HAYO

Pink Floyd Unites
 

The unthinkable happend. They - are - back!

[I]Pink Floyd will play together at the Live 8 concert in London on July 2, it was confirmed today.

The performance will be their first since a concert at Earls Court in 1981.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," said David Gilmour, guitarist. "Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile." [/I]

*Creams*

I so hope they're going to tour again... :)

Long Live Pink Floyd.

I'm going to cry. I really really really want tickets. I wonder how much a ticket to the show and a plane ticket to London would cost...

You have to win the ticket from a lottery I think.

How do you get entered into said lottery?

No idea. I believe Med entered though.

I'd enter, but then I'd have to get there. :(

I hope they tour!!!!

That's on my birthday!

This could be a good sign of things to come...

Theyll probably play Money and Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. There biggest hits.
btw I just got Wish You Were Here album, can anyone tell me who sings on what?

Both Shine on you Crazy Diamonds - Roger
Welcome to the Machine - gilmour
Have a Cigar - Roy Harper
Wish you were here - Gilmour

[QUOTE=Gilmour]Both Shine on you Crazy Diamonds - Roger
[B]Welcome to the Machine - gilmour[/B]
Have a Cigar - Roy Harper
Wish you were here - Gilmour[/QUOTE]

That seems really obvious now that you've said it, but for the longest time I couldn't figure out who it was on Welcome to the Machine. Funny that.

I read the news today oh boy, I can't belive it. I don't think this will mean a new tour though, Gilmour said in the past he would reunite for another benifit concert, whitch this is so unfortunetly I doubt another tour will happen.

I smell reunion tour...

Who's Roy Harper?

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]That seems really obvious now that you've said it, but for the longest time I couldn't figure out who it was on Welcome to the Machine. Funny that.[/QUOTE]

Actually I thought Waters sang it. Oh well. As for Have a Cigar I had a feeling it wasnt either Gilmour or Waters.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Who's Roy Harper?[/QUOTE]

a singer in the next studio.

roger's voice was fukced from recording shine on 3 times, gilmour didn't like the way it sounded iwth his voice. they found some guy next door.

[QUOTE=moaner]a singer in the next studio.

Led Zeppelin say: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper. :)

/me waits for Schyma to read the thread.

Also, I think we should do Nile Song off of More as a Cover song. Sort of show one of Floyd's more obscure songs, and also one of their hardest ones. I'm also going to record vocals for Wish You Were Here, Nile Song, and maybe something else, to see if you guys think I can sing or not. :)

OMG :( I so wanted to go there, why can't you win tickets if you are outside the UK :@

[QUOTE=Med57]It was done via text message...you could send in as many as you like for £1.50 each, but as they got at least 2 million messages and there's about 85,000 tickets available I'm hardly hopeful. And there will have been a massive surge considering Floyd's confirmation was announced about 6 hours before the phone lines close. We find out on Wednesday who won tickets.

/prays[/QUOTE]
Good luck!

Riva, when will you get the recordings to us? I have to leave in a week for a trip, so if we're going to do this and I'm going to be involved, I'd like to know what I need to play soon, so I can record it and send it off to whoever is organizing this for us.

Give me three days. 1. I have exams until tomorrow. 2. I have a bad cold. 3. My time is limited due to work, etc.

If the Floyd actually has a tour or even produces and album together or something I will cry. I would do ANYTHING to actually see an actual Pink Floyd show.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It’s crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it’s got to be worthwhile." says Gilmour.


Although I REALLY hope that maybe, just MAYBE, they'll enjoy playing together, and do a tour. I give up my computer and guitar to see them play. That's saying something for me.

They're headlining Live 8, so they'll get more than 10 minutes guys :)

EDIT: Much as I'd love to see them play live, rocking out to Comfortably Numb or Run Like Hell one last time as a 4 piece in front of a worldwide audience of millions would be a fitting end to (imo) the greatest band of all time.

Syd barrets terrible...but thats what happens when everyone listening to your musics spaced out too(not that im saying floyd fans are..i mean i never was).but pink floyd wasnt pink floyd until gilmour and waters joined....think of it...each could write great songs...and to boot they made an orchestra out of themselves.

Hey...who'd win in a fight...gilmour or waters...im saying gilmour..from what i hear hes like a quiet storm lol.

i wanna see themget angry...

...theyve got to get in the depressed state of mind one last time and do the wall album..in the flesh is a must....one last time!!

[QUOTE=rippa32]Theyll probably play Money and Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. There biggest hits.

Gilmour and rodger sing on wish you were here.gilmour is welcome to the MACHINE!!.waters sings on have a cigar...oh yeah!! :cool:

[QUOTE=moaner]I find i don't need drugs to enjoy pink floyd.[/QUOTE]
neither do i....music can affect me in an extreme way without any substance...drugs are for the weak.

[QUOTE=lunch998]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.[/QUOTE]
if you listened to the wall repeatedlywithout ever seeing the movie it rocks.i think seeing the movie years later kind of changed my views...limitations..but still near perfect.and the coolness of have a cigar is unmatched :cool:

get the wall and dont let your curiosity drive you to buy that movie thing...listen to the album twice..every song and really focus it's great...the movie will ruin most peoples imaginations of the songs themes...it isnt very good...

123. but there´s always hope, right? :thumb:

It's funny...being relatively new,i actually got into pink floyd in around 98.before i knew who was who,i looked at everyones pic and was able to somehow pick out the voice...i mean come on...can you imagine gilmour singing the thin ice...id laugh my *** off if he had rodgers voice...but its ok for rodger to have vocals like that because its simply him...and also...dave even looks like hed have smoother vocals..that guru.

Water's was always in the band, and Syd Barret was actually a very good songwriter/guitarist. Maybe you didn't like his style, but that doesn't mean he's terrible.

PS: Stop having a conversation with yourself, just make one big post.

Bleh, it is good that Gilmour likes to give to charity, and wants to help the poverty stricken. But I find it a bit annoying how he is always jumping down people's throats for not giving enough to charity and whatnot.(For example, Paul Mcartney)

[quote=sumthing2prove]...[/quote]
stfu

I am happy to hear that PF will have a 20 minute set. It is funny that even that length of time isnt enough to play Echoes though.

[QUOTE=slowhand]The same thing happened to Cream, and look what they did.[/QUOTE]


What did they do?

he does give tonnes though. like, his house.

or atom heart mother...

20 minutes > 12 minutes, in both senses.

it'll be time, money and brain damage, at a guess. with wish you were here. Songs they wrote otgether.

This site is pretty helpful for understanding Gilmour's tone, thought I'd share:

[url]http://www.gilmourish.com/welcome.html[/url]

[QUOTE=Mardy]What did they do?[/QUOTE]

Reunited and played again this year, during the month of May. Yeah, they did various concerts, very big deal in the music industry, I've heard. Who would've thought that Cream would made such an impact, eh?


Anyways, isnt' it funny that I posted the info on Pink Floyd being asked to play on Live Aid 2 and suddenly there was a confirmation?

Oh, and [i]Welcome To The Machine[/i] its actually sung by Roger and David. Roger is the first voice, and if you listen closely, you'll listen to a second voice, which is Dave. In an interview, Dave confessed that at one point his voice couldn't reach the note so he had to sing it faster and then it was slowed down so that it would match.

[QUOTE=sumthing2prove]Seven posts in a row! Holy crap! [/QUOTE]
Just a friendly recommendation. Tone it down a bit, try typing with proper grammar and structure, and you'll find that people are a lot more receptive to your ideas.
