[QUOTE=magicbus]I had a dream that Pink Floyd was having a reunion concert with all the members, and my mom was gonna buy me the tickets. But then I woke up :upset:[/QUOTE]

If they did have a reunion the tickets would probably be impossible to get.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I'm not good with who sang what, but I think he only had backing vocals, but the backing vocals were a big part in some songs. [B]He also wrote only one of the songs (Take up they stethoscope and walk[/B])[/QUOTE]
No, he just helped write it.

[QUOTE=Schyma]No, he just helped write it.[/QUOTE]

Oh, yea I thought it sounded a little different from the stuff Waters usally writes, I just assumed it was him alone because only he is given credit on the album.

You know, everytime I hear "Strangers passing in the streets, by chance two seperate glance meet. And I am you and what I see is me," from [i]Echoes[/i], it reminds me of "I am he, as you are, as you are me, and we are all together" from the Beatles' [i]I am the Walrus[/i].

Just something I never posted before, and didn't know why.

I found Pink Floyd quizzes on [url]www.quizilla.com[/url] to see which Pink Floyd member and song you are. Here you go:

I got David Gilmour and [i]Wish You Were Here[/i], and I like it.

"You are David Gilmour. You are great at what you do and have fun doing it, but you also aren't too concerned with what others think of you and tend to be stubborn." :cool:

The song one was full of crap. I just cheated to get to Comfortably Numb

The song is very Beatles influenced. The line "inciting and inviting me" is like the line in the Beatles song Across the Universe "inviting and inciting me" Waters actually made a reference to the Beatles in the song Let There Be More Light "and beneth his flowing robes was Lucy in the Sky" I think that as far as Echoes goes he was listening to the Beatles or just thinking about them and their philoshy just sort of inspired him and he wrote a song sort of like it. Not to rip the off at all, just to share his own philisophy. He may have also just thought of the philosphy before he heard I am the Walrus, and that inspired him to write his own. Either way this is just another example of how far the Beatles influence goes.

Well, I tried not to cheat on the song one. Though it was very clear which answer was for each of the song. I just tried not to think about it and got [i]Wish You Were Here[/i].

That's why it sounded so familiar...

"You are Syd Barrett. You are creative and extremely gifted, but you tend to have mood swings and can be somewhat bipolar."

Meh I kinda had a feeling.

Thanks for the link :thumb:

No prob.

I was bored and had nothing to do. I thought that might spice things up a bit.

I was thinking the same thing, that would be better for those who don't recognize the lyrcis.

I got Comfertably Numb. Then it yelled at me for taking drugs and told me I was going to die :upset:

Something about getting OD in a hotel room, right?

[QUOTE=slowhand]Something about getting OD in a hotel room, right?[/QUOTE]

:lol: yea, meh I don't think so going to a hotel room would require me to leave my house.....

Well, who knows? Mabe you'll become a rock star... RIght?

[QUOTE=slowhand]Well, who knows? Mabe you'll become a rock star... RIght?[/QUOTE]

:lol: Yeah thats thats the best outcome, for the worst I'll cheak into the hotel room with a suitcase of herion. Though if my best outcome works out then I increase my chances of reaching the worst outcome of dying in the hotel room.......cosmic......

Yes, isn't that just fantastic? =D

See Emily Play is probably the best music video ever

Where can one find it?

[QUOTE=Gilmour]See Emily Play is probably the best music video ever[/QUOTE]

it is a very strange video, with them just playing there in that field. espically with Wright just standing there pointing at the other guys. But I have a video for Jugband Blues that is really trippy and odd to watch. Because Syd just sits there with no facial expression and sings. and at one point the band is playing horns and stuff.

Arnold Layne is by far the wierdest one. Go watch at the official Floyd site (after some searching).

I've seen that one too, but I love See Emily Plays. Especially Nick on air drums.

Somthing I always wondered. Was that preformance of Jugband Blues from when the band had so much trouble getting him to mimick the song for TV?

You are Roger Waters. You are driven and talented, but you'll do just about anything to get what you want, how you want it, no matter who or what it costs you.

You are Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here. You are confused and lost. you may feel that you've lost connection with your lover.

So, has anyone else seen the video I described a while back?

You I never knowticed it till just now when listening to it and thining about the lyrics, Chater 24 has to be one of the best philosphy driven Pink Floyd songs.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]So, let's talk about Pink Floyd. I was listening to Comfortably Numb, off The Wall, and then I listened to it live, off Delicate Sound Of Thunder, and I must admit that it sounds better live. However, the studio version of Time sounds much better than the live version. What are your thoughts?

Also, what do you think the most haunting lyrics are in a Pink Floyd song?

I think it would have to be Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, or Run Like Hell. What do you think?[/QUOTE]


i think goodbye blue sky

I reckon comfortably numb has got the most haunting lyrics

Comfortably numb is simply my favourite song ever

Wow, flash from the past.

Goodbye Blue Sky is a great song, but it's lyrics are more provocative, where as Wish You Were Here is really haunting.

what are the guitar solos on wish you were here like?

Brilliant. Probably Gilmour's most soulful works.

fantastic! that's the album I should get next then!

Oh yes. It's easily my favourite album.

I was thinking about getting the wall album but then I was reading about the troubles the band was having at the time. So does it reflect on the music and therefore make a bad album?

Not at all. The Wall is a brilliant album, possibly one of the best concept albums ever recorded. Roger outdid himself in his storytelling. If you read some reviews of it, you can see how the troubles the band had only intesified the mood of the album.

Okay ill get it. I was reading lyrics and I absolutley love the last songs lyrics (the mad buggers wall line). But what is the actual concept of the album? is it rogers life?

It is the life of a rockstar called Pink. Basically, it reflects both Roger and Syd Barrett (The original guitarist for the band), but it is much more Roger than Syd. It's a great album.

So the story is actually made up? does that mean the storie to the movie was too?

Yes, the Wall album is almost identical to The Wall movie.
