Members convexstone Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 I them too. I really like David Gilmours solo stuff, specially On An Island. That Metallic Spheres album is quite good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 You could re-post this same thread every day for the rest of your life and still not even come close to overstating the awesome that is Pink Floyd & David Gilmour!

Members Spizzledude Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 Floyd is, other than the Beatles, the greatest musical influence of my life. I played Echoes every day my senior year of high school. My first big concert was in 1972 seeing Floyd at Winterland in San Fran. They had the quadraphonic PA and debuted Dark Side of The Moon. Best concert ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, seeing them in New Orleans on my birthday on the Division Bell tour was pretty damned awesome, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KCTigerChief Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 mother {censored}ing yes....absolutely one of the best bands of all time. The day David Gilmour dies, a piece of me will die too...That sounds extremely ghey, but that dude's guitar playing has such an emotional impact on me, it's almost surreal. I also endorse this thread for the ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gmac Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 David Gilmour is the reason I picked up the guitar The Floyd and DG is the reason I picked up a tennis racket and played it upside down guitar like - the guitar came later He's such a good player.

Members Kenny Powers Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 David Gilmour is the reason I picked up the guitar This quite literally I was blessed enough to get to seem them in 94 and then David gilmour just a few years about. There is just something absolutely magical about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 I never really listened to much Pink Floyd in HS because (stereotype coming) the stoners and burnouts all loved it so I didn't give it much credence. Over the last few years I've been listening to them more and more and my appreciation of Floyd, and especially Gilmour have grown so much. And really, just keeps growing each time I listen to a song of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best concert ever. http://www.tennesseeconcerts.com/pinkfloyd.html the closest I got to seeing/hearing PF live was when they played at Vandy stadium back in 1994. We lived a few miles from the stadium, so my 3 1/2 year old son and I sat in the back yard and listened for awhile. He drank Kool-Aid from a sippy cup, I had a beer(or 3).... It was a cool evening! Neighbors complained of the noise from the concert so the local paper responded in a most humorous way. " The good people who live around Dudley Field aren't used to such noise, and want activities at the stadium that involve much less cheering.......... Like Vandy football, for instance.." Zing!!

Members Ironhandjohn Posted November 20, 2010 Members Share Posted November 20, 2010 ROFL!!! Poor Vandy! My Pop taught there for 30+ years, and my Mom was an adjunct prof there for a long time, as well.He always referred to their football program as " organized child abuse"...He's a funny guy.

Members Big Elipso Posted November 21, 2010 Members Share Posted November 21, 2010 My 16 year old kid just discovered the awesomeness that is David Gilmour. Which in turn has made me rediscover it. Its totally timeless music. On a side note; I don't really care that much for post Roger Waters Pink Floyd. I don't dislike it but it just does nothing for me. Anyone else feel that way?

I don't dislike it but it just does nothing for me. Anyone else feel that way? Not at all. I'd actually rate A Momentary Lapse of Reason right up there with Floyd's best works with Waters. The Division Bell less so, even though it does have some EPIC moments, too.That said, Animals is still my favorite Floyd record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
