There is no song called We Don't Need No Education. That song's actually called Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. There are three parts to Another Brick in the Wall.

Well, I'm sorry to say you'll likely get hooked. Do yourself a favor and download a song called Echoes (it's 23 minutes long), or just buy the cd Meddle.
You'll have a new favorite song ;)

Prepare to get your *** owned by Floyd buddy. The entire album album Meddle is crack for crackers (god, i can't get that out of my head :( ) Oh, and hey, if you like good long songs, also get Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It's split into two songs, SOYCD Parts I-V, and SOYCD VI-IX. I personally prefer I-V, but that's opinion. VI-XI is ace as well though, don't get me wrong :)

I think I'm one of few that prefer SOYCD 6-9. The guitar solo from 2:30-5:00 is orgasmic.

Who was the bassist for Floyd in DSOT? He's much better than Waters. Of course it's better with Roger and the band together, but this guy is a better bassist than Roger. He's got a nice solo in Money.

His name is Guy Pratt. I personally don't think he's that great, his style didn't fit Pink Floyd's sound that well. Waters' sound was much darker.
That solo on Money is mediocre, as far as bass solos go. The rest of that song on DSOT is awesome though. Guy Pratt never sings in it, which helps.

I actually like the solo quite a bit, but its not all that bad. I will agree that Waters fit the band more. Pratt did a pretty good job of mimicking Waters' voice in Run Like Hell.

It's probably my second favorite on Meddle (Echoes is first), the bass line basically sounds like a galloping horse through the whole song, which kicks ***.

I'll check out the reverb part out again and see if I know what you mean.

EDIT: If you mean the crazy noises just before the "One of the days.." line, I'm not exactly sure how they do it.

Gilmour sings on the first half of Dogs, Waters sings on the second half, I thought. But, I haven't listened to Animals in awhile, so I don't remember too well. I just no that the first speaking "dog" entity is Gilmour, and the younger apprentice dog is Waters.
I think it's kind of funny how much Pink Floyd is associated with drugs, considering that none of them (bar Syd) were heavy drug users.

The singing parts are correct as you have written them, Ethan.

I heard Roger Waters did a bit of acid in the early days. And I think Mason had a cocaine problem late in their career. Not sure though. In comparison with other band's of their time, they were kind of clean though. I know Perry and Tyler did quite a bit of heroine, but I don't know much about Aerosmith.

True about the drug thing. While the members did do some drugs, they were quite tame by comparison to most other bands in the 60's and 70's. Also, the music is not at all drug induced. Once again, bar Syd's work.

So, last night around ten, my dad and I turned on TV to see if the US Open womens semi finals was still on (which it wasn't) except, a local channel was broadcasting a Hurricane Katrina concert, and I saw the end of a song, and I thought, wow these guys are really good, they have awesome lighting, and they sound a ton like Pink Floyd. So they start their next song, I was like wow this sounds just like Sorrow, and then I realised it was. It was Aussie Floyd playing. They only played three more songs (Run Like Hell, Money, and Comfortably Numb) but they were all great. I'd love to see these guys.

There was one of Fox and ABC. It was only an hour long though, 8-9. I didn't see Aussie Floyd on it, but I was flipping channels between that and the Yankee game. I could have missed it, or it could have been a different concert, since none of the performers I saw did more than 1 song.

Ok I'm dying. This is torture. I really want to listen to Saucerful of Secrets, but I can't find my CD so I need to listen to it on my computer. But my dad won't let me turn on music because he's sleeping on the couch besides me.
Maybe I will go downstairs and listen to something...I've gotta figure out what Pink Floyd albums I have downstairs. I suppose only The Wall and DSOTM, man, I've got doubles of DSOTM on vinyl except one album is so scratched up its unlistenable (which is why I bought another one). Although sometimes I don't even realize I'm listening to the scratched up one for like half an hour and I realize the needles been stuck in the same groove for like 20 minutes. It never really sounds that bad though, so I don't notice it. It just gets sort of repetative.
NEWSFLASH!!!
my dad just told me that on the radio this morning Floyd were played, and they are considering making a comeback album. Roger Waters said the rift between him and the other band members was healed, and being up onstage together at Live8 was brilliant, and they are considering reforming properly.
i hope they at least tour again, i would get a ticket sooooo quickly!

I don't believe it. It's nice, but I've read interviews with bandmembers saying it won't happen, and I believe those more than the radio. The radio has been known to report on false rumors before.

Does anyone else see experimental/progressive music as an alternative to, rather than an excuse for, drugs?
To tell you the truth, once I started doing drugs I also wanted to start making more experimental music. Now that's almost all I play, bluegrass is the only genre of music I play that I haven't saturated with experimental or psychedelic influences. But you are correct though, it can be a very good alternative for drugs. I find it's a new/different way of looking at and seeing into the giant painting that is music. Sort of like how some say drugs give you a new persective on life (or show you a new world altogether)...I feel that both drugs and experimental music help me explore deeper into my innermost conciousness of expression and thought. Alright now I'm just starting to sound like some sort of drugged up shaman wannabe.
All in all though I agree with you. You can dig further into your mind with music than you can with drugs (well maybe it's about half and half).
edit- Pink Floyd reuniting? I'll believe it when I see/hear it.
Oh man I'm listening to Jugband Blues right now and it just hit the chorus. I love this song! I'll do my loving in the winter!!!!!! Do do do do do do do do. I guess you can hear the words I'm typing.

If its true, I' going to be increadably happy, but unfortunatly people have been saying this for quite some time (not that you may not be right.) I can still hope...
I don't believe it yet, but at least my radio station tends to be pretty reliable with things like this. If I hear it from a few more reliable sources, I'll get my hopes up. A reunion would be so great though.

I said the same thing when the rumors of Cream playing 3 concerts at MSG were starting. But now that I've heard the tickets are like $350 at least, I'm not going. I hope Floyd would go a little cheaper prices if they toured. I'd be willing to pay a lot though.

Part of it is that Cream hasn't actually toured since 1968 (not counting Albert Hall) but Floyd did in '94 (not counting Live 8) so I don't think they'd be that much. Plus, Waters may have been an egomaniacal jerk, but he never screwed over fans. Well, unless you count spitting on the fan, but he got the best apology ever, since it led to The Wall...

Good point. Cream's still not touring though, so maybe if they did a full tour, the prices would be lower. Floyd certainly don't need money, and none of them seem to really want money either. If they tour, I could see them donating most of their profit to charity.

I know that there are rumours that Floyd might play when they get inducted into the UK music Hall Of Fame later this year, but that might still not happen (although they are definitely being inducted). If they do tour, then ticket prices would be huge. The band members wouldn't really be responsible for the pricing unless they organised the events independently I guess, and once the touts got involved then the number of reasonably priced tickets would sadly be rather small, although I'd imagine they'd stay below some of the prices being charged for Cream gigs.
If they're inducted, they'd still do a gig at the HOF though, right? So even if they don't tour, at least there will be a single gig we could watch. There's no way it would be televised over here in America, but it'll probably be avaliable over the internet.

I was actully listining to "Octopus" bwfore I read that post. :)
Madcap Laughs is great. I don't know what it is about that album but it just seems as though it's incomplete alot of mess-ups and off key singing yet it still holds an undifined magic that I haven't yet to understand. I suprisingly haven't heard Barrett all the way through because I have yet to download it. There's only a few songs I haven't heard though and although the lyrics are great to be honest the album's music is sub par. Probablly because Gilmour and Waters made all the music and attempted to create what Syd was trying to make but unfortuntly they failed. I do respect them for trying though.

One of These Days does it for me. The thundering delayed intro, the awesome slide solos by Gilmour, the crazy section in the middle where it sounds like a submarine about to implode, and the end trailing off into the winds of A Pillow of Winds.

learning to fly?
ewww....
I love Learning to Fly. It's really catchy, which is kind of odd for Pink Floyd. I really like it though. A few other people mentioned it, so at least I'm not alone in liking it.
I never really liked Keep Talking, but I listened to it today off Pulse, and I have decided that it is awesome. Wierd. I listened to it many times and didn't really care for it, and then suddenly I think it's great. I think I like Learning to Fly better than it though.

A lot of Floyd takes a couple listens to really appreciate. Keep Talking just took more listens than most of their other songs to really appreciate it. Great song.

Learning to Fly was one of the first songs I downloaded when I started getting into floyd.
so I've always liked it a lot..It's such a peaceful song.
I've actually recently been getting into AMLoF it's a really really great record.. The solo's and everything are outstanding..my only complaint is sometimes all the keyboards reek a bit too much of the 80's synth sound... and the lyrics can be a little...lame at times.
But still an underated cd imo
Has anyone noticed that the movie version of "Empty Spaces" is soooo much cooler than the actual album version?
Yea, I really wish they put the movie version on the album. It's got some awesome lyrics, and the animation that accompanies it is my favorite in the movie.
The Australian Pink Floyd Show are playing here in November. I think I'm going to go.

Awesome. I've never seen them before, but I've heard that they're awesome. I'm definitely going. I'm really liking Is There Anybody Out There? (The Wall Live) right now. It's not that much different than the album, but it's still awesome.
np- Goodbye Cruel World
Edit- Damn. Aussie Floyd isn't coming to NY. Maybe they'll put up some more dates. The Machine: A Pink Floyd Tribute is playing in NYC though, anyone know if they're any good?

Kingofdudes
09-14-2005, 11:57 PM
Id rank Sorrow in their top 10 songs. There is only one song I dislike on there(Yet Another Movie), and 2 filler tracks. The rest of the songs are good to me.
Hmmm
I just listened to it backwards, but still can't tell what it's saying.
Yeah, I checked it out yesterday and today, and I couldn't hear it. I did hear some very quiet talking tho, but I couldn't get my volume to go any higher (cause it already was at it's highest)...
In all honesty, I've never got the big deal about Run Like Hell at all...it's OK, but I don't see why it became such a fixture in Floyd's live sets, to be honest. Compared with quite a lot of other songs on The Wall, I think it gets blown away by them.
Exactly my thoughts.

I went to see them earlier this year (around May time) and they did similar songs ... from the list you gave though they didn't do Careful with that axe, Eugene and The Fletcher Memorial Home (Never heard that song infact). They also did Sheep off the ones you didn't give, and One of These days.
EDIT: Just remembered they didn't do Sorrow too. Ah yes and they opened with In The Flesh.

I'm not sure what to think of Australian Pink Floyd. One one hand, they nail PF's songs down so well and they put on quite a performance, but on the other hand, I don't really have respect for a band that makes a living off being a cover band. Especially when the band is touring so much off other people's songs.

I'm pretty sure if you went to a Pink Floyd concert while high you would definitely remember and enjoy it. I remember I was going to drink before I went to Alice Cooper, but I decided not to because I wanted to enjoy and remember it fully sober...so I can understand what you are saying. Although marijuana + Pink Floyd >>>> alcohol + Alice Cooper.

Hahaha that's when it gets to the point where you are too lazy to even just open your eyes. You just curl up inside your mind. I love that stage.
That's when I just put on Dark Side of the Moon. That's my burning out album. I'd say Saucerful of Secrets is my starting off album, The Wall fits nicely into the middle, and DSOTM ends it off well. Usually I like to change it up though so I'm not always listening to the same PF albums every day. I went through a phase where I listened to DSOTM every night while laying in bed for about 2 months.

A Tree Full of Secrets was a series, if you will, of albums they released with a ton of different stuff. Like solo projects, old stuff before Pink Floyd, a other stuff.

Yet Another Movie has like a minute of garbage, but then it gets in the song, and it's a good song.
On The Turning Away is amazing.
One Slip is alright. Pretty good.. not too Pink Floyd sounding though. The tempo is a lot faster than most other Floyd songs.

Have they made something bad(before Waters left)? Floyd - Waters were ****. They made a load of crap. But, Waters made that band. He was the creative one. Writing lyrics and making the songs. He did everything for that band.

What? The Wall? That's under the name Pink Floyd not Roger Waters. I meant like ROGER WATERS. his totally solo work, away from PF.
I think Roger made better music on his own. It's very much more musically great than the early work. Water made the group more mature. The early work, IMO, was them having fun as young adults.
