moar leik Mr. Cone. Man. @myavatar :)

To put this on topic, I'm going to see Aussie Floyd for the third time next week I can't wait, they are the single greatest tribute act ever :) :)

Beyond The Darkside is coming back to my town, I don't think I'll go though, even though they were awesome last year.

There aren't any Floyd tribute bands around my area, at least not that I know of. I've thought about maybe starting one, actually, but I dont think I'd ever actually go through with that.

Once (if) I get a band started, I do want to cover Darkside occasionally.

Well I live in Australia so im bound to be able to see Aussie Floyd sometime, I dunno if I will though. Tribute band's arnt my thing.

I saw a Floyd Tribute band once, they were really good up until the last song when the played Comfortably Numb...it sounded like the crap on [I]The Departed[/I], It was a cool show, but they ruined that song totally. Maybe that's the reason why I didn't care for [I]The Departed[/I] that much, because of the country version of Comfortably Numb. For the most part, though, the cover band was really accurate, I don't know why they would butcher such a beautiful song...

That was Van Morrison and The Band doing that song in The Departed.

I really hate that version, too.

I've seen The Pink Floyd Experience. It was pretty damn good.

Aussie Floyd are doing some festivals they are already confirmed for Rockwerchter and Arrow Rock Festival.

I wish some Floyd cover bands would come here but I'm seeing Roger in June so whatever.:)

Technically that is a cover band :thumb:

Yeah I guess technically it is...well this is akward.

Haha, but seriously you will love that show, I did not regret the $150 I payed for it. In fact if anything I regret not paying more for better seats.

Yeah I really didn't care how much we had to pay. I think my friend picked up $70 seats so I'm satisfied.

I think the cover version suited the movie better than the original would have

one of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces

What cover version? and of what song?

Comfortably Numb in The Departed

I personally liked the cover version.

who did the cover?

or the scissor sisters which i don't think he is talking about that.

The scissor sisters covered it!! I'd be outraged if your avatar wasn't so hypnotic.

Ya it probably fit better. The original version of the song would have been kind of a "wtf" moment.

The Scissor Sisters did an absolutely terrible cover of it.

I've never heard the scissor sisters before.

That [I]Comfortably Numb[/I] cover in the Departed was ok, I guess. The Dropkick Murphy's song was perfect, though.

Be thankful that you haven't heard them.

How'd you go with obtaining a record player?

I Don't Feel Like Dancin' is a good song :(

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;14399717]I Don't Feel Like Dancin' is a good song :([/QUOTE]

You sold us out, mang.

Has anyone hear heard Kitaro?

He covers a bit of [I]Meddle[/I] in his album [I]An Enchanted Evening[/I].

Nothing yet. I watched one of those nice duals on eBay for a few days. In four days it went from $10 to $200+. I like the pretty ones with the wooden base but they seem to be fairly expensive, on eBay anyhow. :rolleyes: Still don't really know what to look for either, I'm not familiar with the technical terms and such.

Oh ok. You could always try going to a store like The Good Guys or something and just ask around to get a feel for prices of new ones.

I got a new Emerson Record/CD/Tape/Radio at Best Buy for 100 bucks.

Works like a charm.

I know how you guys love drugs in this thread, but I have to say that Ummagumma while tripping is amazing. The same can be said for "Any Colour You Like", "On An Island", "The Thin Ice" and whatever else we listened to.

Im sure Small Furry Animals while on pot would be hilarious.

My dumbass friends get high off of permanent markers...:upset: stupid friends

I love the smell of markers. Never been high off of them before, I hope.

That's BS, you can't get high from markers. They're probably using those magic markers to give themselves headaches, right? That's so moronic.

Haha, I'm sure each one of those songs was "the best song ever"

I'm telling you man, all the guitar sounded SO cool. Next time I'm just gonna make a mix with a bunch of searing guitar solos. I remember coming back from the bathroom and hearing the "On A Island" solo pouring out of my friend's room. It was pretty heavy.

Trust me man, I'm with you. Every song is so long, in-depth, and life consuming that each new song is definitely the best song ever at the time.

I loved every minute of it, and want to do it again.

Is it worth the damage pot causes though?
