Temat: Pink Floyd - any memories?

I used to listen to their stuff from the radio late afternoons.

When there's noone at home, I used to turn the lights off, turn the radio on, whenever I hear something from them and from other older bands like The Doors etc.

It is sad to hear he's gone.
That explains why D. Gilmour couldn't say anything about Pink Floyd playing more in the future, months ago in an interview. They knew it, but they wanted to hide it probably.ilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 16.09.08 o godzinie 18:41

Very meaningful, even though I must admit I discovered them relatively late in my musical "education". Of course I had always known "Another brick in the wall", but it was only when "High hopes" was released, that I got totally hooked up on PF and started digging deeper to their older albums.


Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

It’s music that I grew up on and was surrounded since early days. I knew lyrics to “The Wall”, “Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish you were here” and “The Final Cut” before I even knew English haha.. every riff and every solo. Some people say that they were the boy band of acid rock. I think it rings a lot of truth, but at the same time their albums were conceptual master pieces set in a timeless environment and executed in a way only comparable to classical music.
They were real music virtuosos and we don’t get a lot of that these days, they stood the test of time and I am sure will still be popular for many years to come.

I like them, but I like Alan Parsons as much.

I must say I follow APP moe than I followed Pink Floyd.

But PF is the revolution itself, in the music history.

Nice one! Yea APP was definitely on the roster as well. My dad had a really sick collection of vinyl at one point.

True, I haven't seen a successor to them yet.

Well, I haven’t been very impressed with “Pulse” or anything else that I’ve heard after. Their time has gone. I saw the 1994 show at Giants stadium in NJ and it completely blew my mind… there was however a huge difference in quality of music, meaning old vs. the new Floyd. I am not saying that they wouldn’t be able to rock out with the cock out… but at the same time… there is something about 60 year old man on stage that is rather unappealing.

Oh, that!
For that we had to freeze the time! :)

Yea, I don't think we will. Fantomas comes damn close to the innovative aspect of it all, but it’s not something that everyone will enjoy, where Floyd just hit the spot with so many. Mike Patton is a genius in his own genre… but doesn’t really influence that wide of an audience… who knows, maybe with time he will.

Also, what we have to keep in mind is that these are pioneers that we are talking about, usually when dealing with the “OGs” (Original Gangsters) it almost always is something mind blowing. Something phresh, previously unheard.

Pink Floyd are a vital part of my musical identity, to say it as shortly as possible. And Rick Wright was the co-writer of "Us And Them", the very first PF song I've ever heard and the one that made me fall in love with their music...

Shine on you, crazy diamond...

It's been a very important band.

It's not that I know everything about them, but their music has always been somewhere near me. It started with The Wall.
I remember the Berlin concert (on TV) in 1990 (!) as a milestone in music and history.

I went to David Gilmour's concert in Gdansk two years ago, so I could feel it live. (But they were so old. It kind of put me off...)

For me it's good to stop here and then and listen to them again.
Each song has its feel. I wouldn't be able to pick the best.

I have a grudge against those guys. When whey released "Division Bell", they promised another LP in ten years. I decided to wait. It seemed like eternity, but when the deadline actually passed, it took much less time than I had imagined. In a way, those bastards have shrunk fourteen years of my life. And the LP? Fat chance!Adam Lipiński edytował(a) ten post dnia 17.09.08 o godzinie 20:27

hahahahahaha... my friends and I did a party upstate NY last year, and it was literally next door to one of the Floyd's ranch. At night we saw a light in his house, so one of my friends went up and started yelling - "You've ruined my life!!!!" hehehehe...
