- After researching and editing all of my videos on The Wall, I was left with some random thoughts and opinions that didn't quite fit in the other videos. Let me know all of you think #PinkFloyd #vinylrewind

You know an album is good when theres like, 5 endings to this series lol
Right!
I'd love to see a video on Animals or Wish You Were Here.
I wanna more about animals so much
Hey you're the man who uploaded the wall concert!
or an actual review of dsotm
Cigar imagine a movie on either of those albums like there was for the wall
Ayy cigar
This is Vinyl Rewinds “ Spare Bricks”
Your series on The Wall has been the best in depth analysis of a Pink Floyd record on youtube, I really hope you can cover more of the Pink Floyd catalogue at some point.
Polyphonic‘s Series in Dark side of the Moon is also really good
Kubrick and Roger would have killed each other.
walrusonion dude totally 😂
walrusonion hahaha true!!
Funny enough, Kubrick approached Pink Floyd to use Atom Heart Mother in A Clockwork Orange. When the condition was the music could be edited as he saw fit, Roger Waters refused.
Twenty or so years later, when Roger Waters approached Stanley Kubrick for the use of sound from 2001: A Space Odyssey in Amused to Death, Stanley refused him. Needless to say that he didn't take it well =D
@@DerekPower facts
I hate say it but how about Tim Burton?
This is still one of my all-time favorite albums and holds up even today. Just an amazing masterpiece
Well said.
RICHARD WRIGHT: Underappreciated, to say the least.
On the early Pink Floyd records, when they were working up songs as a band. Richard's songwriting contributions were always a deeply satisfying pause and sigh on those albums.
On other albums, MEDDLE and The Dark Side Of The Moon are immediate thoughts his co-lead vocals with David Gilmour are glorious, vulnerable, and border on perfectly beautiful sadness.
He was an incredibly irreplaceable part of the "sound" of Pink Floyd.
When I hit record, I expected to talk for about 5 min, didn't realize I had so much to say!
Who would you have picked to direct The Wall?
If not Bob Geldof, who would you have picked to star as Pink?
Who you would pick for a remake / sequel of The Wall?
Also, be sure to vote if you want to see a video on The Black Strat!
Vinyl Rewind probably a colaborar between the original cast and the director of Bohemium Rhapsody
Honestly, I don't think The Wall needs a remake.
Vinyl Rewind I’d love to see a remake with Denis Villeneuve directing (a great psychological director) and Jared Leto as Pink (I know that might turn people off, but his edgier acting and attitude would be great for the character, and he can sing too).
@@NicBrandon interesting choices
If the Wall had to be remade I think Luca Guadagnino( director of Suspiria 2018) could make a pretty great movie. Especially the way he incorporates music with Suspiria. I'd choose Eddie Redmayne or Jake Gyllenhaal because of his performance in Nightcrawler
That animals album is just looming in the background
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Vinyl Rewind: *keeps talking about The Wall*
Animals: "Sup bitch"
@@csigunner5087 "Nice place. When am I getting reviewed."
@@arbyw.1889 Yessss
Pink Floyd and Kubrick? Yeah the relationship between them would make that impossible, which is sad since it would be amazing
I know right, too bad
I like your profile picture, where is it from?
It would be sick
The closest that crossover will ever happen is the syncs on CZcams of Pink Floyd X 2001: A Space Odyssey lmao Man...the what could have been is always bittersweet
You should definitely make a playlist containing all of your videos on this album. Fantastic series!
The Wall should had been a triple album including the Final Cut wich is a absolute masterpeice.
The band is notorious for not giving what the fans want. David Gilmour refused a enormous sum to reunite the band in 2005. Cannot ask to much of them these days.
I think Roger's solo tour was successful enough to give The Wall closure. He renewed the story for another generation, with the writer given full credit. I personally love to see footage of Dark Side played live in the 70s, like in Wembley.
If a film is to be made, I don't want a remake of PFTW, but rather a biopic. The Pink Floyd legacy is so rich and interesting. It can be divided into two parts, part 1 being Syd Barrett's downfall, ending with his 1975 visit, part 2 being Roger's own downfall (I'll see in the dark side of the moon), ending with live 8.
I love this channel. Not only would I love to see a overview of the black strat, but also a vid that documents Pink Floyd's history as a band, the many eras, the change of sound, and the beautiful conclusions etc.
A remaster could be going on in secret and just waiting for a specific anniversary to be released.
There's no official live footage of Pink Floyd between 1973 and 1977, unfortunately.
A biopic would be a very bad idea imo.
@@4ctmam Biopic would not be a worse idea than bohemian rhapsody or rocket man, and the former two garnered mainstream attention.
@@BlizzyFoxTF I know they did. I haven't seen Rocket Man but IMO Bo Rhap was awful. Just a personal opinion.
I think Terry Gilliam would have made an amazing Wall Movie. I still love Parker’s, but Gilliam would have knocked it out of the park.
I agree, but Gilliam wouldn't have done it without complete control.
I didn't think of Terry - nice one. That would of been interesting and I think great visuals would of been achieved.
Regarding the story of the album, Roger Waters on BBC radio (1979) In case not heard:
czcams.com/video/T8Z5VnoTACg/video.html
Hmmm, Gilliam or any other visual director would have clashed with Scarfe & all his pre-production & it would have gone horribly wrong. Remember Parker was originally the producer, anybody else in the hot seat and it probably wouldn't have been completed given Waters & Scarfe had no idea how to get nor spend $12M on a feature film..
At the end of the day, the weakness of the film is not the director but the screenplay, the story of alienation and self-destruction is pretty vague which you can get away with on a 'concept' music album but not for 90 minutes on a 30' screen - there's only about 3 lines in the film, try directing that! (As Steven Spielberg the master story teller himself said, what the hell was that all about?).
Essentially an epic pop video which I love with all it's faults!
The Wall will always be important to me because of how it made me feel at age 16, and how it makes me feel at 23 years old. I often talk about and reference this album in therapy because I feel like it describes my bipolar disorder perfectly, and the connections I made with it during my psych ward stay and everything.
the movie is also extremely important to me because it's one of the films I wish I could make now that i'm studying film- and for the record, I would love to have seen Kubrick direct this.
Children going into a giant meat grinder you: THAT IS AMAZING
But it is amazing, disturbingly amazing
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking is a MASTERPIECE.
Your videos on "The Wall" made me a subscriber. Thank you for your hard work and your amazing analysis!
i like this video it feels like hes just talking to us its nice during isolation
I was lucky enough to see The Wall at Earls Court. My stepmum bought me and my brother tickets, we were put on a bus and sent to London. . I was only 15 and it blew me away. The bits I remember the most was the plane on the wire... the hotel scene..and David Gilmour playing comfortably numb.. I thoght the animation was really cool too.
Every time I click on a video of yours, I get this new vinyl scent..... I do love the smell of vinyl in the morning!
Would love to see in-depth analysis of Echoes. Great show man, much love.
Tim Burton in his glory days would have been a good director for a new version of The Wall.
You have "amazing powers of observation"! I love your reviews of Pink Floyd! You really GET IT, and have great passion!
Roger has stated in recent interviews that they had the whole The Wall bluray remaster ready to go and were about to work on remastering the tour footage to release with it... but David refused to have it released. David apparently also refused to approve the Animals box set which is why that was never released either. This is what Roger has said at least.
Roger said it was all ready to go. I wish I knew why David approved the box sets for all the other albums except Animals, and why he is the one hold up of having The Wall tour footage remastered and released... Hopefully we will see it one day.
I do like the idea of Instrument Biographies not just for David Glimour but any artist's instrument and variants.
🗿stone
Solar I know a man of class when I see one 🗿

I really like bob in the wall. He gives a really good performance
You should talk about pros and cons of hitchhiking. One of my favorite records ever.
Richard Wright's treatment explains his attitude of "art, schmart, pay me!"
GOD, YES. With you 100% on the movie. The story ought to be expanded a great deal. Two movies, even, as is _de rigueur_ in these times.
Re-animating the wall would be an amazing idea. I’m totally in!!!
To your last question pertaining to the black strat.........YES!
IIRC, the song "The Final Cut" off the album of the same name is supposed to be an extension of The Wall that could work as the ending you're thinking of. There's a series of lines in the middle that go, "If you negotiate the minefield in the drive / And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes / And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall / Dial the combination, open the priest hole / And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)" with the parenthesized words covered by a gunshot that means whoever he is speaking to wasn't able to reach him. The ending of the song is Pink saying that despite wanting to die he never managed to kill himself out of fear. It was originally supposed to be on The Wall but it was slightly rewritten to better fit the PTSD and anti-war themes of The Final Cut and be slightly more autobiographical (even though much of The Wall is inspired by Roger's life).
7:12 *Roger will remember that*
PUT THAT SILLY REVIEWER UP AGAINST THE WALL!
A Guillermo Del Toro directed remake of The Wall would be AMAZING!!!
This series has been really interesting and informative, thank you for taking your time to make it!
Great series and enjoyed the in depth view. Awesome work as always and definitely want to see The Black Strat!!
Very well put, i admire your great understanding and passion for this album it's like the ark of music, what an absolutely unbelievable masterpiece 👌🏻
amazing way to close this series of videos of the wall, love your content , I'm always trying to let everyone I know bout your channel.
keep it up and we'll catch you on the flip side 😃
We can digitally adjust the brightness and colors with today’s technology for the concert. It would be a cake walk for Weta Studios.
Thank you for an exhaustive review on this album (plus more). I find you to be an excellent deliverer of the appropriate information. Well researched and well produced as always. Thanks and well done! Regards, Dave ✌️
Stumbled into your channel while researching another project. Masterful work. Thanks for The Wall series.
What you have done with your videos about The wall is just amazing, very complete, many thanks! A video on that guitar would be awesome, it is an iconic instrument.
Amazing content man. Im glad I came across this channel
Keep up the great work and passion.
Very good love your historical description of the album and the tour. I was at the first concert in LA and was waiting for you to talk about when the fire works started a fire in the curtains. Surprised you missed that. Looking back that was pretty freaky now. Saying that it was the greatest concert of all time for me.
This was a very interesting video, thanks for sharing your thoughts and I agree with most. This is hands down in my opinion the greatest album ever made and of course we want to see a video on Gilmour's guitar! Keep up the amazing work!
Yes! Yes I would love to see a bio on the strat! Thay would be awesome 👌
Great channel, glad to see you back..👍🏻
I’ve got a little black book with my poems in.
The wall is the Toltec’s four agreements.The similarities are uncanny.
I'm fairly certain that the universe would have imploded upon itself if you tried to make Roger's ego and Kubick's ego work together...
I like how you made a lot of videos about it, since it's one of my favourite albums. Also i found your channel through your trilogy on how The Wall was made
Yeah! We want the video of the Black Strat's story, just like the book, but in images. Definitely, Stanley Kubrick would have been my ideal director for The Wall. Great channel!
The Wall is the Wall.
Whatever you can say about it, it's a masterpiece that touch us deeply in our heart and mind.
There is nothing much more to say about it. Just one of if not the greatest album of all time period.
Yes would love to see the black strad's life!!
Yo that color combo is dope as hell. Blue tie, burnt orange button up and off white blazer
YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR EXISTING.
A buddy of mine and I found a bootleg of most of the tour on limewire back in the day and made a DVD copy of it and I still hold on to it this day. Some stuff we had to record his computer screen with a camera to get some of the footage and did our best to line up "Is There Anybody Out There?". Not the greatest thing in the world but it's the best I'll get for now.
Ethan Lechner would you share the DVD ?
@@hiterss sure I can dig it out of the basement
@@elech77 awesome !! Let me know when you Rip the DVD , please and thank you
We need that petition!!!
RICK WRIGHT was a big part of the floyd sound. Just imagine the music without keyboards. A perfect example of how Wright came up with ideas, watch the Dark Side of the Moon documentary.
It's a good thing to have this level of critique. Coming from an expert in film industry. Pumps up the discussion. Thanks man, for having your own voice, and not being another fanboy
these videos are awesome!
Love to see a video about the black strat!
Hell yes, I’d love to see that video on the Strat!!!
Love your tie and your set !
The Wall was the last of the Classic Rock concept albums.
Floyd has given us so much, there was no need for them to continue.
Fantastic series on The Wall - thank you! Sorry, it may already be in the comments, a 25th Anniversary edition of the movie was released in 2005: Hi Def transfer, 5.1 Dolby. Waters and Parker had ducked into an afternoon cinema and came away a bit chagrined thinking they could have tightened it up a bit, so they did for this DVD release.
Kubrick directing Malcolm McDowell as Pink!
Great video as always! And yes, please make a video about the Black Strat!
Very well done
The wall came out the year I started to work so for me it has a special place in my life and listening to it on cassette tape recorded from the original vinyl was awesome.
I would really appreciate a video about the Black Strat! And thanks for these final thoughts
This is the second CD I owned double CD so good listened and got away from my worries for awhile listened all the way through many times
I like the petition thing you told, that should be done !
Definitely agree about how the Wall concert footage from the early 80's should be restored and released. I would also like to see a new deluxe edition of the original album with bonus stuff like the full What Shall We Do Now and the longer promo mix of Young Lust with options to listen in stereo or surround and also I think a way to make a better Wall movie would be to not bother with live action and make it an entirely animated movie based on Gerald Scarfe's artwork.
Imagine if Terry Gilliam directed and Jack Nicholson played Pink!
I’m aware you’re planning on a lot of other stuff (and will probably forget about this suggestion) but it would be cool to see some more KC reviews.
As always, this channel deserves way more subscribers and views! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate your insight and spirit-
The Floyd will forever be comfortably numb as a work in progress ; a portrait of the band from a trillion miles beyond the moon.
I love the fact that you have thought so much about this fantastic album, great in depth review of the Wall, thank you
Hopefully you have seen both roger waters the wall live in Berlin and his 2013/2015 Wall tour movie....... Outstanding!!!
Damn son, I think you just described David Lynch.
Please make a video on David's guitar. It will be pretty cool to see its journey and hearing you narrate it will top it all. (y)
Hell yeah to the "Black Strat Video"
I would love to see a video on the black strat and for the film I would have Danny Boyle direct but idk him for animated scenes as that's really not his thing
Oooooaaaaaa the show must go on..you have some good points..i love your look into the best band that has came out of gb in my opinion.
I would love to see a video on Wish you were here and The Animals plus guitar take your time love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man! So many interesting questions. I really hope you will review Wish You Were Here
Comments concerning the concert film footage:
The issue of lighting was not so much aesthetic but more for technical reasons as film emulsions were still not sensitive to low-light situations, which it most certainly was given it was more theatre than anything else.
Now, as scanning has improved significantly over the years, you could scan the negatives (and I assume this was 35mm ... if it were 16mm, you had even less latitude and thus light becomes more important) at 4K (8K is overkill and that's enough used for 65mm film elements ... only a handful of films have ever been digitized at that resolution ... 12K is about IMAX level). Thus you could make a really solid visual record of what happened those nights at Earl's Court in 1980.
As far as "reluctance", it's less being reluctant and more they are perfectionists and commandeering in their own right. They are not going to do something unless they are in some kind of agreement (which has gotten better over the years). It's probably more Roger's call as he does own relevant rights to The Wall (this is why he was able to stage it in Berlin in 1990). And who's to say something is not being done as we speak? After all, we have had the vinyl reissues of both The Piper at the Gates of Dawn *and* A Saucerful of Secrets in *mono* for Record Store Days 2018 and 2019 respectively. Also, we had the Early Years set issued several years ago and it contained a lot of material over the course of five years or so. At this point, anything is possible.
It has been joked and rumoured amongst fans of the Criterion Collection that Pink Floyd The Wall would be issued by them at some point.
Roger has is own walls out there. No sharing.
You know, its getting to the point as to which I buy the album you talk about BEFORE I watch, then listen to it, then watch your video.
And the story ends. Or rather, begins again, with a faint voice asking.
Isn’t this where…we came in?“
Those fans who like resolute endings cast about for one, turning to Pink Floyd’s follow-up album (the last one recorded with Roger Waters at the helm), The Final Cut, finding (or perhaps forcing) remarkable similarities between Pink and the narrator of many of the latter album’s songs.
Some go so far as to tout it as a loose sequel to the Wall, one that gives possible hints about Pink’s fate after the last of his bricks fell. Considering that The Final Cut is composed of songs deemed not suitable for inclusion on The Wall, this idea may very well be a fact rather than a theory. Regardless of whether one finds echoes of Pink in other albums, the Wall itself concludes inconclusively.
That is to say, it circles back on itself, ending where it started. Like Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Mariner’s compulsive need to tell his tale to anyone who will listen, the album cycles back to the beginning for a retelling to another audience; and like the wedding guest to whom the Mariner related his story, we are left a sadder and a wiser man.
Through the imaginative storytelling and a metaphor that translates equally well to both the microcosm of the individual and the macrocosm of society, we are certainly wiser to what Waters' sees as the detrimental, soul-robbing effects of personal and social isolationism; though still, sadder all the same to the notion that even after the collapse of one wall, another is built and the cycle repeats.
Yet in the end, Pink’s story becomes less about a singular rock star and more about us, the audience, and the world we live in. Similarly, the characters in Pink’s story are just as universal as its protagonist.
While they are never given names throughout the entire album, their roles in Pink’s life define their personalities as Mother Father, Teacher, and Spouse, possibly mirroring those very same characters in our lives.
These could very well be our Mothers, Fathers, Teachers, and Loved ones. Accordingly, Pink’s story could be our own. In a sense, Pink’s story IS our own. Though the details are no doubt different, the underlying themes of humanity and its subsequent degradation as a result of personal and societal disconnection are universal.
These themes apply to our lives and our world just as much as they apply to Pink’s fictional (yet just as authentic) story. Just like the bleeding hearts in Outside the Wall Pink Floyd has taken it upon themselves to convey this timeless story of personal decay, perhaps in the hopes that these omnipresent patterns, these cycles of violence, might be averted.
Such is the ultimate aim of art: to illuminate, to edify. Pink’s story is finished. He constructed his wall, fell into moral decay because of it, and ultimately destroyed this isolating barrier. Our story, however, is still taking place. What happens to Pink soon becomes nowhere near as important as what happens to us. How do we live our lives?
Are we currently constructing or tearing down those hindrances that produce disconnection and degeneration? How do our personal walls contribute to those of our nation, our world? How much of the world’s ills are we really responsible for? Most importantly, which versions of Pink will we choose to be?
As for Roger Waters, the man whose autobiographical blood and bones prop up the flesh of the character Pink, the story is similarly unending. Leading up to his 2010 - 2011 world tour with the Wall 30 years after the album’s original tourWaters spoke of his own wall to Rolling Stone magazine, saying
It comes down brick by brick. That’s what growing up is. I would suggest [growing up is] a dismantling of our wall, brick by brick, and discovering that when we let our defenses down, we become more loveable. I’m not saying I’ve discarded my wall or walls entirely,“he concludes. "But over the years, I’ve allowed more of it to crumble - and opened myself to the possibility of love.”
Both Pink and Waters, it would seem, finally found their way home.

i forgot about that
It would be cool if you did the black strat and Rogers black p bass which is pretty iconic to roger.
Yes, a video on the Blackstrat!
+ Animals
+ Wish you were here
+ The division bell
Bob as an actor what I remember did just great in my opinion. Can't imagine anyone doing it. Being a musician I'm sure and his looks was why most likely. I mean can you imagine someone like Kurt Russell playing Pink? Lol
Oh yeah I would really like a video on the black strat!! Also, can you make videos on the rest of the pink floyd albums and break them down like you did with The Wall? Maybe there is less to them, but it would be interesting nontheless. Great video as always!!
He really did make that guitar sing. The guitar story video would be an excellent idea!
Yes to the black strat video
first of all, i would fucking love a remaster or the film. thats just a fact. second of all, it would be amazing to see the full tour of the wall. and last but not least, i would kill to see a the wall part 2. for example, a movie continuing the life of pink from a grownup to an elder, for example. make it happen roger jajajaja. GOD DAWM IT
Please do this video about the black strat.
It seems to be very interesting and I think that a lot of people would want to see this
Hundred percent beautiful
Thanx
