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.

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.

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

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.

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
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 18 December 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link
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.

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

"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"
