He was also only 15, just like me and our other best friend (in the passenger seat).

The fact that it was so close is why he felt comfortable driving there.

to me. Thank God I have me about 12 acres of land I can drink my brewskies in and drive around, when I am in the towns
or cities I forbid myself to ever drive if I drink anything. 

Never drank in a cemetery, got one on me LMAO!

Not bringing up bad memories because, for some reason, it's never really bothered me. I get asked that a lot in my presentations.

I've said it before, but our friend's dad was the caretaker back there, so their house was back there and they let us drink and have parties because we weren't bothering anyone because everyone back there was dead...........

David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time, dude still bends string right off the fret board like no other and is a great singer.

Roger Waters blows and was so bad of a bassist Gilmour had to play the bass for him on entire albums and sang most of the songs.

Rush rocks though, love Neil Peart.


Good for him, wish I had dough to throw around like that.


Never really liked the Who much either, I like Rain on Me and Behind Blue Eyes and can play one of them but not a big fan.

All the songs of the Who they play on the radio are annoying as hell to me. I like The Guess Who better lol

Neil Peart of Rush was iconic though, greatest drummer of all time IMO. Love Tool's drummer as well.

Pretty much the only people on Pete Townshend's level were the prog rockers (Genesis, Yes, ELP, etc.) and even they weren't as grandiose and as fine-tuned as Pete was.

Americans on the whole have never been as big of fans of the Who as the other popular acts of the day and this thread is proof.

And trust me, I recognise the brilliance of Gilmour. Incidentally, he guested on a Pete Townshend tune in the 80s that few people know about and even fewer know that he was a part of it:





How your fingers don't cramp up with almost 6 minutes of that intricacy, I have no clue.

BTW, there's no such song as, "Rain on Me." It's Love Reign O'er Me

And BBEyes is overplayed to death.

I also deem Peart and Danny Carey to be the two best in Rock history.

BTW, you must love Triumph which is another Canadian band like Rush. That lead guitarist/singer is another great.

Watched Stevie Ray Vaughn this morning on Austin City Limits. Dude is insane, but you might not like his style.

(07-04-2023, 04:17 PM)Whatever Wrote: Definitely, but Edge as least has chord/position changes in his parts.  Most of Gilmour's performance in "Give Blood" is sitting in a single position and repeating the same simple pattern ad nauseam with no deviation.  And his solo is just a slow walk up of a major scale.  I mean, that's just a classic example of a guy using effects as a crutch instead of a tool.  

I like most of Pink Floyd's catalogue and I have a lot of respect for Gilmour as an artist, but it's ridiculous to me that some have to take things a step further and try to categorize him as some kind of guitar god.  He's by no means Kurt Cobain bad on the instrument, but his playing certainly doesn't deserve placement on a pedestal, either.
