I'm not saying Mason wasn't a good fit, but the fact remains that he wasn't very good.

Here wo go with the "ZOMG hit fit perfectly, kept time, and was solid. Therefore he's an amazing drummer". This is commonly known as the Ringo Starr Argument.

I won't start another debate about why I love Mason, but I will state what I believe is a common fact; Mason > Ringo any day of the week. At the very least, Mason had some variety in his grooves, not just bass->snare->bass->snare in 4/4 for every song. His drumming definitely went downhill over time (a product I believe of a combination of their shift from psychadelic to space rock and Water's [and Gilmour's] growing power struggle and perfectionism), but he definitely has his shining moments.

He wasn't an amazingly technical drummer, but he wasn't a bad one either.

They are showing The Wall on Fuse right now. Anyone else watching it? I haven't seen it in a long time. So it's sweet to get to watch it again (even if it does have commercials thrown in between).

Who's the person screaming in the great gig in the sky?

Clare Torrey.

YOU PEOPLE LEAVE RINGO ALONE!

Octopus' Garden is a good song :upset:

She has a fantastic voice.

I think Mason is a decent drummer. Most of the time he'll just settle for the basic rythms and such, but he sure is able to pull out some interesting things. Like on the live version of A Saucerful Of Secrets from Live At Pompeii, what he does there is quite nice (though still not hard or anything). The live version of ASOS is by the way much better than the original, I must say, I love the one from LAP but was kinda disappointed with the one on the album. The same goes for Set The Controls actually. I think this really shows how Pink Floyd had grown as a band between ASOS and Meddle.

Yea the album version of SOS isn't the best, but you should listen to it on Ummagumma. That's my favorite one. I like Gilmour's vocals at the end better on Ummagumma than on LAP.

Ringo had a big nose, AND YOU KNOW IT!

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]True, but a monster like Flo Mournier wouldn't have suited Pink Floyd, I think.

Oh no doubt. I don't even think Neil Peart or John Bonham would have worked, he had a unique style, it just.. Worked.

I still have to buy the CD version of [i]Ummagumma[/i]. The tape doesn't have the live section. You crazy kids and your newfangledthingamujigs.

Who, Ringo?

No silly. Clare Torrey.



omg 1k! :chug:

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]She has a fantastic voice.[/QUOTE]

I love her voice. Her solo in Great Gig In The Sky and Gimme Shelter are breath taking. It is very hard to win me over with just a voice but she certainly does it.

999, fag! :angray:

Riva, don't even try. I'm the #1 Python fan, and you know it :hXc:

Animals is the coolest album ever. I'd love to play an extended jam version of Dogs if I ever get the chance :cool:

EDIT: I just noticed you actually changed your name to Riva. I'm slow at stuff like this.

I'd give an arm and a leg to have been alive back when they were touring for Animals.

I'm making yet another CR mix, probably gonna be putting a lot of PF on it. Wish me luck, these things take a combination of blood, sweat, tears, and luck to make good :p

Pink Foyd proves that being "different" is good.

If Pink Floyd was a type of car, it would be the best car.

Bootlegs *work too
*kinda, but it's better than nothing

[QUOTE=fwqhgads]If Pink Floyd was a type of car, it would be the best car.[/QUOTE]

Haha. Done.. but it wasn't the best kind of car. It was a Golf I believe.

I'd give a lot of money to be at any Pink Floyd tour. I'd probably want to hang on to my limbs though, simply so I could hug all the members in a strictly heterosexual way.

I'll prolly pick up either Relics or Obscured by Clouds next weekend.

Obscured By Clouds first.

Pink Floyd experience is doing a show in my city. I have seen them before, pretty good. I probably won't go though.

[QUOTE=Riva]Obscured By Clouds first.[/QUOTE]

Definitely, great album. I've been listening to it a bunch lately.

fwqhgads, I wish they would come around where I live.

"The Machine" is coming to NY soon. Good show?

I'll probably check it out.
