      I think he is the wittiest, funniest member of them all. He knows his place in the band, and David Gilmour said it best "you could have the greatest drummer in the world play these songs, and it might sound right......but its still lacking Nick's presence and fittting way of making us what we were"

    Pipers is actually very relevant today, it is not dated as he tries to label it. It is actually the most interesting Floyd's album today, it the one we still listen to. I am sorry to say

      Yes would agree..the only real comparison of Syds songs to other music in the 60s was that they just happened to be written at the same time, that’s the end of their similarities..Astronomie dominie could easily have been penned in the noughties, interstellar overdrive would easily fit with everything else being produced in the 90s..nearly every other song on piper could have been written by the Cure, Bauhaus and other similar acts of the 80s..Syd barrett was years ahead of his time..the Beatles were 60s as were the stones to a large degree, the Floyd under Syd barrett weren’t!. Nick in general is full of garbage and doesn’t really relate the real truth of the situation..his book was highly boring where it should have been groundbreaking!

    • @tpbrcombo
      @tpbrcombo Год назад +1

      He does not say it was dated. He said it was of its time, a time of experimentation with the possibilities of songcraft. You could say the same about Sgt Peppers, Are You Experienced, The Doors, and a dozen other albums from 1967. I’m always amused by people who deliberately misunderstand a basic point so they can pretend their precious is under attack. But I accept your apology.

    I think having a stable drummer is more important than people think. Nick provided that in PF. Like Paicey in Purple. The Beatles took off with Ringo. Rush with the Professor. Zeppelin disbanded with the loss of Bonzo. And Keef has always said the Stones will go as long as Charlie goes. Having that foundation to build off of is vastly underrated.

    I went to Nick’s Saucerful of Secrets show in 2019 in D.C. After the show I was in line to meet him. After Guy Pratt and the rest of the band got on the bus, Nick stayed behind to meet the fans. When he got to me, I asked him, “Mr. Mason, could I possibly get a picture with you sir?”
    His exact response to me was, “Photography can be difficult,” in a very mannered response. At first I was bummed but totally understand he keeps it professional. I look fondly on that memory.

    Now thats a dream album pick bits and pieces that have never been released over all of pink floyds years as a remaining members project including Roger and splice them togather like a new kind of cake, adding a few tidbits along the way, like a historical story of the band. Play nice.
    Were talking the start of the band to Gilmore last solo stuff. Including sid and before if any of its on tape.
    Could be a 2 or 3 record set.
    The cookie dough left over in the mixing bowl. Scraps as they were done, cutting that hit the floor. This idea is classic pink floyd.
