Rogers, Syd and Pink Floyd


As per the song Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Syd is referred as the Sun(Remember when you're young, you shone like the Sun)
And as per the song Jugband Blues, the Moon refers to the band Pink Floyd(And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I never knew the moon could be so big)
So the song clearly explains Syd is gonna be Eclipsed by Pink Floyd(the Moon)even though everything under Syd(the Sun) is in tune.

GREATEST PINK FLOYD SONG OF ALL TIME






There are many Pink Floyd fans in this world. And we know more there are fans, more there are opinion on which is the best song of Pink Floyd. There are many melodious songs like High Hopes, Wish you were Here etc. and some may prefer the most classic progressive such as Shine on you Crazy diamond, and Echoes. Jazzy Pigs on the wings provide different taste and who will forget the emotional “ The Gunners Dream.
But among all these for me “Comfortably numb” stands out as it is my favourite classic of Pink Floyd.


·        Comfortably Numb can be divided into two parts a light part where Gilmour sings and dark part where Rogers sing “ Is there anybody out there”

 

·        This was the last song Rogers and Waters wrote together


·        Gilmour's second guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb" regularly appears in Best Guitar Solo of All Time polls.Gilmour told Guitar World that the solo didn't take long to develop: "I just went out into the studio and banged out 5 or 6 solos. From there I just followed my usual procedure, which is to listen back to each solo and mark out bar lines, saying which bits are good. In other words, I make a chart, putting ticks and crosses on different bars as I count through: two ticks if it's really good, one tick if it's good and cross if it's no go.



That is why Comfortably Numb is the best for me. Comment your favourite Pink Floyd song below.

CONFLICT BETWEEN DAVID GILMOUR AND ROGERS WATERS



“The Final Cut “was the final album of the Pink Floyd with Rogers Waters. Later in early 1980’s Waters sued the band for using the name Pink Floyd but settled out of court.

The conflict between them started when their egos began to collide and when the opinions started to differ. When Gilmour appointed “Wright for Momentary Lapse of Reason” Roger exclaimed the album as forgery despite the album being ranked no 3 in UK charts. Gilmour later did admit he missed Rogers’s creative part in the album.

The band eventually disbanded after The Division Bell tour. Waters reunited with Gilmour, Mason and Wright for the Live 8 charity concert in 2005 and Gilmour did make a surprise appearance at Waters’ live concerts at the O2 Arena in London. 

It’s safe to say many Pink Floyd fans still believe if the band was united, there would have been many more amazing legendary songs from most amazing band ever on earth.
