Yeah, that was the price when he came to Brisbane. Too bad I had to chuck the cost of a return plane ticket onto that as well.

I wonder how much the full band would charge for a ticket if they were together...

like they did it for free @ Live 8, but I don't know. A good seat would be like $250. And about 3/4 of that would be for Waters presence alone so

Well, they said they'd get back together for charity events, so I guess it'd be free again, or a donation to the charity. So it could be pot luck, like tickets to Live8, or it could be an expensive "donation".

Oh too bad.

I'll never experience the magic of Dogs being played live. :'(

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan;14474742]uh Roger Waters was near my location last month

the bastard was like $120 for the good seats

and I thought **** that he isn't even going to play anything of animals

and he didn't so I'm happy[/QUOTE]

I saw him in Feb, he played Sheep

No but I want Dogs. I don't give a crap about Sheep

>:[

tojes is srs business

anyway, I've been listening to Dark Side a fair bit lately. I'm in love with the lyrics to Time.

I love the ending to Time.

[I]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone,
The song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say... [/I]

But, I love Breathe's better:

[I]Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun.
When at last the work is done, don't sit down, it's time to dig another one.[/I]

i'm going. my parents got tickets (i have to pay for half or possibly the whole thing which'll be a bitch.) but yeah, i'm excited!

yeah those are great.

I think my favourite from Time though is this

[I]And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death [/I]

't[tkhdtjn'dm;'/#;rkotrjhuirhsori!
YES!
Those are my favorite lyrics by anyone, ever. Just, great.
The outro to Dogs is great aswell.

[I]Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.[/I]

Long, but great.

I think Dogs is my favourite Floyd song. I really love that ending as well. Such a strong finish to a great song.

Dogs is definitely one of the greatest Floyd songs ever. Quite possibly my favorite ever.

That is so good. That whole song is amazing. The whole album is.

I like the lyrics form [I]Nobody Home[/I] off The Wall:
[I]I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.[/I]

They are my favourite lyrics ever, period.

Meh I missed out on my Roger Waters tickets I think :/

You know that song was about Syd don't you? Im not saying the lyrics are crap, just some trivia for you.:thumb:

Yes! [B]Nobody Home[/B] is my favourite song lyrically off of [I]The Wall[/I]. Even musically it's brilliant, but not as good as [B]Goodbye Blue Sky[/B].

And my favourite lyric from [B]Dogs[/B] is definitely [I]"And its too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around"[/I]

[QUOTE=rippa32;14479626]You know that song was about Syd don't you? Im not saying the lyrics are crap, just some trivia for you.:thumb:[/QUOTE]

Hehe, well, the majority of the album is about Syd anyway.

Every time I think I've found a favorite Floyd lyric, I remember another song and think they're my favorite lyrics. It's a vicious cycle, really.

I havent been listening to much Floyd over the last few weeks, but I might have to change that. Haha! Charade you are!

I know what you mean but it does seem like everyone goes back to Time.

Ya, Time is my fallback choice. Whenever I'm forced to choose for whatever reason, I go with the entirety of Time. Such a great song.

What are some of Pink Floyd's Classic/great CDs? I've finally bought Dark Side of the Moon, and it is amazing.

Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Meddle, Animals, and Dark Side are good places to start.

[QUOTE=magicbus;14484328]Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Meddle, Animals, and Dark Side are good places to start.[/QUOTE]

123

if you get all those by then you'll know what you wanna buy next

alright thanks

I recommend getting Meddle next, and then the more Roger oriented stuff ie The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here.

Or for shock sakes, go with Ummagumma and all that crazy stuff.

Yeah, you could always go for the [I]Atom Heart Mother, Saucerful Of Secrets, Ummagumma[/I] route. :p

[QUOTE]Dogs is definitely one of the greatest Floyd songs ever. Quite possibly my favorite ever.[/QUOTE]
I think Shine On You Crazy Diamond would be my favourite.

Which part?
