The pentagram is based off the Baphomet and was a Christian symbol long before it was a pagan one. The sunwheel was a pagan symbol for a long time though, and now is seen as evil in its perverted form (the swastika).

Duals are wonderful and you can usually find them for around 50 bucks on ebay.

[QUOTE=Riva;14327034]The Baphomet symbol, and the pentagram (without the Goat) was actually an alternative to the cross, and widely used throughout Christianity until the time of Constantine the First, I think.

Also, the inverted cross is actually the Cross of St. Peter. :p Hardly a symbol of the devil.[/QUOTE]
Right. There is a lot of interesting and confusing history behind many symbols.

What made me think of baphomet when I saw the Ummagumma cover was the circular object (gong?) at the very top. In the image of baphomet, there is a candle or torch atop the goat's head which symbolizes intelligence, enlightenment and/or illumination. I think.

Thank you, that is actually quite helpful. Must spread rep :/

Well, I don't think the Baphomet this was intentional, its just looks cool is all.

Sure thing, I used to have the coolest direct-drive Dual. The platter alone was so amazingly heavy, it was so cool. Those Germans really can build them.

Heh, yeah, ours was a Dual too. I need to get a new one also, eventually the repairs just got too much.

Well I got a question for you guitar playing people, I heard David Gilmour uses a big muff pedal for his guitar yet I always thought that was more often used in heavier music. Does anyone know what song he used the muff in?

Here you go man.

I just watched the Wall for the first time last night.

I was very disappointed. Chemical enhancement may have helped, it's hard to sit through a full length movie when there is no dialogue.

Dialogue? Who cares it told a story, and there was lyrics so it's not like there was no words.

Oh and coneman thanks for that site, and I always assumed he used amp distortion, ah well.

I was going to watch it on vh1 last night but I fell asleep before it started

I wish I had a Big Muff pedal.

I had that problem too. I still liked it, but it does try my patience.

I have a Double Muff pedal

I didnt have a problem with The Wall, but I can see why some people would. It's still a good movie, dialogue or not.

Well for me, it was easier to understand because I already owned the album and researched all the meanings. Also Ive found some people have trouble hearing the lyrics on the album, myself included then I listened to it with a lyrics sheet until I got used to it.

The Wall is a great movie. As I've said before, the animated parts are the best part of the entire film.

I thought it was worse then the actual ablum itself, which for me is a pretty bad thing. Worse off was the fact that Bob Geldof was in it.

Oh, that's pretty bad then.

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:
