All from their heads?

their instruments I mean

That's not what Dave meant. He was saying that the machines can't operate themselves. They have to put in the machines the music that is in their head. They were of course referring to synthesizers and whatnot, because I guess people were accusing them of hiding behind all that equipment.

I think they learned the hard way. By experimentation and practice. As far as I know they did not have any formal training.

I agree with Tbone about the superhuman, no thinking thing.

They are a phenomena.....same like Motzart and the classical music monsters. They will be widely recognized and honoured more next generations....when they pass away..like most of the exceptional artists and scientists. Already many of the fans in PFFN are 16 or younger.

I wonder why Rog or Dav hasn't got the title SIR yet? taking in consideration SIR Elton. That was understood in the past cause Maggy definitely never liked them.

Considering how Keith Richards acted when Mick was knighted, I'd hate to see how Rog or David would act if their sworn enemy was knighted.

I think Dave is an OBE.

Haha, I just turned 16. Remember in elementary school 1-5 grade when you had music class and they kept telling you about motzart and stuff? One day they will be telling kids about Pink Floyd.

Back then, echoes, atom heart mother, etc, ideas flew about and the best ones were pieced together by the likes of alan parsons. later, individual power struggles desroyed this accidental creativity, destroying the magic that was. absolute power, or even the sense of such a thing corrupts absolutely.

Dave is CBE.

People are apparently only knighted for public service (such as large donations to charity).

They were never into drugs as bad as so many assume.

As individual musicians, they were talented at the least, but no where near prodigous. When pieced together it was their combined tastes, talents, and wonderful ears for extraordinary music that resulted in our beloved albums. And yes, some members can be credited more than the rest.

And as far as practice, I know Dave had no teaching (just his own desire to play), and I believe Roger and Nick were in the same boat (however I could be wrong). And something tells me Rick had formal teaching on the piano, but taught himself organ/synthesizer (as it carries over so easily).
