I think you’ve just answered your own retort cos I agree with all of this 100%

More than 40 years after I first heard it, and the second guitar solo in Comfortably Numb still makes me stop and listen every time I hear it. Whenever I think I've achieved something I remember that Dave Gilmour made that happen.

@JC Controversial but I agree.

A few Floyd haters on here so entirely on topic (please try not to do that, it's a bit weird).

I can’t put my finger on what exactly makes him so great as a guitarist but he most definitely is.

Neither can I no matter how much I practise, it doesn't sound the same.

Damn right. Some guitarists are just inimitable like him, Jeff Beck, Richie Blackmore, Brian May etc.

that was oddly compelling given he didn't actually say or do anything

what a song though, best listened to flat on your back on your bed at 2am, fully clothed but off your head with the lights still on

sparky

Love Pink Floyd's music. One of the great bands of all time. Enormous legacy. Some really beautiful and amazing songs.

Off stage Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and especially Roger Waters are total bellends. Rick Wright was okay.

taniwharugby

@voodoo in some he and his brother do them and comment on many of them (end up down a rabbit hole watching them listen to RATM, Metallica, Linkin Park, Hendrix etc)

Bones

@taniwharugby yeah the Phil Collins one was good. I don't think I could watch any more though...

taniwharugby

@Bones some of them are really good, others less so, sometimes I think they are looking to react rather than listening to the music (Killing in the name of) but overall I think they do a good job.

Bovidae

He would have more cred if the video showed the right PF album cover.
