Man that sucks, you mean your internet in your home is capped?

Yeah, im form SA aswell.

Yeah, well our stupid isp (cough*monopoly*cough) only caters with 3 gb cap.

They also happen to own the entire telecommunications-infrastructure in SA.

/cue David and Goliath battle sequence now! :evil:

But on a related note, ive really gotten into Meddle and Animals thesedays. My favourites are One Of These Days, Fearless, Sheep and Dogs.

anywayz

[thickasabrick]

Lately I've been listening to Saucerful of Secrets quite a bit. I also bought The Wall on casette for my car (I'm too cool for a CD player), so I've also been listening to that a lot when I drive.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

everyday to school in the car is the wall.


Its getting quite scary.....

[Scooch]

That concert would have been amazing to have gone to. It kills me to know I will never see the Floyd.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

How far is the drive?

Empty Spaces and the Trial really freak me out

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Empty Spaces and the Trial really freak me out

The Trial may be one of the strangest rock songs ever. It really does take the term "rock opera" literally. I like it a lot though.

[LedZeppFan83]

- Yea, Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands ever! I hope the tour again, like ppl are saying. I have all the original albums with Rodger Waters. Theyre very classic and great 2 listen 2 high.

I hope this is sarcasm.

about what?

[Six Foot Revolver]

I hate how everyone always comes in here and talks about drugs. I can see why but it still annoys me a helluva lot.

[MBS]

Seriously, you don't have to be high to enjoy Pink Floyd, but I've seen so many people come in this thread and say they're great to listen to while high.

[zetabossio]

i hear PF when i woke up. while im eating , while im doing my homework.so i dont listen just when im high but listening PF high is a really great experience.I know what you mean "six foot revolver" and "mister blue sky". sorry if i didnt express myself right.

[zetabossio]

i know that nowone "feels the way i do" jaja but my best PF album is THE DIVISION BELL. I hear it all the time and its not as depresive as ROGER s era.
AFTER I HEAR TDB I WANT TO LIVE BUT AFTER I HEAR THE WALL . :upset: :upset:

BEST PF SONG:CONFURTUBLY NUMB I GUESS

[PinkFloyd]

meh c numb is good but how is it the best? Minus the epic guitar solo, it's just another **** good floyd song, and there are many many **** good floyd songs.

[Kingofdudes]

I am a CN solo whore.

I've been digging The Final Cut lately. My favorite songs are "The Final Cut", "Not Now John", and "The Gunner's Dream".

[BigTrav415]

That literally sounds EXACTLY like another post in this thread I read a while back. I don't think that you copied it, that's just worded almost exactly like the other one.

Oh, and PinkFloyd, this is from a while back, but didn't your user title come from "When The Tigers Broke Free"? I didn't check, I'm just guessig off the top of my head.

[PinkFloyd]

I own Ummagumma, Meddle, Darkside, WYWH, Animals, The Wall, and after hearing all of those, I still keep comming back to play The Final Cut. It's really a beautiful album. I suggest you check into "Two Suns in the Sunset" and "Post War Dreams" for some other great songs on The Final Cut.

I will record a version of the 2nd Cnumb solo shortly, I think I have it dead on.

Both good songs aswell. Have you read Inside Out?

Anyone else that is a CN whore(like me), keep an eye out for my thread in a couple days.

Im gonna post all my bootlegs/covers/etc of it.

[PinkFloyd]

Hmmm not yet but it rings a bell. Is that Mason's new book? I could be wrong.

[Kingofdudes]

Yes it is. It has kept me company in office work for the past few days. All we usually hear about is David's or Roger's view on what happened in the band, but his view on things is very interesting.

[PinkFloyd]

Sounds good, I will probably end up reading it when I fall *** backwards into a the book which I know will happen sometime.

[magicbus]

I saw the book in a store but it was too expensive to buy at the time. I did like the photo of the guys with their football team, though.

I still haven't finished "A Saucerful of Secrets" though. I read a few chapters in, and put it down for a while.

[DeusExMachina]

The Gunner's Dream is one of the only songs on The Final Cut that I really feel stands up to their other works. That sax solo... orgasmic.

[PinkFloyd]

^I love the way it matches Roger's voice on the first note.

[temporary]

Both good songs aswell. Have you read Inside Out?

Sweet!

As far as Inside Out goes, I've heard it doesn't touch on Syd much, and so I'm not that interested in reading it... I'm not much of a fan of Syd's music, but I'd really like to know more about him.

[Mr. Black]

see the internet if there is a book on him or not | I really like the playing on 'wish you where here' I was learning it earlier, thanks to MXTabs

[DeusExMachina]

^I love the way it matches Roger's voice on the first note.
Yeah! That's so well done. I love it.

[MBS]

I still haven't finished "A Saucerful of Secrets" though. I read a few chapters in, and put it down for a while.

I finished it a while back, it was a really interesting read, especially the last bit.

[Mr. Black]

Has anyone heard The Division Bell, Very intresting album

[Shazzam]

see the internet if there is a book on him or not | I really like the playing on 'wish you where here' I was learning it earlier, thanks to MXTabs


Yeah, that's probably my favorite song to play on acoustic. Not just because it sounds awesome, but because it feels nice to play.

[Prince of Darkness]

After listening to Animals for a day, it is now my favorite album at the moment. i feel proud to say that Pink Floyd comes second on my top 5 list:

Tool
Pink Floyd
Opeth
Mars Volta
Dream Theater

What do ya think about that list?

[MBS]

With a 12 string, it sounds 10101000 gajillion times better.

Minus the solos and everything, but the rhythmn part sounds great with a 12 string.

[Prince of Darkness]

on a rating 1 to 10, what would you guys give Inside Out?

[Kingofdudes]

8/10

I just finished it today in office work.

[Prince of Darkness]

What does it handle about mostly?

[Scooch]

Nick Mason's view on the band, don't buy it if you're only buying it to find out what happened with Syd because it doesn't really get into much detail. Great book I'd say 9/10

[Prince of Darkness]

I don't really want to find out about Syd. I'm more interrested in finding out more about the band's amazing career.

My one friend's brother has the book, but he doesn't let it leave his room.

I have a Pink Floyd book, "Pink Floyd, The Visual Documentary" by Miles and Andy Mabbet. I'd give it a 7/10. It's good, but it's like a giant calander. It has all the dates in of tours and CD releases. I would've liked a bit more written history. Do you think I should go for Inside Out If I want more Written history?

[_HiGhVoLtAgE_]

i heard that floyd was going on tour after live 8 is it true?

[PinkFloyd]

^they were offered but declined.

[Prince of Darkness]

Weren't they offered like 100million pounds to go on tour again. That's crazy. Turning down that much. but then again, they already are so **** rich.

[BigTrav415]

Yes sir, you seem to know your PF.

Funny thing in my grad year book, we got a chance to post a grad blurb and all. The only thing I wrote was "in the form of a scroll..." :C

I signed most of my friend's yearbooks with Pink Floyd lyrics :[) (<= I think that's a better mustache-man, but feel free to keep using yours)

I've been obcessing over Meddle recently. Fearless is such an awesome song, I can't believe I'd never heard it before. That crescendo guitar riff is so uplifting, it really makes me feel better :p I assume everyone heard the oh-so-familiar ping after "in my own way", when I heard it I had to rewind to make sure I heard it. Floyd sure had a weird way of putting together their songs...

Oh, by the way, there's a huge concert coming up this Saturday in Raliegh at Lincoln Theatre (a bar/stage) with 8 classic rock tribute bands, including Floyd (Floydian Slip). I can't wait :thumb:

EDIT: 222nd post WOOT!!1! *cries because has no life*

[Flaminghotchino]

Yeah that ascending guitar riff in fearless can't help but make you feel good.

Before I came to this thread I always thought meddle was really underated.. It's nice to see so many people that are aware of its greatnesss. For a very limited while I thought it might be my favorite Pink Floyd album, its still a very great record but I really only loved it that much because it was so fresh and new.

I still have yet to hear, FINAL CUT, ATOM HEART MOTHER, MORE, and OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. I could dl some tracks off of them...but I like to listen to PF albums in there entirety..

[PinkFloyd]

That gets too complicated, all popular faces like : P , : D contain and colon and a letter capped. So : C is the logical next step to provide an owange mustashe man. You can keep yours and I'll keep mine, then we will see which moustashe man lives and which moustashe man dies....... :C

I would recommend The Final Cut release version which also includes "When the Tigers Broke Free". It fits into the album perfectly and everything, it's not one of the awkward collabs where they toss a bunch of songs together (ahem..echoes...ahem). Good album too if you like the Waters post wall stuff.

[WelcomeToTheMachine]

first post :) well anyway, Ive been on a MAjOR floyd craze lately and i was wondering if any of you guys had more bootlegs to upload,id be realy grateful, ill trade you some of my PF boots if you want i have around 10-11 of them.

on a different note, whats your favorite song off animals? (ive been in a major animals mood lately)

[thickasabrick]

Meddle is one of my favouites. I wish it were longer though, it would have been cooler if they had more songs...and I don't often say that about Pink Floyd albums. For some reason Meddle just doesn't seem quite complete, it has a perfect beginning and end, and it doesn't have any bad songs, but I'd like maybe two more songs in the middle.

[DeusExMachina]

Meddle is amazing. Pillow of Winds and Fearless are just unbelievable.

[Kingofdudes]

I don't really want to find out about Syd. I'm more interrested in finding out more about the band's amazing career.

My one friend's brother has the book, but he doesn't let it leave his room.

You will probably like it then. It has a lot of details about pre Floyd, Floyd(get it). He also talks a lot about the people behind Pink Floyd.

[BigTrav415]

It is ON BITCH!!1 RAWR!!!
... :lol:


On a more serious note, I think I have just lost any remaining respect for Roger Waters. I happened to be browsing through a magazine section just a short while ago, and I happened upon Rolling Stone, and when I opened it up, I saw an interview with Roger Waters. ""Gee whilakers!" I thought to myself, expecting a good fluffy interview about what a good time he had at Live 8, and how SURPRISE! Pink Floyd is going to have a reunion tour, with free admittance, and their first stop will be in Rocky Mount, NC. And something about pigs flying on a cold day in Wisconsin...

Anyway, what I got was definitely NOT a fluffy interview, and definitely NO free autographed copies of The Wall and backstage passes to the first 1,000 people into the concert. Waters proceeded to pretty much thoroughly tear Gilmour's **** off in a completely uncalled for (and I'm sure bull****) claim that Gilmour (and Rick Wright :confused: ) were "insecure, and constantly told him that he sang off-tune and played bass badly". Oh sure, you dick, Rick trampled on you, thats why you kicked him out of the band for not doing exactly your bidding to the letter. Oh, and apparantly the reason they weren't having a tour was because "I decided to just roll over if we had an argument during the recital for Live 8. I'm not gonna ****ing roll over for an entire ****ing tour" (yes, he said **** more than Zakk Wylde on a bender)

He proceeded to insult the post-himself Floyd by saying "Gilmour had turned Pink Floyd into a brand name, doing crap tour after tour in order to rake money" He had past insinuated that the post-himself Floyd was just a Gilmour solo project. Oh, really? What the hell do you call The Wall and The Final Cut? And anyways, last I checked, Nick and Rick were having a jolly good time with Gilmour fronting the band, unlike... well, you know where I'm going with all of this. What I'm trying to say is that Waters is an egotistical megalomaniacal ******* who needs to either forgive and forget the past and join Floyd again, or shut the hell up and leave them alone. It's not your band anyore, you gave it up (and, might I add, pulled the "if I can't have it, noone can!" child-like tantrum that almost made Gimour, Mason, and Wright not be able to be Floyd anymore) He may be a lyrical genius, but he's still a prick.

Please address all flames to: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC
And no, those aren't exact quotes, I was paraphrasing. But if you read the interview, you can only agree that's what he was saying.

[Kingofdudes]

If Gilmour was in it for the money, why did he donate a lot of the profits to charity?

^^^more or less me thinking out loud

[PinkFloyd]

^Big Trav is disagree. Gilmour went on record saying that a big misconception of the public was the The Wall was a Water solo project. He claimed it wasn't. And Wright got kicked out of Floyd for many reasons. Mainly because he refused numerous times to come to the studio and record, and while Waters was recording material, Wright was in Greece on vacation. There's more detph to his arugments and its all too complicated to judge him IMO.

On a lighter note... :C

[Reywas]

I can't believe Roger could screw Floyd like that.

[WheepingGuitar39]

Soemthing must of happened, another disagreement or something
Because I remember an early interview where he said he really enjoyed Live 8 and wouldnt mind making a new album and going on tour with the Floyd again.
It was all lovely.
Gilmour was interviewed at the same time, and said he is through with Floyd and Live8 was the LAST time.

[Reywas]

This is some info I found about that concert in 1977 you might find useful

With huge thanks to Wray Ellis, we have the pleasure in sharing with you his exclusive, unpublished pictures and memories of that fateful day in July 1977, when the Floyd hit Montreal's Olympic Stadium, when a fan was at the receiving end of a very unlikely Roger Waters souvenir, and a number of bricks were cemented into a particular Wall.

In July of 1977, I was 19 and already a seasoned Pink Floyd fan. When I spotted an ad for a bus charter to see Pink Floyd live in Montreal, I rushed to buy a ticket. I was studying photography in college so I decided to take my camera and make it a journalistic endeavor. I’d seen them before in Hamilton (1975) and I thought I knew what to expect. But when we arrived at Olympic Stadium, I realized that this show would be in a whole new league.
I snuck off the main pathway, gestured my way past a French-speaking security guard and found my way onto the field. Within seconds, I was at the foot of the stage with a completely unobstructed view. I thought I’d be with other photographers but I saw none. On my way through the crowd, I did see a guy wearing a large reel-to-reel tape recorder. It was a home deck modified with a battery pack and a neck strap. Two microphones poked out from his ball cap. At the time, I thought he must be some kind of nut. Today, I’d like to shake his hand.
I felt energized by the huge, excited crowd. At one point, we noticed a person standing high above the field on the rim of the roof. That must have been a thrilling sight! Right on time, the lights went down and Pink Floyd was on the stage.

Sheep: As Roger Waters* began the signature bass intro, David Gilmour strapped on a pre-‘71, all-black Strat with white knobs and 2 white pick-ups. (A black pick-up was installed at the bridge position). I was surprised to see an extra player on stage. Snowy White, so my program said, played a black, 3 pick-up Les Paul. A fair player, Snowy added background under David’s crunchy solos. When the song finished, the first roar from the assembled 85-90,000 attendees was startling.
( * Thanks to Bjorn Riis (www.gilmourish.com) who wrote to say he'd read that on this tour, the bass player on Sheep was Snowy - not Roger. After checking my negatives I found that the very first shots I took at this show do indeed show Snowy playing bass so he's quite right. Thanks Bjorn - and sorry for the mix-up.)

Pigs On The Wing (Part 1): Roger doffed his signature Precision bass and put on headphones and an Ovation acoustic guitar. The crowd was a bit large for such a change in dynamics and there were whistles and shouts throughout the tune. Fighting feedback and constant shouting, he softly muddled through.

Dogs: During that echoing, "Stone...stone...stone...", in the upper corners of the stage, consumer goods and people slowly inflated... an obese, pin-striped man and the front end of a Cadillac slowly puffed out. When the music came back in, the car hood opened up and inflated snakes burst out and hung down grotesquely. The crowd went nuts.

Pigs On The Wing (Part 2): Again with headphones and his acoustic, Roger attempted to have a quiet moment with 90,000 of his closest friends. He tried several times to start but the din was unrelenting. When someone at the back let off a barrage of firecrackers, he lost it. He stopped and demanded that they go outside to let off their fireworks because people wanted to hear his tune. "I want to hear it", he concluded. The audience cheered in loud approval and the song resumed without further interruption.

Pigs (3 Different Ones): I was surprised when Roger picked up a black and white Strat and Snowy switched to bass. Of the four songs they’d played so far, Roger played bass on only one of them. The fireworks seemed to subside and a pig floated overhead as David played some of the best solos I’ve ever heard him play. They really burned during that tune! As the song wound down, and they were doing a quiet vamp, Roger became... demonic. He called into the audience and pointed at a kid somewhere off to my right - just in front of him. He called the kid up to the stage, like you would a dog. "C’mon boy... come back... all is forgiven... just a bit further... there’s a good boy..." I could see an exuberant teenager climb over the barricade and with the help of a roadie, he was lifted up to the edge of the stage. I’m sure he thought he was going to meet his idol... until Mr. Waters let fly with a wad of spit that was as remarkable for its volume as it was for its accuracy. "Sch-plaugh" - right in the kid’s face! Dazed, the kid was tossed, like garbage, back over the bars into the darkness. The song ended, the band retired for a 20-minute break and I was left trying to process what I had just seen.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 1-5): This is my favourite tune of theirs so I was taking pictures like crazy here. David was playing a tobacco-burst Telecaster. It started off a bit shakily as David seemed a bit distracted and his playing suffered - briefly. I started to appreciate Snowy White a lot more during this song because he added some beautiful fills behind David’s soloing.

Welcome To The Machine: Pretty much like the record.

Have A Cigar: Not a highlight. David played rhythm and Snowy provided the solos, which tended to be fast, but extremely repetitive.

Wish You Were Here: The intro was cool. Next to Nick’s drum kit, there was a transistor radio mounted with a microphone pointed into its speaker. Nick twisted the dial and stopped at local stations that were playing music he knew we’d hate. He stopped on Andrew Gold’s then-ubiquitous "Lonely Boy" and everyone booed. When he moved onto a Dinah Shore hit from yesteryear, suddenly "Lonely Boy" wasn’t so bad. Snowy played rhythm on an Ovation 12-string acoustic and David soloed on the Strat. David also attempted some vocal showmanship on a certain phrase but it came out rather badly.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9): This tune was both great and terrible. When David was on the steel guitar, he kept losing his place and had to regroup. Roger even made mention of this when he sang "Nobody knows where we are..." and then he was overcome with uncontrollable laughter and could hardly complete the lyric. It got better here though as some of the best moments for me happened with David belting out a wicked, extended solo. It was the last official song of the night. As it ended, the house lights came on and ninety thousand people immediately began to demand "more!"

Money: After about 10 minutes, they returned to the sounds of coins and a cash register - which sent the audience into spasms. The house lights stayed on for the duration of the show. By this time, even the outwardly tranquil David Gilmour seemed irritated. The rear screen projector didn’t come on until well into the second verse. When it did come on, it caused spontaneous cheers, and an indignant, "It’s about time!" from Mr. G.


Us & Them: (Second encore) While the crowd could accurately be described as a "beast", it was more noisy than dangerous. It was a huge party atmosphere - but they wanted more. Cries of "’Ostie - Pink Floy!!" came from the locals. Maybe this was misinterpreted because when they finally returned, Roger said they’d do a quiet one so they could "end this thing peacefully". (Never at any time did I see anything threatening, nor did I ever feel threatened - and I was right in the thick of it!) I’d already started inching my way back to the exits and when they came back on, I was right beside the soundboard so I remained there for the rest of the show. It was an odd scene - the rear projector on and smoke emanating - but the house lights were all on. When "Us & Them" ended, the roadies began to tear down the stage but the chants of "more... more..." and "’Ostie!!" continued.

Blues: (Final encore) David never came back. I’ve read that he watched this song from the soundboard, but I was right there and I didn’t see him. While Snowy, Roger, Nick and Rick played the blues, roadies quickly tore down the equipment around them. By the end of the song, only Roger and Nick were left - Nick was down to just a snare drum and high-hat. Roger’s flat "Good-bye!" signalled the end of an unforgettable night.
It wasn’t the first time I’d seen Pink Floyd and it wasn’t the last. It was, however, the last time I’d see the line-up that I’ve come to believe is the best of their live incarnations. Now, nearly three decades later, I know it’s also the most significant concert I ever attended. Seems it was rather significant for Roger too.

God, that's awefull! Sure Water's was an increadable composer, but thats just terrible! Good lord he mananged to diss my favorite guitarist and one of my favorite keybordists. Still, I can still respect his composing, as he wrote most of my favorite album of all time. I would like to know about why he kicked Wright out (the other end of the argument that another poster pointed out.)

Oh, and, thanks Nobuo>>>>=God for the info about the concert. I had know idea Roger coxed the fan up on stage. I'm having trouble thinking of Pink Floyd as my favorite band right now. Looks like I'll be listening to a lot of The Who for a bit...

Edit: Oh, and thanks WheepingGuitar. :)

[DeusExMachina]

Roger Waters isn't a very nice guy. But I respect his talent tremendously.

WheepingGuitar, what is that?

Roger Waters isn't a very nice guy. But I respect his talent tremendously.

WheepingGuitar, what is that?
One of these days, live in Pompeii.

it concentrates on a very different Nick Mason.

[WheepingGuitar39]

I dont know why Roger got a change of heart
He probobly got into an argumetn with Dave
I think Roger wanted to get Floyd started again, but Dave said it's over and he's through with it. So something must of happened to get Roger mad.
Anyway, Roger kicked Rick out because he felt he didnt need him.
Gilmour and Waters, while heavily in argument, were discussing actually kicking Wright AND Mason out and doing everything on the Wall themselves.

[Riva]

Dave and Roger are just two conflicting egos, year after year. It's no wonder they couldn't hold down a tour together, despite the fact they are both really quite philanthropic and probably genuinely nice to people.

[DeusExMachina]

True, but people are always going to assume that Roger was the worse of the two, because he was the one running the show.

[thunderzstruck]

It is ON BITCH!!1 RAWR!!!
... :lol:


On a more serious note, I think I have just lost any remaining respect for Roger Waters. I happened to be browsing through a magazine section just a short while ago, and I happened upon Rolling Stone, and when I opened it up, I saw an interview with Roger Waters. ""Gee whilakers!" I thought to myself, expecting a good fluffy interview about what a good time he had at Live 8, and how SURPRISE! Pink Floyd is going to have a reunion tour, with free admittance, and their first stop will be in Rocky Mount, NC. And something about pigs flying on a cold day in Wisconsin...

Anyway, what I got was definitely NOT a fluffy interview, and definitely NO free autographed copies of The Wall and backstage passes to the first 1,000 people into the concert. Waters proceeded to pretty much thoroughly tear Gilmour's **** off in a completely uncalled for (and I'm sure bull****) claim that Gilmour (and Rick Wright :confused: ) were "insecure, and constantly told him that he sang off-tune and played bass badly". Oh sure, you dick, Rick trampled on you, thats why you kicked him out of the band for not doing exactly your bidding to the letter. Oh, and apparantly the reason they weren't having a tour was because "I decided to just roll over if we had an argument during the recital for Live 8. I'm not gonna ****ing roll over for an entire ****ing tour" (yes, he said **** more than Zakk Wylde on a bender)

He proceeded to insult the post-himself Floyd by saying "Gilmour had turned Pink Floyd into a brand name, doing crap tour after tour in order to rake money" He had past insinuated that the post-himself Floyd was just a Gilmour solo project. Oh, really? What the hell do you call The Wall and The Final Cut? And anyways, last I checked, Nick and Rick were having a jolly good time with Gilmour fronting the band, unlike... well, you know where I'm going with all of this. What I'm trying to say is that Waters is an egotistical megalomaniacal ******* who needs to either forgive and forget the past and join Floyd again, or shut the hell up and leave them alone. It's not your band anyore, you gave it up (and, might I add, pulled the "if I can't have it, noone can!" child-like tantrum that almost made Gimour, Mason, and Wright not be able to be Floyd anymore) He may be a lyrical genius, but he's still a prick.

Please address all flames to: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC
And no, those aren't exact quotes, I was paraphrasing. But if you read the interview, you can only agree that's what he was saying.

That's actually one of Gilmour's solos that I can play (correctly) the whole way through. It's also really cool when you turn up the distortion and delay.

No.

Get The Division Bell. Lyrically it is sub par, but musically it is still great.

[temporary]

No you should not buy that album because it is a below average album.

Meh, it had a few good songs on it (High Hopes is as good as it got post Waters) but most of it isn't too good.

As to the Time solo, the chances of me learning it any time soon are pretty low. I actually haven't been playing guitar too long.

I just learned it. I didn't think it was too bad, honestly. That part when you slide up an octave, and are playing all high up... it sounds killer with some delay.

Also, The Division Bell rocks. Buy it.

It is harder than it looks though. You have to put some emotion into the playing, otherwise it doesn't sound "right."

Oh, you're an AC/DC fan, so both?

But seriously, music is emotion. I mean, you listen to music to feel a sense of something, right? I get depressed when I listen to The Wall, because the insturmentals are so dark, but when I listen to something like Foo Fighters, I feel a sense of uplifting, because all of their songs are so joyous and happy.

ugh ummm I don't like ac/dc anymore, I was a huge fan when I first signed up... almost 2 years ago. And I don't see why that matters anyways

I do agree that music has emotion in it. I feel the effects. But you can't say play with more emotion please, slides and bends does not equal emotion. What may be playing with more emotion to someone may sound like crap to someone else.

Okay, I worded it the wrong way with saying that you need to play with some emotion. I know exactly what you mean, but I DO feel that there is a certain feeling that you can put into your playing. Ask any bluesman. You can play the blues no matter how you're feeling, but if you play it a certain way, as if trying to portray a certain feeling or emotion, than it sounds even better, IMO. I don't know, did that make sense?

[Flaminghotchino]

I think time is more intimidating then it is hard. Over the course of the summer I sat down and just learned it. The bends could be a little tricky to get to down, but I don't think it's too bad. As far as Gilmour solo's I know..it's probably the second hardest I know (with the shine on solo's as number 1). The easiest solo's of his imo are the wish you were here intro and the first solo in comfortably numb.

And to respond to thunderstruckz "you can't put emotion to playing" I think I know what he means... Like..Playing with emotion isn't a mechanical thing..it's not something you can just noticably fix like scales,hammer ons, harmonics... things like that.

However I think you can somewhat "put emotion to playing" because you can focus on letting go..and let your emotions shine in the music..hence adding your own twist and a piece of your heart into the song..

But whatever.

If I am going to learn any solo I'm going to learn that one, although I hate playing other peoples solos. Although I've forced myself to learn a couple Pink Floyd solos, I mainly prefer to improvise my own solos. Nice job though, I really liked it.

The Pompeii version also has them, but only for one chord sequence, not 2.

however, the pompeii version has the osciallating delay pedal, so i like both. My main gripe with pompeii is how short they made the intro.

Well guys, I just saw the Pink Floyd cover band Floydian Slip, and I have to say... Holy ****!!! They were amazing! Every song they did was amazingly well-done, and many with solos better done than Gilmour himself. Their lead guitarist iss 22, but has the technique of one who's been playing for 30 years or more. Who knows, maybe someone had a recorder on them and they'll put out a bootleg on the intraweb. But I can't overstate how good these guys were.
Playlist!!!:
off The Wall: In The Flesh?, ABitW pt. 1->Happiest Days->ABitW pt. 2, Mother, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell
off DSotM: Speak to Me->Breathe->On The Run->Time, Money, Brain Damage->Eclipse
off WYWH: SOYCD pts. I-V ( :D ), WYWH
off Animals: Pigs on The Wing 1

as well as one song I'd never heard before. I wish they had done One of These Days, Fearless, or Echoes, but their playlist was still pretty impressive. Most of you are probably thinking "Cover bands, eww!" but seriously, they did Floyd justice. Gilmour would be proud :thumb:

[magicbus]

I heard about this on "Late Nights with Alice Cooper" a couple months ago. I'll probably end up buying it, the French Revolution is very interesting to me.

And I'm down with cover/tribute bands. I saw this one (http://www.thesurrogateband.com/) last year, and I'll probably go see them again in September. They were very good, and very convincing.

I don't believe he did. He actually was Floyd's quitarist for only about two years, before he got addicted to LSD. Even when he tried to quit, his friends spiked is tea with it. So his guitar playing and singing pretty much turned into live sets of plinking an occasional note and maybe singing a lyric that may or may not be in the song they were playing. They picked up David Gilmour as a guitarist originally only for live shows, and Syd would continue to write songs and sing/play guitar in the studio. But that also went sour, as he eventually couldn't even focus in the studio. The most common story is that the band was going to pick him up for a show, and Roger Waters just said "Keep going" when they got to his house. He still lives with his wife (or sister, i can't remember) somewhere in England. They wrote most of the album Wish You Were Here for him, not just the song (unless that's what you meant) I don't think he ever checked into an asylum.

He became mentally ill from overdosing on acid and various other drugs. He could hardly even think for himself anymore.

How about this. We copy and paste all the ideas from post to post. Then, you add a "point" to whatever idea you like. To prevent cheating, after you post you need to add your screen name and which idea you voted for at the bottom of the list. So, if names duplicated, we'd just cancel out the last post they made.

Syd was a little schizo(sp?) to begin with he should never takin any psychedelic drugs in the first place. Then again one of my best friends thinks I'm bipolar and even if I am I'm not going to stop shrooming. (or future LSD) (*_*)

Uhh, yeah I do. It's just that my post was about 1/10 of Trav's, in which I put it in the simplest turns to understand.

He did take acid, along with LSD and other things. He did become mentally ill due to the drugs, hence why he could no longer participate with the band. The drugs were consuming him from the inside, and he couldn't think normally any longer.

What part isn't true?

[Rounder]

He was imbalanced long before. The drugs just made it worse.

Uploaded in Other Music, but with no traffic there hardly I didn't want it to go to waste. They're sort of a cross between Floyd and Porcupine Tree in a way, but with alot more synth.

Rounder is right. He was already strange to begin with. He didn't OD on anything and Syd had no problems with other drugs other than psychedelics. (and weed) Sorry if that seened a little mean. :-/

"Careful with that Thread, Eugene" is a good one. It'll warn noobs to be "careful" with this thread. /pun-z0rs omgsh

So is "The Great Thread in the Sky". My support: It sounds cool.

But we've gotta add "Pink Floyd" at the end.

And remember, there's a thread title limit so "Several Species of Small Rockin' Users Gathered In a Thread and Postin 'bout Some Floyd" is probably eliminated.

[Josh]

why not "The Great Pink Floyd thread in the Sky"? i suppose its a bit...boring, and predictable, but it has a song title bit and all the other stuff.

in other news, Comfortably Numb is now one of my favourite songs :D

[magicbus]

So are the thread names still changing? I thought they were going to be left as they are.

I bolded the ones that I personally like. It's tough to decide between them though.

Here's some that I thought up by myself (well, except for the exact same lyrics) (warning: they may be terrible):

"In the thread?"
"The post war thread"
"Posts on the wing"
"Converteth me to lamb cutlets"
"Charade, you are!"
"If you can hear this whispering, you are dying"
"Us and Them"
"The lunatic is in my thread" -- I think this is the best one I have thought of so far.

My AIM profile is just the Fearless lyrics. Everyone who is talking to me is like "What is that in your profile" and I say "A song" and they're like "oh it sounds good, who's it by?" and I say "Pink Floyd" and they just say "Oh." For some reason hearing a weird sounding band name scares some folks ****less. So I went ahead and credited Floyd at the bottom to save folks the trouble :rolleyes:
Oh, and I went ahead and narrowed my personal favorite list to Top... *countses on fingerses*... 7. The list in my other post was just a compendium of all the "serious" suggestions.

"If you can hear this whispering, you are dying"
Actually, what she whispers is "I never said I was afraid of dying." If you turn it way up and listen closely, you can tell.

/nitpicky

I think the best choice is Dark Side of the Forum. It's cool, catchy, and obvious. Casual Pink Floyd Fans may not recognize the more obscure ones, but everyone knows Dark Side of the Moon.

Too big to YSI... danm. Well, if there are particularly cool parts, could you possibly cut certain parts of the video out and upload them? I'd give you many many e-favors.

Well, she says "I never said I was afraid of dying" at one point of the song, but at another point she says "If you can hear this whispering you are dying." So, for someone who's nitpicky, you're actually wrong. However, I do agree that Dark Side of the Forum would work. As much as I love some of the other suggestions, DSOTF is cool sounding and when someone sees it, they know it's floyd.

It's at about 3:33 into the song. Just turn up the volume.

Downloading it now. I'll give it a listen as soon as I have it.

[spankyoplank]

Pink Floyd are going to be on the cover of the next edition of Classic Rock magazine everyone about how they broke up and stuff I think which seems a bit foolish considering they did a fairly large feature on the same thing on the issue before this.

[magicbus]

magicbus-I'm downloading that now, and I'll edit in what I think here.

EDIT: I like. Obviously the tone isn't perfect etc, but then it wouldn't be...I'm not a guitarist so I can't give you any technical advice. Anyway, it's played well, basically.

Thanks :thumb: I usually try to get the tone as close as possible when playing that or Echoes, but for some reason it didn't occur to me to fix it before I played. Meh, it's not like I would've had Gilmour's tone anyways.

magicbus - You need to work on muting strings alot more. The backing track should have been mixed higher and you hit a few out of key bends. It also seems your guitar is out of tune when you are playing those chords around 7:30. The solo isn't very technically hard yet I hear open strigns almost every lick you play. Work on muting most of all.

But your timming was pretty good and you cudos for memorizing all that.\

The backing song was actually playing in the background on my stereo, it was faintly recorded on the mic, which was next to my amp. But yea, I realize I do need to work on muting strings, I'm just not sure how to practice that :/

But thanks for the critique.

Try using your palm to rest forward on the bridge, slightly dampening the strings you aren't playing, then move it off when you want to play them. It works wonders.

That Dub Side Of The Moon album is ace. My favourite track is Speak To Me/Breathe, actually.
