Fake Floyd Fans

Exactly what Asmo has posted.

 

It's everything put together. For one thing the range of music they did, from the darlings of the underground psychdelic scene with Syd, to their experimental days with More, Ummagumma AHM and Echoes. Then on the rest of Meddle and Obscured by Clouds, more regular rock songs, from the jazzy San Tropez and airy Fearless to the rockers Free Four and The Gold it's in The, then of course Dark Side and on when they became the progressive rock beast of the world. They were great muscians who even in weird songs kept a great sense of melody, and Roger gave them the great lyrics and concepts to propel them to the top. Then of course the stage show, no band has a stage show like Pink Floyd's. Even back in the early days they had the best psychdelic effects, and then it just kept building up until The Wall which was so involved that they couldn't actually do an actual tour because of everything that would've had to be moved every night. And the shows from AMLOR and Pulse, my god. It's not the fact they have a shit load of lights, lasers and props, it's how they use them to actually work with the music.

But I'm going back to my 1st reason, it's the vast amount of different music Pink Floyd has done, no 2 Floyd albums sound alike because no 2 songs on any album really even sound alike, especially pre Animals. Pink Floyd were progressive alot of the times, but alot of times they were just downright simple too.

 

We get name droppers like you at my school all the time.
I see where you're coming from though.
I enjoy going up to people wearing a shirt advertising The Doors and saying,
"Oh dang, a Doors fan..Jimmy Page was amazing on that guitar!"
Just to laugh when they agree.

 

Your point? So what if they did a lot of thing's, I prefer to listen to a number of bands that did one style better than PF. They never combined genre's, just went through different stylistic periods.

 

Bahahaha. I'm a name dropper? I very rarely quote what bands I like, and even if I do, I don't advertise it to the world.

I find it very amusing that this thread is still going on. I wasn't hating on new Floyd fans. It's cool that people truly like their music. However, what I was ranting about was the kids who walk around with DSOTM shirts on just because it's cool, not because they actually like PF. Simple as that.

 

All u got to do to see if someone is a Floyd fan is ask them "Hey so how do u like the album Umma Gumma?" "What? What the hell are u talking about?"

 

Yeah, that should make your day..

 

I'm a bigger fan of fruit stripe, myself...

 

Right on!!!

 

My honest opinion here: there is no way of comparing DSOTM with The Wall...these 2 albums are UNIVERSES apart. Perhaps "Comfortably numb" is the least wimpy song on The Wall........there re NO wimpy songs on DSOTM!

 

There are going to be kids like this with EVERY band that is held in such high reguard.

But you know whose more pathetic than those kids? Kids that take it to heart and post about it on the internet. Let them be idiots.

 

Ow, my ego.

 

Hey guys!
My very first post!

Anyway, Im not sure 'what' kids you are talking about, as i have strived long and hard to find ANYONE with a vaguely retro music taste in my city (london), and have miserably failed.
Nomatter how fake they are, i would be in sheer exctasy if i were to meet 'someone' i could talk to about floyd without getting ripped at.
I'll tell you now, that i LOVE floyd.
I dont know everything about them, i dont have the t-shirt, and dont by any means, love roger waters.
But they did however, change my life 100%.
I dont even know most of the lyrics, if any.
But the sounds alone have had a profound effect on my life and personality.
Maybe I myself am one of these 'fakeys' but it does not make me cool.
Quite the opposite infact, purely becuase of my views and tastes im forced to spend my time sitting in my bedroom resenting society today.

I know all this sounds like BS, But i have endured the toll of being an outcast.

 

I think ive just posted a catalyst for Jacob and Boek to annihalate me.

 

You're all a bunch of fake fans. Real Pink Floyd fans prefer their really early stuff, when Bob Klose was still on guitar.

But on a serious note, this sort of reminds me of the 1970s, when it seemed like everyone loved Pink Floyd, if you asked them, but almost without exception ended their comment with "I really like that song Money." Some things never change!

One final comment... when The Wall came out, it was a terrible disappointment to me. Only after many many listens did it "click" and become a favorite.

 

I know that this might be a surprising question, but has anyone ever listened to Pink Floyd stoned? I just love Nick Mason's guitar solo on that song 'Another Couple of Bricks in the Walls', it was totally awesome. Also, I love that song 'Money', where they use a cash register because it's about George Bush. They're my favorite band ever so I got a prism tattooed on my ankle.

 

hehehe I already played that game a few pages back heywood. People didn't seem to take to it.

By the by, the song is called Just Another Couple Bricks In the Walls, damn fake fans.

 

No, actually it's 'Just Another Couple of Bricks In Those There Walls Right There With The Animals pt. 2', I just checked my vinyl copy signed by Seymour Barrett himself . I actually met him when I went to his home in Miami, and we took acid together. Dude, that cat has such a high tolerance-- he did like seven tabs and it hardly even did anything to him!!!

 

yeah Jennifer really gives that cat more acid than I can explain. Are you sure that's the song title and not "Just Another Couple of Bricks In Those There Walls Right There With The Animals pt. 2 Grooving With A Pict"? Because the copy I have is Blue vinyl and says different.

 

I have the ultra-rare limited collector's gold vinyl super edition with the unreleased bonus tracks of which maybe three or four copies were ever released (the others being destroyed). Of course, that was 1976-- so maybe at that point they hadn't added the part about the pict. Yours must be a later, less valuable edition.
