PINK FLOYD

Operative word is “glum.” xp

In the New Year I resolve to type xp less often

I tend to find Pink Floyd’s restraint yields no small amount of empty spaces, which is perhaps truer to the ‘cosmic’ label that so many of their peers were going for.

There’s also far more going on structurally than in Dire Straits’s music, although the comparison is hilarious precisely because there’s a grain of truth to it.

I can imagine Waters writing The Man's Too Strong.

IDK, what Dire Straits songs put that comparison in mind? To me they seem very opposite, dry vs wet, taut vs expansive, blunt vs smooth etc.

There is definitely something about the moodiness of Floyd that I am starting to remember "this is why I haven't listened to them for a while." I played Dogs on repeat every time I listened to music for like a week straight and it really started to impact my mental well-being.

I do think there is a kind of similarity btw Gilmore and Knopfler in a sort of tonal "cleanliness," something very Guitar Center in the sound

like no doubt at this moment some happy bachelor is demo-ing his new Wharfedale's w an album by one of these two artists

guitar center is generally 8 dudes playing different scrawling horrific metal tone distortion all over walls melding into one giant tension headache cacophony more than david gilmour or dire straits tastefulness

thats' true, this guy is deep in the weeds at Steve Hoffman, he doesn't even risk playing these records except on very special occasions

ums technically correct, but Hadrian VIII was correct in spirit.

both groups both touchstones of tone attorneys

yes it's like the Platonic ideal of what a Guitar Center could be like if all their customers subscribed to Mojo

honestly a lot of those guys probably turn up their nose at guitar center's off-the-rack mass produced stuff, you need that boutique, hand-wired shit and 70s les pauls and strats

Gilmour plays slowly though, something I have never heard anyone in a guitar center attempt to do

The archetypal guitar center sound is distortion not cranked loud enough so that you can hear the awful acoustic slapping sound of the electric guitar strings with a very thin layer of noise on top.

are we harshing the Floyd rules thread, I do like Pink Floyd ok

Gilmour's tone def rules

if one was so inclined, one might say that Pink Floyd rules

Gilmour's tone is like a fallen angel sobbing and singing at the same time.

this is kind of like going into guitar center and then looking over to see who is nailing that sick Gilmour tone and holy shit it's Gilmour

wait that's definitely not gilmour

lol yeah you're right! an imposter!

"Gilmour dude...the only way I can describe Gilmour is - you know the song Dogs?"

"Fuck yeah"

"...yeah I'd imagine"

"Listen to the solo on Dogs and times it by 10 or 20 - and turn up the volume by like 50, and that's KIND of what I'm talking about"

just flowin' that shit...doing loop de loops

Mick Ralphs takes off his guitar - now keep in mind this is Mick Ralphs a legend in his own right dude - he fucking takes off his guitar and lays it down in front of David Gilmour bro...and fucking bows, shakes his hand

the lasers were synonymous with the fucking helicopter sounds, were machine gunning off the mirror on his guitar

one-noting you to the ground

Derek, fuck, I gotta go to practice

@UMS, if The Tone Attorneys isn’t a band, it should be

E(s)q

ums, are you secretly @rigsofdad?

OK!

do planetariums still do Laser Floyd etc.? Smoking a poorly rolled joint outside the Hayden Planetarium was a high school rite for me

Almost amusing myself thinking about an Uncle Floyd Laser Show, if not a Count Floyd Laser Show.

went to laser floyd last winter, took my daughter, was fun... much more wholesale vibe though.

I might have listen posted pictures upthread

I hung out before the show in Central Park with a pretty wholesome crowd when I went back in the day.

I would be all in on Laser Uncle Floyd

Ha! Was just thinking either way it would be Morbius-friendly.

was morbs into Floyd the band?

I'm having a little trouble squaring that

iirc he was much more into cliff floyd

Don’t think so, but he was a very big fan of both SCTV and The Uncle Floyd Show.
