The ONLY Pink Floyd thread

[zeppelinpage4]

LOL :p: ^^

This DVD is so full historical holes and stinks like week old
Limburger...

This is such a poorly made DVD of such an incredible album. Obviously banking of the success of Eagle Rock's "Classic Album"
series,the pirates at Edgehill have thrown together a documentary that could have been done by someone in middle school.
Here is the short list of what went so terribly bad with this release

1) They do NOT USE the music of Pink Floyd but rather opt for a "cover band" to play the songs on this documentary.

2) The "experts" interviewed and the "host" of the DVD appear to know about Pink Floyd only what they happen to be reading off the cue cards.

3)When actual footage of the members of Pink Floyd does appear you can hardly see it through the credits and copyrights listed on the screen at the same time

4)One "engineer" flubs the pronunciation of the Floyd song,"Astronomy Domine" and then just says, "Or whatever the name of that song was" and continues on with his mis-informed opinion on what the band was thinking and going through at the time of the recording.

Do yourself a favor, make your own DVD on "Wish You Were Here and then do me a favor and sell me one.

:haha funny review...

[TheHeartbreaker]

It is the proper film...but was taken out of the movie...it was originally filmed for the movie
It appears as an extra on the DVD along with some other stuff such as promos etc..

Umkay.

[Gin_Rummy]

The late 60s thing is called "London '66-'67" and includes Interstellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie ;)

Heh, funny, I just bought that today. $2 at Best Buy.

[Blues Breaker]

That is such a cool DVD. Both songs are amazing. Plus colour footage or Syd and the gang.

How cool is the slide inside the hall!!!

[stonegolem13]

^Should probably get that one too then :p:

:haha:haha:haha...lol...you americans stole PF's equipment!!!

[FreddieMercury]

every one see waters is doing another huge 07 tour? i know hes coming to boston :)

[zeppelinpage4]

Really?
I'm gonna check and see if he's coming by here.

[Page&HammettFan]

OMG we stole PFs' equipment, we steal stuff whenever there's a hurricane (a.k.a. Katrina)...We're one ****ed up city man. Geeze.

[rplb]

OMG!!!! Waters is coming to vancouver no date yet !!!! HELL YES i never thouht it would happen

[BrainDamage]

Apparently, according to the 2007 tour t-shirt, Waters is coming back to New Jersey and New York. I will for sure be at the New Jersey one, and depending on when the New York one is and if I can find a way to get there, I'll try to get to that one also.

I'm still kicking myself for not taking lower level, midway back seats at MSG back in September :(

[Page&HammettFan]

MSG?? This is what...?

[BrainDamage]

^^Madison Square Garden in NYC? Waters played there twice last year, September 12th and 13th I believe. I could have had two seats in the first level off the floor about halfway back to one of the shows (I can't remember which). I wanted to go, but I ended up not going figuring, hey I saw him the week before in the 24th row and I'm seeing Aerosmith on the 14th, so I'll let this one slide.

I'm regretting my decision now that I think about it :(

[TheHeartbreaker]

MSG?? This is what...?

:eek:

I hope you don't live in the States, then you are (somewhat) excused...

[Page&HammettFan]

*SLAPS SELF IN FOREHEAD*

No shit.... Zeppelin have footage there that I watch constantly.... Guess I wasn't thinking about it. Can't believe I didn't think about that.

THAT'S A COUPLE HOURS AWAY! i'll have to look more into it, anyone know ticket prices???

[zeppelinpage4]

Yeah I want to look into those tickets ASAP...

well, considering the actual dates haven't even been announced yet, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they aren't on sale...

Again, who knows if these will change by the time they are announced. The only way I know of these are going by a picture of the back of a t-shirt :p:

[SGstriker]

He (Roger Waters) was in my area a few months ago. He supposedly played the entire DSOTM in its entirety. I couldn't go because of school and lack of money.

[psychodelia]

School sucks, man. I missed several great shows last year because of graduation events that had to take place at night.

[BrainDamage]

He (Roger Waters) was in my area a few months ago. He supposedly played the entire DSOTM in its entirety. I couldn't go because of school and lack of money. I saw him on the night before my first day of school :) And yeah, his whole 2006 tour was the Dark Side of the Moon tour, he played Dark Side in its entirety as the second set. I'm assuming he'll do the same in '07.

[Page&HammettFan]

I don't know if I'd wanna see Roger. David Gilmour was more integral in the vocal performance of Pink Floyds' music than Roger was. It's funny though, they wanna play Pink Floyd songs but they won't just bite the damn bullet and make up with each other. Then, the shows would be even more incredible.

[zeppelinpage4]

Perhaps one day... I would rather see Gilmour and I hate myself for not seeing him when he came by last year, but it's too late now any ideas if he's doing anything now?

Still Waters should be great

and Money come to mind. :p:

[BrainDamage]

I don't know if I'd wanna see Roger. trust me, you want to see Roger.

[Page&HammettFan]

:haha

Okay. I'll see if my dad would wanna go to that. Still would prefer to see the Floyd in their entirety.

[Gin_Rummy]

Why do the Floyd guys hate Texas? Gilmour didn't show, Waters doesn't seem to be turning up...well, at least the Who like us.

[Page&HammettFan]

As if someone is going to know the answer to that question? Besides, if you're really interested in seeing a band, then you have to be willing to travel a bit to do so.

[TheHeartbreaker]

Why do the Floyd guys hate Texas? Gilmour didn't show, Waters doesn't seem to be turning up...well, at least the Who like us.

They haven't come by me yet, either.

[jac_murphy]

Why do the Floyd guys hate Texas? Gilmour didn't show, Waters doesn't seem to be turning up...well, at least the Who like us.

Because Waters and Gilmour are commie liberal hippies and Texas is full of facist conservative rednecks. :D

Messed up man. Do they go to California? If so then I'll back Jacques here on that one :D

:headbang:

[FreddieMercury]

i saw waters and i did not enjoy myself. any concert where i can carry on a conversation with the person next to me because it is not loud enough is bad. i mean he did mother for the second song and between every verse people were screaming and i could not even hear

[BrainDamage]

^^I, on the other hand, thought the sound was some of the best I have ever heard at a show. It wasn't so loud that it was distorted (like Motley Crue was when they opened for Aerosmith), but you could hear all the music perfectly. And the 360 degree sound was unbelievable. You have to be there to appreciate that sound system. The sound effects on Dark Side were brought to life, coming from all sides. It was amazing.

EDIT: not to mention seeing the ENTIRE audience turn around to see where the laughter was coming from during Brain Damage :p:

[FreddieMercury]

^ maybe because my show was outside and the place was designed terribly

[BrainDamage]

^^If it was a completely open arena, then maybe. Bad design definately doesn't help. I saw Waters in an ampitheater which I've been to a bunch of times, and every time the sound was generall very good. Again, there are exceptions for those who turn up a little too loud...*cough* Motley Crue *cough*

[andersoncouncil]

They haven't come by me yet, either.
Me either. And I can almost guarentee they won't.

[SGstriker]

Did any of you see the thing on VH1 Classic last night about DSOTM. It was Classic Albums and they were talking about the DSOTM for like an hour. It was awesome.

LEMONS! :p:

And to avoid being labeled a spam-bot, I will tell you a little about it.

They had interviews from everyone. They named all of the people involved. It was funny how they had to do the clocks for Time. They had tapes of recordings of all of these clocks and they had to set them all off at a certain time. Needless to say it took a little bit. I can't remember most of it, I was tired and had just takin some medicine that makes me sleepy.

[FreddieMercury]

^its on almost every other day on vh1 classic

[SGstriker]

^its on almost every other day on vh1 classic

Good so I can watch it again and actually try to comprehend it this time. I was out of it last night.

[andersoncouncil]

^ I thought Alan Parsons (the producer) recorded that in an antique clock store or something?

Edit: I've been learning Cirrus Minor on guitar in the past ten minutes. It's very easy. Anyone else know it?

[SGstriker]

^ I thought Alan Parsons (the producer) recorded that in an antique clock store or something?

I think the show said it was a bunch of tapes of clocks. I dunno, maybe Im wrong. I was half-asleep at the time.

[gtrfrk123]

yeah i remeber them saying that allan parsons was actually doing another project with the clocks, and asked floyd if they wanted to use the recording. i beleive sgStriker is right, when he said that there had to time all of the machines near perfect, very interesting just how much technology has changed.

Yeah, i remember thinking, "Man, it wouldn't be that complicated today...."

[Page&HammettFan]

I read, from the guy himself, that they recorded them all seperately and then pasted them together in the studio. And that came from the PF magazine, where they did and interview with both him and Bob Ezrin ;)

[andersoncouncil]

^Ah, ok.

But is this "him" you're referring to Alan Parsons then?


"There must be some mistake
I didn't mean to let them
take away my soul
Am I too old is it too late
Where has the feeling gone?"
-The Show Must Go On, Roger Waters

"And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song"
Jugband Blues, Syd Barrett

Aren't these similar in subject?

Throwing away shoes could symbolise a mistake.
Bringing Syd in in red instead of his old shoes could be an example of conformity, or taking away of one's soul.
"Where's the feeling gone" and wondering who's writing the song are obviously similar.
I'm not exactly sure how the "Am I too old" part fits in though.

Thoughts?

[The_Yoki]

^ I thought Alan Parsons (the producer) recorded that in an antique clock store or something?

Yeah, it's pretty easy. I love the song, especially the synths, somehow psychedelic...

[TheHeartbreaker]

andersoncouncil...

That is an awesome connection. I see what you mean, and I honestly believe perhaps Roger's lyrics were somewhat of a "respone" to Syd's, but more so of a reflection of Syd's with different words, but the same meaning.

Or perhaps it was unintentional and both Syd Barrett and Roger Waters had similar experiences with the music industry?

[Page&HammettFan]

It was around the same time period, only spread over the course of a few years. So they probably did. And they were in the band together, so I'm sure they experienced a lot of crap together as well.

[Conky420]

andersoncouncil, i wouldn't have thought of that, it makes sense though doesnt it

[TheHeartbreaker]

Or perhaps it was unintentional and both Syd Barrett and Roger Waters had similar experiences with the music industry?

It is quite possible, and in fact, very likely, but those lyrics are so similar I'm sure that Roger sort of nodded at Syd's lyrics to show how the industry had remained the same.

[Scourge]

I just saw Roger Waters perform Darkside of the Moon tonight.

And might I just say,

IT WAS FUCKING FANTASTIC!!!

The tracklist went like this:

-In the flesh.
-Mother
-Set the controls for the heart of the sun
-Sheep
-Shine on you crazy diamond
-Have a cigar
-Wish you were here
-It all makes perfect sense
-The Final Cut
-The Fletcher Memorial Home
-And a new song, I can't remember what it was called but something like "Coming home from Beirut" or something

I think that was all... not sure about the order though lol oh well.

For the 2nd set, they played Darkside of the Moon in it's entirety.

For the encore, they played:
-The happiest days of our lives
-Another brick in the Wall pt. II
-Vera
-Bring the boys back home
-Comfortably numb


(I MIGHT have gotten some of those songs mixed up between the first set and the encore lol... but who cares :p: )

When I got in, I was sitting up in the nosebleeds, not exactly a great seat at all. Then a ticket woman came up and said "Are you on your own?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to sit down there?" *points to front row seats*
"Absolutely!"
"Thought you might say that ;)"

So yeah... I got relocated down to the front row, next to the stage.
During all the little lead breaks and all of that, Roger would come down these catwalks towards the audience. He was like... standing right in front of me, grinning and rocking out, bouncing around with his bass. It was AWESOME. He often stood about 2 metres away from me. Hah... it was such a fun night.


The funniest thing was, after the concert there was this old snobby couple walking out of the stadium from the platinum ticket holder area. The $400 seats. They looked rather glum, and I heard the man say "The seats weren't that great..."
The old fuckers were COMPLAINING!!
And here's me, having paid $99 for practically back row seats, with almost no view... being moved the FRONT row, completely estatic and just jumping around in excitement going OMFG!!! I was so excited from the view, but mostly the absolutely fantastic music... and here's these high paying snobs complaining that their seats sucked, when they paid so much!! :haha :haha :haha :haha :haha

[TheHeartbreaker]

Man, that is so ****ing awesome. Glad you had a good time, and that set-list looks amazing.

[Scourge]

They had these massive explosions going on behind the band. When they all went off, you could feel the heat instantly, and they were like 10 metres away. Wonder what it must've been like for the pianists and drummer, who were 2-3 metres away from them!!

In one of the explosions, one of the canister things didn't blow up... so it... well, blew up. It flew up in the air, glowing red, and bounced around the stage nearly hitting a cameraman lol. That was somewhat entertaining haha.

You know in In the Flesh, where Waters goes "Are there any queers in the theatre tonight? etc"? I found myself grinning that whole time, watching the spotlight as it picked out certain people in the stadium, Waters pointing at them screaming "AND THAT ONE LOOKS JEWISH!! AND THAT ONE'S A COON!!" and all of that... it just all seemed so absurd and silly (which it is). I loved it.

[TheHeartbreaker]

:haha

I know that at Grateful Dead concerts people set off home-made explosions, and my dad said that at one of the concerts he was at some man had a heart attack after one went off right next to him.

Any updates on the tour dates as of yet?

Edit: Scourge this is the first time i've seen you out of the pit. :p:

[Page&HammettFan]

Hey guys when you saw Roger Waters how much were the tickets? I've decided to see as many of the CR guys as I can while I can as many times as I can (funny, aint it?). So what were the ticket prices roughly if you guys don't mind?

Scourge you lucky SOB!! That is funny about the snobby people too. :haha

[BrainDamage]

^^$120 (under face value ;) ). VIP Section 103, 24 rows back.

[zeppelinpage4]

i better start saving for tickets now, seriously that's alot.

[BrainDamage]

^^welcome to todays world. Sadly, ticket prices are rediculously overpriced for a lot of artists. It's gotten to a point where I'm starting to think that $100-120 is a good, managable price for a concert ticket.

When he performed in Berlin back in June and open air I was standing in the very middle of the 360° set-up, maybe 20m away from the stage. The sound was absolutely awesome! During the intro of Sheep everyone was turning his heads into every direction and wondered "Where the f*ck are these sheep coming from?", same with the laughter during Dark Side and the helicopter during HDoOL.... :p:

[DownInAHole.]

A lot of "old-school" Pink Floyd fans make fun of me because i like "Momentary Lapse of Reason" a lot. Anyone else like this album?

[TheHeartbreaker]

Honestly, I've never listened to it, but to be honest I didn't think that The Final Cut was too good. Is Momentary Lapse of Reason similar to it?

[DownInAHole.]

I didn't think so. But, I'm a also an avid listener of "The Wall." I just thought they're later stuff was interesting too.

[zeppelinpage4]

I haven't listened to much of it, if any, but I loved Sorrow that song is amazing, like the intro. :liplick:

Yea, Momentary Lapse is probably their weakest album.

[SGstriker]

lol, other than echoes, Momentary Lapse of Reason is the only album I have of PF. Its not a bad album. Its got Learning To Fly on it :D

[andersoncouncil]

I haven't heard Momentary Lapse yet. But I like all that I've heard from it.
I also like The Final Cut. You just have to look at (listen to) them differently than you would Animals, DSotM, WYWH, and The Wall.

Glad you had fun, Scourge. And all the rest of you lucky people that can spend hundreds of dollars on concerts. :(

[TheHeartbreaker]

Well, really, the main component that I didn't enjoy about The Final Cut was, and this is a common reason for most people who don't enjoy the album, the fact that it was a much more lyricall-dominated album, and the presence of music wasn't as noticed.

Most of us love Pink Floyd because of Roger Water's amazing lyrics, but also the band's music: especially David Gilmour's guitar.

[R0CKER1220]

^^I can't :(. . .I can only spend about $20. . .:( :sad: :cry: http://209.85.48.10/6596/64/emo/icon_hang.gif

[TheHeartbreaker]

I honestly believe that it is quite rediculous how much concert tickets are now.

I mean, I'm not expecting them to be dirt cheap, but I mean, $30-$40 for decent seats would seem a lot more reasonable compared to $100.

And remember, that's only for the ticket - a lot of people pay for food and drink as well (which is usually expensive at concerts).

[andersoncouncil]

^And that doesn't even include the $50 (or more) t-shirt.

I'll admit that it's not as good as the stuff with lots of Gilmour. But you can't say that it's a bad album, in my opinion.

[R0CKER1220]

I hate concert ticket prices as well as the prices of the things inside the concerts! :mad: When I went to see Zappa plays Zappa, I believe the tickets were about $50 a pop and the shirt I got was $30. $30 for a shirt! :wtf:

[TheHeartbreaker]

I know, the ****ing shirts are so expensive at every concert!

I mean, I know that their are expensive shirts, but these are ****ing T-Shirts that you could get at any other store. The only difference is what they have written on them.

[Page&HammettFan]

I know this skater kid who must be a poser or something.. He pays that much for clothes in general, tons per piece. And when he buys $100 shoes, he bitches if they get worn or scuffed or something. It's, to me, like:
a) They're ****ing shoes! They won't last forever!
b) Then don't wear em outside and skating...
c) all of the above
d) Why pay that much for god damn shoes!
e) All of the above again...Especially C!

But yeah, I will never forget the Waters show I saw back in September. Dark Side was incredible, and seeing Sheep live was insane. What did you think of the sound in general and the 360 degree sound?Ahh, yes. That's right. I forgot Southhampton Dock, and forgot Perfect Sense came in 2 parts :o

I agree, Sheep was abso-fucking-lutely awesome. As soon as the first few notes came in I'm like "YESS!!!!!"
As for the sound... Hell, it was fantastic. It was like... the sound didn't come from any direction, it was just there. Like a gigantic cube of sound which I was sitting inside. It was marvelous.Scourge this is the first time i've seen you out of the pit. :p:Eh, I come here from time to time :p: But only really the CR forum. This is originally where I started out, anyway... posting in Ozzy Osbourne threads and starting threads about playing Stairway to Heaven Backwards, thinking it had never been done before :o Some mod was like "Grow up, don't be so gullible, This has been done a thousand times". I was sad :sad: :p:Hey guys when you saw Roger Waters how much were the tickets? I've decided to see as many of the CR guys as I can while I can as many times as I can (funny, aint it?). So what were the ticket prices roughly if you guys don't mind?

Scourge you lucky SOB!! That is funny about the snobby people too. :hahaFor me it was $99AUD. I had um... seat 122, door 4. So in other words, near the top of the stadium, close to the wall to the side of the stage. I couldn't even see the screen behind the stage, it sucked. But I got relocated right to the front row, right next to the stage. There were a couple of lights in my way which made it SLIGHTLY difficult to see SOMEtimes, but hey. It was great!Honestly, I've never listened to it, but to be honest I didn't think that The Final Cut was too good. Is Momentary Lapse of Reason similar to it?Nothing the same. Final Cut is very Watersesque, and MLoR is very Gilmouresque.

I believe Wright wasn't in Final Cut? I can't remember... did Gilmour hire him back in again for Momentary Lapse or The Division Bell?

[The_Yoki]

Yeah, Wright had already left when the works on FC began. On the AMLoR tour he performed as a guest musician and officially joined again during or short after the woks on DB.

[Scourge]

Yeah that's what I thought.

I'm reading a book on the making of DSotM, and it went through a bit of that at the start.

[TheHeartbreaker]

Final Cut is very Watersesque, and MLoR is very Gilmouresque.

That sounds excellent.

[Scourge]

Personally my favourite of the more Gilmouresque albums (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell) is The Division Bell. Songs like Marooned, High Hopes, What do you Want from Me and Keep Talking make it such an awesome album :D

[ktjackfan]

i thnk they are probably the most overrated band ever. theyre on of those bands who made they way by just being strange. only one really good song, "wish you were here".

[SomeEvilDude]

i thnk they are probably the most overrated band ever. theyre on of those bands who made they way by just being strange. only one really good song, "wish you were here".

Well, it's alright for you not to like them, but they don't get praised left right and centre simply because they were 'just being strange'. They pioneered a lot of new techniques that are still used today, as well making some amazing music.
And hell, they weren't even that weird post 1970.

[Scourge]

And who the hell WASN'T weird back when they started?

It was the 60s, maaan.

And it's okay to have your opinion on a band, it's okay not to like them... but for Goodness sake, don't just claim that a band is "the most overrated band ever" and back it up with a comment that doesn't mean anything.
And you say "I think..." which is good, because it shows it's your opinion, that it's what you think. But the rest of it you seem to be protraying as fact - not a good thing. It's your opinion, not fact.

Don't try to use your opinion on a band as a fact. It's not.

[The_Yoki]

Amen, maaan.

[stonegolem13]

can't say that I do. Sorrow is the only decent song on that album.

On the Turning Away is good too....the solo is great

Nothing the same. Final Cut is very Watersesque, and MLoR is very Gilmouresque.

I believe Wright wasn't in Final Cut? I can't remember... did Gilmour hire him back in again for Momentary Lapse or The Division Bell?

Wright was back in TDB but not in AMLOR, although he was on the tour after AMLOR

Yeah, Wright had already left when the works on FC began. On the AMLoR tour he performed as a guest musician and officially joined again during or short after the woks on DB.

Yes, except Wright was kicked out during the Wall by Roger...he played as a guest in the Wall tour and was the only one from the band to make money from it.

i thnk they are probably the most overrated band ever. theyre on of those bands who made they way by just being strange. only one really good song, "wish you were here".

have you listened to every song written by them? Didn't think so :p:

[Page&HammettFan]

I think they are probably the most overrated band ever. They're one of those bands who made they way by just being strange. Only one really good song, "Wish You Were Here".
Edited for a few errors but man you need to fix your spelling and english. I can barely understand what you're saying. And Pink Floyd ftw. They are not overrated. I can list a 100 bans right now that are more overrated that Floyd. They are in no way overrated. If you listen to their music you'll notice that. Every one of those guys is brilliant.

[Brickjp84]

Yeah, I saw waters live last summer and it was great. Sheep was the last song of the first set as well and they basically blew up the stage haha. as for Momentary Lapse of Reason, I havent really gotten into it besides a couple of songs. On the Turning Away is one of my favorite PF songs of all time. Gilmour rips that solo at the end. Listen to the extended version Live on Delicate Sound of Thunder.

I wont even try to defend PF in regards to being the 'most overrated band ever'. I dont even need to try to prove that wrong. Its 2007, when did Floyd come out, and how many musicians have they influenced since then all around the world? Thank you. People just come on here to try to start sh*t to get a rise out of people. PF isnt overrated. Thanks for trying.

[Brickjp84]

Oh yeah, Scourge....you saw Rogers in Rod Laver arena, right? Was the roof open or closed for the concert?

[TheHeartbreaker]

i thnk they are probably the most overrated band ever. theyre on of those bands who made they way by just being strange. only one really good song, "wish you were here".

And how much of them have you listened to?

[BrainDamage]

And remember, that's only for the ticket - a lot of people pay for food and drink as well (which is usually expensive at concerts). that's why I never buy anything at a concert. I only buy t-shirts for special shows...I've got one from Cream, and I have one for Aerosmith's Rockin' the Joint tour cause I saw it three times. I wanted a James Gang shirt, but never got around to it, same with Waters.

I agree, Sheep was abso-fucking-lutely awesome. As soon as the first few notes came in I'm like "YESS!!!!!" Haha, when Sheep started, the crowd was still sitting down, so I was able to enjoy the whole song from my comfy VIP seat while belting out the lyrics along with Roger. The outro was incredible.

[Cptbeefheart]

Soo, a Pink Floyd laser light show plus cover band is coming to my town next week. Tickets are thirty two bucks, should I see 'em or not?

[Page&HammettFan]

Ehm...Yea, you should. If I could have seen The Machine I would have. If they're doing an even halfway decent lightshow you should see em.

[zeppelinpage4]

Yeah dude go for it, the cover band should be good.


As for that guy that called Pink Floyd overrated, I think everyone said it well. You can have an opinion but when you can't back it up properly, not to mention you can't prove Pink Floyd is overrated cause their not, like P&HFan said. It's just a bad post made to stir things up. Alright i'm done.

I'm gonna listen to The Division Bell today since it just came in. :D

[R0CKER1220]

Fuck, I won The Wall on eBay and paid and now it says that the guy I won it from is no longer a member :( . I better fuckin' get it soon <_<.

[zeppelinpage4]

Sorry for that... can you check his feedbck and info?

[Scourge]

Oh yeah, Scourge....you saw Rogers in Rod Laver arena, right? Was the roof open or closed for the concert?Closed.
I really don't think they would've had an open roof, considering the concert lol. It was really dark in the stadium, and it gets dark outiside atm at about... 9:30 or something? Concert started at 8. So yeah

[gtrfrk123]

Personally my favourite of the more Gilmouresque albums (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell) is The Division Bell. Songs like Marooned, High Hopes, What do you Want from Me and Keep Talking make it such an awesome album :D
wearing the inside out is one of the most mellow songs in the world

[feenux258]

wearing the inside out is one of the most mellow songs in the world

wow dude no joke that relaxed me real quick

thats what i love about pink floyd u got those loud fast paced songs and then u got the soft relaxing stuff

i also really like summer '68 and if very relaxing

[R0CKER1220]

Sorry for that... can you check his feedbck and info?
It's 100% positive with 124 feedback. I may get it but I'm just nervous because I'm not sure. . .If I don't get it before Monday I'll e-mail 'im.

[zeppelinpage4]

Yeah and i'm sure if you don't you can get your money back.
But if that's his feedback you should be alright.

[stonegolem13]

^Yep, should be allright

I'm gonna listen to The Division Bell today since it just came in. :D

Cool, an excellent album, enjoy

Sounds like fun, I suggest going

[BrainDamage]

9:30 or something? Concert started at 8. So yeah 8 PM sharp? :p: It said 8 PM sharp on the ticket but Waters was 15 minutes late here :( I loved the was they did the intermission. They had a small speck on the screen behind the stage which constantly grew to become a giant moon. As the moon slowly reached it's final size, the heartbeat faded in, then got louder and louder as the sound effects to Speak to Me started. I get the chills when I think of that transition from Speak to Me into Breathe. God it was awesome.

that sounds awesome! gilmour did sort of the same thing, after intermission the stage was still black and the beggining chords to Shine On appeared....its was amazing to the max!!

[TheHeartbreaker]

Man, that does sound really awesome.

How does/do the guitarist(s) playing with Waters compare to Gilmour?

[BrainDamage]

^^Kilminster did a great job. I was really satisfied after not hearing anything by him before the show. Much better then Doyle Bramhall from the In the Flesh DVD. And Snowy is Snowy. They both do the songs justice.

[Scourge]

And yeah, the intermission was awesome.

What did you think of the intro? Before the whole thing started? With the radio behind the stage and everything. I thought it was pretty cool, but DAMN did I get sick of it after the 3rd song. I was thinking "God DAMNIT I came here to listen to Roger Waters, not Elvis and Vera Lynn!" :p:

[BrainDamage]

^^I thought that was very cool. I was getting restless after a while though, after about 10 minutes of stuff happening on the screen I kept expecting the lights to dim when the next animation took place. The best feeling in the world is as soon as the lights go down.

[Scourge]

Yeah.

At first, for like 20-30 minutes before the show started it was just people piling in, nothing happening... 15 minutes to go, music came on... at about 8:05 action started taking place in the video (i.e. changing station, smoking, drinking etc).... 8:15 it's still going and I'm getting really restless...

But yeah. It was such an AWESOME feeling when the lights went down. And the stadium just ERUPTED. Didn't think it could get much louder, but when the spotlight shone down on Waters, it tripled.

[The_Yoki]

Did anyone else miss the first solo of SOYCD? I mean, it just belongs to it and I absolutely love it and they just skipped it :(

Oh, and by the way, here's the correct set list ;). It says Athens at the top, but it was everywhere the same:


http://www.pinkfloydz.com/roger2006/images/18junegreece/Roger's-setlist-(Athens).gif

[zeppelinpage4]

Just listened to the Division Bell all the way through, and i'm speechless at the moment.

[BrainDamage]

Did anyone else miss the first solo of SOYCD? I mean, it just belongs to it and I absolutely love it and they just skipped it :( I can't remember the way Waters plays it, but I love the way Floyd does it on PULSE. Pts. 1-5 with the first and second solos, as well as the added parts from 6-9 at the end. Very cool.

[Page&HammettFan]

Division Bell is so amazing. I love it. You like the "When you ask me to please go $#!@ myself" line? :p:

[zeppelinpage4]

Lol yeah. :p: ^^

I was lying in my bed listening quietly and suddenly I raised my head thinking "did David say what I thought he said?"

[feenux258]

Lol yeah. :p: ^^

I was lying in my bed listening quietly and suddenly I raised my head thinking "did David say what I thought he said?"

i just did the same thing and had to replay that part

[Page&HammettFan]

Bet your ass was hitting the rewind button, over and over and over again :haha

I loved that part :p: I now anticipate it and give it a good laugh :p:

[feenux258]

yea im listening agian haha

good album never really listened to it all the way therough before

[zeppelinpage4]

It was really cool though the sun was setting as I was listening to it in the dark and I could see this one huge star just one in the sky the whole time, it was amazing really went with the music. By the end it became night.

http://www.pinkfloydz.com/roger2006/images/18junegreece/Roger's-setlist-(Athens).gifAaaahhh, that's it. I knew I'd completely stuffed up the list lol. I was trying to remember every song and the order during the concert so I could tell others :p:

And yeah... I missed the solo. I thought it was still very well done and enjoyable though, the song was still fantastic :D
Would've liked the funky section as well, if you know what I mean... but that part is always omitted, it seems.

I found myself kinda disappointed with the solo for Comfortably Numb. I mean it was still great, but it was seriously lacking in terms of the Gilmour touch. I feel that the solo in the P.U.L.S.E. concert was just perfect, absolutely flawless. So this one paled in comparison.

It was still good, but y'know :p:

[BrainDamage]

^^I thought it was cool how Dave Kilminster started off with the studio solo then Snowy interrupted him, and when Snowy was done, Kilminster picked up right where he left off, then Snowy interrupted again, Dave K picked up, etc.

And I was right about the setlist ;)

By the way, Scourge, in looking for a complete version of the show I was at (I can only find the first set as a screen shot video, but I can get an audience recording for the second set/encores), I came across a recording for 2007-01-25. This the one you were at?

[Page&HammettFan]

That sounds cool :) Wish I could see that.

I don't consider it to be a funny song.....it has a deep meaning to it, if everyone would just learn to leave things in the past we'd all be better off

[The_Yoki]

Yeah, you know, nobody's home right now, neither my parents, nor the doctor below us nor the stupid b*tch above us and I can turn up my 5.1 sound system to veeeeeery high, you know? So I started the day with Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond was again sooo beautiful.... the part were the drums and second guitar enters is simply awesome.... gave me a very gooselike skin :p: You just gotta love that song. Afterwards my trouses were shivering to the heavy synth bass of Welcome To The Machine and Have a Cigar was just fantastic. Currently I'm enjoying Wish You Were Here itself. :)

And you? :p:

It's one of my favourite parts of the song, but it's ommitted in EVERY other version, including best of's and stuff.

Famous Quotes
Pink Floyd

We're not ignored by the "Guinness Book of Records", but we've been largely ignored by the media during our lifetime. If you read any article, no mention is ever made of Pink Floyd. We're never included in the same sentences as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.
-- Roger Waters, Pink Floyd

Johnny made us all watch Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii and said: "Now this is how we should do videos". I just remember seeing Dave Gilmour sitting on his a--- playing guitar and Roger Waters, with long, greasy hair, sandals and dusty flares, stagger over and pick up this big beater and whack this gong. Ridiculous.
-- Colin Greenwood, Radiohead

For us the most important thing is to be visual and for the cats watching us to have fun. This is all we want. We get very upset if people get bored when we're only half way through smashing the second set. Then all of a sudden they hear Arnold Layne and they flip all over again.
-- Roger Waters, in: Rave UK Magazine (June 1967)

I like our music to feel three-dimensional. It's about trying to invoke emotions in people, I suppose. You feel larger than life in some sort of way. Let's face it none of us in Pink Floyd are technically brilliant musicians, with great chops who can change rhythms, fifteen or sixteen bars here, there and everywhere. And we're not terribly good at complicated chord structures. A lot of it is just very simple stuff dressed up. We stopped trying to make overtly 'spacey' music and trip people out in that way in the 60's. But that image hangs on and we can't seem to get shot of it.
-- Dave Gilmour, in: Musician (Dec. 1982)

What the hell? You can't have an encore scheduled. . .Psh. . .

[TheHeartbreaker]

:haha

What if no one wants an encore, and they come back anyways, and when they come back everyone boos? (That wouldn't happen, but it'd be funny.)

[Page&HammettFan]

That is funny how they have em scheduled. But I suppose that they have to know what they're gonna play, otherwise the timing might be off.

[TheHeartbreaker]

It just seems as though it would get boring playing the same songs in the same order night after night.

[gtrfrk123]

What the hell? You can't have an encore scheduled. . .Psh. . .
well, they can have it scheduled, but at least don't put it on the setlist physicly

[Page&HammettFan]

Yea that's kinda weird. It kinda takes away from the fans experience too.

[Scourge]

Yeah, it does seem kind of strange having the encore scheduled. When I was watching, I knew there would be one (I was told by others who saw the show). I knew it was all set up, I knew they'd come back and Waters would be all like "Oh, oh man, thank you guys, thank you guys so much, this means so much to us..." and get playing another couple of songs. Hey, it's what big-time performers do.

And they needed these songs to be scheduled and planned so that the lights, animations and explosions could be synchonised with the music. If they didn't, it would have been seriously lacking in excitement and would have really paled in comparison with the rest of the concert.
Wouldn't be much of an encore if it didn't go with a bang.

im sure everyband plans encores and if people dont cheer they dont come back

[Page&HammettFan]

Well they probably just have an idea of the encores that they'll do. I doubt that they are literally scheduled. But with Pink Floyd music, there really does need to be a plan.

[feenux258]

and its pretty much guarenteed theres going to be an encore pink floyd is the best

[Page&HammettFan]

If you don't do an encore, in this day and age I think you'd be ridiculed as a band. I mean, people were doing em back in the 70's and I'm sure before that.

[Michelangelo193]

Alright, this is a cliche question, but I haven't done this yet and I hear I'm really missing out so here it is...when do I begin Dark Side to synchronize it with the Wizard of Oz. Is it when the lion roars?

[Scourge]

Um... I can't remember, I haven't done it for ages lol.

But on that subject... you know the coolest part of the Darkside of Oz?

During the Money solo. And before that. That is one fucking badass synchonisation, even if it wasn't deliberate.

I mean, god damn.

[SGstriker]

Alright, this is a cliche question, but I haven't done this yet and I hear I'm really missing out so here it is...when do I begin Dark Side to synchronize it with the Wizard of Oz. Is it when the lion roars?

it starts a good bit earlier than that, but I agree it's a shame they take it out

Actually during the 1977 tour they played CWTAE once and there were basically no lighting cues etc...it wasn't scheduled at all

Alright, this is a cliche question, but I haven't done this yet and I hear I'm really missing out so here it is...when do I begin Dark Side to synchronize it with the Wizard of Oz. Is it when the lion roars?

Third roar of the MGM lion....

[Page&HammettFan]

I haven't heard of this please share :haha This sounds like it might be worth doing.

[psychodelia]

You haven't heard of the Dark Side of the Moon / Wizard of Oz thing?

I won't spoil it for you, just some interesting coincidences. Try it out, and keep lyrics in mind as you watch what's happening.


Also, people sync up different parts of Meddle with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

One of these Days
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aunoKAz6Mc&mode=related&search=

And various parts of Echoes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfgoVZswC4k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlR-9Cn14fs&mode=related&search=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlZp0KXSMF0

I haven't seen the Echoes stuff, One of these Days was alright, Dark Side of the Moon with Oz is better imo.

[Page&HammettFan]

No spoil it for me I've gotta hear this shit and we don't have the Wizard of Oz on tape. Plus, I don't like the movie so I don't wanna waste the $5 bucks or whatever it is on a movie I dislike :haha Call me cheap :rolleyes:

[psychodelia]

Ehh, I don't quite remember everything. These should give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlZp0KXSMF0


Apparently there are more Pink Floyd synced things than I thought, people have a lot of time on their hands.

[Page&HammettFan]

:haha

I can't believe that people sit down and do that. I wonder where the first idea came from. It's funny though. But I'd rather spend time playing guitar or something than seeing if I could sync differentparts of PFs' music with a movie ;)

[stonegolem13]

^The same thing crosses my mind once in a while....who the hell starts these things? who would casually play every album to the wizard of Oz looking for synchronisations? There are some strange people in the world :p: looks at BrainDamage

I think this site (www.darksideofoz.net) has some videos in it...
...it does (just checked) The other sites just say it's a deliberate attempt at being weird, this one seems to think that it's a tribute to Judy Garland....very interesting

[TheHeartbreaker]

You haven't heard of the Dark Side of the Moon / Wizard of Oz thing?

I won't spoil it for you, just some interesting coincidences.

That's basically all it is. Some people are convinced that it's amazing, though.

[zeppelinpage4]

I kid in math was telling me to try it.

Heard that video posted on the last page, Echoes is just amazing the sounds and instruments and that singing is just beautiful...

[R0CKER1220]

I got The Wall on CD today :D .

[TheHeartbreaker]

So it did come. :)

[BrainDamage]

Christ, really?

I wanna hear that... you don't happen to know where I could get my hands on that, do you? you asked the right person :) I'll PM you.

Well they probably just have an idea of the encores that they'll do. I doubt that they are literally scheduled. But with Pink Floyd music, there really does need to be a plan. All the bands I have seen (and have seen the actual setlist sheets for) have planned encores. I usually try and grab a setlist sheet at shows (I have an Aerosmith one, Frampton, Allman Bros, and James Gang...some lady was being a bitch at the Waters show, the setlist was on the stage but she wouldn't let me grab it :( ) and they have the encores on there.

^The same thing crosses my mind once in a while....who the hell starts these things? who would casually play every album to the wizard of Oz looking for synchronisations? There are some strange people in the world :p: looks at BrainDamage :wavey:

[TheHeartbreaker]

BrainDamage, did you finish the Animals Tour?

[BrainDamage]

^^I've got everything that's available from January through May. I need all of June (except one show) and one show from July and I'm done.

Shows I haven't been able to find (do they exist?) are:
1977-01-26
1977-03-01
1977-03-28
1977-03-29
1977-05-04
1977-05-12

[Page&HammettFan]

I can't believe they actually plan the encores. That kind of ruins the surprise of one and what they play for you ya know? Knowing that it was all, note for note, second for second, planned out.

Knowing that it was all, note for note, second for second, planned out. doesn't bother me. Hell, if I can get a hold of a setlist before the show even starts then I'll definately take a look to see what's in store for the night. I was able to find the setlist at three of the Aerosmith shows I saw in the past two years before they even went onstage.

[Lukeisonfire]

I know there a band I would love but I just dont know them and dont have the time. Yet can yall reccomed me some pink floyd songs for a beginner

[R0CKER1220]

So it did come. :)
Yep :) . I was just worried because it's shipping from the same state and took about a week :confused: .

[Page&HammettFan]

Have A Cigar
Time
Money
Us and Them
Dogs
All of Animals, not just Dogs
Lost for Words
Poles Apart
High Hopes
Comfortably Numb
Hey You
Money
Welcome to the Machine
Wish You Were Here (song and album)

Just go with either The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here, or The Division Bell for starters :p: Those are my favourites out of all that I've heard.

What do you do, treat it like a game of Hide and Seek? :haha

[zeppelinpage4]

What he said ^^

I'd also like to add Dark Side Of The Moon, I don't own it (yet) but i've heard lots of good songs from it so.... like Time.

+1 especially on The Division Bell. :)

[krymson]

Just bought Animals yesterday. You can really hear the transition of style from wish you were here to the wall on here. Roger sings really well on this too

[BrainDamage]

What do you do, treat it like a game of Hide and Seek? :haha haha, well...99% of the time the band has a sheet out on the stage floor to use as reference, and most of the time there is also a copy at the soundboard. I happened to have seats behind the soundboard for one of the Aerosmith shows I saw so I just took a look at the setlist from my seat. Also, when I was on the floor for another Aerosmith show I took a walk around and saw the setlist taped to one of the camera's used to tape the show. And then for another Aerosmith show I saw it from my seat posted up on the wall behind the stage.

Then as soon as shows end I make a b-line for either the soundboard or the stage, whichever is closest. Again, most of the time the soundboard has it just sitting there, so I either ask one of the guys or just take it (like I did at the James Gang). If not, I just ask one of the roadies for one off the stage.

[zeppelinpage4]

I don't know why but imagining BD sneeking around stages trying to get setlists from people makes me giggle. :p:

[SGstriker]

You have to get DSOTM. It owns...

http://www.digg.com/music/Possible_Pink_Floyd_Reunion

Have you guys heard about this yet? Seems just like the kind of one-shot charity event that they'd do.

[DYEguitarist]

That would be cool if that happen, but it would be impossible for me to see them :(

[BrainDamage]

I don't care where it is or what the cause is, I just want to see the band play together for one. full. show. I'm sure if the time and cause was right, they would do it. I just don't want to see another 4 song set, I want to see one last full show.

[zeppelinpage4]

Yeah, I hope it happens I know my parents wouldn't let me spend hundreds on tickets though.

[Page&HammettFan]

Pfft, my parents wouldn't mind so long as it wasn't a shit band. And yea picturing BD running around trying to get the setlists makes me chuckle :p:

[TheHeartbreaker]

Yep :) . I was just worried because it's shipping from the same state and took about a week :confused: .

Hm... :confused:

[andersoncouncil]

I don't care if a reunion happens or not. I won't be able to see it anyway.

[private]

Ok we're studying poetry in my english class and we listened to Time today. And I was pumped because Pink Floyd's my favorite band. Now my teacher said that Roger Waters is using illusion to some story about a guy that runs around all day and dies when the sun goes down in the line "well you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" does anyone know if this is true because from I've never heard anything about that.

[zeppelinpage4]

Well I don't know for sure or in writing but I interpret it in a similar manner.

Like there is a guy who lost track of time and years went by now he's running out and trying to catch up with the sun which is time always moving forward impossible to catch up to cause it never stops or slows down and the time running out represents his life.

The dull days are those times you took for granted where time passed you by.
And out of nowhere ten years went by, now your in a race where time will win.

I see it as how time often flies by and you easily miss out on things and how you can't go back. I find real meaning in the song and can relate/ understand. One of my favorite songs.

So I guess the teacher was right about the guy running with the sun, however that's more of a metaphor or symbol for the real meaning.

[BrainDamage]

I see it as how time often flies by yeah, that's pretty much how I see it :p:

[zeppelinpage4]

Great minds think alike, I guess. :p:

[Page&HammettFan]

Well neither of you are great, so I guess not :p: Just kidding. But that's pretty much my interpetation. Probably Rogers very best lyrics. My absolute favorite (next to the "when you ask me to please go **** myself" line in Lost For Words).

[zeppelinpage4]

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat???!!!! Can't forget that now can we?:p:

I really like the Wish You Were Here lyrics as well.

Damn I can't type my pinky is cramping/ getting stuck I think I hurt it at karate today.

[BrainDamage]

When I think Pink Floyd lyrics I immediately think Dogs and Sheep.

[psychodelia]

Methinks of Fearless.

[BrainDamage]

^^mmm yes, how could I forget that? One of my absolute favorites.

[Page&HammettFan]

I think of that Lost For Words lyric. Do you mind if I include that on the review I'm working on doing of the album BD? I haven't been able to finish it today (damn brother and his stupid ass internet game).

The pudding/meat lyric thing isn't what I'd call a lyric, more of a speach part.

[zeppelinpage4]

I still enjoy it. :p:

What about when he talks about breaking balls in Mother. :)

[SGstriker]

"Mother do you think they'll try and break my balls". I remember laughing at that when I heard it on the radio when I was like 8.

[zeppelinpage4]

Yeah that's the quote. :haha ^^

[Page&HammettFan]

That's awesome. I heard that on the radio too. That's a funny quote though I never listened to it.

[FloydPink92]

"Mother do you think they'll try and break my balls". I remember laughing at that when I heard it on the radio when I was like 8.
haha, everytime i listen to that i'm wondering, why couldn't they have made that line different?!?!

[highvoltage66]

haha, everytime i listen to that i'm wondering, why couldn't they have made that line different?!?!

cuz they are pink floyd and they can do what they want

[feenux258]

haha, everytime i listen to that i'm wondering, why couldn't they have made that line different?!?!

\cause its a ****ing awesome line

[FloydPink92]

nobody asked you, you little *****! :p:

[highvoltage66]

nobody asked you, you little *****! :p:

um **** u?

[FloydPink92]

um **** u?
no i'll pass.

[Page&HammettFan]

Alright I think that's enough of that conversation :) On a different note, I'm thinkingof learning Hey You. How difficult is the song? I'd also like to do it by ear, so how complex are all of the parts?

[FloydPink92]

Alright I think that's enough of that conversation :)
:p:

anyways...i would learn Hey You but appearently you are supposed to use a capo, but i dont have one :( My friend was learning it also but he says its too bloody hard....o well, good luck with it tho :D

[Page&HammettFan]

Thanks. I'll look into a capo on it. I don't think so though, I think that there are open notes that you need to hit. And depending on how far you need to go to play it with a capo, you could just tune up. Gotta be careful with that though.

[stonegolem13]

^ I looked at the tab on this site, played it slowly...It sounds right but...really complicated, you have to move your fingers, and pick quite fast

Ugh...poetry
To be honest I think your teacher is expressing their own views on the song (and it's stupid because since it was written by all four members Roger didn't write all the lyrics :p: ) Most poetry (from my point of view anyway) has nothing to do with what your teachers tell you...to me it's just about how our time is short upon the earth an how we squander it

http://www.digg.com/music/Possible_Pink_Floyd_Reunion

2007 is the Chinese year of the Pig, the Floyd will return :p: :cool:

1977-05-04
1977-05-12

I don't think the 77-01-26 show was recorded by anyone....kinda sad
Not sure about the others

[TheHeartbreaker]

I don't care if a reunion happens or not. I won't be able to see it anyway.

Why not?

[Page&HammettFan]

I'd love to see a taped reunion with all of the guys, including Roger. That'd be so sweet. Unfortunately none of those guys have the desire to do it, and Roger is the only one who even cares about touring right now.

[TheHeartbreaker]

Isn't David touring?

[Page&HammettFan]

I'm not sure, though he might be for his new "On An Island" album. I don't think so though.

[TheHeartbreaker]

Okay. I thought he was doing a tour to promote it back when it came out last year.

[zeppelinpage4]

I remember him doing a tour last year for the new album, he came by here and I missed it.
:(

[R0CKER1220]

"Mother do you think they'll try and break my balls". I remember laughing at that when I heard it on the radio when I was like 8.
:haha When I first listened to The Wall a few weeks ago I thought "What the hell?" It just seems to not fit in there as well. . .

[BrainDamage]

Alright I think that's enough of that conversation :) On a different note, I'm thinkingof learning Hey You. How difficult is the song? I'd also like to do it by ear, so how complex are all of the parts? it's easy. A lot of tabs (including the my book) say to use a capo, but it can definately be played without one.


I don't think the 77-01-26 show was recorded by anyone....kinda sad
Not sure about the others I've come in contact with two people who claim to have it. I traded with one of them only to discover that his was really the 27th. I sent a few emails a while back to the second guy, who did respond, but it hasn't really gotten anywhere.

[zeppelinpage4]

:haha When I first listened to The Wall a few weeks ago I thought "What the hell?" It just seems to not fit in there as well. . .
I love how he says it so casually.. and well breaking balls and mothers in the same song are a bit interesting. :p:

[angus is god]

Is On an Island a good album? I heard it extremely slow and too laid back.

[BrainDamage]

^^I like it. It is very laid back, but it's still a good album.

[zeppelinpage4]

I haven't heard the whole thing yet, my dad wants to get it but he's too damn cheap to buy it. so i'll end up getting it sometime or another. I really liked "On An Island" and yes it's quiet laid back and slow, very nice though and calming.

Edit: Who were David Gilmours influneces? Any ideas?

[gtrfrk123]

i remember watching an extra of some sort, and he said as his career progresses hendrix is a big influence of his. i can defanately tell, especially on the pulse dvd, he's sounding a bit like jimi in his solo tone.

[zeppelinpage4]

Yup I noticed a bit of Hendrix in PULSE...

[FloydPink92]

Isn't David touring?
sorry, but no. he toured last year through the dates of March 10th and August 26.

tho i got to see him on April 12th + 13th in Chicago :D

[andersoncouncil]

Why not?
Matter of money. Ticket prices would be sky high. And I'd have to travel cause they probably wouldn't come to SLC, so that's even more money.

Gilmour was influenced in his early days by stuff like Rolling Stones and blues.

I remember reading in an interview and he said he liked Eddie Van Halen, (he named a few other similar guitarists I can't recall) but could never play like that.

And I think I remember reading in an interview that he liked Dire Straits. not sure on that one though.

EDIT:
Found something.
"I've always had a very wide taste - I still have that width in the things I like, and I can wind up listening to almost anything. Randy Newman, Dire Straits, Joni Mitchell. I can listen to Van Halen sometimes, Jeff Beck a lot, hundreds; very diverse. I either like it or I don't. If I do I listen to it." -David Gilmour

[Page&HammettFan]

Aren't all of the songs that Dave does fairly laid back though? I guess this might be a lot more.

His influences also included the Beatles, and a lot of old folk guys.

[zeppelinpage4]

Thanks I figure what better way to learn a guitarists style than doing what he did in the beginning.
My dad's a Dire Straits fan, I could listen to them a bit more.

[Page&HammettFan]

Mark Knopfler is freaking awesome. I love that Sultands of Swing solo. I need to listen to the rest of the album that my dad has though.

[Brickjp84]

I agree about how great Knopfler is. Make sure to listen to the Alchemy 2-disc live album. Freaking amazing. I find similarities between how Gilmour and Knopfler play. Both of them have a very clean, fluid sound to their style. No coincidence they are my two favorite guitarists of all time.

[TheHeartbreaker]

Randy Newman

:haha

I'm sorry, but ever since the Y2K Family Guy... :haha

[andersoncouncil]

^:confused:
I don't watch Family Guy.

I've only got three Dire Straits songs and I can hear the resemblance.

:haha

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot...

Any suggestions to which of the older albums (Dark Side and before) to buy. Looking for something really phychedelic.

[BrainDamage]

^^if you're looking for psychadelic, then go for Piper and Saucerful.

[krymson]

Ok cool. Im also interested in The Final Cut but havnt really heard any opinions on it. Is it suppose to be a sequel of sorts to the wall. Is it any good.

[BrainDamage]

^^it's good lyrically. It's been a long time since I've listened to that album so I don't remember much of it.

[Page&HammettFan]

In other words it's not too great because he chooses to listen to other Floyd albums first :p:

[TheHeartbreaker]

^:confused:
I don't watch Family Guy.

Well, it's not really that funny anymore.

Simply, in that episode, they made fun of Gary Newman, and so now whenever I hear him or hear him mentioned I think of that episode.

It's really more of a Waters solo album, with his backing band conveniently being Pink Floyd. I don't think it's all that great, but there are one or two songs worth listening to.
