PINK FLOYD

wtf is going on in this thread, The Wall rules

I mean it's cool to have your own edit of the album, removing songs that rule a little less like "Young Lust" and Part 2, but let's not go overboard

"So, Roger, who's gonna show this stranger around?"

On topic: Young Lust is good. I am tired of people completely dismissing music on the basis of male chauvinism when the lyrics are about primal urges; and there's no reason to believe the singer lacks a super-ego that would keep his animalistic thoughts/desires in check. Also, pertaining to The Wall, the narrator character isn't a choir boy and shouldn't be held to that standard. Perhaps some of this doesn't translate to random radio-goers unfamiliar with The Wall as a concept album, but even the dark undertones of Young Lust suggest that the singer is succumbing to his ego and that he is speaking from a primal state of mind.

Never "got" the wall - has decent tracks (I guess mostly just "Comf Numb") but wouldn't wanna hear it all in one go - unlike Dark Side, WYWH, Meddle, Obscured by Clouds. Also lyrics seem plain silly and it's so pretentious.

Having seen Waters' reboot of the stage show a few years ago, but not the original Floyd show, I think the album makes most sense as a soundtrack to the stage show. A few big production numbers linked by shorter narrative sections to move the action along.

nah, young lust sucks because it's a self-consciously "ballz-out" blues rocker that's musically generic and uncompelling. the sound of a band out of its element. the lyrics don't offend me, but they're definitely cringeworthy.

the wall has some great stuff on it though. one of my turns and nobody home are super underappreciated.

Waters is a member of Maidstone, the golf club in the Hamptons that is basically impossible to get in to....guess that titled wife of his helped!

Young Lust vs Blue Light

I always read Young Lust a parody of the ball-out blues rocker.

^^^ that's how I interpreted it, too, a piss-take on something Zeppy.

yeah young lust as blooze parody makes sense. i'd just much rather listen to zepppelin that floyd's pisstake

Then again, Floyd do some heavy bloozy rock on More and it...well, it RULES.

(It should be noted, however, that in the interim period, Nick Mason gradually shed absolutely every single aspect of his playing that made him unique, interesting and, at times, one of the near-greats.)

it's funny there's some moment in some dark side of the moon rockumentary where waters kinda mocks his bandmates approach to songwriting, laughing that they'd just play Em to A over and over again ... and it's like, roger, do you even understand what makes pink floyd rule?

But Roger's a bassist. You know how hard it is to play an Em on one of those things?

Yeah, 'Young Lust' is meant to be a parody, I'm sure.

Also, is it just me, or do some of Waters' vocals on The Wall sound a bit Ian Anderson?

If everyone could stop what they are doing for a moment...I think Euler, Once-ler and others have brought something pretty sobering to light and that's the fact we've gotten away from what this thread is about....this thread is about how Pink Floyd Rules.

I know I'm gonna take a long hard look in the mirror.

thanks for the wake up call, ums. i needed it.

here's some news from the latest uncut magazine
The Floyd story started with Syd Barrett, their first songwriter, their first leader, the man who gave them their name. At a certain point in the interview I look Mason in the eye and as him if 'Why Pink Floyd...? is going to be the point in history when "Scream Thy Last Scream", "Vegetable Man" and other unreleased 1967 tracks are finally, after many dashed hopes and false alarms, going to receive an official release.

Mason [at once]: "Yes. I would love that. If we did an 'Immersion' version of the early stuff, we could have all of those, and then we've got some demos that were made really early on, which I think are just charming. these come from 1965 and include 'Lucy Leave', "I'm A King Bee", "Walk With Me Sydney", and "Double O-Bo". They're very R'n'B. Of course we were yet another English band who wanted to be an American style R'n'B band. We recorded the demo at Decca. I think it must have been, in Broadhurst Gardens. A friend of Rick's was working there as an engineer, and managed to sneak us in on a Saturday night when the studio wasn't operating."

David Cavanagh: "Have you always know of this tape's existence?"

Mason: "Yes, I've always had a copy of it."

Nick came in with a huge box full of quarter tapes which had been sitting in storage. When we trawled through them, there were a lot of early recordings, pre-Piper, when they were playing "Louie, Louie" and being an R'n'B band. Then there were quite a few Barrett-era Floyd tracks that never got released, which were mixed recently as part of [the work done on] An Introduction To Syd Barrett, when we didn't know that they weren't going to get used. There is potentially the material to make an album of unreleased Barrett-era stuff.

David Cavanagh: "In other words [I ask Mason], there'll be an 'Immersion' edition of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn? Or else an 'Immersion' that twins Piper with A Saucerful Of Secrets?" Mason: "More likely to be the latter, but yes, definitely. Personally I think the two albums go together very well, if you position the tracks suitably, because 'Jugband Blues' on Saucer is Syd's song and it's his farewell moment in a way"

That 1967-68 'Immersion' set will probably come out next summer Mason estimates. It will have been a long, long wait.

aaaaaaaaaghhhh want

would definitely rule!

If that happens, I really hope it includes the mono mixes.

that'd rule.

TS: "Young Lust" vs. "Crew Slut" (which I know is a parody blues rocker because Zappa said so in the Joe's Garage liner notes, which he did because Zappa.)

have heard shitty bootlegs of the early R&B stuff and am not particularly interested but this:

*slobber* waaaaht how can this be possible

I had never heard of this before, shocked at how good it is (almost, dare I say it, On the Corner-ish)

Yes, this was released as a download when the album came out. Even the famous "Motorbike" bit worked fine.

When they finally pressed it up as a double ( for RSD of course) I did think they would add it as one of the sides, but no.

whoa that would make a good poster you could call it back catalogue

Too much Wall, not enough Wish You Were Here.

when did floyd use the treble clef in their iconography?

Corporal Clef

lol mansplaining his own obvious jokes is so Zappa

Say what you want about The Division Bell but it's a really iconic cover image. Not sure I need it tattooed on my back, though.

Def one of the bands that knew how to create great iconography

Heard the new Gilmour tour on the Brain Damage podcast. It sounds.... stately. I really only have budget for one Old Guy tour and I think Fogerty in Vegas is going to win out.

i wish the new gilmour album ruled more

I feel a bit regretful having not made the effort to see him at the Royal Albert Hall, although I had a look at the set list and it's not much different to the On An Island tour and that was kinda cool with Robert Wyatt, Crosby & Nash & Bowie doing Arnold Layne.

Robert Wyatt, Crosby & Nash & Bowie doing Arnold Layne.

!!!! holy canoli

btw

need some #RealTalk from some real #FloydHeads.....is Alan Parsons Project worth checking out?

(please keep it 100)

well, Eye in the Sky is incredible

real talk, always kinda like "sirius" which just kinda sounds like an 80s dark side pastiche
