Way to hang out and talk to each other again! Again, my comments were all in regard to a particularly sluggish jam on one early '70s bootleg that a friend played for me the other night. I apologize to all if I seem to be spewing general vitriol on the Floydians, especially in a thread recongizing Gilmour's birthday. That was not my intention I am familiar with their ouvre (indeed, could anyone of my age NOT be?) and I have a healthy respect for the band collectively and as individual players. When I say sluggish, for instance, keep in mind that I really DIG Nick Mason's sort of default half-time feel and find it deep, not sluggish...but on this boot, I'm telling ya...well, no matter.

It doesn't matter, in the end, NONE of them were good enough for Roger Waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike51 Posted March 7, 2006 Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 Originally posted by Magpel Uh, I think the key word in my description was "long form," and boy that's what they were doing on this bootleg--long form pentatonic noodling to rival the most indulgent psychedelia of the era--in my humbop, of course. Richard Wright stikes me as particularly uninteresting, but to my tastes, Gilomour wasn't really going anywhere special either. Compared to who?

He wrote both the words and the music. Interesting story behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackpig Posted March 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2006 I just bought the album and it's like meeting an old friend who's done rather well in life. There are little tonal motifs scattered through it that no other guitarist in the world can even come close to replicating. Best album I've heard in years.

Members MoreGuitars Posted March 8, 2006 Members Share Posted March 8, 2006 I look forward to seeing my friend Steve who is playing drums with Gilmour. It should be a great concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Base Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Apparently he is rehearsing in a club not far from me!!!!! What are the odds I can wander down with a couple of empty guitar cases or an old amp, swear & fart a lot, and convince anyone on the door I'm working there????

Members timrocker Posted March 11, 2006 Members Share Posted March 11, 2006 Heard a tune off a solo lp of his recently. Title: There's no way out of here. Loved the song immediately.

Loved the song immediately. Why have I not heard this before? Anyone know what lp this is from? I would buy it in an instant. It is from his self-titled solo album from 1978 as Johnny Storm said. In my opinion it is the best song on that album. The rest of it is pretty good, but it sounds sort of dated. It is probably the most "Floyd" sounding of all the members solo stuff...although Gilmour's new album sounds very "Floydian" to me as well.

Members default_damage Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mr. Gilmore suits me fine. his playing "speaks to me" either with P.F. or solo. as mentioned "what he leaves out " is knowing alot about his art.given the choice between the (pick one or two) monsters of rock guitar and David Gilmore ,I'd take Mr. Gilmore without hesitation. There's No Way Out Of Here (From the album "DAVID GILMOUR") .There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for goodThere was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you tookThere are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it goThere's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it rightThere's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good And never was there an answer, there an answerNot without listening, without seeing There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see inThere was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you tookThere's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
