The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[DeusExMachina]

If Waters was a virtuso bassist, I probably wouldn't like Pink Floyd any more or less. With songs that good, I could care less if the bass was elaborated on a bit more. Plus Waters wrote the bass for money. Has Gilmour ever written a riff so catchy/popular/sucessfull? NO! Therefor, Waters>Gilmour as a musician as well as songwritting!

The only reason why they showed Mason playing in Pompei is because they lost the other footage of the band and had nothing else.

Also, check out December's Guitar World mag. It has a rather extended interview with PF concerning the tensions juring The Wall and the POV of different band members.

One quote I don't agree with from Gilmour is how "Roger destroyed Nick and Rick as musicians". Personally that's just not possible. So, you got kicked out of a band in 1979/1980 and by 1987, because of that terrible ordeal, you're not able to come up with any keyboard parts for the album! Blame it on Roger! Seriously, that doesn't make anysense whatsoever. Wright hasn't put out anything worth while in over 25 years (last sparks of creativity probably off Animals) and all this is attributed to Roger kicking him out of Pink Floyd and being a "hardass". I fail to see how being kicked out of a band will automatically make you loose all sense of musical creativity, even decades after the fact.

Also, hate to double post, but to "royally burn you," as you so eloquently put it.

I see a sum total of 4 exclamation points in those two posts combined. That sure is an "exclamation point after every sentence." Also, I see one outrageous claim. Which is the one that Waters > Gilmour at musicianship. Now, when one outrageous claim is placed in a group with a bunch of otherwise lucid statements, how are we supposed to just assume that you're being sarcastic? Oh right, because "I can tell you were implying a sarcastic tone to your speech."

[PinkFloyd]

I had no clue you were being sarcastic. I don't think anyone else did, either. You very rarely post in this thread, so I have no idea what your online speech patterns, or style of sarcasm are. Also, I would hardly call what I did "getting worked up" over it. But, whatever. You seem to have interesting ideas of what is "obvious sarcasm" and what is "getting worked up." Now, I don't remember what I said exactly, but I'm fairly certain I didn't say that Comfortably Numb is "gilmour's song." I said he wrote the music. Which is true. He also wrote the vocal melody for the chorus (I know this because I read a biography.) And he also wrote the part of the song that really makes it famous; the guitar solos. All guitar solos were written by David Gilmour. So, even when Waters claims all the writing credit to songs, chances are Gilmour was actually largely involved with it. Once again, ABITW pt. 2 comes to mind. Waters claims all the writing credit, but Gilmour took a strumming acoustic guitar and vocals and turned it into a hit single. Saying ABITW pt. 2 is Waters' song is like saying All Along the Watchtower is Bob Dylan's song. Sure, Bob Dylan wrote it, but when you hear that name, who comes to mind, Dylan or Hendrix? .


Don't renig on your statement. This is your exact quote:

"how about Comfortably Numb? Not super popular in terms of air play or billboard charts or anything, but its bloody brilliant. Who wrote it, I wonder? Oh yeah, Gilmour."

To me that's pretty much saying Gilmour wrote the song, I don't know about you. Also, I never once said anything about ABITWP2, I don't know why your are ranting on about. It was actually Bob Enzin's idea to boost it up to 110 bmp or whatever it was to match the disco beats, not Gilmour's. I think Enzin is entitled to some credit aswell. But you are correct about ABITWP2, I'm not anti-Gilmour or anything, he helped make the song as succesfull as it is. I look at it like this, but for Waters the song wouldn't even exist. There is a fine difference between writting a song and adding/modifying parts to the a written song. Personally, I find it much harder to come up with the song itself.

Anyways, I don't want to go into a flame war with you. I think I have said pretty much all that I wanted to say. I think if you checked out many of my previous posts on these forums, you would see that that sarcastic statement contradicts many of my other posts which holds Gilmour in high esteem. I will go on the record saying that Gilmour is a better musician than Waters. But a better songwritter and lyricist? Not in a million years IMO.

[PinkFloyd]

Secondly, Deus was arguing that Gilmour wrote songs for Pink Floyd also. A good example of this point is how Gilmour wrote the majority of Comfortably numb. Yes, Waters provided lyrics, but he did so for almost every Floyd song. Its almost a given that a Floyd song contains lyrics by Waters. But that's about all he did. Gilmour wrote most of the song, which is why you could say its his. Now if the two had worked together to form the entire song, it wouldn't be right to only give the credit only to one person. Gilmour conceived the song and was the one who presented it to Waters in the first place.

Obviously you have not even read the quotes that I have taken the time to insert into my posts. You say that Water's lyrics are a given but that's all he did? My whole post was dedicated to discounting that theory and backing it up with actual quotes from the band members. It clearly stated that Roger Waters is responsible for the vocal melody for the verse of Comfortably Numb which is actual MUSIC. It certainly shows this isn't a case of "But that's about all he did." Considering Roger came to the other members of Floyd with a whole demo tape of the Wall that he had recorded at his house, it would be impossible for a demo tape to consist of just lyrics and no music. If he didn't do any music for that, then it would impossible to even create that tape.

You said that "Dues was arguing that Gilmour wrote songs for Pink Floyd also." Yes, maybe so. But when he says:

"how about Comfortably Numb? Not super popular in terms of air play or billboard charts or anything, but its bloody brilliant. Who wrote it, I wonder? Oh yeah, Gilmour."

That is flat out wrong considering Gilmour and Waters have both gone on the record stating in interviews that the song was "last embers of Roger and my ability to work collaboratively together." -David Gilmour

If you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic, then my apologies. Honestly. I don't want to get into a flame war with fellow Pink Floyd fans and ruin this thread. As I said to Duece, I have gotten my point across and I will settle with that.

Yea that movie definently rules. I'm listening to the album right now. How do you like the animations?

To PinkFloyd, sorry dude, I was tired and pissed off yesterday, half of that **** probably didn't make any sense cause I was so out of it. But yea I get what you're saying. No more arguing just for the sake of it.

[Lateralias]

I love the animations for The Wall.... especially Goodbye Blue Sky.... it sends chills up and down my spine.

[DeusExMachina]

Man, I just woke up, and The Trial was playing... weird stuff.

[Kingofdudes]

aint that cute? Just dont start making out in this thread guys.

[tenacious58]

"When Pink Floyd was recording "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (and on the very day of David Gilmour's wedding to his first wife, Ginger), they received a visitor in the studio. He basically kept to himself, occasionally getting up to brush his teeth. From Pink Floyd: The Illustrated Discography:

"During the WYWH sessions a fat, shaven-headed person wearing grey Terylene trousers, a nylon shirt and string vest wandered into the studio. The band ignored the visitor and kept on playing and it was the visiting Andrew King who finally recognised their guest: 'Good God, it's Syd! How did you get like that?' To which Syd replied, 'I've got a very large fridge at home and I've been eating a lot of pork chops.' The whole event was slightly un-nerving since the theme of the album was based on Syd and his subsequent madness."

i just thought that is an interesting little anectdote

[Distant Echoes]

I just started to cover the song Shine On. Im tryin to get the tone right, but i just got a Boss CS-3 Compressor pedal and an amp that allows me to use one more effect. Im getting close, but its not right yet.

[Riva]

aint that cute? Just dont start making out in this thread guys.

Too late. :p

It was actually Bob Enzin's idea to boost it ...
Bob Ezrin, you mean?


And to answer Magicbus:
The best animation is when the woman/shadow attacks Pink in his room.

[magicbus]

Compressor helps a lot. After playing with it, I basically leave it on all the time cause it sounds so great. Now I just need an equalizer to get that bassy type of tone. And my new strat wouldn't hurt either. :upset:

My favorite animation would have to be empty spaces. Its basically sweet, I think the movie version of the song is great. My favorite part is when the gun transforms into the syringe and all that stuff. Real good.

And yea its Ezrin...

[DeusExMachina]

Eh... I'm totally unknowledgable about effects. Meh, whatev.

[CarRamRod]

does anybody here know if Syd Barret preforms on Ummagumma. I love that cd and its that cd that got me into Syds stuff. Now after getting the cds that Syd is on I see only one of the songs that Syd wrote is on Ummagumma. It sounds so much like him but idk

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yea that movie definently rules. I'm listening to the album right now. How do you like the animations?


I really like the first animation scene, where the dove bursts apart, and turns into that black bird, then into the bomber. It's awesome. In addition, The Trial is great. You can't beat a fat blob with balls hanging from his chin, or the walking vagina. :rolleyes:

I haven't really dove into the whole concept of the movie, so I will have more mature, sensible answers and questions about the movie in a few days. :thumb:

We had a big discussion about the animations and what they were all metaphors for quite a few pages back. Check it out for some food for thought.

[Riva]

I can't wait for some good, healthy Wall discussion to resume.

Who likes the ABITW2 sequence. Brilliant, in my opinion.

[DeusExMachina]

It's rad. However, in the end, when they're chanting while the guitar solo is going on... no good. It ruins the solo for me.

Oh, Riva, rep++ for the awesome avatar.

[JH LU KH RT]

Are there any more parts to shine on you crazy diamond than 1 and 2?

[magicbus]

/me is listening to "Let there be more light"

/me is listening to "Remember A Day". Must buy this cd.

Syd Barret does, in fact, not perform anywhere on Ummagumma.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond is divided into Parts I-V and VI-IX (1-5 and 6-9 if you don't know roman numerals.)

Track 1 is I-V, and Track 5 is VI-IX.

I also found several interesting, yet depressing, quotes about the time when Syd showed up during the recording of WYWH.

Pink Floyd: The Illustrated Discography says: "During the WYWH sessions a fat, shaven-headed person wearing grey Terylene trousers, a nylon shirt and string vest wandered into the studio. The band ignored the visitor and kept on playing and it was the visiting Andrew King who finally recognised their guest: 'Good God, it's Syd! How did you get like that?
' To which Syd replied, 'I've got a very large fridge at home and I've been eating a lot of pork chops.' The whole event was slightly un-nerving since the theme of the album was based on Syd and his subsequent madness."

About that, Rick Wright said: "The whole album sprang from that one four-note guitar phrase of Dave's in Shine On. We heard it went, That's a really nice phrase. The wine came out, and that led to what I think is our best album, the most colourful, the most feelingful. Shine On was in the process of being recorded, the lyrics about Syd were written. I walked into the studio at Abbey Road, Roger was sitting, mixing at the desk, and I saw this big bald guy sitting on the couch behind. About 16 stone. And I didn't think anything of it. In those days it was quite normal for strangers to wander into our sessions. Then Roger said, You don't know who that guy is, do you? It's Syd. It was a huge shock, because I hadn't seen him for about six years. He kept standing up and brushing his teeth, putting his toothbrush away and sitting down. Then at one point he stood up and said, Right, when do I put the guitar on? And of course he didn't have a guitar with him. And we said, Sorry Syd, the guitar's all done."

[DeusExMachina]

Man, that's really sad... **** hippies, polluting Syd's mind.

[Cain]

Good to be back, Riva. Sorry I can't give you rep back in return, I have to spread around.

[magicbus]

I'm not one to quote myself, but this line is really sad. Especially if you know that he's insane.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's rad. However, in the end, when they're chanting while the guitar solo is going on... no good. It ruins the solo for me.

Oh, Riva, rep++ for the awesome avatar.

Yes. That was the one part about ABITW pt. 2. Right when the solo starts, the bastard teacher starts yelling. What an idiot.

I was watching the extras about 15 minutes ago. I really liked the video for "Hey You." It's one of my favorite songs offa The Wall.

[DeusExMachina]

I actually haven't seen the video for Hey You yet... I should watch that now.

[The Fonz]

wat is a good Pink Floyd album?

[magicbus]

Do you guys know if Waters originally intended for The Wall to be made into a movie? Or did the director approach him after the album had been released?

[Jimmy]

Pink Floyds best album in my opinion is Atom Heart Mother. The most surreal, sublime and beautiful album ever made.

[guitrguy]

Pink Floyds best album in my opinion is Atom Heart Mother. The most surreal, sublime and beautiful album ever made.
I don't like it that much compared to other Floyd albums mainly because it emulates PATGOD too much.

[Jimmy]

PATGOD is also one of Floyd's best albums. But Atom Heart Mother is the best, because the suite on the first half is too brilliant for words, if is brilliant, summer '68 is brilliant, fat old sun is brilliant, and alan's psychedelic breakfast is brilliant.

I've found that if there's an album Floyd fans haven't listened to, it's Atom Heart Mother. That is an atrocity, it's their best album.


+if you guys have never found it, here's a great website which explains The Wall (the album and the movie) in extreme depth. Lots of great stuff.

http://home.mchsi.com/%7Ettint/Intro.html

[Sam]

I dont think AHM is anything like Piper. Piper never had horns or crazy oprea singers. Piper and AHM are almost polar opposites, Piper was extremely dissonent where AHM is very mellow and uses alot of clean tones and acoustic instrumentation.

Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast is easily one of my favorite songs.

[guitarded_chuck]

So they played ABITW Pt. 2 on the annoucements today at school. It was weird. /random


Right, when do I put the guitar on?
Man. It boggles my mind how someones mental state can get so bad. Syd's story is so tragic. I honestly believe that had he not of screwed up, he would have been on the of greatest and most interesting, and still quite popular lyricists of the 70's.

[Riva]

Indeed. Syd could have been such an influence on modern music, if he hadn't suffered that kind of mental breakdown.

[Doop]

Just wondering, does any one have a video of Rogers and Clapton prefroming Wish You Were Here? I'm still rather annoyed I missed that.

[lunch998]

Off topic, but is One of These Days not the sweetest intro of all time?

[Riva]

I think Magicbus found one. I don't know where he posted it though.

And lunch, you are 100 percent correct.

[magicbus]

Off topic, but is One of These Days not the sweetest intro of all time?

I think it's tied with Have A Cigar, but its pretty freakin sweet. I love turning the delay up and playing that.

I don't have a video of that, but if I ever find one I'll let you guys know.

I agree the Have a Cigar intro is great. I was talking about intro to an album.

That is what I meant as well. As a starting song for an album, One Of These Days ownz my pepe.

[Sam]

It is, that entire song is so heavy. I like the "live at pompeii" version better though. It has better keyboards.

I never really realised that Nick was actually a good drummer untill I bought Pompeii. He pwns One Of These Days. He's the guy who says "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" too. Crazy stuff.

How about Roger's scream on Pompeii on Carefull With That Axe Eugene?

He makes it look easy on Pompeii. The first time I heard the song it scared the crap outta me.

[Sam]

Pompeii makes me apreciate PF's ability as musicians more in general. They really had their **** together.

[RNR]

When Nick does the drum solo that goes around the stadium, that is trippified I says.

[peacefrog1969]

Live at Pompeii is amazing. I've heard that some kids snuck into the place where they were playing, but when they got caught they were allowed to come closer and listen.-jealousy- Careful with that axe, Eugene is freakin awesome. I want to see the Dark Side of the Moon video that they've released.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Do you guys know if Waters originally intended for The Wall to be made into a movie? Or did the director approach him after the album had been released?

I was watching the extras from The Wall DVD last night, and in the interview with Waters, I think it says that he did not intend for it to be turned into a film. I don't clearly remember, but I beleve he says something to that effect. I was in a foggy state of mind at the time, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

[Yoda D'Kana]

Indeed. Syd could have been such an influence on modern music, if he hadn't suffered that kind of mental breakdown.Syd's influence on the music scene was maximised when he inspired Roger Waters to write about him so much. There's no way psychadelic pop could have kept going strong through the 70s the way Pink Floyd's music did.

[Kingofdudes]

Meh, I think the band would have faded away if Syd stayed at control. I think it was much better for all the band members to contribute to the band (even if it was only for a few albums).

[G_Mac07]

Ok guys/girl if there are any, I have a few questions. Mostly regarding The Dark Side Of The Moon. I have the 30th anniversary CD, with the prism and night sky/tree sillouette background.

Firstly, is this CD encrypted with something that won't allow it to be recognised by a computer? The CD works everywhere else, and my computer is fine as it reads every other CD I own.

Secondly, in the cover booklet, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Roger Waters are credited with VCS3. What is this?

Thirdly, does The Making of DSOTM (DVD) only provide info on the making of the album, or does the documentary also cover a lot of what happening with Floyd between then and The Wall. I saw a really good documentary like this on TV before I was into Pink Floyd, and would like to get my hands on it.

Thanks if anyone can shed some light on this for me :)

[Riva]

It shouldn't be. Although I copied the 95 (or so) remastered edition, I doubt whether the new edition should be any different.

All thre of them played this instrument (or effects machine) during the making of the album: http://www.vintagesynth.org/index2.html

I haven't seen that documentary, but I assume it covers a lot of the emotions etc that Pink Floyd were going through on the lead up to DSOTM.

Hope that helps. :)

[magicbus]

Man I really want to get a VCS3 off ebay or something, but I can't find one anywhere.

Gilmour, nice icon, Wright rules. And Pompeii rules. On Careful With That Axe, Eugene, he does make it look really easy, like he's not even yelling. But it rules so hard on Ummagumma. The documentary only covers DSOTM, and it gives information on each song. Not what I expected, but its still alright.

How come I always miss the good conversations? :upset:

[DeusExMachina]

Do you guys know if Waters originally intended for The Wall to be made into a movie? Or did the director approach him after the album had been released?

Waters intended it to be a movie. And now he's going to make it a Broadway musical... *shakes fists*

[RNR]

Hehe, Waters supports the musical. It must be good.



Or maybe he just wants more money.

[Riva]

I'm going with option B there, RnR.

[lunch998]

[JugBandBlues]

just wondering who do you think had the best solo career. (please dont turn in into yet another roger>gilmore or roger<gilmore fight lol) I say its roger waters.......but then again my veiw is disstorted cuz i love political lyrics so i say its a tie between him and syd

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Waters intended it to be a movie. And now he's going to make it a Broadway musical... *shakes fists*

Oh, ok, I wasn't sure, but I figured I would be wrong. Does anyone know the deal with the musical of it? release date, etc..

[Chaotic_Being]

My favorite album of theirs is Animals. I guess it isn't haunting, but its dark, very serious, and the music is amazing. Great lyrics throughout the album, too.

Same here. You want haunting lyrics? Track down Come in #51, Your Time Is Up. I wouldn't necessarly call them "lyrics". More like Mur-Murs and screams. It's definitly the darkest, most horrifying song they ever did. If you cant get ahold of that, check out Careful With That Axe Eugene from Live At Pompeii. It's better than the older versions and it has more spoken word parts. It's my personal favorite of all the versions

[DeusExMachina]

just wondering who do you think had the best solo career. (please dont turn in into yet another roger>gilmore or roger<gilmore fight lol) I say its roger waters.......but then again my veiw is disstorted cuz i love political lyrics so i say its a tie between him and syd

Gilmour, in my opinion. But I haven't heard enough of any of the solo careers to be totally positive.

[lunch998]

Yea I would say Gilmour too.

[RNR]

Yeah. Rodger Waters never really amounted to much solo. Without the rest of Pink Flod he wasn't much.

[JugBandBlues]

on a note about the solo careers i just got roger waters in the flesh live cd. comfortably numb is amazing. dont get me wrong dave is a MUCH better guitarest then this guy, but it truly is amazing

[RNR]

The best things that Rodger did solo were concerts of Pink Floyd songs.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

that depends because i liked roger's lyrics, but the instrumentals are lacking, and pink floyd with out roger had good instrumentals but the lyrics were never the same, lol if your a beatles fan this should sound familier

So were there any more developments with Waters' statement about the Floyd reunion?

Yes. I've said it several times. Waters publicly denied that there will be a reunion tour. The rumors fly that he changed his mind, sure, but I have yet to find a single credible source which said there will be a reunion, but I have seen several sources say there will be none. Sorry, I'd love for it to happen, but I've pretty much given up hoping.

[guitarded_chuck]

There might be another tour, but I'm 99.9% sure that Waters won't be a part of it. Unfortunitly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rick, David and Nick got together one more time, since on the last tour they never said it would be their last. Maybe wishful thinking since I never got a chance to see them, but they are techincally still a band.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yes. I've said it several times. Waters publicly denied that there will be a reunion tour.

Sorry, I'd love for it to happen, but I've pretty much given up hoping.

Oh, okay, I must be thinking wrong then. Crap. :upset: I recall someone saying that Waters said there would be a reuinion, but then again, they had no source.

[Otherside]

I don't know, Waters seemed pretty friendly in the interview I read.

There might be another tour, but I'm 99.9% sure that Waters won't be a part of it. Unfortunitly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rick, David and Nick got together one more time, since on the last tour they never said it would be their last. Maybe wishful thinking since I never got a chance to see them, but they are techincally still a band.

True, they are technically a band, but Gilmour has said that he doesn't want to do a major tour again. And, since he is the helmsman of the band, if he doesn't call it, it won't happen. It's still a possibility, and I'd love it to happen, but I'm not so sure.

To Otherside, I agree, Waters is quite nice in interviews, I guess he mellowed some in his older years, but he's still really really egotistical from what I can tell.

[Distant Echoes]

Pink Floyd probably couldnt put on as good a show as they wouldve in their earlier years...but theyd sell 5x as many tickets.

My personal prediction - if Floyd ever tours again, Itll probably be because their running out of money

Not quite a touching reason, but that is what i truely think. Floyd getting together for the hell of it seems to far out for me...something bigger is gonna have to happen than that for a reunion

[Riva]

I can't see Waters and Gilmour getting together just for old times sake. Either big bucks or big promotion will be the driving force, not friendship.

[guitarded_chuck]

I don't think it would be for money. It would be a final tour, and they'd let everyone know it was beforehand.

And yea, Waters has mellowed out a bit, but who knows how long it's been since he has even talked to David or Rick. He has become friends with Nick again, and they have played together, so who knows. But I doubt it.

[RNR]

That would be nice but I don't think it will happen.

[DeusExMachina]

Tear. It would be so awesome, too!

[Gossamer175]

The perfect time for Dave to make an appearance was during that bloody tsunami aid concert. Clapton should have just tiptoed backstage and out comes Gilmour and starts playing. Roger looks up and sees him right then and there. I wonder what would happen in that case.

[guitarded_chuck]

Probably awkward silence. They'd continue to play, because the performance was for raising money for Tsunami Aid. I dunno. We can always dream... Who knows what will happen. More than likely it'll be made official sometime that the band is done for good.

[DeusExMachina]

I think David would never agree to that. David hates Roger too, remember. It's not a one sided hate thing.

[HempKnight]

i think that if roger and dave made up a tour would be the WORST thing for their friend ship, i mean sure as a fan i wanna see them back together, but i would rather have the people who have countless times inspeired me be on good terms. Besides im sure there would be no new album and all we would get would be a reunion tour of people who have lost any vocal range they once had.

[DeusExMachina]

Actually, Gilmour can still sing amazingly well. Check out the DVD that came out recently. I think his sing has, if anything, improved. Also, Gilmour has said that part of the reason he doesn't want to do another tour is because it would involve making a new album.

[HempKnight]

well u may be right about gilmores voice because he does seem to have one of those voices that gets better with age, but i was more refering to rogers voice, lol i got in the flesh live last month, its a good cd.....but there are some tracks where you wish he had his old voice back. but still i highly doubt any tours or cds

[DeusExMachina]

As do I. Sadly.

[magicbus]

I'm gonna keep wishing. If I won't be able to see Cream, I'd better be able to see Floyd.

[HempKnight]

my big fear about bands like cream and pink floyd who have rumors of getting back together is they do get back together and put out a new cd and the cd is crap like so many bands that have reunions do.

[magicbus]

Yea hopefully they'll just play old songs and not try any new cds or anything. Unless it turns out to be good. Then I don't care.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

my big fear about bands like cream and pink floyd who have rumors of getting back together is they do get back together and put out a new cd and the cd is crap like so many bands that have reunions do.

For me, it wouldn't be about the quality of the music. I know that their golden years have come and gone. It would be more nostalgic than anything else.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, there's that new song on the Gilmour DVD, Smile, (... I'm writing a song right now that is tentatively titled Smile... weird) and that song is reaaaaally good. Different from the Floyd sound, but very good. So, whatev. I think they still have writing talent. I mean, Waters is writing an opera.

[Zengeance]

I love when people try to sound like they know a lot about Pink Floyd, and then spell Barrett wrong (and his mental complications were during and after Piper)


Forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't Piper at the Gates of Dawn Floyd's first cd like he said?

[guitarded_chuck]

Actually, Gilmour can still sing amazingly well. Check out the DVD that came out recently. I think his sing has, if anything, improved. Also, Gilmour has said that part of the reason he doesn't want to do another tour is because it would involve making a new album.
I agree. And he is still an amazing guitar player. Nick still can play drums, and has with Roger, and of course Roger can still play bass. I'm sure Nick still plays the piano sometimes as well.

my big fear about bands like cream and pink floyd who have rumors of getting back together is they do get back together and put out a new cd and the cd is crap like so many bands that have reunions do.

But that is true too. The album most likely wouldn't even compare with their past stuff. But the album isn't what I want to see, just a tour.

Obviously we care because we are discussing it. You are the one creating a fight right now, we are all just discussing it normally. I was just pointing out that Gilmour's albums had better sales, and that I prefer them. Now STFU.

[Otherside]

I still think it's viable. They're not enemies anymore as far as I can tell. Maybe not friends, but not enemies is still a step up.

[Shazzam]

Is that Gilmour DVD that was released recently any good?

I saw the Comfortably Numb clip, and I liked it alot, but is the rest of the DVD good too?

[DeusExMachina]

YES! The Gilmour DVD > your children. Seriously. Buy it!

No it's not like that. I'm giving you fair warning ahead of time to take the time to spell out your words instead of speaking like a 5 year old. People will consistently flame you and -Rep you because you spell like that, And it's just pathetic grammar. It's all about the music bud, Just trying to give you a tip or two :)

[HempKnight]

o ok i read it wrong i guess, ill try to watch that in the future thanks :thumb:

[RNR]

You had better. I'm sure the members of Pink Floyd would be angry at you for spelling poorly in a thread about them.

[Riva]

Wow! Today, on the radio, I heard Comfortably Numb (the version from Delicate Sound Of Thunder. I think that it has got to be the best recording of it I've heard to date.

Well, Gilmour's voice is a lot more melodic than Waters, hence the song is "easier" on the ears. However, I think it loses a bit of it's artistic value, id est the doctor's voice is least intrusive and unpleasant.

yea now that you mention it i remember thinking that

[DeusExMachina]

I love the versions on the DVD of Gilmour. People say they don't like the guest singers for some reason, I thought they were great. And yeah, HempKnight, it is all about the music, but typing decently is nice. Tyinpg leyk dis iz rly obniouxs.

I'd have to agree, maybe Astronomy Domine.

[Broken Arrow]

I'd have to agree, maybe Astronomy Domine.
Yeah I count the C.D. because I don't own the LP.

[HempKnight]

I'd have to agree, maybe Astronomy Domine.

i love Astronomy Domine, thats the song that got my into syds work in the first place.

[lunch998]

Yeah I count the C.D. because I don't own the LP.

Nevermind that, I was thinking about something different. See Emily Play was on the original album, but not the Cd.

[SofaKing713]

I got a question for everyone. What is your favorite Pink Floyd CD. I have heard a lot of their songs and I would like to purchace one but I don't know what one I would like. Any ideas?

[jpj]

Bike is my favorite just because the lyrics are so **** funny.

My favorite Floyd CD is probably Animals, but get DSOTM first.

[lunch998]

I got a question for everyone. What is your favorite Pink Floyd CD. I have heard a lot of their songs and I would like to purchace one but I don't know what one I would like. Any ideas?

You have to start with Dark Side of the Moon. It is no longer my favorite(actually I like it much less now than most people do) but it will capture you once you first get it, and will bring you into Pink Floyd.

[Broken Arrow]

Nevermind that, I was thinking about something different. See Emily Play was on the original album, but not the Cd.

[DeusExMachina]

Definitely Dark Side of the Moon. Then probably Wish You Were Here.

[HempKnight]

Meddle is the best instrumentally and the wall has the best lyrics so its a tie in my mind

[Doop]

I got a question for everyone. What is your favorite Pink Floyd CD. I have heard a lot of their songs and I would like to purchace one but I don't know what one I would like. Any ideas?
My favorite CD would be Animals but as some one else said its best to start with Dark Side of The Moon.

[Riva]

This is the beginners path to Floyd: DSOTM, then The Wall, then perhaps Meddle, or Animals.

From there, you can pick your own path, though checking out PULSE or Delicate Sound Of Thunder (Live Albums) could not do any harm.

[relayer]

Hmmm i would say Wish You Were Here after The Wall...and THEN perhaps Meddle or Animals.

[clown_phobia]

1. Dark Side of The Moon
2. The Wall
3. Wish You Were Here
4. Pulse
5. Animals

[ArcLite]

Seems like the Floyd has been trendy for some time now. My younger sister has a PF shirt but can't name one song or album by them, same with her friends.

[Kingofdudes]

/me has one

[Modestbob]

dont know if this has been covered yet but has anyone seen the video of Syd when he first tripped on drugs? I downloaded it (around 5min 30sec i belive) and it is very odd with the strange little electronic music they put to it. and i wanted to know if i have the whole thing or if i just got a clip.

[DeusExMachina]

No clue about the Syd tape. And, WYWH won't remain an elitist favorite for long, but you can rest assured that you're still a Pink Floyd elitist.

[guitarded_chuck]

Yea, that tape is called "Syd's First Trip". You can actually buy the DVD from places, but I wouldn't suggest it wasting your money. It's actually not his first trip, and he is on the magical shrooms.

It's weird how Floyd is kind of trendy. I have a Floyd shirt and I wear it to school all the time, but I don't think I will anymore. It seems everyday I see like 5 Dark Side t-shirts or sweaters. It's not really a bad thing, but I'm thinking the other people know nothing about Floyd. Meh.

[Orange Fog]

Yeah, lots of Dark Side T-shirts in my school too.

I have one too, but I rarely wear it.

I asked this one guy wearing a dark side shirt, to name a few songs from the album:
Results:
1) Mother
2) Shine On You Crazy Diamond
3) We Don't Need No Education (Dumb kids don't even know the song name)

It was saddening. Soo many posers..

[HempKnight]

i have the same problem in my school, people wear shirts from the wall more though. lol when i told one of them meddle my fav cd the didnt know what i was talking about :upset:

[Biancazzurri]

Is it true Pink Floyd sre nazis?
I heard they did the "hail hitler" move on one of their concerts

I saw it on the Story of Syd Barret DVD . He put like hashbrowns on his eyes.:lol:

[Modestbob]

it is sad how people dont know anything more than DSOTM or The Wall (sometimes they dont know crap about those but say the love them). and almost nobody knows about Syd either. i was talking about Floyd with my friend and he likes Floyd but isnt a Floyd "eliteist" and he knows about Syd. and everybody else i talk to about floyd dosent even know who Syd is and a lot dont even know Floyd has records before DSOTM.

[guitarded_chuck]

Why would you be a Pink Floyd fan poser though? That's what I don't get.

i know ive had kids try to convince me that I was wrong when i said syd was in the band. to be honest i really dont see how anybody could say dark side of the moon is their best unless they really listen to them

[Otherside]

For any other reason, image. If "x" is trendy and you publicize "x" then, gasp, you are trendy now too! Congratulations. Oh wait, "x" was last year, now we like "y", because its trendy.

Hey...It's my first time posting in this thread :)

I've been getting into Pink Floyd for the past couple months. At first I didn't really like them (now I can't figure out why not), but I changed my mind. The only record I have is DSOTM right now (it's my dad's). My favorite PF song right now is probably Brain Damage, but that might change when I hear some more.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

A guy I know from school burned me a bunch of CDs from a Pink Floyd box set, so I have quite a bit of PF. The problem is that I don't know what songs go to which albums. I was planning on looking that up tonight or tomorrow though.

[Distant Echoes]

we have a station down here that plays the beatles every morning for an hour, and on Sundays, they play 3 straight hours of all beatles & beatle related material (Covers, outtakes, interviews, etc.), and they have some interesting stuff, i dont know how they get hold of it.

But i dont know if i could take floyd on the radio if it werent the whole album all the way through...i cant stand just listening to random songs by them.

That sounds like a cool station.

I'm disappointed in you, you Eagle fan. :angry: ...Hopefully you're not a Patriots fan too.

[Distant Echoes]

I hate the patriots, but i won 40 bucks on a bet last week on them so that was pretty sweet...but i think their going to kill the eagles in jacksonville, though we deserve it more, theyve had their moment - i mean 3 moments

but the station is alright, except the morning show sucks hard with John DeBello. Alot of really famous musicians knows him, but everybody other then that hates him, even the co-anchor

They really play an equal mix of all their bands unlike other stations tha have favorites...No more FLoyd then Zeppelin, or Zeppelin then Cream, and so on.

[magicbus]

Can someone tell me more about Syd Barrett?

[Distant Echoes]

Somebody can defintaly get in depth with him here, but all you should know is he started with floyd as a guitarist and songwriter, and the band defintaly wouldnt have got anywere without him, but he sort of went crazy in a few years, like refusing to play in the middle of concerts and had some really insane lyrics the band couldnt accept, so he was simply not picked up for a show one night, and replaced with gilmour.

Id personally like to know more about him too, since i only own 1 album from his years

[lunch998]

Actually a² + b² = c²

I was referring the the linear equation of a line in general form, but that's true also.

[magicbus]

No, that's slope-intercept form. General form is Ax+By=C.

Oh I never learned that one.

[Shazzam]

What are your guy's (& gals) favorite Floyd solo's?

For me it'd have to be:

1. Comfortably Numb (I enjoy both of them equally)
2. Another Brick In the Wall Pt.2
3. Time

[lunch998]

SOYCD(Parts 6-9)
Dogs

I'm also going to cheat and call the riff at the end of Sheep a solo.

[Otherside]

A=½·h+b¹+b²

I hate math.

My favorite solo is from Hey You. Not my favorite song, I like alot more than that one, but the solo has so much ****ing emotion. It's euphoric.

[Shazzam]

Yeah, the tabs for that solo are only a handfull of notes, but if you listen to it, it has the depth and emotion of an entire symphony orchestra.

There's Gilmour for ya'......

[Distant Echoes]

Shine on you crazy diamond I-II, and having a hard *** time remembering the 3rd solo, though the tone is incredible

Comfortably Numb (my next one)
Echoes - intro and outro
Money and Time
High Hopes and Marooned

all timeless

[HempKnight]

i love the solo(s) in echoes. that whole song is just amazing

[Johnny B. Good]

I like the Comfortably Numb solos best

[magicbus]

SOYCD, Any Colour You Like, Careful With That Ax, Eugene.

[Distant Echoes]

echoes could be the greatest song EVER made, i wouldnt doubt it. Its perfect. I couldnt name one thing to add or take from that song to make it better, but i think its great for also being the only song to represent the entire triligy of Pink Floyds sound. It seems that song overviewed all of floyds previous, current, and future sound and style in certain parts of that song.

and god christ i cant get enough of that tone

I got a Boss Cs-3 pedal just to try to match it. Its the same on he used, but updated, and about 100 bucks i think. still - incredible

[Distant Echoes]

and i have to add on the subject of solos, Any Colour you Like is probably the funnest song to play of any song i know about. Phasers, Wawas, effects everywere and just simple, innovative pleasure. What a great song...

[magicbus]

Yea man the tone is what I love about it. Same with SOYCD. Amazing.

Use the bridge pickup, and compressor helps a lot. You get that bassy tone.

how much does that go for? when i pick up some cash im gonna by a ton of band DVDs. I cant get enough of that stuff

[Wintermute]

To be honest my copy of the actual film is pirated, and the CD I'm listening to is my Dads.

[Distant Echoes]

That works too...

im looking to buy all the Floyd CDs instead of downloading or stuff...and a good band to choose. I love all their artwork and effects and stuff. I got all the Zep CDs at once burned, and it was great, but pretty boring, so i really want to buy everything Floyd

[Wintermute]

I know what you mean... with my favourite bands I do tend to try and get them all genuine, and Floyd are one of my favourite bands. So I wonder why I haven't... I've got two t-shirts and a DVD of The Wall in genuine, but the CDs on my hardrive of theirs are all my Dads. I guess it seemed foolish to buy them while I was living at home, as there were genuine copies just downstairs.

[Shazzam]

Yeah, i downloaded Pulse too, but I'm definately gonna buy it when it comes out on DVD.

[Distant Echoes]

I got some Tshirts, some posters, about 6 CDs, and tons of files on my computer all Floyd, including sweet art they made but never really released like my avator.

But i plan to Get Obscurred by Clouds Next, cause i got a sweet avator for that too, which ill put up as soon as i buy it

Well, im gonna crash. It getting pretty late.

I just picked up The Pink Floyd and Syd Barret Story (DVD). It was pretty interesting, considering I didn't know too much about Syd Barret to begin with. I think I might check out some of the stuff involving Syd now. Has anyone else seen this DVD, and what did you think of it?

Wintermute is my favorite mod now :cool:

I didn't know any mods liked Floyd that much. This is cool. :cool:

So has anybody read Mason's autobiography yet? I think it was released recently, if I'm thinking correctly. If so, would you reccomend it? I have a LOT of trouble finding literature that interests me...:upset:

I looked at pictures in the book store it looked good.

[Shazzam]

Is it released yet?

Yeah, I hate books, and books hate me......

But this might be an exception.....

You suck at being smrt. But yes the book is out. Check it out. I liked it. It was kind of long and boring at parts. Especially at the beginning when they are still college English kids, and at the end where he goes on and on about the last newer albums. I skipped some of it, but it was a good read.

Another Brick?!?

Point of naming those songs??

I have seen it. I like when that guy have those coloured lights and Floyd was just jamming to the flow of the lights.

True that. That's why I like the old Syd Floyd. So much improv and creativity. They never played a song the same way twice. They had to cut down the songs and the improv to make Pipers. Interstellar Overdrive live would be for like 20 minutes, and on the album it's like 10.

[magicbus]

I haven't read the Nick Mason biography, but I probably will. Right now I'm reading A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey.

[DeusExMachina]

I like Syd. Really creative guy. Too bad he burnt out.

Yes that was cool, especially what he did when using a Zippo lighter for a slide. Great stuff :thumb:

[Modestbob]

Does anybody have the Pink Floyd single "Point Me At The Sky" ? I have it on a VHS Floyd Video Comp and i cant find a version on Bearshare that downloads.

Just listened to Meddle.

San Tropez is one hell of a song...

[magicbus]

Well, I'm just looking for some reading involving Pink Floyd. You think I should check that out instead?

Its very good so far, and I've heard the rest is great from people who have finished it. So I'd recommend it.

[Shazzam]

Is there any Gilmour Biography?

[hypocracy hater]

I like Syd. Really creative guy. Too bad he burnt out.

I'm borrowing the 'Pink Floyd - The Barret Years' DvD, should be fun.

[bomber]

did anyone else see the pink floyd programme on british television last night? it had interviews with the band now and looking back on the success of dark side of the moon. Previous to this programme pink floyd were a band i could never really get into but now i love them!

[hypocracy hater]

Darn it, I missed it.

[bomber]

well at first i didn't even know it was on as i was flicking through channels and up came the pink floyd album cover for dark side of the moon so i sat and watched and it was just the band discussing there fame, lyrics and albums, chord sequences to there songs etc. The guitarist's face has hardly changed at all, as is the bassists face.

[DeusExMachina]

The guitarist is awesome. I love him.

[Shazzam]

Geez, Waters has a big ****in nose.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Waters has grown into his nose over time. I saw a picture of him that was taken recently, and it looks fairly normal, whereas during the seventies, he looked like a friggen anteater or something.

Maybe about a month ago, we were talking about the bands that Pink Floyd had influenced, and somebody mentioned how Tool had put a part of Shine on you Crazy Diamond into one of their songs. Does anybody know/remember which Tool song it was?
