The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[slowhand]

Does anybody in here know why Pink Floyd did so many movie sound tracks.

Movie directors approached them asking for them to do the soundtrack to their films and offering them a lot of money for it. So, they did them.

[pigonthewing82]

Well that makes sense, they just seem to do it a lot more then most bands.

[slowhand]

Well that makes sense, they just seem to do it a lot more then most bands.

Well, those movies were not really commercially friendly, they were more like abstract films. And Pink Floyd, being a cult band and doing this experiments with music, were approached by these sort of people.

[pigonthewing82]

True that makes even more sense. I really like Obscured by Clouds, The Gold in The.......is an awsome track.

[slowhand]

Hey, I might go to buy a new Pink Floyd CD today.

Recomendations?

[Kingofdudes]

There is something strange about OBC, I just cant put my finger on it. Maybe I need to see the movie...

[Otherside]

I just picked up Saucerful of Secrets yesterday, I like a few of the songs, but there are some pretty weak tracks on it I think. I'm probably gonna pick up PATGOD next.

[slowhand]

You're in for a surprise with PATGOD. When I got it, I had on my mind that it wasn't like the Pink Floyd I knew, but I didn't expect it to be so... extemely different.

Think of it as getting an album from an entirely different band that you know nothing about.

[Riva]

Yes, PATGOD is a different feel, and not just because Syd is on guitar.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I have a n00b question: What albums had Syd on them?

[Daven]

i just heard another brick in the wall and darkside of the moon and they are ****ing great, and i was wondering if somebody could recommend me some good songs about them

thanx

[pigonthewing82]

I have a n00b question: What albums had Syd on them?

Also pick up Relics for See Emily Play and Arnold Layne.

what u mean other good songs on the cd or what?

[pigonthewing82]

:lol: Well can't argue against that.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I used to think that Brain Damage was called Dark Side of the Moon too.

[Blain of Topel]

pink floyd is one of the few bands that actually gets away with being super pretentious, because they revolutionized the way people look at songs as opposed to albums and single. before floyd really albums were just the best 10 or so song the band was working on at the time. pink floyd made an album as one unit which makes them great. you couldnt have a song from atom heart mother on animals or something, it wouldnt work. theres my 2 cents

happy first post me

That is true and this is out of topic but i thought it was sweet how wish you were here was about Syd barret i wonder what wouldve happend if he stayed with them

and is PATGOD any goot cuz i have enough money jus wondering if i should get it?

[magicbus]

Wow. I missed a lot in a day. What's the conversation right now?

[Distant Echoes]

Eh...didnt miss that much. Ive been in this thread and havent seen an interesting converstation, but more focused on early floyd though.

Not long from now, ill probably be out of these forums.

I got Momentary lapse of a reason. Its not as bad as everyone said it was, but i cant adjust to Gilmores voice every song...just bugs me a little

[magicbus]

Ok. How about this. Does anybody have The Wall: Live In Berlin? I saw it at the store, and when I read people like The Band and Bryan Adams were on it, I almost thought I grabbed the wrong thing.

How do these guys fit into The Wall?

[Kingofdudes]

Sorry Otherside, I cant upload it tonight... Maybe tomorrow

[ArtificialLife]

just wondering, do any of you have a live version of pigs (three different ones). it would be friggin' awsome if you could upload it.

Just for kicks, anyone ever listened to the Zabriskie Point soundtrack? i was thinking of hunting down a copy.

The Zabriskie Point is a decent album, I mean if it comes down to that or somthing like A Saucerful of Secrets of somthing take Sacuerful. But yeah I'm gonna buy a bootleg cd from Pink Floyds Animals tour soon, you guys should cheak it out too. There is this solo that is done after Pig on the Wing thats just awsome. I think that at one time Pig on the Wing part one and two were one song, but just connected through that kick *** solo.

more info on the bootleg animals tour please, and yeah pigs on the wing was originally one song with an awsome solo by snowy white, but they decided to split it for the album

[pigonthewing82]

Wow I didn't know it was Snowy White who did it, I always thought he was just some random guy Waters pulled out to replace Gilmour for some of the tours. Yeah last time I cheaked there were a few bootlegs on ebay from the Animals tour, I havn't heard anything from the Animals tour exept Pig on the Wing.

[rippa32]

I was listening to Dark Side of the Moon.(its my only floyd album) and noticed that some of the vocals were different. I always thought Waters did all the singing. But is there someone else that he shares vocals with?

[clown_phobia]

Dave Gilmour, the guitarist sings as well.

An example of him singing is on 'Money'.

[Riva]

Gilm0ur actually sings on almost every famous Pink Floyd album.

The earlier ones featured Syd and Roger, and The Wall was mainly Rogers child.

[Otherside]

Sorry Otherside, I cant upload it tonight... Maybe tomorrow

NP m8, take your time.

[Riva]

I haven't got it, but from what I've heard, the show was pretty chaotic really...he got Bryan Adams and even Cyndi Lauper in to help out on vocals (take Gilmour's vocal parts), and in some cases play the guitar parts, or just join in with his backing band. It sounds quite disorganised, and I think it wasn't as good as it could have been, considering how dramatic they could have made it.

I nearly impulse bought it, but I didn't have the right money on me. It was fairly cheap. I think I'll have a looksee at it.

[magicbus]

It was only 18 when I saw it. I wanted to buy it because I'm always looking for more Floyd dvds, but I don't think there are many.

Hey im sorry for the real n00b question for pink floyd

But is it Waters that does the more higher vocals?
and Rogers doing the more deep vocals?

[Kingofdudes]

Hey im sorry for the real n00b question for pink floyd

But is it Waters that does the more higher vocals?
and Rogers doing the more deep vocals?

Roger Water is the same guy. Gilmour is the one that tends to do the high vocals. Roger does most of the vocal work on The Wall. If you want to hear Roger, listening to the opening vocals on Comfortably Numb. David Gilmour is the one singing when the lyrics go to "There is no pain, you are receding".


Im listening to Us & Them on the Animals tour, the crowd is starting to boo PF :(. Stupid Roger, pissing off the crowd :mad:

[pigonthewing82]

There are non Roger being a dick Animals bootlegs though right?

[Kingofdudes]

There are non Roger being a dick Animals bootlegs though right?
Im sure there are out there, but this bootleg was put in here because of Roger's behavior, and the importance of the concert.

[pigonthewing82]

Im sure there are out there, but this bootleg was put in here because of Roger's behavior, and the importance of the concert.

Yeah in many ways that moment was the end of the slow downfall of Pink Floyd and they finally hit bottom compared to what they used to be and Waters took control.

And happy 8000 posts :)

[Riva]

So, I have a copy of Pink Floyd in '67 performing Astronomy Domine live at Club Beat. It's quite interesting, though not the best quality. Would anyone be interested in a yousendit?

[rippa32]

So what does Gilmour sound like singing Waters songs? I mean live after Roger left. And one last thing whos Syd? Thanks guys.

[pigonthewing82]

So what does Gilmour sound like singing Waters songs? I mean live after Roger left. And one last thing whos Syd? Thanks guys.

Gilmour's voice was a little off Waters at times, but Gilmour is a better singer then him in some ways so it you couldn't really knowtice. And Syd is the member of Pink Floyd who was the song writer, lead singer, and lead guitarist before Gilmour. They did one cd with him called Piper At The Gates of Dawn. He went crazy because LSD bought out a mental illness. His condidtion kept him from touring, and the band didn't know how to handle him. They hired Gilmour as a replacment, and just stopped telling Syd when they were going to a show. He did one last song with them Jugband Blues and left. He had a solo career that was a flop, though I think he wrote some good stuff solo, but also some bad stuff. After two records he stopped, and went to live with his mother. He hasn't made any public interviews or anything like that, exept by people who can't leave the poor guy alone. He doesn't even recognize who he was, or even that he was in the band, or even that he knows of a band Pink Floyd. When asked about the group he replyed "Are they one of those rappers?"

[rippa32]

Wow thats pretty bad. So didn't waters sing at all on Piper at the Gates of Dawn?

[pigonthewing82]

Wow thats pretty bad. So didn't waters sing at all on Piper at the Gates of Dawn?

I'm not good with who sang what, but I think he only had backing vocals, but the backing vocals were a big part in some songs. He also wrote only one of the songs (Take up they stethoscope and walk)

[rippa32]

Thanks alot for youre help. Id rep ya if I could.

[pigonthewing82]

Thanks alot for youre help. Id rep ya if I could.

:lol: No problem man any time.

[magicbus]

Barret does the vocals on every song except Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk, which is Waters. On a few songs, Waters and/or Wright do some harmony vocals, but Syd is the lead every time.

I had a dream that Pink Floyd was having a reunion concert with all the members, and my mom was gonna buy me the tickets. But then I woke up :upset:

If they did have a reunion the tickets would probably be impossible to get.

No, he just helped write it.

[pigonthewing82]

No, he just helped write it.

Oh, yea I thought it sounded a little different from the stuff Waters usally writes, I just assumed it was him alone because only he is given credit on the album.

[slowhand]

You know, everytime I hear "Strangers passing in the streets, by chance two seperate glance meet. And I am you and what I see is me," from Echoes, it reminds me of "I am he, as you are, as you are me, and we are all together" from the Beatles' I am the Walrus.

Just something I never posted before, and didn't know why.

I found Pink Floyd quizzes on www.quizilla.com to see which Pink Floyd member and song you are. Here you go:

-Which Member of Pink Floyd Are You? (http://quizilla.com/users/piperpfg/quizzes/Which%20Member%20of%20Pink%20Floyd%20Are%20You%3F/)
-What Pink Floyd Song Are You? (http://quizilla.com/users/alienpettingzoo/quizzes/What%20Pink%20Floyd%20song%20are%20you%3F/)

I got David Gilmour and Wish You Were Here, and I like it.

[Kingofdudes]

"You are David Gilmour. You are great at what you do and have fun doing it, but you also aren't too concerned with what others think of you and tend to be stubborn." :cool:

The song one was full of crap. I just cheated to get to Comfortably Numb

[pigonthewing82]

Just something I never posted before, and didn't know why.

The song is very Beatles influenced. The line "inciting and inviting me" is like the line in the Beatles song Across the Universe "inviting and inciting me" Waters actually made a reference to the Beatles in the song Let There Be More Light "and beneth his flowing robes was Lucy in the Sky" I think that as far as Echoes goes he was listening to the Beatles or just thinking about them and their philoshy just sort of inspired him and he wrote a song sort of like it. Not to rip the off at all, just to share his own philisophy. He may have also just thought of the philosphy before he heard I am the Walrus, and that inspired him to write his own. Either way this is just another example of how far the Beatles influence goes.

[slowhand]

Well, I tried not to cheat on the song one. Though it was very clear which answer was for each of the song. I just tried not to think about it and got Wish You Were Here.

Meh I kinda had a feeling.

No prob.

I was bored and had nothing to do. I thought that might spice things up a bit.

[pigonthewing82]

I was thinking the same thing, that would be better for those who don't recognize the lyrcis.

I got Comfertably Numb. Then it yelled at me for taking drugs and told me I was going to die :upset:

[pigonthewing82]

[slowhand]

Yes, isn't that just fantastic? =D

[Kingofdudes]

See Emily Play is probably the best music video ever

[TerryThorne]

Where can one find it?

[Modestbob]

See Emily Play is probably the best music video ever

it is a very strange video, with them just playing there in that field. espically with Wright just standing there pointing at the other guys. But I have a video for Jugband Blues that is really trippy and odd to watch. Because Syd just sits there with no facial expression and sings. and at one point the band is playing horns and stuff.

[Shazzam]

Arnold Layne is by far the wierdest one. Go watch at the official Floyd site (after some searching).

[Kingofdudes]

Somthing I always wondered. Was that preformance of Jugband Blues from when the band had so much trouble getting him to mimick the song for TV?

I got David Gilmour and Wish You Were Here, and I like it.

You are Roger Waters. You are driven and talented, but you'll do just about anything to get what you want, how you want it, no matter who or what it costs you.

You are Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here. You are confused and lost. you may feel that you've lost connection with your lover.

So, has anyone else seen the video I described a while back?

[pigonthewing82]

You I never knowticed it till just now when listening to it and thining about the lyrics, Chater 24 has to be one of the best philosphy driven Pink Floyd songs.

[JPJ bassist]

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 think goodbye blue sky

[metallicat_71]

I reckon comfortably numb has got the most haunting lyrics

[clown_phobia]

Comfortably numb is simply my favourite song ever

[Riva]

Wow, flash from the past.

Goodbye Blue Sky is a great song, but it's lyrics are more provocative, where as Wish You Were Here is really haunting.

[clown_phobia]

what are the guitar solos on wish you were here like?

[Riva]

Brilliant. Probably Gilmour's most soulful works.

[clown_phobia]

fantastic! that's the album I should get next then!

[Riva]

Oh yes. It's easily my favourite album.

[rippa32]

I was thinking about getting the wall album but then I was reading about the troubles the band was having at the time. So does it reflect on the music and therefore make a bad album?

[Riva]

Not at all. The Wall is a brilliant album, possibly one of the best concept albums ever recorded. Roger outdid himself in his storytelling. If you read some reviews of it, you can see how the troubles the band had only intesified the mood of the album.

[rippa32]

Okay ill get it. I was reading lyrics and I absolutley love the last songs lyrics (the mad buggers wall line). But what is the actual concept of the album? is it rogers life?

[Riva]

It is the life of a rockstar called Pink. Basically, it reflects both Roger and Syd Barrett (The original guitarist for the band), but it is much more Roger than Syd. It's a great album.

[rippa32]

So the story is actually made up? does that mean the storie to the movie was too?

[Riva]

Yes, the Wall album is almost identical to The Wall movie.

[rippa32]

Okay I might look into the movie. btw Is the songs the same in the movie or have they used non wall material as well?

[Otherside]

The film also has "When the Tigers Broke Free" or something like that, doesn' it?

[lunch998]

I couldn't believe it didn't have Hey You. To me that song is the most important part of the album, it's definitely signifcant as a turning point.

[slowhand]

Well, they took off Hey You from the movie because it was repetitive on the visual side. But they have it on the bonus feautures.

[moaner]

animals is totally my favourite album at the moment.

[pigonthewing82]

The film also has "When the Tigers Broke Free" or something like that, doesn' it?

It also left off What Shall We Do Now, whitch I will NEVER understand because (when added with Empty Spaces like its ment to) is one of my favorite songs on the album (well the live album)

[pigonthewing82]

animals is totally my favourite album at the moment.

For a while Animals was my favorite, but then Meddle over threw it.

[magicbus]

Waiting for the Worms has very haunting lyrics. Or maybe its just because he's yelling them, but whatever.

[TerryThorne]

Where could I find the See Emily Play video?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Waiting for the Worms has very haunting lyrics. Or maybe its just because he's yelling them, but whatever.
I didn't really think they were haunting

[Han Tytje]

I tried to search the forum for Live at pompeii, but I dont want to search through 3 thusand posts just to found out the thing I wanted, so I wont make a new post!

I am a dumb person so when I read through the tracklist on the Pink Floyd dvd "Live At Pompeii" this is what I found:

Songs:

"Echoes - Pts. I and II"

"Careful with that Axe, Eugene"

"A Saucerful of Secrets"

"Us and Them"

"Mademoiselle..."

"Brain Damage"

"Set The Conrols For The Heart Of The Sun"

"Echoes"


And then I thought: 8 songs on a live dvd? What's the trick here?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Well echoes is 16 minutes long
Careful with that axe, Eugene is 5:46 minutes long
A Saucerful of Secrets is 12:48 minutes long
Us and Them is 7:51 minutes long
Mademoiselle... I don't know how long it is
Brain Damage is 3:41
Set The Conrols For The Heart Of The Sun is 9:12
and Echoes as stated before is 16 minutes long

So they are all fairly long songs. Also, they are live so the songs will have bits added to them so it will be longer.

[rippa32]

What do people here think of careful with that axe? I absolutley love it.

[pigonthewing82]

What do people here think of careful with that axe? I absolutley love it.

I think a week or two ago I went on quite a rave about it, and meh I'm in the mood for another.

I love that song. I just get the feeling that they were trying to be as creative as possible, whitch I really respect. Also what Waters can do with his voice is just awsome, and creey.

[rippa32]

creepy - yes, awesome - definately. I actually saw it live and the crowd just sat there as if nothing was going on.

[Kingofdudes]

I love that song. I just get the feeling that they were trying to be as creative as possible, whitch I really respect. Also what Waters can do with his voice is just awsome, and creey.

His face looks so funny when he does that scream. Especially on the Pow R Toc H clip on the Pink Floyd Video Anthology.

edit: I cant believe I spelled it expecially.

[rippa32]

Yeah it does. For no particular reason it reminds me of an eagle, or that could just be the noise that reminds me.

[pigonthewing82]

His face looks so funny when he does that scream. Especially on the Pow R Toc H clip on the Pink Floyd Video Anthology.

edit: I cant believe I spelled it expecially.

:lol: Yeah some really interesting expressions.

Oh yea what did you think of that guys "They are far too loud" speach when they played at Top of the Pops. I thought it was great hearing Syd own him.

[Kingofdudes]

:lol: Yeah some really interesting expressions.

Eh you wouldn't be able to send them to me last time I tried the uploading thing my computer froze.

[rippa32]

Is there any Australians here? I went looking for The Wall today and found it for $42. Is that too much?

[pigonthewing82]

Heres somthing interesting, I just got a Pink Floyd bootleg with Syd on it called Syd's Sugercube. Its really good, and it really shows how he could really jam. There is also a recording of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. Now this was recorded before the rest of the band took over writting I assume because Gilmour is not on the cd that I know of. So did Syd write the guitar for it?

If this looks like you've read it before you probally have. I posted it in the Syd Barrett thread, but I deleted it to post it in here because I thought mabye I could get a better response.

[Riva]

Rippa, it's 55 dollars usually. 42 is a great price.

[pigonthewing82]

You know if you guys want to hear some good piano playing by Wright you should pick put Syd Barrett's solo career cd Barrett. Wright plays piano, and Gilmour plays drums.

[clown_phobia]

Is there any Australians here? I went looking for The Wall today and found it for $42. Is that too much?

nah, that's a great price :thumb:

[rippa32]

**** it. I didnt get it because I thought it was expensive. Ive seen other double albums for 30 - 35.

[DeusExMachina]

Hey everyone, I'm back. Too lazy to catch up on the old posts, I'm sure they were earth-shattering and brilliant.

I got The Wall for like 15 bucks, used.

[rippa32]

I dont usually trust used albums.

[rippa32]

Yeah thats true. Did all the artwork and stuff come with it?

[Modestbob]

I got that beat, I buy lps from my friend and I got the Wall for $4. And it was in perfect condition. And im gonna buy his Meddle and Obscured By Clouds lp for cheap too.

[Shazzam]

Gilmour played drums for Syd's solo career?

Now this I gotta hear!

[Schyma]

Gilmour played drums for Syd's solo career?

Now this I gotta hear!
I know the Soft Machine helped out out with his first album (Madcap Laughs) and yes, Gilmour and Waters helped with his second. (Barrett)

I didn't know he played drums though. :confused:

[Madcap.]

Gilmour was co-producer on both albums.

[Madcap.]

The druming one Barrett is pretty standard. I think Gilmour played onn Dominoes.

[Distant Echoes]

I find it hard to believe Gilmour played drums...but id like to hear it if theirs a clip.

$15 for the wall used is a good deal...but i really dont like used albums. I keep all my priginals in pristine condidtion, especially ones I try to gather the whole collection of - like floyd. You wont find a fingerprint anywere on it.

[Schyma]

*cough*...NERD!....*cough* :p

[Madcap.]

Gilmour is a mediocore drummer, nothing special.

[Distant Echoes]

*cough*...NERD!....*cough*

Then ive hit a new level of demoting nerds. :p

The only floyd albums i need are atom heart mother and The Final Cut. Ive really been so into buying new ones for the past 2 months, i barely had time to listen to em.

Then again...i got about 20 albums in the past month, so their all a little left out

Wow, Gilmour plays drums too? Man, bass, guitar, drums, he does it all, and good.

I really liked Floyd's stuff without Waters. Not that I dislike him, but I like Gilmour's voice better, and I really like the stuff he wrote.

[Distant Echoes]

I like Gilmours voice, but i dont like it in all of the songs...so '85 and on i dont really like. And the structure of the songs seemed to be a little weaker to, as well as the lyrics.

I cant blame him for tryin too hard, but i think waters was the genius behind that band

and nice avator :thumb: ive been lookin for one like that, but a bunch of the reflected rainbows, like the cd cover of the DSOTM 30th anniversary

[standard]

I agree, but in a couple songs (Sorrow, AMLOR, Keep Talking) his voice fits the song very good.

I really like Marooned off TDB, very good instrumental. Won a grammy. ^.^

Lucky boy, I got The Wall for 55bucks Australian. :(

The only time I ever bought a CD used, it had a big, near invisible scratch right across it. I took it back and tore the store a new one.

[lunch998]

I got The Wall new for 20$ American.

I got The Wall new for 20$ American.

Nice buy. When was that? The Aussie dollar is really strong now, but I guess that would have been similar to my price back in the day.

[Distant Echoes]

Ive never seen it less then $35 new. The only more expensive album ive seen is the White Album

[lunch998]

Nice buy. When was that? The Aussie dollar is really strong now, but I guess that would have been similar to my price back in the day.

Around October I think. It was actually marked at 30$ and I was prepared to buy it for that, but it turns out it was only 20$. Either there was some kind of sale or I got away with something.

Oh, the avatar.. Thanks :D I like yours haha. I'm a huge Zep fan too.

[Kingofdudes]

The two disc = ten more dollars thing is a bunch of crap. Blank CDs are very cheap.

Be quiet, Mr. RealPlayer Rhapsody.

[ArtificialLife]

i just ordered a live performance from the in the flesh tour, it's got all of animals, all of WYWH, plus a bunch of others. can't friggin wait for it to come in

[rippa32]

Ive never seen it less then $35 new. The only more expensive album ive seen is the White Album

How much is the white album?

[SeasonOfTheMad]

So i just downloaded "Floyd live in Venice 1989," and I'm pretty disappointed that Nick Mason has a backup drummer, and it looks like the backup is doing most of the fills and the hard stuff. whats up with that?

[standard]

rippa, I belive he's talking about The Beatles White Album.

On the backup drummer stuff.. No idea on that.

[lunch998]

He's one of few musicians that I've heard get worse over their recorded history. I understand if a musician is strung out on heroine or something that they aren't going to be in top form, but normally the person's skills tended to increase.

[Shazzam]

Are you guys talking about that drummer that stood up and played? Or maybe that's in Pulse. Anyways, that guy is amazing.

[Distant Echoes]

How much is the white album?

Its $35 bucks if the stores are having a sale. Normally i think it goes for $42 at most. Its such a ripoff its rediculous

[magicbus]

A lot of places have it for 30$.
I meant I think I got it for around $20 too.

[Josh]

Hello Floyd Fans!
I've got DSOTM, and I've heard shine on you crazy diamond and another brick in the wall, what album should I get next? I was thinking WYWH, but I'm not sure...

[Kingofdudes]

mos def WYWH. Not a single bad song on there.

[Josh]

OK, thanks. and another question - I know there's 2 parts to Shine on you crazy diamond on wish you were here, but are there any other parts on other albums?

[Josh]

No, although Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part 1) is actually made up of parts 1-5 of the song, and part 2 is made up of parts 6-9.
I fully agree with this...after WYWH get Animals and The Wall.
ah, that would explain why when i downloaded it I couldn't just find parts 1 & 2; in the end I got the whole song as one file, all 17 minutes of it.
I may get WYWH tomorrow, as I'm going to town :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Definitely do. WYWH is their best CD, personally.

[magicbus]

Definitely do. WYWH is their best CD, personally.

Is Live at Pompeii worth the money? Is this the best live Pink Floyd dvd?

[G_Mac07]

I got Live at Pompeii not long ago, and I'd say it's definately worth the money. I have no idea how much it cost though, it was gift.

[moaner]

Is Live at Pompeii worth the money? Is this the best live Pink Floyd dvd?

Yes, its very good.

I prefer animals, and meddle to WYWH. I just feel tracks 2 and 3 on WYWH really drag the album down, whereas the only parts of animals i don't like is the first half of dogs, and all of meddle is great except maybe san tropez.

[moaner]

mos def WYWH. Not a single bad song on there.

I hate welcome to the machine.

[Riva]

I hate welcome to the machine.

It's an awesome song. What don't you like about it?

[rippa32]

What do people think of the Final Cut? There is absolutely no talk about it so I only recently heard of it through a discography.

[Riva]

It's pretty much Roger's album.

Think of it as a concentration of the emotions in the first half of the Wall, Disc 1.

[rippa32]

Ok. Ill have to get the Wall still. If id only known that $42 was a good price.

[magicbus]

Pompeii is definently worth the money.

[Modestbob]

What do people think of the Final Cut? There is absolutely no talk about it so I only recently heard of it through a discography.

The Final Cut is my least favorite Album. I have it on vinyl and i freaked out when i found it (before i heard it). and halfway through listneing to it i was like "man this is crap". and since then i have only listened to it 2 and a half times. I think it is missing the feeling of a PF album, because Roger pretty much stunk it up. Altough A Momentary Lapse of Reason (pretty much a Dave solo) was a decent album.

[standard]

The Final Cut is a VERY good album. Waters' father was killed in WW2, so this is kind of a dedicated to him, and The Wall was about how he felt growing up.

The Flethcer Memorial Home has a relation to his father. It was, I think his dad's either middle name, or first name.

My dad has a TFC on a record. Infact, that's what got me into Floyd. He told me to download the songs and burn it.

[Shazzam]

Yes, its very good.

I prefer animals, and meddle to WYWH. I just feel tracks 2 and 3 on WYWH really drag the album down, whereas the only parts of animals i don't like is the first half of dogs, and all of meddle is great except maybe san tropez.



Haha :cool: Your are the exact opposite of me. Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar are my favorite tracks on WWYH, the first half of Dogs (through the first solo) is my favorite part on Animals, and San Tropez ranks just behind Echoes for me.

That just goes to show how different peoples tastes in music are. :cool:

[Distant Echoes]

Unlike everybody i know, Have a Cigar is my least favorite song on wywh. Im still debating if its my favorite album though, and im still deciding whether to learn it in its entirety on guitar.

[weatherman123]

i think theres obviously a huge difference between liking a song least on an album and not liking a song

with that being said,
i like welcome to the machine least on wywh

[pigonthewing82]

Unlike everybody i know, Have a Cigar is my least favorite song on wywh. Im still debating if its my favorite album though, and im still deciding whether to learn it in its entirety on guitar.

Yeah but the worst song on WYWH is better then most songs.

I say their best cd is A Saucerful of Secrets. I think the band works amazing together on that album, and its the only one to feature all the members.

Speaking of Saucerful, I know I asked before but does anybody know who wrote the guitar for Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun? Because I have a pre Gilmour days bootleg (Syd's Sugercube) and Set the Controls is on there. So did Syd write the guitar?

[Distant Echoes]

Of course its not near my least favorite song, just my least on the album.

I have no idea who wrote guitar part for Set The Controls...I could imagine it was Syd, since gilmour just popping in out of nowere and making something like that in so short a time, along with the other songs. The only debate could be the style how its played - like, i could imagine Gilmour writing (the song) Saucerfull of Secrets, since theirs so many effects and slide in it, but not like jugband blues (which he didnt)

who knows, maybe Syd wrote most the album, and Gilmour just gave it that edge

[pigonthewing82]

who knows, maybe Syd wrote most the album, and Gilmour just gave it that edge

That may be it, I mean it seems more Sydish then Gilmourish on a lot of songs. Probally Gilmour just played it on the album after learning Syd's.

[willis2441]

is money that hard on bass?

[Distant Echoes]

Well i dont know were money comes out of this...but its an easy riff. My friend tells me the whole song is easy on bass, but i know all the bass parts except for during the solo.

[pigonthewing82]

Just wondering to all you bass players out there, is One of These Days hard? I've always wondered.

[bennyl]

Just wondering to all you bass players out there, is One of These Days hard? I've always wondered.

I'm not a bassists, but I am listening to that album right now (its playing a pillow of wind). I'm not sure about the actual difficulty, but, the song uses a slide on bass and some wierd effects made by playing the slide directly over the pickups. Daves slide solo is awesome, though.

Do you know that the "I'm gonna cut you up" line is actually Nicks voice slowed down and lowered (he has a very high voice) and is his one and only vocal appearance in Floyd

[pigonthewing82]

You know Pink Floyd used to be called The Pink Floyd. I don't know it just dosn't have the same ring to it when you add the the.

[bennyl]

You know Pink Floyd used to be called The Pink Floyd. I don't know it just dosn't have the same ring to it when you add the the.

and prior to the they were called the pink floyd sound. If you see a picture of the case for the single 'See Emily Play" it says, "The Pink Floyd Sound" which is because the name is based on blues players Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, so they were trying to get the "Pink Floyd" sound

[corporalclegg]

What is the instrument used to create that sound after the guitar break in Corporal Clegg? It kinda sounds like a kazoo.

[Kingofdudes]

[Schyma]

Did Pink Floyd ever do drugs? (other than Syd)

I debated it with my freinds and we didn't come to any conclusion.

[rippa32]

I think they did. I mean look at some of the abstract lyrics some sort if drug would have been involved in that.

[magicbus]

Did Pink Floyd ever do drugs? (other than Syd)

I debated it with my freinds and we didn't come to any conclusion.
I'm pretty sure they all have done marijuana, but they didn't do it all the time. I was reading an interview where Roger was talking about it. Two guys used to smoke marijuana, and the other two would just drink. I don't remember who though.

And that is a kazoo on Corporal Clegg.

[Schyma]

Their also the top choice for most stoners.

[Riva]

They all did weed, and Syd and Nick (?) drank heavily, I think.

I think Roger reported that he had tried the heavier stuff, but the others didn't touch it.

We talked about this a while back, I think.

[Schyma]

Did they ever try acid with Syd?

[standard]

Probally have tried it.

But probally didn't like it, and didn't continue using it.

[pigonthewing82]

Did they ever try acid with Syd?

I think Roger may have. I also heard Nick did a lot of coke.

[Otherside]

They might have done drugs, but I do not think it was very heavy influence on their music, contrary to popular belief.

[dark side of the room]

Wish You Were Here was good, but it did not have that much harmony. My favorite Pink Floyd Album has to be either Animals or Dark Side of the Moon. I really just hate how people only like Dark Side of the Moon. You can't call yourself a Pink Floyd Fan if the only album you heard was Dark Side of the Moon.

[pigonthewing82]

They might have done drugs, but I do not think it was very heavy influence on their music, contrary to popular belief.

Yeah I think some of their fans may do more then they do/have.

[magicbus]

Yeah I think some of their fans may do more then they do/have.
Truth.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah I hate the steryotype that you need to drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd. I mean their music is relazing so its nice to listen to and chill, but its not better. Same thing with the Wall. Its fun to watch high because you freak out, but I have never thought up any new ideas about the moive while watching it high.

[ThebassX-plorer]

The best Pink Floyd song is "The Trial" or maybe "In The Flesh" because "The Trial" is a good story and "In The Flesh" talks about killing queers, coons, reds, and Jews. Also, "The Trial" has that awesome heavy riff that appears many places on "The Wall."

[Distant Echoes]

I dont have a problem with people listening to it high, but get offended when they say its only enjoyable when your high.

Uhhhhhhhhh just to be sure you know hes being satirical on that, I mean I know thats probally not it but I've talked to a lot of people who thought he was serious. I prefer the first In The Flesh on the first cd, its fun to listen to before going to a concert :p

[Distant Echoes]

That riff on In The Flesh is sick for being so basic. You can never play it loud enough.

The Trial is actually one of my favorite songs on the album...i dont know why, theres just something about it i love

[pigonthewing82]

I dont have a problem with people listening to it high, but get offended when they say its only enjoyable when your high.

Yeah I can't see how some people can just dissmiss the pure art that their work is by saying that. But I find that most people who say that are just smoking to be cool, so they just stick to the steryotypes, and those people are very annoying so I don't usually deal with them much.

[Thor]

Just listened to The Wall again, it never gets old. Such a classic album.

Who else in here thinks that The Wall was better than DSOTM? I know I do.

The Trial is an excellent song, but the best song on both discs is "Hey You", in my opinon.

[Distant Echoes]

I appreciate the wall for its greatness, but isnt near my favorite floyd album. Maybe because it doesnt have the same feel as all their 70s albums?

Yeah The Wall was my gateway into Floyd. I don't know what my favorite song is on it because well my favorite song is decided most times on how well the band works together since all of their stuff is great, but that doesn't happen a lot on The Wall. My favorite song would have to be In The Flesh (one) or The Thin Ice.

[pigonthewing82]

What do you guys think of the song The Embryo? I think its really really good, and very underated.

[Kingofdudes]

The Wall would be worth a lot less to me if it wasnt for comfortably numb. For me, it is the ultimate atmospheric song.

[Thor]

The Wall would be worth a lot less to me if it wasnt for comfortably numb. For me, it is the ultimate atmospheric song.
Comfortably Numb is a great song, this is true. But if you ask me, it didnt have as much raw emotion and hatred as the other songs, which was what made The Wall such a great album.

If I think about it, The Wall is probably the 2nd best album ever created, right behind Rage Against the Machine's first album.

[pigonthewing82]

The Wall would be worth a lot less to me if it wasnt for comfortably numb. For me, it is the ultimate atmospheric song.

I would like Comfortably Numb a lot more if Waters and Gilmour didn't dominate the song so much. I can't imagine how great the song would be if Nick and Rick played the equal part in the band as they used to. But I would have to agree, the Wall wouldn't be the same with out it. Its really the only song where they do much jamming at all, though its only a guitar jam.

It would be great if Rick would have added a thing or two to the song, but during the recording of the album we all know that Rick was going through a lot of crap with his life, se he wasnt really "in the zone" during the album.

I never really expect much from Nick, save a few early songs(One of these days, A Saucer Full of Secrets, Echoes)

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah I'm finding that I'm liking their latter days less and less. Its been at least a month sense I listened to the Wall (if you don't count Comfertably Numb on Pulse). Not that I don't love the latter stuff, just not as much. Mabye its just because their older stuff is more new to me so it just fresh.

[rippa32]

I was just sitting, thinking that if Pink Floyd only got popular after Gilmour came in does that mean Syd wasnt all that good? (I dont have the piper album)

[thunderstruck306]

Pink floyd is awesome! My favourite albums are Dark side of the moon and The wall. Has anyone here ever tried listening to Dark side of the moon while watchin the Wizard of oz. Its freaky. Did I spell oz right?

[DeusExMachina]

What do people think of the Final Cut? There is absolutely no talk about it so I only recently heard of it through a discography.

I am a very outspoken anti-Final Cut person. It's good in and of itself, but it's pretty awful as a Pink Floyd album. But that's just me. If you more prefer the Waters influence, you'll like it. If you prefer the Gilmour influence, or a balance of the two, you probably won't.

/late

[pigonthewing82]

I was just sitting, thinking that if Pink Floyd only got popular after Gilmour came in does that mean Syd wasnt all that good? (I dont have the piper album)

The only got popular in the US after Syd left, but I'm pretty sure they had no problems with popularity in Britain. In fact I think I heard that See Emily Play didn't do bad on the charts in Britain. I mean and just because a band is not popular by no means it isn't good. Thats like saying just because a band is popular its good. I think Syd's stuff is amazing. If you haven't heard Piper do so as quickly as possible. I mean if you don't like expiremental stuff then you won't like it, but if you do then PATGOD will be your god. I love how creative the album is, and expect for Saucerful of Secrets (whitch the band had a lot of help from Syd by) is their most expirmental album.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Quick Floyd question;

Does anyone know what year it was that Douglas Adams joined Pink Floyd on stage? And any details behind it.

(I know you guys are helpful, so I can sound demanding :D )

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Cheers. I was reading Salmon Of Doubt today and came across the part where he said about playing on stage. Along with a lot of admration for The Beatles

I also found it touching that Gilmour played WYWH at his funeral.

[shamed-angel]

Dude that song gives me the most incredible chill when I listen to it.

Im not a massive Floyd fan. I only have DSOTM and A Nice Pair. I've downloaded alot aswell.
Could anyone advise me on the next albums I should get to expand my Pink Floyd Hearing Experience?
Any help much appreciated.

I'm listening to Careful With that Axe, Eugene (which is awesome) and thinking about ummagumma. I first listened to that album sitting alone at like 4 in the morning. It may have been the scarieest experience of my life. Anywho... what do people think of The Grand Vizier's Garden Party.

So, I've never been a Pink Floyd, I never really listened to their stuff. Then I downloaded The Wall. I listened to the whole thing last night, and I thought it was amazing.

-non spam bump

When i was researching for golf season this year (which i do play), i found that on floyds latter tours, Waters would make an effort to book hotels near golf courses to play frequently.

Do you like Several Species Of Small Furry Mammals In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict?

Seriously, have you listened to that? Its a whole nother level of song writing than most of their other music. Its 23 minutes long, but well worth it... love the song.

Can i have some suggested listening? For some more 70s prog band? I've heard some rush, i didn't like that, and i'm listening to some strawbs (prog folk) which is cool. but mostly mid-era floyd (animals, wywh, dark side, meddle, etc.)

I love how creative the album is, and expect for Saucerful of Secrets (whitch the band had a lot of help from Syd by) is their most expirmental album.

Yeah I suppose I never really thought of that. Which is strange considering thats my belief with everything musical.

The only got popular in the US after Syd left, but I'm pretty sure they had no problems with popularity in Britain. In fact I think I heard that See Emily Play didn't do bad on the charts in Britain.

Pink Floyd where one of the biggest psychedelic bands in England but after Syd left that all changed. It took them a few albums to get back on their feet and until Meddle none of their albums made any money. After Meddle came DSOTM thus brought superstardom from there.

which albums were they? ie. pre- meddle? is that ummagumma, relics, that stuff?

[Schyma]

1970 Atom Heart Mother
1969 Ummagumma
1969 More
1968 A Saucerful of Secrets

You guys never talk about More.

[moaner]

i like some of the syd stuff, but its a bit too drugged up for me.

Can i have some suggested listening? For some more 70s prog band? I've heard some rush, i didn't like that, and i'm listening to some strawbs (prog folk) which is cool. but mostly mid-era floyd (animals, wywh, dark side, meddle, etc.)

eh?

[lunch998]

I need to get More, Ummagumma, and Atom Heart Mother.

[Schyma]

eh?
I dont like alot of prog mainly because their useually really spazzy but Floyd is so mellow and soothing to listin to plus they contain alot of psychedelic elements in their music. :smoke:

Ummagumma rules. I downloaded More and AHM, but I've only listened to each once. I liked it so far.

Yeah Astronomy Domine off that cd is the reason I started to look into the Syd stuff, though Astronomy Domine live with Syd is better (somthing off yet another one of my endless bootleg cd collection), not just because it was with Syd, I think he added more to the song. I just wish the live album was longer. I'm not a big fan of AHM, though If is amazing. As for More I love that song The Embryo. At least I think The Embryo is on there, to be honest I don't own More, though my friend does and I think I saw it on there.
