[QUOTE=magicbus;14155831]No, Dave definitely did all the slide work.[/QUOTE]

where the hell did i hear that then. I heard it was roger with a slack tuned fender strat or something

Well David played a bass with old worn down strings on One Of These Days, along with Roger. Maybe you just got mixed up?

I can rank my two favorite Floyd albums, but after that, they're just "good" or "not so good".

Yeah, that galloping bass intro is great. And on [I]Delicate Sound Of Thunder[/I] it sounds even better, though the rest of the song isn't as good as the [I]Meddle[/I] version.

Also, out of interest, who pronounces [I]Meddle[/I] as "meddle", (such as being nosy) and who says it as "medley" (like an amalgamation of things)?

I say it both ways, depending on if I'm thinking it or saying it. :p

I say, you're Australian and I don't quite understand how you can get "medley" out of "meddle"

I say it "Meddle"

Well, I've heard it pronounced Medley by Roger, actually. I think...

Crazy.

Roger may say it "medley" but he sure spelled it wrong if that's the case.

i was listening to the madcap laughs the other day

Do you have the one with all the outtakes on it?

Some of those are pretty crazy. Which makes sense, seeing as Syd was crazy.

I have that version, and I love it. I think it shows how child-like Syd's view of the world was at times.

I still haven't heard [I]the Madcap Laughs[/I]. I have heard [I]Barrett[/I] though, which I think is an ok album.

[SIZE="1"]I'm gonna go download The Madcap Laughs now.[/SIZE]

I don't really like [B]Barrett.[/B] I want to hear [I]Madcap Laughs.[/I] I as well have never heard it. :(

I never even considered pronouncing it "medley"

Roger's prone to mistakes though. In several interviews I've read [i]and[/i] seen, he keeps saying that [b]Corporal Clegg[/b] was on their first album. And it isn't, quite frankly.

Anyone else seen noticed this???

Well, it [I]was[/I] almost 40 years ago when that came out.

I'm not such a fan of Barret, either. It's alright, but I kind of like the feel from The Madcap Laughs. You can tell it's really Syd on that album, if you know what I mean.

For the record, I say metal.

Another one? Ive always said Meddle.

med·dle tbh, I never heard anyone else pronounce it otherwise. Medley is just weird.

And I don't like much of any of Sid's solo work. I'm not even a big fan of his Floyd work.

what Surf said. I'm rediscovering the awesome of Syd Barretts'-Floyd era... wow. Brilliant music.

Yeah I've always pronounced it pretty much the way it's spelled.

Edit: Meddle without the "E" sound at the end. I also think it's weird to say it that way.

[QUOTE]Also, out of interest, who pronounces Meddle as "meddle"[/QUOTE]
I say it that way. The thought of pronouncing it another way has never crossed my mind until now.

That's the only way that I've ever thought of pronouncing it. How is it meant to be pronounced?

I've always thought of it as like "med-del"

Just hear about that this afternoon. Nothing's set in stone or anything, but that would be pretty incredible. I would go to LA for that.

Just found that, too. Should be cool.

They will turn it down of course.

and it sucks

How so?

[QUOTE=TheMisterBungle;14178806]They will turn it down of course.[/QUOTE]

I reckon they'll do it. They said that the only shows they would do are charity ones. That's a charity one isnt it?

Also, not mentioned in that article, is they're trying to get Zeppelin to re-unite for the concert.

I think Floyd would do it. The bigger obstacle is actually going through with the concerts.

EDIT: Nevermind, it does mention Zeppelin.
