Nephele Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yay, Pink Floyd. But less cryptic postings would be appreciated by all, Caesar. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ah, thanks, Neph - I was thinking of every 'wall' imaginable - except one lacking bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I edited the title of the post for clarity. Those not familiar might mistake it for a homophobic rant, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 It often puzzles me that Pink Floyd say 'We dont need no education'.They obviously do, because they just used a double negative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 It often puzzles me that Pink Floyd say 'We dont need no education'.They obviously do, because they just used a double negative... But, but... I thought double negatives were de rigueur for rock lyrics? As in the Rolling Stones' "I can't get no satisfaction." What really makes me cringe is the double preposition in Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die": "But in this ever-changing world in which we live in..." Urrrgh. James Bond wouldn't have made such an error. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornelius_sulla Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Sir Paul makes me cringe full stop. Kewpie doll motherf***! And rock should never conform to grammar. It just wouldn't work. As for The Wall, isn't it just one big Roger Waters wank? That wouldn't have happened if Syd Barrett had stayed sane! I was always glad that Roger pissed off up his own fundamental orifice of a solo career and left David Gilmour to it (even though our Dave has been re-hashing the same song for the last 20 years!) Gilmour's guitar work is the shiznit, though. Icy tone, three note bends, makes your spine tingle. He and Carlos Santana are examples of guitarists you don't have to see to know who they are - you can tell them by their tone. That to me is a testament to guitar greatness. But The Wall? There's better stuff in their back catalogue. Edited December 27, 2008 by cornelius_sulla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 It often puzzles me that Pink Floyd say 'We dont need no education'.They obviously do, because they just used a double negative... Maybe that was the point though. Perhaps it was designed to be ironic? I could be wrong, though. Can't say I ever followed Mr. Floyd. But I keep hearing one of his albums keeps perfect time with Wizard of Oz, I may have to try it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
