The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[lunch998]

I was talking to Jake.

Jake: I think a flanger will do

So why did you quote me?

/confused.

[magicbus]

OBC or Saucerful of Secrets for most underrated album. Any Colour You Like for underrated song.

I never really saw Have A Cigar as underrated, just brilliant. It never occured to me that other people might not recognize this.

[Otherside]

So why did you quote me?

/confused.

or did he? O_o

[Kingofdudes]

So why did you quote me?

/confused.

Did i? :confused:

[lunch998]

Did i? :confused:

Fine, pull your Ninja Edit. I saw you, Damnit!

[Otherside]

Fine, pull your Ninja Edit. I saw you, Damnit!

Have you been taking LSD?

[lunch998]

Have you been taking LSD?

Well, yea, but that still has no effect on this discussion.

[pigonthewing82]

what do you think is Floyd's most underated album, and also song?

Album - Obscured by Clouds
Song - Jugband Blues

[Schyma]

Piper actually seems to be becoming one of their more popular albums.
It SHOULD be their most popular album!!

[rippa32]

I just had a listen to have a cigar on windows media players media guide thingo. I might buy the whole wish you were here album now.

[magicbus]

Do it. That album rules. Like a lot.

[TerryThorne]

Probably my favorite

[Kingofdudes]

It SHOULD be their most popular album!!

I, with respect, disagree.

[Schyma]

I know I go out on a limb when I say that but nothing has quite touched me like PATGOD. I think the songwriting is way more creative, influncial and so trippy and psychedelic than ANY of their post Syd matrial.

[Kingofdudes]

I know I go out on a limb when I say that but nothing has quite touched me like PATGOD. I think the songwriting is way more creative, influncial and so trippy and psychedelic than ANY of their post Syd matrial.

I can agree with him being the most psychedelic, but I think Roger took songwriting much farther than Syd ever did.

[Schyma]

I, with respect, disagree.

[ATM]

So which songs should I get by Syd Barrett? I have only heard:

Long Gone
Scream Thy Last Scream
Vegtable Man

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

123 to what Gilmour said. PATGOD is one crazy album, and probably their most psychadelic release, but after the untimely demise of Barret from Pink Floyd, their music took on a much deeper meaning. If Syd had stayed in the band, I doubt they could have made such an impact on the music industry.

[Schyma]

Just get the album Piper of the Gates of Dawn or if you just want one song get "Intersteller Overdrive" but trust me the album is awsome.

If you want some solo go for "Octopus".

[Kingofdudes]

I, with respect, disagree.

So you say that Waters can never touch Syd and his influence? I say Roger has had a gigantic influence on rock. Even though he wasnt the first to make concept albums, he mastered the process of it. DSotM and The Wall are both very influential albums. Many modern artists have used those albums as inspiration for their own music. Lyrically, Animals is brilliant, and Roger's most creative. Waters takes George Orwell's story of a communist society and applies it to music.

I dont see how you can say Syd has had a bigger influence than Roger. Maybe in the 60's/70's psychedelic scene, but not today, save a few cult fans.

[ATM]

Cool, thanks man. Right now I am listening to the masterpiece, Dogs :cool:

[Kingofdudes]

BTW, I am not bashing Syd.

[Schyma]

123 to what Gilmour said. PATGOD is one crazy album, and probably their most psychadelic release, but after the untimely demise of Barret from Pink Floyd, their music took on a much deeper meaning. If Syd had stayed in the band, I doubt they could have made such an impact on the music industry.
I completly disagree but opinions....meh (*_*)

[lunch998]

I like PATGOD, but I think Syd is becoming somewhat overrated. He was a great songwriter, but Pink Floyd really took shape when they got Gilmour playing better guitar parts than Syd ever could. We can't do anything but speculate on what would have happened to the band had Syd stayed with them, but I think it's quite possible they would have died out along with loads of other late 60's psychedelic bands.

You are probably right.

I am glad things worked out the way they did, because the music they created is incredible.

[slowhand]

I guess everything just works out for the best. Dave is obviously a better guitarist than Syd. Imagine Syd playing the solo to Echoes or even to something like Comfortably Numb. It just wouldn't be the same.

[FatOldSolo]

I dont see how you can say Syd has had a bigger influence than Roger. Maybe in the 60's/70's psychedelic scene, but not today, save a few cult fans.

I agree but, I think had Syd been with Pink Floyd as long as Waters, then Syd would of had a bigger influence than Waters does. Syd just had a more distinct sound even though he wasn't as talented as a songwriter.

[Grant]

Could someone post the live version of Interstellar Overdrive? It's been ages since I've heard it last.

[Modestbob]

So which songs should I get by Syd Barrett? I have only heard:

Long Gone
Scream Thy Last Scream
Vegtable Man


I can upload Syd's whole album "The Madcap Laughs" for you or anyone else.

[Modestbob]

Syd Barrett- The Madcap Laughs

enjoy

[thickasabrick]

To tell you the truth, I think Pink Floyd probably would have reached their full potential if Syd stuck around. Gilmour could still play guitar, but having Waters, Barret and Gilmour all contributing to songwriting would have made their songs even better.

They may not have been as commercially successful if Barret had stuck around, because he was always just a little too crazy for mainstream music. But I think I would enjoy the band even more (maybe the majority of the world wouldn't though).

[pigonthewing82]

I guess everything just works out for the best. Dave is obviously a better guitarist than Syd. Imagine Syd playing the solo to Echoes or even to something like Comfortably Numb. It just wouldn't be the same.

Dave is better, but I think Syd is more creative.

Lets not get into the whole "what if Syd didn't go crazy" thing. Its so hard to say what would happen, and predictions just lead us to missing Syd more or wishing it was Gilmour from the begining, and nobody comes out happy.

Good stuff!

I've been looking for this album for a while.

[pigonthewing82]

Good stuff!

I've been looking for this album for a while.

If you liked it you should cheak out his cd Barrett. In my opinion it is better the Madcap. Or you could just get his newly relased greatest hits titled "wouldn't you miss me." I mean its a good complitation because you can fit most of Syd's solo work on one cd, and it has a few unrealsed tracks.

[magicbus]

/downloading Madcap Laughs.

Thanks for the upload!

[Broken Arrow]

I'm lovin' the song Octopus.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

magicbus-Guess who has AIM? DrJakeDestructo does! If anyone want's to add me, feel free to do so.

NP: Echoes

I have never really gotten into this song. I have actually only listened to it a few times, but right now, I put it on, and man...I almost orgasmed. It's Gilmour and Wright singing, right?

[pigonthewing82]

I'm lovin' the song Octopus.

Yeah thats a favorite of mine too.

Octopus, No Man's Land, Here I go, and Golden Hair are my favorites off the album. Also if you liked Dark Globe you should cheak out the cd Opel. It has an alternet take of it with much better vocals.

[Kingofdudes]

I have never really gotten into this song. I have actually only listened to it a few times, but right now, I put it on, and man...I almost orgasmed. It's Gilmour and Wright singing, right?

Yessuh it is

I find it weird that on Pompeii Rick sings the higher octaves, since that is usually Dave's forte.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yessuh it is

I find it weird that on Pompeii Rick sings the higher octaves, since that is usually Dave's forte.

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing when I was watching Pompeii. They both have extremely wide ranges.

[pigonthewing82]

What other songs does Wright sing on, I really can't think of many.

Songs with Wrights vocals:

[pigonthewing82]

You know I was board so I was reading the past pages that I missed in the Floyd thread, and also because I am board I thought I might share my veiws on this issue since its one I feel strongly on.

I like Syd's lyrics better because they have so many different meanings to me. While Waters lyrics are great, and I identify with them, I find that I identify with Syd's lyrics much more and one song can be identified with at more then one time in my life. Though one thing that is missing from Syds lyrics is the concept album. Waters wrote brillent concept albums, and so really you are comparing the styles of two different poets when you compare Syd and Waters. You are also comparing the styles of two different guitar players when you compare Syd to Gilmour. Syd was amazing at writting rythem, and his song show it. I like his rytheme riffs MUCH more then Gilmours. Though Gilmour's strenght came in leads, so he is technically better. Syd wrote some great leads, but not as great, or as many as Gilmour. So to compare the song writing and guitar writing to the other members is like comparing Apples and Orenges (waits to see if anybody catches the reference)

[magicbus]

Oh shi, everyone check the bottom of page 177 if you missed all the songs Wright sings on.

Actually, he did the back up singing on a lot of the songs which he also sang on in the studio albums.

[magicbus]

Actually, he did the back up singing on a lot of the songs which he also sang on in the studio albums.

Yea on the bottom of the site it does list him as keyboards and vocals, but they don't tell individiually which songs he sings on like the other albums. You win :)

Jake, thanks for bumping that.

:) Lemme grab the coverslip.

Haha, I just remembered how huge the mullet on Scott Page, the saxophonist, is. Bwahahahaha

Ok, I think it is back-up vocals on most of Disc 1, and then for Disc 2 it is Time, Us And THhem, Money, Run Like Hell.

[Kingofdudes]

So are you gonna send me SYOCD in the mail or what, man?

Im sorry, my mind went blank. What version of SOYCD do you want?

[GurS]

I-am-jimmy-page told me to share in this thread what I found in my dad's vynil collection the other day:

DSOTM, including both posters AND the post cards, in mint condition.

I don't even know where to begin with Pink Floyd. I have collected most of their albums. I think that nobody's home is a sort of eerie song in a way. It makes me depressed sometimes. Has anyone in here done the Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon thing? well if you havn't you should, after the Lion roars the second time on the wizard of oz you play dark side of the moon. you will flip out. it's so sweet especially when you're stoned

The copy of DSOTM that my Dad gave me on vinyl still has its posters, I'm not too sure about the postcards though.

I'm going to see the Aussie Pink Floyd tomorrow night, I can't wait :D

[standard]

oh boy. he said pink floyd is sweet when you're stoned. prepare for flamage.

and aussie floyd was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. amazing show.

A true Pink Floyd band does not need the sensation of being stoned to enjoy and recognize the talent in Dark Side of the Moon, comon dude get with it. And yeah we've discussed the Wiz/DSOTM before,....peace

[pigonthewing82]

Well he didn't say the band was better when you were stoned, he said watching the Wizerd of Oz lined up with Dark Side of the Moon is better stoned, whitch could be true, I don't know I've never done it non stoned.

[lunch998]

Lets face it, Pink Floyd is quite enjoyable stoned or not stoned.

[slowhand]

Hey guys, it's 2005, that means that this year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Wish You Were Here. Wouldn't it be nice if they found some footage of them performing the Wish You Were Here set?

I can only hope...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Lets face it, Pink Floyd is quite enjoyable stoned or not stoned.

Techno+stonage=:eek:

er..So my friends say. :shifty:

potw-Do you have a bootleg video of it, or some mp3s of them performing WWYH live? If it's video, then nvm, but if you're willing enough to upload some of it via YSI or whatever, that would be sweet. :cool:

If anyone else has any good live songs from WYWH, could you be so kind as to share a few with me? (Nothing too huge, due to my mollasses-esque connection)

[ATM]

So I just got Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs. What do you guys feel about it?

Its only cd, I can't upload things for some reason on my computer, when I get a faster computer hopfully this summer I'm going to upload my bootlegs and make a thread to post them in.

[pigonthewing82]

So I just got Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs. What do you guys feel about it?

I think Barrett is better, but The Madcap Laughs is really great.

[ATM]

I think Barrett is better, but The Madcap Laughs is really great.

I'm digging it so far. I am only 4 songs into it. My favorite so far is Terrapin.

[pigonthewing82]

I'm digging it so far. I am only 4 songs into it. My favorite so far is Terrapin.

Yeah my favorites would have to be Terrapin, No Mans Land, Here I go, Octopus, and Long Gone.

Well he didn't say the band was better when you were stoned, he said watching the Wizerd of Oz lined up with Dark Side of the Moon is better stoned, whitch could be true, I don't know I've never done it non stoned.
Im talking bout the music in general, and i cant say i have either.either stoned or drunk..so ofcourse i dont remember

[slowhand]

Its only cd, I can't upload things for some reason on my computer, when I get a faster computer hopfully this summer I'm going to upload my bootlegs and make a thread to post them in.

Well, I was hoping it could be like a DVD release or something, you know. It would be cool to see them do the live show and performing the songs.

[skynyrd73]

Well, I was hoping it could be like a DVD release or something, you know. It would be cool to see them do the live show and performing the songs.
yeah that would be awsome.......whos better Rojer or Gilmour????????definetly Rojer.....what do you guys think?

[lunch998]

yeah that would be awsome.......whos better Rojer or Gilmour????????definetly Rojer.....what do you guys think?

I prefer Gilmour, I just love the way he plays guitar.

Gilmour's got a good voice too, the only area where I prefer Roger is songwriting.

[skynyrd73]

I prefer Gilmour, I just love the way he plays guitar.

Gilmour's got a good voice too, the only area where I prefer Roger is songwriting.
yeah Rojer is a amazing with the lyircs. awsome voice to. Gilmour is definetly awsome at guitar. Im a little upset i asked that question..cause i try to think of Floyd as a whole..and they all contribute something different.

[Distant Echoes]

If i were to have Roger or Gilmour, Id go with Roger. Dispite their hatred, he kept that band on top as long as they were playing. Gilmours Guitar playing will remain untouched, but i think song construction/writing > Good guitar playing.

But Gilmours Slide guitar solos are ungodly. I couldnt dream of even coming close to his style

[bennyl]

You know I was board so I was reading the past pages that I missed in the Floyd thread, and also because I am board I thought I might share my veiws on this issue since its one I feel strongly on.

a late single they had with syd soon before he went nuts (moreso). They performed it on the Ed Sullivan show (I think). I have a vid of it that I might get around to YouSendingIt, and frankly it isn't very good, they sound like a crappy highschool band when doing it live.

[Distant Echoes]

Does anybody have floyd performing DSOTM live dvd? Im thinkin of getting it since im lookin to cover DSOTM on guitar a little better, or more interesting, since just playin the same thing now is wearing me out.

And is ummagumma an original album and/or live? somebody i was talkin to today really confused me...since i thought i knew more about floyd. I hate when i think i owned somebody then fail :upset:

Ummagumma is both a live album and original. Its a two disk set, one studio, one live. The studio isn't talked about very often because its not that great.

[Distant Echoes]

I might need to buy that online. I havent seen it in any stores here...ever.

[magicbus]

I might need to buy that online. I havent seen it in any stores here...ever.

Go for it. It's one of my favorite Floyd albums, mostly because of the live disc.

[pigonthewing82]

I might need to buy that online. I havent seen it in any stores here...ever.

Yeah, I bought mine on Amazon, and thats where I recommend picking it up.

[Riva]

Ummagumma is both a live album and original. Its a two disk set, one studio, one live. The studio isn't talked about very often because its not that great.

Ummagumma on tape is a solid studio album. I'm not sure, but I think when they transferred it to digital, they really shitted up the entire album. The tape version is extremely well done, with a real warmth and texture.

[slowhand]

Well, I can't say that tape is better, since I haven't heard it, but I still love Ummagumma. It's very interesting, very avant-garde (I think that's how you spell it) and really showed some progression. Not their best work, but maybe their more interesting one, from a musical standpoint...

I don't know if I understood that meself.

[BigTrav415]

I just got Animals today, completing my progressive-era Floyd collection (DSotM-Wall)
One thing I've definitely noticed about Floyd albums is that the more you listen to them, the better they get. This is the opposite of what happens with other bands. The first time I listened to it today, I liked it, but I wasn't really getting into it. Now its like my fourth time, and I'm completely entranced. It's weird. The exact same thing happened to me with WYWH and The Wall (I got into DSotM from the start :thumb:) It's not that I don't like them the first time through, they just seem better after a few times through.

Anyway, I think the beginning of Dogs has got the most awesome rythym of any Floyd song at least, possibly any song I've ever heard. I think all the songs are great though. I understand the whole album is an Orwellian analogy of animals to humans, which is part the reason why I like it (Animal Farm kicked ***, great read for anybody) Just my two cents.

[lunch998]

I remember when I first got Animals, a similar thing happened to me. It really grew on me and I listened to it a lot.

Awesome album, but keep in mind that Animal Farm is a criticism of communism, while Animals is a criticism on capitalism.

[lunch998]

SAme here but I havent listened to it completely in like 3 weeks.

Just recently I went back and started listening to WYWH, Dark Side and The Wall again for the first time in awhile. Maybe I'll listen to Animals tonight.

I can never remember being entranced by an album as much as I was with Animals and Dark Side though.

Animals is a great album. It's one of the two Floyd albums that I've liked from the first listen (the other being WYWH). Dogs would have to be my favorite off of it. I just did an oral report on Animal Farm today, I took in a barn with toy animals and everything.:D

I've really been digging Point Me At the Sky and Candy And A Currant Bun lately.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

That's the only way to do it with Floyd:D

Man...My friend is the lamest Floyd fan ever. He has an IPod, and the only songs he has on there are ABitW 1-3. He's more of a Korn fan, I guess. :p I was actually kind of mad at him when he told me that he put them on there. "Why didn't you just rip the entire Wall on there, *****??! :angry:"

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Imagine my friend: she thinks Brain Damage is called Dark Side of the Moon.:angry: Same with my brother. They make me mad.

[EightMilesHigh]

That's the only way to do it with Floyd:D

Yeah, can't skip through any Pink Floyd album. I found that out the hard way listening to WWYH.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I can never remember being entranced by an album as much as I was with Animals and Dark Side though.

The only time I was entranced by an album was when I listened to Pink Floyd albums. I as entranced for the first 10 or so times, then I was just in awe. :p

The only other time I have been entranced with an album has been with Lateralus.

I heart prog. :cool:

Lateralus is amazing. Gives me a similar feel that DSOTM gives me. All the songs seem meant for each other. The order of the songs is perfect. It's what I define as a great album.

[rippa32]

You couldnt really call Floyd prog

[Pigs3differentones]

Maybe he was referring to Tool.

[Shazzam]

I've never really been into Tool, but with all the great things I hear about them, I might just have to check them out again.

[Six Foot Revolver]

You couldnt really call Floyd prog
I could

[Pigs3differentones]

I've never really been into Tool, but with all the great things I hear about them, I might just have to check them out again.

If you like metal, you should check them out. I consider Lateralus to be their magnum opus (unless their new album is even better...), not sure if you should start with that album though.

[BigTrav415]

Imagine my friend: she thinks Brain Damage is called Dark Side of the Moon.:angry: Same with my brother. They make me mad.

I'm one of two people I know that listens to Pink Floyd, and the other guy started because of me, so about three months ago I knew absolutely nothing about them. I decided just to download some songs, and I downloaded 'Brain Damage' except it was called 'Dark Side of the Moon' on Limewire. You know you're a dumbass when you have the song on your computer and you don't know its real name :lol:

[Schyma]

Then what would you call it? :rolleyes:

Go out and buy the CD.

[Flynn]

I've listened to Pink Floyd for over 16 years. Absolutely love them. I have all their records. I think the most insane song they've written has to be a toss up between ''Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict'' and ''Alans Psychadelic Breakfast''

[Distant Echoes]

You couldnt really call Floyd prog

Floyd brought prog rock to an new untouched level.

and to Flynn...i never really heard of them songs, though they sound odd, but do you own all the albums including live and the other stuff, or studio.

[Modestbob]

You couldnt really call Floyd prog

PF is Prog, but you could also call the Space-rock (this term was orginally created to desciribe there early work)/Psychedlic/Prog/Art Rock

[ATM]

I think they are Art Rock.

[bennyl]

The genre doesn't mean anything. Listen to Yes, which is considered prog rock, and it sounds nothing like floyd. Music is music.

[magicbus]

''Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict''

That is a great song, very weird, but cool.

Cool avatar too.

[Otherside]

I think they are Art Rock.

Art rock is just another word for progressive rock, really...

[pigonthewing82]

Sub genres are good for when your trying to be as specific when talking about a band as possible for like when you want to get techencal, but when it comes down to it, rock is rock. Does it really matter if Pink Floyd was Prog rock, art rock, or any other thing they could be classified as? Does it change their sound if we lable them a certain way?

[Distant Echoes]

pigonthewing, your right, but let the conversation go - its really all this threads holding on by :)

And art rock isnt a 'true' genre...but gives prog rock a nice definition, especially for floyd. Then again, almost all music is a form of art - an expression of emotion

[TheDMV]

Progressive rock is very hard to define though, because it must move, or progress, through diffrent movements. Look at Yes, they are no doubt prog masters, yet they had songs that might not fall under the category of prog, but since they had many others that were progressive, it was still prog rock. I think art rock is more used for prog-style music, that doesn't quite follow or progress like most prog. That's just me though.

[pigonthewing82]

pigonthewing, your right, but let the conversation go - its really all this threads holding on by :)

Yeah thats a good point, since thats the case I'll throw my two cents in.

I think that art rock is defenetly a sub genre of rock, and many Pink Floyd songs are examples of why its a sub genre. A lot of what Pink Floyd does is art for the sake of art, whitch is what my defenition is of art rock. Examples of this are Careful With That Axe Eugene, a lot of the stuff Syd did, and the more "out there" parts of the Wall.

Other art rock bands are bands like the Beatles because of things like Revolution 9, or Jimi Hendrix because of the Star Spangled Banner (pure art in my opinion)

[TheDMV]

Talking about art rock yet no mention of King Crimson. I don't know much about them, but I think they like invented art/prog rock.

Progressive Metal

You may have heard of this as “Intelligent Music For Intelligent People”. Whether you agree of disagree, most prog metal is made by intelligent people, although it’s fanbase may vary in IQ.

This genre is probably the most often falsely attributed genre. However, it is also very difficult to define “prog”. Basically, the rule-of-thumb is that the music progresses. Riffs are generally used a few times, then discarded, in favour of another melody (except for when a main riff is brought back to keep the song cohesive). Drumming tends to be extremely varied and technical, and the music is played at varying tempos and time signatures. This genre features more keyboard and synth then any other Metal genre. Strange instruments also make appearances here. The vocals span a wide range of styles, however the lyrics almost always tell some kind of story, often being expanded into a concept album. Songs are also invariably around 8 mins and over, and feature several solos by every band member. Technicality of musicianship is a hallmark, but not exclusive to this genre.

Please note: A concept album does not a prog band make.

Sort similar to Rock. I'm writing the proper definition for prog rock right now, actually.

Oh well, i hope the interview was alright.

[Kingofdudes]

Progressive music can differ greatly. I think of it as people pushing the boundaries of music. Many prog bands dont sound the same, but are the same in the fact that they push the boundaries of music.

I just bought "Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live: 1980 - 1981"
I love it :D

I love the "Last Few Bricks" jam at the end, thought for a Floyd live album I expected more jamming, but when they did it live it was more of a stage production then anything.

[BigTrav415]

Go out and buy the CD.

I did, I had literally NEVER heard one of their songs and had no idea what they sounded like, so I typed Pink Floyd in the box and the first song that came up was Dark Side of the Moon, aka Brain Damage. I wasn't going to buy a CD forma band I literally knew nothing about.

BTW, if you go back two pages, you'll see I have bought it along with WYWH, The Wall, and Animals.

[pigonthewing82]

What do you guys think of Mother off of In The Flesh Live? I thought it was an interesting take on the song.

[Riva]

[/B][/I][/U]




Since you put it that way...every Band I listen to is Progressive. :confused:

Ill have to check that out when I get home. I think he does a good job with Welcome to the Machine on that album.

[rippa32]

For the whole not calling floyd prog thing, the reason I said they werent is because Ive always thought that they were a genre in thier own. Also their style varied, for instance the meddle album was mainly very bluesy but still had that awesome song echoes. That is an example of variation on the one album.

[pigonthewing82]

Ill have to check that out when I get home. I think he does a good job with Welcome to the Machine on that album.

Yeah I like a lot of the takes the guitarist does on the songs on the album. I always felt the sign of a good guitarist was not only to write good songs, but how they improv on others.

And again as for the whole "what genre is Floyd" don't try to find one, because at some point or another they have preformed almost every genre, to lable them a certian genre is like calling the Beatles a pop band.

[LaVey666]

waters lyrics were eccelent but gilmours voice is much better

Well the guitarist really doesnt do much for me. What I really liked about soem of the stuff he did was adding in the back up singers. They give "Welcome to the Machine" a whole different feel.

[pigonthewing82]

Well I feel that he did a good enough job at recapturing Gilmour's sound, with out sounding like a Gilmour imitation. I do miss Gilmour don't get me wrong, Comfortably Numb off Pulse is a god compared to Comfortably Numb on In The Flesh. I would have been really dissopointed with the album if it had been just like the stuido, or just like another live album from Pink Floyd.

[Distant Echoes]

Live albums is how i judge my bands...Rush wouldve easily been my favorite band if there concerts werent the same as there studio, but I really need to get Pulse. I hear nothing but good about it...though I might get Ummagumma next.

How do you pronounce Ummagumma anyway? I feel embarressed saying it all the time...

[pigonthewing82]

ooo ma goo ma :thumb:

And yes thats how I judge bands too, usually I just find a good live album and hardly ever listen to the stuido of the song son the live album ever again. I can't remember the last time I listend to Dark Side of the Moon or the Wall, in its studio recording, its always been Pulse and Is There Anybody Out There

[Distant Echoes]

Thanks Pig...you da man :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I just played DSOTM about an hour ago...but just the hard songs. I was thinking of gettin an SG with the money i got, but i can live with my guitar and its terrible feedback when attempting gilmours tone. My Compressor pedal alone is worth more then my guitar. Disgust.

Yeah, i might buy ummagumma offline. Are their any sites similar to amazon, but will let me use paypal? I cant withdraw money from there for a month :upset:

[magicbus]

Yea that's how you pronounce it, and I highly recommend getting the album.

[rippa32]

I was having a listen to pulse. Has anyone noticed the similarities between Gilmours and Waters voices.

[Kingofdudes]

I was having a listen to pulse. Has anyone noticed the similarities between Gilmours and Waters voices.

I used to think they were pretty similar too back in the day, but now I can easily tell the difference.


Also some DSotM songs that Roger sang on, also had David singing the harmony(which may confuse some people when matching the voice to the person).

[rippa32]

Actually I was listening to those songs to try tell the difference so there you go, that was my problem. I suppose I would definatly notice if Gilmour sang San Tropez or something.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah I really missed Gilmour's vocals on Wish You Were Here on In The Flesh

[TheDMV]

I think they sound very similiar on the Wall as well. I can usually tell who it is but they sound alike. No complaining though because both Roger and David have good voices. (IMO) THey fit the songs well.

[thickasabrick]

Rogers usually has a few different "voices" he can do. Gilmour has a more constant singing voice. Sometime's Rogers has like a desperate sounding yell, sometimes more of a talk/whisper, or sometimes just his 'normal' singing voice.

[DeusExMachina]

I used to think they were pretty similar too back in the day, but now I can easily tell the difference.

I had a ton of trouble figuring out who sang Echoes at first, until I realized it was Wright and Gilmour doing harmony.

Good morning everybody. Finished two of the AP's, so looks like I'm back for now.

[lunch998]

I still have my AP Stat and AP History tests to take.

/is avoiding studying to listen to Saucerful of Secrets

[Kingofdudes]

What can be really confusing about Echoes is that Dave and Rick switch parts (Rick sings the hig octaves sometimes, sometimes Gilmour does)

[fitzierocker]

Hey fav song and album?

Favourite Song: In The Flesh

Favourite Album: Tie Between DSOTM and Animals

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm officially convinced that Time has one of the most kick *** solos ever. Just the way the "ooooh aaaah's" match the solo is amazing.

[pigonthewing82]

Album - Tie between A Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle
Song - Echoes.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

Album: Right now I like Obscurred by Clouds a lot, but animals will probably always be my favorite.

Song: Welcome to the machine or carefull with that axe eugene (pompei version)

[Leper]

I'm officially convinced that Time has one of the most kick *** solos ever. Just the way the "ooooh aaaah's" match the solo is amazing.

I was actually just going to mention that before i read your post. Listened to it last night and i thought to myself "wow no one ever really mentions this solo imparticular but it really does kick ***."

favourite album: Wish you were here

Favourite song: that's tough...btw. Mother and Shine on you crazy diamond.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Album- Right now, I'd say Animals. I also like WWYH a lot.

Song(s)- Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Dogs, Echoes, and any other 17+ minute songs. :p Breathe in the Air, and Have a Cigar. I think that Have a Cigar has the coolest bass + guitar combo. It's pretty sweet.

[Leper]

I, as well as probably everyone else who posts in this thread, absolutely love the bass line to Money.

[Dragon_Prince]

I, as well as probably everyone else who posts in this thread, absolutely love the bass line to Money.

idd nice bass line, but I really dislike that song :|

[i_sold_my_soul_to_rocknroll]

album= DSOTM
song= Bike

[magicbus]

Album: Wish You Were Here

Song: Any Colour You Like, SOYCD, Careful WIth That Axe Eugene

[Dragon_Prince]

mhm

Album: Dark Side Of The Moon/Wish You Were Here
both so good both almost flawless =) only thing I dislike 'bout DSOTM is money, and Wish You Were Here is good but DSOTM has some perfect songs
Song: uhm :S SOYCD, Brain Damage, Eclipse, The Great Gig In The SKy, Comfortably Numb, RUn Like Hell and Have A Cigar

[Rothmans]

WYWH has no bad songs on it same with animals but man I hate DSOTM I dont know what it is about it I just hate it.

[DeusExMachina]

Good luck with the rest. :thumb:

Thanks!

Favorite album: Probably WYWH.
Favorite Song: Echoes, SOYCD, or WYWH. But, I've been listening to WYWH and Meddle a lot lately, so that may change later.

[lunch998]

Does anyone else in here think of Pink Floyd as almost two different bands sometimes? Thinking about my favorite album, I really though about how amazingly different PATGOD and SFoS are from WYWH and Animals.

Favorite album(right now): Piper
Song: Intersteller Overdrive, Let There Be More Light, One of These Days, When You're In, Eclipse, SOYCD, Dogs, Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There.

[Dragon_Prince]

I must add: Hey You and Us And Them

such good songs

[TheDMV]

I love Us and Them. It was one of the first songs that showed me the glory that is Pink Floyd.

[Riva]

Favourite Album: Wish You Were Here, Obscure By Clouds

Favourite songs(not including those on albums mentioned above): One Of These Days, Echoes, The Trial, Us And Them, Brain Damage/Eclipse, Goodbye Blue Sky, Sheep

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Adding on to my comment on the oooh's and ahh's in the solo, if you listen carefully the way the guitar build up sounds like someone is inhaling, and then Gilmour just kind of plays this soft relaxing lick at on the aahs like someone is exhaling (Breathe??)

Listen to the solo, you'll get what I'm talking about.

Specifically at 4:28 in the song.

But...

album: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall

I can't I have a TRUE favorite Pink Floyd song, as it keeps on switching, but just listening to the whole albums is what I do.

Has anyone heard any instrumental versions of the songs?

http://cdzinc.com/16K/rock/M_R/pinkfloyd.html

Go here and check out Orchestral Maneuvers.

It's a really good streaming site, like XSAO, someone posted it in the CR thread a while back.

I really like how they did the Another Brick in the Wall 1, Happiest Years of Our Lives, Another Brick in the Wall Part 2.

Hell, it's better than Korn's cover :)

Also, listen to Wish You Were Here on that album.

It's fantastic, I swear to God, I want to buy it.

Edit: That was a long post!

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm listening again, they're doing a great job on Money.

I forgot to mention Hey You.

I didn't listen to all of Run Like Hell, but that was mediocre to me.

[slowhand]

I want to do the favourite album and song thing too... Here I go:

Album: WYWH
Songs: SOYCD, Echoes, Money, Time, Dogs, Comfortably Numb, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Astronomy Domine, Bike and, of course, WYWH

PS: Malcolm and I have basically the same avatar, the only difference is the band. =P

How many people get chills when they listen to The Wall?

[Strum]

I think a PF tribute band just finished touring Australia, it's a shame I missed them.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Hey, Strum got his old account back.

Nice.

Are you thinking of that Australian PF cover band?

They're supposed to be REALLY good.

[Strum]

Yeah! I heard they were good, I just had no money to see them at that point in time.

And yeah! it's nice to have my account back. :cool:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It seems your avatar is just stuck on "Some Loving"

[slowhand]

I could make one like yours.

Like I made this one.

I'm not saying that you can't, I was just pointing out the resemblence.

Anyways, has anyone here has heard anything from a band called Soft Machine? They used to play in the UFO like Pink Floyd, and it is said that Pink Floyd took the light show from them. Are they any good?

[Strum]

It seems your avatar is just stuck on "Some Loving"

I don't know why, but it only does that when I use Mozilla. If I use IE it starts working agian. :confused:

[BigTrav415]

How many people get chills when they listen to The Wall?
Me too. In fact, I was just talking to another guy about Shine on You Crazy Diamond in the Audio Arena forum, about how sometimes you just kind of shiver. Here's my post:

Yeah, I agree with Shine on You Crazy Diamond. If you want to feel one of the weirdest sensations you've ever felt, get in bed, turn all the lights and sound off, put on headphones, and play SoYCD at full volume. The whole thing is awesome, but when it gets to the part when the music has almost completely faded out, and all of a sudden Gilmour plays the Syd theme (the four-note riff), you get goosebumps and just lose your breath. It's crazy. Also, when he's played it like three times, and then plays it again like two beats before the other times and the drums start to lead up to the "rock-and-roll" part of the song, you can hear a guy breathing hard like he's running. That is one awesome song.

Oh, and more on topic, I was sitting in Ruby Tuesday and it was real loud and you couldn't hear the music, but then I heard this "aaahhhhhh" and then "is there anybody OUT THERE" That was the first time I'd heard it on the radio. I was just sitting there with like half a rack of ribs left on my plate straining my ears to listen, and every once in a while I'd pick out a beautiful acoustic ote in the aforementioned riff. The weirdest thing was that I wa ssort of playing the song in my head, and all the notes I heard matched up perfectly. i guess that's what happens when you listen to The Wall as you sleep; it gets burnt into your brain permenantly.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm not saying that you can't, I was just pointing out the resemblence.

I guess you took that the wrong way haha.

I made it, but it's 2 KB too big.

I love that Syd riff, it's just so eerie and spooky...

[ok lateralus]

The Wall is an amazing album. Just amazing.

[ledpoisoning27]

I'm so mad right now, every time I go to any music store, they never have PATGOD. I can't ever find it. :upset:

[ok lateralus]

Favorite Album: Dark Side of the Moon
Favorite Song: Echoes
btw am I the only one who is scared sh1tless by Echoes? It's ****ing creepy as hell, especially that last noise, it sounds like a bunch of ghostly moans ascending in a ghost elevator or something... scary stuff...

[Riva]

Well, legend has it that Floyd were approached to do the final 11 minute sequence of 2001: A Space Oddessy. They declined, but when they saw how good it was, they decided to do the sequence themselves. Hence the beeping at the start, etc.

[rippa32]

I heard that the "beeping" was accidental. Apparently wright (I think hes the keyboard player, i never remember) just pushed one key for the sake of it and they all stopped and wrote a song after that.

[Sad But True]

I love echoes, the buildup is just fantastic.
Fave album has to be wish you were here though, every song is fantastic. It has special meaning to me too, the first floyd song I ever heard was wish you were here on my dads old vinyl of the album. I loved it. I've got all my dads old vinyls now, and he has a DSOTM '73 vinyl in very good condition, any ideas how much it's worth (I'd never sell it). Also, WYWH, Animals and Meddle all on vinyl.

[robo2448]

How many people get chills when they listen to The Wall?

I just got chills from listening to WYWH, such beautiful lyrics. I always get chills during The Wall, especially Comfortably Numb, ABITW, Mother, and In the Flesh?

[standard]

I heard that the "beeping" was accidental. Apparently wright (I think hes the keyboard player, i never remember) just pushed one key for the sake of it and they all stopped and wrote a song after that.

If you're talking about Echoes.. the beginning sound. The 'ding'. It was a keyboard played through a Hammond Leslie speker.. which gave it the circling effect. (It sounds like it circles around you.. or something like that :P)

Anyway, favorite song would have to be Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1-5)

As for album, probally The Division Bell.. Even though some consider that to not be Pink Floyd at all.. I love it. Very relaxing album.

[bennyl]

I heard that the "beeping" was accidental. Apparently wright (I think hes the keyboard player, i never remember) just pushed one key for the sake of it and they all stopped and wrote a song after that.

the "ping" sound was not accidental. The sound (as someone else said) was a hammond organ through a leslie rotating speaker. But, Leslie Rotating speakers are not designed to connect to hammond organs, so Rick had to order custom made cables to connect them to get that "ping" sound.

[pigonthewing82]

How many people get chills when they listen to The Wall?

Ony when I listen to it all the way through. I love how it all raps on with Outside the Wall. I love how the first 11 seconds of In The Flesh reflects the end of the album. Just the way it all comes together like that gives me chills.

[BigTrav415]

I've come to realize a very scary thing. I don't think I could get through a day without listening to some Floyd. One time I woke up in the middle of the night and was just craving to listen to SOYCD, but I realized WYWH was at my dad's house. I just laid there for like 10 minutes with my eyes wide open and I couldn't get to sleep. Finally I got on my computer and listened to it there (whole thing) then went back to bed and fell asleep right when my head hit the pillow.

It's like a drug. I've listened to them so much I thinnk it's burnt into my memory, because I can rememebr every note, evry rythym, every word, everything about every Floyd song I've heard. It's weird as hell when you hear it on the radio and if you sing along your voice syncs perfectly with Waters' or Gilmour's. Anyone else like that?

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah I can't remember the last time I went through the day with out listening to them.

It's like a drug. I've listened to them so much I thinnk it's burnt into my memory, because I can rememebr every note, evry rythym, every word, everything about every Floyd song I've heard. It's weird as hell when you hear it on the radio and if you sing along your voice syncs perfectly with Waters' or Gilmour's. Anyone else like that?

Damn, that happened to me with SOYCD (it seems that song has many different stories) and it began "Remember when you were young..." and I did it the same time, with the same tone as Roger, it felt as though I was singing through my cars speaker, it was amazing, but when it came to the chorus part, my voice couldn't match the tone since there are more than one people singing on that one.

I don't know why, but that reminded me of a story that I heard about when Pink Floyd recorded the song. As everyone knows Syd happened to drop by the session. Roger was doing the vocals, and after finishing, he turned to Syd and asked him what he thought about the song. Syd told him that it sounded "old."

I don't care how "overrated" DSotM might be, but I usually can't go a week without finding myself listening to it... I usually just listen to it from start to finish but often skip Money, don't get me wrong, Money is a great song, but I don't like where it is on this album for some reason. Dark Side is good for this because it flows so well and we all know songs like Time or Brain Damage have those certain parts that just pop into all of our heads at one time or another. It's stuck in your head after you hear it for the first time... well it sure was for me which is why I am still constantly listening to it 4 years later.

They do have a song called Nile Song off of More, if I remember correctly it's almost punkish sounding.

I know the nile song, mayble you got a different song under that name, but it sounds nothing like any other pink floyd. You can tell that it's dave's voice, but its actually screaming singing. Nothing like he usually sings. The lyrics: she was standing by the nile / When he saw the lady smile / something something for a while/ for a while....

Yes, sort of. It's great becasue you can't be traced on it, and it's really good for getting things. It's kind of hard to explain, it's not really a prog you search on, you click links on website that connect you to a single server, and you download the files off of other people who are downloading at the same time.

This is a great torrent site:

You have to download/install the client, but it's not that big. By the way, you should post your request in the YSI request thread.

Just bought Animals. I now own it as well as DSOTM, The Wall, WYWH, and Meddle. I've been listening since I got it and it's awesome. I'm about halfway into pigs, and grunting noises are playing in the background.

It may eventually surpass WYWH as my favorite Floyd.

My new Pink Floyd bootleg:

Obscured by Clouds
When You're In
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Careful With That Axe Eugene
Echoes (best version of it I've heard, this one is my new favorite song).

Dark Side of the Moon
One of These Days

from 1973

[Kingofdudes]

Very very nice tracklist. This is the first time I have heard of a bootleg where they play OBC songs

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah Obscured by Clouds is about 5 and a half minutes long, and when your in is about 9 and a half. They do a lot of really good jamming with them. this version of Echoes though is the high light of their career that I've heard. I have a huge respect for the band already, but this made it even bigger. And I haven't even heard the Dark Side of the Moon tracks.

[lunch998]

Obscured by Clouds and When You're In are great, two of my favorites.

[pigonthewing82]

Wow I just finished Time, and its amazing. My respect for Pink Floyd is growing so much because of this cd.

[standard]

Ohhh man.. I love 'One Of These Days'

Gilmour and that steel guitar.. crazy.

Unfortunetly my computer is too slow right now, but over the summer I well get a faster one and make a thread that posts my favorite bootlegs. In other words this summer all you guys are going to have bootlegs coming out of your ***

Also yeah Is There Anybody Out There was the first song I learned on my acustic :thumb:

Aw, I can't wait that long for the best ever version of Echoes. :(

[pigonthewing82]

Aw, I can't wait that long for the best ever version of Echoes. :(

Yeah the only problem with it is that since its a bootleg for a second in the middle there is this weird noise, I mean its no bigger of a problem then a cd that skips once or twice......but we all know how annoying that is.

And did the back up singers on the Dark Side of the Moon album follow them around for the tour, because they sound the same.

[WheepingGuitar39]

I can't really name my favorite song from Pink Floyd.. I love all their songs, but every once in a while I'll listen to a song that I've never listened to from them.
There's not much left to listen to but, right now I'm listening to the Nile Song, wow. I couldn't even believe that was Pink Floyd, but yea, great song.


Pink Floyd Rules.

I got Pulse yesterday.. it's great.

Does anyone have news on when the Pulse DVD is coming out? I have been waiting for years for that thing to pop up.

[blue3]

I have no idea.. I hope it's soon though

[robo2448]

I need to get the CD first

[WheepingGuitar39]

It was supposed to come out sometime between February and March. Then they said, June, then August, now their saying sometime between October and November.

But one of these days.. we'll be able to get our hands on one.

[Kingofdudes]

Yeah, I hear they are gonna add a whole lotta stuff to it, so I am happy waiting.

[slowhand]

I've been listening to Animals a lot lately. I think I've finally understood it's appeal!

Anyways, still love Wish You Were Here and it will be my favourite Pink Floyd album for a while.

Yes! First song, well... first full song I learned. Well.. still learning.

Very fun, kinda a stretch with your pinky to play it... but sounds good, and impresses people.

[DeusExMachina]

Is There Anybody Out There is awesome. One of my favorite tracks off The Wall.

[Distant Echoes]

I leanred it a while ago...good for me starting on acoustic a while back, and appregos and all that stuff. I find the closing chord the hardest since its up an octave, but i think the guitar i have makes it difficult, not necessarily the chord

[BigTrav415]

I had another one of those "holy ****" moments last night. It was like 1:30 AM and I couldn't sleep, so I was listening to The Wall disc 2. Understand I've heard this album at least 20 times all the way through by now (no exaggeration). Anyway, Nobody Home came on, which is one of my favorite songs ever. If you listen, throughout most of the first half of the album a TV is playing in the background (you understand if you've seen the movie) Then near the end of the song, after he sings "oooooooh, baby, when I pick up the phone" and before he sings "there'll be nobody home", I could hear a guy on the TV saying "SUSPRISE, SUSPRISE SUSPRISE!" I'd never heard it before, but it was amazingly clear and I couldn't believe I had mised it all those times. It made my heart skip a beat just hearing that guy's voice out of nowhere. I think that is truly the greatest thing about Pink Floyd; the more times you've heard it, the better.

I read about that a few years ago...some New York City DJ found it out 1 or 2 years after the album was released and played it on the radio. I tried it myself, and it was intentionally put in there...pretty interesting if anybody cares to do it (soundrecorder works fine too, comes with about all Windows computers).

Somethin about 'congratulations, you found the secret message...the funny farm...' and some other junk. Its hard to hear over the backround noise though.

yeah, I remember doing that on my computer with Sound Recorder, I played The Wall with iTunes (no I dont have an iPod, but iTunes is good as a music player), and as it played through the speaker, i put a mic in front of the speaker and recorded it with Windows ****ing Sound Recorder, then played it backwards. I'm so ****ing ghetto when it comes to hardware for my computer :lol:
Anyone that hasn't done it should, i won't give it away
(btw, you can hear it end right before he starts actually singing, so if you play it backwards it will start after he stops singing)

EDIT: By the way, it took them that long to find it (1-2 years)? When i first heard the song I could tell someone was saying something backwards, I just was too lazy to check for a while.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, in 1979, it wasn't so clear. I mean, now we have the technology to easily reverse a recording, so we recognize the sound of backwards vocals. Back then, I would imagine it wasn't easy to reverse, so the backwards singing would just sound like jibberish until someone reversed it.

[magicbus]

The last time I was listening to The Wall in the dark when I was falling asleep, I heard the heavy breathing on "Don't Leave Me Now" and it freaked me out. I thought there was somebody in the room or something.

I like stuff like that :p

There is a backwords message on the Empty Spaces it says "Welcome you have found the backwords message on the Wall...." or somthing like that.
