Pink Floyd - Ibiza Bar

[santanaincubus]

Floyd is just as heavy as Sabbath and Zeppelin lol

[swgurrl]

I agree Oberfour, This album demonstrates the band in a whole new light that most people would never believe. This song and The Nile Song are absolutely the 2 best songs on here

[NyanBabi54]

Sounds like the Nile Song but i don't know maybe the Nile Song sounds like this ;D its hard to bash a Pink Floyd song, there is nothing to hate!

[mrxd00123]

2 people don't want 'MORE"

[skyhookCDN]

@mrxd00123 you have to remember that for a lot of people, Pink Floyd began with Dark Side of the Moon. Their most risque stuff mostly came before that album.

[yatestoon]

makes me cry

[TNTIV]

I Love this SONG. i learned it in like 10mins. by ear

[MavisMan97]

this is like grunge only better. I love it.

[pivot1022]

@MavisMan97 It's funny, cause grunge band Love Battery covered this, and it kicks ass.

[67bruinsfan]

FFFFUUUUCKKKK ...i'm pretty speechless @ the moment....Gilmour=gorgeous & a wee bit older than my mum.....my ears are recovering from an eargasm.....

[MyToncek]

When i listen to this song i imagine me on a chairlift with a joint. :)

[username91ification]

Very proto-grunge.

I can imaginer Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain listened to this in their youth.

[wilsob26]

oops. sorry, my touchscreen hit dislike on accedent... i actually love this song.

[twallace71a]

@wilsob26 I 'up-thumbed' it to off set your accidental 'down-thumbing'. You're welcome everyone!

[oberfour1]

The More album is a masterpiece.

The Guitar here melts your face off.

[gremby]

BEST ALBUM EVER.

[luisdorame]

take me down take me down

from the shelf above your head

and give me a time when the characters rhyme

and the story line is kind....

fucking awesome... takes me far far away in my head...

[TheJurneyMan]

I only wish Pink Floyd had more songs like this.

[kochambobo]

osoooom!



[elyakupie]

Bought the vinyl last week, was a big day as achieved many other things, but getting "More" in vinyl topped it that day.

[IndianaSurfGuitar]

The 'More' soundtrack album would be my 2nd favorite Pink Floyd album, after 'Atom Heart Mother'. They were just starting to find their direction with 'More', and were definitely on their way toward 'Dark Side...' with 'Atom Heart Mother'. Between "Ibiza Bar" & "The Nile Song," I can't really pick a favorite, since they both pretty much kick ass.

[081793]

@IndianaSurfGuitar I agree about More and Atom Heart Mother - definitely my two favorite. I think Ibiza bar is the better of the two, when the slide comes in on the soft part my brain melts. Although Nile Song has the better solo.

[TheFuzzgun]

More?



[ralffran]

153 I like It ... 0 I dont Like it PINK FLOYD RULES!

[Nguli34689]

@ralffran Up by six points to 159 and 0 "I don't like" The score is: 159 in favor with 0 contra as of this very moment.

[ralffran]

@Nguli34689 ;) yeeeee

[AK4TsEv3N]

I think albums like More, Obscured By Clouds or Atom Heart Mother should be more apreciated than The Wall or The Dark Side Of The Moon

[Ph03n1xOfficial]

@AK4TsEv3N Amen <3 Atom Heart Mother is my favorite Floyd album. More sounds like a mix of hard rock songs, psychedelia, and tranquil songs <3

[AK4TsEv3N]

@Ph03n1xOfficial Yeah, in order AHM is my 3rd fav album cause Animals is the one I like the most and then wish you were here because of Shine on you crazy diamond, but atom heart mother is one incredibly awesome album.

[Ph03n1xOfficial]

@AK4TsEv3N It is, the best music by musicians is the music that isn't as commercially successful.

[AK4TsEv3N]

@Ph03n1xOfficial Couldn't agree with you more man.

[vieska33]

revolucionarios.



[LittaGangsta]

gotta love nicks simple yet great drumming

[SongsTheLordTaughtUs]

@LittaGangsta Every song. Simple, understated and absolutely the perfect thing to play. He is such a underrated part of their sound.

[HeavyIronMetalMaiden]

Serious proto metal!! Almost void of blues influence!!

[AtomHeartRunner]

This is on my "rock out" list in my iPod.

[indoorsun]

How goods this tune!!!! - OOoooooowa!!!

[centurio81]

One of the best Pink Floyd "Cool feelin" Songs. :)

[gremby]

sborro

[gennatnic]

@gremby ... idem :)



[gremby]

@gennatnic con una canzone del genere.... stupendamente capolovaro

[lj3fpe3]

My favorite 2 songs from Pink Floyds More love it!!

[filipposg7]

too many drugs

[rosinante2]

"Easily their most under-appreciated album."

Right!

[cford1992]

I love the fact that "The Nile Song" and Ibiza Bar" are two variations of the same song, musically they're the same but lyrically different, but both with the same themes. Damn Pink Floyd were fucking geniuses, fucking excellent song from an excellent, timeless, incredible, pure band. Fucking Floyd FOREVER!!!!!!!

[LoliLoli83]

@cford1992 Very true, and I love both of them.

[chretienproduction]

anybody knows who has written between Dave and Roger ? Or was it Wright?

[Noodles37UK]

Like Nile Song. Only even better!

[capebee]

Whoa! So heavy.

[63virgini]

j'ai toujours adoré la musique de Pink Floyd. Plus jeune j'ai essayé de comprendre les paroles mais c'était incompréhensible ayant étudié un an ou deux l'anglais à l'école. Cela reste encore difficile aujourd'hui mais je comprends mieux

[rgibnz320]

@63virgini J'ai un grand pene.

[droitegauched]

@rgibnz320  ?????

[63virgini]

@rgibnz320 moi aussi

[FloydfanMega]

this belongs in my favourites

[MetallicBill]

I bought the remastered CD, has the film better documented, along with stills, but missing the lyrics for this one. I always had trouble with it, it's like The Narrow Way, where apparently D Gilmour was just not confident in the lyrics to have them front and center in the mix

[trirailskater954]

SK8MAFIA FOR LIFE

[desotowright]

What an awesome freaking song!

[danolson]

Easily their most under-appreciated album.

This is my go-to track when some kid asks, just what exactly IS "acid rock"?

[viksox13]

@danolson this followed by The Nile Song should clue anyone in.

[mahavishnuxc]

@danolson The Doors: "The End" or "When The Music Is Over", that's really up there.

[louiseduvee]

oh, this is so great...thank you!

[scriltist]

I'd not heard this before, it's clearly a variation on The Nile Song, but has a more psychedelic edge.

[atomheartgunner]

3.21 minutes of bliss.

[thelisergick]

chaaakaaaal mansooo teeemaaaa rockero a cagar!!!!! esta wea es filete

[KarmicOmen]

Revisited this tune recently from my Pink Floyd collection, and now I am totally obsessed with it!

This is also one of my favorite Gilmour solos!

[northcoast69]

THX for the post!

[TheBoss351Mustang]

I wish it would have been syd and dave, not roger and dave or roger and syd. Roger was the weak link..

[psynapsurfa]

@TheBoss351Mustang but roger waters wrote so many good lyrics, how could you say that....like dark side of the moon album, i love daves guitar and presence, but roger could certainly write good songs.

[MetallicBill]

@psynapsurfa If Dave wrote it, perhaps explains the low mix, I was saying, he sings it or they sing it much the same way the chorus is hidden in The Narrow Way from Ummagumma

[skovie23232]

They perfectly wrote rhythms and lyrics of a junkie having a blast then realizing the outcomes of the party and what the drugs can do, god pink floyd, can anybody make up a more perefct band?

[monkified1989]

barrett v.s gilmour? really?? how about lets all sit back and listen to PINK FLOYD as it was

[MetallicBill]

@monkified1989 I'll tell ya something I've found... If you tag Syd Barrett on LAST.FM, you will find the Floyd, Gilmour and Roger Waters songs, where as with tagging PF or LZ, you won't hear original music like you'd think

[AaronMk91]

Pwnsome.

[tteu123]

I must honestly say: I prefer Gilmour by miles. And I'm not a casual pink floyd fan, I'm a real fanatic. I just think that Gilmour's songs have more beauty in them whilst Syd's are a bit too spaced out for me. I've never done acid.

[rushpython100]

@tteu123 syd's stuff is amazing on acid.... as is all pink floyd.

[kaltrops]

I'm sure it was Link Wray not Dave Davies that pioneered the distorted overdrive guitar sound by jabbing a pencil into his amp speakers. That was in the late 50s.

[pageynumbert2]

its just the nile song transposed...hehe

[DatingGameKiller]

@pageynumbert2 ...I tend to agree...it's damn near the same song. Much like what they did on Atom Heart Mother....it's Echoes, transposed.

[JupiterBleu]

Shame nobody does music like this anymore

[ElectricBlueOil]

Perhaps Pink Floyd's best heavy song.

[andrew406]

@ElectricBlueOil nope nile song is but this is still class as is most of the floyds stuff

[ElectricBlueOil]

@andrew406 I guess, but I say Floyd's prog songs were much better than their heavy ones.

[MetallicBill]

@andrew406 There's both early proto-metal as one critic cited them.

[deusirae76]

@ElectricBlueOil The Nile Song is better.

[MEYERS3000]

@deusirae76 @ElectricBlueOil Are you kidding? Young Lust all the way.

[nokturnal5647]

I really like the lyrics to this song.

[xxxhentaikingxxx]

For some reason, this song reminds me of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen".

[vampiroangelico]

Is Gilmour singing this one? Doesn't really sound like either Waters or Wright...

Wow Pink Floyd were ahead of their time....The Beatles didn't even write the White Album and Pink Floyd were already using distorted guitars, angry vocals and powerful drumming....as far as I'm concerned, this might as well be the first heavy metal song ever recorded, even considering that PF are not a metal band at all!

[Suzy1Creamcheese]

@vampiroangelico Yep! It's Gilmour singing.

[Ratelzwatel]

@vampiroangelico White Album is from 1968. Ibiza Bar is from 1969. Earlier heavy metal has been made by The Kinks in 1964 (All Day And All Of The Night).

[vampiroangelico]

@Ratelzwatel I know it already, I'm very familiar with The Kinks, but technically, if heavy metal is to be defined by the presence of heavily distorted guitars, raspy voice and loud drums, then Ibiza Bar and The Nile Song from this album are prime examples of it, and the first ever recorded by a band. The Kinks never did any of the above. :-)

[Ratelzwatel]

@vampiroangelico Didn't they? :) All Day And All Of The Night does have a very, VERY distorted guitar, a raspy voice and loud drums. As far as I know, their guitar player Dave Davies invented the distorted guitar by damaging the speaker of an amplifier. A difference I hear is that Pink Floyd's heavy metal uses reverb and maybe some guitar double tracking.

BTW. Ibiza Bar is one of my favourite non-Barrett Pink Floyd tracks.

[vampiroangelico]

@Ratelzwatel Haha but if Davies invented the distorted guitar by pure coincidence, I much rather give the credit to Gilmour, which is a far more accomplished musician and singer than that guy from The Kinks....if anything, all the effort and time that Gimour gave to learning how to be a good musician, has to be aknowledged.

;-)

[Ratelzwatel]

@vampiroangelico Well, at least Dave Davies invented something. :D Also Syd Barrett invented new guitar sounds. And what did Gilmour invent, if I may ask?

Gilmour: good musician yes, original musician no. :)

[vampiroangelico]

@Ratelzwatel Well, I don't know you personally, but judging by that statement, you don't sound like you're a musician; Gilmour invented a guitar style, with his phrasing, plenty of guitar sounds, his arrangement and composition style was completely polished and unheard of, at the time....he invented and pioneered plenty!

Just because he didnt break amps, doesnt imply he didnt invent anything....

[Ratelzwatel]

@vampiroangelico Ha! Judging by your statements, you sound like a Gilmour-fan. :) I think Gilmour's polished style is comparable with what Peter Green already did on Fleetwood Mac's 'Albatross'. I think what Gilmour added are details, in contrary to the giant leaps of Dave Davies (distortion guitar) and Syd Barrett (guitar as dream generator). But we can agree to have different opinions. :)

[pinkstarburst95]

@Ratelzwatel, that was a 3 minute song. with barely any guitar. David is in a whole other world.

[metal4lifeddie]

@Ratelzwatel Your are so right gaytrollfag. Dogs. Comfortably Numb.Pigs (3 Different ones). The Narrow Way. Hes doing just 'the details' in those songs.

[Ratelzwatel]

@metal4lifeddie I made a comparison with revolutionary guitar players like Dave Davies (or Link Wray) and Syd Barrett.

[metal4lifeddie]

@Ratelzwatel uh yeah, but u said Syd is better than Gimour, which has nothing to do with this song

[Ratelzwatel]

@metal4lifeddie No, I only said that Barrett is more original than Gilmour. I think that, in a technical way, Gimour is a better player than Barrett. Gilmour can reproduce music, play the same tune twice. Gilmour is a reliable player. Barrett did whatever he liked, without paying much attention to other musicians.

This discussion started about 'Ibiza Bar' using distorted guitar before The Beatles did. Which is not true.

[Ratelzwatel]

@LysergicBliss67 No, Gilmour did not teach "everything" Syd knew. In an interview, Gilmour has said that he only could recognize some bits in Syd's guitar playing. Do some research yourself.

[Ratelzwatel]

@LysergicBliss67 You do not have to research? LOL

[LysergicBliss67]

@Ratelzwatel you fail at trolling

[metal4lifeddie]

@Ratelzwatel bwahahahahahahaha! The Kinks? You know SHIT about metal

[juhumods]

fucking good!!!

[mamanecro]

"are days made since the first page?

i've lived every line that you wrote"

i think is the correct lyrics =D

[HeliumLeo]

noooo, if you looked those up the internet it does say that but on the cd lyrics it says. aged an age since the first page

[BrokenChair88]

Pink Floyd wrote "Dogs".

[GuitarxFighter]

Indeed.
