- In the final installment of the WHY PINK FLOYD? promo campaign, David Gilmour talks about THE WALL with Paul Rappaport, who visited David's houseboat/recording studio, Astoria, for the conversation. Gilmour explains and plays a little of the guitar the solo in "Another Brick In The Wall."
On February 28, EMI will release 'Immersion' and 'Experience' editions of Roger Waters' opus, Pink Floyd 'The Wall,' as the final installment of the recent 'Why Pink Floyd?' reissues and extended releases. 'The Wall' remains Pink Floyd's biggest-selling release after 1973's legendary 'The Dark Side Of The Moon.'
'The Wall' 'Immersion' 7-disc edition includes a DVD featuring a film clip from the 1980 tour and a 'Behind The Wall' documentary, plus, for the first time, CDs of excerpts from Roger Waters' original demos and work-in-progress versions of songs on the final album. Additionally, among these previously unheard versions are David Gilmour's original demos of "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell." The Immersion set also includes The Wall Live, compiled from the 1980-1981 original tour.
Both 'The Wall' Immersion box set and Experience edition include a rare recording of "Another Brick In The Wall Part 1." A highlight for fans, this demo showcases the evolution of the final track. Additionally, "The Doctor" explores the origins of the landmark track "Comfortably Numb," giving further insight into Pink Floyd's early demo recordings.
In 1978, after finishing Pink Floyd's Animals stadium tour, Roger Waters devised the concept for the album 'The Wall.' The album is a partly autobiographical story about a fictional rock star named Pink looking back at his early life and reflecting on the nature of fame and success.
Waters presented his band mates David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason with an extensive demo of songs. Pink Floyd recorded their eleventh album 'The Wall' throughout 1979 in France, New York and Los Angeles, assisted by co-producer, Bob Ezrin and engineer, James Guthrie.
Correction, the interviewer failed to mention that Comfortably Numb has been played 330,000 times in my house alone.
.....x2
i count as well....
+zenarrrow Exactly what I was thinking.
+zenarrrow They need a new census taker. haha
+zenarrrow Lol, said exactly the same thing. I was like "Pfff... I've played it that many times alone".
Perfect!!!!!
it has been played 330,000 times... David's poker face is priceless.
Isn't it officially over 80.000.000 for comfortably numb (RUclips, spotify etc. combined)? (- replays on vinyl or alike)
Most likely he ment that it has, or had, been played 330 000 times on radio.
And just in the states.
he's like, your math sucks! haha
Specifically, this was talking about licensed radio play tracks that they get royalties from.
For those talking about the 330k times, he was talking about licensed radio track plays for which they receive royalties.
Either way it's a low number to pull out and oddly empathize
like that, when the spotify count for that song alone is 186 MILLION.
And the radio plays number are since 1980, where the spotify number is just for the recent 10 or so years.
So I get why David looked so unimpressed when he heard it
@@morten1 330k times is the equivalent of playing it continually for around 4 years. In my opinion that's pretty impressive. You have to remember that streaming numbers and radio plays can't really be compared.
Plus this was probably originally recorded a pretty long time ago.
If you do the math it works out to about 30 times a day. Across the entire USA. I think it's probably played on the radio 30 times an HOUR. I bet it's being played on a radio station somewhere in America RIGHT NOW. That 330k number is absurd. I have no idea what it actually represents.
think its based on scribbles recovered from radio files.
remember when I was six in '85, there were parties in the neighborhood people used to play the entire record!
His solos aren't super fast, technical, or full of tricks, but the raw emotions this man can emit through his instrument is god like. Both dark, and soulful. One of the best in history no doubt.
beautifully put Nomad.
Depends on what "tricks" means. His older psychedelic stuff had some pretty cool but unusual sounds going on.... a feel for sound-scape
I saw them in Sydney back in 1988 for the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. You can't truly appreciate just how good a guitarist Gilmour is until you've seen him play live. Truly amazing.
@@redrockcrf4663 He was probably on LSD and Mandrax at the time.
Some would argue that's it's actually harder to play with soul the way he does compared to just running up and down scales as fast as you can like most "shredders"
David is no shredder or van halen, but hes the master of slow and beautiful. His solos have so much soul.
He plays to make every note count.
Exactly. His solos are actual instrumentals that contribute to the arrangement. You never get ear-fatigue listening to him play, whereas players who are brilliant shredders in their own right can tend to oversaturate your senses after a few songs.
I'm very certain he could shred super fast and impersonate other guitarists If he so wished. But he doesnt wish, he has a lot of class.
Guitar playing is like driving cars, There is no one style that will win every race or performance.
Thank fuck he is no shredder. Shredders are cunts
Gilmour's voice is pretty amazing to listen to. He's like, wizarding my ears.
sorwoggpm Haha 😂 Wizarding my ears.. that is a great comment 😃

He could have been a Jedi Knight on the Council
All the Floyd spoke like this,middle class,uni art types.
Wow, two living legends in the same room; David Gilmour and Lionel Richie.
Say you, say me.
How Funny
Say it together . . .
I'm dead 💀lionel richie
Hello, is there anybody in there? Is it me you're looking for?
I find 333,000 times hard to believe. I believe that album should have a much higher number.
SparkDalmatian Probably just on radio. Otherwise it would mean that only 1 in 1000 people has EVER played the song even once in the United States.
On radio
I've heard it 330,000 times.
nebod bnu tuld Still too low
i heard it 330,000 times yesterday and the day before and the day before that etc
roger when david says no more concept albums
🗿🗿🗿
hahahahahahahaha
🐴
GET HIM UP AGAINST THE WALL!!
thats roger always
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
David’s two solos on “Comfortably Numb” still give me goosebumps.
The second solo is maybe my favorite piece of music ever played.My sister, Laurie, loved it and I played it during her funeral. I wasn't welcome so we left. That was the last time I played it, but I play "Wish you were here," and think of her every time.
He's the best string bender-ever
Mike Hunt But is he the avatar?
Jonah Husak haha
Jonah Husak Drums. Bass. Electronics. Guitar.
My Music Teacher used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace; when the Musician kept balance between Drum Tribes, Bass Kingdom, Electronics Nation, and Guitar Nomads. But that all changed when the Electronics Nation attacked.
Only the Musician mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Auto Tuned Benders, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.
30 years have passed, and the Electronic Nation is nearing victory in the war. Years ago, my father and the men of my Band journeyed to the Bass Kingdom to help fight against the Electronics Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our Band.
Some people believe that the Musician was never reborn into the Guitar Nomads and that the cable is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, the Musician will return to save the world.
+Led Headed Cool story, bro...
+Mike Hunt Hard to say for me, as I would put Gary Moore in that slot too as the best string bender. But Gilmour is fucking great too
"all that stuff". one of the most iconic solos reduced to all that stuff. David you're so modest. love your work
so good haha
Total passion expressed through the guitar. I believe his voice is one of the best in rock history also.
He sings like an angel and plays like a god.
if david got on stage for a live show and just played a few chords and some riffs, then stopped and said "all that stuff" i'd be cool with that
I don't give a dam if you a million air
Wish I could do those rakes...incredible
omg. I laughed out loud at this!
"I have become... You know the rest. Goodnight everyone!"
"All that stuff"!! The man is utterly devoid of any ego or pretension.
The brilliance of comfortably numb is the combo of the sublime music and genius lyrics - Roger Waters lyrics,, let’s not forget his contribution.
I first listened to the Wall when it debuted on KOA out of Denver, CO. I was 18, it was 1979, just after a keg party at college in Boulder, everybody passed out except me. The FM radio was on, it was 2:45 AM. The announcer came on and said, "Here's the new album from Pink Floyd, the Wall." They played it all the way through, and even though I was wasted I sat there and listened to the whole thing.
Little did I know that I'd be listening to it over 1,000 times since then.
Lol comfortably numb has probably been played 400,000 times in my house my daughter who is now 3 almost 4 wont go to sleep without it and i listen to PF all the time ❤❤
the greatest band in fucking history!!!!!!!!
rick4777 I got a bike you can borrow...;)
Does it have a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good?
He'd give it to you if he could but he borrowed it.
rick4777 wruho hat
I disagree! They are the greatest band in the fucking universe!!
Just hearing him play that solo on the original guitar is breath-taking.
330k, it looked like dave was trying not to laugh when he was told that. Why would he make such a stupid comment. It's more like 3 billion times.
I think those numbers reflect times being played over airwaves in radio.... at the time of this interview
it was only in the U.S. as well. yes, he was talking about radio play.
I think it's obvious that he's talking about radio play but that number still seems ridiculous like maybe rather than U.S. it would be L.A. or N.Y.C. & even then it sounds low, so maybe it was Carnduff, North Dakota.
It's as if the interviewer thinks Dave sits at home all day and calculates the royalties. Dave should've rolled his eyes and said, "Really?! According to my figures it's 3 billion times, dick!" But, thankfully, Dave's just not like that!
Paul Rappaport knows David from when Paul was an A&R guy at Columbia Records (David's US label). New England played Numb a lot. Also the live version from Delicate Sound was a rock radio and MTV hit in 1988/89 from Delicate Sound of Thunder.
330k my ass, that song has been played way more than 330k times.
330K on the radio.
Kelly Peck Still too low
More like 330 million times.
Brian Talbot there isn't enough radio stations in the whole fucking world to play the song 330 million times
Brian Talbot even after 40 years
Extraordinary artist. We are blessed to have him on earth.
In my life time i can hoestly day that i have listened to pink floyds songs easily over 100k times. And im just 26.
I love the way he and his band mates speak. Love their accents. I love ALL accents but they speak so clearly with great pronunciation
They are well educated, met and formed the band when the original members were studying.
An absolute genius. He can emote more with one note than a thousand shredders combined.
That Gibson 55 Gold Top has to be one of the most important guitars in Rock History! I'm so used to seeing Dave play a Strat as well, amazing!
Gilmour’s guitar solos play more like cinematic scores than obligatory solo breaks. But let’s not forget that his voice has the same effect. He tends to induce a wired hypnotic high. He should be considered a controlled substance.
I watched a reaction video yesterday where David's soothing voice broke her to tears. She couldn't explain it, only that David's voice was exciting emotions she couldn't comprehend.
I welcomed her to the club!!
The ending Solo on comfortably numb is the best solo in all of rock.
Anyone else wish Gilmour had kept playing that lead part for Brick In The Wall? Heavenly
Hoooooooooolly shit, we just saw the guitar that was used to play the solo in Another brick in the wall!
And The Black Strat being pulled away by the tech at 4:27 is most likely the same guitar used for Comfortably Numb, Time, Shine On.......and many others. Holy shit indeed! Very holy shit
Great interview. Gilmour sounds like a down to earth stand up guy.
Always so humble. He'd be the first to say " oh, I'm no hero, I'm no icon, I'm not a role model, etc." And I'd be the first to say yes you are....since 73 when I first saw you.
*casually tosses off solo with the ease of buttering a slice of bread*
“All that stuff.”
Legend.
"All that stuff."
+Tychus hahaha "all that stuff" indeed
he knows "all that stuff" is some of the best guitar on earth
He said "oh that's tough" because he made a few mistakes during that solo since he was not hooked to the amp.
@@2ZZGE100 no

Comfortably Numb(& The Rest of The Wall Album) got me thru my Depression" it fed it a little. Yet helped me slowly releas it....
The absolut master David Gilmour! Makes everything sound so simple...
Guy with mustache who looks like Borat: "In the United States it has been played 330,000 times."
David: "That's it?"

Stands still laddy. You know how to stand still.
1:06 the way David says "quiver" is the most British thing I've ever heard.
Indeed :) Qui-vah. It's where one keeps one's arrers.
A guitar god and the man that had the courage to save Pink Floyd from total destruction. The man that Syd became to reason with his addiction and illness and helped the family and friends! Thank You David Gilmour who is truly blessed with music and insight! One of the greatest guitar players of all time!
I think that without Roger no one would had Pink Floy as we know
The Fletcher memorial home is his best Solo
@@MarcoA15 And without Syd or David every Pink Floyd product would have sounded either like Ummagumma or The Final Cut.
@@bradwhitham4115 did roger waters not write the majority of dark side of the moon and the wall? David’s singing really was instrumental but without rogers writing the majority of his hits Pink Floyd would be just another psychedelic rock band.
@@nathansmith5215 Their greatest album (according to all of them) was Wish You Were Here. Waters intended piece to anchor the album's theme as tribute to the bands' spiritual leader and thematic compass (Syd) was going absolutely nowhere until David offered some chord progressions he'd been experimenting on. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was born. Waters couldn't do any more by himself than Freddy Mercury (except beaaach about everybody and everything but his own misbehavior). Waters was essential to the band. So were Gilmore, Mason and Wright. That's all I'm saying.
Oh no David, you could never be boring to look at ♥️
David’s timing with regard to the guitar was impeccable, a true maestro.
Pure class right here.
I had the privilege to see the last 2 shows at the Nassau Coliseum in 1980. When I walked in the stadium the first night, I was puzzled. The stage must have taken up a third of the place. No seats were sold on the side or in the rear. I hadn't listened to the record & I had no idea what the show was going to be like. I had a hard time figuring it out for the first half hour of the show. It made the second night that much better. No show had ever had an impact like that on me. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen and heard. A flawless show that must have taken an enormous amount of work.
Holy shit! I grew up in Long Island and I wish I was alive at the time to witness that. Roger Waters just had his show there a month ago but I highly doubt anything could compare to an 80s show with all the boys there
@@verefiedxL I had seen them on the Animals tour and the enormous inflated farm animals floating from the ceiling was something to see. The Wall was in a whole other category. I've seen thousands of shows and I can't think of anything that had the impact of these 2 shows.
The heart of artistry, you want people to realize others share things you have felt and get the feeling out there.
Fabulous interview, one of the best I have ever seen regarding David and Floyd.
Most bands probably release one album throughout their career that they can call their masterpiece. Between 1973 and 1979 Pink Floyd released 4 masterpieces. The rest of their catalogue is pretty damn good too.
So did led zepplin
Add Meddle to that list. 1971-1979.
@@altarofkubrickfloyd the original comment probably meant 4 masterpieces in a row; 1971-1979 would also include Obscured By Clouds and I'm not entirely sure how many people actually consider that a true masterpiece 🗿
Atom heart mother too !
@@daniel-vs6co You can't go wrong with any 70's Floyd album.
Gilmour can make a les paul sound like a strat. lmao
+Justin Cheeks I agree. But then he could probably make a banjo sound like a Strat too.
+Justin Cheeks Probably because it's plugged directly into the mixer - no guitar amp means much more treble (no dedicated treble speaker on a guitar amp), and a single coil guitar like a strat has a more pronounced treble twang than the fuller, fatter les paul humbucker sound.
+Johannes Wiberg Also, his Les Paul has P-90s in it instead of humbuckers. P-90s are closer to a single-coil sound than humbuckers are, so that surely plays a big part.
Gilmore could make a ukulele sound like Gilmore
P-90s are single coil, just with more winding.
"When ppl (listen to music) they want to feel that other ppl have felt what they have felt" - never have wiser words been spoken
Beautifully spoken English, a class act and one of the world's greatest guitarists. Such melodic solos, especially The Wall live in Berlin, 1990.
Uhhhm... He didn't play that. Snowy White and Rick de Fonzo played Comfortably Numb in Berlin 1990.

Imagine being in a room with David Gilmour as he starts playing the solo to Another Brick in the Wall pt. II...!
Exactly, finally a person who actually knows about the band, each member was crucial to the success and creativity of the band.
"You feel like you're not alone". Precisely. I love you David.
I have always felt that with the Wall
Yeah.. but roger waters wrote it.
"Boring to look at..." What I would give to have seen them in the 70's, early 80's.
I did see them at Earl's Court in London about '73. They had a pretty spectacular light show even then. In the build up to the plane crash at the end of "On the Run" an aeroplane came out from the stage and flew over the heads of the crowd, before "crashing" into the wall at the back of the theatre. And all that other stuff.
Saw them in '76 for the Wish You Were Here tour and in '78 for the Animals tour. Yes, they had a projection screen behind them and the inflatable animals in the air over the stadium, but make no mistake... their passionionate and near perfect playing of the music took center stage.
I've seen a lot of legendary musicians live over the years, but if I could choose to time travel back and see one artist again, it would be those shows!
boring to look at? beautiful guy, gentleman, make great music that are lyrical.
@Lightning Bulb - Right you are. June 22, 1975 and June 15, 1977... both at Milwaukee County Stadium.
Did see them 4 times from 73 to 78. I assure you they were not boring to look at!! LOL
A very intelligent and interesting man i love to hear his stories
Love David Gilmore..saw him July 5th, 1984 in South Florida..best concert I have ever been to.. I believe it was about face then.. lots of great music..still.
When I hear that 🎸 I get chills..
Holy shit! I have never seen this. Dave describes and shows how he played Another Brick with his guitar plugged right into the console, and same Les Paul that he apparently used. This is like God showing how he created the Ten Commandments. Thank you, Dave!

His notes are so clean and precise.
I had the great pleasure to see Pink Floyd twice . First time was 1975 in Hamilton Ontario when they played parts of Meddle,all of Dark side of the Moon and a couple from Wish you where here.I saw them again in 1980 Nassau Long Island NY The Wall .two of my favorite concerts of all time.
Saw the wall at the late night movies 12 midnight 1984 , blew my mind, especially empty spaces when face came out the wall lol unbelievable
"all that stuff, emm" ahaha just killer!
The typical english gentleman, he is so rich and famous but he has never been involved in any scandal, he seems a rock solid family man, mellow, prolly homebody too and that makes him so unusual and charming, this side of him is never pointed out
He has 8 kids across 2 marriages but i think pretty much a pretty solid bloke and an amazing musician. Also a socialist...which might not go done too well in the US but is pretty bloody amazing in my eyes.
Isn't he french?
Jack Graham He can speak French but he’s English
I got an email from him a few months back. He asked me to help him find an ancestor. We share 4th great grandfathers.
Check out his Desert Island Discs interview (which I think is nearly 20 years old now yikes). He is such a homebody and a family man, it's beautiful to hear. I wish he was my dad!
That gulp right after the interviewer throws out that number, David's like, that doesn't sound accurate😂😂
The Master of Emotion! Sir David Gilmour... Always been my favorite Guitarist and Vocalist. \,,,/
David Gilmour is entrancing to listen to; the way he speaks to his processes and the way he approaches his craft. Really interesting to see a man who is not a chatty person tak, as it always yields quality information
Gilmour is fantastic, the sound that he can create is so fantastic. All over in DSoTM his guitarr sounds like colors. In The Wall they give me a cold or petrified feeling.
I can't even imagine how much someone would pay for that Gibson which has been used to record the solo on Another Brick in the Wall... Wow :)
Влад Борисыч it would go for at least 5’500’000
Let alone that it's a Les Paul 1955 which would fetch huge dollars to begin with.
That guitar should be donated to a museum for everybody to see. It would otherwise spend the rest of its days in a private collector's cage.
Probable make terrific firewood ;)
so the guitar should go for a walk on part in the museum instead of the lead role in some collector's cage?
One thing about his solos is that you can feel it inside your soul hard to explain it does it for me
His playing goes right through me like a white hot wire. I have to remember to breathe. Always an incredible spiritual experience.
Jazz mixed with blues my guy
Same here so it’s real
He mentions "Sutherlin Brothers and Quiver". Wow! I saw those guys when I was in Germany in 78. Those guys were great!
Spectacular album, I’ve listened to that and Dark side of the moon more times than I’d care to admit
In ‘72 I saw them perform at winterland in SF. I was just shy of reaching out and being able to touch David Gilmore’s foot. During the song “Time “, I was immersed in sound and light staring straight up at David when he hit that high note, at that moment I saw that 8:18 he was staring straight me . I almost fell backwards. It’s a moment that I relive every time I hear that song. If you can choose moments of your life to relive in Heaven, that is certainly one that will be remembered forever. By far the best concert I’ve ever attended.
At the door it was only $4.00 to get in. Which was instant, whee my friends stood in line for nearly an hour, finally showing up, in time to get a front row standing room . No seats. At the end of the show, they walked offstage leaving the instruments sitting quietly alone with the white stadium lights on them. Thinking moments ago we were all under the intensity of these instruments and their owners flying among the clouds and galaxies. The power still held to the instruments as if being still played. On of my friends wouldn’t or couldn’t leave for nearly 45 minutes o it was over. The power still was effective without the intensity of the show. Will never forget that night.
this man is a legend
He's a guitar virtuoso in every sense of the word and very serious about his craft. The sounds that he can produce from his guitar is purely surreal.
I love his face after he get's told how many times it's been heard, he didn't even care
On Spotify alone, as of right now, Comfortably Numb is sitting at 303.106.465 listens. The most played songs by them are Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 (422 million) and Wish You Were Here (425 million). Outstanding.
Thanks for the music to get to me thru those troubling times
"...it has been played 330,000 times."

Dan Utube and radio are two different things. If you want some song/video on Utube, you just click on it. One person could listen to it 20 times in one evening. With radio the station plays it. 4 times a day is the max any FM station would play a popular song. Even if thousands of listeners wanted to hear a song every hour on the hour it is not going to happen on radio. In the sixties with the Beatles - yea, some DJs played a Beatle Song every 20 minutes. But today's radio is very heavily programmed. Every minute of every hour of every day is programmed.. It may sound random but it isn't. If Against The Wind is followed by Running With The Devil, there is a good reason for it. Because you decide when and if you want to play a Utube Video naturally the count is going to be higher. But, in no way does it reflect what happens on radio. Radio station programmers decide what is played on their station, when and how many times. You are dealing with apples and oranges here.
“All that stuff...” on one of the most well known and unique guitar solos ever.
As of today, 10th January 2020, Comfortably Numb has had 231 million plays on Spotify alone....and that still doesn’t reflect the true brilliance of the song.
And 288 million today
And 300 million on youtube
This man is a true Wizard! I've been looking for a RUclips video on how to get the Gilmour tone and how to play like him and clicked on so many of them claiming they've done it and it might as well be click bait because I've not found anyone whom can or has been able to pull it off!
DG is one of a kind and I love listening to his stuff! So many guitarist are out to impress and do but that doesn't mean that you really want to listen for very long! DG is a player you just want to hear more and more! At least I do!
Amazing that Gilmour with his incredible ear having to spend so much time persuading people to allow his auditory vision to take place. He is amazing
3:57 this is why he's such a great guitar player: he thinks of the melody first, then he plays it. Too many lead guitar players let their fingers decide.
There is no wrong or right way. Just the way.
Great interview, very intelligent! Obviously knows a guitar up and down, in my opinion he is top 5 in my book still alive best guitar players, and he's up there on my top 5 list
That guy sounds like he's really good at guitaring. It's cool how he bends those string things.
When I was a young guitar player, I used to think he was using an effect because when he plays, it sounds like his guitar is almost breathing. Really, one of the greatest players of all times.
Thanks for the ride.
330,000 times would be my share. Sorry.
Andy Armstrong They aren’t getting all their royalties
Playing comfortably Numb 330,000 times, (full version not the radio edit), would come out to about, 31,153 hours, or if thats to big of a number for you try this; 1298 days of solid 24/7 listing.
That's over 3 1/2 years. If you indeed did that,(besides wasting you're life and being a complete moron), it would be a record, (no pun intended), so you would have that. Obviously no one could do that in 3 1/2 years, they would need to sleep.at some point, or they will die.
Personally I think you're just a moron. The reason why I say this, is because you seem to have a complete lack of understanding very simple numbers. Just very basic arithmetic.
I doubt anyone has listened to one song no matter how good it is, that many times.
So either you're a moron or a liar. Or you could just be a sarcastic idiot.

I watched Roger too on his wall tour five years ago in, Birmingham Uk.
I got a feeling it was my birthday.
The tickets were a birthday present I do know that.
I did see the Australian Floyd on my birthday may 7 in cardiff about 10/11 years ago.
Both fantastic nights to remember.
Enjoy ur Floyd my friend. :)
One of the world greats, Musically brilliant .. Listening to his music is like listening to a beautiful story made up of notes that somehow paints a picture in my mind .
The Wall...
In one of my high school classes, Mr. Rybarczyk (sp?) had us watch The Wall as a study in existentialism. He handed out ~20 pages of his own notes to the class. IIRC, we spent a week's worth of class time watching while he paused regularly and went over the notes with the class, then watched the movie straight through without commentary over a couple of days.
Love that guy.
I love his accent. I could imagine him reading “The Velveteen Rabbit” for my bedtime story. Am I weirdo?
yes, but all the better for it
Paddington. Shit, he'd even make Curious George sound like a literal masterpiece...
Yes

He means on American radio.
David Gilmour is brilliant. Love all of the emotion that seeps from his guitar when he plays.
As a musician the sharing bits kind of special. Often if I'm sad, or in a screwy mood or something, I'll grab a guitar and just work through whatevers messing with me, howl it out, and its theraputic. But if someones not a musician they cant do that. So tthey have to find songs to stand in for that process. So when I write some shitty howly little guitar number, and someone says "Man, that moved me", well thats special because it means I could give my little therapy session, and pass it on to the next guy. Pink floyd didnt just pass it on to the next guy, they passed it on to millions, maybe even billions of next guys. Millions of people with a bit more of a reason to go on, cos they found some music that could speak what they couldnt before. Thats the power of music folks

First off for me is how much of a True Rock Professional David is, and making sure his listeners were totally impressed no matter how many times you listened to their music.
I can comfortably say (no pun intended) that David has the most soothing voice ever.
Plays like a legend "All that stuff." inside he's thinking, yes I am the king.
He's so humble, I love him
lol Dave is not humble at all from what Ive read, but if anything the guy is my all time favorite guitarist!
@@ethnicleanserberg7975 where did you read that?
On camera! But if he isn’t humble so what? He’s got every right to be arrogant if he wants
