The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[DeusExMachina]

HeavyRiva, thanks for putting it in much clearer (and nicer) words than me. Sorry everyone, didn't mean to be an *** about it, I was just kind of rushed.

[IAJP]

Yeah, I knew When The Tigers Broke Free was about Rodger's father... good song... very atmospheric.
I don't really like "When the tigers broke free"
It doesn't stand up to their better work very well.

[Lateralias]

I don't really like "When the tigers broke free"

Well I don't think it was intended to be a "Floyd Masterpeice", just a song with Roger expressing his memories of his father, more of a personal thing, but thats why I find it so good.

[funk_rock_jazz_drummer]

what are your thoughts about "the final cut"

I used to hate it, but i listened to it thoroughly and now im beggining to like it a lot more now.

You can easily notice the big difference with the absence of Roger's songwriting on that album, but it has some good points.. Fletcher Memorial Home is a good song.

[DeusExMachina]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: The Final Cut is teh lose.

It's a good album if you throw it in the general pool of albums, but... All other Pink Floyd Albums > The Final Cut.

[funk_rock_jazz_drummer]

yeah, its definatly more of a instrumental album then a lyric album.

well yeah. no ones gonna say that final cut is better then DSOTM or The Wall


/edit: 300th post! haha 700 more to go

[Lateralias]

Oh shoot, made an error.... I was thinking of Momentary Lapse of Reason... Final Cut is the last PF album with Roger in it... wait, is that the one with Fletcher Memorial Home on it? If so, then I didn't care for that album much, just the song I just mentioned.

[DeusExMachina]

I really think The Final Cut is a lyrical album, not a musical album. Lyrically, it's arguably the most mature thing to date by Waters. However, musically, it's very subpar.

[IAJP]

Yeah, I agree,
T'is very personal.

[realplayer47]

Personnaly, i think that The final cut is one of the best pink floyd album ever with the wall and WYWH.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, its a very divisive album. Some fans say its the best, some say its the worst.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

How many albums didn't have Roger on them? I know MLoR didn't, but are there any others?

[DeusExMachina]

Waters wasn't on The Division Bell. Also, if you're including live stuff, he wasn't on PULSE either.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Is the Division Bell worth while?

[DeusExMachina]

Yes. Yes. And YES! Even Roger Waters, the egomaniac who refused to sign a copy of The Wall for a fan because if had signatures from the other members, said it was good. It's great. It goes back more to their roots.

[Kingofdudes]

Im thinking of redoing the review for "The Wall" in the CD reviews section. I dont know how good it would be though :/

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

He acclaimed it and he wasn't even on it!?! Wow, that's pretty impressive. You'd think he would be bitter about it. I have Momentary Lapse of Reason and I'm really not that impressed with it. It's still better than most of the stuff out there, but not great like Floyd's other stuff.

So then is The Division Bell more proggy and less poppish than MLoR? Another question, is the album cover of The Division Bell those two Aztek looking statues facing each other?

[Kingofdudes]

Another question, is the album cover of The Division Bell those two Aztek looking statues facing each other?

Yes

[DeusExMachina]

Division Bell is great. Its got two instrumental tracks, and its really creative. I wouldn't say its super progressive, because the Pink Floyd sound had been done for 20+ years by then, so its hard for it to be "progressive." However, it definitely doesn't have that 80's pop feel of AMLOR. I highly recommend it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Allright, it shall be my next Floyd purchase after the Wall DVD. :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Excellent. The Wall DVD is also awesome.

[magicbus]

Also, the song WYWH isn't about Syd. It applies to him, sure, but its not actually about him. I'm in a rush, but I'll clarify later.

Finally. I agree with you on this one.

[guitrguy]

Yes. Yes. And YES! Even Roger Waters, the egomaniac who refused to sign a copy of The Wall for a fan because if had signatures from the other members, said it was good. It's great. It goes back more to their roots.
Thats is quite surprising.

[DeusExMachina]

Isn't it?

And Magicbus, glad to see you agree with me!

[magicbus]

Everybody's been saying that WYWH is about Syd, but only SOYCD was written about him. I've never really had time to explain this though. I'm glad you brought it up.


Oh, and I have those DT covers. AIM=rockshowguy56

[DeusExMachina]

I'm so IMing you right now to get them.

[guitrguy]

Are they the ones off of "A Change in Seasons"?

[magicbus]

Couldn't tell ya. Not into DT, just love these songs. Sounds just like Gilmour's solo.

[guitrguy]

Is one In the Flesh?

[DeusExMachina]

No. It's Comfortably Numb and Hey You.

[guitrguy]

oh ok
so its not what I was thinking.

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't listened to Hey You yet, but Comfortably Numb is a live recording. It's pretty good. The guitar playing is a VERY impressive replica of Gilmour, and the guy who sings Gilmour's part does a good job.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's pretty good. The guitar playing is a VERY impressive replica of Gilmour

Stupid Petrucci. He can do anything. :rolleyes: You wouldn't happen to have MSN IM would you?

[DeusExMachina]

No, sorry. I could email it to you if you have gmail, or anything else that takes big attachments.

At the end of Comfortably Numb, you hear bits of them covering other Pink Floyd songs... what Pink Floyd whores! :lol:

And Petrucci may be good at replicating Gilmour, but Gilmour is still better as far as I'm concerned.

[shawnson]

your thinking of the medley from the ACOS album with in the flesh, carry on wayward son, bohemian rhapsody, lovin' touchin' squeezin', cruise control and turn it on again. they did an awesome job on that. i never thought anyone could do gilmour's solo on comfortable numb, but i was proven wrong.

Ya thats what I was thinking of.

[Kingofdudes]

send CN to constipatedhack@gmail.com please

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

And Petrucci may be good at replicating Gilmour, but Gilmour is still better as far as I'm concerned.

Technically, Petrucci has the upper hand by far, but he can't bring nearly as much emotion through the speakers, so yes, I must agree with you.

[Lateralias]

The Dream Theater cover of Comfortably Numb is definitely worth a download, also check out Tool's cover of CN too... Good stuff.

[DeusExMachina]

Gilmour, I sent it. Do you want Hey You as well?

Yeah, Petrucci is technically more profficient, but Gilmour's playing is far better. Plus, Petrucci may be able to play Comfortably Numb, but could he write it? I doubt it.

[shawnson]

yeah, petrucci can write shredding solos, but not the type you see in comfortably numb or another brick in the wall

[Kingofdudes]

Gilmour, I sent it. Do you want Hey You as well?

Yeah, Petrucci is technically more profficient, but Gilmour's playing is far better. Plus, Petrucci may be able to play Comfortably Numb, but could he write it? I doubt it.

please :)

[Epiphender]

I think Shine On You Crazy Diamond has some creepy lyrics:
"remember when you were young/you shone like the sun/.../now there's a look in your eyes/like black holes in the sky"
pretty much all their stuff that has to do with lost time is kind of eerie to me.

Holy carp I came in the middle of a conversation...well I only ever read the first post so yeah.

[kas_ofi]

i just wanna clarify that dream theater did those covers in their last american tour with queensryche... petrucci plays the second solo on comf numb. first one is played by the guitarists of 'ryche.

[Kingofdudes]

Hey Deus, was that labled correctly? It doesnt sound like DreamtTheater, and it sounds like one of the Comfortably Numbs on DSoT or Pulse. Also that Run like Hell at the end was definitely Pink Floyd on Pulse.

[veggie 3.14]

I'm listening to Money right now. Great song.

[guitarded_chuck]

*listening to Meddle*

This album owns. "Fearless" has to be their most under rated song. "Meddle" probably the most under rated album.

[DeusExMachina]

Hey Deus, was that labled correctly? It doesnt sound like DreamtTheater, and it sounds like one of the Comfortably Numbs on DSoT or Pulse. Also that Run like Hell at the end was definitely Pink Floyd on Pulse.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you. I listened to it pretty late last night, and it was sent to me by magicbus (I think). So, it could very well be a mislabeled recording from Pulse or DSOT. I don't have DSOT, so it might be from that, and I haven't listened to Pulse in awhile. However, I don't think it was the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb. Didn't sound all that familiar to me.

Sorry its late, but I'll send you Hey You right now.

Edit: Actually, I won't. I just set up my new computer today, completely spaced. So, when I get a chance to copy all my old music to this thing, I'll send it your way. If you're really impatient, I believe magicbus put his AIM screen name up there, so you can IM him and have him send it to you.

[6Stringer]

My favorite Floyd song has gotta be "Have A Cigar" or "Us and Them" Their greatest album IMO is DSOTM because no matter how many times I listen to it, it never ceases to amaze me. WYWH is a very close second though.

[magicbus]

I just found these songs on Soulseek, they could've been mislabeled. And as for favorite Floyd song, Any Colour You Like, closely followed by SOYCD.

[guitrguy]

My favorite is Pigs(three Different Ones)

[Woodstock]

I love Any Colour You Like. That would be my favorite song also.

[guitarded_chuck]

Hmm, too many favorites to pick one. And some you almost can't compare, even though it's the same band. For example, one of my favorites is Interstellar Overdrive, but you really can't compare it to another favorite, Dogs.

[realplayer47]

Pink floyd's songs are all really great, they all have a little something special: lyrics, guitars or anything else fir me they are all good

[slug4k]

who here thinks that the scisor sisters should be hung for their cover of comfortably numb? Oh and bike rules!

[slug4k]

god every1 is so boring!

[slug4k]

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Right now, I think my favorite Pink Floyd song would be Wish You Were Here. :D It varies with what mood I'm in as well. Some of my other faves are Pigs(Three different Ones) and Breathe In The Air.

[Schyma]

I just found these songs on Soulseek, they could've been mislabeled. And as for favorite Floyd song, Any Colour You Like, closely followed by SOYCD.


What is your user-name on Soulseek?

[Deano_Geetar]

Man the guitar solo to comfortably numb, time and another brick in the wall kick soo much ***! Dave Gilmour is a ****ing god! Rock on man \m/

[Lateralias]

Favorite Pink Floyd song would be.... ok this is a hard choice, but I find myself listening to Breathe, Echoes and Dogs alot, so if I HAD to pick three, thats them, and no, narrowing them down to one would be impossible... I really like Us and Them too... and Goodbye Blue Sky!

[DeusExMachina]

Picking your favorite Pink Floyd song is like.... I don't know. Something thats impossible and really not very representative. Maybe being a politician? They're all so good, its impossible to choose (the Pink Floyd songs, not the politicians)

[guitrguy]

Ain't that the truth. I am that way with the Beatles.

[magicbus]

I love Any Colour You Like. That would be my favorite song also.

Good choice :thumb:

I listened to The Wall again today. I decided one of the creepiest songs on there (not THE creepiest, but creepy nonetheless), is Waiting For The Worms. Not only the increasing yelling at the end, which gave me chills, but also the lyrics. The whole dictator thing going on there. Comfortably Numb and The Great Gig In the Sky also recently gave me chills, which is good cause I stopped doing that for a while. I thought I was emotionless to music.

Now I'm gonna go watch the movie again cause I want to see the animation.

And yea I know, its near impossible to pick your favorite Floyd song, but Any Colour You Like is just so psychadelically awesome, and it brings memories of the earliest Floyd I listened to.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, Any Colour You Like is really **** good. Definitely doesn't get the credit it deserves.

[Lateralias]

Yeah, Any Colour You Like is really **** good. Definitely doesn't get the credit it deserves.

Very underrated track... the title actually comes to play when I listen that song, it reminds me of an endless array of colors... Pink Floyd know how to give the listener a good visual. :)

[DeusExMachina]

Most definitely. Pink Floyd is better than any band (in my opinion) at presenting emotions through sound.

[Johnny B. Good]

Moody Blues are pretty good too

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, I love the Moody Blues. But they don't do it so well with just instruments, in my opinion. At least, based on what I've heard of them.

[Johnny B. Good]

They have to use an orchestra a lot to help them whereas Floyd did it with their own instruments

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah. Either way, its good stuff. Moody Blues definitely don't get enough respect on these forums.

Anyways, back on topic...
Atom Heart Mother almost never gets mentioned in this thread. What's everyone's opinion of it? I think its really good, great instrumental stuff.

[Johnny B. Good]

It's very good but I here little about Piper at the Gates OF Dawn, or i'm ignorant

[Lateralias]

Yeah. Either way, its good stuff. Moody Blues definitely don't get enough respect on these forums.

Anyways, back on topic...
Atom Heart Mother almost never gets mentioned in this thread. What's everyone's opinion of it? I think its really good, great instrumental stuff.

I was really close to buying Atom Heart Mother the other day.. but didn't... it'll be my next Floyd CD purchase though.

[guitarjunkie1188]

dude ,I was listening to pink floyd on my friends porch in the dark. It was awesome, almost intoxicating. No it was intoxicating.

What song/s did ya listen to? :)

[Riva]

So, I got The Wall for Christmas! Hurrah! My formal review comes later, seeing as I have only seen bits and pieces of it.

[magicbus]

So, I got The Wall for Christmas! Hurrah! My formal review comes later, seeing as I have only seen bits and pieces of it.

I watched it last night. :thumb:
Let us know how you like it.


Also relating to Pink Floyd, I got Ummagumma as one of my cds.

[magicbus]

Cd or DVD? And if Dvd, would you recommend it?

[Kingofdudes]

Just the CD version...I don't know about the DVD obviously, but for anyone who doesn't have the CD, and is thinking about buying a Floyd live album, I can definitely recommend this. I wasn't sure if it would really work without Waters, but it really does.

Pulse is great :thumb: The solo in Comfortably numb is orgasm inducing :eek:


For Christmas I got:

The Division Bell
Live at Pompeii
WYWH Shirt

I just might pick up the DVD version of Pulse sometime this week :thumb:

Echoes is amazing on Live at Pompeii

[mistermiagi]

Having not bothered to read back further than this page, excuse me if I am repeating.

Considering the topic seems to be favourite tracks/albums, I feel obliged to bring up Wish You Were Here. This is a really incredible album. This album is the perfect follow up to Dark Side Of The Moon, providing the same genius - but in a totally different way. Dark Side dealt with life, death and madness - or at least this is my interpretation. Wish You Were Here deals with much the same issues, but instead of approaching them from an analytical perspective, making a commentary, the Floyd are conveying their actual experiences. The death (and mourning) of Syd Barret is, of course, the theme of the album at first glance, but upon closer inspection the same issues as Dark Side become clear - and the Floyd shows us how it is to actually experience life, in particular death - and the madness in between.

Listening to Wish You Were Here, you are transported into the minds of The Floyd, and it is described, in the most exquisite way, what it is like to live, feel death in your close vicinity, and witness the madness which fills the gap.

[TheFinalCut]

The death (and mourning) of Syd Barret


Umm...Syd Barrett Isn't Dead... And Wish You Were Here was talking about Syd Barrett's condition Mentally. The story goes that when Floyd was recording wish you were here, they saw Syd at the recording studio and he was in shambles, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, yea...

[DeusExMachina]

Pulse is great :thumb: The solo in Comfortably numb is orgasm inducing :eek:


For Christmas I got:

The Division Bell
Live at Pompeii
WYWH Shirt

Do you have a link to view the WYWH shirt? I love WYWH... and I NEED to get Live at Pompeii. Now that I've got some christmas money, I'm gonna buy that and a couple of the Floyd albums I still don't have.

[Distant Echoes]

i got Live at pompeii and a HUGE DSOTM poster for the basement wall. It almost takes up the whole thing. I didnt watch the DVD yet, but i will when the company leaves.

[magicbus]

Ok for anybody who got the Pompeii DVD for christmas, please tell me if I should buy it. As I said before, I haven't been able to find the VHS yet, and might end up just buying the DVD. So tell me if its good or not. Thanks.

[Kingofdudes]

The DVD has the original version in its special features.

It is interesting to actually see them play "Careful with that axe, Eugene".

[Prince of Darkness]

David Gilmour is a much better singer than Roger Waters


Did Roger Waters sing on P.U.L.S.E.?

[Prince of Darkness]

Waters has an American Voice..........................

[Kingofdudes]

Waters has an American Voice..........................

Have you heard his interviews? He sounds very british(You can even hear it in his singing)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/kingfoodguy/shirt.jpg

picture of the shirt for Deus

[DeusExMachina]

Hahaha. That's a rad shirt! Did you take a picture of your reflection?

As for the voice thing, I've noticed that most British singers tend to sound American when singing. Maybe its just me, though. When they talk, you can definitely tell though.

[EightMilesHigh]

I just got The Wall for Christmas, it's amazing.

[ThrashHead]

I heard Gilmour is going to be starting up a tour soon. Does anyone know if it's going to Floyd, or like a solo thing?

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

I jsut got a copy of one of floyd's early "the man and the journey" concerts today from 9/17/69. It's so incredible. I wonder why they didn't record all those songs in studio form.

[Kingofdudes]

Some songs it is easier to tell then others, like in Comfortably numb.

[DeusExMachina]

True. But in general, I think most British singers sound American.

[ThrashHead]

Alright thanks man.

[DeusExMachina]

Floyd tour = very unlikely.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I was wondering to my self today..How much does Gilmour sing? I haven't ever really tried to differentiate Water's and Gilmour's voices, so could someone mention the songs that Gilmour sings on?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

picture of the shirt for Deus
:lol: My mom got me that shirt for X-mas. Very retro.

I can't beleive she went into Hot Topic. :confused:

[Riva]

Gilmour sings on all of DSOT and PULSE. Roger wasn't with the band at the time.

Gilmour is also the doctor in Comfortably Numb.

And I am hesitant to wear a Floyd shirt, for fear of being labelled a poser. :upset:

[Kingofdudes]

http://liquidblue.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/tshirts.detail/cat/rock/subcat/pink_floyd/CODE/11844/david-gilmour.html

I will be buying this shirt soon :thumb:

/sleep

[Riva]

Not if I buy it first, you bastard. :D

So, yeah, out of interest, if you had the money, who would want to visit me in Aus? :p

[Tanglewood]

Words cannot explain how good Pink Floyd are.
I'll rap my reply with 3 words: Freakin' well brilliant!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Now THAT is a badass shirt. And, for the record, I would visit you Riva. But then again, I don't have the money, so who cares. Would you visit me in..Mabton, Washington, United States. (Yes, it is the home of the first US mad cow case. :D )

[Prince of Darkness]

Is there a P.U.L.S.E DVD?

[DeusExMachina]

Riva, I thought Waters was the doctor in CN? Isn't Gilmour doing the chorus, "there is no pain you are receding" and all that jazz? Oh, and I would definitely visit you if I had the cash. And I am so going to get that t-shirt. My god. I wants it. It's my precious.

Kombucha Mushroom Mofo, is that at all near Seattle? I used to live in Seattle, just moved out a couple months ago.

[Prince of Darkness]

The Wall is a Great Album, I love it. But If Gilmour was singing on it, it would be ten times better. Agree?

[lunch998]

The Wall is a Great Album, I love it. But If Gilmour was singing on it, it would be ten times better. Agree?

Disagree, Waters voice better fits the cynical, depressing, dark nature of the album. The combination of their voices is well done, but you need both of them.

[Broken Arrow]

Disagree, Waters voice better fits the cynical, depressing, dark nature of the album. The combination of their voices is well done, but you need both of them.
I agree. Rogers voice is so much better for the mood of the album. The parts where Gilmour sings his voice fits the mood better.

[Kingofdudes]

Is there a P.U.L.S.E DVD?

Yes, check amazon.com for it.

[DeusExMachina]

Gilmour does sing on it...and to DeusExMachina, I thought that Gilmour did the "There is no pain, you are receding" parts of Comfortably Numb as well.

Yeah, I thought so, but Riva said Gilmour did the doctor part, so I was confused. Whatev.

And no, I don't think The Wall would have been better if Gilmour had done the singing. I just can't imagine anyone but Waters singing Run Like Hell, or In The Flesh.

[Broken Arrow]

I can imagine Bob Geldof singing In the Flesh and In the Flesh? because he does on the movie.

[Lateralias]

I can imagine Bob Geldof singing In the Flesh and In the Flesh? because he does on the movie.

Bob Geldof really fits great as the "Pink" character in The Wall, and his voice doesn't sound that far off from Roger's on "In The Flesh".

[DeusExMachina]

Eh, he sings, but I don't think he does that great of a job. He just tries to make it too flashy, in my opinion. Not flashy, necessarily, but I don't like the way he sings it.

[Lateralias]

Eh, he sings, but I don't think he does that great of a job. He just tries to make it too flashy, in my opinion. Not flashy, necessarily, but I don't like the way he sings it.

He doesn't really sing it on "In The Flesh?"... well kinda.. but I see it as more of a speech or something the second time, because he commands certain races (blacks) and lifestyles (gays) to leave... I don't know, I just don't see it as a song as much as the first In The Flesh.

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

Yes, check amazon.com for it.

They only have bootlegged versions. Real thing isn't out.

[magicbus]

Gilmour sings chorus and Waters sings verse on Comfortably Numb.

The first time I watched The Wall, I was thinking In The Flesh would be just like the song. I was a little suprised and kinda disappointed when Geldof started singing cause he sounded too exaggerated. I guess I got used to it by the second song, but it definently caught me off guard the first time.

Gilmour, just to confirm, the pompeii dvd has the entire old version? or just parts of it? I'm just concerned cause I wanna make sure that it has everything that's on the old version. It bugs me when stuff gets left out.

[Lateralias]

OK...since I've never seen The Wall, does Geldof actually sing on it, or does the film simply contain the songs off The Wall, as sung by Waters and Gilmour? :confused:

Bob Geldof sings on both of the In The Flesh songs, and I'm positive that's all he sings, rest is all from the band as normal. And The Wall DVD has all the songs on the album plus When The Tigers Broke Free and What Shall We Do Now (which are both great songs in my opinion), Hey You isn't "in" the movie, but if you get the DVD you can watch it as a special feature...

Guess who got the DVD? :D

[Riva]

Correction: You guys are right. I was listening to DSOT when I made that post. Roger is the doctor, Gilmour is the "mysterious voice".

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Bastard. I need the DVD. My mom "banned" from purchasing anything in December, b/c of Xmas..But now I have money saved for The Wall DVD and the rest of the Floyd albums I don't have. :D

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Kombucha Mushroom Mofo, is that at all near Seattle? I used to live in Seattle, just moved out a couple months ago.

It's about 3 hours southeast of Seattle. Are you coming back?

[GnelF]

Division bell all the way.

High Hopes, Marooned, Poles Apart, all off of that album are amazing amazing songs. AMAZING.

Gilmours just amazing.

once again. Amazing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I was just listening to High Hopes. That song is freaking great. What do you guys think of the rest of Division Bell?

[Kingofdudes]

They only have bootlegged versions. Real thing isn't out.

Oh shi, you are correct.

[RNR]

:eek:. That looks awesome.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

65 bucks! US?!?!

And I thought The Wall DVD was expensive :confused:

[DeusExMachina]

It's about 3 hours southeast of Seattle. Are you coming back?

Probably not to live, sadly. But I'm going to visit during spring break.

Also, on The Wall DVD, they butchered Mother. And I didn't like how they superimposed the "we don't need no education" chant over the solo in ABITW pt. 2. But, it's still definitely a good buy.

[Riva]

Well, I have just watched the DVD of the Wall, and can I say I was both impressed and upset. Impressed with the sheer artistic beauty of it all, but upset with both the lack of a few key songs, and also, as Deus said, the suprisingly badly twisted version of Mother.

However, over all it was an excellent view.

Yeah, the first few views it kinda dissapoints, especially when I find out "Hey You" isn't on the actual movie (it's part of special features). But the more I watched it, the more I liked it, and now I love it.

[DeusExMachina]

It is great. It really increased my understanding of the album, and the whole story behind it.

[magicbus]

I got the Saucerful of Secrets biography book. Now I have to read it!

[DeusExMachina]

It's very good. I was looking for that new Nick Mason book today (it is out already, isn't it?) but I couldn't find it anywhere.

[guitarded_chuck]

It's very good. I was looking for that new Nick Mason book today (it is out already, isn't it?) but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Yup, I got it for Christmas. Pretty awesome book. I never thought Nick would be such a funny guy. :thumb:

Also, I asked for any Floyd album besides PATGOD, DSOTM and WYWH, since I have them. What did I get? The Final Cut. Twice. I'm going to take one back and exchange it for Animals or Atom Heart Mother.

[guitarded_chuck]

Animals is a great album, probably my favorite after Dark Side. But I have it on vinyl, and do listen to it quite a bit. And for The Wall, I just don't care for it. I'm not a huge fan of Roger's taking over, and The Wall is basically his. (the reason why I was rather disapointed of the two Final Cuts.) My friend has it on DVD also, and I can watch it whenever I please.
Atom Heart Mother is quite under rated I think. Fat Old Sun is such a great song. Gilmour is great on it. It's interesting and experimental and I like it.

[Lateralias]

I am quite anxious to hear Atom Heart Mother, it'll be my next Floyd purchase. I heard it has some brass instruments on it though, sounds very experimental.

[Kingofdudes]

The title track to AHM is quite... interesting.

Fat Old Sun is quite a mellow track(even for Pink Floyd) but still good.

[magicbus]

Ok, I've decided to get Live at Pompeii today, and maybe PATGOD. How is Obscured By Clouds? I always see that at the store.

[lukins69]

One time was comfortably numb while I was listening to Comfortably Numb

[lukins69]

All their albums are great.....especially The wall, Dark Side, and Animals.

[lukins69]

Is there anybody in here?

[Modestbob]

Atom Heart Mother is real good, i got the cd on my pc. But yea the first track has like a ochrestra playing through the whole song.

[Lateralias]

Obscured by Clouds is a great underrated CD, it's got some Meddle sounding stuff on it (not like Echoes though). I'd recommend it if you already have Meddle.

Yeah, quite annoying it is, and usually the Pink Floyd thread doesn't have much problems with it too... well if that lukins guy keeps that ideal posting up, he'll be banned so I'm hoping we won't have to deal with that again.

[Broken Arrow]

I want to know if Obsucred by Clouds is better then Atom Heart Mother. I have heard most of Obscured by Clouds and though it was very good.

[Lateralias]

I want to know if Obsucred by Clouds is better then Atom Heart Mother. I have heard most of Obscured by Clouds and though it was very good.

Well, I can give you my input and agree with you that Obscured by Clouds is a great and actually more obscured (hehe) album than others.. but I myself haven't heard Atom Heart Mother, but it seems to be talked about in here alot lately.

[Broken Arrow]

Well that's why I wondering because I haven't heard AHM and it was being talked about.

[Modestbob]

if anyone wants AHM you can IM me at uglyCasanovabob

[Woodstock]

Atom Heart Mother really isn't that good. The s/t song is ok, but nothing else is very good.

[Broken Arrow]

Meh I'd still like to hear it. My AIm is screwed up so i Can't do file transfers.

[magicbus]

Turns out I got PATGOD and will be getting Pompeii in about a week. I have Meddle too, so I'll probably check out Obscured by Clouds.

[funk_rock_jazz_drummer]

is the pompei DVD worth buying?

[DeusExMachina]

I think Atom Heart Mother is good. Also, I just bought the Live in Pompeii DVD!!! *does happy dance* Now I'm going to order that David Gilmour t-shirt that the link was put up to awhile ago. Now, off to watch Pompeii. I'll give my input when I'm done with it.

[magicbus]

I really hope I'm getting Pompeii soon. I get excited the more I think about it.

[DeusExMachina]

Get the Pompeii DVD! It gets my official seal of approval.

[Modestbob]

the Pompeii DVD is good, i got the Directors cut for christmas. although the directors cut isnt a big deal they just add some shots of landscapes and some kinda weak computer animation.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Best avatar ever. ^^ Rep'd for cool avatar.

I'm pissed right now, because yesterday, I went to Best Buy to purchase The Wall. Came out empty handed. Then I went to Blockbuster to rent it, they didn't have it either. America needs more Pink Floyd fans.

[DeusExMachina]

I got the wall at some old used record store. You probably won't find it at a mainstream record store. And if you are referring to the movie, I would suggest Amazon. Actually, they were selling it at Barnes & Noble for awhile too...

[guitarded_chuck]

Pompeii is a great DVD. Profiles an interesting point of time for Pink Floyd. Still seeking their own musical identity, and on the verge of stardom with DSOTM. Some great songs on it, like One Of These Days, Careful With That Axe Eugene, and of course Echoes.

[DeusExMachina]

A lot of the footage on the DVD is really cool, like of them walking around Pompeii. I really enjoyed it. I was just expecting the concert, but it's actually a lot more than that.

These are some of my favorite songs. I can't get enough of Floyd's songs that are 15 minute mostly instrumental masterpieces. Stuff like Echoes and the entire first disc of Ummagumma. I love those ones.

[DeusExMachina]

I really love Pink Floyd's longer songs. I can't think of a single over 10 minute long Pink Floyd song that I don't like. Then again, I can only think of a couple Pink Floyd songs period that I don't like (The Final Cut comes to mind)

[magicbus]

Yea they're aren't many songs that I don't like. There's a few cds that I've never heard though (AHM, The Final Cut, More, Division Bell), they seem like ones that might not interest me. But you don't know until you try it, I guess.

[Sam]

^ AHM is great, I got my old AHM shirt for xmas!

But yea, the Pompeii DVD is great, all the songs on it are great, it has that one original blues song, made for the DVD on it too, which is cool. It was funny how unresponsive the band was to some of the interview questions.

[Kingofdudes]

My new manager looks like Roger Waters :amaze:

atom heart mother is tops

meddle and dark side are my favourites

the pompeii dvd is fantastic. i would probably rate the song echoes as one of my favourite songs by anyone, ever

[DeusExMachina]

I love Echoes. I kind of wished they hadn't split it up on the DVD though.

[lukins69]

I got the wall dvd for christmas

[lukins69]

The first time i ever seen it was this summer. i was on shrooms. It rocked.

[lukins69]

Hello, is there anybody in there?

Mother is one of my favorite songs

They split Echoes up on the DVD? nooooooooo... well, I guess it's not that bad since they're both still on there, but that is the ultimate PF song to me, and I'd love to hear it untouched... do you know to what parts they are split up on?

After the best part of Echoes, when Dave solos to like a funk sounding part, they stop it. It works fine though. Watching all of Echoes would probably get boring.

Yeah, I like the funky part of Echoes the most.

[Kingofdudes]

The funky part is so much better on Live at Pompeii, and I agree it is one of the better parts of the songs

/me learned a few guitar parts from Echoes last night :cool:

[lonleybassist]

i like shine on, and money i can play it in the bass

[magicbus]

Oh man I love the funky parts. This rules man. My favorite funky part ever in on SOYCD pts VI - IX . Its got like the coolest chord progression I've ever heard, and tone itself is enough to make it rule. Ok, listening to it now, the whole funkiness starts at about 6:30, but the awesome chords are at 7:30. DUDES. If you have this song on your computer listen now! THIS RULES.

[Lateralias]

Yeah, the funky parts are the best of Echoes, definitely agreed there... but as most people probably would say that Echoes gets boring, I disagree, that song holds my attention very well, and once I start it, I can't stop until it's over. Another favorite part of mine in Echoes is the progression after the whole strange interlude... with the keyboards coming in around 14:55 or so, and then the guitar comes in and that whole part goes to about 18:42, oh gosh, I love that part, I don't know why but it's awesome.

[magicbus]

Oh yea I know what you mean. That guitar part around 18 something is great. It sounds so enormous, like it just appears outta nowhere. Amazing.

I love that part too... the band is so great at just throwing some random funkyness here and there you know :p . I love that jazzy type keyboard on that part you mentioned too.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I went to one of my local music stores looking for a guitar for my cousin. I ended up playing Money on bass. :upset: It was fun.

[the_zeppelin_volta]

Confortably numb is kick *** on The Wall DVD ... by Roger Waters, even if it is not Pink FLoyd but Roger Waters solo, it is great.
And Waters is a genious, and an actor too.

[magicbus]

Yea I don't play bass, I play guitar, but whenever I go to Guitar Center I find myself playing Money. (and dazed and confused /not floyd LOL :eek: )

[Distant Echoes]

Im stoppin by Sam Ash Music tommorrow for a new Amp (which i have no idea what to even consider), and i plan on playing a bunch of floyd songs since thats the main reason im upgrading to better equipment. Hopefully a new amp will get rid of all that frikkin distortion i get, especially during the money solo.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yea I don't play bass, I play guitar, but whenever I go to Guitar Center I find myself playing Money. (and dazed and confused /not floyd LOL :eek: )

Nor do I, but it's a **** good song to know on bass. :D I was also playing WYWH today, but no one was impressed with my guitar skills. :upset:

FYI: I ordered The Wall DVD on Amazon today. :cool:

[CarRamRod]

Yo, anybody who likes Pink Floyd should look into getting their live cd "is there anybody out there" Its the wall live, and the only pink floyd live cd (besides ummagumma) to feature the classic pink floyd line up. It also has tracks you can't hear on the studio album like "What shall we do now" (p.s. this is my first post so if i messed up be kind :)

I have it on Rhapsody, Mother is amazing on that album.

Welcome to mx :wave:

[CaptainWaits]

still can't decide which is better

The Wall....or.....Dark Side of the Moon

[magicbus]

I agree with WYWH being the first best, but then I'd put DSOTM, Meddle, and The Wall, all tied for one spot. Its so hard trying to rank their albums! I think they're all great.

Also, I'm going to a new years party later and getting my final christmas present. I think its Pompeii cause my dad told me not to buy it, as if he knew I'd already be getting it...

Welcome to MX. I love Is There Anybody Out There. I kind of wish they didn't split up some of the tracks the way they did, but its still awesome. Especially the extended guitar solo in ABITW pt. 2.

As for Echoes, I don't get bored by it at all when I listen to the whole thing. I really wish they'd kept it together for the live in pompeii DVD. And my favorite part is the instrumental section after the ambient breakdown, but before the third verse. Right as the keyboard pinging starts coming back. That section is unbelievable.

[lunch998]

Ok I finally got the Wall movie. Haven't seen it yet, maybe later tonight.

Did you get it on DVD? If you did, then watch the documentary afterwards, it helps make sense out of the movie.

True that. My fave Water's bass lines are in that part of Shine On.

I'm reading Inside Out lately, and Nick talks about recording Shine On, and when Syd came into the studio for a visit at Abbey Road. He said that the most effective part of the album was when Shine On fades out, and Rick plays on keyboards and trumpet, part of See Emily Play. I never noticed it untill I read that. Have you guys?

[RNR]

Ok I finally got the Wall movie. Haven't seen it yet, maybe later tonight.

:thumb: finally :p

[PinkFloyd]

I orded the Wall Bootleg from Ebay. It's wicked. Whenever you get a bootleg, you get the real bamd. DVDs can be edited, polished, the best takes are put on, etc. But even though the DVD has shotty camera work, it's really cool. Gilmour messes up pretty badly on the Cnumb solo though...

[Kingofdudes]

I have always wanted to see video of them doing the Wall live, maybe I will try t ofind a bootleg of it.

/me is watching David Gilmour In concert

[DeusExMachina]

I should look for bootlegs. I've got quite a few, but none of Pink Floyd. Well, time to change that.

[magicbus]

/me finally got Live at Pompeii. Its even better than I ever could imagine. Man the funky part on Echoes part 1 rules so much. I love Gilmour's guitaring on that part.

[Otherside]

I have a question for you guys about Animals. I was reading the "which ones pink" "book" that said that Animals was about comparing EVERYONE to three different types of animals. Is this really what it was about?

I thought it was comparing everyone in the cooperate business world to the animals, not to everyone .If you notice, the booklet insert always featured pictures of the large manufacturing plant. It would be very pretentious to try and categorize everyone in the world to four types of people. What are your thoughts on this?

[lunch998]

[DeusExMachina]

What do people prefer, SOYCD parts 1-5, or parts 6-9? I personally prefer 1-5, but thats just me.

[lunch998]

I think I like the second part better. It seems like most prefer the first part while the second one gets overlooked.

I watched the Wall Dvd today, and I wasn't all that impressed. Decent but not up to my expectations. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for the Wall.

[DeusExMachina]

Hmm... It's a pretty divisive DVD. I know a lot of people who love it, I know a lot don't like it much at all. I personally like it.

[lunch998]

Hmm... It's a pretty divisive DVD. I know a lot of people who love it, I know a lot don't like it much at all. I personally like it.

The animation was great. I'm going to watch it again when I'm really in the mood for The Wall.

[DeusExMachina]

I love the animations. I really like what they did with The Trial.

[magicbus]

I really like The Trial too, but my favorite animation is on Empty Spaces. I love the part when the gun turns into the needle and all that stuff. Real cool.

And yea I like SOYCD 6-9 a lot, because it has funkiness to it, and a really cool slide solo. I really love the guitar parts in 1-5 though, so I'd probably say I like that better.

I've been trying to play Echoes after seeing it on Pompeii, but I can't really get the part where it turns funky and Gilmour puts on all the distortion. Its like he changed the scale from the first half of the song. That part's real cool too.

[bennyl]

And yea I like SOYCD 6-9 a lot, because it has funkiness to it, and a really cool slide solo. I really love the guitar parts in 1-5 though, so I'd probably say I like that better.


In 6-9, when the funky part starts, I'm never sure of this: Is the main line being played by roger or Rick on synth? 'cause I hear another bass in the background, but it seems that Rick can't be playing the sharp piano part and the synth line at the same time??

[Lateralias]

What do people prefer, SOYCD parts 1-5, or parts 6-9? I personally prefer 1-5, but thats just me.

I love the guitar in 1-5, but then 6-9 has the awesome funkyness part.. it hard to choose, but I'd say 1-5... I love the intro guitar solo :)

If you're talking about the line that starts at 7:07, I think that is synth, because it sounds too high to be played on bass. Then when the really high synth part starts, I'm thinking they just overdubbed the same line for a little, then let it fade out.

[Kingofdudes]

I've been trying to play Echoes after seeing it on Pompeii, but I can't really get the part where it turns funky and Gilmour puts on all the distortion. Its like he changed the scale from the first half of the song. That part's real cool too.

My problem with playing that song is doing the high fret bends without muting the string :-/

[magicbus]

Do you know how to play it though? or have a tab of the whole song?

[Kingofdudes]

I've memorized a few licks from it, but I still need the tab to play most of it

[DeusExMachina]

I have a pretty good powertab of all of Echoes. But, it's got like, an unbelievably large number of guitar parts. He's got six different guitars set up, plus a bass. Although, at most 3 of the guitars are playing at any one time, and the keyboard part is tabbed as a guitar, so it probably is possible to play it on one guitar to make it sound decent.

[Distant Echoes]

Ive been working On Another Brick in the wall - All the parts From I - The Happiest Day of our Lives - II - III - since i just got exposed to the magic of Delay on my new amp. I plan on learning echoes very soon, or some of the riffs at least. I read the chords on that funky part from the Dvd and played it and it sounded pretty sweet, but i dont plan on learning the whole song...thats a huge dedication

[bennyl]

None of it is too hard. Gilmour doesn't make really complex solos. Nothing much harder than ABITW part 2, which is loads of fun to play.

[Gossamer175]

I recently picked up " A Saucer Full of Secrets". I can't believe how underrated this album is. I especially like Let There Be More Light and Corporal Clegg.

[travislausch]

I got the "The Wall" tab book for Christmas!!!! Yay!!!! It shall provide me with years of playing joy. I've also seen a "Wish You Were Here" book. Do any other Floyd tab books exist?

[delicate_sound_of_thunder]

i have the wall,dsotm,animals,more,obscured by clouds, echoes,amlor, and wywh which album should i get next? i was thinking ummagumma but im not sure

[Schyma]

Nice collection you've got there. :thumb: I'd say get The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn next, then Meddle, then The Divison Bell. The first two of those in particular are really good stuff, and The Division Bell, although it lacks Roger Waters, has some moments that rank with the very best that the band made. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn has a very different feel from their later stuff, but every Floyd fan should hear it, if for no other reason than Syd Barrett. Check out some live stuff as well, like Pulse. :)

Anyone other than me perfer Syd Barrett opposed to Roger Waters?

[delicate_sound_of_thunder]

should i get pulse b4 ummagumma or viceversa

[Collis]

I prefer Pulse but both are good .... and I wish I had been at one of the concerts included in that tour .. my Mum and Dad went and said that it was the best concert they have ever been to.

I am going to watch there supposed best tribute act though 'The Aussie Pink Floyd' at the MEN in England this year :D

Pink Floyd has some great sax parts in their music ;).

[DeusExMachina]

One song I love on The Final Cut is The Gunners Dream, just for that unbelievable transition into the sax solo. It's pants creaming good. I say buying the album was worthwhile, if for nothing other than that song. Although some other songs on it are fairly decent as well.

was banned for 14 days. Something like 8 left...

How's the album Meddle? Like seriously, I've heard songs off of it but how's it as a whole?

Brillant, if you can handle the dreaminess and laid-back feel. San Tropez is quite good, as is Echoes (all 23 minutes of it). Of course, I am somewhat biased, seeing as I am a Floyd Fanboy.
