    As a Pink Floyd AND BodyCount/Ice T fan, I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around the fact that he got both Gilmour and Waters to agree on this THEN get Gilmour to play along.

      I kind of thought the same, but I was mainly amazed it was happening because it was such a strange crossover and combining of such different musical genres and styles. It would be like Megadeth announcing they were doing a song with Dolly Parton: I would be wondering if I was in the twilight zone!
      " OK,.... well, I never would have guessed in a million years there would be a musical collaboration with those two entities. WTF is that going to sound and look like?"

      @@RobwLPOC Why not, I mean when BodyCount came to light, it was a nearly new concept to integrate hip hop with metal, barely done before with Anthrax/Public Enemy, and that band called Biohazard who really have a signature sound.

      @RobwLPOC Месяц назад +4

      @Manu-Official I would say you could argue the Beastie Boys were metal and rap next together sort of as well, or at least Hard Rock and rap. Rap music and heavy metal were also both Counter Culture anti-authority genres so attitude wise they kind of make sense being mixed together. Both are generally seen by the mainstream public as angry music going against the system.
      Not to mention your point that you would never expect Waters and Gilmore to actually agree on anything want not to mention allow or participate in a collaboration of Pink Floyd's music with anybody, regardless of who it was. It's not just that I didn't see body count ever doing something with the guys from Pink Floyd, I didn't see anybody else doing it either (although theoretically possible)
      I never even remotely had the idea that someday for lack of a better way to put it "Headbangers and Hippies" could be on the same wavelength and make music together. That is for sure LOL. They are a definite Odd Couple music wise. Pink Floyd known sometimes as psychedelic Rock are representative of a very different cultural attitude than a heavy metal band like Body count which represent/have a more angry rather than laid-back attitude. The two sides didn't hate each other but they weren't sending each other Christmas cards either.
      Funny thing is I'm a big fan of Yngwie Malmsteen, Savatage (who basically became the Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and Leaves Eye's which all in their own way, mix heavy metal with symphony/classical music. Really, it seems that I should know that pretty much any genres of music could be mixed if done right no matter how different they may be perceived.

    • @Manu-Official
      @Manu-Official Месяц назад +1

      @@RobwLPOC Good point with the Beastie Boys, you also reminded me of Aerosmith and Run DMC, they did lay the fundations of rock/rap. I would say that Rage Against The Machine were top of the game in the 90s. Yngwie Malmsteem is a different animal, complete league of his own that guy - I sort of see him as some sort of modern metal Vivaldi, I have a few of his albums as his mastery on the guitar did draw me in. Also into Satriani and Vai.
      Now back to Pink Floyd I'll just add, they had a little bit of laying down some heavy prog metal foundations with One Of These Days, and that's 1971.
      For the story, I'm a long time PF fan, rock fan, metalhead, hip hop techno progressive electronic music concrete ambient pop long time DJ. At this point I'm just glad to hear a PF/BC collab, that's just nuts.

      And then there's the 'Cop Killer' which caused enough controversy that it had to be removed.
      For which instead they recorded the song 'Freedom of Speech' over Jimi Hendrix' 'Foxy Lady' to replace 'Cop Killer'

    Gilmour and Waters both loving the lyrics, and how those lyrics are complementary to the original song, and very much of the current times, even us old Floyd fans will be onboard.
    Listening to Ice-T speak, and he's still the same direct no-BS man that he was in interviews back when Cop Killer was getting banned from radio, and straight up, he could have had a completely separate career as a stand-up comic, he'd be the Black George Carlin, laying it down straight for everyone.
    Saw both Ice-T perform by himself and with Bodycount back in the '90's, they're still as tight as ever. Some musicians just keep getting better and better.

    When "Home Invasion" dropped, it was THE rap album everyone needed and wanted. Early90's ice-T was legit.
