[QUOTE=I'mhungryForASandwich]i got mine from target for $8[/QUOTE]
AT Target?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :eek:

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 04:14 PM

Hmm... come to think of it, that is a weird place to get a DSOTM shirt.

Not really, I got a Jimi Hendrix shirt at Kohl's.

Distant Echoes 12-20-2004 04:51 PM

I get my classic rock shirts at JCPenny. 2 for $15

Target is the worst superstore around, they have everything, but always the wrong kind. And not to mention their CD selection is HORRIBLE. they have vitually no clissic rock Cds at all except

Beatles 1
WYWH and/or DSOTM
Led Zeppelin Early Days/Latter Days
Guns N roses Greatest Hits
Aerosmith Greatest Hits
Deep Purple Greatest Hits (not the official one though)

...and thats only some Targets. No Who, Van Halen, AC/DC, Hendrix, nothing good. They suck, bottom line.

Woodstock 12-20-2004 04:52 PM

True, but I rarely go to Target for music.

jpj 12-20-2004 04:56 PM

I got a Pink Floyd shirt and a Hendrix shirt at JCPenney's, and a Zep shirt at Kaufmann's. They were all only like $15.

I hate Target.

Distant Echoes 12-20-2004 04:59 PM

I get most my music From Sam Goody or FYE at the mall...since if its not at one, itll be at the other, though there a bit overpriced, and theres two of each at the King of Prussia mall.

But there just about the only place thatll have Pink FLoyd CDs, even though the ones in stock are pretty random

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 05:00 PM

I never go shopping... I should start looking around for cool shirts.

Riva 12-20-2004 06:02 PM

I get my Pink Floyd stuff ordered, seeing as my stores are too teeny to stock Floyd. :(

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 06:39 PM

Sad. You should move to somewhere other than Australia. Lots of Floyd stuff in America and Britain. And just big cities in general.

Dr. Jake Destructo 12-20-2004 06:40 PM

I seriously need some Floyd T-shirts. The thing now though is that they're all trendy and stuff. I occaisionally walk up to people at my school wearing Led Zeppelin shirts and ask them "What's your favorite Zep album?" *blank stares from the other person* Then I walk away.

I think I"m going to make a shirt that says in plain block letters "I ACTUALLY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD." That would be awesome.

That is awesome. I would buy one of those shirts from you. It's kind of sad that listening to old music is now "trendy," as most people do it just for that reason. Same with this new fad of liking everything that was "cool" when you were 6. Like, there's this fad of everyone liking transformers and Power Rangers and stuff again. While I admit some stuff from back then was totally awesome (Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, etc.) Some of it just sucked. Power Rangers was just ****ty acting and lame fighting scenes. It was not cool. It is not cool. It never will be cool.

I always thought the cover of Meddle was like...an animal embryo or something. Crazy.

But yea, I've had the same PF shirt for 3 years, the Wall one, with the Goodbye Blue Skys robot on the front, and that pink monster on the back. It's the most common one in my school, I do belive. Once I need a new one, I wanna get my AHM shirt again. It was so ghetto.

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 07:18 PM

Not many Pink Floyd fanboys at my school. Mostly GNR and Zeppelin fan boys. And metal fans.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still the best action figures ever.

The trendy T-shirt wearing guys(They're not fanboys b/c they don't even listen to the bands) are into Ac/Dc and Zep. Luckily there aren't too many Floyd fanboys.
/off topic as well

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 07:36 PM

Grr. Stupid fanboys. Your icon cracks me up, Kombucha Mushroom Mofo. Thats hilarious.

If you could have seen Pink Floyd on any of the "album tours," which tour would it have been? For me, probably early on Dark Side of the Moon tour, because it was so new, and really defined the Pink Floyd sound, and would have just been an amazing experience. Much more impact than saying "I saw the WYWH tour."

Woodstock 12-20-2004 07:38 PM

I have too many Floyd and Zeppelin fanboys at my school.

jpj 12-20-2004 07:39 PM

My Floyd shirt is awesome. It's got a Cute little piggy on it, and says Pink Floyd in the cool font. I've never seen anyone else with it :)

And I would've liked to been at an early show, like PATGOD.

Same here. They all have The Wall hoodies. It's annoying. :upset:

I've seen it, ha, now you have to go tear it up or burn it. Fanboy.

jpj 12-20-2004 07:42 PM

Yea, but you don't live near me so it's all good :)

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 07:42 PM

Speaking of the PATGOD tour, Pink Floyd opened for Jimi Hendrix on a tour. That would've been really cool. Except apparently at the time Hendrix was against just cutting loose, so he wouldn't let Pink Floyd go crazy and do freeform instrumental space jams.

jpj 12-20-2004 07:43 PM

Really? Jimi against cutting loose? That's very odd.

Woodstock 12-20-2004 07:45 PM

That would be an odd concert. First, extremely wierd psychadelic music, and then you have hard blues rock next. Sounds great.

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 07:45 PM

It is. It was early on though, like right after Are You Experienced came out, so he was just following all the rules. I think, anyways.

Sam 12-20-2004 07:51 PM

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Not many Pink Floyd fanboys at my school. Mostly GNR and Zeppelin fan boys. And metal fans.[/QUOTE]

Yea, its not to say I don't like the shirt. I love that shirt, that album, and that song; so it's all good.

Slightly off topic, one of my friends had my old bio teacher the semester after I had her. She was selling old albums and she sold a "Live at Berlin" CD signed by Roger Waters to him for $8.

I always hated that teacher.

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 07:59 PM

What a whore! I can't believe she sold that for 8 dollars. While it would be awesome to pick it up for 8, thats just insane to sell it that cheap. I'd kill to get something like that.

What a moron, that thing should be priceless. :angry:

So I watched The Wall DVD again today and I noticed that I really love the animation for Goodbye Blue Sky. Roger Waters said the song was about the rememberance of childhood right before one sets of for the rest of his life, or the movie's case... Pink. This song gives me chills up and down my spine every listen, what is everybody elses favorite scene/part from The Wall?

Kingofdudes 12-20-2004 10:43 PM

I have a question for you guys, should a band like Pink Floyd be considered bad because they have a huge following of fans?
