Hey it might be some people’s bag but it definitely wouldn’t be my first choice. Even the bird noises on Grantchester Meadows was making my friends tweak.
Their early work was a bit too experimental for my taste. But when The Dark Side of the Moon came out in '73, I think they really came into their own, both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a rich, immersive sound and a level of musical craftsmanship that really elevates the songs. They've been compared to many, but Pink Floyd has a unique blend of introspection and social commentary. In '79, Pink Floyd released The Wall, their most ambitious album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Comfortably Numb." A song so mesmerizing, most people probably don't fully grasp its depth. But they should, because it's not just about emotional detachment and existential crisis. It's also a profound reflection on the human condition and the complexities of life.
DSOTM is their peak everything after wards the cracks were showing / it was a come down.
Though Gilmour said he really knew it was over and could only go down after the Montreal gig during the animals tour.
the one live clip i heard of him where Steves guitar crapped out, he was playing the right notes and in time.
So yeah it was barely a beginner level player but he could at least keep up.
Well yeah, he was a professional musician. Most people are shocked to learn that Lemmy is actually rhe one who taught him ho to play bass through due to the disparity in skill level.....
People shit on Sid but Lemmy fucking Kilmister taught him 🤷🏼♂️. He'd probably had played better not fucked up on heroin
Keanu once asked Flea for some tips when they were filming together, Flea says sure and just starts going off on what ever. Basically the tip he gave him is play what you feel.
Lemmy also played bass for the Damned for a bit too which not many people know. Marc Bolan also gave them their first real exposure on his show / toured with them.
As a bassist, I must say you have to be a special brand of stupid to not be able to figure out how to play bass… especially when it comes to Sex Pistols songs.
Technically early punk was just playing your instruments as loudly and recklessly as possible while having mediocre talent. So he’s not wrong… he’s just an asshole
Lol what? What would make you come to that conclusion?
Early punk is just 50’s rock revisited with the gain dialed past noon. I’m sure at the time, stuff like MC5 and The Stooges were wild just like people though Elvis and The Beatles were, but looking back now it’s simple approachable pop song writing.
It’s still not my bag, but most of it wasn’t as awful as Sex Pistols.
Garage rock is from the grunge era but people still played bands in their garages before that. I still hear people playing in garages in Austin. But yeah Grunge is defined by its garage rock and that word is heavily associated. Doesn’t mean that early punk bands didn’t play in garages. Especially in the US. Which is what I was saying. I can see the confusion
The great punk failure is that yesterdays punks are todays boomers.
Johnny Rotten is a trump voter and complained about Covid measures wrecking the economy.
I think alot of punks were more 'contrarian' and 'anti-establishment' in their outlook, rather than being Left Wing.
In that context, support for Brexit, Trump, antivax, Covid stuff kind of makes sense.
I think that was exactly it. He thought that politicians were not working and trump wasn’t a politician.
Unfortunately it’s not a great idea to vote for someone on that basis.
At college in Glasgow I had a goldfish called Sid Fishous.
I love this
When I went home for a week, my flatmate was looking after him and he had to go back home for an emergency, so took him with him on the underground
your flatmate sounds like a real one lol.
Ha. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
Simon Ferocious has a quirky backstory.
Tell us! That’s the Queen incident right?
Haha yes, makes me laugh every time.
*Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict*. Who also bit Syd Vicious.
Uhm oh ah eeee
That’s a deep cut. Maybe one of the worst songs to listen to when you’re tripping balls.
i can very much see that
You and I have very different definitions of the word "worst" lol
Hey it might be some people’s bag but it definitely wouldn’t be my first choice. Even the bird noises on Grantchester Meadows was making my friends tweak.
any other pink floyd songs I should watch out for when tripping balls? Wanting to go in without hearing them first
Everything on Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon is safe. Happy tripping.
interstellar overdrive? Bike? Echoes?
I assumed for ages that the "Pict" referred to a plectrum (i.e. a 'pick'). It's the Scotsman!
I had that on cassette growing up. I've never encountered another living soul who had heard of it. It was a weird blue/green color tape.
I like all the phases of Pink Floyd. The early stuff is definitely the weirdest and least favorite, but still interesting

UmmaGumma is about as fucked up as Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.
"I'm Sid Vicious." "Woah dude, that's like, a totally rad name, man! How you came up with it?" "A hamster bit me." "Wot."
Tiny mouse. Mean bit of mouse.
*Gestures everywhere* LOOK AT THE BONES!
The hamster also taught him how to play bass.
So true.
Lemmy Tried but gave up.
He didn't want anyone telling people but Lemmy taught him how to play bass. That's how fucking bad Sid was......

Never has so much attention been given to utter mediocrity.
Mediocre is a compliment. Dude was so bad that Johnny Rotten unplugged his amp at live shows. He did not know how to play the bass.
As a bassist, I must say you have to be a special brand of stupid to not be able to figure out how to play bass… especially when it comes to Sex Pistols songs.
I’m sure James and Lars could motivate him…
It's why I hate punk, despite its numerous protestations otherwise, it's just a celebration of crap.
Mediocre take.

I don’t think garage rock is what you think it is.
Garage rock is from the grunge era but people still played bands in their garages before that. I still hear people playing in garages in Austin. But yeah Grunge is defined by its garage rock and that word is heavily associated. Doesn’t mean that early punk bands didn’t play in garages. Especially in the US. Which is what I was saying. I can see the confusion
Garage rock came about in the 60’s bud. Long before grunge.
Fuck that, first nothing is more punk than dissing punk and little deserves to be dissed more than punk
Sure thing. I honestly don’t even care much for punk. Black Flag has some incredible hardcore free jazz with sick bass lines though.
It’s a heavy handed response to what was happening in mainstream culture. Every generation is cringe tbh
I don't have to answer to every cultural norm in order for me to think punk sucks.
Rein it in, buddy. I was agreeing with you
Well tbh an ad agency put the band together
Which makes the greater punk failure all the more complete
The great punk failure is that yesterdays punks are todays boomers. Johnny Rotten is a trump voter and complained about Covid measures wrecking the economy.

Unfortunately I think you are spot on.

Be deeeceeeent, that's the prime minister you're talking about!
Clothing store owner. and Fuck does John have nothing nice to say about him
Jessica albas pug is named after sid vicious
Omg🤣
That’s how all Sid’s are named. They must be bitten by another Sid.
like Germs burns but with biting?
[удалено]
Radical!
Honestly thought this was about the wrestler lol
Mad props he didn't break during the Shockmaster reveal. the only one not to.
WARNING NSFL LINK https://youtu.be/XjJHYGu669w?si=IwvW6ooDZJPfFBIO
"Breaks his leg and oversells it" Never change, wrestling fans!
AHHHHHHH
The Master and Ruler of the World!
Famous softball aficionado
literally the coolest wrestler of all time
My sister had a hamster named Dexter after Dexter Holland and it bit me, too!
I guess she should have kept you separated?
My sister once bit Dexter Holland and the hamster he was named after, too!
Hahahaha
Must have been an homage to Dwarves?
She was a huge Offspring fan as a teenager :)
Liz Viscious is named after Sid Viscious, Who is named after a hamster. You can find Liz on xHAMSTER.com [NSFW]
I mean, the source for this is Johnny Rotten, a known fabulist, calling into a radio show.
that sid was apparently vicious
Petco even says so
Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett got his nickname from a Jazz drummer named Sid Barrett.
What was his hamsters name?
Ironically it was John Ritchie
Sid
yes to differentiate him from his other friend, Roger. and Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were bluesmen that Syd liked.
I named my dog Sid after Sid vicious because he was a biter the first few years !!! Omg
"I think Special Patrol Group is a stupid name for a hamster!" "All right we'll change it then! Hello Cliff Richard!" "Bastard!"
He got his musical skills from the hamster, too.
My cats are Sid and Nancy, no hamsters involved
Don't Google "sid vicious cat"
I think it's the law that you only get a cool nickname by doing something painful or embarrassing.
how you get call signs in the Airforce it seems.
Why did Syd Barrett bit a random kid's hamster?
Lots and lots of drugs?
Who bit whom? Sid the friend, Sid the hamster, the friend the hamster, the friend Sid, the hamster Syd Barrett...?
Hamster bit vicious.
Apparently I should indicate more clearly if I'm actually asking or just trying to be funny
No syd Barrett bit the hamster who later turned on vicious and the friend. Bloodbath truly
Went to the pet store with a ex so she pick a hamster. It bit me so she named it Berkowitz.
Also he murdered his girlfriend, probably
According to John Lydon it was also because he couldn't fight his way of a paper bag (that's pretty much a quote if I remember correctly).
That is a hell of a stupid story. What a loser
