And now he's touring The Wall, in stadia, around the world.

Selling out I guess... and being...miserable?

ah but hes changed you see

ah but hes changed you see

I know, but that's a luxury we're meant to give him that he never gave the rest of the band.

His whole rant about SOC could just as easily be about himself.

Self-obsessed, delusional, emotionally fecked.

m'eh... great songster, but piss-poor human being.

I think even he'd agree with you there

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

actually, that was another thing. He kept taking the piss out of the Irish accent last night.

This seems to be his party piece. I saw him being interviewed once about the time bob geldof took a taxi somewhere and started going on about how he hated pink floyd and the wall to the taxi driver. The driver was Rogers brother and he snitched on geldof to roger. Roger put on his Irish accent to recount the things that geldof had said to the brother. I cant remember if i saw that on tv or if I read it and it was written that he put on the irish accent. I would like to know if he just used a generic irish accent or if he successfully copied geldof's ludicrous accent.

he'll be back on the road with the floyd as soon as that little money grabber divorces him.

that was the incident Geldof wrote about in his book.

jesus, what a loser... I'm starting to think all those kids and teachers that bullied him were onto something.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I can't imagine Roger being bullied in school

 

[MilanPan!c]

I can't imagine Roger being bullied in school

You don' have too, he wrote about 12 albums about it

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

PLEASE

I must now resist the temptation to go through all the albums line by line to refute your statement

Then what is Bike about?

Or Two Suns In A Sunset

Or Mademoiselle Nobs

Or The Nile Song

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

The Nile Song was a great one. And Ibiza Bar.

Myself and some friends went busking around the pubs of mullingar one night when we were teenagers pretending that we were collecting for charity and we sang Bike. The money was adequate compensation for the ridicule

Was talking about "covering" it just the other day... great song, but pretty uncoverable...

 

[rettucs]

its about a bike and a girl. a certain kind of bike and girl

Yep I saw that too, he doesn't imitate Geldof, he just does the generic paddy accent.

Yeah i want to second the desire for some older live performances. That would be fantastic.

And a mouse named Gerald, who must be long dead by now.

Major Pink Floyd release campaign, "Why Pink Floyd...?"
Pink Floyd and EMI Music, whose association dates from 1967, announce a comprehensive release schedule, to be launched on September 26, 2011, encompassing CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, SACD, an array of digital formats, viral marketing, iPhone Apps and a brand-new single-album "Best Of" collection.
The legendary band, who are still one of the most successful and iconic artists of all time, recently signed an agreement with EMI which has allowed the development of a multi-format programme of packages, many containing archive material that has been collated during an extensive process between EMI and Pink Floyd for a range of media formats.
The releases, under the banner Why Pink Floyd…?, are designed to appeal to a wide cross section of their fans, with music to excite first time listeners, while super-deluxe box sets will cater to dedicated fans, allowing them to immerse themselves in multi-disc sets, containing alternate takes, unreleased tracks, restored live concert screen films and a live recording of the legendary The Dark Side Of The Moon performance at Wembley in 1974.
A series of different listening experiences have been specially created for this release: in addition to remastered CDs called 'Discovery' and the 'Immersion' CD / DVD / Blu-ray / memorabilia box sets will be a series of 'Experience' Editions – coupling one classic album with a further disc of related content from that album to offer a deeper listening experience.
Roger Faxon, CEO of EMI Group, said: "This is a unique collaboration between EMI and one of the most creative and influential bands in history. We have worked together for more than a year on this programme which incorporates all the elements that have made Pink Floyd one of the most inspiring forces in modern music. Why Pink Floyd? Because their music is without equal and these exciting new releases will allow music fans to rediscover their incredible legacy and demonstrate that an appreciation for artistic quality never goes out of fashion."
Storm Thorgerson, the band's longtime Art Director, has overseen the visual design, including new booklets for all the CDs, new artwork for the box sets and menus for the DVD content. Respected photographer Jill Furmanovsky, has edited books of original unseen photographs. Pink Floyd collaborators James Guthrie (in the US) and Andy Jackson (in the UK) have been in charge of digital remastering to the highest audio and audiovisual standards.
Pink Floyd film archivist Lana Topham has supervised the painstaking restoration of many historic films from Pink Floyd's classic era, included in the 'Immersion' box sets for 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here'.
First to be available on 26 September 2011 will be:
Expanded deluxe and special edition versions of Pink Floyd masterwork The Dark Side Of The Moon, in a 6-disc 'Immersion' box set and 'Experience' 2-disc versions, as well as a collectors' vinyl LP and various digital formats. Plus 14 studio albums, digitally remastered will be available separately or as a box set.
Other initiatives will include a digital marketing plan utilising user-generated content to allow fans to make their own creative contributions to the band's music, plus iPhone Apps which will give a unique insight into Pink Floyd's recorded legacy.
On 7 November 2011, Phase 2 of the releases will include:
Wish You Were Here 'Immersion' 5-disc and 'Experience' 2-disc editions, both of which will include bonus material from the band's 1974 Wembley dates, including a 20-minute tour de force live rendition of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', as well as a unique recording of 'Wish You Were Here' featuring the legendary jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. A collectors' vinyl LP will also be available, as will various digital formats.
Released simultaneously will be A Foot In The Door - The Best Of Pink Floyd, a collection of their most well known songs, contained on one album for the first time.
The long-awaited 5.1 version of 'Wish You Were Here', mixed by James Guthrie, will also be released in parallel via independent label Acoustic Sounds.
The Wall, which has sold 25-million double sets and has become a cultural and political touchstone over the last three decades, will be afforded the same exhaustive treatment on February 27, 2012, with deluxe packages including a 7-disc 'Immersion' set and a 3-disc 'Experience' edition. A collectors' vinyl LP will also be available, as will various digital formats.
Pink Floyd's official website, www.pinkfloyd.com, will be given a substantial relaunch from today. Pink Floyd's FaceBook page now has over 11 million followers.
