Is there any Pink floyd Jethro tull or roger waters fans. I can tell you Im a fan of em all

Hi Sabastian,

Both outstanding bands, I've been a fan since they first appeared on stage.

Magical music, what more can I say - Shine On.........

Cheers

Al

Indeed there are fans. Never got to see the Floyd, but have seen Tull in concert many times, and IA in concert solo and with Fairport Convention.

Do you have favourite tracks by either - just being nosey.

V sad to hear of Syd's death - but his legacy will be with us for ever.

Andy

It is sad to hear of syd's death .
with J Tull or Floyd I dont have one favourite there all fav's

Saw this band in the winter of 1972. Then they pretty much faded from obscurity on this side of the pond. Would have been with my soon to be fiancee and now wife.
Time flies when you're having fun.

Fairport are still going strong, al be it with a slightly revised line up - and they are still worth listening to.

Check out Fairports Web Site they do still sometimes visit the States

Big Pink Floyd fan...
Favorite line
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces."

It's so out of the blue.

I have the brick in the wall limited edition skate deck. it's on my bedroom wall. I just need to get the Misfits and AC/DC skate decks along with a pair of the Misfits skate shoes

Big fan of both bands. I never had the chance to see Pink Floyd, but did see Jethro Tull in the fall of 1971, and they were terriffic.

The band I'm in now does classic rock covers and one of our favorites is "Locomotive Breath". Heresy, I know, but we've replaced Ian Anderson's outstanding flute solo with a rippin' guitar lead.

Tom

All of the above

Pink Floyd RULES!!! (When Roger Waters was still in the group that is)

SEEN THEM ALL ,WAS AT THE ISE OF WHYTE?IN,70. I THINK, TOO MUCH OF THE GOOD STUFF, STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER.

I too am a big fan of both bands...Pink's LP The Final Cut is great to model WW2 by. Saw Tull in early 72 or late 71 ...it was the Thick as a Brick tour. Was at side of stage taking pictures when this guy in a wetsuit tapped me on the shoulder and asked if i could retrieve his breather and help bring it forward...i asked "what are you going to do?" and he said " i have to get the telephone" Just then onstage, in the middle of a song , the phone rang (it was sitting on top of the piano, the third ring and this guy walks onstage and answers it. holding it up towards Anderson and sez..."It's your Fish!" Just then the band breaks into Aqualung. Man...what a moment and what a show.

Rock On,
KGlack

An anti-war album is great to build models by????

Yes it's a great LP for modeling...most all rock LP's that mention war ARE anti-war.

Name ONE that's pro war.

Rock...as in rock n roll...and not some country/redneck american flag waving to make a buck song.

Okay...there was that song titled "Cruise" on David Gilmour's solo LP. A love song to the cruise missle. I'll give you that one.

Every punk album ever recorded.

Greetings all,

Hmmmm, try some Little Feet or maybe some of the 'Boss' - music is about making a personal statment about how that individaual feels, at least most good and outstanding music is. It doesn't matter what genre the music is in: Jazz, Country and Western, Classical, Rock, Punk; what matters is how good the song is and what it means to you. Pop music if fine, if that rocks yoou boat - there are some great Pop songs.

I'm an old foggie by to days standards, but Hendrix, the Beatles and all the thousands of others both old and new still have meaning for me, it's what suits you mood and the moment of time.

No point in arguing about it - just enjoy it and 'rock on'. Music can open your mind, or close it. That decision is yours.

Just 'Climbing a Stairway to Heaven".......

Cheers

From a musical standpoint, a lot of Syd Barret's stuff was absolutely amazing, and he is well recognized for it in the music community. His influence on the band certainly continued long after his departure.

For the pop fans who just want to fast-foward to Money or Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2, we don't really give a crap. Those are the people The Wall was about.

PS

Roger and David were never a team. Most of the time they barely spoke to each other.

The Pro's and Cons of Hitchiking I thought was brilliant and is still an album I prefer to most Floyd records. I think it is hugely misunderstood though - too difficult for most to wrap their brain around. I once saw it in a magazine list of the 10 worst rock records of all time. The reviewer complained that Eric Clapton could barely be heard on the record when in fact some of the best guitar work the man has EVER done is all over that record. Sheesh.

Radio KAOS suffered from a really horrendous producer who tried to turn it into a pop record. Even Roger wasn't thrilled with the results but it's still better than anything Gilmour has done on his own.

Amused to Death is however, easily as good or better than ANYTHING Floyd ever did.

The post-Roger Floyd records have all been total and complete unlistenable garbage. A Momentary Lapse of Reason I picked up when it came out - my last purchase on vinyl (anyone remember that stuff). I listened to it once, put it back in its sleeve and gave it away to someone. Total crap. A record done by committee to sound sorta-like what some coke-snorting executive thought a Floyd record was supposed to sound like. Roger was kind when he called it a clever forgery. It's not even really a Floyd record. Gilmour is the only member to do any significant amount of playing on it and only contributed some of the writing. The rest was all session players and hired guns.

Sometimes I think its too bad that David has no interest in reforming Floyd with or without Roger (who apparently and surprisingly is interested), but then again, who knows what such a project would turn out like after 25 years apart.

"When I hold you...in my arms, and I put my finger on your trigger, I know I can do no harm...because...Happiness is a warm gun"

thanks Alan...yer right...The Beatles

Rats! A couple of weeks ago I just missed out on a bran' new DVD copy of Pink Floyd 'PULSE' - NZ rock radio station 'Radio Hauraki' wanted caller number 35...I was No 33.

Talk of Jethro Tull has me Living in the Past; Aqualung, War Child, Stand Up...

Pink Floyd "Animals", Tull's "Songs from the wood" and Roger Waters "Radio Kaos" are three of my favorite alb....uh....CDs..see I was going to say album...thus giving away my true age...no super secret squirrel agent ever gives away his age. "oh..behave baby!"
Sincerely,
