The production on Dark Side is amazing.

Makes you wonder what WYWH would have been like if Alan Parsons had stayed on.

[quote=Meatplow;13922425]I was just listening to DSOTM through headphones whilst laying in bed, was amazed at some of the layered arrangments i'd never noticed before, particularly in Time. The way that song builds up after the clocks is amazing, i love the chimes in the right headphone. I never noticed how great the guitars are in that song either.[/quote]

I noticed too. A while back, I was noticing the same things with Comfortably Numb.

Comfortably Numb? I have listened to that with Headphones but didn't notice anything. Might give it another listen later.

I got Pulse a couple of days ago, it's awesome.

I watched the bootlegs from Pulse and they weren't very good.

I got Roger Waters - The Wall Live in Berlin today.

I shall watch it later. I'd imagine I know the answer to this already, but is it any good?

It's pretty good.

I liked it, especially the song with Sinead O'Connor (I'm pretty sure it was Mother)

Apparently she didn't get on with Waters or something. I think he asked her to mime along when the pa went down and she wasn't impressed.

Sinead O'Conner is an idiot anyways.

When she ripped up the picture of the pope it was funny.

But I read an interview (or it may be something from the disc itself, a booklet or one of the extras) where Waters ripped into her. Called her a spolit little brat or something like that.

[QUOTE=Wiki]The live performance of "Mother" was also hounded by a power failure. Roger Waters tried to get Sinéad O'Connor to sing her parts anyways, or mime the song, while the error gets fixed. Offended by being asked to mime, she didn't return after the show to re-record the performance (which is how "The Thin Ice" was saved for the CD/Video release.) Instead, the release version of "Mother" comes from the dress rehearsal on the previous night before the concert. Consequently, the large projection of Gerald Scarfe's mother character that was projected on the screen during the concert cannot be seen on the video or DVD versions.[/QUOTE]

Yes. I liked it a lot.

Speaking of Roger Waters, who else is seeing his Brisbane show on Feb 5?

Heh, that bootleg Aaron uploaded to the DU was excellent. As soon as I saw the song titles You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving And Drooling, I knew they had to be the pre-Animals jams of Dogs and Pigs (Three Different Ones).

I wish I could go to the Roger Waters concert, but it's very expensive to fly down and I also have other things going on.

Too bad it looks like itll be a great show. Where do you live? It's only a one and a half hour train ride for me.

Cairns. About 200 one way, flying Virgin.

Oh well that does make it difficult.

Hey Riva, glad you enjoyed it.

I realized that the "Any Colour You Like" is probably the coolest on there out of all the bootlegs I have. Such awesome keyboard work on Rick's part.

EDIT: 9,000 :cool:

HE'S OVER 9000!

:lol: That's awesome.

[b]Excerpt from Roger Waters interview for Q Magazine November 1992[/b]

[i]"It was very, very hard work organizing that Wall concert but everyone was fabulous to work with - Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, Cyndi Lauper, bloody brilliant. All brilliant. Except for Sinead O'Connor. Oh, God! I have never ever met anybody who is so self-involved and unprofessional and big-headed and unpleasant. She is so far up her own bum it's scary. With The Wall, she was so worried that there weren't any other (_adopts Irish "brogue"_) 'young people on the show'. I and everybody else were old farts in her opinion so she was worried that she was doing something that wasn't 'street' enough. And because it wasn't 'street' enough, she came up with this brilliant idea: she said that I should employ Ice-T or one of those people to re-work one of my songs as a rap number! I am not joking! And neither was she ****ing joking! That's the sad thing - she was serious! And then a couple of months after the show, when the record was out, she did an interview on American television, millions of viewers, and she rubbished the whole thing, said the Wall concert was a load of wank. I don't give a **** what she though about it but she should have kept her ****ing mouth shut because it could only hurt the charity, the memorial fund and everything that Leonard (Cheshire) had done. She doesn't understand anything. She's just a silly little girl. You can't just lie in the corner and shave your bloody head and stick up your arse and occasionally pull it out to go (_"brogue"_) 'Oh, I tink this is wrong and dat is wrong' and burst into tears."[/i]

Bit late, but righteous all the same. :smoke:

She's nothing but a f[size=2]u[/size]cking image. I hate her.

Stick it to her Roger :chug:

:chug:

The whole interviews great actually. I'll link it...

Then click on the interview titled [b]Roger Waters 1992[/b]. He seems to be in a particularly scathing mood for this one :)

"I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it is stupid"

"He's one taco short of a Mexican meal"

Haha this is awesome. Rep+

/blushes

The first time I read it I thought it was fabricated :lol: He's a very cocky man.

More power to him!

I like how he openly claims to be the second best English writer of the past 50 years. Then tries to downplay it by saying Freddie Mercury might have been better. If you're going to try and be humble, find a better writer than Freddie. I like Queen, but c'mon, honestly now.

This is what made me question the authenticity of the interview. The fact that he confidently claims to be one of the best brittish songwriters of all time. We all know he is, but I would expect a man to have bit more modesty than that! :smoke:

I think he was in a rather bad mood that day, as he behaves pretty well in the other interviews. :p

I think that interview was faked. How could he shun the gloomy question yet always say things make him gloomy. Its clearly a piss take.

i dont get it

[quote]Yes, the music of "Sir" Andrew Lloyd Webber is rather horrible - but has not Waters, in condemning Phantom Of The Opera as "****ing fifteenth rate from beginning to end", as he does, missed something? Has he not noticed something uncanny about Phantom Of The Opera, the title song, something about the opening notes that go "DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da"?

"Yes, Echoes"! he booms. (Echoes was an LP-side- long, and rather-good- actually, track on Pink Floyd's Meddle.) "Echoes. Yeah the beginning of that bloody Phantom song is from Echoes. (_He sings_) DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. It's the same time signature - it's 12/8 - and it's the same structure and it's the same notes and it's the same everything.

Bastard. It probably is actionable. It really is! But I think that life's too long to bother with suing Andrew ****ing Lloyd Webber. I think that might make me really gloomy." [/quote]

Yes! That is exactly what I think whenever I hear the beginning of the song Phantom Of The Opera or Echoes. :p
