The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[dimenwylde22]

I still dont understand why everyone incorporates Pink Floyd with Drugs?
And why almost everyone has to smoke up at a Floyd concert.


Aint the question buddy :wave:

[Kingofdudes]

Most of their songs seem like drug induced songs to Non-Floyd Fans.
Comfortably Numb is about drugs though

[MBS]

Comfortably Numb is about drugs though

Notice how I said MOST.

[Kingofdudes]

Notice how I said MOST.
Meh, your grammar is terrible in that sentence, so it is hard to tell what you are pointing at :p The way it is written makes it sound like you say" Most of the songs sound drug induced to them, but some dont" :eng101:

But Comfortably Numb does mislead some people.

.....:angry:

/shoots out kneecaps.

How be my grammar now!?

[Scooch]

Drugs will always be associated with Pink Floyd mostly because of the under ground physcadelic movement of the late 60s. Only one of the members really got in touch with the movement and ended up going crazy. All the other members were just in it for the music and fame.

[moaner]

when i went to aussie floyd I can't help but think some people went there expecting everybody to be smoking hashh. its a bit said.

amazing gig though.

[The Moor]

Comfortably Numb is about drugs though

I thought Comfortably Numb was about how one of the band members who ill during a show one night and it reminded him of when he was a child and got sick and his hands swelled up, so he wrote a song about it. I know I read that somewhere.

[moaner]

nope, not the way i see it.

Touring has taken its toll on Pink, who simply can't manage it anymore. Someone like a promoter or his manager has given him drugs so that he can play the show.

[WheepingGuitar39]

Their main songwriter for their first album went crazy because he used so much acid.

Most of their songs seem like drug induced songs to Non-Floyd Fans.
I know but, I'm pretty sure I read an interview where Gilmour said people who need drugs to listen to their music are idiots

[WheepingGuitar39]

so you saw aussie floyd too, they were pretty great. Did they play Pulse too?
Anyway in montreal they played in the Bell centre, which is a pretty big arena where NHL hockey games are played.
I went there with my father and little brother.
After a couple of songs, you could see all the smoke building up in the top of the place. The 4 people in front of us were smoking big time and sending their smoke upwards, towards us.
My dad had to take care of them. :lol:

[DeusExMachina]

It's about drugs. All of it fits into the context of the album, and that wouldn't fit in to the concept.

And now comes my summarized response to the past 3 pages of this thread.

Petitions are as stupid as... I don't know. Something really stupid.

The band was best when they all worked together, started going downhill around the Animals/Wall era, in my opinion.

Drugs are funny, and people like to do them because Pink Floyd is awesome to smoke to.

The Final Cut sucks.

[magicbus]

I have no interest in hearing the Final Cut at all. That's how I also felt about MLOR and The Division Bell, but I'm beginning to like most of Division Bell, and I like a few songs on MLOR.

[standard]

The Final Cut is a very good album. I know it techincally isn't Pink Floyd, because Wright is gone, but I must say it's some of their best work lyrically.

Comfortably Numb is about a time when Roger Waters performed and felt ill. He took medicine, and felt "comfortably numb" -- straight from his mouth.

[WheepingGuitar39]

remember those interviews i kept talking about and you guys kept asking where they were
i found a whole bunch of them
very very interesting stuff

http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/interviews/bnd_interviews.html

david gilmour's interviews are very interesting

[Alessandro]

The Final Cut sucks.

Holy sh!t, you think that they were going downhill when they released Animals??!! That´s one of my favorite albums, especially considering Gilmour´s guitar playing. As for The Wall, I like it a lot, but yeah, it´s one of their weakest albums.

[WheepingGuitar39]

I'm going to agree with DeusEx that their collaboration went down after Wish you were here. but Animals was still awesome, maybe not for non floyd fans who probobly can't stand 20 minute songs, but for floyd fans, and fans of david gilmour's guitar solos, WOW.
The Wall is a masterpiece. But maybe too much storyline, not enough music.
Let's not talk about Final Cut
The two albums without Waters were very very good musically, but again.. kind of lacked that Waters feeling to it.

What do you mean "non floyd fans" dont like Animals? Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and I find Animals very boring.

If a 20 minute song isn't boring it can be good. Like "Echoes", "Mountain Jam", tons of Miles Davis tunes...etc Good music is good music.

i like animals. My least favourite song on it is sheep.

[magicbus]

The only thing I don't like about Animals is how it's more complicated. Gilmour uses open tunings and other scales, I prefer he kept it simple, like every other album. I know it's minor, but it bothers me a little.

I still like it though, great songs. And don't get me wrong, Gilmour still does fantastic on it, but I really like the "blues riffs", pentatonic Gilmour.

I meant it the other way around, people who are not pink floyd fans generally do not like Animals
They will prefer things from The Wall or DSOTM
and Moaner, I agree that Sheep is also my least favorite song on Animals, I dont know what is the big hype about that song, Pigs and Dogs are better than Sheep. But it's still a good song.

[Rothmans]

Sheep just becomes tedious and a bit boring I have kinda gone off animals nowadays :/ and got more into DSOTM.

[robo2448]

I kind of feel that Dogs, Pigs, and Sheeps are all pretty much equal. Dogs is probably my favorite by a little just because of it's length.

[Rothmans]

I love the bit when he is just going Aha charade you are.

[moaner]

I love the bit when he is just going Aha charade you are.

yeah, its quite a blatant, strong message.

its like, "You are a joke, and there is nothing more to it"

[Lunch]

My favorite part of Pigs (Three Different Ones) are the lines "Hey you, Whitehouse. Aha, Charade you are."

[TerryThorne]

So I went over to my friends house today and he just bought this old double lp deal called a nice pair with PATGOD and Saucerful of secrets. I have never heard SoS before but after giving it two spins I think it might be my fave floyd album

[WheepingGuitar39]

Favorite part of Pigs... the KILLER solo at the end
W O W.
Hey, I have a live version of Pigs, im not sure if everyone has this or not
and it has 2 AMAZING solos in it
it's AWESOME
awesome awesome song
if anyone wants it just tell me



btw, does anyone know of ANY video footage of Gilmour playing Dogs OR Pigs?

[Killtacular]

Hmmm.. I don't really like SoS much at all.

[DeusExMachina]

Holy sh!t, you think that they were going downhill when they released Animals??!! That´s one of my favorite albums, especially considering Gilmour´s guitar playing. As for The Wall, I like it a lot, but yeah, it´s one of their weakest albums.
I think that The Wall > Animals. I like them both a lot, but I found Animals didn't live up to the hype. It just gets boring to me.

[MBS]

Holy sh!t, you think that they were going downhill when they released Animals??!!

They were. Roger was becoming more of the leader of the band and writing most of the material. Animals is all about Roger's views of communism, the Wall is somewhat like Roger's autobiography.

[Riva]

The Wall album is 90% Roger, 10% Syd. However, The Wall movie is 80% Roger, 20% Syd. Most of the things Geldof does in the movie, like shaving his body hair, and sitting in the chair with the cigarette burning between his fingers, are things Roger saw Syd doing.

[Grant]

I'd like to hear this killer Pigs solo, Wheeping Guitar.

[magicbus]

I agree, I absolutely love the solo at the end of Pigs. It's one of my favorite parts on Animals.

[Riva]

I'm uploading Pigs(Three Different Ones) for you, PGaF.

[WheepingGuitar39]

I'm uploading Pigs(Three Different Ones) for you, PGaF.
The live one?
It's 5-9-1977

I could try to upload it but I'm not sure I know how

[Lunch]

The riff at the end of Sheep is amazing as well.

[magicbus]

The riff at the end of Sheep is amazing as well.
I was thinking that too, when I was listening to it yesterday. It's awesome.

[Lunch]

I like listening to Dark Side after not listening to it for a very long time.

[magicbus]

I really liked Darkside the first time I heard it (I still do, obviously). It was the first time I ever heard any Floyd, and I was amazed. I remember really liking the vocals on "Time", because there were two singers. And when it hit "Any Colour You Like", I was all... :eek:

Brings back good memories.

[Lunch]

That's what it does for me. Back when I first got into Pink Floyd (as in first got Dark Side) I listened to it basically nonstop for awhile. Good times.

[Nektar]

ahhh, the Floyd thread.

Floyd at Pompeii :thumb:

Echos..the best jam ever. :)

[WheepingGuitar39]

You know what's funny.
im a HUGE floyd fan, but i always discover a new song that i never payed attention to, and that i now love

Any color you like is really powerful
felt like i snorted cocaine for 3 hours traight

[Lunch]

The part around 1:20 is ownage. I just listened to it.

[Schyma]

I was watching my recorded tape of Pink Floyd's Live 8 concert and right before "Wish You Were Here" Roger Waters mentioned Syd and how he was missing. I just couldn't help but smile knowing that they're still thinking about Syd even when it's on their last concert they'll ever play in.

NV: Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (VHS Live 8)

[magicbus]

I'm about to listen to "Any Colour You Like" now, just because of that cocaine reference.

EDIT: All of Darkside. I'll get there eventually.

[DeusExMachina]

Darkside is awesome. But The Wall is what got me started into Pink Floyd. First album I ever heard by them.

[Riva]

Pigs (Three Different Ones) (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37OMGIFFA1TOP2O1ELRV1321SV)

I really like Any Colour You Like, especially the pace, it feels apathetic. My first album was Obscured By Clouds, followed by Ummagumma. I didn't even know of DSotM until I was 14 or so.

[Adam-J]

i havent heard much pink floyd but i downloaded a live version of comfortably numb but the sound dont work on my computer which really pisses me of, also my dad has a few albums on vinal so i will try and listen to them but the only place i can do that is in the living room and people watch the tv in there

[WheepingGuitar39]

who cares
pink floyd is more important than tv.

Is this an official live version, or is it a bootleg?

[DeusExMachina]

Probably a bootleg, I don't think Pink Floyd ever released a live album that included Pigs. And Pink Floyd is definitely more important than TV.

[Alessandro]

Probably a bootleg, I don't think Pink Floyd ever released a live album that included Pigs. And Pink Floyd is definitely more important than TV.

Yeah, it´s a bootleg, I´m listening to it now, it sounds great. Gilmour is a guitar god :cool:

[WheepingGuitar39]

Is this an official live version, or is it a bootleg?
bootleg, the sound quality is decent, but NOWHERE near the sound quality a live official album of Pink Floyd would have.
but the song is AMAZING
i hope that atleast 1 animals show was recorded and they plan on releasing it
i really want to see a video performance of either dogs or pigs

[DeusExMachina]

Is there an official video of the WYWH tour? I would kill to get hold of that.

[Kingofdudes]

I got another bootleg of Pigs, the sound quality isnt as good, but it is still a good track. Ill upload it tonight.

[DeusExMachina]

Cool. I heard a really awesome bootleg of Wish You Were Here with like a 3 minute acoustic guitar solo in the beginning that was just amazing. It was on that website that streams Pink Floyd bootlegs. Does anyone have a recording of it, by any chance?

[Mr. Black]

Wish you were here... great song

[temporary]

I think that The Wall > Animals. I like them both a lot, but I found Animals didn't live up to the hype. It just gets boring to me.

I agree that The Wall is better, but not because of any problem with Animals, just because The Wall is probaly my favorite album ever.

Oh, and thanks WheepingGuitar for uploading the Pigs live thing, I'm going to dowload it now.

[Scooch]

Anyone here every watch the movie "The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story?"

[WheepingGuitar39]

Is there an official video of the WYWH tour? I would kill to get hold of that.
Yea but only for Have a Cigar
cause Shine on and Wish you were here have been remade on two official live albums which have video footage
Animals has never been remade..

KingofDudes: another one?!?! awesome! cant get enough of those pigs solos

Obi one: no problem, i just had to share this wonderful bootleg that every floyd fan MUST have with you guys

[moaner]

Anyone here every watch the movie "The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story?"

yeah, i liked it.

[DeusExMachina]

Haven't seen it. But I'd like to.

ehh i didn't like the vocals so much on that live track.

[zetabossio]

HEY guys i would like to say something , dont you think that A momentary lapse of reason and The division bell are pink floyds best albums. NO , i dont hate roger i really apreciate him but i think that those are the best albums . what do you think?.

[MBS]

Umm... I haven't heard enough of Division Bell to make judgements, but I think many of the other albums are far superior.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

HEY guys i would like to say something , dont you think that A momentary lapse of reason and The division bell are pink floyds best albums. NO , i dont hate roger i really apreciate him but i think that those are the best albums . what do you think?.

I think otherwise.

[Klander Brigade]

Has anyone ever been to the laser show? I went in April and it was amazing. The glasses they give you make it 10x better. Plus they play Wizard of Oz behind all the lasers and smoke. I'm not sure if it was exactly synced up to the music though, I was too overwhelmed. Anyone else ever been?

[Schyma]

I think you're insane but people say the same thing about me when I say Syd Barrett era Floyd is better than Roger Waters era Pink Floyd. I don't enjoy Gilmour's era Floyd at all.

Syd > Roger > David (era Floyd)

[magicbus]

I think you're insane but people say the same thing about me when I say Syd Barrett era Floyd is better than Roger Waters era Pink Floyd. I don't enjoy Gilmour's era Floyd at all.

Syd > Roger > David (era Floyd)

Isn't Gilmour's era basically everything Floyd did except for PATGOD and The Final Cut?

[Lunch]

I think by Gilmour's era he means MLoR and The Dvision Bell, and Roger's era is Saucerful to the Final Cut, I could be wrong though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Even though I prefer Gilmour to Waters, the era that Waters fronted the band was definitely their pinnacle greatness.

[WheepingGuitar39]

ehh i didn't like the vocals so much on that live track.
meh
gilmour's solo pays up for it

[magicbus]

I think by Gilmour's era he means MLoR and The Dvision Bell, and Roger's era is Saucerful to the Final Cut, I could be wrong though.

That makes more sense.

[Kingofdudes]

I think Animals - The final Cut is Rogers era. Saucerful - WYWH was a team effort in my opinion.

[Lunch]

I'd agree with you, I was just interpretting what I thought Schyma meant.

[Kingofdudes]

I'd agree with you, I was just interpretting what I thought Schyma meant.

Ahhh, I see now.


edit: pigs is coming

[WheepingGuitar39]

thats for sure
i mean
just to give an example, One of these days... Time... they have all 4 members credits
you dont see that often on Animals through Final Cut

that is the one where Roger spits on the fan, its during that song
you found on hell of a treasure
thank you for this amazing amazing amazing bootleg
now i shall listen to this

[DeusExMachina]

I think Animals - The final Cut is Rogers era. Saucerful - WYWH was a team effort in my opinion.
Agreed. Much more of a team effort. Except, even then it was mostly Waters and Gilmour.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Also agreed with Gilmour. After WYWH, Waters just slowly took over until he was basically in tota. control on The Final Cut.

[Schyma]

I think Animals - The final Cut is Rogers era. Saucerful - WYWH was a team effort in my opinion.
That would make more sense but I still consider it to be Roger's era of the Floyd. After Final Cut is where David's era began.

[Nektar]

I never payed attention to "David`s Era"...

Got to admit, Floyd , the the Final Cut... that`s when we cut the cord.

Although, I`d give a hell of alot to see that band without Waters anyway.

Never got to see any of them :confused:

Welcome to the forums. Personally, AMLOR and The Division Bell were quite a bit better than the Final Cut, especially The Division Bell.

[Kingofdudes]

Sorry magicbus, ill have to wait till tomorrow to upload the song.

[zetabossio]

I think you're insane but people say the same thing about me when I say Syd Barrett era Floyd is better than Roger Waters era Pink Floyd. I don't enjoy Gilmour's era Floyd at all.

Syd > Roger > David (era Floyd)

im not saying that i think the pink floyds best songs are :wywh , confurtubly numb , heave a cigar , hey you , when roger share the composition with david , but the albums (complete) are better AMLOR , and the division bell.
Can you tell me a song that you dont like from those albums?

[zetabossio]

I think Animals - The final Cut is Rogers era. Saucerful - WYWH was a team effort in my opinion.

why not The dark side too i thnik that is a team effort too. "if we all pull together as a team"

[temporary]

I think Animals - The final Cut is Rogers era. Saucerful - WYWH was a team effort in my opinion.

I actually think the Waters era was just The Wall and The Final Cut. Waters only entirerly wrote Pigs on the Wing (parts I and II.) All the other songs were written by all of them. I guess Waters must have written all the lyrics, though.

[WheepingGuitar39]

the song Sorrow from AMLOR is AMAZING
it's a masterpiece and one of my favorite songs.
actually im listening to it right now.
There are other good songs too on AMLOR

[DeusExMachina]

In the credits, it says Waters wrote everything entirely except for Dogs, which was a dual effort with him and Gilmour.

Zetabossio, Dark Side was written after Saucerful of Secrets and before WYWH, so that would put it in the teamwork period.

[Kingofdudes]

why not The dark side too i thnik that is a team effort too. "if we all pull together as a team"
i did include that in the "team effort" category.

Have a Cigar isnt on DSotM

Yea i watch the pulse video of sorrow atleast 5 times a day.

[DeusExMachina]

You have a pulse video? Dude, give the hook up!

[WheepingGuitar39]

I have the whole Pulse video
but it's 1.3 Gigabytes :lol:
I could try to find a place to try and upload it
yousendit? maybe
or you can download it off of Bearshare / Limewire



edit:****.. it's up to 1gig.. let me try and see if i could compress it somehow to atleast 1gigabyte

edit2:
ok so i managed to compress it.. it took 10 mins..
from 1.3 gigs to 1.28 gigs

[DeusExMachina]

if you could, that would be unbelievably awesome. But, if it's going to be a hassle, don't worry about it, I can always wait for the DVD.

[WheepingGuitar39]

no.. you cant wait for the dvd
which btw has been postpoened again to "early next year"

[DeusExMachina]

You rock.

Yeah, I know the DVD will never come out. That was my subtle little hint that you should upload it.

[standard]

Anyone read the book Nick Mason wrote?

Any good?

[temporary]

You rock.

Yeah, I know the DVD will never come out. That was my subtle little hint that you should upload it.

I think theres a VHS. I have Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb from Pulse, courtasy of Limewire, but I've had trouble finding any others.

[DeusExMachina]

There is a VHS, but I can't watch VHS tapes on my computer.

I'd use Limewire, but I hate P2P services. I just hate them.

[Kurtz]

Anyone read the book Nick Mason wrote?

Any good?
What's it called?

[DeusExMachina]

Inside Out, or something like that. I heard good things.

[WheepingGuitar39]

Haha, good stuff DeusEx :thumb:
Ok, tommorow ill be at my house on MY computer where I'm sure I have a program that can zip the video into 2 different files, that should let me put the video on 2 links on you send it.com
then you just have to download both files and unzip and voila
it'll take a while to upload, and a while to download for you guys but hey
this is a M U S T have
so be just a bit more patient youll get your complete pulse concert , live in earl's court.

[magicbus]

I think we should talk in here more. This is the only place I have to discuss Pink Floyd with other people who love them, and boy, do I love them.

I haven't read the Nick Mason book, but I do have "A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey". I have yet to finish it, but it's very detailed so far.

[Kingofdudes]

Ive skimmed through the book, the pictures alone are worth it :D

[Big_Griff]

any of guys ever trip out listenin to DSoTM or The Wall lol? Especially if youve just had sumthin to help u trip

[ATM]

I just learned how to play Fearless :)

Trip to what? Mushrooms, LSA, LSD, Mescaline, Weed, X, Bars what?!?!

....but I.....ahh...don't do drugs so......nevermind.

A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey is really a great read. Unfortunately, it only goes up to 1991, but it's still a very very good read.

[temporary]

I just learned how to play Fearless :)

Cool!

On the topic of Inside Out, I heard that it was pretty good, but failed to show the whole warts and all story. I heard that Mason said almost nothing about Syd's breakdown, which is probably the part of Pink Floyd's history I'd like to know more about the most... Ah well, I'll probably still read it anyways.

[magicbus]

Was Fearless hard to learn? I really want to learn some more songs off Meddle, because I absolutely love that album.

Not at all. It was actually very simple.

[Purple Floyd]

So I was at National Guitar Workshop this past week, and my Pink Floyd knowledge came in use. At one of the nightly concerts, they were asking the audience some music trivia.

One of the questions was "Who sang on the song One of These Days?

Out of around 400 people my hand went straight up and I shouted Nick Mason, winning a sparkly guitar strap. Too bad I can't use it since the glitter gets everywhere.

One of the questions was "Who sang on the song One of These Days?

Out of around 400 people my hand went straight up and I shouted Nick Mason, winning a sparkly guitar strap. Too bad I can't use it since the glitter gets everywhere.

:cool: That's sweet, I love being able to put my Floyd knowledge to use.

I think I'm going to try learning Fearless too.

[DeusExMachina]

Cool!

On the topic of Inside Out, I heard that it was pretty good, but failed to show the whole warts and all story. I heard that Mason said almost nothing about Syd's breakdown, which is probably the part of Pink Floyd's history I'd like to know more about the most... Ah well, I'll probably still read it anyways.
Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey talks quite a bit about Syd's breakdown, definitely a good read.

I think I'm going to learn Fearless now too.

[ATM]

I started a trend :lol:

[moaner]

Was Fearless hard to learn? I really want to learn some more songs off Meddle, because I absolutely love that album.

learn echoes, and we can feel all superior together.

[WheepingGuitar39]

fearless? soundsl ike a great idea
i didnt think of that
been trying to play alot of floyd songs

[magicbus]

learn echoes, and we can feel all superior together.
It's hard to stay focused. Once I hit the verse section, I usually just start playing whatever. I'll have to really try to focus on his licks.

[DeusExMachina]

learn echoes, and we can feel all superior together.
Bleh. Takes too much effort. Plus, I only have 21 frets.

[Scooch]

Anyone read the book Nick Mason wrote?

Any good?

A+

A great read full of lots of interesting facts with many cool pictures. The only Downside is that it only touches on Syd's departure.

[DeusExMachina]

I should get it (Nick Mason's book). I'll do that as soon as I have enough money.

[temporary]

Bleh. Takes too much effort. Plus, I only have 21 frets.

How many did Gilmour use on that song?

I'm going to be different and try to learn Pillow of Winds! ;)

[maxwell_1888]

I managed to download a pretty good version of the whole PULSE concert, which clocks in at about 2.32Gb. The files are so that you can burn them onto DVD and watch on your DVD player. Unfortunately I can't do that so I just watch it in PowerDVD. :D

[Purple Floyd]

I'll learn Seamus!

i'm having trouble uploading 1.3gig

[maxwell_1888]

try uploading 2.3lol

anyway
TODAY IS THE DAY I UPLOAD THIS **** CONCERT
The 1.3Gb one is awful compared to this version. The only bad thing about the 2.32Gb one is some of the intense blue lights on a couple of songs means the band members aren't shown clearly enough. Apart from that it's great.

[WheepingGuitar39]

the 1.3g is still pretty good
but you gotta wait for the real dvd for it's actual awesomeness

ok so im putting the concert in two .rar files
you'll need winrar to unzip it

[magicbus]

That computer is pretty awesome.

[WheepingGuitar39]

it looks mean

ok it took me an hour but i zipped the concert into 2 files
im going to upload it on yousendit.com now
should take about an hour for each file
but downloading and unzipping will take only a fraction of that time
so dont worry :thumb:

whoever wants me to send them the concert ill send it by MSN it's way faster
give me your msn and i will add you and ill send it
It took about 2 hours last time i did it but atleast you can see the progress

[BigTrav415]

Ok, I just read through about twenty pages to catch up, and now I've forgotten all the things I was going to say. Well, let's see...

Oh yeah, I couldn't sleep one night and at around 2:00 AM I was just sitting in ed listening to a classic rock radio station (only station I listen to 'round here) and after some song was over it played one of those recordings like radio stations do sometimes like "If it's Pink Floyd, *sfx* it's gotta be 106.1 RDU", so I was thinking "Cool, WYWH, Comfortably Numb, Brain Damage/Eclipse, etc.", since those are the Floyd songs they play the most on 106.1. Well, it started out with wind noises, then that heavy-*** bass, and I was like "****, it's One of These Days! Awesome!"

Then when it was over, the DJ came on and was like "Yeah, you know, it's 2:00 in the morning, all the suits are asleep, so I thought I'd play you some good Floyd that we don't play much, that's off Meddle, which was released in 1971, which is also known for Echoes, which I probably won't get to play fully on here, you fans know what I mean" I couldn't believe it, a DJ that actually liked him some real Floyd :)

Oh... and... God, I forgot what else I was gonna say. On Rhapsody, it shows Pink Floyd s No. 13 in Top Artists, above 50 Cent :amaze: That's because of the post-Live 8 boom of course, I have a whole blog entry on that already, so I'll digress...

Well, I can't remember anything else, so later for now.

he used his doubvle humbucker 24 fret for solos 2+3 i believe.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Man, Meddle is so underrated. It's a very short album, but EVERY song is great on it.

[elitechewbacca]

a few months ago a band called the "Pink Floyd Expirience" came to my city they were awesome if you shut your eyes they sounded exactly like the reall thing and the comfortably numb solo was awesome the guy nailed and at live 8 that was awesome i just wanna give a clap to them and the person who had the flag "the pigs have flown pink floyd are playing again" yeah

the crap thing is like pink floyd were popular liek 20 years before i was born haha

[maxwell_1888]

Man, Meddle is so underrated. It's a very short album, but EVERY song is great on it.
It's actually longer than most Floyd studio albums (Dark Side, Obscured, TFC, WYWH, Animals, ASOS, TPATGOD)

I've been into the Wall alot lately, after finally buying the DVD. Goodbye Blue Sky is the most beautiful song i've ever heard.

[thunderzstruck]

I never saw the attraction much in that song. :-/

I don't know why, I love 'Is there anybody out there?'

GOod album though

Dave's vocals are much more beautiful on The Thin Ice and Mother.

[RNR]

It's more Creepy then than beautiful, I think. Hey You is definitly the most beautiful song on there.

edit: actually that's more creepy as well :/

That's a creepy album.

[thunderzstruck]

The Thin Ice is an awesome song

[PinkFloyd]

^Well.... :C

[Floydfanatic]

i just can't imagine pink floyd cashing in on the whole "reuniun tour".

and i can go on about how i wouldn't want them to join in with bands i love, like the pixies. i was so dissapointed when the pixies cashed in on their reuniun. i thought they were true originals i thought they were punk and art and noise all in one.

but i'm just a stubborn indie kid i guess :( it's not that i care if they do it, but i would lose a lot of respect for them as artists

[PinkFloyd]

I'd still think they were great because it doesn't change the work they did before, but I agree reunion tours are lame. It's ever worse when they get exicited with the tour and try releasing another single or studio album. Look at Motley Crue. :lol: :C

[elitechewbacca]

Dave's vocals are much more beautiful on The Thin Ice and Mother.

yeah dave still has his voice going strong but as roger waters has gotten older his voice has lost its amazing touch on songs liek one of my turns

[Floydfanatic]

motely crue tsk tsk.. it's funny because i didn't even know they really had fans untill they went on their reunion tour.

like i don't think pink floyd would ever just blatantly sell out, i think they will always play like pink floyd, i cant even picture them sounding any different then themselves... but i'm a stubborn artist, and it just seems like a reunion tour isn't about art at all

band shirts are lame, seeming cool because of your music tastes is even more lame

[Kingofdudes]

band shirts are lame
Im actually a big fan of them. I think I got 6 Pink Floyd shirts at the moment

[Floydfanatic]

it's just my oppinion i guess, all my friends sport the concert t's and band t's every day...

"music is my life but music is not my personality" is just how i feel about it

there's a difference between wanting to do something with your life musically, like if music is my life i'll be trying my hardest to get some sort of music related job or keep playing as long as i can. socially though i'd rather not have anything socially to do with music, i don't want to talk about it, i almost wihs i could be a buckethead, that way i wouldn't be a musician around my peers but i would be to myself.

it jsut seems like in my area being a musician is a total drag sort of in the way that that's the first thing everyone thinks when they see me, "he's a good guitarist i've heard" i don't think anyone really knows who i am besides one or two people... i used to wear band t shirts but then people used to always say, oh your cool you like that band... which=lamezor to the max... i was so embarassed when people would say that that i just was like wtfzor why do i even wear these lame shirts. i mean if you dig people giving you attention for your music tastes go ahead... but uh when girls go omg you like pink floyd your hot! um ... you can figure out the rest

"music is my life, not my personality" it sort of makes sense, it was the best way to express what i was trying to say

[Floydfanatic]

He is making it sound like people that wear band shirts are shallow :rolleyes:
it's true fool

haha not shallow, just lame, i used to do it, then i realized wait.. i don't wanna pay thirty bucks for some lame *** band t shirt, but then after that i was like ono i'll be unfashionable!!! so i went to the store and bought like fifty journey shirts

[thunderzstruck]

okfine

so um now it's my goal in life to jsut uh piss off everyone by making fun of all their lame bands even though that's uber hypocritical in it'self i don't even give a ****, and making fun of metal kids to their virtual faces

[PinkFloyd]

Ok heres a story kiddies.

It was 2 years ago and I was 15 or something. I wore a Nirvana shirt on a field trip because I like Nirvana. The shirt had a picture of Kurt Cobain on it. Then these two chicks come up to me and ones like "Omg I love Chris Cobain!". I then gave a dirty look and walked away. Little did I know that 2 months later the school would be infested with kids wearing band shirts.

I think using something as beautiful as music as a mere object to obtain a higher social status is apauling. An insult to music itself. I own a few band shirts and wear them from time to time but it IS only because I am a true fan of the band I am advertising. Lucky for me I own an Animals shirt so I can atleast diferentiate myself from the 20 other kids with Darkside shirts. The moral of the story is I dont fuking know.... :C :C :C

[PinkFloyd]

Floydfanatic is a cool guy. :C

They sell Darkside shirts at Walmart these days :lol:

floyd fanatic, you dont know me, so dont even think everyone wears band shirts for social reasons. I like to collect band shirts, it doesnt make me a music social whore. I rant about Pink floyd enough so that everyone knows i love them, even without the shirts. o shi, discussing music is lame.

[PinkFloyd]

ahahah no wonder, fukers are too lazy to go downtown to get them :lol:

[Schyma]

Kingofdudes: Isn't Guitarguy your brother? If he is can you ask why he doesn't post anymore?

It's weird I'm know as the biggest music fanatic amung my friends and I have like no shirts related to music. (except a few that I don't even wear)

I disagree. The reason I would ware a Pink Floyd shirt would be because I love their art work. A freind of me isn't much of a Pink Floyd fan (he likes them, but not much) but has a Pink Floyd shirt because he likes the artwork.

What does piss me off is the hundred people who ware Dark Side of the Moon shirts who upon asking them their favorite song they respond: we don't need no education.

WheepingGuitar: That sucks... I guess Yousendit.com is bad.

[PinkFloyd]

^The artwork? Jeez, you know there are thousands of shirts dedicated to good artwork? Why must they pick Floyd shirts. :C

[PinkFloyd]

Same here. They davle into Time and Wish You Were Here though... yeah that still sucks. I would love them to crank up some Empty Spaces. :C

[DeusExMachina]

Why do you assume that people wearing band t-shirts are doing it for social status? I wear them because I like them. If I wanted social status, I would have to stop wearing my music t-shirts (all the guys here listen to Metallica and Pantera, all the girls listen to John Mayer). Some people like to wear them, some people don't, but you certainly shouldn't judge people based on whether or not they wear a band t-shirts.

NP: the album Wish You Were Here... on the piano... because I have all the sheet music for it. Pwnage.

[RNR]

Bleh, only wear a Pink Floyd shirt if you're a fan of their music. Anything else is being a poser bitch whore omgomg.

Yea this guy in my english class last year had a pink floyd shirt
so i go, hey you like pink floyd? you know.. to start a floyd convo

i think he spent a couple of weeks in the hospital once i was through with him
and not long after this guy in my math class i told him i like pink floyd, and he's like.. so your like a stoner?
he joined the other retard in the hospital

idiots
oh and my school is filled with retards who dont know anything about music and only know Led Zeppelin cause everyone else knows Led Zeppelin.
Seems like Stairway to Heaven is the classic rock newb's anthem.
WAAAAY too many posers at my school.

Not everyone is a huge fan of Floyd, or knowledgable in music. Sure, we can laugh at them, but saying you landed them in hospital is just foolish.

I played all of the PF songs I have on my computer non-stop yesterday. :D

they landed in my imaginary hospital

Ahh. that makes more sense. When you said hospital, I was thinking you were being serious, and that was a little creepy.

[Purple Floyd]

My dad just brought me home a Giomour t-shirt today. It's pretty sweet, except for it's huge. It says medium but it's along the lines of an XXL.

And DeusEx, WYWH on the piano is super easy, and sounds kick ***. I transposed the first CN solo on my keyboard, and it just sounds badass; I use the pitch bender for all of the bends. I wish I could record it.

Other great songs to play on the piano are Hey You, Stop, and GGITS.

[Purple Floyd]

And about posers...

I overheard this fat chick in one of my classes say "Led Zeppelin sucks, they only have one good song, and Jimmy Plants vocals suck."

The ironic part is her obese followers constantly fight over which member member of Simple Plan they're going to marry.

Ahh. that makes more sense. When you said hospital, I was thinking you were being serious, and that was a little creepy.
so none of you were on msn lol
i emailed yousendit, and i got a reply from what seemed to me to be an ourang outang.
for some reason now it keeps saying that it's been blocked by the recipient (which would be me.. isent it to my own email), or it exceeded bandwith.. but no one has been able to download from it

im going to attempt again tonight.
hopefully it'll work this time.

And about posers...

HAHAHAHAHAHA
I bet she overheard a conversation between musically literate people and tried to be cool and say what they said but failed horribly.
Oh well. And I bet that "good" song is the only song from Zepp she's ever heard.

and Plants vocals WITH Zeppelin were a bit retarded
Plants vocals Solo, are pretty **** good. I heard a couple of Plant's solo songs, I was impressed.

Hey.. is it just me or do alot of musicians from England know how to speak french?
(My uncle was security guard at the pulse show in montreal, and had a conversation with David Gilmour in french.)
Gilmour and Waters have french songs.
Robert Plant spoke in french on a TV Show.

cool stuff

My dad just brought me home a Giomour t-shirt today. It's pretty sweet, except for it's huge. It says medium but it's along the lines of an XXL.

And DeusEx, WYWH on the piano is super easy, and sounds kick ***. I transposed the first CN solo on my keyboard, and it just sounds badass; I use the pitch bender for all of the bends. I wish I could record it.

Other great songs to play on the piano are Hey You, Stop, and GGITS.
I'm learning SOYCD on the piano right now. The sheet music has the first guitar solo transcribed, it's awesome.

[Lunch]

I gave up getting annoyed at those kids. I honestly don't care what they wear to school. I wear a Led Zeppelin shirt, and everyone that knows me knows I'm a real fan of the band, so I don't really care what other people think.

There is no point in getting annoyed at "posers".

Eclipse


All that you touch and all that you see
all that you taste, all you feel


These lines deal with the physical things that affect people in life.


and all that you love and all that you hate
all you distrust, all you save
and all that you give and all that you deal
and all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal


These lines deal with the emotions we feel in day to day life. It also highlights the dog-eat-dog world that drives people to madness.


and all you create and all you destroy
and all that you do and all that you say
and all that you eat and everyone you meet
and all that you slight and everyone you fight


Basically, this part refers to the life you have built for yourself. You’ve created things, demolished things, everything you have done to make yourself into the person you are today (that is, a madman). All the insults you given, all the fights you’ve had, your acquaintances and your meals, etc. all have amounted to something in this person you’ve created.


and all that is now and all that is gone
and all that's to come and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon


This is the most important sequence in the song. Everything that has ever happened to you, everything that will ever happen to you, everything you are doing right now, all this has seemed to be what you needed to do. You’ve done everything a sane person can, and should be happy with your life. The only problem? You’re insane.

Nice of you to get that in.

In all serious, nice job.

Haha, yeah. Next up, WYWH. Who was supposed to do Welcome To The Machine?

[Lunch]

I don't know, we were working on that like a year ago.

[Riva]

Haha, remember how we were all intent on it, but we derailed it to do the Thread Cover comp that never happened for us? :lol:

[Lunch]

Yea, here in the Floyd thread we have lots of great ideas and little follow-up on them.

But a lot of people did work on their lyrical analysis.

[RNR]

This thread needs to cover The Wall!


Of course that would take a really long time and I dun feel like it or have recording gear.
