When The Tigers Broke Free

Taking up from that other thread, there are parts of The Wall in the movie that aren't on the album. This is one of those parts. It's autobiographical on the part of Roger Waters' loss of his father in WWII, as I recall. I've watched the movie a million times but I have to admit everytime this part comes on I do get a little choked up. And that, my friends, is what good art is about.

Damn it, Now I'm going to have to watch it for the Billionth and one time...

I only own maybe 10 DVDs, and that's one of them.

As a Pink Floyd fan and general classic rock enthusiast, I can say with no remorse that this song is horrible and sucks. I think the only reason you like it is because it has a war video to accompany it.

And you'd be wrong.

But we're used to that.

Floyd is a outstanding band, but airplay killed them and every teen who ever rolled a fatty thought they had to play the wall...Got burnt out.

Everyone is entitled to their own taste but it blows my mind that you can't see the artistry in that video.

Two remote control Stuka's were used in the film. I believe for In the Flesh to open the film. The one that they show diving was crashed for effect. Nick Mason (drummer) still has the other one.

DiabloTx, pm me. I have the "re-released Final Cut" on CD. It now has When the Tigers Broke Free on it. I can send you a "Care Package" of Pink Floyd. I have some rare things as well.

I have the 45 of this song... with the B-side "Bring the boys back home" movie version. It created quite a buzz at the time because it said it was from the upcoming album "The Final Cut" which was the first announcement of the new album. Of course, "Tigers" wasn't on the album.

Good song, in it's context... it's not meant to be a good ol' rock 'n roll song.

While I like Floyd and The Wall, I've always found Roger to be a whiny bastige.
