The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[standard]

But, Waters made that band. He was the creative one. Writing lyrics and making the songs. He did everything for that band.


How can you say he did everything? Honestly.. He did a ton, lyrically. But the rest of the band did the music. Waters rarely even played bass on the albums, most of the time the band would get pissed cause he couldn't do it after so many tries, so Gilmour would come in and get it done quick. Gilmour also wrote a lot of music for the lyrics that Waters produced. It was a communial thing, Waters wrote lyrics, and the rest of the band went from there.

[Prince of Darkness]

But what about Animals and The Wall? Waters wrote everything didn't he?

[standard]

Animals he wrote, except for Dogs.

The Wall, he wrote all except..

Young Lust
Comfortably Numb
Run Like Hell
and The Trial

[temporary]

But what about Animals and The Wall? Waters wrote everything didn't he?

Nope, the whole band wrote Animals. Rogers wrote almost all of The Wall, but Gilmour wrote most of the guitar work. Rogers always wrote always wrote the lyrics, though.

[Prince of Darkness]

But on the back of the Animals cd case, It says (Waters) Next to all the track names. I figured that meant 'wrote by:'

[standard]

It does, and a lot of songs do say Waters, but a lot of times he didn't write the lyrics, or play bass on the song for that matter. Waters never gave his band the credit they deserved.

[Prince of Darkness]

The Wall, IMO was the bands best work, as cliche as that may seem. Animals coming second to that. Pink Floyd made good music in the start, but then it was not just Waters working on the music. That was fun psycadelic music they made. But later, Waters was moving away from the band to make the music himself. That IMO, worked. As he grew even more apart of Pink Floyd, he went on to start a solo career.That should be good, as he was the musically creative member of Pink Floyd. Can someone post the Discography of his solo career please. Thanks.

POST 1000 for me. Yipee.

[Schyma]

I've never recieved a clear answer about this....... Why did Roger leave the Floyd?

[DBoons Ghost]

I've never recieved a clear answer about this....... Why did Roger leave the Floyd?


He didn't.

They kinda kicked him and his giant ego out of the band.

[standard]

Well first him and Rick Wright had a problem, which is why Wright wasn't on The Final Cut.

Gilmour and Waters have really always never seen eye to eye. They've always had disagreances, and eventually Waters just.. left, or maybe they kicked him out? Either or. So Gilmour and Mason brought back Wright to make 2 more, I think, very good albums.

I've always liked Gilmour a lot more than Waters though, vocally, musically, and even as a person. He seems to be a better person.

I lost a lot of respect for Waters when I heard he spit on a kids face who was crawling up on the stage during DSoTM.

[moaner]

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.

it was a weak attempt at a joke.

I just find the solo stuff boring. there's nothing musically original or exciting about it, the lyrics don't appeal to me and in some of roger's albums the vocals consitute little more than rhythmic monologue.



Roger elft pink floyd because he felt that the other members were simply jealous of his songwriting ability and ebcause he was upset that they said he couldn't sing.

However, an outsider might suppose that the reason roger was doing mostr of the songwriting was that he wouldn't let anybody else do it.

he went on to make some veyr offenisve comments about david gilmour, which in the msot part dave didn't dignify with petty arguments. but they were both pretty silly about it.

[standard]

Yea. I'm really suprised that they got back together.

That's why Gilmour and Waters with an arm around each other on stage, was simply.. amazing.

[Prince of Darkness]

Fuk, I wanna see that Live8 Pink floyd Concert. Was it any good?

[DBoons Ghost]

Did someone ask about Waters' solo albums?

The only one worth buying is Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking.

It's very Floyd-ish in regards to the conceptual flow, and the music.

The band Roger put together is one of the best assembled. Eric Clapton, Michael Kaman, David Sanborn, Andy Newmark.. Good stuff.

Some people don't like it. I loved it though. I saw the tour and was lucky enough to catch Clapton before he quit the tour, citing that "Waters is a psychopath".

David Gilmour also released solo works. His album "About Face" is actually pretty good. Pino Palladino plays some mean fretless on that album.

I don't know on the DVD. I'll buy Car Ira when it comes out though. I own all the other ones. Something intriguing about Roger doing opera based on the French Revolution.

I assume Roger will record the upcoming event in Rome, and maybe have that on DVD.

Not very long at all.. I think they only played 2 shows like that, and after that they intended on having syd write the songs still but have gilmour perform them.

As we all know that didn't work out.

I'm kinda glad though because I absolutey LOVE "The Madcap Laughs" definately a truely amazing and underated work.

I have this book about Jimi Hendrix written by Mitch Mitchell and some other guy and in there Mitchell writes that they went on tour with Pink Floyd and that around the middle of the tour David Gilmour came to replace Syd at their live shows. He also wrote that Syd didn't talk to anybody on that tour (not even to his own band)...

When I read things about Syd that always kinda depresses me...

I like it a lot. Comparable to PATGOD, but not quite as good. I haven't heard Barrett, his other album though. Anyone know if that's good.

And that would have been an awesome tour with Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Yeah PATGOD is much better, but I was just pleasently surprised when I heard his solo album because I heard lots of bad things about it.. It definately grew on me..

As far as his other album goes, I've only heard a couple of tracks from it..and I don't really recall what they were like.. only that one song about an elephant which is crazy..

[Kingofdudes]

Only like 1 - 2 weeks. There is a really sad picture of them in "Inside out" with all 5 of them. Dave, Roger, Nick, and Rick are all up front on the photo, and Syd is hovering in the back.

[Distant Echoes]

I believe They kicked syd out by simply not picking him up for one of their gigs...and he sortta got the point from there.

And whats the Madcap Laughs your all talking about? is this a song or album or what?

[Kingofdudes]

A Syd Barret Solo album

[Distant Echoes]

Oh alright, i thought it was some floyd bootleg at first. Theres something about solo albums I tend to dislike...cant figure it out yet.

Its my unofficial duty also to announce the Australian Pink Floyd Show is starting an American Tour in November again. Tix go generally for $35, but all the dates havent yet been announced. Their a really great show for a decent price. I'd recommend any and all floyd fans to see them.

In addition to downloading a few more bootlegs, I found a video of Pink Floyd playing Careful With That Axe Eugene. It's awesome. I got like super chills when Waters starting screaming.

EDIT: Also, I this live version of Echoes I actually got creeped out by the middle part. The noises are so high-pitched and fast that it sounds like a hyena or something.

Near my favorite, but Rush in Rio > LZ DVD (disc 1) > Pompeii. Then the others all sortta float around after that...

I like the director's cut much more then regular one though. I dont know why somebody wouldn't, unless their strictly about only watching music on the DVDs and absolutely nothing else.

But even then, The directors cut has both versions in it

Theyll probably do NYC. Only a few dates are posted on ticketmaster, their official site doesnt even have any yet (www.aussiefloyd.com). Philadelphia isnt posted up yet either, but i know their gonna be here on Nov 30th.

Watch PBS/WHYY, or whatever station begs for money on your tv. Theyve been playing Aussie floyd non stop at nights and selling front tix for about $180. Thats with a $145 donation included, so dont get that.

I heard about the Pink Floyd laser show. It's sopposed to be pretty good, and cheap. I would go, but I never remember to check when its coming. My parents told me its been around for quite a while though.

I just remeber the episode of That 70's Show when Eric really wanted to see Laser Floyd

My dad was telling me they were going to do a Floyd Laser show while showing The Wizard of Oz
I told him that sounds like something I'd go to if I was on shrooms
He must have realized it was true, he hasn't spoken of it since. Too bad, it sounded kinda cool :p

[Distant Echoes]

Floyd during Oz? Ive tryed that myself, and that would not be worht paying for, though the first time the album played did match really good.

/attempts not to bring that topic up again

I dont remember the 70s episode when eric wants to see that. I thought Ive seen them all to, though i did like when he was in line for the styx by himself all night :lol: good stuff

[BigTrav415]

As I reach for a peach
Slide a rind down behind
the sofa in San Tropez
Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand
Riding a wave in the wake of an old Sedan
Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness
Scratched by the sand that fell from our love
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling
If you're alone I'll come home

Backwards and home bound
The pidgeon the dove
Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane
Owning a home with no silver spoon
I'm drinking champaigne like a big tycoon
Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
I'll gather my far flung thoughts together
Speeding away on a wind to a new day
If your alone I'll come home

And I pause for a while
By a country style
And listen to things they say
Digging for gold in the hoe in my hand
Hoping they'll take a look at the way things stand
And you're leading me down to the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
if you're alone I'll come home


God I just love those lyrics. That song makes me feel very good inside :)

Robo, you should go I bought That Darkside bootleg and that rarities album there. One of them says on the disc that there are only 500 copies made. Thats pretty cool I think.

Awesome movie. Pretty freaky, but the whole thing is just awesome. There's a flea market like 5 minutes away from me, I wonder if they have some Floyd bootlegs like the one Livewired got. I'll have to check it out.
Yeah I really love the movie.

I love the way Roger and David made the lyrics match the complete storyline. "Comfatably Numb" and "Hey You" are prime examples. Although my favorite song of 'The Wall' might be "Nobody Home" or "In the Flesh?"

[robo2448]

Hey You wasn't in the movie. I guess you're talking about the separate video for it though, which was awesom. Would have been cooler if it was in the actual movie though. Highlights of the movie for me were Mother, One of My Turns, Is There Anybody Out There, and Comfortably Numb. The lyrics just match the scene so perfectly in those parts.

Also, the part where the teacher reads the lyrics of Money is awesome.

[Riva]

The best part is the animation for Goodbye Blue Sky and the whole In The Flesh/Run Like Hell/Waiting For The Worms/The Trial sequence.

[Cal_on_drums]

Recently my girlfriend got me into Pink Floyd and they are amazing! So diverse and creative.
I recently got DSotM which is just incredible and bought The Wall earlier on today for £10 and so far so good!

[Sam]

I'm actually not a huge fan of the Wall (the movie). It's cool and all, but it drags at times.

Live at Pompeii is the **** though.

[Broken Arrow]

I have the same favourite part as Riva.

Yeah Wish You Were Here is definitly the one I'm getting next. All the songs are classic and the title track reminds me of my girlfriend. :cool:

i love wish you were here album, but soycd and welcome to the machine give me bad memories :upset: i hope i can change that

[standard]

Only bad thing of relating music to someone, is when you break up with them, or go through a rough time, you will hate the music.

We all fall victim to this though..

yes that was what happened to me too (except it wasnt a relationship) with soycd and welcome to the machine. theyre good songs but they give me bad memories

EDIT: :eek: :eek: im listening to careful with that axe eugene


is that a person screaming????

Yup. Isnt it great.

Wish you were here is near my favorite album, but i still dont think anything could touch the perfection of dsotm. Oh god im a fanboy again...

[Whale and Wasp]

wow that is creepy!!!


i atually dont think dsotm is their best. i like meddle and patgod better.

[DeusExMachina]

Meddle is great music, but I don't think it has the flow or impact th at DSOTM has.

[clairvoyant]

I like Wish You Were Here and Animals the most. Dark Side of the Moon is pretty overrated in my opinion.

[robo2448]

WYWH > Animals = Pulse. That's my top 3, and I don't really feel like listing more because then the choices get harder.

[Collis]

What about Relics? some really great stuff on this album (Im listening to it now actually ...), a lot of ther stuff was not written by Syd but the music does have a big pyschedelic feel to it ....

[Distant Echoes]

Relics is sort of a greatest hits of syd, and a few extra unreleased tracks. Its full of good songs, but Id rather listen to PATGOD, though Relics is easier on the ear imo.

I feel like Meddle is just some acoustic/folk ballads (i dont know what you all consider them) featuring One of these days and Echoes. I like the songs, but Looking at it like that tends to drive me away from listening to it more often.

[robo2448]

The songs on Relics are great. But because it's kind of a compilation, it doesn't flow like most Floyd albums do.

[moaner]

I've never seen the wall film, but i'm not a big fan of the album so i doubt it'd like it.

[Shazzam]

yes that was what happened to me too (except it wasnt a relationship) with soycd and welcome to the machine. theyre good songs but they give me bad memories

EDIT: :eek: :eek: im listening to careful with that axe eugene

Yeah Roger almost does sort of a black metal-esque scream in that song.

[BigTrav415]

Meddle is great music, but I don't think it has the flow or impact th at DSOTM has.
TO be honest, I've thought about it a lot, you know, the music industry of the early 1970s, how Meddle sounds, etc., and I've come to this conclusion:

I can't believe that album didn't make a HUGE impact.

Think about it. 1970-71, the music industry was at a stand-still. The world was left shocked and appalled at the breakup of the Beatles. There were no amazing albums coming out at that time. No new ground had been broken. Everyone was just... waiting, waiting to see where the industry was going.

Now think about Meddle. Released in 1971 by a moderately popular British rock band (that right there should have been enough).

Now think about the track-list.

One of These Days - An amazingly hard-rocking song that was incredibly heavy for its time. I'm not sure If there was ANYTHING like that song at the time. Black Sabbath maybe... but please. One of These Days should have attracted the youth looking for a hard sound.

A Pillow of Winds - A beautiful, soft, acoustic song, with romantic lyrics and a flowing voice from Gilmour. This seems like the kind fo song that would attract all of the romanticising girls of the time, looking for a new crooner.

Fearless - Simply a great song. This would attracta WHOLE lot of people.

San Tropez - One word. Beatles. In light of their breakup, fans were looking for a band to fill the void. Listen to the song; you can only agree that it's an incredibly Beatles-esque song. Why wasn't this song all over the radio?

Seamus - This would attract... someone I'm sure.

Echoes - The trippers. Anyone that loved a trippy song would love Echoes. That song is the epitome of long, trippy jam song. Really, you can practically smell the weed coming out of the stoner's mouth while toking to Gilmour's monotone lyrics.


I Just.
Don't.
Get.

[Riva]

Probably the first time he used his falsetto. :p

Are you serious? 70-71 was the rise of prog, not to mention harder rock than there ever had been, and even the beginnings of metal (amongst other great albums coming out). The Who released Live at Leeds and Who's Next, Zeppelin put out III abd IV, ELP formed, the Allmans released Live at the Fillmore, the Dead put out Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, and Skull and Roses. Jethro Tull released Benefit and Aqualung, the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 was absolutely mindblowing, Yes released the Yes Album and Fragile, Traffic put out their two most advanced records to date, etc. Ground was being broken everywhere you looked.

Naturally the Beatles' break-up was a huge hit on the industry, but real rock fans knew what was going on and knew the importance of the records in these years. Maybe rock fell away from the mainstream but it certainly didn't slow down.

OK, I guess I was wrong :upset:
My dad was actually telling about that era himself, and he was 15-16 then. So I took his info as true. But w/e.

[Whale and Wasp]

Yeah Roger almost does sort of a black metal-esque scream in that song.
:amaze: wow thats roger....? :lol:

I thought the same thing, I had no idea Waters could sound like that.

NP - Pink Floyd - Hey You

[classicrockman]

Can you guys help me out with something here?

I'm a fan of Floyd (but not a huge one) and my friend's a bigger fan of Floyd. He said that Syd Barrett is alive...I was always under the impression that he was dead. He said that he was living in England with his mom. I don't really listen to much music before DSOTM so I took his word for it.

Is Syd Barrett dead?

[clairvoyant]

As far as I know Syd Barrett is still alive.

[WetNoodle]

I THINK he's still alive.

I had some photos of him that were around 2000-2002 so i guess he's still around.

They were depressing to look at :(

[Skyler]

Yeah, he is still alive. Nick Mason says in Inside Out that he is living somewhere in Cambridge.

[robo2448]

As far as I know Syd Barrett is still alive.

He is. He lives in England with somebody who looks after him. He's still completely insane, it would have nice if he got a little better, but apparently his condition is still just about the same as it was 35 years ago.

Edit- beat :upset:

[classicrockman]

Hmmm....

I always thought he overdosed or something. So was he kicked out to bring in David?

[Skyler]

Hmmm....

I always thought he overdosed or something. So was he kicked out to bring in David?

His drug abuse got out of hand, and regularly didn't attend shows, so they got Gilmore to fill in for him. Eventually they just dropped Syd and brought Gilmore in full time.

[robo2448]

Hmmm....

I always thought he overdosed or something. So was he kicked out to bring in David?

He went insane from acid. Powerful stuff. Somewhat similar to Brian Wilson, but a much worse condition. When Pink Floyd was performing, he'd just sit there and stare into space, and so they brought Gilmour in, who was a friend of Syd, to cover for Syd during live shows. As his condition got worse, they permanently replaced him with Dave.

Edit- Beat again :angry:

This is embarrassing. I should just give up with answering questions.

[Skyler]

No. I've just hung around in this thread for 6 months ;)

Which is better, Inside Out or A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Oddessy? I'm really want to get one of them, but I'm not sure which to get.

No. I've just hung around in this thread for 6 months ;)

Inside Out has pictures, but it's more expensive. A Saucerful of Secrets is very, very detailed. I actually haven't read it all yet, because it's so detailed, but it's still awesome.

[Broken Arrow]

I really want "Inside Out" haven't really heard much about "Saucerful" but the way you guys talk about I should check it out.

[robo2448]

Inside Out has pictures, but it's more expensive. A Saucerful of Secrets is very, very detailed. I actually haven't read it all yet, because it's so detailed, but it's still awesome.

I think I'll get Saucerful of Secrets then. Thanks.

I'd probably be disappointed with Mason's book. I mean, pictures are awesome, but from someone who's actually a member of the band, I'd want a lot of detailed stories.

Aside from Lunch's answer, there's also the fact that it didn't become popular precisely because it appealed to so many styles. DSOTM is a very specific album, with a specific style. Meddle is the kind of album that all stereotypes would like some of, but no stereotype would like all of.

Except for the "BigTrav" stereotype :thumb:

[Broken Arrow]

Haha.

[Kingofdudes]

Nick goes into a lot of detail about Pre PATGOD Floyd. After DSotM, he doesnt go into as much detail.

[DeusExMachina]

Except for the "BigTrav" stereotype :thumb:
Yeah, except for that one. And the "Machine of the Gods" stereotype.

But seriously, you're talking about how different songs appeal to different groups. But none of those groups, if they were focused on just that style, would enjoy all the songs.

No. I've just hung around in this thread for 6 months ;)

I've never heard of A Saucerful of Secrets. The only reason I knew Inside Out exsisted was because I happened to find it in Barnes and Noble. I was kind of disappointed by it actually. Not as much detailed information as I was hoping for. The pictures are nice though.

I'm not sure, I've only seen the book a few times in the store :/

It's like a picture of 10 people on the beach, including the members of Pink Floyd. Roger has some cool aviator glasses on, and everyone else is wearing swimsuits. It makes them seem "normal" :p

[Skyler]

Ohhhh yeah I know which one you're talking about now. That picture reminds me of The Beatles Anthology. There is a picture very similar to that one in it of the Beatles and their girlfriends at the beach in Fiji. You're right, it does make them seem very normal.

[Dred]

Best band ever.

[WetNoodle]

Which Floyd album are you currently listening/hooked to?

For me it's Animals, It's so amazing. My favorites right now are both pigs on the wing and the song Pigs(3 different ones). Im hooked on this cd, It hasnt left my cd player (except for Frances the mute by the mars volta ocasionally)

Also, where are you people getting all these bootlegs from? I want some :(

[Broken Arrow]

Flea markets where I got mine.

I think "Saucerful of Secrets" has me hooked right now.

[dr._feelgood]

My favorite album right now would have to be The Wall, although i find that there are a few tracks that are on the album don't add too much to the story and aren't even very good songs. I only enjoy about 3/4 of The Wall, but what a great 3/4 it is.

[Sam]

You know, I'm amazed this thread is still going. I mean, pretty much everything that has to be said about Pink Floyd has been said 3 or 4 times already.

Oh well.

[RNR]

Yes but there's probably someone who just registered today who loves Floyd and they will probably want to talk about them. So this thread is still important.

So, uh yeah. Atom Heart Mother is cool.

[Sam]

I concur. I have an AHM shirt that I wear, whenever I feel it's prudent.

[Shazzam]

Well, I'm sure everything has been said about them in the past 30 years numerous times, but that doesn't take away from the massive popularity.

[WelcomeToTheMachine]

I know a site where you can download over 100 PF bootlegs, do you think someone could possibly upload AHM and send it to my email( leftbehinddjdh@aol.com )

[dr._feelgood]

Has anyone else noticed that since the Live 8 concert they've been playing ALOT more Pink Floyd on classic rock radio? In the past few weeks I've heard a ton of Pink Floyd songs they never would have played on the radio a year ago, like Welcome To The Machine, Mother, and Run Like Hell, just to name a few.

Nope. They still keep playing the same 3 songs where I live.

Another Brick In The Wall, Comfortably Numb, and Hey You.

Great songs, but I wish they would play something else besides stuff off The Wall.

[Shazzam]

I only ever hear Money and ABITW (super overplayage)

[dr._feelgood]

Oh, that's rough. I actually haven't heard Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 in awhile.

[dr._feelgood]

Pink Floyd's album sales have gone way up since Live 8. Accoridng to Wikipedia sales of Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd went up 1343%, while Amazon.co.uk reported increases in sales of The Wall at 3600%, Wish You Were Here at 2000%, Dark Side of the Moon at 1400% and Animals at 1000%.

[Skyler]

Not surprised. They sounded amazing at Live 8, almost identical to the albums, and 30 years later too.

[Riva]

It's probably all the oldies buying up the CD versions of their old tapes and vinyls. I know that's what I was doing. :cool:

[dr._feelgood]

I'm just surprised that WYWH's sales went up more than DSotM's. They poured alot of emotion when they played WYWH at Live 8, though.

[Riva]

Mother gets played to death where I live. It's a grear song so i'm not surprised.

[BuddhaRockstar]

I feel exactly the same way. Although The Wall is probably my least favorite Pink Floyd Album.

Agreed, I love The Wall, but it's such a teribly depressing album, it really has no ending to it, as they explained in the movie commentary.

My favorite's gotta be WYWH, all the songs on there each sound unique and each one is great. I actually prefer "Have a Cigar" to "Money".

[MBS]

Agreed, I love The Wall, but it's such a teribly depressing album, it really has no ending to it, as they explained in the movie commentary.

It's an endless cycle. Notice how the album ends and starts with that little flute bit.

[magicbus]

It's an endless cycle. Notice how the album ends and starts with that little flute bit.

And the "Isn't this where...we came in?" bit.

[clairvoyant]

I never hear any Floyd songs on the radio except for Comfortably Numb every once in a while.

[BigTrav415]

I've noticed this thread has gone into a bit of a dip. There's nothing wrong at all with talking about random stuff like what Floyd songs you heard on the radio and what your fave album is, but when that's all that's going on, the thread sort of dies a little inside.

So I've got a new idea to motivate the loyal thread-goers. Make something inspired by Pink Floyd. It can be a painting, a drawing, a poem, an article, anything, inspired by an album, a song or by the band themselves. It'll help you really start thinking about specifically why you personally love Floyd, and make something cool at the same time :D When you're done, just upload and post it, and we'll talk about it :thumb:

I've got a little something in the works right now, I can't really reveal too much yet of course, don't want to ruin the surprise...

It would be impossible to draw anything that would even slightly resemble how songs look in my head.

I'm in trouble, everyone. I've OD'd on Floyd, and am having trouble listening to albums straight through now. :( I don't know what to do. Except, I'm going to do shrooms for the first time soon, so if I do that while listening to Floyd, maybe that'll help. I hope so.

[Schyma]

The least you'll be worried about is music. Trust me. Some people love listining to music while on shrooms but me? My mind drifts WAY to much to focus on any type of music. Maybe it's different with different people.

[Shazzam]

I like Magicbus' pictures alot, especially the third one.

Speaking of shrooms, I'm gonna be trying them for the first time in a few weeks with some good friends. It'll be one hell of a trip (hopefully).

Indeed. I think this was asked before, but I don't recall. Any tips on shrooming?

[standard]

Yeah of course. A big bowl of cool whip to mix it in, and eat it all.

It tastes acceptable.

While we're on the subject of trippy pictures, here are a few I made in the past:

Wow, thats really cool. I think the third one's probably the best. Same goes to you, Shazzam.

[Skyler]

Great job on those pictures, magicbus. I really like the third one. I've made some weird sketches while listening to Pink Floyd in the past, I think I threw them away though.

last one is awesome

[magicbus]

Thanks guys :thumb:

If I remember correctly, the second one was done while listening to Any Colour You Like, and I think during the first one I was listening to some psychadelic music, but I don't remember what.

Yeah, the second one really fits Any Colour You Like.

[Riva]

Nice pictures Aaron. When I get home from Uni, I'll post some of my Floyd inspired work for you all. :D And my girlfriend made me this sweet arse painting which is inspired by me and also Pink Floyd.

[DeusExMachina]

Riva, didn't you have a picture before that you drew with like, a dozen Pink Floyd references in it or something?

[Riva]

Indeed I did. A tatoo with 6 (I think) references, that I am going to get, since it means something to my girlfriend and I also.

[Shazzam]

Oh yeah, I remember that.

We had to figure out the 6 Floyd references from it, and if we got them all, we'd be repped.

[Riva]

And Aaron did first, and I never repped him cos he already had stars. :p

[magicbus]

You should do it again, so you can rep another Aaron :naughty:

[Riva]

GO! (http://photobucket.com/albums/v376/JasonTheSteve/Sketches/?action=view&current=Tattoo.jpg)

First to name them all gets the prize. There's 5.

[BigTrav415]

I set magicbus's second pic as my background :thumb: I'm working on my SOYCD thing tomorrow during study hall :)

[magicbus]

1. The shaking of the hand a la Wish You Were Here
2. Wish You Were Here written on the banner below.
3. The beams of light going through the heart (like DSOTM lol)
4. The "P" and the "F" on each end of the banner (for Pink Floyd)
5. The guy sitting in the chair on the banner is from the cover of Ummagumma


EDIT: Deus helped me out :p

[DeusExMachina]

Yarg. I helped you get the last one!

a full sized of number 3 would be great.

that's album cover quality, dude. National album cover.

[magicbus]

Do you have an email I can send it to or something?

[Doctor Night]

How do you make those?

[magicbus]

I take pictures and use different effects to transform them until they look the way I'm seeing it. For instance, that "wave" one started off as the cover to A Saucerful of Secrets :p

Moaner, I'm sending it now.

[Lunch]

Maybe in art class I'll start working on pictures that depict song titles, and do one for Pink Floyd.

[Broken Arrow]

I like the 3rd one best but there all awesome.

[temporary]

Wow, listened to Any Colour You Like for the first time in a while today, and I forgot how awesome it was. I love the groove Wright and Gilmour are in. The guitar is soooooo awesome.

[BigTrav415]

Ok, well here's my angry little story.

Last night I made a post around 10:38 I believe, and it turned out Riva had just made one as well, about the 5 things. I made my list, but I forgot the internet at my house auot-shutsdown at 10:40, so when I tried to post... nothing :angry:

I think I got them wrong anyway though, here were my guesses:


The DSotM prism

The heart represented the heartbeat in DSotM

Wish You Were Here

PF

And I thought the knight dude was accepting his death fro the angel, ala Great Gig.

[BigTrav415]

Yep, made a post about that a few pages back :thumb:


EDIT: Oops, double-post.

[DeusExMachina]

Any Colour you Like is amazing. I need to listen to DSOTM again soon.

[robo2448]

It's been ages since I've listened to DSOTM. I should put that on. I went through an Animals obsession, and since then I haven't listened to much Floyd except live stuff like DSOT, which I got recently.

[SynthesizedRudeboy]

Time is the greatest Pink Floyd song, amazing piece of artwork, DSOTM is. Took 1 n a half years to make 9 songs. Money is the most known, but it is a very great song, The raggity sax and the guitar after makes me get pumped :P

As for Comfortably Numb, it's alright, I'm not the biggest fan, Wish You Were Here has great vocals and Run Like Hell is one of their best instrumentals. I also like Welcome To Machine.

I believe you mean on the run, not run like hell. Both very good songs, but I'd have to say my favorite album is not darkside like most people. My favorite floyd album is the wall, and my favorite song would be money (I'm a bass guitar and a sax player :-P ), or echoes. or breathe.....too many good songs

[moaner]

I have an obscure theory that Meddle is actually a concept album.

I'll share it with you sometime.

I know what you mean, Everybody says DSOTM is so great everyoine should own a copy, and I do belive DSOTM is a sick album, But I like The Wall so much more

Share it now please

Yes, please do.

[DeusExMachina]

I'd love to see it sometime.

DSOTM > The Wall. I just find DSOTM to be so much more accessible.

Meh, I think The Wall is more of an experience.

[DeusExMachina]

Meh, I think The Wall is more of an experience.
I agree the Wall is more immense and powerful. However, in terms of pure music, I just think DSOTM is better.

[temporary]

I see your point, I think I'll give DSOTM another listen. I've been listening to mostly Animals and Meddle, lately.

[Distant Echoes]

Dont mean to change the subject, but while i was loking for aussie floyd tix, I noticed some concerts had a ticket limit and some didnt. Do ticket limits apply strictly at venues or does it depend on the concert? Tix go on sale this saturday and I was planning on getting about 8+, but dont want to invite more people then can come...info?

I also think DSOTM is better then the wall...The Wall tends to weaken sometimes like with fragments to hold the storyline together. It cant keep my interest all the way through; i guess its the flow. But the concept of DSOTM also is much more comparible to anybodys perspective too.

[robo2448]

I agree the Wall is more immense and powerful. However, in terms of pure music, I just think DSOTM is better.

I'll probably have to agree with that. I like WYWH and Animals more than either though.

[Skyler]

I agree with you 100 percent. The Wall is great, but there are so many other Pink Floyd albums that should be getting just as much, or more, recognition.

[BigTrav415]

Favorite album = Meddle

I'd really like to hear that theory, I can kind of see where you are coming from. Even though all the songs are completely different... they just feel... connected somehow. I'd really like to hear your opinion, maybe it will help me piece together whats in my mind.

BTW, I think DSotM > Wall. The Wall is a great album, but just too depressing for me. Great music can come from sadness, but really I'd rather be happy from listening to music. I'd definitely say the first half of Disc 2 is the best part by far though.

[thickasabrick]

The thing I love about DSOTM is that it's so many great songs and moments in music melted into about 43 minutes. It isn't like The Wall, where you have to basically set aside an entire evening to listen to it. DSOTM can fit into any part of my day with ease. I listened to it every night before I went to bed for about two months straight a while back....now I only listen to it about 3 or 4 times a week.
