Do you feel Sorrow or are you Comfortably Numb ?

[Stone]

Discuss, ill go first, I know it's not fair as they are both masterpieces in feel and toanz but if I had to pick one.......
Now i want to know what my friends here would pick and maybe even why one over the other

 

[FuzzyAce]

yes

 

[FuzzyAce]

I chose Sorrow. Love them both but Sorrow takes me more on a journey. Plus that opening guitar is .

“If someone could go up and get a big fat scoop of what heaven tastes like, that’s David Gilmour’s playing right there. I can’t put it any other way; it just feels so otherworldly. He can take one note and turn it into an experience. You’re not listening, you’re experiencing his solos

Dave Mustaine

Dave absolutely nailed it there.

“Sorrow” for me. I still remember looking across Foxboro Stadium and seeing the copper lasers shooting up during the intro, hearing that monstrous fucking guitar fill the stadium and then the delays trailing off. Some of the few memories I have from that show where I can kinda still feel the feeling of being there.

I never think of the studio version of this song, I always go straight to the PULSE version. Some fun trivia for the studio version- it’s most certainly the most expensive intro ever recorded on an album; he recorded it with a Boss HM-2 into one of those tiny Galien Kruger amps, then they set up a PA in the LA Forum, mic’d the forum and blasted the track through the PA so they could record the reverb. That’s ’fuck you’ money.

Eventually I’ll learn the whole song, I haven’t spent any time with the Gilmour tones for quite a while now-

100% Pulse or Pompeii Live nothing but, Gilmour is a live player more than anything

Hahahahah oh, the boomer bends thing?

I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t take offense to that and mostly agreed with him, but thanks brother!! I appreciate those words, a lot!!!

 

[JiveTurkey]

I'll take it all. My PF fanship is all over the place and I love it. From that descending Echoes riff to the whole of Have A Cigar to Learning to Fly to On the Turning Away evil drone riff to the "Gilmour listened to U2 when they were good" and wrote Take it Back. Love it all

 

[Achilles]

Lots of boomer bending going on in this one!

My kids were in High School between 2001 and 2009 and it was always mind blowing how many kids would be wearing classic rock band t-shirts. I'd see Floyd, Zeppelin, and Sabbath all the freaking time.

Wonder if 25-30 years from now kids will be wearing Polyphia Ts......

Enjoy every moment Drew

Got thirteen threads of shit on the Forum to choose from.

My vote goes to Comfortably Numb, even though I enjoy more a momentary lapse of reason and the division bell albums as a whole.
