David Gilmour - Interview - 7/6/1981 - unknown (Official)

[@bumblefritz]

He's so well spoken it always feels slightly strange when he curses.

[@Chrisdrumz]

Lol.....it's quite jarring.

[@ViaticalTree]

sbjkd he said “fuck” exactly like the average American would say it, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

He has a great way of talking. Very peaceful and considered. As a narrator he would be excellent.

[@BrianJohnstonTrombone]

I love how he starts this interview by saying: "Shut the fuck up"

[@TheOGSticks11]

I must've missed that part.

[@sharonrichards1627]

His only flaw is that he got old. Such perfection should stay young forever. In a perfect world.

[@patriciabarkley735]

Unfortunately many of our rock and rollers are passing away several times a week. It makes me realize I’m 71, and getting older fast.

[@counterpuncher01]

Of any guitarist who denies playing air guitar in the mirror, David is the ONE I believe. In the video One Slip (wayyyy underrated song) he sorta takes the ONE and ONLY dance step of his entire career! LOL

[@BaddaBigBoom]

He probably stood in front of his bedroom mirror holding an electric guitar like a cricket bat pretending to be Dennis Compton.

[@ramdeihutheram432]

Gorgeous David Gilmore. So talented and articulate. 💕💐

[@GraffitiPhysical]

I agree and see eye to eye with so much that David says. Especially about the guitar being the most holistic instrument. I started my career playing drums. I studied charts as a 12 year old for a couple of years. Played professionally for over 10 years. I had a calling to move over to the guitar. Playing the drums though gave me a fundamental foundation that I would recommend every musician to start playing drums. It made it much easier when I jumped over to guitar.

[@lorijernegan1039]

[@nickkapatais]

0:23 Easier than piano? Whoa, David...Anyway, what I really like about these legends is that they're so laid back and all the cared about really was getting the guitar into their hands and just playing. No bullshit. Just a pure love for playing and making music. I've got a feeling that if you walk up to Gilmour and shred at 200 bpm 16th notes, he won't give much of a shit.

[@heldig5617]

Yeah. David is about pouring your soul in your guitar playing, not that chicken-shit and show-off (shredding, tapping, 200 bpm into oblivion) games.

[@TiagoCavalcanti-ji6hu]

Yep, true story, he doesn't need to rush up for the right notes; he's found them already. Easily, the most elegant rock guitar player of our time.

[@TheOnlyGuitarFather]

I agree.. guitar is much easier

[@xsm5525]

Classy, Ted. I think your behaviour makes you vain. You could have decided NOT to get so riled up by an innocent comment, and shown some maturity while at it. You chose not to. You care about the appearances, and you feel that the current appearance is that you're somehow a badass for acting so tough in the internet. :D

[@sportz2493]

God, Ted....you're really all twisted up by how good-looking David Gilmour is and how much women admire him, aren't you? Relax. It's got nothing to do with you. His handsome face is not affecting your life in any way whatsoever. By the way, you keep using that word "vain" - I don't think it means what you think it means. Kasia (and other women who comment on Gilmour's looks) are not being "vain" in their admiration. Check out a dictionary and try again.

Probably the handsomest man in rock history, but not flamboyant like other British rockers. Casual dress on stage and as far as I know he didn't jump around or do sexy moves ;) I actually saw a doc. one time about British progressive rock with a lot of interviews and one guy (Mont Campbell of Egg) said something like "No, we weren't very sexy on stage anyhow I'd have been rather unconvincing. Could you picture me doing pelvic thrusts while playing in 5/8 time? No".

It’s funny he mentioned Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck when both of those artists later played on Roger Waters’ albums.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Not really, they were all around each other in the late 60s when all the bands they were in at the time were either headlining events or they’d be on the same event, beck, Clapton and Gilmour were all round each other back in those days.

[@jeanniefranco7461]

I agree with him guitar is easier than piano by a long stretch

[@flacidhouse350]

Nah. Piano is easy. It's the most basic expression of western music.

[@timeforachange12]

I don't agree actually. Piano is a lot easier, especially for beginners.

[@samuelluria4744]

Piano is MUCH more difficult! The superimposition of modalities is like playing chess on multiple boards. Guitar simply involves moving up and down the scale, as opposed to rearranging the geometry of the scales and playing different modalities in the same spaces.

[@flacidhouse350]

No. The Piano is the easiest instrument in the world. Try telling Stanley Jordan your theory about the limitations of the guitar. That would be funny.

[@samuelluria4744]

Who said a damned thing about limitations of the guitar?!? If anything, my words hint at the breadth of potentialities on the guitar, vis a vis other instruments. The difficulty of piano is due to the limitations of piano, and not the other way around. In any case, I'm referring NOT to the potential for virtuosity, but rather to the structural limitations of the music itself. Therefore, there is nothing to do be gained by bringing in references to any particular masters. I prefer the guitar playing of David Gilmour, to all the piano music that has ever been played. But that's not relevant. This didn't have to be any sort of an argument at all, but apparently you were itching to name drop - so, there you are then. Excellent.

[@WalterFraga]

What horrible questions. The interviewer clearly didn't know anything about England in the late 50s early 60s

[@samuelluria4744]

He was fishing for more sexy answers.... the fucking moron. Anybody with a brain would have known by then, that David Gilmour was not gonna grab that bait! He wanted him to say inanities, like, "Yeah! I wanted to swing a guitar around on stage, and get 20 slags backstage after the show"....not happening, fool.

DG, being his modest self: "Emmmm, I think I'm a half decent guitar player, and hopefully would inspire others potential in years to come as to how it would inspire soul and spirit!' 40 years down the line: David Gilmour is the greatest rock guitar player to his fans, and any neutrals would placed him in Top 5 easily, above all a more than half decent human being who donates massive amounts to humanitarian efforts, animal welfare, endless charities...
