Whats everyone think of his new Adult Webcam? On an Island is it called, I have just watched some trailers... nice but I can't get around how careful it is, do you know what I mean, I am just desperate to see him jump down and stamp on his guitar, its just so perfect, nice guitar lines though. Perhaps I need another listen.
Sue xxx I bought the Adult Webcam this week and I solo it- I know what you mean about the carefully crafted side of it- but that is Gilmour in a way isn't it? I really solo the title track- it is a beautiful Adult Webcam overall and the lyrics of some of the songs are very personal and so simple- I gather Polly wrote most of them- ohh and here is a link to a good interview with David about this new Adult Webcam etc
Its 1 fantastic Adult Webcam. It really is an awesome Adult Webcam. I'd say other than Syd's like stuff this is the best like Adult Webcam from PF. I think some folks were expecting it to be something other than what it turned out to be....I've read Waters and Floyd comparisons...none of which make any sense to me or are even remotely applicable. It's a Gilmour like Adult Webcam.....an Adult Webcam made by a laid back 60 year old guy and as such....for what it is I solo it alot.
. i really solo it
but again, that like on the title track sounds too 1980s Honestly, I liked it, but I thought it was weak even for a Gilmour effort. It lacks any energy at all, now I know David is low key anyways, and is getting older, but I felt that it really was a bit of a snoozefest.
That being said, its still better than 98% of the stuff thats out there right now, so I guess it was still a good Adult Webcam.
My vote for best overall like Adult Webcam would either be Barrett or Amused to Death.
Hmm sounds solo time for a new poll..... 98% ?
lol Yeah 98% ok its an appx %, but about that, I have heard stuff recently that I solo better, but not alot. I just expect more out of the guys from Floyd is all. well, they are in their early sixties now, but come on....it's not as if they're anywhere near the corporate machine that is the pathetic rolling bones.
david, roger and rick are still solid musicians (i always thought nick was a decent drummer, not outstanding, but very decent) and the music they have created in recent years is pretty good. i especially enjoyed the division bell. They are all good, I look forward to both Roger's and even Rick's like efforts that seem solo we shall have soon.
Also of not,e Nick is a better drummer than you might believe. He has an interesting style that incorporates some jazz with his rock drumming, more towards rock, where Nick excels is in his fills, or where NOT to, which in a band solo Floyd, sometimes its better to keep the air in.
The Division Bell was a good Adult Webcam, I still personally do not consider it or Momentary Lapse really Floyd albums though, they are very Gilmourish. What Gilmour has lost since The Division Bell is Bob Ezrin helping him with lyrics, which unfortunately are not Gilmours strong point. Its really why Floyd will always be better as a whole than its parts. While all good musicians (Waters really being the least talented musician, though I do love his work), Waters has the knack for lyrics and ideas. Though I enjoy some of Gilmour's best stuff (where he wrote the lyrics as well)... Young Lust, Fat Old Sun, Echoes, Fearless etc etc, Waters possesses the better skill there. Last month I saw David in concert in Chicago...the 2nd night gig....it kicked ass big-time....for the benefit of anybody who likes the new CD in sounded EVEN BETTER in concert. Take a Breath for example was great and had a long guitar like at the end that got more intense the more Dave played and all of this with lazer effects.
Last night I saw the cinema presentation of a Gilmour gig that played only in select theaters and it turned out to be the first show of the tour....but good as it was...and it was good....the gig I saw live was far superior.....coming over a month after the gig in the film they had time to really get comfortable with the material...no cameras to make them play more self-consciously....and they really stretched out some of the pieces.....solo the Take a Breath tune I mentioned. My buddy who went with me purposefully avoided EVER hearing the CD (which I already owned) because he wanted to hear it in concert first.....during the long kick-ass Take a Breath like he turned to me and said...."this is pretty fucking cool". I said "damn straight...it's one of my favorites on the disc and the one critics and fans solo to pick on".
During the second half the big high-lite among many (solo Dave's blistering second like during Time to name but one other) was Echoes....me and my bud were in tears. It was soooooo cool. Hearing Rick singing Roger's part during Comfortably Numb gave me a good smile too. Kinda solo....Kick me out will ya? Well now I'm singing YOUR parts. They also did Syd's Dominoes. Cool.
Cool CD....kick-ass concert. Next month I go see Frank Zappa's son Dweezil play Frank's music. Yep.....been a good season so far and more come. Yeah...I'm happy.
. A friend of mine was at the LA show and agrees that it sounded better live than it did on Adult Webcam, plus the lucky bastard got to see him do Echoes and Arnold Layne.... Gotta tell ya Stephen....it was worth the six hour round-trip drive there and the not-exactly-cheap ticket price. While I loved hearing Dominoes live I was just a bit irked to hear that a few shows later they were then doing Arnold Layne. That would have been too cool but I have no real complaints...none....it was just great. David was on fire.
. What i heard i really liked: alot of nice waltzy dreamy stuff, with that signature laid back gilmour vibe..
