The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[if 6 was 9]

are there any bands that sounds anything remotely like pink floyd?

[Distant Echoes]

Alot of people tak about the mars volta compared to pink floyd. Ive never heard them, but youll probably get alot of better responses

[Rob_Xmas]

You are such a ****ing loser schyma.
Pink Floyd are the worst band ever. Id prefer to listen to britney spears.
Have a nice day cocksuckers :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


I HOPE YOU ****ing BURN IN ****ING HELL SIRWANKALOT YOU CAN GO SUCK SATAN'S **** WHILE YOUR AT IT YOU NO GOOD ****ING BASTARD FOR SAYING THAT ABOUT A BAND YOU COULD KICK YOUR ****ING *** ANY ****ING DAY! AND I WOULDN"T MIND DOIN THAT TOO!

Well said.

[LKM]

Animals is one of the greates albums ever produced. By anyone.

[lunch998]

Stop being idiots and responding to that guys post. It makes you look almost as dumb as him.

[pigonthewing82]

You know one effect Gilmour uses a lot in his songs is that weird slide riff used at the begining of Is There Anybody Out There (song). He also uses it in Echos, and The Embryo. Are there any other songs he uses it in, I find that those songs kick ***

[Copeland]

Stop being idiots and responding to that guys post. It makes you look almost as dumb as him.


You're right, we shouldn't be stupid like him. But you have to admit, if he doesn't like Pink Floyd then what the **** is he doing in this thread?

[pigonthewing82]

I just got a Pink Floyd bootleg today that is made up of mostly Blues jams. Wow Gilmour is one hell of a Blues player, there are some parts where you would think you were listening to Red House.

[Sonic_Immersion]

I bet Gilmour could play mostly anthing.

Such A talent.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah he really is I mean some of the stuff he plays is in a genre of itself.

[Kingofdudes]

When you think about it, it is weird that they chose Gilmour to play for them. They are all very jazz influenced, while Gilmour is a blues man through and through.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't really think the rest of the band is all that jazz influenced. Wright is more classical influenced than anything, and Waters doesn't really strike me as having a jazz bass style. Mason, I can't give a good opinion on, so I won't try.

[Kingofdudes]

good point, I was thinking more of what Syd was inspired.

But Wright did have some Jazz influence, he said a Jazz musician(I cant remember his name) influenced him on a few songs on DSotM.

[standard]

Gilmour isn't exactly Jazz influenced (listen to stuff after Waters, that's all Gilmour), but he is a VERY talented guitarist, and was a good friend of the band members. Why not use him!

[Kingofdudes]

Gilmour isn't exactly Jazz influenced
I never said he was

[skynyrd73]

I never said he was
i think we can all agree on one thing...Pink Floyd is one of the best bands to ever live....and although syd was only in for the beggingin do to acid is always going to be a part of pink floyd.....personaly.....i cant listen to individual songs on albums like....Final Cut...gotta play the whole thing through.....thats just me

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah its rare I skip songs on the Floyd albums unless I don't have much time to listen to the whole album and have one stuck in my head.

[pigonthewing82]

I love how a lot of their albums run together and the albums end off with the same concept, sound effect, or basic song, as the first track. I mean there are just some days where I listen to my entire Pink Floyd collection from start to finish. Those days are better then sex.

[magicbus]

Miles Davis I think.

[lunch998]

Isn't the name Pink Floyd from two jazz musicians?

[pigonthewing82]

Isn't the name Pink Floyd from two jazz musicians?

Blues, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council

[magicbus]

If you have Ummagumma, post. Because its sweet, and I can never remember who has it. I do.

[moaner]

I bet Gilmour could play mostly anthing.

Such A talent.

no way near, he couldn't play half the shred stuff around today.

he was still amazingly talented tho, one of my favourite guitarists ever.

[DeusExMachina]

no way near, he couldn't play half the shred stuff around today.

he was still amazingly talented tho, one of my favourite guitarists ever.

I love Gilmour, but I agree. He didn't play fast. When asked why in an interview, he said it was because he couldn't. I don't know if he was joking around or not, but I personally think the quality of music would diminish if he tried to play fast shred stuff. But yeah, not a shredder.

[skynyrd73]

yea i agree...like in Final Cut just for example.....its like soothing not like fast....not like hendrix by any means but a amzing guitartist

[skynyrd73]

high in the sky turned out to be miles to high...and u hide hide hide..........behind brown and mild eyes..........all day baby.....hey!! hey! get yr filthy hands off my desert......what did he say?

[skynyrd73]

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.
hell yea dude...u nailed it....u cant like Darkside or The wall and thats all and call urslef a fan....and kids these days have no respect for the music...they like another brick in the the wall part 2(correct me if im wrong) beauce it said we dont no no educaton...(in a private school) its realy a shame.....this rap crap has literaly killed music

[skynyrd73]

rojer waters had the biggest influenze on the music that went main stream....although some of the wall is about syd its about rojers experiences with syd....comfortabu numb for example....whats everyones veiw on the song "not now john"....(The Final Cut)?

[magicbus]

*Isn't gonna touch this one*

[Six Foot Revolver]

Woah! Quadtrouple post! :upset:

/Is jealous

Also please spell properly

[pigonthewing82]

If you have Ummagumma, post. Because its sweet, and I can never remember who has it. I do.

I have it, and you know I really wish it was longer, I'm sure any fan would agree that we would rather have sacrificed the studio album for more live stuff.

[pigonthewing82]

:lol: Like the Final Cut much.

Its not my favorite, but its good to hear sombody talking about it with out flamming it.

dude...im talking about Floyd not checking for errors..please comon..peace

[standard]

Has anyone heard 'A Spanish Piece' off More. It's really... odd.

[Riva]

/Me puts on Tape.

I cannot quite remember how it goes.

Did you mean the gutteral lyrics are weird?


Ah, yes, well, it would make more sense when related to the movie, I imagine.

Pass the tequila Manuel
Listen gringo
Laugh at my lisp and I kill you
I think!
Ahh this Spanish music
It sets my soul on fire
Lovely senorita
Your eyes are like stars
Your teeth are like pearls
Your ruby lips senorita

Thats what I like so much about the album, I love when bands sound change from early to latter so much. It just makes listening to them much more interesting. I really like that song Flamming too, very catchy lyrics, Chapter 24 has a great philosphy behind it too.

I just got this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4715283572) offa Ebay and am going to split it with four friends. What cds are must haves for someone who already has WYWH, DSOTM, and the Wall?

If you liked those cheak out Animals. But if you want to hear a different Pink Floyd sound cheak out Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So, here I was on spring break and me and my buddy popped in The Italian Job. For those of you who don't know, it is a movie that came out a couple years ago, and it's really kickarse. Anyways, I was watching it, and on comes this sweet bassline. None other than Money, but not the Pink Floyd version. It was actually quite good, I thought, so at the end of the movie, I looked at the credits and sure enough it read Money-written by Roger Waters performed by Scott Wieland Duff McCagan Slash and the other members of Velvet Revolver. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard this cover song, and if so, could you YSI it to me? :D If you haven't heard it, I would really reccomend it. I like it better than VR's other stuff. Other than the solo, which Slash ruins, it's a fairly good cover. :thumb:

yea....Piper at the Gates of Dawn...is with syd barret....wywh and dsotm were without syd...umm.....final cuts good....its not as lunitic but its still good....

[pigonthewing82]

Wow bumped from page five.

So has anybody here seen any of the movies that Pink Floyd has done soundtracks too?



Also what do you guys think of Gilmour's solo at the end of "The Gold is in The...." off OBC? I think that is one of his best solo's and really underrated, and I've never seen it talked about around here.

[lunch998]

I really like his tone and the solo of the first track on that album.

[magicbus]

My favorite solo off of Obscured By Clouds is probably on Childhood's End. It's different, but very cool. Kinda reminds me of the Have A Cigar solo.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah a lot of stuff on that album reminds me of a lot of their stuff after it. Free Four's lyrics remind me a lot of Time.

[rippa32]

Ive heard bike is a good song. Can anyone tell me what album it would appear on?

[Kingofdudes]

Piper at the Gates of Dawn

[DeusExMachina]

PATGOD: Astronomy Domine
Suacerful of Secrets: Let There Be More Light
Meddle: One of These Days
Obscured By Clouds: Obscured By Clouds
DSotM: Eclipse
WYWH: SOYCD(6-9)
Animals: Dogs
The Wall: Hey You

None of you guys have the guts not to pick Echoes.

I think its more that Echoes is the best song on the album.

[slowhand]

I was looking for Ummagumma the other day when I had the money to buy it, and I didn't find it. Then, the next day I find it, but don't have the money for it.

We live in a sick world.

[rippa32]

I got Meddle today. Can I call myself a fan now? lol. But anyway great album, but much different from what I expected (I previously only had Dark Side). Is all thier pre Dark Side material similair?

[Kingofdudes]

A lot of it is more "out there" if that makes any sense.

[ROM]

Pink Floyd is good but I find the bass lines too easy for me

[Kingofdudes]

Thats because Roger sucked(s) at bass.

[magicbus]

Yeah, it's generally more "out there" as Gilmour said, and a lot of it also far more psychedlic than their later work. Their first two albums in particular, both of which featured Syd Barrett in one capactity or another fall into this category, but after his "death" very little that they did could really be thought of as psychedelic in my opinion.

Fixed :p

Meddle is very cool. I hope you enjoy it, rippa.

And keep looking for Ummagumma guys, you won't be disappointed!

[lunch998]

Fixed :p

Meddle is very cool. I hope you enjoy it, rippa.

And keep looking for Ummagumma guys, you won't be disappointed!

I don't have a problem finding it, but it's always 22$ or so. I have a hard time convincing myself to buy it.

Also right now I'm focusing on getting more CDs of of Bands that I don't own yet.

[Kingofdudes]

but after his death very little that they did could really be thought of as psychedelic in my opinion.

Same with me. I guess you could call some of their later stuff atmospheric, but according to IAJP, atmospheric music is basically psychedelic.

[magicbus]

Same with me. I guess you could call some of their later stuff atmospheric, but according to IAJP, atmospheric music is basically psychedelic.

I think Meddle started the "atmospheric" stage, which is a good way of putting it, because all of the albums after that had that vast, epic feel to them. While the few albums before (PATGOD and SFOS) I'd consider psychadelic because they were shorter songs, and a bit more "in your face", not as laid back, but still experimental and crazy.

And yea Lunch, $22 is a bit much for a cd. I ended up getting it for Christmas.

[Endless Obsession]

No, he is still alive.

I wish it was $22 around here. I've only have found it at $26!

[lunch998]

I don't mind paying upwards of 20$ for a CD, but for a marginal CD I am alittle skeptical.

[slowhand]

I don't mind paying $20 or up on any CD, specially if it contains two CD's and a poster. But if it was $22, it would be easier for me to get it than at $26.

[lunch998]

Yea, good point. Whenever I get a job, I'll go out and buy it.

[skynyrd73]

Yea, good point. Whenever I get a job, I'll go out and buy it.
have u guys ever tried like bearshare or zazza....if u dont wanna pay that much (its free)......only thing is the "members" of Floyd dont get payed....just incase u dont wanna by it tryem out..u can get them at downloads.com..........(its not like napster)

[Kingofdudes]

downloading albums is for fags and (insert racial slur here)s.

[lunch998]

Yea I don't download.

[skynyrd73]

downloading albums is for fags and (insert racial slur here)s.
i dont do it either....because i have respect for the band..i was just sayin dude

[Shazzam]

I just watched the In the Flesh dvd with Waters...

I hated it. The guitarist was literally the funniest/annoying looking man I have ever seen. He looked like some American Eagle model that had a really bad twitching problem, and trying to play guitar. His playing was semi-ok, but it got to a point where I just couldn't watch him anymore. He also butchered the CN solo.

[magicbus]

In a way he died.

Just not in the real way.

That's why I put quotation marks around dead. :p

[Shazzam]

Also, anyone who hasn't seen the Documentary of DSOTM, go buy it right away. It's the best DVD I own. It shows alot of clips of Gilmour in his own studio playing all the songs on DS, and it also interviews in depth all of the members. You'll learn alot by watching it.

That's a very cool DVD. I like all the studio shots that shows how they made all the effects. Especially the part with On The Run, and the synth they used. Very cool.

[classicrockielzpfvh]

well the drummer (i forgot his name for some reason) just released a book about the whole life of the band (not sure if it includes individual members)... but its supposedly really good and interesting

[skynyrd73]

wtf was I doing writing that Syd Barrett was dead? :upset:

I disagree with solely downloading albums as well...I download songs quite regularly to see if I like a band or not, and I download the odd album as well, but I'll normally buy a CD that I like which I've downloaded as well. With Dream Theater I downloaded Scenes From A Memory as it's a concept album, so I didn't think just downloading the odd song off it would work. When I realised it was excellent I bought the album. :cool:
same here..only bootlegs and single songs of a band(not usualy)...

[skynyrd73]

yea the dsoftm documentary was amazing......anyone else here the rumors about a floyd reunion tour!?!?!....Rojer Waters sais he is gettin old and just wants to make some more money...and recnenly they sold some of theyre like "equiptment"....but kept the majority of it....i would do anyhting...to go to there concert if they reunited....

What I actually meant was the album is very bluesy (except one of these days and echoes). Whereas Dark Side isnt.

[pigonthewing82]

I just got a very good Syd bootleg. Its one of his last preformances with Pink Floyd, and they play a 3.5 min version of Jugband Blues. Its really good.

can you yousendit. I'd love to see it, although I may have it. I have a vid of Jugband Blues where rog and rick take out the bassoon and trumpets. Syd looks really lost in it.

[FockerTheLopper]

Did Gilmour ever go solo?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Did Gilmour ever go solo?

Yes.

[White Goodman]

His solo work wasn't any close to being as good as his work with Pink Floyd.

"Revolution 9" isn't really a jam its just various tape recordings by Lennon. You mean like "Intersteller Overdrive"?

[pigonthewing82]

"Revolution 9" isn't really a jam its just various tape recordings by Lennon. You mean like "Intersteller Overdrive"?

Sort of, what I mean is its so like trippy its really intense. Like the keybord is making effects as are the wind instruments, guitar, and kazoo.

Just use my favorite word..... "psychedelic". :)

Just use my favorite word..... "psychedelic". :)

I guess that does make the whole process a lot easier, I was just trying to compare it to a song everybody knew. Its really good the whole cd is just a bunch of Pink Floyd's stuff with Syd rare stuff, and a bunch of live stuff.

[RNR]

guys, is the concept for Animals about Animal Farm the book or does it just have the same sort of concept?

[Schyma]

Yeah, I'll upload all my rare stuff as soon as I can.

Yeah and my court day was delyed, but I did have to get my hair cut. I've been de-hippied :upset:

To Rock and Roll: Its very Animal House influenced, even Waters says the concept wouldn't be as strong if not for the book, but a lot of it was just a concept he agreed with and he jused used Animal House to fill the holes.

That sucks I really dont know what I would do if I had to cut my hair. My friend ran away and never came back.

*Animal Farm

[Kingofdudes]

Did Gilmour ever go solo?

Yes he did, he released 2 solo albums. The first one is very good, and the second one is still good, but a little more poppy. He has also recently released a DVD.

Yeah it sucks, but I gotta kiss some judge *** to get out of what I'm in, so meh. If you wanna see the before and after pictures they are in the community thread. Its like looking at the before and after of the guy in the Wall after he got it cut (oh yea keeping it related to Floyd :thumb: )

Two days ago, I finally purchased Live in Pompeii. You guys never let me down. It is fooking amazing. I have only listened up to Care with that Axe Eugene (omg black metal screams :p ) But it's great so far. I like the little drum solo near the end of Echoes Pt. 1. It's awesome.

How many of the songs that are played have you heard before?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I've heard

Echoes
Careful with that Axe Eugene
A Saucerful of Secrets
Us and Them
Once of these Days
Brain Damage
Set the Controls for the heart of the Sun

Meh, everything but Mademoiselle Nobs. Why do you ask?

Because the first time I saw it I had never before heard any of the tracks off Meddle before, and between the all around greatness of Meddle, and hearing Echoes, and One of These Days for the first time, by the end I was convinced the movie was my new god.

[Rounder]

Live at pompeii is just an amazing piece of art. I can never get enough of that film....Nick Mason looks like he is tripping soo hard on One of these days... :naughty:

[rippa32]

What would you guys say is better The Wall or Animals?

[ATM]

I prefer Animals.

[pigonthewing82]

What would you guys say is better The Wall or Animals?

Yeah Animals owns the Wall.

[rippa32]

Okay I might actually get that. Doesnt animals have a long song similair to the length of echoes?

[ATM]

Dogs is 17 minutes long, I think.

[Rounder]

Dogs is 17 minutes long, I think.

If you've never heard either album go with Animals for sure. The Wall is good but its my 2nd least favorite PF record right above the Final Cut, including non-waters stuff.

dude, Final Cut is amazing...the jaz (sax by waters)...good stuff...u just need to be willing to listen to the lyrics dude....maybe softer....but it still rocks!!

[Walrus Gumboot]

I can't listen to The Wall just by itself. I have to watch the movie. I don't know why.

I never saw The Wall all the way through, but what I saw was wicked strange :D

I liked when they put all of the English schoolchildren into a meat grinder

[handicap$]

ok i love pink floyd but if you think there awsome just from the song off korn your an idoit listen to them for real great band

Your talking about the song Pink Floyd stole from k0rn right?

[Riva]

The Final Cut and Amused To Death are really quite similar to me. Anyone else noticed this. It might be because it (The Final Cut) was really Roger's baby.

Honestly though, lots of bands lose members and get new ones, but people still consider them the same band. It annoys me when people classify TDB and MLOR as not PF.

Yeah, if you look at it like that then the Wall is not Pink Floyd, or if a member leaving makes the band fake then everything after Syd left is not Pink Floyd. Or you could say that all the stuff with Syd is not Pink Floyd. It just gets so complex its just easier, and less stupid, to call the band as long as it has most of the members playing in some way, Pink Floyd.

[magicbus]

I really like Childhood's End. Like a lot. The solo rules so much that I went out and learned it.

[Rounder]

dude, Final Cut is amazing...the jaz (sax by waters)...good stuff...u just need to be willing to listen to the lyrics dude....maybe softer....but it still rocks!!

I never had a problem with the softer stuff, I just didnt like some of the songs.

[Schyma]

Floyd never had a frontman post Syd Barrett. (IMO)

[Rothmans]

Sorry to move off topic (this will probably be ignored anyway)

But has anyone noticed on the second disc on The Wall track 4 (i think it is called vera) is one if not the most beautiful music pink floyd ever created i really wished they kept that moment a bit longer than one minute

[standard]

YES!

My dad said (i'm 15 mind you), when that song came out.. err The Wall did.. He was dating a woman named Vera.

Very cool.

Also, didn't anyone know that The Wall is a never ending loop. Listen to In The Flesh I, disc one.. First song, REALLY loud. You here "We came in", now listen to the last song, disc two. Same music style.. not like in the flesh.. but it says "Isn't this where"

Very cool I thought.

Same with Frances The Mute by The Mars Volta

Did Pink Floyd ever cover "House of the Rising Sun?" Because I downloaded a version of the song and it had Pink Floyd as the artist, but it doesn't really sound like them.

No it was mislabeled I mean there has been tons of sopposed "House of the Rising Sun" covers drifting around and all of them are the Animals cover. I use Soul Seek.

[lunch998]

Does anyone else feel like you're on acid when you listen to Intersteller Overdrive?

[bennyl]

Floyd never had a frontman post Syd Barrett. (IMO)

Despite Dave singing for most of there albums and doing the lead guitar (obviously) Roger soon became frontman. For instance, during the Wall tour, he hired another bassist so he could sing and act

[Riva]

Roger Waters could really be considered the frontman for Animals/The Wall/Final Cut. Those were his projects and he really drove them home.

[Otherside]

Yeah, that is really cool. I didn't know that happened on Frances The Mute as well though. Vera refers to the English World War II singer Vera Lynn, who was really loved by the armed forces, obviously mirroring one of the really repeated themes on the album, that of the military and the death of Pink's father, etc. It's a very beautiful song though, I agree.


Wow, Med, congrats big time mang :thumb:

[magicbus]

Send me it. It could be The Ventures or even Hendrix.

[Gittermonkey11]

I'm really getting sick of people saying that Pink Floyd is the best music to listen to when you're stoned. They have no real respect for their music and assume that the wall is the best Floyd Album. I love Pink Floyd but I'm really to much of a fan of the wall.

[skynyrd73]

Thanks. It's definently not Pink Floyd, but I can't really tell who it is singing. At first it sounded like a home recording, but not so much when they start singing. I have like 4 versions of the song, and it's not any of those, so I couldn't tell you. :upset:

[rippa32]

Well i agree, PF is amazing and genious not on any drugs. but i have to admit it is a great exprience on drugs though. And The Wall is probably one of my least favorite PF albums. I like the album but bot one of my favorites.

About The Wall thing.. Why do you dislike people because they enjoy it, and think it's the bands best work?

Because it's the most well known?

That doesn't matter.. It is a VERY good album, a mix of all types of Floyd. Both lyrically and musically it's one of the greatest albums ever. So what if 4 of the songs from it are popular.. The reason is cause they're so **** good.

And for the record.. My favorite album is The Final Cut.

I always thought actually that Dark Side was their most popular, but anyway, I agree with what you are saying. It's a very well thought out album and a lot of its criticism comes from people who don't even understand the album. I mean, the variety in music, with the lyrics that carry on numerous themes. Just because someone who likes Dark Side or The Wall the best, doesn't mean that they aren't big Floyd fans. Their early stuff sounds like the Beatles if they did even more acid than they already did. It's not for everyone. None of their music is. The Final Cut is underrated. Enough said.

[pigonthewing82]

Yea I think wish you were here is a great album stoned or not....

I know like its wicked good. I like Shine On You Crazy Dimond parts 6-8 (I think those are the right numbers) more then 1-5, It just seems to appeal to me more.

[Kingofdudes]

Meh work...

Im gonna get some gilmour tracks up for you guys some time in the future, and perhaps some songs from the animals tour.

[pigonthewing82]

Really? I find 1-5 more powerful than 6-8.

I like the instrumentals better, and eh they lyrics in some ways are better in 1-5, but I just get more emotion out of 6-8.

[pigonthewing82]

I love the sax in 1-5.

Yeah that is what is missing from 6-8, I really concider the whole thing as one song though. The only reason why it was broken up is because Waters likes to have his albums come round full circle in the end, like Pig on the Wing being two songs instead of the original one.

[Kingofdudes]

Gilmour adds a sax solo to 6-9 on his DVD. From what I recall it was pretty good(meh it has been a while since I have seen it)

That DVD is so expensive. :(

I got it cheap as hell off of amazon.
Didn't he also do it acustic (sp?)
The concert is mostly unplugged, but a few things arent(such as a few guitar solos, and the slide work on 6-8).

He does 1-5 on acoustic, but he also includes the sax solo.


Hmm I really need to watch the DVD again.

[Kingofdudes]

I think around $13.

[pigonthewing82]

I love Shine On's lyrics, they are very haunting, only out done by that of Jugband Blues in my opinion.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man...I could seriously listened to SOYCD all day long. It is just such a good song. Everything about it is gold. There is a nice emotional section in the beggining, then it shifts to kind of eerie and foreboding almost. I love it. One day I thought about learning the first solo of the song, and then I realized that the solo is just pure emotion. There is no way I could pull that off. :p

[appreciate_it]

i just read...

DSOTM stayed in the UKtop 100 for 11 years! thats ****in insane. imagine in 2016 and todays album will still be in the top 100. thats incredible... i was reading a bio and they always get it wrong..
(quotes)
Rick Wright Guitar
Syd Barret Guitar and vocals...
Roger Waters, Bass.

argh get pissed off with kids making up articles...

Oh quickly, the wall DVD is based on Waters right?
i heard someone say it was about syd... i know they both had troubled childhoods with the fathers dying at war... its quite moving when the lil pink trys to hang around with that other dad at the playground... sucha good DVD

[rippa32]

I havnt seen the movie or heard the album but I think it does have a bit of reference to Syd.

[Riva]

The Wall is a combination of Syd and Roger. It is basically 95% Roger's personal feelings, and 5% Roger's view of Syd.

[bennyl]

Yeah, that's about right. A lot of people overstate Syd's influence on the album, and on the character of Pink. Personally I think that Wish You Were Here was really necessary for the band to actually get Syd out of their system as it were, as the whole album is about him in one way or another, but The Wall is definitely Waters's album, both conceptually and personally. Especially with the recurrent themes about school and war, it really is him talking. I only found out the other day though that on Nobody Home (possibly my favourite song on the album) the reference to elastic bands keeping shoes on actually comes directly from Syd, who did that. Nobody Home really is such a great piece of music though. The first 6 songs on Disc 2 of The Wall are possibly my favourite suite of music ever written, and that may be the best bit.

In the film, the shot where yousee Bob Geldof (Pink)sitting in a chair with a cigarette burning down between his fingers comes directly from syd. Same with the shaving. but it is prodominately Roger. When he first showed the rest of the band his concept, Rick later said something along the linesof, "he was writing about his mother and his school and the war again..."

[magicbus]

I can play SOYCD 1-5.

[FatOldSolo]

I don't know the proper etiquette here, but I would just like to announce my presence. I hope to post a lot in the future. I'm pretty much a neophyte fan, but I genuinely love Pink Floyd's music. Currently, im completely obsessed with Atom Heart Mother. I really enjoy the combination of full brass sections with acoustic ballads. I think Rick Wright really shines on that album. As you can tell from my name, I particularly enjoy Fat Old Sun.

word word word. It is nice to see someone new that doesnt rave about DSotM/The Wizard of Oz and DSotM synch up.

Sorry guys, I still cant get the songs up :-/

[lunch998]

The first 6 songs on Disc 2 of The Wall are possibly my favourite suite of music ever written, and that may be the best bit.

I love the first two(Is There Anybody Out There has become the high point of the album for me), then I love the last 6 songs on disc 2. The beginning-middle part doesn't do much for me.

[lunch998]

I can play SOYCD 1-5.

That's awesome.

SOYCD 6-9 still pwns though. When Gilmour hits those high notes in the guitar solo I almost cream my pants.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah, I don't really know whitch disk I like better, I just try to think of the album as a whole more. I think In The Flesh is an awsome opener though.

[lunch998]

Yeah, I don't really know whitch disk I like better, I just try to think of the album as a whole more. I think In The Flesh is an awsome opener though.

I really like the beginning of 1, but the ending I find lame. Except for ABItW Pt.3.

Disc 2>1. Two is bound to be better. One is all about bad things happening to him, basically, which get him to set up the wall. While emotional, I find these songs aren't generally as good as the tracks on the second disc. On disc two there is so much more mood and feeling to me, you get that great feeling of the anger, lonliness, and desperation that Waters was trying to convey.

Yeah, disk one does drop off after Mother. I do like disk two better, I just identify with In the Flesh-Mother much more then the songs on the second disk.

[lunch998]

Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, and ABItW Pt. 3 are all solid. Another Brick in the Wall 3 is one of my favorite songs from the album.

[pigonthewing82]

Eh Young Lust is great but it never really did much for me, Goodbye Blue Sky is good too, Another Brick in the Wall 3 is meh, I like its energy, but thats about it. Don't Leave me Now is the down point of the disk, One of myh Turns is ok though.

[lunch998]

Another Brick In the Wall pt. 3 is very important for the plot. Musically it's basically worthless by itself. Conceptually, it's amazing.

I just reviewed The Wall for another site, but it's lame compared to Med's review. I tried to do an abridged version, so as it wouldn't take me 3+ hours to do.

[Riva]

One of My Turns is great. However, my favourite song from disc 1 has to be Goodbye Blue Sky. I defy you to find such a short, yet musically and conceptually rich song.

[Schyma]

I really like the cartoon that goes along with "Goodbye Blue Sky" in the movie and the music is great too.

[Riva]

You mean the figures with the natural gasmask faces? I know, it is really mind-blowing when you consider some of the stuff that goes on.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The mask things have to be some of the scariest cartoons ever concieved. The first time I watched it, I just kind of curled up into a tight ball and wimpered for a while. :p

[rippa32]

Seems like a good movie. Is it worth getting the actual album first though?

[Riva]

Get both at the same time, if possible. Think of it as two tools for learning the full story. Alone, they are moderately good at telling you what Roger is trying to get across, but together, they are a story telling force to be reckoned with.

I love both discs. Disc 1 is more appealing for people who are just listening to the music casually and aren't paying attention to the story. Disc 2 is very musically experimental (Nobody Home, Is There Anybody Out There?, The Trial, etc.), it has more to do with the concept than the music itself, I think, however still great musically. In the Flesh? and The Thin Ice are so cool to open an album with, musically and lyrically. The whole idea of In the Flesh? being about Pink being born and than The Thin Ice being about how Pink is being told that the world may look like a nice place, but there's really just a lot of dissapointment and pain, is just so cool to me. Anyone agree? The whole album is classic.

I've been trying to master some Pink Floyd solos in the past little while. So far I've got Time, Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2, Comfortably Numb (1st solo only), I'm working on the second solo for Comfortably Numb, but it's proving a little more difficult. I've never been too great with picking speed. I think next I'm gonna learn Money.

What are some of your favourite solos? other than the ones I've mentioned. Just so I can get a good idea on any solos I should/could learn next. I just find Gilmour to be a fascinating guitarist, and I love playing his songs, especially his solos.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Mother and One of My Turns.

However, if you are looking for something more epic, you should learn Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all 9 parts), and all 3 solos to Dogs. Master those, and you're the man.

[pigonthewing82]

I think one of Gimours most underrated solos is his one in The Gold is in the..... off Obscured by Clouds.

[standard]

I'd agree. Infact, I overlooked it. It is a VERY good solo, but people can't tell because it blends with the music so well... unless you pay attention.

[Kingofdudes]

My favorite guitar work is in Dogs. OBC and TDB also have very strong guitar solos.

[Darkness]

I kinda want to get into this band...wheres a good place to start?

[Riva]

Basically, buy DSOTM. This is easily Floyd's most accesible albums.

[lunch998]

I really like Gilmour's short solo in Hey You. But basically Dogs and SOYCD are my favorite Gilmour parts.

[Darkness]

dsotm? does that stand for something?

[pigonthewing82]

I kinda want to get into this band...wheres a good place to start?

Dark Side of the Moon - for the most main streat recording
The Wall - For a great concept album
Wish You Were Here, Animals, Meddle - For great instrumental jams
Piper at the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother - For exprimental trippy stuff
Obscured By Clouds, More - Film Sound tracks

The Final Cut, The Divison Bell, A Momentary Lapse of Reason- The final cut was the last Pink Floyd album, but its mostly just a Roger Waters solo album, and the other two are the band with out Waters, so save these three for last.

[Darkness]

^ Wow thanks..

[pigonthewing82]

^ Wow thanks..

No problem man enjoy getting into Pink Floyd

[lunch998]

Dark Side is definitely the way to go, even if you grow past it. I listened to it the other day for the first time in awhile, I forgot how great it was.

I would also start with DSOTM. That was the first Floyd album I heard, and I was amazed. I wish could hear it for the first time again.

Incredible album. I can never go into Walmart without it

I wish I could hear Sgt. Pepper's for the first time again

[slowhand]

Finally, after a hard search, I am now in possession of Ummagumma... since last Monday.

I'm glad with the purchase. I just love the live album, specially Astronomy Domine, and the studio album is great too. Love it.

Doesn't the live album rule? Gilmour's vocals at the end of A Saucerful of Secrets are haunting.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah I think thats Gilmour's best vocal work, though I think its better on Live at Pompii.

[Schyma]

Yea but the studio album sucks. (harsh but true)

[skynyrd73]

Yea but the studio album sucks. (harsh but true)
what do you think is Floyd's most underated album, and also song?

[banana_man]

most of there instrumental stuf is underated like....be carful with that ax eugene and one of theses days

[skynyrd73]

most of there instrumental stuf is underated like....be carful with that ax eugene and one of theses days
yeah i agree

[pigonthewing82]

Not for me, I listen to them so much I overrate them.

[slowhand]

I think it has its high and lows. I like Sysyphus I-II and The Narrow Way II.

[magicbus]

I like the studio album. All of The Narrow Ways are cool, Roger's stuff is weird, but listenable, and from what I remember I liked Rick's songs too. I haven't listened to his or Nick's as much though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Underrated album would have to be The Division Bell. At least for me, it is. Lyrically, it may not be up to par with Pink Floyd's best stuff, due to the absence of Waters, but insturmentally, every song on there is beautiful, IMO. :D

It's hard to say most underrated song, because there are so many that noone has really heard.(When I say noone, I don't mean the people in this thread, I mean everyone) I think I'd say Have a Cigar, or Young Lust. I have this wierd obsession with both of those tracks. The intro to Have a Cigar is awesome, as well as the solo. I've said it before, but I just love the solo to Young Lust. I find it to be very underrated.

[Otherside]

I think Hey You is way overshadowed by Comfortably Numb.

[pigonthewing82]

I think Hey You is way overshadowed by Comfortably Numb.

To be honest Hey You never did anything for me. I mean everybody here knows how dedicated of a Pink Floyd fan I am, but eh its a great song, and I never skip it, but I never look forward to it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I also really like Hey You. I really only like the beginning, though. Near the end, it gets too dark for my liking. :-/ The intro riff is also very good. It's fun to play too.

[lunch998]

Hey You and Is There Anybody Out There really do it for me, whatever it is. I love those two tracks, those are the high point of The Wall for me.

[Shazzam]

Have a Cigar is underrated, but is a very good song indeed.

Any Colour You Like is also somewhat underrated, when being compared to some of DSOTM's other tracks. The keyboard solo is amazing, and the guitar solo is the most physcadelic noodling i've ever heard come out of a guitar. Try listening to it in a pitch black room high, and boy will that song take you on a journey.

[lunch998]

Interstellar Overdrive takes you on quite a journey.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hey You and Is There Anybody Out There really do it for me, whatever it is. I love those two tracks, those are the high point of The Wall for me.

"The worms ate into his brain"

That's your favorite part on the entire album, amirite? :)

I agree with Shazzam about Any Colour you Like. Does anyone know what kind of effect Gilmour uses?

[lunch998]

"The worms ate into his brain"

That's your favorite part on the entire album, amirite? :)

Yes, yes you are. It's intensely epic to me for some reason.

/goes to listen to it.

[Otherside]

I like Hey You alot because, mainly, of the solo. It's fun to play on guitar too :p

For the first month or so that I listened to Pink Floyd Have a Cigar was my favorite song.

[lunch998]

I think you can pull it off with a flanger.

I was just talking about Hey You, not about Any Color You Like.

[Schyma]

what do you think is Floyd's most underated album, and also song?
Piper of the Gates of Dawn and "Intersteller Overdrive".

[Kingofdudes]

I was just talking about Hey You, not about Any Color You Like.

I was talking to Jake.

Jake: I think a flanger will do

[lunch998]

Piper of the Gates of Dawn and "Intersteller Overdrive".

Piper actually seems to be becoming one of their more popular albums.
