I don't think it's a legal thing. I think it's just a case of "Gilmour has written the iconic solo for this song, and you will never come close to beating it, so just play his solo."
Speaking of Pink, I was at this show at Rice Stadium in Houston on on April 5th, 1994. It rained like hell and we were treated to a lightning storm that worked with the show like nothing I've seen. Lasers shooting up into the clouds while lightning and thunder flashed and pounded with the music. Yea, I was high. Oddly enough, Cobain died same day.
He didn't kill it in that 02 Arena Wall Concert he joined Waters on. But everything else Ive seen him do it's amazing. He doesn't seem to deviate much himself, no flourishes, experimentation, etc with his solos. Still a rock legend. I saw The Wall this summer with Roger Waters and as cool as the theatrics were it wasn't as mind blowing as I had hoped.
Holy FUCK! I've seen Clapton live a bunch of times, but never as a three piece. And 'Got to Get Better in a Little While?' I've never seen him play that live.
Waters might be considered the "brains" behind the remaining non-insane members of Floyd, but Gilmore is the better player, and the better live performer. That isn't open for debate. Plus Gilmore can sing, and Waters can't.
Truth. Always kind of sad they didn't utilize the great harmony Gilmore and Wright had during their peak years. Man I know it's an tired joke but god damn do the Rolling Stones are geriatrics. Their toothpick stature scares me more. Are they ALL on meth or something?
Just thinking the same thing. The BAND is fifty years old. Mick Jagger is pushing 70. Keith Richards is still even alive. I need better supplements.
Looks like the space a thing should work tomorrow. Then I get to take a 24 hour greyhound bus ride. Luckily they are said to have WiFi. I wonder if getting my drunk on would be discouraged. I hope I am not decapitated.
With my luck, I'll have a stinky hobo with a foot fetish in the seat next to me. At least she got to stretch out!
I know KEith Richards is the youngest member and looks like soimebody unearthed Danny Trejo's corpse but look, they're OLD. And they did drugs on occasion, from what I hear. Give credit where it's fucking due: I've seen them live and they're a good show, and Mick Jagger has the stamina of a four-year-old that ate an entire box of pixie sticks. They have the biggest stage in the game, and runs from end-to-end on it for 100 straight minutes, never stopping. He's not even breathing hard when they takes their final bow. ...in his sixties, and hot women are right there next to me in the crowd STILL SCREAMING THEY WANT TO FUCK HIM, meanwhile that shriveled motherfucker up there dressed like a cosmic pimp is singing about he can't get no satisfaction. Can you say "charisma"? Ron Wood's girlfriend is a 20-year-old Russian model and he looks like a peat bog mummy.
In his defense, he was dealing with a fat drunk man screaming in his ear. I bet he really regretted inviting them all up. Seriously, is anybody else dealing with the weird reverse audio? Is that profanity editing?
Fuck 'The Who'. This one time? In college? While I was on acid? I thought that song 'Break on Through' by The Door's was about taking a shit. It was quite an experience: This is also the evening where I discovered that the song, 'Desperado', by the Eagles, was in fact; about my penis.
Good God, can someone please write a song for Alicia Keys that doesn't suck and does her voice justice? It's a shame her great voice gets wasted on the drivel she sings.
