  • buy everything supports you!!!

  • In view of the recent riots God help us

  • I love this song, but the woman vocals mess it up as usual.

  • Goes to show how awesome each member of pink floyd was/is.

    Awesome song. "God wants chain stores" awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • i hate the souds added in this vid :(

  • Pure genius like all of Roger and Davids stuff

  • i dont think any one really likes Syd's as much as there Gilmore era stuff i just think there trying to make them selves sound cool and unique to the Pink Floyd community

  • @brianz1214 I used to think this as well. but after i listened Astronomy Domine and Lucifer Sam i realised he was indeed a genious

  • @brianz1214 Of course the music of Wish You Were Here and Dartk Side... are better

  • @theseeker2k5 u sound lik a cult and a nazi u bloody retard there is NO GOD

  • «Include me out.»

    -- Fritz Lang in Godards «Le Mépris», 1963

  • This remind me my childhood too when i was 10 & now i'm 25!! lol

  • @bluesst now 26 hehehe

  • I remember my grandpa introduced me to this album when I was like 5 or 6 and I wore that CD out all through my childhood.

  • @mrbear41208 dude my dad introduced this to me when i was very young as well and i listened to it about every night for the longest time it had me hooked

  • People are always droppin Syd Barret's name whenever they can...He's a footnote in the history of the band. Without him they became the Floyd we know today. With him, these guys would have lingered in relativeobscurity for another few albums and then dissapeared into the vapor. No one misses Syd but his buddies.

  • And without Syd, Wish You Were Here doesn't exist, to name just one... why must you sell him short? Syd helped create the monster that Floyd became. A very talented, incredibly good-sounding monster.

  • YAWN!!!!

  • Roger alternates 2 kinds of God:

    What God (1) wants, God (1) gets, God (2) helps all.

    (1) = Supra-national government that uses market forces, manipulated conflicts, ignorance, fear, television to control population. Everything this God does, it "makes perfect sense expressed in dollars and cents". This kind of "God wants his secret never to be told".

    (2) = Conventional Supreme Being

  • "Hello,.. I'm Billy"

    Don't forget Richard Wright, he is possibly the greatest of them all: 'Shine On Pts 1,9', 'Great Gig' and the list goes on... He is my hero as a pianist myself. And how's the laugh after "i'm only joking", I've never seen such a grin on the face of the prophet of concepts before.

  • RIP Rick :(

  • You have to realise Reg would be an architect today if it wasn't for Barrett. Reg and Gil accomplished musical fame through music that audiences would crave because of it's technicalities (and of course not everybody likes this theoretical way of expression and recount)but it was indeed Barrett we should thank for works like 'Dogs' and 'Shine On' because the other two just wanted to be in a band and it wasn't their passion, without the determination of 'Astronomy Domine' etc.

  • Khemphis, you took the words right out of my mouth. Syd & Waters are both geniuses, Waters needs acknowledge Syd & being an artist, I understand Syd in ways that corrupt society & conservatives don't.

  • ......Also, peace be with you, Rick Wright, the organ master. You & Syd shall gig in heaven for all eternity.

  • lol REG??????????? good old unknown fifth member reg lol

  • His teeth are broken

  • yeah because back in the 60s before the floyd became big, they were playing a gig and some chucked a penny and it hit him in the mouth thus chipping his tooth.

  • Jeff Beck wailing again , Roger Water had another video from the Radio Caos album , anybody seen it? . A kid in a wheel chair, named Billy

  • radio chaos?

  • Radio Kaos?

  • Amused to death.

  • Amazing lyrics, and yes pretty revolting for BBC not to air this particular video....

  • Strange video but amusing

  • I can't say that the video is real coherent -- and the claymation stuff is a bit too reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's schlock -- but the song rocks hard, and so does everything Rog does. :-)

  • God wants war, God wants PEACE...

    awesome song!!

  • Have seen another version of this,which just has the band playing in the studio.Whatever Beck's playing is brilliant!

  • Roger is Pink Floyd

  • Syd Barrett is Pink Floyd.

  • syd barret's contribution was insignificant compared to roger and dave's input !!

  • I disagree with that and it is doubtful that I will ever change my mind -- have had the argument many times. I respect your opinion but disagree with it.

  • Blasphemy

  • It really is blasphemous; people who try to separate Barrett from Floyd are enjoying them for all the wrong reasons. Pink Floyd was two very different entities during and after his tenure with the band. Without appreciating what Barrett helped pave the way for artistically, how can one even appreciate what Floyd would eventually become?

  • You're both wrong. Syd may have started Pink Floyd, but if he had stayed with Pink Floyd, they never would have written the masterpieces they did. It would all be happy, childish sunshine stuff. Reality never would have hit them.

  • Yeah, sure. If he were Pink Floyd, I'd definetly like to see him write things that come close to comparing to things like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", or "Echoes", or "The Dark Side of the Moon". You seriously don't know what you're talking about. I bet the only Pink Floyd you listen to is "The Wall", and "The Final Cut".

  • I was searching this video,since the day it was taken off MTV.Another powerful & anthemic song & lyrics that more true for this gen.Did U know-At one time when you entered "Semtex" in Google search,it showed pages with info on Semtex along with ads from Evengelists,church and Jesus and related orgs asking for donations.A classic case of co-incidence or did Roger really wrote that line after doing the same search?

  • A better video could have been made for this song which I like very much. I watched the show in Athens,Greece.Amazing! 20.000 people!

    Thanks for sharing the video with us anyway.

    I watched him at hyde park calling last saturday, AMAZING! Great to see him and Nick on stage again :)

  • Roger and Jeff ........Life IS Good!
