the most angry floyd song?

hiya everyone. this is my first post here and i have to admit im a bit nervous and intimidated. but any way i was wondering what you guys think is the most angry floyd song. i think it would either be pigs, welcome to the machine, or not now john.

be nice to me, its my first time. :smile:

Welcome, dude! Don't be intimidated, some cool heads here. (Just don't say anthing that would PO the girls.)

As for your question, "One of These Days" comes to mind, but probably not enough lyrics to be a contender.....My official entry: "When the Tigers Broke Free"....."Fletcher Memorial Home" comes to mind also....Your choices are good, too. In fact, the real challenge may be in finding a (Waters) song that isn't angry.

hmm... the second "In the Flesh" comes to mind.

Run Like Hell is kinda angry as well.

Definitely The Fletcher Memorial Home. Just because of the change in Roger's voice when he says "Don't they expect us to treat them with any respect," and also because of the general brooding feel to the song.

Yeah, and that last line "Now the final solution can be applied" sounds pretty Hitlerian. Roger is ready to kick open the door, walk in with an AK47 and gun down the whole lot of 'em.

Welcome! :smile:

I think "Sheep" is certainly a contender for angriest song...it's just pure venom against all those who don't suit his idea of how a person should be (in other words, if this person is different from him).

I heard a saying once, that I could imagine Mr. Waters saying, "Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of my way!"

Dogs, Pigs, another brick part duece are all pretty angry songs if you listen to the lyric, and what is trying to be said . . .

And for RW songs that AREN'T angry...I think I can name a few.

Biding My Time
San Tropez
Each Small Candle

or even one of my personal favorites Corporal Clegg, and let there be more light, those em are not that angry

Again with the multiple pukes, Barrett Fan? What gives?

Us intimidating? Never!

"When The Tigers Broke Free" seems to me fairly "angry" and the second "In The Flesh" seems more maniacal, but angry for all that.

One song that seems to be "angry" is Hey you.
The line near the end "And the worms dag into his brain" and also the guitar solo in the middle sounds really hate-filled , in a sense.

if i remember correctly he is trying to get the number of pukes used, which can be viewed in the top 10 stats for those who don't know, higher. kind of like what i was doing with the

Until you finally realised how pointless and rather pathetic it was, you mean?

i would say that 'empty spaces', 'what shall we do now?' and 'another brick in the wall part 3' from the wall live are very angry. the music is menacing, and rogers singing is very intense. you could also include the end of 'one of my turns' in there. but especially empty spaces and what shall we do know?. a lot of anguish towards the world comes out in the wall.
