[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]I realize I've asked this before but does anyone know who did the cover of WYWH with the vocalist from Radiohead? I know he sings it, but it's not Radiohead doing the insturmentals. I'd say it's probably the best Floyd cover I've heard.

On a side note...*learns "Breathe in the Air"*[/QUOTE]

No clue, but Breathe is awesome. The chord progression is classic.

I love the slide too.

[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]Wow, I never realized how awesome your avatar is! What was the point of the thread though?[/QUOTE]

to discuss the greatness of syd barrett

Wouldn't that sound kind of crappy, if it was recorded over the phone?

Well, I know a lot of famous actors record animation voice-overs from their own home sometimes. I think if you get a dedicated line, without interference, it works well.

They did that in one of the Shrek movies. Two of the main actors (I forget who) were never in the same room together, yet they had plenty of conversations.

I guess. I dunno, phone lines always just seem staticy to me.

I have Wish You Were Here, The Wall, DSOTM, A Momentery Lapse of Reason, Meddle, Animals, The Division Bell, and A Sauceful of Secrets... Soo my question is which one should I get next? I was thinking A Piper at the Gates of Dawn, to hear more Syd Barret, but what is your guy's advice?

Why not, I'm sure you'll end up getting it eventually.

Yeah, I'd say go with PATGOD.

Congrats on the stars Deus.

PATGOD reminds me of The Doors.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]PATGOD reminds me of The Doors.[/QUOTE]
Some of the music does.....I guess.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Congrats on the stars Deus.[/QUOTE]

Thank you very much. Whats the difference between having 3 and 4?

I can sort of see the Doors/PATGOD connection, but The Doors are much more keyboard heavy, if I remember PATGOD well.

I dont know what the difference between 3 and 4 is?

Thats why its reminds me of them, Its not the same but lyrically and somewhat musically they are similar.
You have 3 stars until you reach 1.5k posts.

Ahh... got it. Yeah, they are pretty similar.

Oh.

Yeah I'm still not sure about the relation between the Doors and PATGOD

Listen for yourself. (if you can)

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Listen for yourself. (if you can)[/QUOTE]
Of course I can. I some of the songs. Insteller Overdrive is in a class of it's own though.

Im not saying its the same or direct. Just the sound reminds me of The Doors.

Unfortunately I have only heard about it, but want to get my hands on it eventually. Sounds good.

I knew Pink Floyd's stuff with Syd Barret reminded me of something, and sure enough, it is the doors. I think it must be Barret's voice that reminds me of The Doors.

i love pink floyd - they make up 3 of the 6 uncopied albums i own, and i listen to tributes live whenever i can. i just want to say that i heard the scissor sisters version of comfortably numb on some chart programme at 3am, and i was disgusted (in a similar way to when i heard the scooter version of the logical song). at 9am i then had an argument with someone in my band over which song was actually better (as if there was anything to argue about). the original pink floyd version rocks, and i love pink floyd lyrics. it was great when i first understood the deep depressing meanings of the songs, cos i started listening to them early on.

i also heard pink floyd sued the bloodhound gang for the lyrics "just another d**k with no balls" (no its not duck with no balls). i thought that was a bit miserable of them - cant they take a joke? i found that song quite funny...

[QUOTE] also heard pink floyd sued the bloodhound gang for the lyrics "just another d**k with no balls" (no its not duck with no balls). i thought that was a bit miserable of them - cant they take a joke? i found that song quite funny...[/QUOTE]

i would have sued them if i was floyd too, Bloodhound gang are idots.

I don't really think Barrett's work remind me of anything else. It's quite original. Lyrically anyway. If anything, it kind of sounds like some Beatles stuff. PATGOD reminds me of Sgt. Pepper's/Magical Mystery Tour. MMT came out quite awhile after it though.

PATGOD came the same year as SGT. Pepper. Both are psychadelic which would explain why they sound the same.

They were recorded at the same time, in the same place. Abbey Road. The two bands hung out somewhat at the time, but the Beatles were obviously huge at the time, while Pink Floyd were a little known band with potential. I have honestly heard a story of the two smoking a joint outside on Abbey Road one day. That conversation must have been interesting. :D

Yeah, that would be a fun conversation to watch. And to retard robbie, I would sue them too. Bloodhound Gang are just obnoxious.

Sorry to get off topic, but Deusexmachina, did you get your screen name from Deus-ex the game or ExMachina the comic book?

Neither. I got it from being a geek who likes Greek plays and philosophy.

Blast! Your name is the contraption that lowers people onto the stage as if they were flying, though I'm sure your friend told you that already.

My friend...? Yeah, it flies in and saves people. But more than that, it represents divine intervention, or "The Machine of the Gods."

Don't worry Deus, I love Greek mythology too. We're reading the Iliad right now in Lit and Comp, but next semester I'm taking a Mythology class.

Worst use of Deus Ex Machina ever: Sir Walter Scott's [I]Ivanhoe[/I]

anyway, I've always kinda looked at Pink Floyd as a potentially good band gone terribly wrong. They almost remind me of the Velvet Underground, and "Bike" is the most unintentionally funny song I have ever heard. Nothing after [I]PATGOD[/I], however, was at all interesting to me. In all fairness though, they're probably the most creative re-writers in all of popular music. Their songs are so varied musically, and yet they all sound the same.

I thought in meant "God from Machine"

you are only coming through in waves.

No One has mentioned Echoes, it is haunting and expresses Syd Barrett at his best.
I Really like Animals and Wish You Were Here as Albums though.
