a shame

Pink floyd to me is thematic and audiophonic perfection. It hurts to know that Gilmour wasnt capable of writing down a couple of good lyrics when Waters left.Doesnt Gilmour look like a pussy leeting his wife writing down some of the shitty lyrics on Division Bell? i mean COME ON! Also, i think Broken China is a good album, but why did Wright have to commission Moore to write down the lyrics? Wouldnt it have been more satisfying if he wrote them down himslef? I love Pink Floyd but this thing.. i find hard to swallow.what do u think my friends?

Your opinion my friend......

Okay InLimbo. I see you're one of those new member types who feels the need to produce a rapid number of threads upon arrival. Polluting the board with several friends containing your opinions is not necessary, nor will it get a good response. I would suggest lightening up on the language for one, and two, containing all of your opinions to a single thread. Why not try "InLimbos Thoughts". I'd appreciate, and so would the rest of us. Thanks, Pearly. Any questions pm me.

hey hey whats all this angst? dont get so macho authotoritative on me, im new in here so relax a bit.were u the one who said u welcome new users? geez

...easy now, InLimbo. Pearly is just doing her moderating duties (which she does quite well) - and the point about reading the posting guidelines is a good one. You'll find little patience 'round here for arrogance and harshness (except of course if your name is a dairy product or a rodent...)

Hello. Is there anybody out there? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I'm new, and I don't really know what I'm doing. I was trying to find the answer to a question that has bothered me for about 20 years. This seemed to be the most resently active area so I thought I'd just throw it out here:
What were "the gunner's dying words on the intercom?" Or What is said in the background after that line on The Final Cut?

Hello Leslie...

Finally a agood question... I don't know the answer, yet. There are plenty on here who probably do.

Welcome to APFFN. Please use the search function prior to starting a new thread. Have fun nad enjoy the company,, there's some great folks on here..

PWXXGHHT! PWXXAGGETTXSXTT! PXWXXTTGAGGXT!

Paraphrasing, of course.

I think we can safely conclude that the gunner's dying words were "Oh, shiite!!"

No one really knows.

If anyone has an interview or article where Rog explains, please share.

If Rog does one of those chats like Gilmour did last year, that would be the question I submit.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry if I threw my question out in the wrong place - just lookin' for answers. Almost freakin' 40 and this is my first time doing this. I'll catch up.

Ahhh youth is wasted on the young..

I think Cheriberi is one of us.

Oh, Welcome, Leslie!

Yep, I'm wasting it.


Oh, and Charles Bronson died. It's a little off-topic, but sad news.

Ohh My, Your right Stratters..

Sorry Cheri..... My memory ain't what it used to be..

On the subject... Gilmour plays a nice guitar but he can't write lyrics for crap. I don't think he has the depth and insight to write a real Pink Floyd album - he just knows how to kinda sound like one. I remember seeing the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour - there was a video of an indian quietly moving down stream, quiet music, and lasers. What the hell were lasers doing going off during this? Simple - it was a Pink Floyd concert - ya gotta have lasers! Gilmour's Floyd isn't about expressing an idea or feeling in a dramatic and interesting way, it's about playing a cool style of music and then trying to make those darn interfering lyrics at least add to the mood. It's too bad he and Waters can't get along - Waters doesn't have the musical flow to make swallowing his lyrics sweeter, Gilmour can play the hell out of a guitar but most of the time, who cares? it's just meaningless elevator music.
