Ten Interesting Facts About Pink Floyd

[@spooley]

Crazy Diamond is such a piece of art, great tribute to Syd. Love the Floyd.

[@MysteriumArcanum]

There are also a few references to Syd in some of the songs from The Wall.

[@alexbowman7582]

The albums great it should be their best but I always prefer Animals.

[@OzmaOfOzz]

It s a masterpiece. I once listened to the whole thing on repeat for 8hours while on the train.

[@valerykrasulya1208]

Agreed

[@mattiassvanberg9161]

[@mark950-d7d]

It was Syd Barrett who conceptualized music as experience, rather than for melody. Which is what Pink Floyd's 'philosophy' is. David Gilmour went on a hitch hiking holliday with Syd Barrett in France, long before joining the band. This is perhaps why Gilmour always made sure that Barrett always got a share of the profits as a full member of Pink Floyd, even though he was no longer an active member.

[@brentscott5359]

I had the honour of seeing Pink Floyd in 69 at the Calgary Jubilee Auditorium. $3.00 if anyone cares. Only the first of the two balconies was available for seating while the second was filled with speakers as was the entire back of the stage. This was the Ummagumma tour. The way the sounds were moved around and within the audience was nothing less than spectacular, especially when the lights were dimmed to nearly darkness. It was loud but more like filling the room loud, not ear shattering loud as is the norm today. Even got to talk briefly to them while they were setting up. Basically politely asked to come back in 2 hours when the show was to start.

The Another Brick backing vocals were the local schools music choir who were asked if they would like to visit Abbey Road and then whilst there were asked to do some backing vocals. The musicians union found out and complained and each pupil received a singed copy of The Wall.

[@JamesParkour731]

Great insightful video as always. I wanted to add that Nick Mason had a few more vocal appearances than mentioned. He sings co-lead vocals with David Gilmour and Rick Wright on 'Corporal Clegg'. He also has a few more 'vocal appearances' including the voice in 'Signs Of Life', as himself on 'Things Left Unsaid' and speech from flying in an aeroplane in 'Learning To Fly'. He also sings the line 'Drives Me Wild' in 'Candy and a Current Bun' and can be heard singing a few backing vocal lines in 'Vegetable Man'

Hi, huge Floyd fan here. Just a couple comments, trying not to nitpick. ~Roger Waters wasn't *THE* Pink Floyd vocalist, he was *Q* vocalist. If anyone has a claim to being the Floyd's lead vocalist, it's David Gilmour. ~Nick Mason also sings lead vocals on the song "Corporal Clegg" from the album _A Saucerful of Secrets._

[@ryanbradley248]

I’d say there is an equal argument that Roger was the “Lead” singer. I’ve always considered them equal in that department but since Roger was the main lyric writer (and sang lead on more songs) I understand why people would consider roger lead singer.

[@Real1Gaming]

Nick also says "Silence in the studio" on Atom Heart Mother.

Awesome, thanks for doing a facts video on Floyd! I dont know if you like them, but I would love to see you do a video on Genesis. They are one of my all-time favorite bands.

[@jasonrothbaum7266]

More interesting facts - Animals was actually a series of songs that the band played in concert well before they rewrote the lyrics to revolve around Animal Farm. Additionally, this album is what led to Gilmour wanting out of the band - they were being paid per song, so Roger was paid the same amount for the 2 minutes of Pigs on the Wing as David was for the 17 minute Dogs. The surround sound system actually limited the number of venues they could play - this is why they had a limited number of shows on their Wall tour. Nick Mason sang on many more songs. Beatles Connections: Alan Parsons cut his teeth engineering Abby Road, and that helped him get the Dark Side of the Moon producing gig. Gilmour played on No More Lonely Nights and the Prince's Trust with Paul.

I actually regret being too young to experience the Beatles when they were a group so I don't have any original presses. But with Pink Floyd I can say, I started being a fan with Wish you were here and collected everything until Waters left. Which for me was the end of Pink Floyd.
