Mason....I'd say he's competent. He's a good enough drummer, but nothing to really write home about.

I never said he was amazing, but I think he is really overlooked as a member of the band, as many drummers are. Plus, Mason needs love every once in a while in the PF thread :p

Now to Rick Wright... he's really good at piano/keys/engineering, amiwright?

I think Mason was a pretty good drummer. some of his Drum lines are quite complicated.

Mason has a devastating growl.

*listens to One Of These Days*

Is that Mason that says that?

I listen to Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, and I love the drums for that. Not overly technical but sound great.

On another note I finally got Animals today after putting it off for a long time. I was seriously missing out. My question is does anyone know who sang what on the album? To my ears Gilmour sang the lot except the two Pig On The Wing ones which were sung by Waters. Can anyone confirm that?

[QUOTE=Doctor Night V.2.0]Is that Mason that says that?[/QUOTE]

Yes it is.

I think Mason's alright, nothing special though. He's good for Floyd's music, because insane drums with crazy flourishes and other stuff wouldn't fit the mellow style very much.

I like the movie Tommy, I've never seen the wall.

And Cymbaline>The Nile Song

And would anybody be interested in a "who has the most Floyd on their computer" competition?

I have 303 Floyd songs, which equals about 2.3 GB.

I'm not really a big "Cymbaline" fan at all. "Cirrus Minor" beats out both of those songs.

I suppose you could call it that. He actually recorded it normally, just talking into a microphone, and they slowed it down to give it that effect.

The two Pigs On The Wings were sung by Waters, as well as Pigs, Sheep, and most of Dogs. On Dogs at the beginning they have a part where it's two dogs talking, Gilmour is the older wiser dog, and Waters is the other one.

What is the other thing Mason said again? I know he says "one of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces," but there's another comment layered with it, and I don't recall what it is, and I'm too into my current music to change and find out at the moment.

I have 238 Floyd songs. Quite a lot but I'm owned by Bus.

Waters sings the majority of Animals.

And I remember that Mason says something else. I remember listening to One of These Days on headphones, and there's a different message in each ear. But I forget what the other one is.

I only have 107 Floyd Songs, mostly because I haven't bothered listening to most later floyd, in fact I think Animals is pretty weak.

So I downloaded David Gilmour's new album, but I'm sure at least some of you already did. I like it personally, though the title track and the music video isn't that good.

I also have 303 Floyd songs. Crazy. Only it comes to about 2.6 GB on my computer.

In one channel of One Of These Days it says "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces", while the other channel says "One of these days, I'm going to dance with the evil beast". There is some debate about it saying "One of these days, I'm going to drop from the human species" as well. Awesome either way :)

I think Schyma has gone clinically insane.

Aural illusion i'm afraid. In the same way that people can hear words in stairway to heaven backwards.

No, there is definitely a difference in the two channels. It's debatable what is actually the difference betwen the two, but if you isolate the two channels, you can hear a clear difference. Trust me, try it. Listen to one headphone alone, and then the other alone. It's wierd.

Im gonna do some blades and get totally ripped and then listen to pink floyd!!:)

[QUOTE=Erotomania]Im gonna do some blades and get totally ripped and then listen to pink floyd!!:)[/QUOTE]
Sounds like fun :)

I didn't get to go to the CD store today :( I was gonna buy some Gov't Mule, they're supposed to be a good band from what I hear. I guess I'll go tomorrow.

"If" is a really good song, so mellow and stuff.

I like If. I like Meddle in general. I have to say though, One Of These Days is one of my least favorite tracks on that album. I guess I'm the anomaly there, though.

If isn't on Meddle :lol: n00000b :p

I'd say Seamus is my least fave on Meddle, but I still love it :)

fearless is probably my favorite track off Meddle right now, even though it constantly changes between that and Echoes

[QUOTE]One Of These Days is one of my least favorite tracks on that album. I guess I'm the anomaly there, though.[/QUOTE]

123, I love it, but I think it's outweighed by the others.

Fearless is definitely on my Top 5 Best Songs of All Time Ever. <3 Nosferatu :-*

You see, I love this thread, because we can spam every once in a while without getting bitched at :) Because it's not spam if it's about PF, but some people think if it's a short post omg spam!

/rant

Cry me a river. No one in the CR thread ever said we couldn't have some off-topic discussion now and then. Stop blowing things out of proportion when it's really no big deal.

<3 Lunch

I'm just playin' :p

So anyway, When did everyone first hear Meddle? I bought it one night a long trip and just sat on my couch and listened to it the whole way through :) What a great memory.

I got it for Christmas a year ago and listened to it for like 2 weeks straight. It's been my #1 Floyd album for quite some time now.

How does everyone have so many songs by PF? I have all Studio releases and DSoT, and a bootleg...

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to work out right now... I have most studio releases and two bootlegs, and that's not too too much, but only about half of what 'bus has. I can't figure out where he's getting all those songs either.

I have 184 Floyd songs, but it's not even a whole GB.

My favourites from Meddle are A Pillow Of Winds and San Tropez. Also I just listened to that line from One Of These Days once in the left speaker and once in the right but I didn't hear a difference. I have a 1992 remaster CD that was released in 1994, could that be the problem?

Did Waters really sing all of the Animals album? Wow, Im even worse at picking the difference than I thought.

[QUOTE]Did Waters really sing all of the Animals album? Wow, Im even worse at picking the difference than I thought.[/QUOTE]

Don't feel too bad, for about the first two months I listened to Floyd, I thought only Waters sang.

David Gilmour's solo album is out this Tuesday. Who else is gonna buy it besides me?

<------ is going to buy it :)

I actually haven't heard the single yet, my radio station hasn't played it when I've heard it.

I would kill to hear the single, but my radio station hasn't come through for me. I'll definitely be buying the album, if only to support Gilmour. I've heard it's supposed to be pretty good though.

Maybe, assuming I have the cash.

That would be awesome if his tour would come to my town.

[QUOTE=Deconstruction]How does everyone have so many songs by PF? I have all Studio releases and DSoT, and a bootleg...[/QUOTE]

I have most of the studio releases (missing The Final Cut) and I have several bootlegs as well (11 I think).
