Everything they did is good, but AMLOR isn't as fantastic as other stuff.

i didnt like a momentary lapse in reason... it was weird for me

It was probably different because w/out Waters, David Gilmour got to do whatever the hell he felt like doing

The Gilmour sound is much better than the Waters sound IMO...The Wall (a la waters sound just did not seem floydian. Meddle is the floyd sound. :)

Thing is, Gilmour has never been as strong of a songwriter as Roger. But when it comes to the musical aspect Gilmour > Roger, every time.

I agree, Gilmour lacks in writing.

I picked up the Live in Pompeii, and wow. if you havent heard it, buy it. one of these days is badas*, echoes is my favorite. they added some cgi and made it much more of a stoner video than ever before.

In my opinion the most haunting Pink Floyd song has got to be Jugband Blues. Basically Syd singing about being schizo for a few minutes.

how exaclty does the wizard of oz with DSOTM work?

[QUOTE=MustkillLois6712]how exaclty does the wizard of oz with DSOTM work?[/QUOTE]
I personaly havent done it but you are supposed to start DSOTM when the Lion roars for the thrird time or something.

ok thx. i just found DSOTM in my dad's cd cabinet. so i figured what the hell ill try it out

[QUOTE=MustkillLois6712]how exaclty does the wizard of oz with DSOTM work?[/QUOTE]
On the third roar of the MGM lion, you start the album. I think.

i use to be scared to listen to pink floyd because all i listened to was the begginings of all the songs in dsotm

If you can hear this, you are dying.

*gasp* GIR!!!

...sorry off topic

I was recently having a discussion with somebody about pink floyd. He swore blind that pink floyd were an "old school punk band". Now usually I tend not to worry about labels as they tend to carry images with them and make music more of an elitist club than something for the enjoyment of the masses, but this statement confused me. To me pink floyd had always been prog rock, seemingly an almost complete opposite to anything punk. I asked him in what way he felt they were a punk band, but he seemed to think the answer was far to obvious to bother repeating to me, and then directed me here, telling me I'd learn something.

Now I don't consider myself an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but since I first heard my dad's copy of DSoTM so many years ago I've been getting my ears into everything of theirs I could find, but apparently I'm missing something. So, have I just missed an entire collection of little known pink floyd punk, or am I just so ignorant that I haven't realised I was listening to punk all these years?

Your friend is a dunce. He pointed you here to prove himself wrong I guess.

can anyone here see any form of old school punk in pink floyd? I tried, I can't.

Maybe in some of Gilmour's, and Water's bridges... such as that short, funky riff in Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2

Barrett is so UNDERtrated, IMO

Don't worry about him, your true friends won't say that Pink Floyd is punk.

:lol: That riff is actually influenced by disco

[QUOTE=MetalpunKNinjA]If you can hear this, you are dying.[/QUOTE]
Hey, that can be pretty scary if you're not expecting it... :upset:

I just got into Pink Floyd and they're awesome. I am looking for some more of their good songs though. Ones I know already are Dark Side of the Moon, Another Brick in the wall, and Comfortably Numb. What are some other good ones?

Dark Side of the Moon is an album not a song.

And I love that ABITW pt 2 riff. Especially on the bridge pickup. I've been trying forever to get tone like Gilmours on SOYCD, but my guitar blows. Can't wait till I get that strat.

What is that song that has the lyrics "dark side of the moon" in it then? And it starts out saying the lunatic is on the grass.

Well well, of course like all Floyd songs, thats not just the guitar making that sound...youve got a ton of effects

Compressor
Overdrive mid gain
Chorus
Phaser
Delay w/ low feedback
Reverb

Thats all the efects he uses for just the intro solo, but i dont know what their set on or what the tone on his guitar is set on. But still, its an incredible sound.

David Gilmour is a master at using his effects very well, alot of the guitar on Animals has cool effects too. :)

Well, it looks like two discussions have cropped up in the forum about Pink Floyd. I'm posting the links, but please try to discuss them in here, the official thread, rather than there, the illegal thread.

Now, I know I have never pushed for this to be the sole place for PF discussion on MX, but I think since we are official, I will try to keep it all in here. So, I will be happy to discuss these things, just I will discuss them in here.
