whom ever hired David Gilmour into pink Floyd needs to be thanked a million times over !!!! I can't ever imagine where they would've been without him!!
David was asked to join by the other members during Syd Barrett's difficulties and subsequent breakdown. There was a brief moment when there were 5 members of the band. One evening, they failed to pick up Syd on the way to a show and that sealed David's place in the band.
what a beautiful young man he was! Today somebody commented that a man (Ashton Kutcher) needed a haircut--I said, "I grew up in the seventies--I like men with long hair !"
I've been listening to David's solo music and Pink Floyd for years and years and I find it's really hard to wear out. This music is very well built. It's definitely built to last. :)
Brilliant :) Dave Gilmour and Roger Walters are Pink Floyd although they have gone there SEPARATE WAY'S. There music is as good now as it was in the 70's and beyond. Both keep up the good work.
@dawnjakeleah OH GOD, yeah, he was as hot as they come, and I'm sure he knew it too. But OTOH, he really was a sincere musician and contributor to Pink Floyd, as did all the other members. What I find handsome is that the members --Gilmour for certain, were humanitarians who invested time and money to better the lives of those at the bottom of the heap.
@XnovemberrisingX He is Way older now how could his looks not possibly change he was in his youth then he is a older gentlemen now there would be no way to look young again even those with plastic surgery do not look young he put a few pounds on but the point was that nobody can keep their youth it doesn't work that way and did you read the comment that my comment was addressed to someone said he let himself go and I said no ,he is not in his Twenty's any more .
@XnovemberrisingX He didn't LET his looks go....He just got OLDER.It happens if you live Long Enough Try it and You Too may be Amazed at the Change in You.
Gentlemen...I am 50 years old, I have enjoyed Floyd for longer than some of you have been alive, and from reading some of your inputs, you sound "sooo young", please give it a few more years before you pontificate to those of us who have "in your language" been around the block a few times. So let me state it plainly, Waters wrote the great lyrics, Gilmore played the great rifts. GOT IT!!!???
They each were pink floyd in part. While recording they were Floyd, Touring together. Ofer words, Floyd changed, it was a Floyd without Roger. I enjoyed it. But i like the Floyd between 1968 and 1983 a bit better with Roger. But alot of people do not know David played Bass on alot of the songs Credited to Roger. So it was a group effort.
No offense intended to a musician and his feelings, but I wonder if the admiration that many people have for this man they did not know is intimately related to the feelings which propelled Mark Chapman to murder? Was it the combination of adoration, mental illness and the intensely personal songwriting of John Lennon that created a sense of betrayal felt, and acted upon? I think Chapman’s action may simply have been the 'darker' aspect of what leads other to light candles.
I have also read that this song is a reference to the murder of John Lennon although it is never mentioned in here, nor the method in which it was accomplished. This is part of artistic license. And it doesn't diminish the power of it at all.
I kind of doubt a song about a knife muderer is about the murder of John Lennon. Lennon was shot four times by Texas-born, born-again Christian, Mark David Chapman.
Who are the Simpleton's that feel so compelled to say that this person looks like that person etc...blah blah blah...WTF is the matter with you? Your ignorance is beyond stupid. Shut up, and get a freaking life, and half of a brain, because you are hurting my head. Dumb-asses, die already!
Waters was the sick lyricist but Gilmour has always been the musical force behind floyd after barrett. He's so melodic, funky , heavy , Bluesy dramatic hell not enough adjectives to give him credit.
I have "About Face" on vinyl in storage but I haven't heard this for about twenty years. There are so many great songs that don't fit the Procrustean standards of the Rock or Alternative Rock stations. This is one of those songs.
lol, it is so weird to check out a video of one of my long-time favorite rock-blues guitarists of all time, and see comment after comment from the girls about how hot he is. I'm not sayin I'm jealous, I'm just sayin... ok, I'm jealous dammit.
lol, it is so weird to check out a video of one of my very favorite rock/blues guitaists and read comment after comment from the girls of how hot he is. I'm not sayin I'm jealous, I'm just sayin,,,,ok, I'm jealous.
I hate when people say "Roger Waters is Pink Floyd" or "David Gilmour is Pink Floyd" .. Each member of the band contributed greatly to the sound.. Rick Wright was amazingly talented also, you can hear it in this song... He played with David Gilmour until he died... Nick Mason was also an amazing drummer... Drums are really important when it comes to rock and roll or any music for that matter. Even Syd contributed by being a leader and getting them stared on their amazing journey.
@KarKarpants Ha, you're right... those are douchebags... it is as easy to say Mason "was" Pink Floyd, since he was the only member to have played from start to end..... Long Live the Kings!
@KarKarpants ~~~ you hit it just right, Syd, Roger, Rick, David and just as important Nick, they all contributed to the everlasting legacy of Pink Floyd. some people miss the point and haggle about side issues. the rock revolution they started helped many bands become as great as they got, its like everybody shares the air, the music and nowadays the internet ! thanks for giving due credit where it belongs.
@KarKarpants I must say, I have over the years, lost a bit of respect for Roger Waters because of the intense ego he's got... But there is no doubt, that he and Gilmour each put in excessive amounts of work to create multiple masterpieces.
@spookidy After seeing roger and David together and seeing the wall in Tacoma wa, i think in his old age Roger has exorcised his Demons , He is not filled with anger anymore any truely enjoyed performing for us , It was the most amazing show i have ever seen ,David having a much more even temperment has just continued to ooze music and just gets better and better. But even in the early angry days the must have known that without all of them they could not have made the masterpieces
@KarKarpants Rick Wright wasn't on this song. The Hammond is by Steve Winwood. Any other keyboards will be by Bob Ezrin or Anne Dudley or possibly David.
@KarKarpants Good point. Once a band breaks up and the players go into solo careers you can break down what role each one played in the totality of the band. Look at the Beatles. Lennon was the soul, McCartney wrote "silly love songs."
@ukkfayooyay I agree about Lennon and McCartney---Paul wrote great music but for lyrics judging by the Wings material, blecchh. Admiral Halsey--what the hell? But then there's Yesterday and The Long and Winding Road--both timeless beauties. I wouldn't spend 5 bucks on a wings album but I did get Double Fantasy...And I am coming to appreciate all of George's work recently.. I stumbled across a song called Beware of Darkness....George was deep but not stuffy. Watch the doc by Scorcese !
David Gilmour is out of this world. His unmistakable signature guitar style and lyrics grasp onto you in ways that cant be explained. he really makes you feel what he was feeling at that current moment. its raw emotion, thats what makes it so real.
i was 6 when darkside came out and my parents would listen to it over and over again then WYWH and animals it makes me cry remembering those times, the best man, this song came out when i was a teenager great times man
takes me back to a time when my life was full of adventures and listening to something for the first time and that feeling u get. floyd and solo gilmour/waters just to name a few.
That beautiful silky voice. It's timeless. You don't have to like rock to like this guy. If the Beatles could have picked one more guy to be in the group, it would be this guy. Or...wait. Maybe if HE had chosen THEM!
Agreed. This song right here is better musically than any Waters solo song (in my opinion), and lyrically it's really good too.
When Waters started doing most of the vocals (Animals and The Wall), the songs I happened to like the best were the one's sung or co-sung by David Gilmour, and The Final Cut is definitely lacking in Gilmour's great vocals.
Went to a Roger Waters concert once and got 4 front row seats at the gate. No one knew who Roger Waters was. Within 25 minutes of the concert being broadcast live on the radio the show sold out. Imaging that, I am willing to bet Gilmore cant accomplish this feat. Waters is Pink Floyd. Listen to Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Radio City KAOS, and Amused to Death all awesome albums you will love if you love the Wall. I only like a few songs by Gilmore I like all of Waters songs just like the Wall.
@atmosser I dont know when I go see Waters in Concert he plays all the old tunes of Floyd and they sound very good. I mean he will play the whole albums especially the wall and dark side. If they ever come around go see them and you will see what I am talking about. I have seen them both many times in concert and I must say Waters shows are far better than Gilmore's.
I am a man. We tend not to express what we feel. This song starts with so much feeling (acoustic guitar and vocals) that one's hair is on end about it instantly. His tone and feeling are invincible. I have to admit that mother nature was very generous with him. Women tend to like him, apart from his musical talents. My wife believed me when I told her he had a been a male model in the sixties. And that it was said then he had had a affair with Brigitte Bardot, older than him. We all love him.
Dreamy, lookin at him, then he begins to sing and you go away to a place beautiful and far....he fingers the strings, his instrument his vehicle, you are lifted high and far. few people in the world have ever been able to do what he does.....
@lunaticnana That is exactly what he achieves most time he plays. He has the ability to connect us to him. We have to be reachable, I mean, we have to be compatible. We have to emphasize with his playing and feel it deep inside. Thanks for sharing what you feel. I am a man, and Gilmour and Floyd have helped me to be more sincere and express my feelings, my weakness.
Nobody looks like David Gilmour. They couldn't possibly even dream of being anywhere close to his beauty. He's 64 and he's still attractive. A masterpiece of a person that's for sure.
@happyface4444 Me.............I think the whole album was too short. As a matter of fact, DG could play and sing forever and ever and it would be too short. i love everything he has done solo or with PF. This album has always been one of my all time faves....not a bad tune on it!
@KarmicOmen my daughter & I have been debating that very topic...and of course I win! They do favor. A lot. However, David Gilmour IS much hotter! And he can take a person to another dimension, then give them the Grand Tour ..... never saw Leo do that!
A mountain lion and a Siberian tiger are both big cats; however, while the cougar is beautiful, the tiger is so stunningly gorgeous it takes your breath away!

That beautiful silky voice. It's timeless. You don't have to like rock to like this guy. If the Beatles could have picked one more guy to be in the group, it would be this guy. Or...wait. Maybe if HE had chosen THEM!

All due respect to Dave, but you people that are saying he was more of an influence than Roger have no understanding of Pink Floyd.

Musically, I'd say Gilmour was just as important as Waters, though lyrically and conceptually, Waters has him beat.

Musically and vocally, David has Roger beat by a mile. Most of those great Pink Floyd bass lines; including fretless? David ... not Roger.

@KarmicOmen
Agreed. This song right here is better musically than any Waters solo song (in my opinion), and lyrically it's really good too.
When Waters started doing most of the vocals (Animals and The Wall), the songs I happened to like the best were the one's sung or co-sung by David Gilmour, and The Final Cut is definitely lacking in Gilmour's great vocals.

Went to a Roger Waters concert once and got 4 front row seats at the gate. No one knew who Roger Waters was. Within 25 minutes of the concert being broadcast live on the radio the show sold out. Imaging that, I am willing to bet Gilmore cant accomplish this feat. Waters is Pink Floyd. Listen to Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Radio City KAOS, and Amused to Death all awesome albums you will love if you love the Wall. I only like a few songs by Gilmore I like all of Waters songs just like the Wall.

@sniper71267 Imagine all Pink Floyld's songs without Gilmour's solo's.
Waters was definitely a good songwriter, but the solo's made them famous

@atmosser I dont know when I go see Waters in Concert he plays all the old tunes of Floyd and they sound very good. I mean he will play the whole albums especially the wall and dark side. If they ever come around go see them and you will see what I am talking about. I have seen them both many times in concert and I must say Waters shows are far better than Gilmore's.

@sniper71267 Overall, Gilmour makes Roger look (and sound) like crap.

I am a man. We tend not to express what we feel. This song starts with so much feeling (acoustic guitar and vocals) that one's hair is on end about it instantly. His tone and feeling are invincible. I have to admit that mother nature was very generous with him. Women tend to like him, apart from his musical talents. My wife believed me when I told her he had a been a male model in the sixties. And that it was said then he had had a affair with Brigitte Bardot, older than him. We all love him.

The Bardot thing's right. Gilmour hitchhiked to the south of France in the 60s. There Jimi Hendrix passed her over to David... : )

Dreamy, lookin at him, then he begins to sing and you go away to a place beautiful and far....he fingers the strings, his instrument his vehicle, you are lifted high and far. few people in the world have ever been able to do what he does.....
lunaticnana 1 year ago 33
@lunaticnana That is exactly what he achieves most time he plays. He has the ability to connect us to him. We have to be reachable, I mean, we have to be compatible. We have to emphasize with his playing and feel it deep inside. Thanks for sharing what you feel. I am a man, and Gilmour and Floyd have helped me to be more sincere and express my feelings, my weakness.

Nobody looks like David Gilmour. They couldn't possibly even dream of being anywhere close to his beauty. He's 64 and he's still attractive. A masterpiece of a person that's for sure.

@happyface4444 Me.............I think the whole album was too short. As a matter of fact, DG could play and sing forever and ever and it would be too short. i love everything he has done solo or with PF. This album has always been one of my all time faves....not a bad tune on it!

@KarmicOmen my daughter & I have been debating that very topic...and of course I win! They do favor. A lot. However, David Gilmour IS much hotter! And he can take a person to another dimension, then give them the Grand Tour ..... never saw Leo do that!
