thanks

[@marinehisbored6463]

As an Armenian, I love this project and appreciate it

[@andresucupira4854]

Gilmour & Bruce! Fabulous!

[@uffaize]

Gilmour is on a completely different planet

[@wearealloneexceptforthatgu7848]

"We seem to have just about managed to get away with singing ourselves, without a proper singer" - one of my new favorite rock quotes of all time! David Gilmour's very funny answer to whether any thought had been given to adding Ian Gillan to Pink Floyd. I love British modesty and understatement! "Besides, we can't afford him," David Gilmour added.

[@user-vg2di1gc2d]

Ian and Bruce are two good friend as well as best singer :)

[@RB747domme]

For as long as they can remember, Ian and Bruce have been good friends. Bruce would go to Ian's house for dinner on a regular basis with his girlfriend. Now, whenever Bruce is in France, he visits Ian's château in the Ardennes. (And it's beautiful btw. Ian only paid about 200,000Fr for it, and now it's worth a small pile!)

[@MrDantres]

Where would rock n roll be without the British? :D

[@lewisyoung4531]

Nuno Benavente And where would the British Invasion be without the American Blues.

[@Captiankilljoy23]

And where would America be without England?

[@sehz1789]

its the black people that started modern music. u dont know shitt just go back in the toilet

[@Captiankilljoy23]

wes K I do agree that a lot of black people did start very popular forms of music, such as rock, blues and rap. The naive African music is innovative to say the least, but it isn't very good or technically complex in comparison to European music which would have come out at roughly the same time. I don't even know if native Americans had any music to be honest.

[@Captiankilljoy23]

wes K but the majority of the pioneers in the fields, after the 1960s, were white.

That was obviously Brian May in there playing next to Gilmour with Roger Taylor on the drums. What a supergroup that would have made.

[@damnyancey]

Richard Jefferies you can recognize Brian May by the guitar alone. he don't use name brand electric guitars. he builds his own.

Jon Lord originally *owned* this song on the Hammond(yeah, yeah, yeah...Blackmore's opening riff is one of the *most recognisable* , but...) But who is playing keyboards here? I see Roger Meddows Taylor on Drums, and Brian May on Red, but there is one unidentified guitarist. and Bruce Dickinson may be Ian Gillan's successor for the golden voice.

[@dead0ntime]

Geoff Downes and Keith Emerson are the keyboardists.
