Syd walked in when they were recording Shine On to announce that it was time for Pink Floyd to reunite. Read Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Oddysey by Nicholas Schaffner, it's really interesting. My attention span's only long enough to zip through a comic book, and I was so hooked I read it in a couple of days.

im saying who ever made this thread had good intentions and it is a nice idea.
but people are acting catty and ruining the fun of it by stewing over stupid details for post after post and no one cares to watch one quarrel between two members unfold. its boring and pointless.
so to sum up, good thread idea, bad thread in the end.
like is said on another one about how people on this board used to be nice. but now it turns into a war of words. it didnt use to be like that. someone could come on here and call the song money "dollar and cents" in a thread they started, and someone would correct them, move on, and answer thier question. now that isnt the case. someone would freak out on them. and they would retort with something about how they made a typo and that everyone should jump up their a$$.

2 whose is that song?
3why is it there?
- Wourm - 03-18-2004 05:05 PM
i dont know the name but the singer is Vera Lynn "i think i spelled the last name right" and i dont know exactly why its there but i have to take a stab at it, because of the song "Vera" and i think waters lost his dad in WWII and she sang to the troops, thats my stab so im probably wrong but meh oh well
- Kimbers Sheep - 03-18-2004 09:30 PM
TheDark&CrazyPiperDiamond, correct, Paintbox
- TheDark&CrazyPiperDiamond - 03-19-2004 08:39 AM
the song is 'we'll meet again' of vera lynn.
you can hear 'we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but i know we'll meet again some sunny day'.
this song was sung by lot of soldiers during the second WW, because they hoped to return home alive.

Why do some kids sing "Ring a Ring a Roses" during Take It Back (I know the song its meaning, i just wondered why that's in there"
- TheDark&CrazyPiperDiamond - 03-19-2004 08:58 AM
Take it back speaks about nature: if man abuses of it, nature can have its revenge.
ring-a-ring-a-roses is said to be referred to an europe plague in 1600...nature had had its revenge.....!!

Planets singing face to face
Bound to the air of life, how sweet!
If purposely we might embrace
The perfect union deep in space
Ever might this once relent
And give us leave to shine as one
Our two lights singing better
Than one light can
And in that longing to be one
The parting suns shine as one

Correction, what a good song. No your right, it's a mental song. Yeah I'm not in this forum all that much. I don't know a whole lot about Pink Floyd. I thought I did before I joined this site. I bet you guys know more about Pink Floyd then they know about themselves.
Wowser: Oh my God! I can't believe I'm actually talking to David Gilmore!

In the early 1960's there was a small serial killing spree in the area of London near the river Thames. After three or four
murders, a suspect was caught. That suspect's name was Eugene Craft. He was tried and found guilty. Hence, "Careful" might be a reference to that incident.

It was just a bluesy piece they played in hopes of calming down the crowd while the roadies took all the gear offstage.
Also apparently Nick Mason at the end was left humorously playing just a snare drum

Well said, whatever he may have posted.
And the answer to your question is it was part of the early shows when people were coming in. Can't remember exactly why it was called dawn, i think it was supposed to fit in with daybreak, but I know tape bubbles was accompanied by piano and bubbles pouring into the lobby.
- Kimbers Sheep - 10-26-2004 10:15 PM

I'm guessing
Vegetable Man/Scream Thy Last Scream
- Steve Hill - 10-28-2004 11:07 AM

- Kimbers Sheep - 10-29-2004 06:47 PM
you guys have all the right songs , now what were the two to be released, remember back then a single was a 45, with A side and B side...so two songs...
- Steve Hill - 10-31-2004 11:13 AM
Assuming you mean what was planned by the record company for release rather than recorded and immediately dismissed, was it Jugband Blues and Millionaire?

Kimbers Sheep Wrote:you guys have all the right songs , now what were the two to be released, remember back then a single was a 45, with A side and B side...so two songs...I do know what 45 refers to, 45's are 7" singles and obviously have both an A and B side to them. I was stating random songs hoping you would just except it as an answer rather than a more specific answer.
- Kimbers Sheep - 10-31-2004 12:28 PM
now Steve..of course I want the exact two songs, and sorry if I offended you, wasn't my intent, most poeple here probably don't remember 45's at all, so I was simply stating fact that there were two songs, A & B

- Kimbers Sheep - 11-03-2004 08:07 PM
half right
- Steve Hill - 11-04-2004 12:38 PM
Right, since my orignal guess of Jugband Blues and Millionaire was close and this one of Vegetable Man/Scream Thy Last Scream was half right, I will attempt Jugband Blues/Scream Thy Last Scream this time.
- Kimbers Sheep - 11-05-2004 11:06 AM
hehehehe, also half right

- Steve Hill - 11-25-2004 01:52 PM
Well the first floyd album to be released in the format was Atom Heat Mother, but it was around before then and was used by the band too, I say 1968 as a guess.
- Kimbers Sheep - 11-26-2004 07:06 PM

- Steve Hill - 11-28-2004 09:06 AM
Okay so I cheated a bit, google took all of 5 seconds to give me the answer though. Wikipedia states it was:
# May 12 1967 - Pink Floyd stages the first ever rock concert with quadraphonic sound at Queen Elizabeth Hall, England
So I assume this is correct my good sir.
- Kimbers Sheep - 11-28-2004 07:24 PM
hehehehe, correct for extra credit...what was the song list....lol...for everyone else....what was the song Hollywood recorded for?
- Steve Hill - 12-01-2004 12:08 PM
Okay, so I cheated again, it was:
1) Tape Dawn
2) Matilda Mother
3) Flaming
4) Scarecrow
5) Jugband Blues
6) Games for May
7) Bike
8) Arnold Layne
9) Candy And a Currant Bun
10) Pow R Toc H
11) Interstellar Overdrive
12) Tape Bubbles
13) Tape Ending
14) Encore: Lucifer Sam
I'll leave the other question for now in hope that someone else enters what is fast becoming the Steve and Kimbers show.

Here's a question: what is the only song in the Roger Waters era accredited to just David Gilmour and Rick Wright?
- Steve Hill - 12-07-2004 01:49 AM
Mudmen from Obscured By Clouds. Unless of course you have a different definition of the waters era, lots of gilmour, wright, even one gilmour/wright/mason credit, but can't recall any other with just rick and Dave.
- Steve Hill - 12-07-2004 01:50 AM
Here's one now we have some more willing to participate:
What was the last studio recording to feature Mason vocals?
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-07-2004 07:43 AM
It wouldn't be "One of These Days," would it? That's the only one I can think of where he sang...
- Steve Hill - 12-07-2004 10:11 AM
Could well be, but I am thinking of a later track where he appeared, whether it could be classed as vocals though is up for debate I guess. I say yes as it was something worked into the track.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-08-2004 09:17 AM
I give up...what are you thinking of?
- Steve Hill - 12-08-2004 11:03 AM

How's this: What is (are) the only track(s) from The Dark Side of the Moon that have never been performed by either Waters or Gilmour during their solo tours?
- Steve Hill - 12-08-2004 03:40 PM
Well, they have all been performed by Dave Floyd, but just going by my gut instinct for the solo tours, I have to say Speak To Me, On The Run and Great Gig In The Sky.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-08-2004 04:25 PM
Dave Floyd...I like that.

- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-09-2004 07:09 AM
I was going to say "Interstellar Overdrive," but then I had a gut feeling that it just might be...

Music from the body was actually as good as I was expecting it to be, not great but considering how it could have been, I was pleasantly surprised.
Answer to your question, even though I don't live in the US and don't have a clue to the real answer, I guess David Gilmour and the show was The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Unless it was more recent and then it could have been Nick, but take my first answer only please.

What is the only Floyd album to reach #1 on both sides of the Atlantic? (US and UK, just to avoid confusion.)

#1 is wrong for a start, there are about 40 albums above The Wall in worldwide sales according to RIAA, when you consider each sale as singular and not each disc, (only now counts as double album eligible for each disc when over 100 minutes I believe). But if you are only considering US sales and want to count each disc seperately as was done previously, it's Eagles' Greatest Hits and Michael Jackson's Thriller. Those figures are also out of date though and I did post the top 100 list a few months back.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-12-2004 02:00 PM
It is not Atom Heart Mother. That only got to #55 in the US.
- Steve Hill - 12-12-2004 02:01 PM
Just to clear it up as well, The Wall has sold about 21 million copies, (using single album rather than disc figures), worldwide to date and DSOTM has sold over 35 million.

I can never remember this exactly, but since Kubrick wanted to use Atom Heart Mother in the film, I guess it was that.

Once the answer has been posted here though, I guarantee you I will be able to remember it then, it's always the way with me, I learn from mistakes.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-19-2004 07:58 AM
Yeah, it was Atom Heart Mother, seen in the record store in the film "A Clockwork Orange" (which was indeed the one in which he wanted to use the album).
As a side note, you can also see Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush," the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour," and Kubrick's soundtrack to "2001: A Space Odyssey." It was a real record store and those albums just happened to be on display, although Kubrick seemed to make sure that we all saw "2001" displayed prominently...

All right so far, but you're forgetting a couple...
- Steve Hill - 12-19-2004 03:02 PM
Like what, I really can't think of any more except maybe my copy of "Pink Floyd and Friends - Interstellar Overdrive" and the such.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-19-2004 03:06 PM
There's "The Early Singles" and "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd."
- Steve Hill - 12-19-2004 03:15 PM
But that's only their life masks on Echoes and Early singles wasn't a major release, so I ignored both of them, (even if I did forget about early singles).
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-19-2004 03:16 PM
Not true...on Echoes there is a picture of them on the left side, and in the background (third room back), Piper hangs on the wall.
- Steve Hill - 12-19-2004 03:22 PM
Sneaky, saying that reminded me of the picture you talk about, it was the aviator one that is in saucerful cd booklet and inside a nice pair. Looking at the cover, (got up just after the last sentence to check the cover), I now also see the life masks are on the other side anyway. :(
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-19-2004 05:49 PM
This question will require a knowledge of Pink Floyd that borders on esoterica:
Which two people delivered the lines "There is no dark side of the moon really...matter of fact it's all dark" and "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time," respectively, on Dark Side of the Moon, and who were they (i.e., what did they do)?
- Steph - 12-19-2004 06:18 PM
Thats easy.......Irish doorman Gerry from Abbey Road Studios and guitar player Henry McCullough of Wings....
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-19-2004 07:05 PM
Huh...okay, not as difficult as I thought...I could always go back to the movie links, but you wouldn't want THAT, would you?
Well, I'll let someone else ask a question now while I bask in the triumph of my DSOTM query...
Edited By carefulwiththataxeEugene on 1103512061
- Kimbers Sheep - 12-20-2004 12:35 AM
OK, some good ones...I'll throw one out...what is The Elfin Oak?
- Steph - 12-20-2004 09:14 AM
Don't know that one....
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-20-2004 10:06 AM
I think it was Ivor Innes who carved it, making an oak tree look as though gnomes, elves, etc. lived in it. It's in Kensington Gardens, right?
- Kimbers Sheep - 12-20-2004 11:03 AM
All of that is true, but let me rephrase...what is it (answered) and what is it's relation to Floyd?
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-20-2004 11:29 AM
Dave is posing in front of it on the inside cover of Ummagumma.
- Steve Hill - 12-20-2004 01:53 PM
I think the man is right too.
By the way, the DSOTM question was quite easy for most regulars here as there have been so many topics based on the speaking in the background that we pretty much know all that needs to be known.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-20-2004 01:57 PM
Okay, point taken, no more "Dark Side" questions; or if I do, I won't give it a build-up like I did the last one...
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-20-2004 09:24 PM
Okay, I got one:
Which Pink Floyd song has the most words in its lyrics?
- Steph - 12-21-2004 06:35 PM
Dogs....
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-21-2004 09:45 PM
Sorry, no. Had I not asked the question and thus known the answer, however, I would have guessed that at some point.

woowoo, I finally know the answer to a question Eugene asked.....but I'll wait....anyone?
- InTheFlesh2 - 12-22-2004 06:43 AM
Not Now John
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-22-2004 07:16 AM
You are correct; last I checked it contained in the vicinity of 459 words.
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 08:00 AM
That largely depends on what constitutes a word too.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-23-2004 08:04 AM
Steve Hill Wrote:That largely depends on what constitutes a word too.Well, I didn't have the time nor the inclination to count them (and every other Floyd song) myself; for this question I took MOJO magazine's word for it that Not Now John was the answer.
- Steph - 12-23-2004 09:23 AM
I didn't know we were imcluding Roger's solo works......
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 09:30 AM
Not Now John was on The Final Cut and although many consider it a Roger solo album, it definately says Pink Floyd on the cover. Also, since Not Now John is largely sung by David, it can hardly be considered a Roger solo.
Edit: Doing a copy and paste job in word, it looks like closer to 294 words, Dogs on the other hand is almost 400. So I am a little confused. ???

- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 10:01 AM
Hey Eugene, (this is Henry McLean), I am not doubting what you said, all I am saying is I copiued and pasted each of the songs lyrics into word and selected word count and it came up with 294 and 390-something respectively. I am confused with what was printed in Mojo, and even worse is I think they got their information from the Pink Floyd encylopedia. I am just wondering if I am looking at the wrong information.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-23-2004 10:32 AM
I know you're not doubting anything, I myself was puzzled that they said what they said...when I wrote into MOJO's Floyd contest my guess was Dogs. The "so there" bit was a joke, not a pissed-off rebuke; you'd have to do far worse than that to get my dander up. I guess this is an unresolvable issue.
So here's another question; I'm feeling lazy so it's another chart one: Following Dark Side of the Moon, what is the lowest chart position of a non-live and non-compilation Floyd album in the US? In the UK?
Edited By carefulwiththataxeEugene on 1103827331
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 12:09 PM
I know it wasn't a rebuke, just saying my disgust that if I can find the number of words in 3 seconds and it is a different answer to that in Mojo, there must be something wrong somewhere, puzzled as to what they were going on though. I'm just saying don't take Q or Mojo as bible, they are very often wrong, (according to them, dsotm has sold less than the 20 million sales of the wall).
In answer to your question though, and assuming you mean studio album post darkside AND the album with the lowest highest position, it was final cut, (6), in us and wall/momentary lapse, (3) in uk.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-23-2004 12:14 PM
Very true. I'll try to get at least two sources next time.
As far as the current question goes, those were the criteria I was thinking of, and you are correct.
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 12:16 PM
Here's a quickie, how many concerts were performed by the five man floyd?
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-23-2004 12:21 PM
I think there were just five, in January of 1968.
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 12:54 PM
Ironically enough, yes. Although the band members are unsure how many they played with syd and dave, (Dave is on record as saying he thinks they played four and the fifth was when they left him), there seems to be enough sources to confirm five performances.
- Kimbers Sheep - 12-23-2004 01:24 PM
OK, I haven't asked one lately, so...what is anoither name for "The Pink Jungle"?
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 01:26 PM
Bugger, I forgot that exactly. Was it a section of Interstellar Overdrive used in the Man and the Journey?
I'm going to check and if it isn't, i'm not posting the real answer.
- Kimbers Sheep - 12-23-2004 01:26 PM
no...but close.....
- Steve Hill - 12-23-2004 01:31 PM
I see now, that part I was thinking of was The Labyrinth Of Auximenes, but The Pink Jungle's source is close to that track. :)

It is the bell that is rung in both the British and Australian parliaments to signify voting is taking place and the seperating, (or dividing), into the aye's to the right and the no's to the left.

I don't answer when I'm sure....so obviously I'm not sure, lol, but wasn't it Jeff Beck?
- Steve Hill - 12-25-2004 03:02 AM
I think I'd read something along those lines a while back, (when I first really starting to read and learn about the band, so I guess it must have been about March/April time). I do recall seeing Beck's name in something I was reading about the band anyway, but since he was in the yardbirds by then, I think it was along shot anyway.
Edited By Steve Hill on 1103972655
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 12-25-2004 07:10 AM
It was Jeff Beck...but the band were too in awe of him to bother asking.

- Steve Hill - 12-26-2004 01:02 PM
Did it have something to do with a Looney Tunes cartoon?

hehehehehe, no
- Steve Hill - 12-26-2004 01:46 PM
Oh, oh, oh, me joko. Seriously, it was proposed for The Wall, similar to the Overture for Tommy, but was either not recorded or not used, though I would say the lack of it surfacing on any bootlegs suggests the former.
- Kimbers Sheep - 12-26-2004 01:49 PM
correct, and I agree, surely it would have showed up somewhere by now if it was recorded

- Steve Hill - 01-03-2005 11:04 AM
Okay, switch it to the cover, the package or indeed any differences between the two. I know of at least three, but I think there are more than that. I only switched it as I thought the booklet as a whole would be easier than just the cover.
I'll answer later if nobody answers this time.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 01-03-2005 11:44 AM
Well, the UK version has those lights between the mouths of the heads, and appears to be later in the day.
- Steve Hill - 01-03-2005 11:57 AM
That's enough, but there are actually many more. I was also thinking of the cloud formation, (though this is linked to time of day), the sine waves on the back and I believe some of the colours are different inside, (mainly text).
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-03-2005 11:34 PM
OK, What is song is heard in a party scene in More, but not included on the soundtrack release?
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 01-04-2005 08:22 AM
God...either Hollywood or Seabirds...I remember both being in the movie, but I can't remember which was where...
- Steve Hill - 01-04-2005 10:48 AM
Seabirds was in the movie, (that i do know), but I think Hollywood was never used, but sure if it was recorded. By that I say Seabirds.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-04-2005 11:15 AM
Seabirds is what I was thinking of, congrats to both :)
- Steve Hill - 01-04-2005 11:55 AM
I don't remember Hollywood being in the movie, well reading it was in the movie or hearing it on one of my roio's which has all movies takes that are different form the album and the non-album songs, but I may be wrong. I'll check, but if I fail to find out, can you confirm whether it was indeed in the movie?
Thanks kimbers.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-04-2005 11:01 PM
If memory serves me correct it was in the movie but to be honest it's been so long since I've seen it I am not 100% it is...so...What is/was Double-O Bo?
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 01-06-2005 09:49 AM
It was a tribute song to Bo Diddley (sp?) by Syd way back in 1965 (I think Bob Klose was still in the band at the time...?). By the title, it sounds like it has a bit of a nod to James Bond, too...am I right?
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-06-2005 10:39 PM
correct on both counts!

That is the correct answer, mine was a conservative minister who had an affair with his secretary and a love child and subsequently resigned. He did return to frontline politics, but was for so long the butt of jokes about being oversexed and even sleeping with Thatcher, (not true but funny), as he summed up everything sleazy about the Thatcher government, (twice proposed to his pregnent lover, but changed his mind to save his marriage and career until it was revealed he was the father, this at a time the party was promoting tradtional family values).

Well it was a David Gilmour solo project, but not sure if he had written it for David Gilmour and not used it or had it penned ready for his next album, About Face. Since that was about 6 years after the recording sessions for the wall started, I will say the album was David Gilmour.

I can learn a lot in a short space of time. After all you can find a lot of useless information on things like this when you are looking for something else. I am currently in ownership of about 40 roio's, almost all the albums on cd, (all if you want to count vinyl too), and am looking at the japanese mini sleeve versions too now. I also learnt a lot from skimming through most of Storm's book Mind Over Matter at various points.

- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 01-11-2005 07:14 AM
Thanks for your confidence, SH. I can be just as cocky as you...turns out I had made a most complete list before I posted that question, and was ready to supply any and all that people missed. The only one from that list I didn't have was the cat mentioned in "Candy and a Current Bun" simply because I've never heard the song. Okay, I guess two now that I look at it because I neglected to include the coral in "Echoes."
So there.

I was just going by the previous questions you have asked that you didn't have complete answers for, but also because if I asked that question, I wouldn't have thought of half of those. that's why I would never ask a question as complex as that with out being fully confident I knew the answer.
Hope I didn't rub you up the wrong way too much.
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 01-11-2005 09:17 AM
Not so much that you rubbed me the wrong way, it just seemed a rather crass thing to have said. And I don't have the inclination to go checking, but I am pretty sure that for most of the questions I have asked, I have known the answers.

- Steve Hill - 01-12-2005 12:35 PM
Close enough, he didn't actually get the reward directly, he said he would give them a name if Dave made a sizable donation to the charity that organised the dinner they had the conversation at. Not exactly sure of the charity or size or donation though. :(

- Steve Hill - 01-16-2005 03:42 AM
Good, because I always looked upon that one as a bit of a sarcastic song aimed at Roger.
Wil stab time, Marooned, (since Roger effectively was from the rest of the band at the time). Honestly, this one has got me stumped.

OK, rumour has it that the six minutes of guitar, synths and keyboards in Cluster One was an attempt to recreate, albeit sounding different, the feel of Shine ON....and be a salute not to Syd but to Roger...

all good answers, and as I said...my answer is rumour...so who knows..., lol, anyhow, what was probably the first song Syd wrote for PF?
- TheDark&CrazyPiperDiamond - 01-18-2005 04:51 AM
'Lucy Leave'...?
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-18-2005 11:20 PM
good answer, but tecnically the band was not known as Pink Floyd when Syd wrote Lucy in late 65.... so I guess I asked a trick question unintentionally....but we'll forgive me for now, lol, any other guesses or anyone know?
- TheDark&CrazyPiperDiamond - 01-19-2005 01:08 AM
Then it's Arnold Layne
- Echo - 01-19-2005 02:48 AM
Is it "Games For May"? ( aka "See Emily Play" )
Also, wasn't the name changed to "Pink Floyd" in early 1965? It is according to the recent Mojo Pink Floyd special.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-19-2005 11:10 PM
well, there is some discussion as to when the named was changed, Bob Klose and Chris Dennis quit in Jan 65, and most people believe the first show played by a band named Pink Floyd was Dec 1965...the song I am looking for was recorded in early 1966 and I guess I should have done more research before i said "what was the first..." but anyhow, any more guesses?
- parisonj - 01-20-2005 05:46 AM
They became the Pink Floyd Sound sometime between Spring and Summer of 65. Certainly, they were by November when they played with Jokers Wild at Storms engagement party.
Given that, the first session I know of was on 31st October 66, at the Thompson Recording Co., Hemel Hempstead. They did Interstellar, Let's Roll Again, Silas Lane (alleged to eventually become Arnold Layne), and Stoned Alone.
I think...
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-20-2005 08:35 PM

Well out of that lot, I think it was Interstellar Overdrive, their concert mainstay of the time.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-25-2005 11:34 PM
second guess?
- Steve Hill - 01-27-2005 02:29 AM
Silas Lane, looking at the back of my Relics LP, it says Arnold Layne was recorded on 27th February 1967, Interstellar Overdrive on 16th March. So hopefully the earlier version of Silas lane was recorded a few months before.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-27-2005 10:52 PM
third guess.....remember, Oct 31, 1966 was the recording date for the tune...and there is some debate over whether or not Silas Lane was recorded that early...it was according to some sources first recorded in May 68 as according to Syd, a "new song" labeled Silace Lang...but who really knows...so much is lost in history
- Steve Hill - 01-28-2005 02:50 PM
So you are saying that this is not guaranteed to be 100% correct. Oh well, I will got with my second reaction and say Stoned Alone. Damn logical brain told me to think first and I changed my mind to Silas Lane.
- Kimbers Sheep - 01-28-2005 09:31 PM
100%....to be honest, no...but many people believe that Stoned Alone was the first song wrote for PF.....OK, next, name three of the medals pictured on The Final Cut

Bob Ezrin, not sure why though.
Edited By Steve Hill on 1107704258

That's right.....the reason being that Roger felt that Ezrin betrayed him.... he felt that Ezrin had committed to helping Roger with his solo project ( which became ATD ) but later went to work with Gilmour and his wife in the making of the Division Bell....Ezrin has admitted to this saying that his wife wouldn't let him spend the time in England needed to fulfill his comittment....Roger was pissed because Ezrin new of this long before and he didn't bother to tell him about it....Roger found out second hand and actually had to ask Ezrin if this was true....which of course it was... :hammers:Roger also feels that Gilmour needed him more than he did and that Ezrin basically sold himself to the highest bidder......

How many people care about the album...nobody cared about... :D
Alright I'll give it a shot...
"Before Obscured by Clouds broke the US top 50, what was the highest charted Floyd album in the US"?
As far as I know that would be "Atom Heart Mother" (U.S. release 10/10/70, reaching #55 in the U.S)
..."Also, what was the highest position of the worst charting Floyd album in the US"?
"More" at #153...""Relics" at #152, but I don't know about "Saucerful..." or "Zabriskie Point"....so I guess "Relics"??!! but who's gonna remember any of this??!! :upside:
- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 02-08-2005 10:46 AM
I'll give you that I have time on my hands (else why would I be a member here?), but this is hardly proof, as a cursory glance at the album pages at a good Floyd website will give you this info.
Anyway, you're right on both counts...it's AHM at #55 and More at #153. Since Zabriskie Point is not all Floyd I don't count it, and A Saucerful of Secrets failed to chart in the US so that doesn't count either.

Country Song
He made his way to the border
In the shadow under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head feel the breeze
And the red Queen was waiting for the news
For the white King to move
And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover secret tight
They let him in by a backway
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly and started to read
Run to the treasury and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
He says the white King thinks the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded her
and this is what she told the gathered round
Go to the store by the dungeon
Take all the red paint take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbor we'll be all right
There will be no game today, she cried across the board
Everyday will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
and smiled at the cat who smiled back

It's really a bit of all of those. Syd did shave all his hair off and his eyebrows, (not sure when, could have been a party), and it was a shaven, fat Syd who turned up to the Shine on sessions.
It was seen as party a new beginning, maybe a break away from the pop image he had gained, but it was his mental state that made him do it.

- carefulwiththataxeEugene - 03-27-2005 01:01 PM
He played for the backing band on a charity single in 1991 (the name of the song escapes me).
- Steve Hill - 03-27-2005 01:24 PM
Correct
The song was "The Stonk" and it was performed by British comedy duo, Hale and Pace. I have just got a low quality copy of the video to that track and am watching it now. :)

A question to satisfy my own curiosity, (and at the same time give a clue), are you talking about the item he used to run up and down the frets?

Depends on which recording you listen to, (the clearest two to decipher the lyrics from are the 5th and 20th June 1971). The earlier of the two is sitting, (some suggest singing, but it is more widely considered to be sitting), but since the song was constantly undergoing change, switching from one set of lyrics to another, and occasionally even switching some back, was not uncommon.

I'll repeat my last question since nobody ever answered it correctly: When was the first time David Gilmour played the slide guitar solo for Breathe live?

Edit: I'll rephrase the question, since I can't remember the exact wording of where I read it.
When was the first time David Gilmour played the slide guitar solo for Breathe on a pedal steel guitar live?

of the whole Live at Pompeii set, how many of the songs were actually filmed in Pompeii and why couldn't they film all of them there?

The problem is, and I'm sure not everything was covered, but if you read over 85 pages worth, an awful lot of trivia has already been answered.

Honestly I haven't read 85 pages and I obviously don't know what this thread's about nor how it works
EDIT: I got it now and I don't know the answer to pic3789's question so I guess I'll wait for someone to ask a nice queestion I can answer

I like the post which deals with questioning of the specific question regarding pink floyd.My answer is :-Starting in 1964, the band that would become Pink Floyd underwent various line-up and name changes such as "The Abdabs", "The Screaming Abdabs", "Sigma 6" and "The Meggadeaths" (not to be confused with Megadeth). In 1965, Barrett joined them as "The Tea Set", and when they found themselves playing a concert with a band of the same name, Barrett created the name "The Pink Floyd Sound" (later "The Pink Floyd"). He derived the name "Pink Floyd" juxtaposing the first names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council he had read about in a sleeve note by Paul Oliver for a 1962 Blind Boy Fuller LP (Philips BBL-7512): "Curley Weaver and Fred McMullen, Pink Anderson or Floyd Council -- these were a few amongst the many blues singers that were to be heard in the rolling hills of the Piedmont, or meandering with the streams through the wooded valleys."

I thought I'd bump this thread up, because it might be fun. So to inaugurate this new era, I have a trivia question for you.
We all know that the first album post-Waters was named A Momentary Lapse of Reason, after a line in the song "One Slip". However that wasn't the band's first choice. What were the other three possible album titles?

*bump*
If no one gets this in 24 hours, I'll post the answer and then someone else can ask a question.
RE: the trivia corner - test your know about of Pink floyd - Lady Floydian - 06-03-2010 07:59 AM
.....alrighty, then.
The answers are "Signs of Life", "Of Promises Broken" and "Delusions of Maturity."
Someone else can ask a question now.
