itself is awesome, yet so underrated.

[magicbus]

So dudes. I just realized that the most underrated solo has to be out of Young Lust. It's beautiful. Anyone else feel the same way?

I don't think its the most underrated, but I greatly enjoy it. I really like the solo from The Thin Ice. In combination with the visuals in the movie, it kinda just explodes at you. I love that. The same thing goes for Mother.

[moaner]

You lucky bum. I'd definitely be willing to drop all that money to find all of the Pink Floyd records.

As for the whole lyrics thing, I can see it in some cases, but definitely not others. Lyrics like Time or Money don't seem very Beatles-esque.

The lyrics to Time don't strike me as very beatlesy at all.

there are, however, very good lyrics indeed...

man, i love that song.

[pigonthewing82]

You know I think Saucerful of Secrets is really underrated. Right now I'm getting into Corporal Clegg.

[lunch998]

I like the guitar part in ABItW Pt.1, after the lyrics. A lot of people think that song drags on, but I enjoy Gilmour's licks there.

[moaner]

You know I think Saucerful of Secrets is really underrated. Right now I'm getting into Corporal Clegg.

I never got into much syd era stuff.

Harsh as it sounds, I find syd inspired more great music than he actually made.

its so different though, its kinda hard to compare syd and gilmour eras.

ah, ok.

which 'Saucerful' stuff is on echoes?

My 'floyd collection is rather thin I'm afraid, i'm fairly new to it all

I have dark side aswell, and a tape of great dance songs (charity shop find, 75p :thumb: ) and i found those 2 albums in my dad's CD collection

which would you advise i buy first, wish you were here or meddle? I really liked "one of these days", but shine on is an utter classic, and wish you were here is a nice song.

I just recently got into Pink Floyd. I've always known who they are but never really listened to them. Welcome to the Machine = the ****e

Meddle is very good, I'd get that one.

In recent news, Waiting For The Worms is a very creepy song. The lyrics are...chilling?

I love that track. It really gives me the chills.

Yea man, but I just realized the part on The Trial when the judge comes in actually gives me goosebumps. So I'd say this is the most chilling part on the album.

[Otherside]

I love waiting for the worms. Call me weird, but In the Flesh and Waiting for the Worms are my favorite tracks on the CD. (Along with Hey You)

I dont really care much for waiting for the worms, i dont know why, it doesnt appeal to me

I really like waiting for the worms also, it sounds really neat with both of em singing.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the end of the Wall. It is just entirely too dark for my tastes. I still appreciate it, but I just feel so bad after listening to it. :p

Check my postcount. :eek:

[Kurtz]

People think im crazy for liking The Trial so much, but i think its one of the best, and strongest tracks on the album.
I love/like it a lot too.

IMO, the second disk is way better than the first.

[pigonthewing82]

I like the first disk better off Is There Anybody Out There. What Shall we do Now I think was one of the strongest songs on the album. Also there is a lot more jamming between the band. On the studio I prefer the second disk though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think I prefer the end up disc one and the beginning of disc 2. The middle section. :lol:

Disc 1.5?

:lame:

[Purple Floyd]

Yea man, but I just realized the part on The Trial when the judge comes in actually gives me goosebumps. So I'd say this is the most chilling part on the album.


That part in the Wall (movie) is so haunting......It makes me shudder.

[lunch998]

Disc 1.5?

Conceptually the transition doesn't make much sense, but it is very strong musically.

[DeusExMachina]

I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.

[funkybeeatch14]

Anyone listen to the tribute band Blue Floyd? Theyre coming soon to a local venue of mine.

[pigonthewing82]

I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.

Yea I think Roger said that that and Nobody Home were his favorites.

[Riva]

I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.

Well, I cannot judge either the first or second disc... It's really a matter of what I feel like at the time. Although Goodbye Blue Sky, The Thin Ice, In The Flesh? and Mother are on disc one, Waiting For The Worms, The Trial, Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb are on disc two. How can I choose!

What exactly do you mean by 'describing' the time signature?

[Otherside]

I love Nobody Home. I suddenly realised the other day how monstrously good that song is, and that's what tipped the balance for me in favour of liking Disc 2 more. Basically I think that the second half of Disc 1 can drag a bit sometimes, whereas Disc 2 is absolute quality all the way through, and, being a geek, the story of Disc 2 is more interesting for me as well.



I fully agree. It sounds like absolutely nothing else, but it's genius. Even just from a musical point of view, there's just so much going on that you don't notice at first, and the rhythm under the first part of the song, that always seems to be teetering on turning into discord is brilliant as well.



I don't suppose there's any chance of you ever sending that to me on AIM...(A)

First of all, I think the time sig is actually 7/8. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is.

Money is so 'unique' because almost every song that gets a lot of air time on the radio is written in 4/4 time.

[magicbus]

Anyone like More?

That's one of the next Floyd cd's I wanted to get, but I wasn't sure how good it was. I was gonna ask the thread but I forgot. So does anybody have it?

EDIT: Also Money changes from the 7/4 time to 4/4 when it hits the solo. You can count out the beats. Its very cool.

No, it's not true. This song (actually played by Jimmy Page live) is circulating on p2p programs with the artist being labeled as Pink Floyd, Van Halen, and others. If you listen to the song, you can clearly hear Plant's vocals.

[Purple Floyd]

The tone in the solo was off, and it was overall very sloppy.

Oh my god. Send. I will love you forever.

As for the whole 7/4 time signature thing, almost all music for the past long amount of time has been written in 4/4. Just think about it... tap your feet at an even tempo without any music. Even doing that without any background music, after four beats you feel like you've reached a "completion" of sorts... so, writing a song in which 7 beats makes up a measure, instead of four, is quite difficulty to do, especially if you want it to remain catchy. And Money was catchy enough to make the billboard top 20 (only song with a 7/4 time signature to do so.)

No the first isnt. But the rest of them are with a slide.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Allright, thanks. :lol: I tried playing it with my recently acquired slide, and I got to the part where you slide the fourths, and I got real confused, so I figured, why not ask in the Floyd thread. :p Thanks for the help.

I'm bad at quick sliding. That's why I can't play SOYCD 6-9 all the way. :upset:

[Distant Echoes]

I know 3 of the 5 songs on wywh...when i feel like it, ill probably learn the rest.

SOYCD 6-9 and Have a Cigar are the two i dont know, but i really need to pile up some effect pedals for quick transitions

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, I don't know the last 2 solos on WYWH. They're not Gilmour's best work...What are some other solos that Gilmours uses a slide on?

[Kingofdudes]

Yeah, I don't know the last 2 solos on WYWH. They're not Gilmour's best work...What are some other solos that Gilmours uses a slide on?

One of these days
A Saucer full of Secrets(If you can call it a solo :amaze: )

[Distant Echoes]

My favorite slide solos are high hopes and One of these days

But he has so many...It makes me want to learn slide guitar really bad, but i make my guitar sound retarded when i try, so for the good of music - i stop

[lunch998]

It's absolutely necessary that one of you learns the solo in SOYCD(6-9).

[kux0]

the solo's in soycd are so beautiful. im learnin them right now. All the guitar magizines and all the "music ""experts"" " say that time was the best solo he ever did...and i stongly dissagree. i think the money solo was better...with the sax and the dropped beat it just goes along much more. dont get me wrong the Time solo is awesome but not his best work. What do you think sid barrets best gutiar solo/riff was?

[lunch998]

Interstellar Overdrive.

[kux0]

agreed. i like the riff in lucifer sam. its really 007-esque :)

In Beyond The Darkside, the drummer played with those sticks as well. It was awesome.

[DeusExMachina]

Personally, the Time solo is the best solo on DSOTM. But, for his best work, I'd say either SOYCD 1-5 or Comfortably Numb. Or maybe Echoes for that awesome part at about 18 minutes.

I agree. My favorite Gilmour solos are from Time, Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Have A Cigar, Echoes (studio and pompeii), and SOYCD. I could keep going, but then I'd be naming a ton of songs.

The few I listed above are my favorite to play also, so I'll stick with those.

[DeusExMachina]

Man, Gilmour better win the "100 best guitarists" poll thread thing. Except, knowing all the fanboys on this forum, it'll probably be Kirk Hammett or Jimmy Page.

[magicbus]

I'm pretty sure I took out Jimmy Page, because I only had him in there until I could think of more people, and he technically isn't that great.

Gilmour was in my top 3 I believe.

[DeusExMachina]

I had no particular ordering (except for having Gilmour number one, that was intentional.) I think I had Jimmy Page in my list, because he is a decent guitarist, and wrote some good stuff. But, seriously overrated.

[lunch998]

I like Jimmy Page.

[TerryThorne]

Man, Gilmour better win the "100 best guitarists" poll thread thing. Except, knowing all the fanboys on this forum, it'll probably be Kirk Hammett or Jimmy Page.

Its a shame that Gilmour is often left out in those top ten best guitarist lists. GIlmour is much better than most guitarists on those lists. I mean, his solo's are near orgasm inducing

[TerryThorne]

I've really been diggin' If lately. Its simplistic but really strikes a chord with me.

If your gonna learn Echoes you should learn Shine On first, its a good place to start if you might have trouble learning long songs.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

About the top 100 guitarists poll, I doubt Gilmour will win, even though he should. I really can't decide on who will win, but I'm guessing the top 10 will go like this

Vai
Petrucci
Page
Gilmour
Morello
Hammett
McLaughlin
Adam Jones
Satch
Hendrix

Actually, most of those I just want to be on there, but hammett and Petrucci...I don't think they belong there, but they will be there in the end...

Madey, you like Pink Floyd too?

Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Pink Floyd? :eek: <3

I got a new neck pickup put in my guitar recently, it's pure sex. Unbelievably warm tone. It has inspired me to learn Echoes. Don't know why, but it has. I'll probably give up after about a week because my attention span isn't too great... but, we'll see.

[magicbus]

If your gonna learn Echoes you should learn Shine On first, its a good place to start if you might have trouble learning long songs.

I already know SOYCD 1-5. Unless you were talking to madey...

Ive been starting to get into ebay recently...i have over $1000 of stuff to sell (no, im not exaturating), and ebay might be the place. With the money i plan to pickup, i want to invest alot, or all of it into drums, but i do want to put some into my guitar.

I was sort of leaning effects, but their in my amp already - and im getting a footswitch at the end of march to have control over that too. Could somebody clarify what pickups are good compared to bad? I have never learned anything about pickups over the years...except my neck and middle ones suck harder *** then all others

I got my guitar used. It was a standard mexi-strat, but the previous owner put Texas Specials in all the pickup spots, so it has good tone as opposed to shitty stock fender tone. However, I replaced the neck with a Lindy Fralin blues special. It's really awesome. I think I'm going to get a steel pole 43 with a base plate for my bridge soon. Lindy Fralin makes amazing pickups.

Love Pink Floyd in the studio, and I also have Live in Pompeii. Any other good live albums of theirs you guys could point me to?

[Purple Floyd]

I've got PULSE which is a really good album...they've got the whole of DSOTM on there, as well as songs from Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and even Astronomy Domine from the Syd era. Then there's the best songs from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell, which I greatly prefer live than on the album. It's also got a fair bit of historical value, being the recording of their last ever gig. :(


Does the album have the same playlist as the movie? Or are they two different concert dates?

[pigonthewing82]

Love Pink Floyd in the studio, and I also have Live in Pompeii. Any other good live albums of theirs you guys could point me to?

Is There Anybody Out There: The Wall Live

Not for the casual fan, but Ummagumma

For the ultimate Pink Floyd live expirence look for the Video Anthology volume 1 if you like Syd, and the Video Anthology Three for latter Floyd songs. Anthology Two is only ok, but you should be able to find at least one of those in the dvd section of ebay.

I've got PULSE which is a really good album...they've got the whole of DSOTM on there, as well as songs from Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and even Astronomy Domine from the Syd era. Then there's the best songs from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell, which I greatly prefer live than on the album. It's also got a fair bit of historical value, being the recording of their last ever gig. :(

I was disspointed with Astronomy Domine off of Pulse. That has always been a jam song, but they no jamming on Pulse.

I checked the site. What kind did you get?

Blues special. I ordered a steel pole 43 for the bridge, but he accidentally sent me the blues special for the neck. I thought about returning it and getting the right one, but I figured I could use a new neck pickup too. I definitely don't regret the choice, 1st setting is now my favorite pickup setting, because the tone is really great. Reaaaaally warm.

For live Pink Floyd, I definitely recommend The Wall Live.

So me and Bartender were talking on msn about music and whatnot, and I asked him if he liked Pink Floyd. He responded with something like 'Yeah, they're ok.' Then I displayed my fanboyism by saying something along the lines of 'I find them to be one of the sweetest bands of all time.' (It wasn't that lame, but you get the idea) He responded with 'I just don't see what is so special about them. What do you see in them that makes them so beautiful?' This question may sound simple, but I can't figure out what it is that makes Floyd so great. What do you guys think it it?

Well one of the things is they kept on evolving through out their whole existance, so it kept it interesting. Waters is brillent at writing concept albums. They arn't afraid to put a song or two on a cd thats over ten min long, whitch also proves their strength as a great jam band. Gilmour provides a sound that can only be found in Pink Floyd. The whole Syd thing adds the the mystery of the band and makes their history very interesting to learn. The fact that the whole band are brillent in their own way, and all work so well together is a big role in it. They provide the listener with concepts that will keep you thinking long after the song is over (and I'm not just talking about the lyrics). They also have songs like Wish You Were Here thats nice to listen to if you want to relax, and songs like One of These Days or Another Brick in the Wall part 2 that are fast and pump you up. Lets just face it they are one of the best bands to listen to when your stoned. They are also one of the few bands to pull of a sucessful rock oprea, and to preform that oprea live, then have it expand to a movie and Brodway. They just all around are amazing.

Thats all I have to say about that.

I like how the Floyd's music is so original and mystical. It basically takes you to another place when you're listening, and everything feels good, because the music is just so different and amazing. The music sparks all kinds of emotions, and you can really feel it. Its just incredible to listen to.

Is There Anybody Out There: The Wall Live

Not for the casual fan, but Ummagumma

Thanks, I'm always trying to get more into Floyd :)

[Distant Echoes]

Im using the brief amount of my time on MX to share that i have just bought Piper at the Gates of Dawn...from the money ive been saving for my pedal on reserve for 3 months (which i shouldve been picking up soon).

Im sure itll be worth the $20 :)

Yea about a month ago I was in your shoes where I was just trying to buy more Floyd music quicker then I could afford it. But I think I'm finally done with my collection. I wish the band would put out more live stuff as a whole rather then just the solo live cds.

What kind of pedal are you buying? I want a fuzz pedal.

[magicbus]

Good buy Echoes.

This is a good time of the year, because a year ago I started listening to Floyd. Good memories. :cool:

[Grant]

I remember a few years ago I had a massive Floyd obsession. I still love their 60's and 70's work and Dogs is one of my favourite songs to improvise over.

Yes I must concur that pink floyd is wonderful. There music is like a new adventure ever time you listen to it. I Have listened to DSotM hundreds of times and it is a timeless album that never grows old. However, I have recently found new gems in there many albums wwhich are amazing. Such as Meddle, it is soo the prelude to DSotM and it has a such a wide array of music. For some reason the cooky song San Tropez has grown on me. I love all Floyd but I think that once Rodger Waters left the band It all wwent to crap. Even the Final Cut was a horible album compared to the others.

Pulse is pretty good.

comfortably numb of pulse is like a wonderful journey through Gilmour's playing.

[DeusExMachina]

Everything by Pink Floyd is a wonderful journey through Gilmour's playing. It's orgasm inducing.

Does anyone know what kind of wah pedal Gilmour used?

I'm at the buy as much Floyd as I can stage

[Schyma]

I haven't heard Pulse I think its the only Pink Floyd live album I have not hread...that includes all of Syd's bootleged concerts.

Has anyone heard Live in London 66-67? If you buy the vidio you can see that John Lennon is in the front row.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't have any Pink Floyd bootlegs, but I plan to pick some up next chance I get.
