Pink Floyd lovers

[Tuppy Glossop]

Really enjoyed the film; great sound, even though I saw it in a small cinema. DG is just one of the great guitarists and I would've loved to have been at the show live. Thought 'Gig in the sky' was slightly spoiled by the screaming vocal, but what a buzz from 'One of these days' .... superb stuff

It's Peter Hooks son on bass. I found it all a bit self indulgent.

 

Not as self indulgent as say, The Wall though. Obviously.

 

I only really like Syd era Pink Floyd. The rest of it is a bit boring for me. Always preferred the likes of Lee Scratch Perry as stoned off my tits music.

Them three he had on vocals were fucking shite. The woman with the Australian Pink Floyd that i saw was far better.

I was a 13 year old pot head in '89 and got into floyd, loved the wall initially, still think it's a work of art but can't watch it, been promising me bird we'd watch it for bestt part of 20 years. But it's kind of in with all my acid fried teenage angst, love listening to the other albums now though.

Scratch and the dub pioneers I got into a bit later in my 20's, different mood different music, can't beat John holt and ali baba for some uplifting reggae. Proper rootsy reggae is goood for the soul after some heavy floyd.

Bit confused by the double negative there! But it's more the style of the music rather than the lyrics. Probably grandiose would have been a better word.

 

I don't like to not throw a double negative in.

which in effect is what he did....

 

he brought Wright back into the fold, post momentary lapse I'd say there was massive drop off, but Gilmour on guitar with Mason and Wright is good enough for me.

 

I've been to a few New Order gigs without the bassist, sound fucking amazing, I've also been to see Hook and his splinter group - the fucker wants to sing the Joy Division back catalogue - not his fucking job, and the gigs suffer for it, plus the poor bastard he has on bass gets drowned out when hook decides to play a bit.

 

Bassists can be egotistical wankers I reckon

 

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a horrific album. The Division Bell is  better, if only because it doesn't have that horribly dated 80's production and Linn drums throughout. And it has High Hopes.
