Strange picture

Anyone has any clue what happened on this photo? I don't think they pretend to be Nazis, or have broken arms and wear splints, or that they are dummies instead of the real Pink Floyd, or they are playing with a yo-yo. This photo looks really strange.

Re: Strange picture

I always assumed it was just something random they decided to do for the camera.

Re: Strange picture

Obviously, it's scientific proof, that they all worship Nick Mason. Well deserved.

(Note that David is the only one who's doing the salute right)

Re: Strange picture

I noticed that, too. I'm certain I would do the same for Mr. Mason if ever in his presence.

Also, notice Roger looks like he's wondering what he's doing there.

For a fascist, he's quite lousy...his arm's all curved,he'sjust not willing to salute Nick...

Rick is graceful

Re: Strange picture

What is missing is the soundtrack which would explain it all...

You would hear Dave, Nick and Rick chanting

Heil Roger!, Heil Roger!, Heil Roger!

Re: Strange picture

That picture was taken probably right after Syd left or so, and I'm sure they were all a bit batty during that period, being unsure on what would happen next and all, that I guess they had to appoint a leader. And why is Nick dressed up like Doctor Who?

Re: Strange picture

So, are you saying that thyey took this picture to try how did Nick look as a front man? (Apparently, that didn't work out too well.)

Maybe they tried a shot like this with everybody in the front, but this is the only one that ever made it to the public eye (they must've thought 'Nick, the leader? Ha-ha, that's hilarious! Let's try that for a few laughs!!')

Another theory: they were all supposed to salute for the shot,and in the last second, Nick refused, so it'd look as if he was the leader.

Re: Strange picture

Who knows? Maybe Nick was rather assertive back in those days, though most drummers stay out of the politics of bands.

Re: Strange picture

Which is why we always turn to the ever-overlooked drummers, in the end...

Re: Strange picture

It appears to me as though everyone behind Nick waived for the camera, and due to the odd camera angle (shooting from below, aiming up) their sulute appears higher than actual, if you catch my drift.

Re: Strange picture

well perhaps, but i think those hands should have been little bit higher if their intention was to waive to the camera. Not really good in photography so thats just an opinion

It's part of the effect.

Re: Strange picture

Yeah? Hmm, I wonder what was the intention behind it? Perhaps that's why it's a strange pic
