PINK FLOYD

Think I'm going to get these guys - one on each cheek. How much would that rule?

Only rule if you can get them to "shake hands."

When did Roger Waters turn into Richard Gere??????

I've been wondering that for a long time too. He's definitely got better looking as he's got older (unlike Syd :( or, indeed, Dave and certainly Nick)

He smiles more, thesedays.

He smiles like a goddam joker! At the Live 8 reunion, he had that same smile plastered across his face the whole time.

I'm happy he's happy, but damn. I thought you were Roger "let's build a wall between us and the audience" Waters.

from my limited experience talkin Floyd with the ladies, they go apeshit for R Waters, always have--I wonder if it bothered pretty boy Gilmour although it doesn't look like anything ever bothered him

Roger Waters has issues and he's like, deeeeeep, man.

at some point upthread i briefly explored the world of pink floyd slash fiction. did not rule!

What if Pink Floyd were like the A-Team and rode around in this van?

^okay would watch

from my limited experience talkin Floyd with the ladies, they go apeshit for R Waters

Well he's sort of square jawed and manly whereas DG is a bit too pretty

Remember that brief time in the 80s when PINK FLOYD was led by Biff from the Back to the Future movies?

Nah, that's the Fine Young Cannibals.

Trying to remember when the Dallas Cowboys ever went with a green and red color scheme, but I guess it doesn't matter because

PINK FLOYD RULES.

what rules even more about that picture is that they were watching a pink floyd show at the time. don't ask me how gilmour did it.

"Nice to see you guys. Gotta run. Time for my solo."

the look on macca's face only happens at pink floyd shows

"Nice to see you guys. Gotta run. Time for my solo."

"See you back here, oh, 15 minutes?"

I wonder if it ever happened where a kid was watching a Bonham drum solo and looked over next to him to see John Paul Jones standing there, grooving along.

Famously, you could have a drink with most of Cream while they were doing "Toad"...

That is a perplexing dallas cowboys short.

Young gilmour is really a fashion icon for todays young hipsters

They aim for Gilmour and wind up looking like McCartney.

haha

Have we come to a consensus yet what the best-sounding version of Dark Side of the Moon is? Is it the new 2011 James Guthrie mix? The original 1973 UK Harvest LP? The DSD 5.1 layer of the SACD? Pink Floyd RULES!

best sounding version is whatever version is playing right now.

Sigh... I guess I can't really argue with that.

[sorry, i don't actually know what the consensus is]

Anyone have a time machine?

I've posted this elsewhere on ILX, but Gilmour is totally on fire here

And in fact the Who were originally slated to be on that Hendrix/Move/Floyd show, but had to back out for some reason (either Keith Moon's broken foot, or the fact that their stock had fallen and they were decidedly unhip in late 1967 London).

Great unsung Gilmour work here. I think Alfred might agree with me that this was one of McCartney's last truly great ballads.

PS: Pink Floyd Rules

Heard that Macca song on the radio last week for the first time in eons and didn't recognize it until the chorus. Thought it amusing that at least until the bridge and chorus it could be just about anyone from that era.

Ha, that Hendrix/Move/Floyd poster: I just read Lemmy's autobiography this week, and he talks about being a roadie on that tour. So besides all those bands, you've got Lemmy hanging out backstage somewhere (and everybody tripping their asses off the whole time, naturally).

I'm sorry, is this even a question? We can certainly debate the varying merits of post-Syd and post-Waters Floyd (I'd argue that after WYWH, the stock thins considerably, but some of that is sentiment, I'm sure.)

Pink Floyd Rules. (Specially when they're just doing soundtracks for arty hippie flicks.)

never knew gilmour played a steinberger!

(steinbergers rule)

goddamn i wish this was better quality

(still rules though)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6EEICsLZiE&feature=related

I got some ice cream @ an ice cream shop and they were playing WYWH (the album) over the speakers. Both that and the ice cream ruled.

Other than Meddle, the period of Floyd that I don't know anything at all about is the run from More through Obscured by Clouds. I started fucking with More this morning. It rules. Where should I turn my attention next?

Also, would tylerw be able to cough up some period-specific bootlegs that rule?

Go back, rustic. Go back! Back to the glory days of SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS (recorded right before MORE, or less) Back to PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN. Back to any of the bajillion bootlegs of that era. TOTAL ECLIPSE (while an overview) spends much of its time on the MEDDLE and before Floyd. Not sure of its print status, but it was legendary in the 90s and I'm sure it's still around to be found.

here are my two fave floyd bootlegs:
meddled (1971): http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/7615424545/labyrinths-of-coral-caves-in-recent-stories-about
mooed music (1970): http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/7928048401/the-stars-are-screaming-loud-since-people-seem-to

& yeah, total eclipse is quite good!

wow, that rules! thanks

what doesn't rule is the latest 'rolling stone' cover feature on 'dark side.' what a bummer! only interview questions i'm interested in hearing waters, mason, and gilmour answer at this point are 1) why do you think your band rules so much? 2) which of your albums is your favorite? and 3) how awesome was it to play those songs on stage, higher than fuck, night after night?

Q: Why do you think your band rules so much?
Gilmour: Pink Floyd rules.

Q: Which of your albums rules the most?
Waters: Every single one of them.

It would rule if Gilmour answered only in musical notes, or just by reference to songs (e.g. "uhhhh, the last couple of minutes of "Fearless")
