i live near the singer, sid is he called?? some fans stood outside his house and he pelted them with tomatoes :stunned: :lol:

i like the wall because

1) I grew up with it [3 years old watching it once or twice every day]

2)Its so different

3) There are many things in it that can be easily passed by...

i've been really meaning to get into Pink Floyd over last couple of years, but i've not really quite managed it.

 

i've heard the "Wish You Were Here" album, and I loved it. Of the others I've heard 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Money' are some of my all time favourite songs. There are more tracks i've heard as well (e.g. Another Brick In The Wall, Interstellar Overdrive). But I've never really taken the time to actually sit down and get into them properly, when I really should.

benni, of fuck!!!! you're right!!

Hey You... Run Like Hell

All songs!!!! COOL!! :cool:

Roger Waters

 

This is your thread to appreciate the genius of Roger Waters....

 

some great lyrics of his to start off! We Salute you Radio Kaos....Tide is Turning

 

I used to think the world was flat

Rarely threw my hat into the crowd

I felt I had used up my quota of yearning

Used to look in on the children at night

In the glow of their Donald Duck light

And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning

 

Satellite buzzing through the endless night

Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights

Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning

Who is the strongest, who is the best

Who holds the aces, the East or the West

This is the crap our children are learning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning

Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

 

Now the satellite's confused

'Cos on Saturday night

The airwaves were full of compassion and light

And his silicon heart warmed

To the sight of a billion candles burning

Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

The tide is turning Billy

 

I'm not saying that the battle is won

But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun

Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the

War Lords

Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning Sylvester

 

The tide is turning.

 

"That's it!"

[Morse Code:]

"Now the past is over but you are not alone

Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone

We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea

of macho bullshit and mediocrity"

;)

Best Lines of Radio Kaos

 

 

Waters: Whats your favorite fish?

Phone Caller: Well my favorite fish is Sole, because you can right into their eyes

 

:lol:

Roger Waters is a brilliant lyricist, it's too bad he became completely full of himself and turned into a huge asshole. :P

Pink Floyd

 

Kicks himself !! I got brought up on some of their stuff. !!!

Infact I think its one of the first ever tunes I ever knew !!

Pink Floyd pupils claim royalties

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4047533.stm

 

Former schoolchildren who sang on Pink Floyd's 1979 single Another Brick in The Wall have begun action for unpaid royalties.

 

:stunned:

isn't that abit late...?

well they've grown up and realised their worth I guess :wink3:

didn't they have some parents before that could have told them before that they are worth something?

unfortunately i don't think any of the kids ever had a mother or father

 

on a serious note though, i really hate the way of the courts now...it's becoming as increasingly anal as the American ways are. In which you can pretty much claim for anything or try and suckle at every little law and try and get a case from it.

like the American guy, who was in London, who ran onto the back of a London bus, but then, due to his own fault,fell off. He claimed a LOT of money, and now they're changing the idea of those types of buses. How Stupid!! the fact HE fell off the back, with no real injuries, and it was his own judgement to get on the back of the bus...he feels like he was wrongly done too, and sued!

And the Old Red Buses soon will never be again!

 

Anyway, not wanting to take the thread away from the Story...I don't think they should be able to claim any money at all.

:rolleyes: oh puhleeze...1979? They need to get over it. :P

That's bullshit.

:stunned: my dad just told me that yesterday. they are adults now, why they ask for it more than 20 years later? they could do it when they become adults not now.

Pink Floyd

 

Any Pink Floyd fans out there?

 

Wish You Were Here, is their greatest album imo, even though a lot of people only think of Dark Side of the Moon.

I loooooooooove Pink Floyd.

 

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is my hands down favorite (best debut album ever, perhaps?), though their 70's stuff is quite good as well (Meddle is my favorite of that bunch, and, of course, I don't even have to say anything about how great Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are, not to mention Atom Heart Mother).

 

The timing of this thread is funny, because I just listened to Pink Floyd for the first time in months last night. :roll:

Pink Floyd is amazing !!! One of my fave albums is The Final Cut !
