I saw Floyd 15-20 years ago and that was one of the best concerts I've seen in my 40 years.

dude you hold them on some kind of pedestal that is just irrational to me.

my entire life listening to music, and playing music, and I think generally being open to alot of things, have never once understood a pink floyd fan.

the only fans I have ever known were pot smoking hippie "wannabes" and went all "ohh and ahh" to psuedo psychedelic sounds and arrangements.

other than their influence on the drug culture from 1967 and after, I don't think I will ever see what they have done musically.

yes they made "trippy" music, that meandered around a soundscape, but nothing that ever amazed me in arrangement, or tonality.

everyone has different tastes in what they like to hear, and even scientifically it is shown some people prefer certain sounds and notes. maybe that's just it, but I seriously can't name one pink song I can enjoy listening to, except "run like hell" every once in a blue moon.

all it ever reminds me of is hippy wannabes from my teenage years going ooh and ahh while stoned, and me not wanting to do drugs, and just generally not liking music with random changes in feel, tempo, sound, and rhythm.

"progressive" jazz and all other forms similar I have and never will enjoy or appreciate. even at 1 year of guitar lessons, I could make music like it, basically it all sounds like a bunch of guys doing whatever they feel like with no relation to the rest of the band (that is a generalization of jazz-fusion and similar styles) even after learning some music theory, and looking at the arrangements of said styles and examples, I can find no reason why note "x" is played at a certain time other than it is the most dissonant sounding note possible.

that goes along with the synth and guitar sounds. If making funky and odd sounding notes is talent, give you're local music shop a stop, and buy random effects, then have a random 15 year old emo kid plug in, and have him wail while turning the knobs in random order.

fi that is talent, and considered groundbreaking, I guess I am missing something. anyone can do those type of sounds and mix them together.

if there is some hidden meaning or something, I have never listened to floyd high, and never will.

sorry for the rant, but honestly in this world I have never personally met anyone who loves floyd that wasn't a total stoner in HS, and now they listen to it to remember the "good old days"

You don't get Pink Floyd?

Your a SQUARE-:D -:rofl

Well, to me that's like saying Paul was the Beatles.

You can't have Floyd without Dave's voice and guitar, at least not to me.

I am a fan of Roger's and Dave's solo stuff, too. Dave's first solo album is the one I put on if I want to mellow. Mihalis is a great song to just chill out to.

Ditto bro. There's No Way Out Of Here is one of my all-time fav. tunes. Mihalis is a good one nonetheless.

Xargos · « **Reply #55 on:** February 25, 2007, 09:54:51 PM »

This is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. It's a long song but check out Buck's fret work.

Gibson Les Paul Goldtop

I had absolutely no idea that was a P-90 Les Paul on that solo. Gotta love single coil pickups.

Nice. You got the "Remastered versions" of his first two Solo albums last year right? If not, they really ARE worth getting. All of the Tape Hiss is gone. If you don't, pass on the old ones to a buddy. and buy the two remasters, you will not regret it.

That's why most laugh when I say he's the greatest alive.

More useless trivia. The guitar he used on "David Gilmour" was the "No 001 Strat". It was originally given to a Fender employee in 54. A few years later, it was sold to legendary pickup guru Seymour Duncan. Seymour sold it to David Gilmour’s guitar tech, Phil Taylor in 1977. Eighteen months later, Gilmour pursuaded Phil to part with it for an undisclosed (i.e. enormous) sum.

He also used this "001 Strat" on the rhythm portions of ABITW part 2.

You can see it being used in the "2004 Strat Pack" which he headlined. He used it on Marooned, Coming Back to Life and Sorrow. Some say it "dropped notes" at times, I think it sounded great.
