+John Donahue Roger brings it out in him I think. I believe after what Roger did to Pink Floyd (take over creatively that is) I don't think you can blame David.

I agree. And I think they have SUCH different personalities that it was sort of bound to happen. I read Nick Mason's book and I think he summarized it best with an old idiom: irresistible force (Roger) meets immoveable object (David).

Very good interview. It just cracks me up when people com,plain that Floyd takes to much time between releases. They released 7 albums in the 70's. Technically 8 since The wall is a double. Who had more releases then Floyd in the 70's?

Yep. While their classical album line up came out every other year: Dark Side of the Moon [1973], Wish You Were Here [1975], Animals [1977] and The Wall [1979]. Before then, they were producing on average an album a year: Piper at the Gates of Dawn [1967], Saucer Full of Secrets [1968], More [1969] Ummagumma [1969], Atom Heart Mother [1970], Meddle [1971], Obscured by Clouds [1972] and (again) Dark Side of the Moon. I fully agree on the ridiculousness on the idea that Pink Floyd takes too much time as a general tendency. The exceptions are the last three albums, The Final Cut [1983], Momentary Lapse of Reason [1987] and The Division Bell [1994], respectively, 4 year, 5 year and 7 year gaps--and when the band had fractured and went into legal wranglings and acrimony . . .

@jangondas8097 4 жыл бұрын
@@sail2byzantium even the final cut or a momentary lapse dont count. dont forget they were working on the wall movie before the final cut. and after the final cut both roger and david were busy with their solo records in 1984 and after that roger left the band and they had to cope with absence of their main songwriter.

Much better album than the second one IMHO, but "About Face" was just so typically "80's" and it has not aged well. This album, "David Gilmour," however, is TIMELESS.

There are still idiots out there who hate Dave because he replaced Syd. No other reason. They overlook the fact that he helped Syd with his solo albums and made sure that Syd got proper royalties to keep him afloat. Plus he is seemingly nicer than Roger. However, saying that Alan Parsons had little to do with Dark Side is patently untrue and dismissive of him. They never made a,better sounding record without him that's for sure.

They were discussing the song writing of DSOTM when he made that comment, so David was right, Alan Parsons played no part in the writing of the material for that record.

It could be because Parsons turned them down to record Wish You Were Here so Gilmour wasn't too friendly with him anymore.

They complained that roger had too much writing control. That he was pushing his music. But david and richard both put out solo records and roger is only writing for floyd. Maybe they should have been more focused. While he is doing a solo record roger is at home writing the wall at this very moment

There was a certain snootiness about him. He gave off the vibe that the interviewer couldn't connect with him.
@sportz2493 7 жыл бұрын
I don't think it's actually snootiness. That is classic English reserve and I think almost anyone who knows David describes him as a person who is very quiet and reserved. He has said on a few occasions that he feels frustration with his inability to express himself linguistically as well as he would like. On the other hand, his expressiveness with music is outstanding.
@factorylad5071 5 жыл бұрын
SUNDAY TIMES Im not going to argue that David is not a very nice person and in some truth, a superior person but I think his only linguistic difficulty is his pronunciation of the letter a and he always uses that stuffy southern a not the flatter northern a . I can't begin to tell you the difference that would make to the meanings of his songs and he knows which is really correct, so why does he do it? Haha, that can be the only real reason for the vibe he seems to be giving off.
